I'm not a Newt Gingrich fan

In fact, he's part of the GOP that started it's downturn, after a brilliant take-over. But at least he's calling out Sotomayor for her racist statements.

I wonder - will the GOP actually find a backbone, or are they just going to roll over and be limp jellyfish as seems to be their standard operating procedure?

Ahem

Obama and his fucking goon squad never waste an opportunity to tell people who's in charge, do they?

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs issued a pointed warning to opponents of Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s Supreme Court nomination Wednesday, urging critics to measure their words carefully during a politically charged confirmation debate.

Anyone remember the absolute shit-flinging festival the traitorous Democrat American Communist Party had with Alito and Roberts?

Yeah. So fuck them. Fuck them sideways, fuck them up a tree, fuck them with a chainsaw, fuck the fucking fuckers. Every damned Republican Stupid Party member needs to vote against Sotomayor, at least for the fact that she's a far-left, racist loony bitch. But even if she was a middle-of-the-road nominee, they should STILL vote against her just to remind the damned Democrat American Communist Party assholes that some people haven't forgotten the way they treated Alito, or Roberts, or any Republican nominated judge since Robert Bork.

UPDATE: For anyone who wants to come in and say "But Dave, you can't just call her a racist like that!".......

In addition to her work on the bench, Judge Sotomayor is an adjunct professor at New York University School of Law and a lecturer-in-law at Columbia Law School. She is a member of the American Bar Association, the New York Women’s Bar Association, the Puerto Rican Bar Association, the Hispanic National Bar Association, the Association of Judges of Hispanic Heritage, and the National Council of La Raza. She has received many honors including, most recently, an award from the National Association of Women Lawyers.

The National Council of La Raza. The Race. Who's motto is "Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada" (“For the race everything, outside the race nothing”). Now this gives me two options here; either she's a racist bitch, or she's so stupid and ignorant that she would become a member of a racist organization even though she doesn't share those racist views, in which case her judgement should rightly be called into question. So it's either racist or mind-numbingly stupid. That ain't good.

Grrrrrrr.....

After spending *mumblemumble* dollars to get my truck fixed, it's back in the shop after stalling out on me while I was headed off to get a haircut. It's been hard to start, and now has problems while driving. Much bad juju.

This kind of crap just drives me nuts. I was never a mechanical genius, and with newer engines I'm really screwed. I don't know why the truck is having problems. Hell, the mechanics probably don't know.

Dammit.

What really sucks is that it's raining, which means I have to steal the wife's car instead of riding my motorcycle.

Well, I wish I could say that I don't believe it

But I do.

Critical Updates Below: Red State, American Thinker, Joey Smith and Reliapundit provide anecdotal and quantitative evidence that would appear to confirm a decided bias against dealers who donated to GOP causes or to anti-Obama Democrats.

Special note for moonbats: no one here is saying that the sole criterion for closing a dealership was partisanship. What we ask is: does it seem odd that the list of closed dealerships appears to have contributed a grand total of $200 to Barack Obama and millions to GOP candidates/causes?

Quote from an attorney who Deposed Chrysler's president last week: "It became clear to us that Chrysler does not see the wisdom of terminating 25 percent of its dealers... It really wasn't Chrysler's decision. They are under enormous pressure from the President's automotive task force."

Stay tuned. Data crunching is underway.

Yep. Government control of the auto industry means that the government can control who stays in business and who doesn't. And don't tell me Obama wouldn't do it. He'll do anything he wants and get away with it because Congress is nothing more than a rubber stamp for his actions.

Armed insurrection sounds better every single day.

I found this little essay

Via BabyTrollBlog, and it's well worth reading if you want to understand why and how America has fallen.

While conservatives have been working to improve our democracy and our free-market economy, liberals have been working to replace our democracy with a dictatorship, and our free-market economy with a command economy controlled by the government. The liberals couldn't say this aloud, because if they did the American people would have tossed them out of office on their ears. So the liberals worked covertly, feigning support for democracy and for the free market while working diligently to undermine both.

