Time for the Republicans to wake up

10:33 am in Arlen Specter, Bi-partisan, Democrats, John McCain, Olympia Snowe by skyzot63

At long last a thorn in the side of Republicans has told the truth and switched parties. Now if we can force some of the others to do the same, I’m talkin’ about you John McCain and you Olympia Snowe. I could name a few others who would not be missed by me.

So the Republicans fall deeper in the minority status, so what? They have been rolling over and playing dead for years. Even when they held the House, Senate and the White House it seemed like the Democrats were in charge. The slightest opposition to anything they tried to do, would trigger a massive rollover in both houses, they looked like a bunch of puppies begging for a tummy rub.

They don’t know what “Bi-Partisan” means. To the Republicans it means shared ideas and responsibilities, to the Demoncrats it means, sit down, shut up and do it our way.

In that picture the Republicans lose every time, they need to wake up.

 

Senator Arlen Specter is gone

9:20 am in Arlen Specter, Conservatives, Elections, Liberals, Moderate Party by skyzot63

Specter has finally admitted that he is really a Democrat. No surprise here, he has been a thorn in the side of Republicans for years. I have trouble recalling the last time he showed any conservative values. I say good riddance. He and the Lame Stream Media are saying “He was forced out by the increasingly conservative shift of the Republican Party!”, if that were true, I would be one happy camper.

From MRC: 

Specter ‘Driven Out’ of GOP by ‘Right Wing’ and ‘Fringe of Party’

The evening newscasts on Tuesday night attributed Senator Arlen Specter’s motivation for changing parties to how he realized he wouldn’t win the Republican primary in Pennsylvania, but they also, just as they did with Senator Jim Jeffords in 2001, eagerly relayed — without any challenge — Specter’s spin that, in the words of the TV journalists, he "had been driven out by the right-wing of the Republican Party," the GOP’s "increasingly conservative tilt" and "the fringe of the party." CBS framed its story around that convenient target as the Evening News showcased Specter’s charge in its tease: "The party has shifted very far to the, to the right." Katie Couric noted that Specter "acknowledged he cannot win the Republican primary, so he’s becoming a Democrat. But as Chip Reid reports, Specter says there were other reasons behind the switch." Setting up the same Specter soundbite as in the tease, Reid reported the "moderate" Specter "says he’s leaving the Republican party because the Republican party left him." Reid bolstered Specter’s concern by asserting "200,000 Pennsylvania Republicans have registered as Democrats in just the past year. Specter blames the party’s increasingly conservative tilt." Specter exclaimed: "There ought to be a rebellion. There ought to be an uprising."

200,000 Pennsylvania Republicans have registered as Democrats in just the past year. Well, how many voted Demoncrat in the general election? In 2008 I changed my affiliation to Demoncrat to vote against 0bama in the primary, fat lot of good that did. I did not vote for even one Demoncrat in the general election, except for McCain. I only voted for him because of Sarah Palin. I don’t think I was the only one. McCain was a terrible candidate.

I would like to see the Republican party to clean the grease trap, so to speak. Force anyone out of the party who is not conservative. I know that sounds crazy, there would not be many Republicans left in Washington. I don’t see that as a very bad thing. It is time to clean house if the Republican party ever wants to be anything but Democrat Lite.

More from MRC:

On NBC, Kelly O’Donnell described how "he would be facing a much more conservative challenger" in the primary and "couldn’t risk" losing, before she related Specter’s rationalization "that voters who tend to turn out in the primaries tend to be on the fringe of the party, not a moderate Republican like he is." ABC’s Jonathan Karl highlighted how "Specter said he had been driven out by the right-wing of the Republican Party."Then viewers were treated to Specter scolding conservatives: "They don’t make any bones about their willingness to lose the general election if they can purify the party. There ought to be a rebellion. There ought to be an uprising."

I think it is time to stop the Tax Dollar sponsored primaries, if a party wants to have a primary, pay for it yourself. The third parties do that now. Do away with this Dem, Rep crap. Let’s have a Conservative party a Liberal (Socialist, Communist, Fascist), Party and a Moderate party. Now I realize that the Democrat Party is already there.

With a moderate party, any politician or citizen who is neither left or right would have a place to go. This strangle hold on elections by the Dems and Reps needs to end. We need new blood in Washington and in government in general. Don’t ban any third party candidate from debates. Have them in a football stadium if necessary. I would also not mind seeing a fist fight or two in the debates.

