Romney Won't Apologize for RomneyCare

The Hill is reporting that Romney appeared on Good Morning America and "won't apologize" for RomneyCare.

His point was that states have the right to institute such a plan, but that the Federal government doesn't. Even though he may be right from a Constitutional perspective, he's flat wrong from a Conservative perspective. Romneycare is wrong for the same reasons Obamacare is wrong -- the government needs to stay the hell out of our health care decisions. It doesn't matter a hill of beans to me which government is oppressing, mandating or dictating to me. Government intrusion is government intrusion.

Oh, and Mitt, I won't apologize for NOT supporting you or any other RINO in 2012.

Finally Something Worth Blogging About

I kinda dropped the whole blogging thing in the past several months. I have been busy with other things, and just couldn't find the time or will to do it. But this news is worth blogging about. MSNBC finally fired Keith Olbermann. Great news for journalism, for fairness, and for integrity. He was the biggest liar, slanderer, smear merchant and outright socialist on TV. He will not be missed -- except for the 3 Pelosi supporters who watched him.

O'Reilly is Dead Wrong About Carter

Bill O'Reilly had a story tonight about Jimmy Carter, concerning his recent heavy criticism of Fox News. To summarize his remarks, he said that he doesn't think Jimmy Carter is a "bad man", but just a misguided man.

Let me tell you why I think that's just dead wrong. Jimmy Carter is an Anti-semite. He sides with Jew haters from all over the world. His books excoriate the Jewish people, and the nation of Israel at every opportunity. In my book, that places him on the side of murderers and thugs, and against God's chosen people. By definition, that makes him not only a bad man, but a cursed man.

Do I think The Jews are without fault? No, of course not. Do I think Israel has made some mistakes? Of course it has. It remains however the only free and democratic society in the entire middle east, and the last best hope for sanity over barbarism in the region.

"I will bless them that bless thee, and I will curse them that curse thee. And in thee (Israel via Abraham) shall all the nations of the world be blessed." God said it -- I didn't.

Not only a bad man, not only a national disgrace, but under a curse from God.

Predictions

OK, there have been alot of predictions about the results of the mid-terms. Since Most of them seem to be pure speculation, rather than analysis of hard numbers, I now feel eminently qualified to pitch in my two cents as well:

House:
Republicans take the house with a 65 seat gain. Pelosi easily wins re-election in her socialist district, but must hand the gavel to John Boehner.

Senate: Dems barely hold on to the Senate with a 51 to 49 majority. Harry Reid is narrowly defeated in Nevada, and an even worse liberal is named Senate Majority leader.

Obama: Embittered and furious after a crushing defeat in the mid-terms, the President retreats even further into his leftist/progressive/socialist philosphy. After all, he's not a pragmatist like Clinton, but a true believer. Gridlock ensues (which for Congress and America is a very good thing). He is defeated in 2012 by the "candidate to be named later"......

November 3rd follow up:

OK, so I was dead wrong about Reid. Who knew Nevada voters were so brain dead? Some of the insanity from California must have drifted across the Sierra Nevada...

But, my House prediction was dead on. So, I'll take a mixed result.

American Chopper - When The Son Surpasses The Father

I know it's a little strange, but this post has nothing to do with politics.

I've been a fan of the show "American Chopper" for several years now. The bikes are beautiful, thanks in no small part to Paul Teutel Jr's design ideas and the skilled craftsmanship of Rick and other fabricators. The one thing I never liked about the show was the way Paul Sr. berated, ridiculed, yelled and screamed at his son, virtually non-stop.

I watched his little motorcycle shop transform into a world class state of the art facility. Not once did he ever give his son any credit for this transformation. He contented himself with sitting in his office, with his feet up bitching and complaining about Paul Jr. and his "arrogance". Things finally and inevitably blew up, and he fired his son some time ago.

Now with the new season, Paul Jr. is starting his own bike shop. After he made a deal with his father to get his 20% of the business bought out, his father cooked the books to make sure that the 20% equaled nothing. So, the son backed out. What was his father's reaction? Honesty? Giving his son what he rightfully owed him? No. He sued his own son.

Sr's relationship with his other son Mikey is not any better.

No matter how much money he makes, no matter how successful his business is, to me Paul Sr. is an abject failure. He's a man filled with hate and animosity, whose own family will have nothing to do with him. A man's true measure of success is the love and respect of his family. Without that, he's just another loud mouthed jerk destined to inhabit an unvisited grave.

Tonight's episode had a very true and revealing line. Paul Jr, after being ambushed by his father on a radio show, said that the difference between him and his father is that he wishes his father well, and his father wishes him evil. How true, and how sad. I'll continue to watch, if only in hopes that the son surpasses the father again.

