White House Dares Us Not to Photoshop Photo of President Obama Firing a Gun. Okay. Challenge Accepted


The White House has released a photo showing President Obama shooting a firearm and has said it was not to be manipulated in any way.

After eight years of seeing Lefties manipulate every photo of George W Bush while he was in the White House, I take that as a personal challenge. 

I have willfully manipulated the photo of the President of the United States showing him doing what I truly believe he wished he could do...destroy the US Constitution.

If this photo offends you, I don't care. It didn't offend me when Lefties, Anarchists and Libertarians manipulated photos of George W Bush the eight years he was in office.

This is part of what the American Republic is all about...that we all have the Freedom to say whatever we wish, and mock whomever we wish.


According to Breitbart.com, the White House says the following:


“This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House.”

Okay, feds...come and get me. I disobeyed a direct order from the White House.

If I Had Dollar for Every Bogus Chain Email...

I've just received the Pepsi Flag Hoax Email for the ten thousandth time since 2001. Will people ever learn to stop believing this trash??? I'm posting the email complete with email addresses so the spambots can send these people even more garbage.


This email forward calls on US citizens to boycott the Pepsi Company on the grounds that they are unpatriotic and anti-Christian. It claims that a new "patriotic can" that is to be released has the Pledge of Allegiance on it but omits the words "Under God." Naturally, such a can might raise the ire of patriotic US citizens, especially those that are Christians. Many would feel so strongly about the issue that they would indeed boycott Pepsi products in protest.

However, the claim in the message is completely untrue. Pepsi has no plans for such a can, nor has it ever produced a can that features the Pledge of Allegiance, complete or abridged. It is therefore not surprising that in spite of the fact that the email has been circulating for several years, the alleged Pledge of Allegiance can has not yet made an appearance.

The Pepsi company has published the following statement on its website denying the rumour:

You've received an erroneous email about a "patriotic can" that Pepsi allegedly produced with an edited version of America's Pledge of Allegiance. The truth is, Pepsi never produced such a can. In fact, this is a hoax that has been circulating on the Internet for more than four years. A patriotic package used in 2001 by Dr Pepper (which is not a part of PepsiCo) was inappropriately linked to Pepsi.
This pointless rumour apparently arose from a similar "protest" email surrounding patriotic packaging used by another drink manufacturer, Dr Pepper. The Dr Pepper packaging featured just a few words from the Pledge of Allegiance and these words did not include "Under God". As Pepsi's statement on the issue reveals, Pepsi is in no way affiliated with Dr Pepper and it is unclear how or why Pepsi became the target of later versions of the protest email.


Moreover, it is highly improbable that Dr Pepper intended the omission of "Under God" as any kind of political or anti-Christian message. Back in 2002, Dr Pepper published the following statement clarifying the company's position on the issue...

I just heard one of the weirdest conspiracy theories of all time (and I've heard a lot of them):

It holds that 9/11 was the result of a war between the CIA and the US Military...and the east coast earthquake was caused by the detonation of a nuclear device in a secret tunnel network that was an attempt to stop the CIA from transporting something from Langley, Virginia to their new secret headquarters in Denver, Colorado.

Where do these people come up with this stuff? Why do they?

It is useless to try to argue with these people because they seem to have no firm grasp on reality. I've always thought these people were either mentally disturbed or had a way of making money off selling merchandise related to their conspiracies to the gullible.

Here is a link that several people shared on Twitter that got me started on this rant...

A frightening foreign military intelligence directorate (GRU) report circulating in the Kremlin states that over the past nearly 48 hours the vast intercontinental military tunnel complex constructed ...

From My Email: Some Things Cannot Go Unanswered
My Response to Adam Kokesh being Body Slammed

The Traitor Adam Kokesh

I get a lot of unsolicited email. A lot of it is conspiracy theory hyping chain mails that never seem to die despite having been proven wrong over and over again. A recent email hit a nerve, and I'm posting it and my response for the public record. 


I have removed the name of the sender, but if you are familiar with the local conspiracy theorists, you'll know exactly who sent this particular email.


