Former Detroit Free Press Politics Forum

This one is populated by a few lucid Conservatives who find themselves in the minority, opposed by some of the most noxious and nefarious nimrods ever to call themselves "Democrat".

Pay no attention to that funny glow....

During the blogsurf, I found this little piece over at the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler.

I had to read it twice, just to make sure that I was actually seeing it correctly.

"French President Jacques Chirac said decades of controversial nuclear tests in the South Pacific did not give islanders cancer, as hundreds of former test site workers and relatives protested in the capital."

So let me get this clear.... this same asshat is in the group screaming about how the US military's DU rounds are causing cancer in Iraq, but setting off 193 nuclear weapons is just fine and dandy? Am I reading this correctly?

"There are no health consequences, either in the short-term or long-term," he (Chirac) told daily newspaper Les Nouvelles de Tahiti in an interview published on Friday, adding the IAEA experts had concluded detailed radiation surveys were not needed.

I. Am. Almost. Speechless.

I say almost, because my boss just walked in and told me that my cussing was creating a blue cloud that was fogging up the building. This slimy, lying, worthless, hipocritical, spineless, corrupt, two-faced, dictator-felching, money grabbing, communist appeasing, bloviating, walking pile of shit deserves to have every joint in his body broken with a baseball bat. I want to be wielding said bat. This overblown waste of skin has shown himself ONCE AGAIN to be nothing but a runty parasite clinging to the anus of humanity, and in desperate need of a flushing. Are there any depths to which this choad-sucking worm won't lower himself? Just so we're clear on why this oxygen theif needs to be removed from the gene pool in a permanant fashion:

He blocked all US attempts to deal with Iraq in the UN.
Negotiated the sale of a nuclear reactor to Saddam in the 80's.
Sold Iraq weapons and supplies in violation of the UN sanctions he claimed to support.
May have given members of the Baa'thist regiem EU passports during Gulf War 2. (still unsubstantiated)
Presided over one of the most virulent Anti-American french governments in modern times.

I'm not even going to get into the TotalFinaElf scandal, (with ties to Canada's own Cretin) and I won't mention his preference for a genocidal dictator (Mugabe), or the way his country accepts the most repulsive vermin known to man (You raped a 14 year old girl? Welcome to Paris, friend!). I won't get into how 1/3 of the french population was rooting for Saddam. I won't get into the socialist/economic hellhole that this leech on humanity has put france into. I won't mention his treatment of the former Eastern Bloc countries ("They missed a good opportunity to shut up", is it Jaq?) or how this country of surrender monkeys wields it's power in the EU as a club to bend other countries to france's will. I won't mention how this blathering fuckwit calls America an "imperialist power" while maintaining control over it's colonies in the South Pacific.

But I will say this: It's time for someone to put this half-rate country back into it's place as the global whipping boy. France is a joke. A very old, very bad joke. And it needs to be treated as such.

(Yes, I know the name is spelled "Chretien", but "Cretin" fits to a tee. You elected him up there, now you deal with it.)

The New York Times: At It Again

The Times sez: "The SEC said most of the money would go to victims of Enron's collapse amid allegations of massive accounting irregularities -- the first in a string of scandals that have tainted corporate America since 2001."

Since 2001?

Enron Fraud started in 1998, of course: http://www.enronfraud.com/

ALL OF THE FRAUD DISCOVERED DURING THIS BUSH ADMINISTRATION BEGAN DURING THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION. All of it. Of course, the Times would be loathe to concede that much of Clinton's "Eight Years of Prosperity" was steeped in fraud and deceit.

Clinton, Fraud, and Deceit.

Go figure.

Here's the Times piece: Banks Settle With S.E.C. for Roles in Enron's Fraud

QUARANTINE THEM!

It is working for SARS...

"The number of gay and bisexual men diagnosed with HIV , the virus that causes AIDS, climbed for the third consecutive year in the United States in 2002, fueling fears that the disease might be poised for a major comeback in this high-risk group."

HIV Cases Climb Among Gay, Bisexual Men in U.S.

Be careful what you wish for....

"The people of Puerto Rico are facing some unanticipated consequences from a victory they won in 2001.