For now though, I just want to see the Republicans boot politicians like McCain, Snowe, Scwatzeknennedy and several others out on their asses. Take no prisoners, the GOP will be in the minority for a long time, but it takes time to rebuild, find some good candidates for us to elect.

 

Pubbies, Pay Attention

9:26 am in Chris Matthews, Demoncrats, Gitmo, Liberals, Media, Military, MSNBC, National, Nearly Nobody's News, NewsBusters, Obama, Politics, Republicans, Terrorists by skyzot63

President Zero is taking this country down the road to destruction, sucking up to our enemies, dismantling our national defense, cutting military funding, eliminating valuable interrogation techniques. I wait each day to see what stupid move he will make next.

That renowned, (in his own mind), CHRIS MATTHEWS expert on torture, IE: Waterboarding, sleep depravation, fear of dogs, wants President Bush and VP Cheney prosecuted, From NewsBusters

Matthews Demands: How Do We Prosecute Bush and Cheney?

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well if it turns out that those who drew the lines and said it was okay to use waterboarding and other coercive techniques, violated the law, and those people who did so include the Vice President and the President what do we do? You say we might consider prosecuting them. But how do we do it? Under what law do we go after them? Under international law? Under U.S. law what do we hit ‘em for? If we do it?

REP. DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: Well I think we need not to get ahead of ourselves Chris. I think we need to make sure that we are examining where, certainly the buck tops with the President and the Vice President. But did they, the question is did they specifically issue those orders or were they more general? I mean I think we’re, we’re, we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves before we start talking about prosecuting the President and the Vice President. But we certainly need to examine who, and how and why the individuals in the Department of Justice ordered CIA interrogators to torture detainees that, that were detained after, after, after 9/11.

MATTHEWS: But in principle you have no problem with us looking at the whole potential criminality of the behavior of anyone here, in this regard?

SCHULTZ: There is no one that is above the law in the United States of America.

MATTHEWS: Okay thank you very much, U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida.

Better be careful what you wish for Chrissie. If this goes forward and Republicans are paying attention, next time the balance of power swings back to the Pubbies, there may not be the free passes the Clinton administration received. prosecutions can go both directions. How about a picture of 0bama, Pelosi, Biden, Franks, Dodd and a very long list of Dems in adjoining cells. I can live and.  look forward to that. I have an idea, let’s toss in a whole bunch of RINOS to keep them company.

Of course if Matthews really wanted to pursue all of those who approved of waterboarding that list would also have to include House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. According to a December 9, 2007 Washington Post story Pelosi along with other Democrats, in September 2002, were given "a virtual tour" of the "CIA’s overseas detention sites," shown interrogation techniques, including waterboarding, "But on that day, no objections were raised."

So Pelosi and the other Dems made no objection. For good reason also Chrissie, It’s not Fuckin’ torture.

Mr. Matthews I invite you to join me at one of my other blogs, Stinger’s Cave, I will be glad to educate you on what constitutes torture. Ask Jack Bauru about torture, if it takes a nine mil through a knee cap to prevent a bomb from going off or an assignation attempt being carried out, so be it.

If it does not end up in the death of the person being interrogated, I have a real problem calling it abusive torture when you are trying to protect lives.

Compare waterboarding to what the Islamists consider proper interrogation techniques, I don’t consider sawing someone’s head off for fun to be proper techniques.

Back to you Chrissie, with a pair of pliers, a blow torch, a ten inch piece of wire and a small flat bladed screw driver, within fifteen minutes I will know every thing you have ever known. Every dirty little thing you have ever done, wanted to do or thought about doing.

When we are finished with our conversation, you will be able to walk out of the cave on your own power, and I will have things to write about for years, and guess what, I wont use even one of those terrible things, waterboarding, sleep depravation or fear of dogs, that you are so sure are illegal.

 

Montemayor: Red hot chili peppers

Time for something for fun and explains a lot about my life

By Stephen Montemayor

Published on Wed., April 22nd, 2009

The first time I thought I might have a problem was in August 2007 when, my body enveloped in sweat and vision clouded by white, I curled up on my best friend’s girlfriend’s bathroom floor, face pressed against the vent in a desperate attempt for air.

