Punting the Pundits

You pathetic people, don't you know how to be a Christian? Must we go to the master for lessons again? Fine, let's get it on, Christian Hartsock style! Shelby Tse will guide you on a spiritual journey, where you will emerge a reborn Christian!

Love letters from the left

Sounds DE-LIGHTFUL

Since the birth of my website, www.ChristianHartsock.com, scores of indignant liberal snobs desperate for attention have been expressing their disapproval in vicious, hateful e-mails replete with name-calling and ad hominem attacks (in other words: manifestations of liberal ingenuity).

Here we go! Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) is not one to seek out attention. That's why Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) only writes a column every month instead of doing something more, such as preparing to make a movie about how Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) is being oppressed by Liberals. This shows HUMILITY, something LIEberals do not have. Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) is the posterboy for humility, heck, if Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) didn't mention his name or website constantly, we'd never have heard of him.

Sadly for Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com), he has to deal with indignant liberal snobs who use name-calling and ad hominem attacks. These indignant liberal snobs don't know any better, what with them being indignant liberal snobs who can only argue with name-calling and ad hominem attacks. Luckily Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) has a better command of the English language, as the fact-filled arguments in his opening paragraph attest to.

While each one of my columns since February 2005 has prompted liberals to jump up from their seats, stick their heads out their windows and shout, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" none of them stirred as much controversy as my March 2006 column, "Hitler Was a Liberal" as well as my most recent column, "The Politics of the Bedroom."

At this point, I will emplore Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) to please stop writing his column, for if what he says is true, there may be loss of life by old neighbors of these shouting liberals. Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com)'s constantly monthly barage has singlehandedly pulled George W. Bush's poll numbers up 17 points. Without him, we would be lost. Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) is humble enough to not take credit for the massive swing toward conservativism that has been happening the past year, but we all know he is the sole reason. Liberals just can't stop reading his columns, because deep down we all know they are the truth.

Nothing will contest liberals' belief that the only thing distinguishing Mein Kempf from Mere Christianity is the fact that C.S. Lewis was a smoker.

Yes. All liberals are 100% Godless heathens who hate Jesus and hate CS Lewis even more, because he had the gall to smoke. As all liberals do is poke their heads into other people's business, the Democrats are planning to dig up CS Lewis's corpse next week to publicly chastise him for his unhealthy habits.

For these grave injustices and the many that preceded them in earlier columns, liberals have demonstrated their collective intellectual prowess by ingeniously telling me that I am a closet homosexual, a Nazi-sympathizer, a racist, a "wing-nut," a "sophist," a "yellow chicken hawk," a "poor deluded soul," a "f---ing loon," an "ass," and a "Jew-hater," to name only a few. One liberal went so far as to attack my family, and another liberal who won the spelling bee as a child told me to "get a hooker, dood, you need help," (so is that where liberals get their "help"?) only to end his e-mail by saying "F--k you very much."

Sorry, dood, I was drunk. Luckily for us, Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) is far too good to drop down to the level of namecalling present in these indignant liberal snobs.

Liberals think that they are showing true decency and class despite the filthy, vile things they say to people they disagree with on the basis that they are saying them in the interest of gracing misled conservatives with the truth. This makes about as much sense as a sewer rat claiming to have decency and class on the basis of the fact that it won't show its belly button on national television.

This Sewer Rat analogy is the perfect foil that will drive those indignant liberal snobs insane as they see the truth.

All these liberals have proven, you see, is that they have no concept of class and decency. No wonder they think Al Franken is a reliable source of "the truth." Of course, I have been accused in the past of lumping all "liberals" together and making sweeping blanket statements about them. But here is where I'd like to take an opportunity to make it clear that I believe there are two totally separate breeds of "liberals." There are, for instance, what I like to call the Barbara Streisand liberals — the liberals who are the way they are because they just don't know any better — liberals like Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins — an actor who once even thought for a moment that he was a broadcast weatherman when he forecasted a "chill wind blowing through this nation." You see? They don't know any better.

Those poor indignant liberal snobs, having to live with their ignorance. What are the other types of liberals?

But then there are the spastic, malevolent demagogues with the Great Wall of China bulging out of their foreheads and blood dripping from their teeth, shaking in their seats with a demonic urgency to commit mass murder against the fetal underdogs, ban God from the public square, destroy traditional institutions to accommodate to male-on-male sodomy and lesbian fisting and condemn brain-damaged hospital patients to long days of thirst, hunger, seizures and nosebleeds all in the name of "progress." These are the liberals who are liberals out of contempt for everything good, holy and pure in life. These are liberals who want to destroy society rather than make it "better" as the good liberals intend to do. To name a few: Michael Newdow, DNC Chairman Howard Dean, ACLU executive director Anthony Romero, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, Florida Circuit Judge George Greer, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and Senator Ted Kennedy, just to name a few.

