Today Neil Cavuto and John Stossel took on the 2010 Census and its encroachment into our personal liberties, beyond what is required by the Constitution. Apparently the government 2010 Census workers will come to your house up to 6 times if you don’t answer the survey completely, and after the 6th time they’ll go ask your neighbors. Excuse me? Really???
WTF, man? The Constitution says that I am only obliged to divulge how many people live in this household. No race, no gender, no names, PERIOD! I sent my form in with just that info – the number of folks who live here. Will I answer the door when they come knockin’? Nope. Do I care if they’ll ask my neighbors about me and my sacred abode? Nope. I’ve already talked to my neighbors and we all feel the same. We’ll tell them, by refusing to ‘census-spy,’ to GO. POUND. SAND!
And if I had a lawn, I’d personally yell at them to GET OFF IT!
Oh, and one last thought – these stupid commercials and mailers for the Census are saying we need to fill them out completely to get our “fair share.” Is anyone other than me sick and tired of hearing about peoples’ “fair share?” What makes answering race & income question relevant to getting my community’s “fair share?” Absolutely nothing. I supposed they’re pandering to the parasite class who feels their race or ethnicity should afford them MORE government benefits (read = ‘handouts’) or representation than others. That’s nothing but a bunch of dog squeeze, and appeals only to the entitlement, class-warfare segments of the population.
Eh, so what’s the difference between REAL violent and threatening anti-war protests versus many PEACEFUL non-violent and orderly protests? Apparently one kind gets no MSM media coverage, yet the other kind gets ALL the MSM media attention, riddled with false reports and accusations of N-word & F-word bombs, spitting, and other sorts of unseemly rabblerousing.
Which is which, you might ask? Well, if you have to ask, then you must surely know the answer. Why, it’s the TEA parties, of course, that are the violent, threatening ones… the flag-burning, F-bomb throwing REAL threatening ones that merit no air time whatsoever. The tea partiers? Well, there jsut a bunch of racist homophobic teabaggers who eat small children before the altar of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin every day.
I’ve never seen a group like the Tea Party that is so ridiculed and so mocked as being dumb, but they sure do seem to get a WHOLE lot of negative airtime. If they’re so dumb, how can they merit this sort of attention? Same way Sarah does… the MSM is afraid of both her AND the true grassroots movement that is the Tea Party.
Tonight, Laura Ingraham sat in for Bill O’Reilly, and Liz Cheney of Keep America Safe was on to discuss Gitmo lawyers defending the detainees. Apparently they’re part of an ACLU group called the “John Adams Project,” which is in and of itself, ludicrous. What’s at play here is the fact some of these detainee Gitmo defense attorneyssupplied the detainees photos of CIA operatives, sketches and drawings of Gitmo and the prison layout, and paparazzi-like photos of CIA officers at various locations, including their homes.
I agree with Laura and Liz both that Eric Holder’s Dept. of Justice should be required to disclose the names of the lawyers who formerly worked for the defense of the detainees, yet now are working in the DOJ and will now be involved in the prosecution of these detainees, should they ever be brought to American soil. This cannot stand.
Hi… please forgive the appearance of my site. I have a tag somewhere in the code that is wreaking havoc, and until I can find it, my site is all caddywampus on me. Please bear with me as I work to correct it.
Listen…I’m no fan of Obama, and like Mark Levin, I’d vote for a can of orange juice before I’d vote for Obama in 2012. Somewhere along the way, just because our president is black, videos like this are becoming more mainstream and more acceptable on YouTube and other sites, and it should not be.
This is tastleless to the n’th degree, but if it’s okay for black people to do this, how is anything ANY of the Republican candidates do remotely deemed racist at all?
If this country ever truly wants to progress and become a more civilized nation, why is trash like this even tolerated? I’m not asking for this garbage to be censored, but I’d love to see at least SOME condemnation of things like this to be more prevalent. Can we please all agree this is unacceptable in a civilized world? You cannot condemn one group of people for being allegedly “racist” while simultaneously approving of another group of people for creating videos such as this, villifying a single race of people in the process of glorifying the creators of these videos? One need only search certain terms on YouTube to find thousands of videos like this one. And they’re all equally disgusting.
What say you, Eugene Robinson, Goldie Taylor, Donna Brazile, Marc Lamont Hill, etc., etc.? I’m waiting for you all to openly condemn videos like this on YouTube. If you don’t, then I have no reason to listen to your small and petty complaints of racism from Fox News, Republicans as a whole, and GOP candidates in the 2012 primary. Your silence about videos like this are tacit approval of them.
As is said in many places, “hilarity ensues” (h/t Mediaite):
Frances Martel does a fabulous write-up about it, and I couldn’t have said it any better, so here it is direct from the Mediaite post:
“Are you offended?” O’Reilly asked Harpootlian, who replied that he was not, but that he found the fact that Republicans had “no outreach to African Americans” a problem “in a state where we have an African-American Republican Congressman.” “Adding insult to injury, this debate ignoring Martin Luther King’s birthday!” he added, which made O’Reilly ask who was ignoring the debate and why. The Republicans, Harpootlian replied, because “no one has raised any issue with Fox about it being appropriate or inappropriate.”
O’Reilly then asked whether there was a reason for this– namely, something that happened in 2008. Harpootlian did not remember what happened in 2008 (a Democratic primary debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) and who sponsored it (the Congressional Black Caucus), which prompted several awkward seconds where Harpootlian was obviously caught flat-footed. With this development, O’Reilly then told him that, “by injecting race into this, you do a disservice.” Harpootlian finally replied, blaming Republicans for injecting race into the matter by calling this “the most important election since 1860.” “We in the South have a little different version of that election,” he noted, suggesting that talking to Southerners in such a way was a sort of dog whistle. O’Reilly disagreed and just asked Harpootlian to give it up, adding, “you’re getting killed here!”
Today on Neil Cavuto, radio talk show host and constitutional scholar, Mark Levin was on to discuss his new book, “Ameritopia.”
Levin’s previous book, “Liberty and Tyranny” was a best-seller, as was another book before that titled, “Men in Black.” “Liberty and Tyranny” is a must-read for anybody who wants to know how we got to the point where we are in America today.
I’ve been stewing on this and stewing on this figuring out the right way to convey how I feel about it, and I’ve been struggling with just the right words to describe my sentiment. I read a fabulous screed by Deebow over at BlackFive, but it wasn’t until I saw the headline in a Weekly Standard piece today that quoted Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) on this matter. I couldn’t have said it better myself:
‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
Yes, you got that right. Congressman West has weighed in on this flap over the Marines taking a piss on dead Taliban terrorists, sending an email to the Weekly Standard, who got his permission to print what he said. Here’s a portion of his commentary:
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
I’m not even quite sure that what the Marines did was wrong, but since when in the hell did we become so indignant and self-righteously outraged about treating killers like they deserve to be treated? Sure, they probably shouldn’t have videotaped what they did, but who the hell cares? And don’t give me this “don’t stoop to their level” B.S. either. Until you have been in the shoes of our warriors, or our first responders (cops, firefighters, etc.), or, heck, even ever been a crime victim yourself, you have no idea what you would do, given the same circumstances.