"For several years, Puerto Rican protesters demanded that the U.S. Navy leave the island of Vieques (search). Groups staged violent protests outside the main gate of 'Camp Garcia,' saying they were sick and tired of the live-fire bombing exercises.

"The violence resulted in the gates of the base being torn down. Several U.S. troops and police dogs were injured in the demonstrations.

"In response to the years of protest, former President Clinton agreed to stop Navy exercises there. Congress and President Bush ratified the deal and live-fire exercises were halted last May. But with its mission muzzled after 60 years, the Navy has decided to pull out of Puerto Rico completely.
That means the largest employer on the island, the Roosevelt Roads Naval Station, is now slated for closure that could come as early as October."

While on the Daily Blog Rounds

I found something at Obnoxious Fumes, an interesting blog by someone who actually sounds as pissed off as me. It seems that the Dimmy Donk nine haven't been doing their jobs, while they bitch and moan about the President.

The job of an elected official is, in part, to vote on legislation put before them. The job of a political candidate is, in part, to campaign so as to meet as many people as possible. Therein lies the conflict. Several Democrat presidential candidates have missed a significant number of votes on Capitol Hill, including important votes dealing with Iraq, while campaigning for the White House and attacking President George W. Bush for his handling of the Iraq conflict.

(....)

So far it's the same old news. But it gets better, once you see the numbers.

Congressional Quarterly has been tracking votes in both the House of Representatives and the Senate during this session. There have been 397 votes cast in the 108th session in the House and 290 votes cast in the Senate. So far, Gephardt has missed 356 (90%) House votes.

He missed 90% of the frigging votes?!?!?! And yet he thinks he has the right to bitch about government policy? "I stand against this bill on the strongest terms!" Well then, you voted against it, right? "Um, well, I stand against this bill on the strongest terms!" Right. WHY THE HELL ARE WE PAYING THIS BUTTNUGGET?

Kerry and his fellow White House hopefuls have been pressing hard against the Bush administration on Iraq and the war on terror. Kerry, however, missed votes this year that dealt with Iraq's reconstruction and the Iraqi Intelligence Commission. In total, Kerry has missed 52 percent of the votes cast in the Senate this year

So he had a chance to say something, but didn't do a damn thing! Now he just bitches at the president. Hey, great leadership there, you worthless non-working partisan puke! Maybe just once you could take time out of your busy schedual from raping the unsuspecting taxpayer with a sandpaper condom and DO YOUR FRIGGING JOB!

Most of the others among the Democrat field have also missed votes this year. Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) has missed 115 votes as of Monday. Sen. Bob Graham (D-FL), who announced his candidacy in May, has missed 72 votes. Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) has missed 20 percent of the votes cast this year.

I guess it would be too much to expect these walking wastes of oxygen to actually work for a living, but when they can't even be bothered to cast votes on policies and bills that decide the fate of our nation, they've stopped being just annoying poster children for retro-active abortion and gone to blood-sucking parasites that simply need to be eradicated. Preferably with a 12 guage shotgun.

And who is the only one of the Loony Left Nine to actually show up to work? Dennis Kucinich. Quite possibly the farthest left of the bunch. It really makes you wonder just how the Donks plan on running the country, doesn't it?

Quotes Needed

The folks over at Random Nuclear Strikes have come up with a contest/research project/curiosity that might be of some interest. For years now, we've heard the Left scream about how "hatefull" and "full of rage" we on the Right are. (Well, I am full of rage, but not because of MY politics) Here's what they want. They want a list of documentable quotes, from both the Left and the Right, of derogitory statements. The statements MUST HAVE documentation, otherwise they don't count.

Let's see if we can get this thing going, because I'm interested in the results!

Update: The link is fixed now. My apologies.

This is truly sick. It is beyond description. You must read it for yourself to get the unavoidable chilling sense of what would still be going on today if the Dems had their way. What's most amazing is that the mainstream press never ever covers the manifest implications for Iraqis and human decency had the anti-Bush feckless Dems won the Iraq war debate.