I would later learn that the container’s label advises against using more than a drop of the solution, but not before dousing my plate in at least one to two teaspoons of Chili Addict’s Revenge sauce. My chili addiction had soared to such heights that the warning label likely wouldn’t have halted my intentions anyway.

Photo by James Farmer

Actually, addiction is not the proper term for my affliction — a December Economist article said it was at most a craving — but it is hereditary. As far back as my memory can take me, I can recall my dad dropping habanero peppers into pots of chili or dousing burritos and pork rinds with fiery red sauces. Son would mirror father over the years, as I’d dabble in the intoxicating delights. A Blazin’ Buffalo Wild Wing here, some Tabasco there. But I really started using in high school and have no intentions to stop, only to go a little further and faster.

It feels good to type that sentence, great to reread it and even better to say aloud. See, chili peppers make food simply taste better — helpful for students able to afford only less-than-delectable eats — and also provide an adrenaline kick and an authentic natural high. Drugs are bad, m’kay, and alcohol treats you well one minute and hits you in the gut the next, but capsaicin allows you to let go of the steering wheel (figuratively) whether you’re in public or at home. Capsaicin is the substance found in chili peppers as well as in pepper spray — only one of which is advisable to ingest (your call.) It is responsible for the sweat, tears and elevated heart rates one encounters when consuming chilies. And it also gets you high, quite a few steps above runner’s high and minus the jail sentence of LSD High.

It also seems, through the passage of time, that our generation has acquired a higher tolerance of capsaicin. With chilies in chocolates, jellies, soy sauce and just about every aisle of the grocery store, far more products are kicked up a notch than in any point of history. This explains the dually delicious and dangerous cocktail my buddy’s mom deemed “The Devil’s Spit.” It involves silver tequila, ice, half a lime and half a jalapeno. It can also involve either bragging rights and respect from your pals or the worst day of your life afterward.

In a way, our higher tolerance for these delicacies provides hope that this tolerance is spreading to other arenas: race, sex, class and others. As one generation begets another, previous reservations sometimes lose their luster or even dissipate. And although jalapeno toothpaste or habanero contact solution is not yet a reality, I can indeed tell you I have been to the mountaintop and I have seen it.

Janet Napolitano is a loser

This woman is so clueless

DHS Chief Napolitano: Illegal Immigration Is Not a Crime

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 11:26 AM

By: Jim Meyers

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano stunned many listeners during an appearance on CNN when she asserted that illegal immigration is really not a crime.

In an interview with CNN’s John King last week, Napolitano discussed Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., a strict enforcer of immigration laws who says he wants illegal aliens to be prosecuted and jailed.

King said: “A lot of Democrats in Congress want you to investigate him. They think he is over the line. He says he is just enforcing the law and the problem is the federal government.”

Napolitano responded: “Sheriff Joe … knows that there aren’t enough law enforcement officers, courtrooms or jail cells in the world to do what he is saying.

She could learn a lot from Sheriff Joe. 0bama is an empty suit and the people he appointed to his administration were the absolute worst choices. It makes me want to fly to Washington and hand each and every one of them a copy of the Constitution and tell them to sit the fuck down and read it.

Janet here is the response to your stupid comment about the legality of border crossings:

The fact is, crossing the border without authorization is a crime. The statute reads: “Any alien who enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers . . . shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both.”

My only objection tro title 18 is it makes it a misdemeanor and I think it should be a felony, then enforce the three strike laws and put them in prison for life on the third strike. Let’s see how many want to take that chance.

 

Flap over “TORTURE”

9:46 am in Gitmo, Terrorists, Torture by skyzot63

The left is all in a quiver over the possible prosecution of Bush officials for the “TORTURE” tactics at Gitmo. 0bama released interrogation memos from the Bush White House. He did not release the ones that proves that the interrogations worked. Just one sample that worked:

Under questioning, using interrogation techniques, Abu Zubayah  gave up Ramzi Bin al Shibh and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Under interrogation Ramzi Bin al Shibh also gave up Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The tactics involved the horrible waterboarding and other things like sleep deprivation. These are being called “Harsh methods”. Hire me to work with the interrogators, Give me a pair of water pump pliers, a blowtorch and a small flat blade screwdriver. Within ten minutes you will know everything the terrorist knows, even how many times he wet the bed when he was a kid. No killing needed, by the end of the session he will be begging you to kill him.

