Big Government : Poster Boy for DNC/MSNBC Attacks on Romney Worked with Ted Kennedy to Provoke Strike, Destroy Compan

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:06:01 +0000

Am I the only person who noticed this was Smith Corona? It was a typewriter company. Hello. The people who put it out of business were not employees of Bain Capital. Apple Computer, Microsoft, IBM, Compaq, Dell and others who popularized the personal computer put Smith Corona out of business. Sort of like digital cameras and Polaroid. In the free enterprise system its adapt or die. Isn't it a good thing to let companies that produce products that nobody wants die? We see it over and over again. Anybody remember Wang? How about Underwood and Singer?

Big Journalism : 2012 Is Coming, the MSM Is Corrupt, and Big Journalism Needs Your Help

One suggestion you left off. "Share on Facebook" sharing conservative comments and news stories on your Facebook account does 2 things. It reinforces other people who are conservative and gives them easy access to specific information to back up their conservative beliefs. It provides information for those independents and liberals who are curious or openminded enough to look now and than at your links. So Share on Facebook is a great way to spread informations.

Frontpage Magazine : Who Is Davidi Gilo?

Reading this article reminded me of why many fundamentalist Christians are supporters of Israel. I am not a fundamentalist but I have read the Old Testament (aka The Torah and the Tanakh). Cleanse Jews from Judea? From Samaria? These areas are, to paraphrase Rupert Brooke, their own , their native land. We who have not only read the Bible stories, but also know that archeological discoveries have supported the essential veracity of some of those stories ( i.e . towns and forts have been located with the same names) What kind of self destructive mental illness do these liberal "Jews" have that they want to destroy their own history? Those of us who have simply read and learned a little about the Bible know that these stories were written down and circulated before Muhammad was ever born. These leftists are not merely anti-Semitic, they are deniers of history who are funded by that Nazi collaborater, George Soros.

Big Government : Will the Left Blame Conservatives and the Tea Party for the Norway Tragedy?

Mon, 25 Jul 2011 13:50:23 +0000

So far, Redbadge,you are the only person advocating the suppression of first amendment rights and violence. As is so typical these days, even your little video doesn't prove your point. So these moveon people don't like counter demonstrations? How many counterdemonstrations has the left called? What about what they did in Wisconsin where it became necessary for a Democrat legislator to protect a Republican legislator from actual physical aggression when the latter tried to enter the state building. It is you who wants to shut down Fox, Breitbart and Geller. It is you that threatens to "stomp on" people who disagree with you. If you want to see a person who is a tyrannical bully, look in the mirror.

Frontpage Magazine : West vs. Wasserman Schultz

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 22:23:30 +0000

Colonel West is glad to debate, I'm sure. The point of his e-mail was that waiting until he left the floor to call him out personally is not a debate. It's an attack behind someone's back. If she had said it while he was there, he could have responded. She waited until he could not respond because he wasn't on the floor. He sent her a private e-mail which SHE chose to make public and then accused him of sexual harassment. It looks to me like the person who can't take the heat is Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She made false allegations against him when he couldn't respond right away. Typical Democrat tactics. What a bunch of low lifes my former party have become.

This wasn't an ad for the movie. It was a movie listing in the Los Angeles Times for that theater. In other words, if you were looking to see what is playing at the AMC at The Block in Orange, you would look there. to call this an ad for the movie is a stretch. The ad, if any, is placed by the theater not by the promoters of the movie. The promoters of the movie knew nothing about this supposedly planned showing of the movie. HOWEVER and I repeat, I, who actually bought 3 tickets to see the movie, went online to the theater's website where you can actually buy a ticket and did not see it listed there EVEN THE AFTERNOON BEFORE. I don't buy the LA times because it is a left wing propaganda rag not a newspaper. I get my news online. How is that people who were actually involved in promoting the movie never saw the listing. I hasten to add that this theater does not normally have 12:45 AM showings on a Friday morning. That was apparently for Harry Potter. And, by the way, the Harry Potter midnight opening was widely advertised. And by advertised I mean a heck of lot more than just listing it in the newspaper. People my niece's age (22) rarely read newspapers. They get their information off the net just as I do. My niece and her friends knew about it and bought their tickets well in advance just as I bought two of my 3 Undefeated tickets well in advance. Not just I, but many other people can testify that the 12:45 or 12:10 or whatever midnight showing of the Undefeated was not listed online at the AMC website even the day before.