Times Online: "He was also involved in barbarous “pyramid” executions in which the victims were split down the middle. Using a special vice to hold the head, a swordsman split victims as they kneeled; another executioner carved the body into two, like a slaughterman in an abattoir. "

This simple sentence explains the phenomenon of the media's biased and bloodthirsty coverage of not only Iraq but just about any conflict where a modern-day democrat's ass is not on the line:

"Because shipwrecks make news, headlines about sinking ships are not a reliable measure of maritime safety. "

I love that sentence. It falls into what I call: WDIST (Why Didn't I Say That?)

Read the whole op-ed, it's pretty good.

The New French, same as the Old French

The new French, same as the old French

Through several different people, such as Lee from Right Thinking, come a list of 112 Gripes about the French. The kicker? It was written in 1945. Nice to see things haven't changed much. We should have let the Germans keep that country.

I could go on a French bashing spree, but I'll just let you read the list.

Charles Krauthammer explains how much the Middle East region has improved since 9/11 thanks to the determination of W. It is this determination that the Democrats want to destroy. The future safety of America depends upon taming the flames that smolder in the Middle East by helping the forces of freedom shed the shackles of tyranny (As we did in Iraq with no help from the Democratic Party).

The caveat, as Krauthammer says, is that "it all hinges on success in Iraq. On America's not being driven out of Iraq the way it was driven out of Lebanon and Somalia -- which is what every terrorist and every terrorist state wants to see happen. And with everything at stake, what is the left doing? Everything it can to undermine the enterprise. By implying both that it was launched fraudulently (see yellowcake) and, alternately, that it has ensnared us in a hopeless quagmire."

Oftentimes, the spoiled brats on the left, just make you laugh. Lefty George Gedda over at the AP actually wrote an article that the deaths of Odai and Qusay were in violation of the executive order ban on political assassination, a law the Bush administration has chosen to not enforce. Is this all they can come up with? Even the wackos on the left who are elected are pushing this. Rep Charles Rangel said so on Hannity & Colmes last night. Who votes for these jackasses?

Somehow I doubt any serious person in America was blaming the allies for Hitler's suicide. If the Left's complaining about the killing of these two murderous rapists does not show you how decayed and addled a good 35% of America has become, I do not know what will. That sane people vote to have these degenerates run our country is simply stunning.

If you want a good legal analysis of Rangel and Gedda's assertion check out The Volokh Conspiracy.

Does anyone remember the vice presidential debate in 2000 when VP Cheney made Joe Lieberman look like a tongue-twisted pig-tailed school girl? Here Lieberman had the advantage of running off of a record that included record prosperity and relative peace, but Cheney made what the left-wing mainstream press calls, "the conscious of the Senate" look like a child. I remember being very impressed and energized as Cheney articulated the argument against liberalism like no one had done for years.

Well, the word is that Cheney is giving a speech tomorrow where he will respond to all the irresponsible Jackals criticizing Bush and the defense of America's strategic interests. I hope this is the case as the administration has waited far too long to respond to the lies coming from the jihadists on the Left. If Cheney will respond on Thursday, two things are certain:

1. He will expose the whining Democrats who disparage Bush and the war for the mindless, politically obsessed irresponsible hacks that they are; and

2. The mainstream press will barely cover the substance of his speech.

If I can catch his speech, I will respond soon afterward.

The mind of a progressive

This has probably been blogged to death, but it's still got me so pissed off that I can't see strait.

For those who don't know, there are a few Berkleyites who felt the urge to try to find out what made a person conservative.

Now, let's try to forget the slant and bias of two uber-liberals from Berkley trying to point out what makes one conservative. Let's try to overlook the waste of money on a study that does absolutely nothing. And let's try to accept the fact that these two "academics" have probably never met a conservative in their soft, cushy, non-working lives. Let's check out the points that they THINK make someone conservative.

1) Fear and aggression
2) Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity
3) Uncertainty avoidance
4) Need for cognitive closure
5) Terror management


Well, to say the least, all the liberals are in one big self-congradulatory circle jerk, nodding their heads and saying "Mmm-hmmm, I knew it all along!" While the anger that this display of arrogance, condesention, and outright idiocy has made a good portion of the country spitting mad. However, there was someone who could put it into words much better than me. The Imperial Paladin. And he came out with a few points of his own, on what makes a person liberal.

