Obama: Americans Aren’t Worth It

Posted by Raven on 18th June 2008

Liberal stuffs of the day:

WASHINGTON — A defiant Barack Obama said Tuesday he would take no lectures from Republicans on which candidate would keep the U.S. safer, a sharp rebuke to John McCain’s aides who said the Democrat had a naive, Sept. 10 mind-set toward terrorism.

“These are the same guys who helped to engineer the distraction of the war in Iraq at a time when we could have pinned down the people who actually committed 9/11,” the presumed nominee told reporters aboard his campaign plane. “This is the same kind of fear-mongering that got us into Iraq … and it’s exactly that failed foreign policy I want to reverse.”

Stupid.

Obama said the government can crack down on terrorists “within the constraints of our Constitution.” He mentioned the indefinite detention of Guantanamo Bay detainees, contrasting their treatment with the prosecution of the 1993 World Trade Center bombings.

“And, you know, let’s take the example of Guantanamo,” Obama said. “What we know is that, in previous terrorist attacks — for example, the first attack against the World Trade Center — we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in U.S. prisons, incapacitated.

“And the fact that the administration has not tried to do that has created a situation where not only have we never actually put many of these folks on trial, but we have destroyed our credibility when it comes to rule of law all around the world, and given a huge boost to terrorist recruitment in countries that say, ‘Look, this is how the United States treats Muslims. …

“We could have done the exact same thing, but done it in a way that was consistent with our laws,” Obama said.

He has just said this to Americans:

Fellow Demonstrators: We Might be Pooping Our Panties

Posted by Raven on 17th June 2008

Planning to demonstrate? Are you an activist? Watch out for the governments’ latest weapon of choice. It’s harmless, really, but causes some embarrASSment in many senses of the word.

Political activists planning protest rallies at the upcoming Democratic Convention in Denver have their stomachs in knots over a rumor about a crowd control weapon - known as the “crap cannon” - that might be unleashed against them.

Also called “Brown Note,” it is believed to be an infrasound frequency that debilitates a person by making them defecate involuntarily.

First of all, I seriously doubt this “weapon” exists as described. In fact, Mythbusters says it is not. Too bad, though. This would make an excellent weapon of MY choice to use against the losers who have planned the re-Create-68 demonstrations in Denver.

But Glenn Spangnuolo, also with Re-create 68, isn’t taking any chances. He said he has no doubt that Brown Note exists, and is preparing his group for confrontation. “Whether it causes someone to defecate in their pants or not, I don’t know that,” said Spagnuolo. “What I do know is that it causes a person to be disoriented and lose their equilibrium resulting in a nauseous feeling in their stomach.”

More troubling to Spagnuolo is the “Active Denial System” or “ADS,” a ray gun used to send high levels of microwave frequencies that cause a burning sensation the skin.

He described ADS as an “indiscriminate weapon” and said “there’s no long-term testing on what happens to the body when exposed to those kinds of microwave frequencies.”

Glenn has a big ego. I posted about this so called demonstration months ago and he commented; since then he has visited this site frequently, using search terms that include his name.

Life is Tough For Democrats: Pizza or Grilled Cheese

Posted by Raven on 15th June 2008

Liberal stuffs of the day:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats tapped a teacher from upstate New York to make the case that their party will do more for working Americans than Republicans will.

Jeff Alberici, an eighth-grade history teacher in Auburn, N.Y., was chosen to deliver the Democrats’ Saturday radio address - an unusual choice for a weekly task usually performed by elected officials.

Alberici, 37, described how the rising prices of gasoline and food makes it tough for him and his wife Megan to pay bills and still save for their three young kids’ college tuition.

“We’ll be okay, but let me put it this way: on the occasional nights when we used to order a pizza, now we’re sticking with grilled cheese sandwiches,” he said.

Alberici said he supports Democrats because they “understand what families like ours are going through, and they’re trying to make things better.”


What’s wrong with grilled cheese sandwiches?

The poor soul of a teacher! Having to make such choices! Pizza or grilled cheese? How pathetic.

What? The Democrats will make sure that everyone can order pizza for delivery? Okay thats a good reason to elect them.

Puppy Throwing Marines Punished

Posted by Raven on 12th June 2008

Remember the Puppy tossing video? The Marines involved are being punished.

HONOLULU — The Marine Corps is expelling one Marine and disciplining another for their roles in a video showing a Marine throwing a puppy off a cliff while on patrol in Iraq.

The clip shows two Marines joking before one hurls the puppy into a rocky gully. A yelping sound is heard as it flips through the air.

Marine Corps Base Hawaii said in a news release Wednesday that Lance Cpl. David Motari received unspecified “non-judicial punishment” and “is being processed for separation” from the Marine Corps.

