The truth is… Oh, LOOK!!! SHINY THINGS!!!!!

Donald Sterling, future former owner of the LA Clippers, is a registered Republican. He is also a racist and one who has been convicted of discrimination based on race and ethnicity in regard to his real estate holdings. This is true and the Liberal Media is having a field day with it.

•       Shiny Thing – Those damned Conservatives and their cohorts in crime, the Republicans, are at it again. Racist bastards. “No doubt there are plenty of racists in the Democratic Party, but day by day by day it becomes even clearer that the Republican Party is the real home to racists.” (The New Civil Rights Movement, April 28, 2014)
•       Truth – Donald Sterling donated $2,000 to the campaign coffers of Sen. Bill Bradley (D-NJ), $1,000 to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and $1,000 to Gov. Gray Davis (D-CA). There is no record that Donald Sterling contributed to Republican candidates. (littlesis.org) Why he remains a RHINO is beyond me. However, his history is well known and the Democratic candidates who accepted his money became conveniently ignorant for the sake of the almighty campaign contribution. Is this not “racism by proxy”?

Syria is a mess. It seems that bodies are floating down the main river – victims of the government or the Al Qaeda linked “freedom fighters” is unknown. Biological weapons are still being used by Assad against his own people, despite the promise to our Ego in Chief that they would be dismantled and destroyed. Putin is running with scissors, laughing as he dances across the Ukraine. Iran is increasing their employment numbers by working feverishly to build their precious centrifuges since most of the sanctions against them have been lifted. An American Pastor languishes in one of the most dangerous prisons in that dung pit. In other words, America doesn’t mean shit to the despots of the world anymore. The administration has seriously damaged our standing in the world in one swell foop.

•       Shiny Thing – Some crazy rancher is grazing his cattle on federal lands and threatening tortoises. He is a tax cheat and should be in prison. His supporters had guns. They scared the BLM (and whatever paramilitary troops were there to back them up) and, to top it all off HE IS A RACIST!!!!!
•       Truth – Yes, Cliven Bundy has not paid his federal grazing fees for 20 years, but he has made payments to Clark County, Nevada on a regular basis for the use of this property (which I assume is paid for by taxpayers and belongs to every American citizen equally). However, there is a fine line between fees and taxes, as Barry should know. That fine distinction is the only reason we are stuck with his crap health care bill. Until the BLM decided that the land near the Bundy Ranch was a good place for a solar farm, Mr. Bundy was brought to court twice and the matter seemed to fade as time went by. The jury is out as to whether he is a racist or is simply not articulate enough to properly explain the concept of government control he believes is holding all of us down.
•       Truth – Any “Commander in Chief” who believes that Putin is just a regional annoyance, or that making friends with the Iranians by giving them money is a good thing is a fucking moron and I am not afraid to call it as I see it. Any “President” who has not made one iota of effort to free three American hostages – a doctor in Pakistan, a soldier in Afghanistan (we think) and a pastor in Iran – will never get my respect.
•       Truth – If Barry draws any more “red lines” in the sand, the earth is going to resemble Mars when viewed from the International Space Station. And, some of that red will be the blood of innocents. And, this happened on his watch.

On September 11, 2012, four Americans were murdered while serving our country in Benghazi, Libya. As I showed in a previous post, our government was warned of possible actions against Americans and American interests well ahead of this horrible tragedy. New emails were released proving that the idea to blame the attacks at Benghazi on a really bad, soft-porn video was concocted by Barry and his band of Merry Muckrakers.

•       Shiny Thing – Fox News won’t report anything good Sir Ego does. According to him, he has had many successes that don’t get any press. Don’t hate the player, hate the press. They, particularly Fox, will not let things go when they are clearly over, solved, finito, nothing but manufactured crises. None of this matters anymore – but LOOK!!!! I played soccer with a robot!!!!
•       Shiny Thing 2 – Because President George W. Bush went after Sadam Hussein, Al Qaeda was allowed to run rampant across the Middle East and in America. Once again, it is all George Bush’s fault (yawn).
•       Truth – The more time goes by, the more we come to realize what we already suspected to be the truth – President Obama was directly involved in manipulating (and I am being nice) the facts about Benghazi in order to win a second term. He is not going to slip out of this one with a glass of beer and a handshake. Not this time.
•       Truth – Even though The Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014 proposed by Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) is supposedly aimed at racist, sexist and every other form of “ist” speech used online, etc., it opens the door for the government to tag as Hate Speech words written by those who disagree with them – sort of like Facebook is doing.  Here is the excuse they are using to once again attempt to restrict our First Amendment Rights – “’We have recently seen in Kansas the deadly destruction and loss of life that hate speech can fuel in the United States, which is why it is critical to ensure the Internet, television and radio are not encouraging hate crimes or hate speech that is not outside the protection of the First Amendment,’ said Markey.” (adweek.com)(emphasis added). Only because I love to pound things home with a sledgehammer – notice the law calls for regulating speech that IS protected by our First Amendment.