This is why our politics has been so partisan, so vicious, and so deadlocked. This is why words have lost their meaning in Washington, why we can never get to the bottom of anything, why we lurch from one manufactured scandal to another. It's all been part of a decades-long effort by the liberals to throw sand in our eyes -- to keep us from seeing clearly where they really want to take us. (And this explains why, when we question their judgment on some issue, they go berserk and accuse us of questioning their patriotism. They're afraid we're on the verge of catching on. If you want to have some fun, the next time you're chatting with a liberal and he goes nuts when you call him a socialist, say to him: "I'm so sorry you're offended. Please tell me, what is there about socialism you don't like?" You won't get a coherent answer; he'll just accuse you of a hate crime.

Ladies and Gents, this is why the RINOs of the GOP are failing, and failing to get votes. Because they're still operating under the assumption that the opposing party actually wants America to succeed. The Democrat American Communist Party is anti-American by it's very actions, and need to finally be treated as the Domestic Enemies to the Constitution that they are.

Read it all. To defeat the enemy you must first identify him.

Sotomayor

So the new judge that Obama picked to fill Souter's position....

What can I say about her? Well, I want you to look at this statement:

As Judge Smith explained in a 2002 speech at Berkeley, he believes it is appropriate for a judge to consider their “experiences as white men” in their decisionmaking, which he believes should “affect our decisions.”

Now you tell me if that statement was read at any liberal college (redundancy alert) there wouldn't be a shitstorm of epic proportions. But if a woman of any skin color says:

As Judge Sotomayor explained in a 2002 speech at Berkeley, she believes it is appropriate for a judge to consider their “experiences as women and people of color” in their decisionmaking, which she believes should “affect our decisions.”

Suddenly it's alright. Because only whites can be racist.

If this racist bint gets seated, it'll be one of the more disgusting events to ever take place in that body.

California Proposition 8 upheld

Today the California Supreme Court vetoed same sex marriage. The down side to this is that all current same sex marriages that occurred before Proposition 8 stand. The reasoning's for this are questionable at best.
I can understand the whole that proposition 8 was not worded to be retroactive. But to say that it would cause issues with property rights! Come on, who are we kidding here?

Some may call this a hollow victory because of the remaining "marriages". Considering I thought it would be pretty much thrown out, I think we should be happy, not elated, but happy with this judgment.

Grateful Sorrow

To every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, and Coastie who has died in order to keep this country free, thank you.


We'll be back to your regularly scheduled politics tomorrow. But I think that today, this is all that needs to be said.

One thing that bugged me

...about Seattle this time around. Well, bugged me MORE than normal. All the men there? Feminine. Total girly men.

And I may get hate mail for this, but I really don't give a damn. There were men holding hands with their female counterpart, and I had a hard time telling who was the guy and who was the girl. It wasn't until they turned around and one of them had a goatee that I could tell who had the Y chromosome. They walked like a girl. Their mannerisms were feminine. The way they gestured with their hands was feminine. They were total and complete girly men from top to bottom. The lack of testosterone was staggering, and there were times I wanted to just go back to my hotel room and take a hot shower with scouring powder and a Brillo pad after mingling with the locals. I wanted to read this essay about five times in a row to remember what a real friggin' man is like.

The men of Seattle are not men anymore. When the homeless bums are more manly than the men, you have problems. Although it does explain why Seattle votes the way they do. There's not a single set of real balls left in the City that I could see.

Hell, I bet that when Phil goes to work, he doubles the amount of testosterone in a five-mile radius.

So folks, if you want to see what happens to a city when you remove the male portion of society, just look at Seattle. Oh, there are "men" there, if having a penis makes a person a "man". But I would say that their penises are nothing more than a fleshy appendage on an androgynous form, because I couldn't find a real man from that city in the week I was there.

Oh, and just to pile on - I'm always interested by the different dialects we have around the country, with the Southern Drawl, the Southwestern twang, the different dialects in and around New England, etc. etc. etc. You want to know what the Seattle dialect is?

It's a lisp. The majority of men in Seattle talk with a lisp. No, theriouthly, lithening to a converthathion in Pike Plathe Market was like eavethdropping on a conferenth of thpeech impedimenths.

Yeah. Go ahead and send me the hate mail.

Parental Units

My father has been visiting for the past few days. I've been showing him all the local sights, including one of the local brewery's, where he purchased a shirt that read "The Liver is Evil, and Must be Punished".