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 16:01:29 +0000

Again-- what ad? My understanding is that there was no paid advertising for the movie in any newspapers. I don't read the LA Times so I wouldn't have seen it if it ran. But I did go to the website for AMC theaters to buy tickets and I did NOT see a listing of a 12:10 AM showing. Period. NONE. The first showing was listed at 10:15 AM. That was on Thursday. If there was a 12:15 AM showing for the undefeated on Friday, you would think it would have been listed. There was no such showing listed. If you have a copy of an ad that lists a showing at 12:15 or any time before10:15 AM on July 15, I would be very interested to see it. And your psychobabble does not intimidate me nor other Palin supporters. I have yet to talk to a Palin supporter who supports her for any other reason than the positions she takes and her history of fighting for what she believes in. I don't know a single Palin supporter who "worships" her. We support Palin because she supports the same positions that we support. I think that is political. I think that is rational. WE are defensive because she is constantly and irrationally attacked, often in vile and obscene ways. We have made up our minds that we will stand by those who stand by us and we will not tolerate the lies and misrepresentations about her and her record that are constant. We know that whoever is nominated to run against Obama will be the target of such slanders. We have seen it over and over again and we have decided not to put up with it anymore. Its just that simple. Your insinuations that Palin supporters are mentally unbalanced are like those people who talk about the horror of dropping the atomic bomb on Japan while conveniently omitting any discussion of World War II. Well, gee golly, dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki does seem like a very horrible thing to do. But when you put it in the context of a nation at war preparing to lose a million men in the proposed invasion of Japan, after a long and deadly war where the Japanese were still unwilling to acknowledge defeat, well, a little more difficult to condemn. When the MSM and conservative elites stop their constant petty and often lying attacks on Palin we will stop defending her.

Well, the funny thing is, as I said before, I bought a ticket online the day before and the 12:10 or whenever it was showing, was NOT listed. Period. No one but Conor Friedsdorf appears to have seen it. 12:10 AM showings on weeknights are not normal for ANY movies except Harry Potter openings. My niece is a big Harry Potter fan and has been at other midnight openings including this one. Some other blockbuster movies have used the same opening, but a documentary? Nevertheless, it wasn't listed when I went to buy a ticket the daybefore. So, I think that it is permissible to ask, why was it run when it wasn't advertised or even listed on the website for buying tickets? But my real point is that, while claiming that Sarah fans can't take the heat, it is people like you who can't take the heat. Someone disagrees with you and you get all indignant. Sorry, the people with the thin skin are the ones who think that Palin has no right to defend herself and Palin supporters have no right to defend her. Also, I did read the article.

So, some poor hapless reviewer from the New York Post "suffered" blowback from the movie's producers. No one is "allowed" to disagree with Palin. Is this the new meme? If Palin supporters call out misrepresentations, unfair criticisms and downright lies, they are somehow unable to deal with criticism? No, we don't think Sarah is perfect. We think there has been plenty of published criticism of Sarah and it is time for the other side to be heard. The person who doesn't like being called out is Conor Freidsdorf. What did anyone say about him? That he misrepresented the opening? Hey. It's true. Deal with it. Nobody who actually wanted to see the movie, other than Conor was even told about the showing. I know. I went on the website less than 8 hours before that showing to buy a ticket and that showing wasn't listed. I might have attended if I had known about it. The people who can't stand criticism, who seem to think that disagreement is a violation of their first amendment rights, are the Palin critics.

We should also remember that when conservatives, like Newt Gingrich, tried to set up tax exempt educational organizations, the left went after them and pretty much won. They should very much not be allowed to continue to get away with this.

