The Stout Republican

I just got my first direct dose of the blog site, Daily Kos, and I no longer wonder why this time the sky might actually be at risk of falling. EWWWh and EEEek! Reading many of the posts and subsequent comments raises my level of concern at the complete and total corruption of the pursuit of truth and intellectual honesty/integrity. If I read one more imperative sentence claiming “that the fact of the matter is” or other such nonsense instantly invalidating any other opinion and assigning further discourse to the stupid/garbage bin I’m going to puke.

H/T michellemalkin.com: Aunti Zeituni Onyango — a Boston public housing resident — was an illegal alien deportation fugitive who was ordered to leave the country by an immigration judge four years ago. Despite her illegal absconder status, she not only obtained federal housing benefits, but also illegally contributed to Obama’s campaign. Obama denies knowing about her illegal status and has promised to return her donations.

Just one BIG question on this. The vetting procedure for candidates from many different agencies and all the parties only caught this now? It appears that some are more equal than others, comrade.

To the re-education camps with me!

When Dan Rather notices the MSM bias towards all things BO one has to wonder. Coverage of the most recent Biden gaff has been non-existent in MSM. Something about the international set testing BO because of his age…Biden has been given the next couple of days off by the campaign since he has been working so hard to NOT get BO elected. Now the rub, if Palin said something similar about McCain it would be front page news (sort of like their respectful and thoughtful disagreement on gay marriage is, which BTW is above the fold).

Rather did point out that the Internet could/would/is/will play a bigger role now and in the future in debunking MSM. Rather the uber-media-maven and apparently internet embracer says it is so.

On a personal note a number of people that believe Palin is the antichrist that I have spoken to in the last couple of weeks have been turned toward the light. Palin may not be any more qualified then BO but she is certainly not the book banning, willy nilly wolf shooting, neanderthal (who would have even thought of a labeling a woman with that little moniker?) that the left has tried to make her out to be. Yes they are all scummy politicians but if one checks their sources using other than the kool-aid vendors desired meme generators one will find a reason to vote based on fact and not rhetoric.

Just wanted to get anyone else’s take on this prop. Makes no difference to me other than it was voted on previously and then some judges struck down the existing law, which had been voted on and prevented gay marriage, as being faulty. I have a problem with judges that do that unless the law is extremely faulty. In this case I suggest that they over reached their bounds. The people spoke for better or worse ulp NOT sort of thing. Damn the, California Supreme Court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, damn them all to hell! oh sorry… Read more…

It was Obama’s debate to lose, the fix was in and yet he managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The democrat equivalencing and spin began in earnest last night. Funny how affirmative action works. Making something so white and black into a muddy gray.

Hear are the goggles I looked through to determine the winner of my vote. Two job applicants for a 4-8 year position are interviewed simultaneously. One applicant does a better job of demonstrating the knowledge and skill sets to get the job done than the other applicant does. One is detailed and seizes the initiative the other is not as detailed and does not seize the initiative.

Obama did not perform as well as McCain. Caveats, spin, and equivalence that all you want. Obama still did not perform as well as McCain.

Our chilly thought police friends to the north, Canada, conservative British Columbia no less…

Tyranny of Nice: How Canada Crushes Freedom in the Name of Human Rights (And Why It Matters To Americans)” A book exposing Canada’s fall into dhimmitude as their Human Rights Commission took Mark Steyn and Maclean’s magazine to trial ultimately for, “tone”, use of “sarcasm” and “subtle intellectual arguments”. Ultimately because his accusers and the Canadian Human Rights Commission were “unable to refute statistics and facts, or to deny that the portions of the article they found most offensive were in fact chilling quotations made by radical Muslims themselves.”

The silence from most of the Canadian MSM, (hahahah I made a funny, Canadian Main Stream anything is funny don’t you think?) save the Western Standard (they will be next on the list for the Canadian HRC witch hunters eh tribunal). In their expose, The Steyn show trial they point out the obvious. Toilets will soon be facing anywhere but east in the great white north.

Take off you hosers! To SiR with love: Oh yeah I want to retire to Canada someday…NOT! Though when the transition to Islam is complete talk about conservative…I guess IF one were to submit, nah we don’t need no stinkin submission.

Thx WIKI: Astroturfing in American English is a neologism for formal public relations campaigns in politics and advertising which seek to create the impression of being spontaneous “grassroots” behavior, hence the reference to the artificial grass, AstroTurf.

The democrat dream machine caught in the smear zone again? Dream a little false grass roots dream for me…

“Sarah Palin was a member of an Anti-American separatist organization”

The NYT had to retract the claim on the 3rd of September this year. Here’s what FactCheck.org says about the claim as well.

[Sarah Palin] was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She’s been registered as a Republican since May 1982.

Will the MSM attack this like the blood in the water it is? NOT LIKELY… A search using google and yahoo results in much-ado about astroturf the real thing. Ah yes the stumbling herd of the economy that only moments ago no one knew anything about or what to do about it commands the headlines. Makes one wonder why the sudden interest by previously uninterested dems does it not? Oh yes the economy is very important indeed.

The O-ne/Biden sucks harder than McCain/Palin…volkswagens through garden hoses comes to mind.