If a father truly loves his son, his dearest wish is that his son goes on to bigger and better things than he ever could. In Paul Sr's case, the opposite is true. Any love in Paul Sr's heart has been hijacked by anger, fear, jealousy and hostility. What a pathetic excuse for a father.

Whew. I feel better now.

No Words

I don't really have anything to say on this entry. After looking at this picture I have been feeling a little sick all day.

Oh well, ok, I'll say something. This picture is a perfect example of WHY ELECTIONS MATTER. This evil must be flushed out of Congress. VOTE!!!

Once Again - You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up

A test. The NASA Administrator - you know, the one responsible for America's SPACE program - told Terrorist TV today that his TOP priority is:

a- Space Exploration
b- Scientific Advancements in Space
c- Long-Distance Space Exploration
d- A permanent base on the Moon
e- Improving Relations with Muslims

If I had told you the answer was e, even 2 years ago, you would have said I was crazy. No, it's the Commander in Chief who is crazy. Clearly Insane. I sh*t you not.

It's Times Like These I'm Glad to Be Called A Libertarian....

In another incredibly stupid gaffe, Michael Steele - yes, the Chairman of the RNC -- THAT Michael Steele - says that the war in Afghanistan is a war of "Obama's own choosing".

Michael, have you ever heard of Al Qaeda? Bin Laden? The Taliban? We attacked Afghanistan almost immediately after 9/11 Michael, because that's where Bin Laden and Al Qaeda were -- you dumb ass.

Obama's war? Not on your life. It's America's war. It's Bush's. Obama is at best a reluctant player.

Sometimes Republicans can be their own worst enemy. Resign NOW, Mr. Steele. You have proven to be an albatross around conservative necks for too long.

I don't just want to beat the Dems on November, Michael. I want to humiliate them. I want to destroy their political power and influence for years to come.You and your idiotic comments are liable to make the retards on the left look like geniuses in comparison. Step aside now while the damage can be repaired. Sheesh!

A Remarkable Grasp Of The Obvious

"Obama is a menace to Israel, to Western Europe, . . . and to the whole of the Western World."

An interview at the New English Review with Dr. Richard L. Rubinstein, Yale fellow, "Distinguished Professor of the Year", and Harvard Phd.

"Obama is really a revolutionary. That doesn't mean he's looking to stir up violent trouble but I believe he is trying to transform both the American political system and economic system and America's relationship to the world. I also believe that he has decided that America must make its peace with Iran. I believe that he is a man who is highly intelligent, knows what he's doing and in spite of the fact that he has attracted liberal Jewish supporters, some with great wealth. His intention is to correct the historical mistake of the creation of the state of Israel.

Given Obama's background, the fact that his family was, on his father's side was Muslim, that his sister is a Muslim, that his half brother is a Muslim, there is no doubt that he heard a great deal about Islam and Israel from them before he took office and though he was not candid about it at first, he has by his decisions and his symbolic actions made it clear where his sympathies are.

I have nodoubt that he would not be unhappy to see the destruction of the State of Israel, as long as he can say that my hands have not shed this blood, which is a phrase from the Bibe.

In addition to that, he has a hostility towards Western Europe, especially to England as characterized by the symbolic action of returning the bust of Winston Churchill to the English, one of his first acts.

And he has made some interesting symbolic moves with, for example, bowing to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia since King Abdullah is the keeper of the two holiest shrines of Islam, Mecca and Medina, one wonders why he did this.

But when a head of state, which is what Obama is, makes a symbolic statement like that you know he is trying to convey a message, and it’s not one which we in western civilization are willing to accept.

Finally, he has talked of a nuclear-free Middle East and a nuclear-free world, and what he intends to do, of course, if he can, is to disarm Israel’s great equalizer. It has been able to defend itself against the far more numerous Arabs by virtue of the fact that it has nuclear weapons and Obama will, and he’s indicated he will apply every pressure to Israel to take that equalizer away from them.

So the way I see it, is that this man is a menace to Israel, to Western Europe, and I might add that Western Europe is beginning to have sanctions against Iran that are far greater and more effective than anything Obama was willing to tolerate, and to the whole of the Western World. He aims for a radical transformation, he is the most radical president that America has ever had."

Welcome to the real world, professor. Even though most of us knew this all along, another voice added to the chorus may be a good thing.

Bibles Have "No Educational Benefit"???

In a remarkable act of stupidity, a Florida school district is banning the Bible on Religious Freedom Day. Their rationale? Bibles don't provide any educational benefit.

I cannot think of any single piece of literature that would provide more educational benefit than the Bible. Rich in archeological, geographical and historical facts, as well as some of the most profound moral teaching and philosophy ever penned.

How much you wanna bet that the person or persons behind this prohibition have muslim ties? Don't laugh.