Adam Kokesh and fellow retards engaged in an illegal protest at the Jefferson Memorial. Here is video of his invite to people to participate in the protest:

The only thing I see wrong with the video is a bunch of retarded children making a scene and disturbing the peace.

As far as Adam Kokesh goes, he is liar. He went around for years claiming to be a Sergeant and failed to inform people that he was demoted to Corporal before being less than honorably discharged for bringing a looted pistol back from Iraq (technically, that makes him a war criminal). He is not even eligible to join the VFW with his DD214 discharge papers.

My Response to Richard Viguerie's Article:
"CHQ Poll Shock: Romney Nomination Would Cause Mass Conservative Flight"


The votes are in, and Mitt Romney is out! While talking heads across the country are calling former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) the front-runner against President Obama, the base is simply not on board. A full 55 percent of conservative activists and Tea Partiers polled by Richard Viguerie’s ConservativeHQ.com responded that they, “would vote for a third-party or independent candidate” if Romney were the nominee.


Source: Richard Viguerie's Conservative HQ


I took exception to this article (having been alerted to it via a post on Twitter. Here is the response I left on Richard's website:



Expanding on my comments on Twitter to this article: 


#1--It is precisely this type of reaction that assisted in Obama win the 2008 election and will (if pursued) re-elect him in 2012. For some reason, 'Republicans' have lately started pursuing courses of action that indicate that they'd rather beat up other republicans than beat up on Democrats. This is a violation of Reagan's 11th Commandment and ignores this quote or Ronald Reagan's:


"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it.
"Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.
I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'
"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it."


I think that Ronald Reagan himself would find it a hard task to win a Republican Primary if he were alive today and running for President. 


#2--You would not have to worry about someone like Mitt Romney winning the primary if there weren't so many self-labeled conservative and 'Tea Party' candidates running. This type of behaviour also helped John McCain (who I consider enemy #1 of the conservative movement) win the 2008 primaries. There are several people now running 9or considering running) who are legitimate conservatives. If they all run, all they will accomplish is diluting the conservative vote out of contention. Not only will they split the vote, they'll split the donations. 
#3--Most people (and a good deal of candidates) who call themselves conservative are manifestly not conservative. I'll bet most o them haven't read (let alone agree with) the works of Edmund Burke, Dr Russell Kirk, or William F Buckley. They neither respect, nor are they familar with, the body of conservative thought over the past few decades. I would identify a good number of the recent self-described conservatives as being primarily a rebirth of the Anti-Federalist movement that opposed the ratification of the US Constitution.

Vice President Joe Biden Says $200 Billion Being Spent on GOP Candidate Ads
Update: Democrat-Favoring Union Actually Spending More Than Republican-Favoring Groups

Vice President Joe Biden claims that 200 billion dollars are being spent on Republican candidate campaigns in the 2010 midterm races.










A partial quote from the video: “I was amazed at the amount of money, this $200 billion of money that is — where there’s no accountability,” Vice President Joe Biden said. “When I say accountability, we don’t know where it’s coming from. There’s no disclosure, so the folks watching the ad can’t make a judgment based upon motive when you say it’s paid for by so-and-so,” he added.


Fact Check: In the 2008 Election Cycle, only $5.3 billion was spent on all federal races, including over a billion on the Presidential race.


Hat Tip: The Drudge Report


I would believe $200 million, perhaps, but not $200 billion. 


**6.14am** The big spender this election cycle is...wait for it...Unions. To the tune of over $87 million, AFSCME, the public-employees union, has vaulted ahead of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to become the largest campaign spender of 2010:
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is now the biggest outside spender of the 2010 elections, thanks to an 11th-hour effort to boost Democrats that has vaulted the public-sector union ahead of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO and a flock of new Republican groups in campaign spending.


The 1.6 million-member AFSCME is spending a total of $87.5 million on the elections after tapping into a $16 million emergency account to help fortify the Democrats' hold on Congress. Last week, AFSCME dug deeper, taking out a $2 million loan to fund its push. The group is spending money on television advertisements, phone calls, campaign mailings and other political efforts, helped by a Supreme Court decision that loosened restrictions on campaign spending.


"We're the big dog," said Larry Scanlon, the head of AFSCME's political operations. "But we don't like to brag."