Hey, he's a Marine. What do you expect?

We've also been stuffing him full of food and good alcohol, as much as he can stand. Literally. We stuff him until he can barely stand. It's what a good son does. And since this is Wisconsin, we're stuffing him full of the local delights, which in this case are the local beers, home-made bratwurst, and ten-year old sharp cheddar cheese. Mmmmmm, good!

So anyways, if I'm not online much, now you know why.

Yet another domestic terror attack

Lets say it together.

They're not Muslims... this is just another 'random act' by 'mentally unstable' individuals with no ties to international terrorism.

FBI arrest four in alleged plot to bomb Bronx synagogues, shoot down plane

The FBI and NYPD busted a four-man homegrown terror cell Wednesday night that was plotting to blow up two Bronx synagogues while simultaneously shooting a plane out of the sky, sources told the Daily News.

The idea was to create a "fireball that would make the country gasp," one law enforcement said.
...

The suspects - three U.S.-born citizens and one Haitian immigrant - at least three of whom were said to be jailhouse converts to Islam, were angry about the deaths of Muslims in Afghanistan, sources told The News.
...

The group's alleged ringleader, James Cromitie, according to the complaint, discussed targets with an undercover agent. "The best target [the World Trade Center] was hit already," he allegedly told the agent. Later, he rejoiced in a terrorist attack on a synagogue.

"I hate those motherf-----s, those f---ing Jewish bastards. . . . I would like to get [destroy] a synagogue."
...

The men allegedly parked car bombs wired to cell phones outside the Riverdale Temple and nearby Riverdale Jewish Center. They were also heading to Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, Orange County, when the law swooped in on them.

FBI Thwarts Attacks On NYC Temple, Upstate Airport

Since the attacks that brought down the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001, authorities have thwarted a number alleged plots against area targets including the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey, John F. Kennedy Airport, the Herald Square subway station and the Brooklyn Bridge.
...

Convicted in the Fort Dix case were: Jordanian-born cab driver Mohamad Shnewer; Turkish-born convenience store clerk Serdar Tatar; and brothers Dritan, Eljvir and Shain Duka, ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia, who had a roofing business.

4 arrested in plot to bomb NYC temple

"This was a long, well-planned investigation, and it shows how real the threat is from homegrown terrorists," said Rep. Peter King, of New York.

FBI, NYPD Arrest 4 in Alleged Plot to Bomb NY Synagogues

Authorities said they had the plotters under surveillance since June of 2008

Domestic Terror attacks in USA since '93

Every terrorist act prevented is a defeat because the apologists immediately claim that terrorist would not have committed the crime and was 'entrapped'.

Every successful terrorist attack is a defeat because the apologists claim it is a 'response' by powerless victims no matter how absurd those claims might be.

And this is why

I still practice land navigation with a map and a compass. GPS System set to fail.

Huh. It's almost like when you reduce the military's budget (since the Air Force is in charge of the GPS systems) during a time of war, forcing them to cut back on where they spend money, you'll have to face the consequences someday!

Hmmmmmmmmm.....

On the other hand, maybe when the Left-voting idiots can't use their OnStar or Garmin, they'll actually wake the fuck up. Maybe.

Quote of the day

From Hecate

Stuck victims choose to define themselves by their damage instead of working to overcome it. They can build their entire lives around being a victim. I met lots of people like that during my active process. They only associated with other victims. They went to a different support group every night of the week, groups for sexual abuse, codependency, addiction, overeating, bulimia, you name it. They worked very, very hard at not getting better.

Well hell, if that doesn't describe the Democrat American Communist Party to a "T", I don't know what does.....

W..wh... what?

I have a.....


DAY OFF?????



*faints*

You know what would suck?

If the most corrupt, incompetent Congress EVAH would mandate more changes to the automotive industry, thus helping complete the destruction of said industry.

Oh, wait. That's taken care of.

Some soccer moms will have to give up hulking SUVs. Carpenters will still haul materials around in pickup trucks, but they will cost more. Nearly everybody else will drive smaller cars, and more of them will run on electricity.

The higher mileage and emissions standards set by the Obama administration on Tuesday, which begin to take effect in 2012 and are to be achieved by 2016, will transform the American car and truck fleet.