Breitbart.com : Money woes could threaten high-speed rail's future

Wed, 3 Feb 2010 05:13:39 +0000

The project in California (from San Francisco to Anaheim) is a boondoggle of truly gargantuan proportions. The estimated cost of the whole system is somewhere around 160 Billion. Because of the Tehachapi mountains which run across half the state between Los Angeles and Bakersfield, there is no way to build a high speed rail system without either tunneling under the mountains ( for approximately 35 miles and crossing the San Andreas fault) or going through heavily populated coastal areas. Either way, the cost is going to be really enormous. And people will end up not taking it. We have the metro light rail system in LA which is costing many billions and runs either half empty or close to empty most of the time. The estimate subsidy per ride is over five dollars.

One avenue is to read what is written on the science by some of the skeptics. For example, if you go to the Web site, WattsUpWithThat, by Anthony Watts you will find a plethora of research, performed by qualified people concerning the accuracy of the surface temperature record. You should also go to his Web site, surfacestations.org. This is real science. Anthony has recruited hundreds of volunteers to survey the surface station measuring sites in the United States and Canada to see if they are subject to Urban Heat Island effects. The answer is that the majority of them are. This is not speculation. This is not a computer model. Hundreds of volunteers have photographed the surface temperature measuring stations. Those photographs show that many of them are located next to air conditioning vents (which add heat and distort the measurements), large amounts of concrete in parking lots, buildings and driveways, ( which add heat) and are otherwise suspect in terms of their accuracy. That is real science. Going and looking at the source of your data and evaluating on a case by case basis whether the source of it is accurate. You will find that the discussions on such websites are about the facts. That is what scientific discussion should be about. If you read the post on Watt's Web site called the Smoking Gun at Darwin Zero, you will see why so many skeptics have cause for concern. It is not just that the Hadley CRU people said they were fudging the data. It is that they actually were fudging the data -- that is, they "adjusted" at least one record from one site to show temperature increases when there had been, in fact, a decline. AS I once said to my struggling to learn music son, I don't have to know how to play the violin to know if you are playing in tune and on time. I do not have to be a scientist to know if you are dealing accurately and fairly with the basic data. When so called scientists lie to the public about the data, there is serious cause for concern.

Here's a novel idea to jump start the economy-- Promise the American taxpayer and business owner that There will be no government takeover of health care and no cap and trade. Those two promises alone will improve the economy. Why would anyone want to start a new business with those two business killers hanging over their heads.

Amy Alkon on MND : At Once Undermannered And Overparented

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:51:34 +0000

In defense of parents who overparent and underdiscipline, they are, unfortunately, listening way too much to a mainstream media that says over and over that children are fragile little flowers who will be destroyed if parents ever say no. So, first, three cheers for swimming against the tide. I say, if you see a parent give a misbehaving kid a butt swat, go up to him or her and say "Thank you. Not enough parents discipline their children these days and I'm glad to see you are being a good parent". They need to hear it. We really need to act individually to change this social consensus . At the same time we need to talk about what is reasonable risk. If you want to know really why so many children are obese, go look at any elementary, middle or high school ten minutes before school starts. There is a traffic jam of parents who won't let their children ride the school bus or walk to school (which I, like the author, started doing when I was about 7). It seems to me that the technology we have today can substantially reduce the worry without turning the child into a prisoner of his parents paranoia. If you are really, really worried, put a GPS locator in his backpack. The number of child kidnappings is no higher than it ever was, we just hear about them more. I would be much more worried about traffic accidents than kidnapping, if I had a school age child these days.

These are not the death panels Sarah Palin was talking about. She was talking about the cost effective care panels which are also alive and well in this bill. They are similar to the NICE panels in England which decide which treatments will be paid for and which ones won't. These are true death panels because if you are denied care you will die. In Britain they have also approved something called the Liverpool Care Pathway which is a decision by your doctor that you are close to death so they will deprive you of water and food and give you heavy doses of morphine to speed you on your way. These are not imaginary. They are real in Britain. See this story: http://tinyurl.com/l4ba3m And also see http://tinyurl.com/yf32e4t These are the real death panels. don't think it can't happen here

Big Hollywood : 'Invention of Lying': Anti-Christian

Fri, 2 Oct 2009 17:09:16 +0000

For those of us ancient ones who remember Oh God! With George Burns, John Denver and Terri Garr-- that was truly a delightful film Back in the days when Hollywood did not need to dis the Judeo Christian tradtion. What we need is more Oh God's and less of this type of nihilistic insults. I still love the scene where John Denver and Terri Garr are talking and She asks him something like, so you think you talked to God? And Denver responds, somewhat frenetically, Well he says he's God. I suggest that the best revenge is for everyone to rent Oh God! And the sequel and stay home with microwave popcorn (which is the best.)