Those horrible monsters! It's like a horror movie, with blood-thristy zombies roving the countryside looking for fetuses and Schaivos to feed on while good men like Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) can only hide from their terror. Thank Jesus that Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) is there to stand up to them. Doing as Jesus would do, Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) makes sure to call a spastic, malevolent demagogue a spastic, malevolent demagogue.

Lesbian Fisting!

I have received mail from both types of liberals, but most of my hate mail has come from the angry savages who should probably be locked up in bamboo cages like Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now. I did, however, receive one e-mail from someone whom I will not label, who noted that "the level of hatred" I spew in my columns is "appalling" and "far from biblical." The writer suggested that I take some time off from my "hate-mongering" to actually read the Bible.

Doesn't the email writer know that God killed firstborn sons, drowned Pharoh's armies, killed all of Job's kids, turned Lot's wife into salt, destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, flooded the world, and sents some bears to kill children. What Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) is doing is nothing near what God commands. In fact, Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com) should step up and get to smiting! Where are the raining of frogs, Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com)?

Well, having read the Bible through and through several times, I can say this: There is such a thing as righteous anger. In fact, in many cases, it is wise to adopt the wrath of God when observing the conditions of the societies in which we reside. Psalm 4:4 says, "In your anger do not sin," not "In your anger do not be angry." Dr. Martin Luther King once said, "To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it," well I say to not express wide-eyed outrage over evil is to ignore it.

Not ignoring evil is why we do what we do here, which is why we don't ignore Christian Hartsock (www.ChristianHartsock.com), but instead mock him. Calling Chickenhawk's on their hypocracy is a fun job, I'd even do it if I wasn't commanded to by my Godless Liberal Overlords who drip blood from their teeth after snacking upon the unborn.

Hi, y'all, Shelby Tse here with some salt for the wound!

Ben Shaprio is wrong. So what else is new? But now I can rub some stuff in his face! Remember when Ben Shapiro went all Kos-crazy? Gentle Ben predicted:

Now there's antiwar Connecticut Senate candidate Ned Lamont, whom Moulitsas predicts will defeat Joe Lieberman in the party primary. He'll lose.

Sorry, Ben, the worm is turning. The wind has shifted. The morons are getting tossed out by an enraged populace. It's time for you to eat some crow. Might I suggest topping it with whip cream? It covers up the aftertaste of the feathers.

Now on to Ben's column for this week. Virgin Ben has jokingly called it "Open letter to the mainstream media" but we're renaming it "Open letter to call for death from above onto innocent babies, because they deserve it!" Ben is upset that the media would dare report that people die in war! After Ben's usual partisan garbage about how the MSM would be telling Tojo secrets and sharing Jagermeister with Hitler after announcing D-Day, he goes on his usual calls for bloodbaths.

Since the days of Napoleon, armies have routinely drawn support from civilian populations. There is no way to win a war without also devastating a certain amount of the civilian population. The more popular the enemy force, the more devastation is necessary. We didn't simply defeat the Japanese military in World War II -- we absolutely devastated Japan's ability to make war.

Yes, it is necessary to devestate civilians, because of Japan. Soon the few people left in Lebanon will be making cars and tenticle porn, all thanks to getting their children bombed and bombed again until they surrendered. This isn't a jab at World War 2, but is a jab at Ben's calling for civilian deaths.

You made complete fools of yourselves at Qana

Uh, "Pallywood" or "Hezbollywood" or whatever stupid name is has is a myth as far as Qana is concerned (I am not arguing that media manipulation does not go on, both sides are guilty of it) There were innocent casulties, despite what Powerline Bloggers/Michelle Malkin/liars want you to think. Evidence of a cover up is nil, and Powerline even initially lied about the numbers, forgetting to count ten dead adult males. (or too dumb to do the math) But, hey, the dead here just won Isreal the war, right Ben? Oh, we need to kill more children to win? Okay!

Lesson #6: War is not about proportionality. Knitting is about proportionality. War is about winning.

well, now we know what Ben does with all his spare time.

Lesson #7: Hatred is not a synonym for justification. Don't pretend that because Islamists hate us, they are justified in that hatred. Yes, Islamists hate America and Israel. So what? Nazis weren't particularly fond of Jews. Just because one group hates another group doesn't mean the first group is justified in its hatred.

That's interesting that you bring up hate, since your entire column is a hate-filled rant against the media and anyone Muslim. But I guess you are justified in hating the Muslims, while the Muslims must be crazy to have any reason to oppose the US's foreign policy. Can't they just get exploited peacefully? Maybe if we just kill more of their babies, they will surrender and build us some TVs.

Those dirty Japanese Chinese/Russian Islamists are salivating at the mouth waiting to hit us with an EMP pulse, plunging the nation into the cancelled TV show Dark Angel! Beware!

Our Nation at Risk:
The Threat of EMP
by Chuck Missler

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), triggered by a high-altitude detonation of a nuclear weapon, poses a considerable threat to our national security and is one of a small number of weapons that could be used to bring the whole of America to its knees. An EMP attack would strike what has become the United States' Achilles heel - its relatively unprotected, yet vital, technological infrastructure.