The second Marine, Sgt. Crismarvin Banez Encarnacion also received unspecified “non-judicial” punishment.

HAMAS: We like Mr. Obama

Posted by Raven on 17th April 2008

What do Obama, Jimmy Carter and HAMAS have in common? They all like one another and HAMAS wants Obama to be the next President of the US.

On the eve of a planned meeting of its leader Khaled Meshaal with former President Jimmy Carter, the Hamas terrorist organization has expressed the “hope” that Senator Barack Hussein Obama will win the presidential elections and change America’s foreign policy.

Even though Obama has said that he would not meet with Hamas unless it renounces violence and recognizes Israel, or becomes the recognized leadership of the Palestinians — he has no qualms about holding talks with the leadership of Iran, Syria, and North Korea — that doesn’t seem to bother the Hamas leadership.

“We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections,” Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas’ top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, said in an exclusive interview with World Net Daily and with the John Batchelor Show on WABC Radio in New York.

Great. The man who has a very good chance of becoming the next President will sell out to the terrorist groups and factions, in the name of peace and good will. Screw the fact that these bastards have killed tens of thousands of innocent Israelis and would think nothing of doing that to Americans.

Gah I hate this shit.

Knock’em Down a Few Notches

Posted by Raven on 19th March 2008

So I see NY state replaced one swinescum with another?

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A day after his predecessor’s sex scandal propelled him into office, Gov. David Paterson revealed Tuesday that he had affairs with a “number of women,” including a state employee, but said that does not affect his ability to lead.

Paterson had admitted one affair in a newspaper interview hours after taking office Monday, but gave a fuller accounting at a news conference with his wife at his side.

“Several years ago, there were a number of women,” Paterson said. “The public wants to know who its elected officials are and sometimes, even though you are human, and you are someone who just has feelings and has faults, there comes a time, perhaps, when you have to tell the public.”

The irony. One man’s sexual indiscretions lead to the promotion of another man who openly admits he was involved in similar discretions.

I’ll say this: Once a man has cheated, he will do it again. And again. And again. No matter how many times he has begged for forgiveness. No matter how many times he confesses to his God. No matter how many promises he has made to his wife and family. Weak men cannot walk away from the temptation. These men need to be knocked down many notches before they can see the evil in themselves.

Speaking of weak men in higher places:

DETROIT (AP) - A defiant Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick quickly rejected the City Council’s call Tuesday for him to resign because of accusations that he lied under oath about not having an affair.

“You take a whole day to discuss an issue like this,” he said. “My reaction is: This is over. It has no effect. It’s not binding. Let’s get back to work.”

The resolution, passed 7-1, amounted to a “no-confidence” vote because the council lacks the power to force Kilpatrick to step down.

Well…it is being assumed and investigated that the good Mayor lied under oath, but who cares about that?

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy is investigating whether the mayor and former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty lied under oath when they testified in a whistle-blowers’ lawsuit that they had not had a physical relationship.

There are those pesky text messages…darn!

Kilpatrick has been dogged by media reports about steamy text messages the two exchanged that suggest a romantic relationship.

The mayor said he could not comment on the text messages on Beatty’s pager. Beatty resigned from her post in February.

…nothing to see here. Move along.

Spitzer’s Sex’capades Will Cost Him

A Responsible Citizen? No, he’s Liberal

Posted by Raven on 26th January 2008

Hmm.

A Rising Fawn man has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for lying about the existence of a fictitious video tape he said depicted “atrocities” committed by U.S. Marines in Iraq.

Dellon Tyler Ward had pleaded guilty months earlier to two counts of knowingly and willfully making materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statements to federal agents about the video footage, which allegedly showed members of the U.S. Marine Corps committing murder in Iraq.

At the sentencing hearing Friday afternoon in Rome, Federal Prosecutor Todd C. Alley reminded U.S. District Judge Harold Murphy that Ward’s lies sparked an international investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

The investigation cost $193,000 and involved pulling U.S. Marines out of combat zones in the spring of 2007.

Ward, 21, apologized for his actions at the hearing and asked for leniency.

After delivering the sentence, Judge Murphy said it was “beyond comprehension for this court why any individual who is a responsible citizen would make up such a tale.”

Oh this is easy to explain. Ward is a liberal. A Democrat. He suffers from BDS. He’s young and dumb and limpdicked, surely anti war and a peacenik. My punishment would have been 15 months in a brig at Camp LeJeune, guarded by angry pissed off Marines.

The book of the devil

Posted by Raven on 17th January 2008

Robert Spencer has an excellent article up about the indictment of Former U.S. Congressman Mark Deli Siljander (R-MI). In this, are there lessons to be learned? I think so.