This proves that these leftists have absolutely no concept of what real torture is. We are dealing with people who get a Chris Mathews tingle up their leg when they saw off someone’s head with a dull knife. They are sub-human savages.

This practice by the 0bama administration will result in less captives. Why take them prisoner if you can’t learn anything from them? It will result in hunt them down and kill them. Now I have no problem with that, if they are dead they can’t kill anyone else. This is a war, I am afraid 0bama and his minions will forget that fact. In my book the Koombayah Administration is going to put us in great danger.

They are trying to decide where to take the terrorists  being held in Gitmo when they close it. May I suggest that two at a time they be treated to a chopper ride about two hundred mile out to sea and let them go for a swim with a fifty five gallon drum of pig parts and blood spread around the vicinity. When finished Gitmo can be converted into a luxury resort, possibly for vets coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. They have gourmet kitchens and air conditioned buildings which could easily be converted to lavish suites.

Herman Cain at Las Vegas Tea Party

12:13 pm in Freedom, Herman Cain, Las Vegas, Taxes, Tea Parties by skyzot63

He is great and I thought CNN, MSNBC and Jaqneane Garafolo said there were only white people at the TEA Parties. Herman Cain can teach them all something, that would be fear. The politicians and the liberal media had better start to fear us. Someone famous once said that “The people should not fear government, government should fear the people”. Sit back, watch and enjoy a patriot and Great American as he speaks at the Las Vegas TEA Party.

What a piece of work

10:59 am in Attack Bitch, Brent Bozell, Janeane Garefalo, Keith Olbermann, MSNBC, Tea Parties by skyzot63

Left-wing activist/actress and very unfunny comedian Janeane Garofalo, now starring on Fox’s ’24, Now acting as a female attack dog, henceforth known as Attack Bitch. I have never seen so much hate coming out of the mouth of anyone, except possibly Keith Olbermann. Hey Attack Bitch, TEA party stands for TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY but then you would not know that since you have never read a history book. The tea bags are symbolic.  You pretend to know so much about history but you are usually wrong just like the ignorant fuck sitting next to you.

Egged on by Keith Olbermann on MSNBC’s Countdown denigrating those who attended the Wednesday tea parties as racists and denigrating the brain power of anyone who watches the Fox News Channel. "This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism, straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of tea-bagging rednecks. And there is no way around that," she scurrilously charged. After comparing conservatives to "white power activists," she continued: "This is about racism. It could be any issue, any port in a storm. These guys hate that a black guy is in the White House."

No Attack Bitch we resent having a Fascist in the White House. He wants the same type of government as his good buddy Hugo.

MRC/NB’s Bozell Reacts to Garofalo Calling Tea Party-goers ‘Tea-bagging Rednecks’

Janeane Garofalo embodies "the dark, the very ugly underbelly of the American Left today" which "is on display for anyone to see," Media Research Center President and NewsBusters Publisher Brent Bozell told viewers of Sunday, April 19 edition of "Fox & Friends Weekend."

"This is about hating a black man. This is racism straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of tea-bagging rednecks," the liberal comedian and actress told Keith Olbermann on his Thursday, April 16 edition of "Countdown."

"What gets me [is that] no one on the Left has denounced this woman. No one denounces these people when they go off the deep end like this. This is the dark, ugly underside of the Left today," Bozell added.

The segment — which aired at 9:15 a.m. EDT — began with co-host Alisyn Camerota noting the folly of competitor networks dismissively scoffing the massive protests:

ALISYN CAMEROTA, co-host: The other cable channels, as well as some of the mainstream media really pooh-poohed these tea parties, but when tens of thousands of people turn out on the same day for a grassroots effort, isn’t that a legitimate news story?

BRENT BOZELL, MRC president:  Alisyn, let me correct you on a couple of things, gently. Number one, it’s not tens of thousands, it’s hundreds of thousands. Number two, it goes to prove there’s nothing mainstream about this kind of media. I’d have never seen anything like it in my life. It wasn’t that they ignored these hundreds of thousands of demonstrators, it was that they attacked them…

It truly was hundreds of thousands of people this time, next time will be much, much bigger.