These worthless, stupid, ball-gargling ass-cannons have just written the death warrant for US Auto companies. Hell, they've just damaged the auto industry period. Remember what I wrote about the Chevy Aveo a few months back? Imagine every new car being sold is JUST LIKE THAT PIECE OF SHIT.

And for all you worthless fucking communist shitbags who voted for the Chicago Fucking Marxist, you all deserve to have your tiny, pea-sized brains ripped out of your hollow heads so that you stop inflicting hell on my country. I understand that the Democrat American Communist Party members are, by and large, too weak and pathetic to handle responsibility and freedom, thus they willingly give away those two things to their lords and masters in D.C. But that doesn't mean that the rest of the country wants to give up THEIR freedom and responsibilities. Nor do we want the fucking parasites to tell us what to drive.

I swear, the more I see, the more convinced I am that cutting our losses and letting the Left drown in it's own filth is the only way to go.

And Once Again...

GLOW-BULL WARMING IS BULLSHIT.

It's fascinating to watch their progress online. (The URLs are too complex to reproduce here, but Google "Argo Buoy Movement" or "Argo Float Animation," and you will be directed to the links.)

When they were first deployed in 2003, the Argos were hailed for their ability to collect information on ocean conditions more precisely, at more places and greater depths and in more conditions than ever before.

No longer would scientists have to rely on measurements mostly at the surface from older scientific buoys or inconsistent shipboard monitors.

So why are some scientists now beginning to question the buoys' findings? Because in five years the little blighters have failed to detect any global warming. They are not reinforcing the scientific orthodoxy of the day, namely that man is causing the planet to warm dangerously. They are not proving the predetermined conclusions of their human masters. Therefore they, and not their masters' hypotheses, must be wrong.

In fact, "there has been a very slight cooling," according to a U.S. National Public Radio (NPR) interview with Josh Willis at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a scientist who keeps close watch on the Argo findings.

Willis insisted the temperature drop was "not anything really significant." And I trust he's right. But can anyone imagine NASA or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- the UN's climate experts -- shrugging off even a "very slight" warming.

Anyone who still tries to say that Global Warming is fact needs to be shunned as being too stupid to be part of civilization. IT'S BULLSHIT, PEOPLE!!!!!

In case you missed it

Nancy Pelosi is still a lying bitch who doesn't deserve to be a file clerk, much less a member of Congress.

The fact that San Fransicko keeps re-electing this brainless, useless, lying, spineless, moral-less piece of shit is reason enough for me to wall that city off from America and let them all rot to death in their own filth.

Yet Another IVAW traitor exposed as a fraud

They just keep popping up.

The man who called himself Rick Duncan - purportedly a former Marine captain and 1997 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy - is in fact 31-year-old Richard Glen Strandlof, a former mental patient who never served in the military and falsely claimed that he was in the Pentagon during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to David Walsh of the Colorado Veterans Alliance (CVA), which Duncan founded.

Walsh, who joined the board of CVA at Duncan’s request last year, said his colleagues in the organization grew suspicious of Duncan after discovering “significant inconsistencies” in his personal story.

Damn near every IVAW hero is either a fake, a fraud, a liar, a cheat, or a back-stabbing piece of shit who doesn't deserve to wear the uniform. Jimmy Massey, Jesse McBeth, "Rick Duncan", etc. etc. etc. Just how many liars, frauds and fakes does one organization have to have exposed before we can pull the plug on it?

The Ragin' Mrs. has been tearing the house apart, quite literally. My office has no walls, no ceiling and no flooring, but new insulation. The closet is waiting for it's next coat of plaster, which will happen when I'm finally home. And the Ragin' Dad will be visiting next week. In short, I'm tapped out.

Gah. One day, I'll get to rest. One day......

By the way, while I was in Seattle I was able to have dinner with my man Phil from Random Nuclear Strikes. Hi Phil! I much enjoyed it! Next time I'll try to get there when you have some time off!

Hell Period Continues

So, after being gone for three weeks, with the odd day home here or there, I got to spend two days at home while I was sick, then head back to work, and tomorrow I head off to Minneapolis. I get back Sunday night.

Yay me.

I'd love to have a weekend at home. When I'm healthy.