Former U.S. Congressman Mark Deli Siljander (R-MI) was indicted Wednesday for money laundering, conspiracy and obstruction of justice, in connection with charges that a Muslim charity, the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), was involved in efforts to finance the Afghan jihad terrorist Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. The IARA was named a specially designated global terrorist organization by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2004.

More:

How did an American congressman get mixed up with a group co-founded and financed by Osama bin Laden? The indictment charges that the IARA hired Siljander in 2004 to lobby for its removal from a Senate Finance Committee list of organizations suspected of supporting terrorism, and reinstatement as an “approved government contractor.” The IARA, according to the indictment, paid in $50,000 that had been stolen from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) – and Siljander is also charged with helping to launder other money stolen from USAID. The IARA, then known as the Islamic African Relief Agency, had received the funds for relief work in Mali. Questioned by the FBI in December 2005 and April 2007, Siljander lied, says the indictment, about his connections with the IARA – he told agents that he had not been hired by IARA and had simply received “donations” from them to help him write a book about Islam and Christianity.

Spencer claims that Siljander’s intentions started out good, but went sour:

And that may provide a clue as to what may have led Siljander down this path, or how he justified it to himself. In a revealing November 2007 address, Siljander described how his thought evolved, and spoke of his forthcoming book, A Deadly Misunderstanding: A Congressman’s Quest to Bridge the Muslim-Christian Divide, which was set to be published this summer. Siljander said that during his tenure in Congress (1981-1987), he was angry when the Qur’an was read during the National Prayer Breakfast. He wrote to the Breakfast’s emcee: “How can you read the book of the devil at a prayer breakfast?”

Afterward, however, he began to read the Qur’an himself, and was impressed: “I found out that Jesus was mentioned in the Quran 110 times, either directly or indirectly, and there was not a single word about Jesus that was horrible, disgraceful or, in my opinion, inconsistent with what the Bible says about him.” He explained that he had discovered “paradigm crashing” ways to harmonize Christian and Islamic beliefs on issues on which the two religions disagree, and hoped they would “create a movement, a dynamic” to bring Christians and Muslims together.

Likely excuse. I don’t buy it. I suspect the money, as always, had much more to do with this than anything else. Money is the root of all evil. Even when it comes to Islam.

There is much more at Front Page Magazine on this. Building bridges with extreme Islam isn’t possible. I question whether it’s possible to co-exist with Islam, extreme and not, at all. When we have Muslims who follow the words and fatwas of freedom hating bitter men, we have to be very careful. The Quran itself allows Muslims to kill for many reasons- it justifies jihad.

John Kerry: Swiftboating himself again

Posted by Kim on 6th November 2007

John Kerry’s words keep coming back to haunt him.

U.S. Sen. John Kerry’s comments on Monday regarding a possible future bid for the presidency, and his arming up against the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, are reopening old wounds from the Vietnam War and the 2004 presidential race.
[...]
The 63-year-old Kerry said Monday that he might run for president again, perhaps in 2012. He also said he has compiled a dossier on his critics at Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that dogged Kerry in the 2004 race.
[...]
During the 2004 campaign, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth accused Kerry of embellishing his military service to further his political career, a view that seems right to Tom Mustin of Coronada, Calif., a former Navy lieutenant commander who says he has no involvement with the Swift boat group.

“You don’t get that kind of reaction from your comrades in arms because they’re in a different political party,” said Mustin, a registered Republican. “It’s the way he tried to amplify what he did and create a war hero record for himself. That’s very offensive to me.”

Others faulted Kerry for failing to sign a waiver allowing the Navy to release his military records during the 2004 campaign.

“It was such a simple thing for him to do, he could have deflated the whole Swift boat attacks,” said Terry Baugh of San Diego, a registered Republican.

Democrat Mark Keaney of Pensacola, Fla., a retired Navy pilot commander, said: “Until Kerry releases his total military record, there can be no discussion about his past or his future.”

While Kerry ultimately did sign a waiver n in 2005, after the presidential election n the information remains available only to members of the media and not the general public, critics charge. They’d also like to see Kerry’s journal and self-made films covering his Vietnam service.

Kerry did not sign his 180 for full public review. Releasing some records to certain media outlets isn’t good enough and the fact that the media outlets are liberally biased makes a huge impression upon people. John Kerry has secrets he wants to see remain hidden, otherwise he would open his military record to all.

On Monday, Kerry said: “I have no doubt at all that some of the people involved on the other side don’t care about the truth, think nothing about distorting it, will not hesitate to say and do whatever they think is necessary to win. But I think we are now much more prepared and savvy about those kind of things, and certainly in my own involvement, I will make certain that people don’t get away with that.”