Big Government : UPDATE Group Stands Ground Over Claims That NBC Employee Issued Anti-Semitic Email

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 23:30:39 +0000

So here is my takeaway-- if I had a shadow of a doubt that someone was spoofing my e-mail I would be in semi-panic mode. If she really didn't send it she should be super concerned that someone has hacked into her e-mail and managed to send out e-mails with her address. As to the header information, maybe Alg is keeping it private to protect her privacy and not enable others to hack into the Nbc server. But the real proof of guilt to me is their unwillingness to find out how someone used their server and their reporter's blackberry, which is probably provided by Nbc, to send a phony e-mail. That should be of grave concern to Nbc which probably spends hundreds of thousands if not millions a year to protect the integrity of its Internal communication system. The headline should be Nbc or Ge servers hacked. But it isn't. And that leads a reasonable person to believe that the reason the headline is the denial is that the denial is false. They are acting like they have no reason to believe their server was hacked. Which means she sent the e-mail

Big Hollywood : Palin's Hong Kong Speech: I Can See Insanity From My Newsroom

And just to clarify-- Any governor of any state that shares a border with another country has some international experience. They have to. Here in California, Arnold meets with the Mexican president to work out problems. See for example http://www.drugpolicy.org/news/pressroom/pressrel... where Vicente Fox talks about Mexico and California cooperating to stop the drug trade. I am sure that Russian Fishing boats and Alaskan fishing boats don't just see each other. Here is a video of Palin giving a speech at an International Whaling Conference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IXXcByKpNk&fe... Way more experience than Obama. I would far rather have Palin speaking at the Un than Obama

This story demonstrates the narcissism of the liberal elites. Narcissism is a standard psychiatric diagnosis. You can see a full explanation here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/narcissistic-per... Essentially, narcissists think they are the center of the world. Other people exist only to serve them. Stephen Farrell wrote a long blog entry about his experience. http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/09/the-rep... On the surface, it seems a factual account. But the signs of narcissistic personality disorder are there. He defies the warning because he has an important mission to show the world how the Nato Forces are badly behaved. He speaks fondly of his sidekick Munadi, as the Lone Ranger might speak of Tonto (which is, coincidentally, Spanish for fool). But the story is really all about him and his importance. Having defied the advice given him, he nevertheless expects to be rescued, an expectation, unfortunately based in reality. But the real narcissism reveals itself in his behavior during the raid. He is completely unable to imagine the world as his rescuers see it. By that I mean, it is night when he is rescued. He is accompanied by a man who is dressed in a robe. It seems never to have occurred to Farrell how difficult it might be for his rescuers to know which men in robes are shooting at them and which one ( and there was only one) is friendly. Despite having hung out with soldiers and having been captured by terrorists before when he was in Iraq, he seems unable to understand the fog of war. By his own account, the Taliban had left the room where he was being held captive when he decided to leave the room also and run out into the middle of a firefight taking place at night, thinking all he had to do was announce who he was and everything would be all right. That kind of thought moves beyond mere arrogance into narcissistic personality disorder. Unfortunately, it was his loyal sidekick who was killed by his stupidity. He seemed incapable of understanding that his rescuers were being shot at by men in robes. He seemed incapable of understanding that they might not be able to hear him. He seemed incapable of understanding that they might not know him in the dark. I hope and pray that Stephen Farrell is suffering from grief, remorse and depression and guilt right now. Those feelings are not always bad. Narcissists suffer grief only when they don't get what they want. But even that self centered grief may lead, eventually, to some personal growth, some realization that they are not the center of the world, that they are not on some higher plane than all the lowly plebes. The truth is, that it may very well be that Stephen Farrell lead Munadi to his death. And perhaps someday Farrell will seek out the family of John Harrison, the British paratrooper who died In the rescue, and apologize to his family and thank them for having produced a son who was a strong, moral and honorable man with a whole lot more mettle than Stephen Farrell could ever hope to have.