Update: Moonbats just suck Daily KOS also covering astroturfing tracks! Just how stupid are these people? Nothing goes away on the net, NOTHING…

WASHINGTON (FP) — Deep-seated racial bias could win Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an FP-Wahoo News poll that found 90% of black Democrats are voting for Obama solely because he is black.

PSYCHE! Just kidding no one would ever have the balls to conduct and publicize the results of a poll that indicated the racially based voting bias exhibited by black people. The study referenced is about white Dems showing racially biased voting tendency. Which leaves unsaid in great big PINK ELEPHANT FONT, that the real racists, Reps, will also be responsible for the O-ne’s loss.

There is a little subtle rumor out there in the world. As little and subtle as a production of The NutCracker Suite with a cast consisting entirely of pink elephants (code pink members? C-:). It is reaching world meme status. What is the meme?

IF OBAMA DOES NOT WIN THE ELECTION IT IS BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. The follow on logic is of course that Americans are therefore racists. Friends and acquaintances of mine in Canada and Europe have actually said the above in one way or another to me. How can they even think that? Oh but we are not talking about you “GT” we are talking about “everyone” else. I remind them that IF indeed Obama loses the election because he is black I would agree with them and promptly signup for the revolution. I also remind them that if Obama wins the election that it is very likely because America is racist. People only voting for Obama because he is black not because of his qualifications or platform. That is a neck breaker, an abrupt pseudo-intellectual pause, for them. “That is not racism” I interrupt and ask how is it not? LARGE PREGNANT PAUSES follow, then the usual non-thinking situational ethics rhetoric begins. This is where I get to relax and drink real potato vodka, made in the USA, BLUE ICE to excess and they get to sound sillier and sillier by the minute.

Stealing a bit from Monty Python, “and now for something entirely different”

IF OBAMA DOES WIN THE ELECTION IT IS BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. The follow on logic is of course that Americans are therefore racists.

I would not volunteer to sign up for the revolution if he is elected because he is black. But but but you would if he was not elected because of his race. The first and only hard rule of politics, people get the government they deserve. Until such time that people can see racism for what it is and is not, it is best to deal with the devil no one will admit to then the devil that people wished did and truly no longer exists for mainstream America.

To my friends in Canada and Europe only one thing left to say, Lan astaslem you truly racist fucks.

I think this is important…and even though Going There touched on in earlier today, it bears repeating.

To be clear, I don’t think the administration bears all the responsibility directly, though I’m disgusted that they’re complicit in the bailout…

I also don’t think the Democrats bear all the responsibility either, though I’m sure they need to be blamed in their own way for (in the name of “equality” and niceness) helped guide the hands of banks to lend to people who for all intents and purposes shouldn’t have been lent to…at the same time, I think borrowers (99% of them) knew what they were getting into, and gamed the system with the intent of making a quick dollar off of the booming market. I have little pity of them, either…the market is risky, buying property is risky, and risky means things can go wrong…people seem to think risk means things can go right, and when they go wrong, government takes care of you. Listen “progressives”…government isn’t your mother, learn to wipe your own ass.

However, this is important to requote this 2003 Article (H/T Hotair):

The plan is an acknowledgment by the administration that oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — which together have issued more than $1.5 trillion in outstanding debt — is broken. A report by outside investigators in July concluded that Freddie Mac manipulated its accounting to mislead investors, and critics have said Fannie Mae does not adequately hedge against rising interest rates.

”There is a general recognition that the supervisory system for housing-related government-sponsored enterprises neither has the tools, nor the stature, to deal effectively with the current size, complexity and importance of these enterprises,” Treasury Secretary John W. Snow told the House Financial Services Committee in an appearance with Housing Secretary Mel Martinez, who also backed the plan.

I don’t think this was the answer then, and I don’t think it was now, but what’s important to note is the “knee-jerk” response from congressional Democrats…again 2003, 5 years ago…

Significant details must still be worked out before Congress can approve a bill. Among the groups denouncing the proposal today were the National Association of Home Builders and Congressional Democrats who fear that tighter regulation of the companies could sharply reduce their commitment to financing low-income and affordable housing.

”These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ”The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”

Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed.

”I don’t see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing,” Mr. Watt said.

Wait, you mean Bush saw this coming and Democrats said he was wrong?! I don’t know if there’s a clearer instance of dickheaded Democrats reflexively responding in the negative to Bush’s affirmative, and vice versa. Is this the first time this has happened? No…is it the last? Certainly no…

Hey, does anyone remember social security? This is one of those things that George Bush (the Devil for those liberals who might be reading) tried to address, and was berated on every side…there was no problem, he’s breaking the system, he hates old people, he’s Hitler (that last one’s just the norm). Look, I don’t agree with George Bush on everything…I don’t know anyone that does, but the congressional Democrats are children. It disgusts me, the constant finger pointing, chiding, and cognizant dissonance…what Democrats bare the blame for here, is being more concerned with power plays, politics, and pandering (alliteration!) than doing the right thing. If the “right thing” happened to be a shared belief with Bush, they’d choke down their altruism organ, and replace it with their semantics organ.

“Well, what we were saying then…blah blah blah.”

I’m changing my mind officially…