1) Hatred of the United States of America
2) Complete support for the "Palestinian Arab" point of view
3) Belief in suicide bombing as a legitimate means of political self-expression
4) Inability to make an actual decision on what is good or bad
5) Appreciation of the terrorist point of view on 9/11
6) Hatred of anyone from the West who expresses a desire of self-defense

And this is only the tip of the iceberg. Now I ask you, after watching the protests of the past year, and looking at the people rioting and screaming and acting like loons.....

Can you say that he's wrong?

I want to take an opportunity to compliment the individuals that contribute to this blog. The struggle for accuracy in information undertaken by my fellow right-wing-wackos has resulted in some excellent contributions. I appreciate the opportunity to join you in this endeavor.


David recently posted some stuff I want to emphasize. First, he makes a very astute observation regarding our liberal opponents incessant claim that President Bush told the nation that Saddam was an immenent threat. It is entirely baseless. The President never made the claim. Rather he made it perfectly clear that we should not allow the situation to develope into one where Saddam could pose an "immenent threat". Take the opportunity to challenge the next liberal you catch perputating this lie, to cite one time "the President told us that Saddam was an immenent threat". As I said, David already covered this. I just felt it deserved a little more daylight.

The other topic David mentions (and I wish to add to) in the same post, is the DNC ad assailing G.W.'s SOTU address comment: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."........Oh but wait. The DNC ad plays a clip of that statement......not the whole statement. NO. The clip begins with the word "Saddam". Why wouldn't they play a video clip of the entire sentence from beginning to end? It was done to intentionally mislead the audience to believe that the President had made a statement of fact unsupported by any other source than the one that has come under scrutiny. They don't want to remind you that Tony Blair still stands by that statement. Michael Moore-on would be proud. Perhaps he even helped to craft this nugget of liberal subterfuge. ;) And of course Terry McAuliffe must be pleased that CNN’s Woodruff Fails to Point Out Distortion in the DNC Ad She Plays. This is yet another example of the morally vacuous tactics liberals use to dupe those who are as yet oblivious to their nature and their methods. It is our responsibilty to use the examples they provide us to educate those that will listen. Do not allow yourselves to depreciate the effectiveness of these tactics. Recognize them and swiftly confront anyone who perpetuates them with the truth!

The Valiant Elephant

If Republicans in the largest state in the Union tried something like this, it would be all over the mainstream press. Let's see if this is even covered.
Yahoo! News - Open Mic Catches California Democrats: "Unaware that a live microphone was broadcasting their words around the Capitol, Assembly Democrats meeting behind closed doors debated prolonging California's budget crisis for political gain. "

Talk about good news:

Let D.C. Try Vouchers (washingtonpost.com): "We all know D.C. public schools need improvement. According to the most recent census, the District spends $10,852 per student annually -- the third highest level of per-pupil spending in the nation -- yet test scores lag far behind. In the most recent math and reading assessments administered by the National Assessment of Educational Progress:
• Seventy-six percent of D.C. fourth-graders performed below grade level in math, and only 10 percent read proficiently.
• Seventy-seven percent of eighth-graders performed below grade level in math, and only 12 percent were proficient in reading.
Based on the substantial amount of money pumped into the schools and the resultant test scores, I do not believe that money alone is going to solve the problem. This is why I believe the District should be allowed to try this pilot -- particularly for the sake of its low-income students."

This is the first crack in the damn of the unholy alliance between the teachers' unions and the Democratic Party which has worked to imprison poor children in one of the most anti-consumer monopolies: government schools. Someday, the simple notion of competition will free the poor who actually want to succeed from a decadent public school system that in many places has been destroyed by left-wing social engineering and teacher union inspired job protectionism.

Dianne Feinstein deserves some credit for breaking away from the teachers' lobby and the liberal establishment. She finally recognizes what many of us realized long ago, that the problems in public education cannot be solved by money because they are systemic and go to the heart of leftist teachers' union racket that has damaged the public school system since, at least, the 1960s.

MY WORDS TO THE ANTI-BUSH NAYSAYERS ON THE LEFT: YOU LOSE, PATHETIC REPROBATES!