Kerry aide David Wade said Tuesday in a prepared statement: “What was true in 1969 and true in 2004 is still true today: Sen. Kerry served his country with honor, and the right wing was disgustingly wrong to smear a decorated combat veteran. An assault on one veterans’ service is an attack on all veterans.”

Ahhh but Mr. Kerry forgets now doesn’t he? Those who served with him in Vietnam do question his integrity and honor because none of them witnessed the atrocities he testified as being fact; no one remembers elements of battle where Kerry claims he received his injuries. The only thing many veterans remember were the drama filled moments when Mr. Kerry tossed those decorations. In my opinion, he is a phoney soldier if I ever saw one.

We’re still waiting by the way, John for your full disclosure of your military records, so we can judge for ourselves your honorable service.

Love and Marriage; Divorce And Money: Connections

Posted by Raven on 2nd November 2007


Material Gal

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think theyre o.k.
If they dont give me proper credit
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they cant see the light, thats right
cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always mister right, cause we are

Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world

Cotillion sister Fausta posted about relationships, men, women, marriage and divorce and all that good stuff. She pointed me to a blog where a man, Francis, has a lot to say.

It bothered me to read Francis’s thoughts because of the truth behind them. Men do get screwed over, financially, when it comes to expectations and marriage. And divorce:

Let’s not blind ourselves to the realities. At this time, the legal obligations of the marital state fall de facto on the husband. If the wife becomes dissatisfied, she can simply declare “irreconcilable differences” and haul stakes, taking any children and much of her husband’s income and savings along with her.

I’ve seen this happen.

For what it’s worth, when I got my divorce I was asked, I was begged, to take money and joint properties and belongings as part of a settlement. I refused it all. I refused alimony, any funds from the sale of the house and other things. The judge who presided over my divorce took me into his chamber to see if there was something “going on” that was making me so stubborn with my refusals. There wasn’t. I didn’t want one penny of my X’s money. I didn’t want to be dependent upon the man I no longer loved. In my mind the marriage was over and I wanted it be in all ways, OVER.

While Francis whines about the woes of single men and marriage and all the problems it creates, I read this last week with a certain amount of amusement.

According to Nicola Cairncross, a speaker on women’s finance and author of the book The Money Gym: The Ultimate Wealth Workout, the more successful a woman becomes, the harder she will find it is to meet the right man; and, she warns, the more likely it is that any relationship will founder.

Ms Cairncross, who runs seminars aimed at helping successful women cope with their wealth, says: “Sadly, the clever, attractive Alpha woman who has set her sights on an Alpha man is likely to be very disappointed.

“Alpha men come home at night after a day of competing in the boardroom and the last thing they want is to compete with an assertive wife as well.

“He wants an easy life, someone to stroke his fevered brow, and that means marrying a feminine, girly Beta woman who doesn’t have the masculine competitive traits of her Alpha sister.

“Successful women want everything just so and they have high aspirations, even in their relationships. But I have to tell them ‘You simply cannot have it all,’ and to expect that the higher they go, and the more they earn, the harder it may be to make a relationship work for them.”

I can really ask now: WHAT DO MEN WANT? A woman who is totally or even partially dependent upon him? Or a wealthy woman who calls the shots? Hmm. I smell some hypocrisy here. And it really stinks, guys.

My own personal motto that gets me through so much of this foolishness:
Money gets in the way of so many things. IT really is the root of most evils. So I avoid those who have lots of IT. And those who place too much value upon IT.

Back to the Francis:

Is she obsessed with material goods? Virtually every man knows times of hardship, whatever the reason. Would she stand by you loyally, should you experience one, or would she add to your stresses? What would her family and friends say to her in such circumstances?

I have always advised my daughters, who are of age now, to judge people on their material goods. When a person places high value on high end possessions- it’s a good sign they are very dependent on money and lots of it. This is all fine and well for most people…after all isn’t this what we work for? To be rich and have no needs in life? When people become addicted to money and all it can enable and provide, they are weak in character in my opinion.

It goes both ways too- men and women. They become slaves to their bank accounts and all the glam and glitter of material possessions. While nice to have, these things are not needed. We can live quite well without them. I choose to live without the material goods because I am a practical person who does not wish to become a material gal. No thanks. Possessions mean nothing to me. This lifestyle keeps me honest and simple. And it enables me to remain totally independent which is something I place very high value on.

I brought my daughters up to KNOW that money is not important nor necessary for happiness and contentment. Love and money do not share any common good. I brought them up to be independent and to always look out for themselves first- in every sense. When the time comes for sharing love and life, money can be shared at that time…but they must always have the ways and means to provide for themselves. To do otherwise is just stupid in todays world. Women need men who have character and honor and morals and values. Not men who worry and whine about money and divorces and all that. When we remove this “issue” from the table, things take on a different meaning.