FAKE TWITTER ACCOUNT LEADS TO SECRET SERVICE INTERVIEW AHEAD OF CLINTON VISIT

Screen Capture of the fake Twitter Account set up by local progressives to mock Chad Nesbitt

This is the tweet that likely started the moronic investigation

This just in from the Buncombe County Republican Party:






FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 20, 2010

Contact:
Chad Nesbitt
Chairman
828-216-0147
chad.nesbitt@buncombegop.org


FAKE TWITTER ACCOUNT LEADS TO SECRET SERVICE INTERVIEW
AHEAD OF CLINTON VISIT

Earlier this evening, Buncombe County GOP Chair Chad Nesbitt was interviewed by the U.S. Secret Service and the Asheville Police Department.  Per the discussion, the contact was initiated in anticipation of former President Bill Clinton's Thursday visit to Asheville.

The contact was cordial, with the Chair assuring the Secret Service and APD that he nor anyone he knows represents a physical threat to Clinton.  "I think he's a scoundrel, but I am delighted that the Democratic power structure thinks he's the proper voice to represent their Party's understanding of our mountain values," said Nesbitt.  "I certainly wish him no physical harm, in fact I am delighted he is coming - it could only be better if Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid were coming to prop up Shuler.  He and his party evidently need a nurse, and we all know that Clinton is good at that.  The only thing Mr. Clinton has to fear from me is illumination of his credentials as an unprincipled person and fast talking advocate for the left's socialistic message of "something for nothing".

"Per discussion with the agent and officer who met with me, their concerns originated with comments on a Twitter account under my name," said Nesbitt.  "I do not have and have never had a Twitter account.  I reported this false account several weeks ago to the Buncombe County Sheriff's Department.  They consulted with Buncombe County District Attorney Ron Moore, who I understand refused to take action.  Per that lack of accountability, this situation reached a point of seriousness requiring Secret Service action.  I hope the Buncombe County Sheriff Department and Mr. Moore will now realize the seriousness of this matter and act on my complaint.  I will, again, make a formal request for action."

"The law enforcement officers I met with were respectful and indicated their concerns had been addressed," noted Nesbitt.  "I appreciate the Secret Service doing their job to protect our former President.  I am doing mine in turning on the lights."

For further information about the Buncombe County Republican Party, visitwww.buncombegop.org. Or call 828-216-0147.

Commentary


Personally, I think the Secret Service must be hiring retarded people if they didn't know that the twitter account was fake. When I say retarded, I mean that I think they scored lower than Congressman Shuler did on his Wonderlic. This indeed causes me to fear for the safety of our former Presidents. 


Take a look at the fake twitter account before it's creators take it down.

Debunking 2012 with logic! Featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson






It is a sad thing that there are so many ignorant people that believe the doomsday prophecies and other lies that have been circulating regarding the end of the long count Mayan Calender. 




What is even sadder, from my point of view, is that these people cast a ballot that is worth exactly the same as mine. 


More on the idiocy from Wikipedia:



The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012,[1][2][3] which is said to be the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mayan Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae related to this date have been proposed, but none have been accepted by mainstream scholarship.
New Age interpretation of this transition posits that during this time, Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era.[4] Others suggest that the 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. Scenarios posited for the end of the world include the Earth's collision with a passing planet (often referred to as "Nibiru") or black hole, or the arrival of the next solar maximum.
Scholars from various disciplines have dismissed the idea that a catastrophe will happen in 2012, stating that predictions of impending doom are found neither inclassic Maya accounts. Mainstream Mayanist scholars state that the idea that the Long Count calendar "ends" in 2012 misrepresents Maya history.[3][5] Themodern Maya, on the whole, have not attached much significance to the date, and the classical sources on the subject are scarce and contradictory, suggesting that there was little if any universal agreement among them about what, if anything, the date might mean.[6]
Astronomers and other scientists have rejected the apocalyptic forecasts, on the grounds that the anticipated events are precluded by astronomical observations, or are unsubstantiated by the predictions that have been generated from these findings.[7] NASA has compared fears about 2012 to those about the Y2K bug in the late 1990s, suggesting that an adequate analysis should preclude fears of disaster.[7]