The news that Qusai and Odai Hussein have been killed in a raid by Special Forces and the 101st Airborne is not only great news for Americans, the troops, and Iraqis, but it is terrible news for the Democrats who have been whining about the war and relying on American failure and death for their political success.

I wonder if the loony Jackals on the Left will claim that these two butchers were killed on false pretenses when they make their next mad rush to the cameras.

Here is just a little information about Odai and Qusay Hussein:

"Iraqi exiles say Odai murdered at will and tortured with zeal, and routinely ordered his guards to snatch young women off the street so he could rape them. The London-based human-rights group Indict said Odai ordered prisoners to be dropped into acid baths as punishment."

"Qusai also oversaw Iraq's notorious detention centers and is believed to have initiated "prison cleansing" — a means of relieving severe overcrowding in jails with arbitrary killings. Citing testimony from former Iraqi intelligence officers and other state employees, New York-based Human Rights Watch said several thousand inmates were executed at Iraq's prisons over the past several years."

The troops deserve a lot of our gratitude for doing a great job. The least we can do is fight back against those forces back home who demoralize them in an attempt to destroy our country's will and President Bush.

If you anti-Bush, anti-war left wingers had your way, these two sickos would still be raping women, torturing Iraqis, and dropping innocents into acid baths. You should be ashamed of yourselves for carping and making disingenuous claims about the causes for this war. Your ideas are not only dangerous for Iraqis, but Americans as well.

Due to a lack of time this morning, I will provide the links for a few posts on Andrew Sullivan's blog that are as clear and reasoned as you can find.

Here is Andrew's response to the BUSH LIED!!!!! lobbyists.

In this one, Sullivan provides some evidence he has found that points to what most of us already know, that the mainstream media's depiction of what is going on in Iraq leans heavily toward the foreboding and less toward the truth.

Navy to Puerto Rico: Bye bye!

Remember all the screaming and fussing over the Navy's bombing range in PR? Well the Lefties won that battle. No more bombing. Yay. Until the brain-dead twits were reminded of one cold hard fact.

If you take away the purpose of a military installation, the military will leave, since they have no reason to stay.

Here's a few choice quotes:

Rep. Serrano, (D) NY - "I think it's punishment" for the protests, Mr. Serrano said. "We are being punished for winning an issue against the federal government. The Navy said, 'Oh yeah. We're going to fix you. We're going to close the base.' "

Acevedo-Vila spokesman Paul Weiss would not disclose what kind of aid will be sought for Puerto Rico, and still held out hope the Navy would reconsider "rushing away from such a strategic location."

Idiots. No, scratch that, these wastes of oxygen are so sand-poundingly idiotic and ignorant that I'm struggling to find ways to describe them without cussing a blue streak that would make a sailor blush! What the hell do you mean "rushing away from a strategic location"? YOU'VE MADE IT SO IT WASN'T STRATEGIC ANY MORE, YOU BLOVIATING ASSHAT! How much longer are we going to suffer a group of politicians who are so blindly ignorant to what the military needs and does? How much longer are we going to suffer the blunderings of elected idiots who can't even connect the dots? How much longer will we suffer the fools who cannot understand actions and their consequences? If you were to gather the total IQ of the Donks who were screaming about the Navy's eeeeeeeeeeevil bombing range, you wouldn't have brain power enough to tie your own shoes! People like Rep. Serrano have the mental capacity of a rutabega for thinking that we're going to spend HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep a base open when we cannot use it for any real reason! If these representatives are any real indication of the people who elected them, then we need to cut off that section of the country and let it die, because these jerks are too stupid to be allowed to steal my oxygen!

Let me spell this out in very plain terms, for all those people screeching because of this base closure.

The single reason for that base being there was to support the bombing training range. When you removed the reason for that base, the USA no longer needed to keep troops there. Therefore, the base is being closed. It. Is. That. Simple.

(hat tip to RNS)

As an aside to the people of Puerto Rico: Either shit or get off the pot. Become a state, or become your own country. One or the other, please, but you've become too accustomed to the USA giving you everything you want, without having to pay for it.
