Gene Simmons recently appeared on CNBC, talking about Obama’s Mideast Foreign Policy speech; especially as it deals with his take on Israel, and the suggestion they must go back to the pre-1967 borders. Here’s a partial transcript, h/t my buddy Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters:
JANE WELLS, CNBC: What do you think of President Obama’s suggestion that the borders be redrawn pre-67?
GENE SIMMONS, KISS: President Obama, I voted for an idea. What I didn’t realize what I was getting was an idealist. If you’ve never been to the moon, you can’t issue policy about the moon. You have no f—king idea what it’s like on the moon. For a president to be sitting in Washington, D.C., and saying, “Go back to your 67 borders in Israel,” how about you live there and try to defend an indefensible border nine miles wide? On one side you’ve got hundreds of millions of people who hate your guts, on the other side you’ve got the Mediterranean. Unless you control, in Israel, unless you control those Golan Heights, it’s an indefensible position.
It’s a nice idea, when you grow up you find out that life isn’t the way you imagined it, and President Obama means well. I think he’s actually a good guy. He has no f—king idea what the world is like because he doesn’t have to live there.
I grew up loving KISS, and I continue, to this day, to love KISS; especially Gene Simmons. In an episode called “Face Your Demons” of his reality TV show “Family Jewels,” Gene and Shannon went to the Netherlands and visited the Anne Frank House. A description of the episode from the A&E website:
Today at “high noon” it Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park, Herman Cain made his big announcement about the 2012 Presidential Election – he’s IN IT TO WIN IT! John Roberts of Fox News caught up with Herman after the event and did a brief interview with him.
Here’s the entire video of Herman’s speech today, courtesy of C-SPAN.
I’m making it official also for myself: my candidate for the GOP ticket for 2012 is Herman Cain.
The first segment of this piece is focused on illegal immigrants who are bitching and moaning about having to pay out-of-state tuition, which is part of the construct of HB 87. They briefly interview a female illegal immigrant student who laments that college is not going to be as affordable as she’d like. Since when the hell did education become a right? And you all have the NERVE to equate your struggles with “Brown vs. Board of Education?” Seriously? The new GA law is not requiring separate schools for illegal Mexicans and whites; it’s only enforcing the dang Federal laws that already exist.
What part of “illegal” are you guys not understanding? Why do you think you have a right to anything? You’re here in the country ILLEGALLY, so why are you expecting the red carpet to be rolled out for you? Out-of-state tuition should be the LEAST of your complaints. You should be happy your asses aren’t in JAIL!
Now to address the second segment in the video: the “sanctuary” businesses who are supporting the illegal criminal invaders under this guise of compassion. “Somos Georgia” is a group that needs to be exposed, and for all the businesses who participate in this nonsense need to understand that their “sanctuary” policies will garner them the opposite attention than what they want – can you say “boycott?”
If you haven’t seen the repulsive “mediscare” ad I’m referring to, you will in this segment fromm Neil Cavuto’s show today. Erica Payne, member of a group called “The Agenda Project.” Um, yeah, I’d say that’s pretty fitting.
I guess if you want to really scare seniors, create an ad showing someone pushing their grandmother over a cliff. Yeah, that’s gonna really go over well with the public. /sarc
This woman is so ignorant I cannot believe Neil was so nice to her. It really doesn’t surprise me, however, hearing that she is inspired by her friend, the “Reverend” Jim Wallis (look him up). She so buys into his “social justice” garbage that she has to mention his name twice.
And what is this deal with the budget of this country being a “moral” issue? Seriously! How do these people think we’re going to be able to take care of ANYBODY when we have run completely out of money, or countries refuse to loan us any more? You can’t do squat when you have no money. Last time I tried to pay my rent by telling my landlord “can you please just give me a break this time? It’s the moral thing to do.” Yeah, she didn’t buy that either. And I’ve never been able to buy anything with an idea.
For those Atlas fans of you out there, don’t you think Ms. Payne could benefit from just a bit of Francisco’s money speech? Yeah, so do I.
With Herman Cain rising in popularity in the 2012 election cycle, I just HAD to find this video of his appearance at the inaugural rally for the FairTax in Gwinnett County, GA in 2006! (It’s not the greatest quality, but it’ll do.) I am urging everyone to look into Herman Cain more and get to know him.
He’s a rising star, and I think he has what it takes to make America great again. Of course he hasn’t held elective office before, but that, to me, is what makes him so attractive. The American government IS a business, so isn’t it time we HAVE a businessman in office to run this country? God knows he couldn’t do any worse than Obama has done… in fact, I am ANXIOUS and awaiting with baited breath to see him SLAY Obama in a debate!
From all your fans in Georgia, Mr. Cain… ‘H-I-T-M, Herman!’
And oh… doesn’t hurt that he’s a FairTax proponent, does it?
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.