Lie, Deny and Pacify

“It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.” – Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany 1933-1945

Kinda creepy, huh?  I mean, considering all that is going on with the IRS, DOJ, Benghazi, and the EPA.   How better to “supervise” what the public hears in order to win an election than to lie, deny and pacify?  “It is not truth that matters, but victory.” – Adolf Hitler, Führer und Reichskanzler, Germany 1933-1945

I wonder if Candy Crowley feels even a modicum of regret as a journalist for assisting Obama in the lie perpetrated upon the American public during his debate with Mitt Romney.  (Probably as regretful as Hill and Barry feel about the four deaths in Benghazi.)  She knew damned well that Obama never mentioned terrorism during the Rose Garden speech.  But, then again, so did most of the people who voted for him.  Like the followers of any charismatic leader, blind devotion trumps cold, hard facts every time.  “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” – Adolf Hitler

It has now come to light that “… 92 percent of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) fee waivers were granted to ‘environmental allies,’ while just 8 percent were granted to conservative think tanks. The disparity came to light this week in a report by a conservative research group.  Agencies can waive fees for requested information if they determine the information contributes to the public understanding of governmental activities” (Reuters.com).  To have a complete understanding of any circumstance, you must be able to consider both sides of the issue.  If one side is silenced, then all you are left with is a lecture from a biased podium.  When giving free access to information only to groups sympathetic to Obama, his campaign organizers were able to pacify their supporters and quite possibly gain new ones.

Let’s add the EPA to the IRS scandal that hit the airwaves last week.  Both pretty much attempted to accomplish the same goal – make life tough on the Conservatives (and those who are not Conservative, but believe in the Constitution and not in the government) so that they might give up, crawl under a rock and let Obama rule the country unfettered.  Once again, his supporters got what they wanted because their 501(c)(3) and (4) requests slid through like shit through a goose while others languished in paperwork Hell for months and months.  “In 2011 Conservative watchdog group Media Trackers filed with the IRS to achieve nonprofit status. The application got stuck in Obama-induced IRS limbo. In 2012 the same group changed its name and filed again with the IRS as “Greenhouse Solutions.” They were granted nonprofit status in 3 weeks” (Hannity.com).

Of course, He Who Bows to Dictators and Despots will claim he had no knowledge of the political games going on in either agency.  He had no knowledge that there were serious security concerns in Benghazi.  Certainly he had no knowledge of the wiretapping going on at the AP offices, and certainly he will deny any knowledge of the seizure of personal emails and phone records of Fox News’ James Rosen.  Really, why is this guy still President? 

The AP wiretapping scandal and the naming of reporter James Rosen as “…a probable ‘co-conspirator’ in a criminal spying case…” (Guardian.co.uk) reek of intimidation and a desire to show the press who is in charge.  “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” – Joseph Goebbels.  Problem is, Barry, there is a pesky little thing called the First Amendment and those who are journalists have no intention of changing their names to Steinway.  I feel this hornet’s nest might just get us a Republican/Libertarian controlled House and Senate in 2014.  (Put away your gavel, Nan.  Ain’t happenin’.)  Well, a girl can dream anyway.

What absolutely floors me is that Obama’s approval rating is still hovering around fifty percent.  When people discuss the “dumbing down” of America I find it hard to believe that they are only referring to school children.  Can it be that the effects of free stuff from the government include the loss of brain function?  I guess so.  In case you haven’t noticed the allusion running through this blog post, let me tie it up in a neat little bone-chilling bow for you with the following final quote:

“The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it.”

– Dr. Josef Mengele, SS Captain and The Angel of Death at Auschwitz, Germany, 1933-1945

 

They Can’t Handle the Truth!!!!

You know, when Richard Nixon did it the Media didn’t like it.  Not at all.  I’m talking about blackballing a newspaper for writing articles questioning decisions made by his administration.

Back in the 70’s newspapers were still the most powerful journalistic outlet in America.  They had the power to make or break someone’s political career.  Nixon hated The New York Times and had no problem barring them from access to the White House.  Journalists around the country made their feelings known.  They accused the Nixon administration of stepping on the First Amendment Rights of The New York Times, and rightly so.

However, that was when there was still such a thing as “journalistic integrity”.  That term can now be filed under “Oxymoron” with other classics such as “jumbo shrimp”.  Now-a-days the MSM outlets have been reduced to nothing more than 24/7 campaign commercials for Congressional Liberals and the White House.  I was taken by surprise when they joined the “Huh?” generation after Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize.

There is now a present day blacklist and it contains one name – Fox News Channel. Why?  Because Anita Dunn has chosen to blur the lines between commentary and journalism. These terms, though somewhat similar, are significantly different in one respect.  Journalism is “a direct presentation of facts” while commentary is “an expression of opinion”.  Commentary, which quite often contains factual information, is an expression of one person’s views of those facts.  Journalism in its truest form should not be laced with opinion.

I challenge Anita to stop wasting my tax dollars blogging on a White House website and, instead, issue a statement of factual inaccuracies presented by Fox News Channel. This is similar to a request I made a week-or-so ago to the Liberal blogging community.  I fear we will get the same response from her as I did…a barrage of vitriolic refuse.

I want the TRUTH!!!! And I can handle it…can YOU?