An electromagnetic pulse is generated when a nuclear weapon is detonated above the earth's surface (at altitudes between 40-400 km). In such instances, the nuclear blast would interact with the Earth's atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetic field to produce an EMP. In addition to the direct effects of the blast, the EMP would impact electrical systems across a wide geographical area. The amount of damage depends primarily on the altitude of the blast and the size of the nuclear warhead.

Our growing dependence upon computers and other electrical systems has made us especially vulnerable to an electromagnetic pulse attack.

An EMP could cripple the U.S. by knocking out electrical power, telecommunications and transportation, along with banking and financial networks. The loss of power would also limit our access to fuel and emergency services, as well as food and water supplies. Systems could be down for weeks, months, or even years. It would be as if the United States slipped back into the 19th century - before the advent of cell phones, computers, microwaves and many of the other modern conveniences on which we now depend.

It has been nearly a year since the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack released its findings. Its assessment was largely overshadowed by the report of the 9/11 commission, and thus did not garner much attention from the mainstream media. Dr. Lowell L. Wood, acting chairman of the commission, described the nature of an EMP attack:

"...electromagnetic pulses propagate from the burst point of the nuclear weapon to the line of sight on the Earth's horizon, potentially covering a vast geographic region...simultaneously, at the speed of light. For example, a nuclear weapon detonated at an altitude of 400 kilometers over the central United States would cover, with its primary electromagnetic pulse, the entire continent of the United States and parts of Canada and Mexico."

Senator Jon Kyl, who chairs the Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology, and Homeland Security, wrote the following about the EMP threat in the April 15 edition of the Washington Post:

An electromagnetic pulse attack on the American homeland is one of only a few ways that the United States could be defeated by its enemies - terrorist or otherwise. And it is probably the easiest. A single Scud missile, carrying a single nuclear weapon, detonated at the appropriate altitude, would interact with the Earth's atmosphere, producing an electromagnetic pulse radiating down to the surface at the speed of light. Depending on the location and size of the blast, the effect would be to knock out already stressed power grids and other electrical systems across much or even all of the continental United States, for months if not years.

Few if any people would die right away. But the loss of power would have a cascading effect on all aspects of U.S. society. Communication would be largely impossible. Lack of refrigeration would leave food rotting in warehouses, exacerbated by a lack of transportation as those vehicles still working simply ran out of gas (which is pumped with electricity). The inability to sanitize and distribute water would quickly threaten public health, not to mention the safety of anyone in the path of the inevitable fires, which would rage unchecked. And as we have seen in areas of natural and other disasters, such circumstances often result in a fairly rapid breakdown of social order.

Starfish Prime

The existence of the electromagnetic pulse has been known since the 1940s, when nuclear weapons were being developed and tested. However, because of a lack of data, the effects of an EMP were not fully known until 1962. At this time, the United States was conducting a series of high-altitude atmospheric tests, code named "Operation Fishbowl," in the Pacific Proving Ground. On July 9, 1962, a test known as "Starfish Prime" was conducted near Johnston Island at an altitude of about 400 kilometers. This 1.4 megaton bomb caused an EMP that disrupted radio stations, destroyed street lights, shut down automobiles and wreaked havoc on electrical equipment throughout the Hawaiian Islands, some 1,400 kilometers away from the site of the blast!

The explosion even disrupted radio equipment as far away as Australia (the cause of the malfunctions was kept quiet). Consequently, in 1963, the United States and the Soviet Union signed the Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty to counter the considerable threat posed by EMPs.

Researchers concluded that the electrical disturbances caused by Starfish Prime were the result of something known as the Compton Effect, theorized by physicist Arthur Compton in 1925. (Compton's assertion was that photons of electromagnetic energy could knock loose electrons from atoms with low atomic numbers.)

Photons from the nuclear blast's intense gamma radiation knocked a large number of electrons free from oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the atmosphere. This flood of electrons interacted with the Earth's magnetic field to create a fluctuating electric current, which induced a powerful magnetic field. The resulting electromagnetic pulse induced intense electrical currents in conductive materials over a wide area.

I recently had a discussion with Dr. William Graham, who is regarded as one of the most senior analysts within the "strategic community." He highlighted that an EMP device over the Midwest could disable the electric and electronic services to over 70% of the population.
Non-Nuclear EMP Weapons

It is important to note that an EMP of a lesser magnitude can be generated without the use of a nuclear weapon. The United States most likely has various non-nuclear EMP weapons or "e-bombs" in its arsenal, but it is not clear in what form. If they do indeed exist, they are still classified. However, we do know that much of the United States' EMP research is conducted at a laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico and involves high-power microwaves. According to a study done for the Australian Air Force, the most likely way of creating weaponized high-powered microwaves is through a device known as a vircator.

Because the source of the energy is a compact explosive, a vircator could fit inside bombs or cruise missiles. Deployed, they could disrupt a variety of enemy systems, from missile targeting and launch electronics to command-and-control systems. It is possible that they could penetrate hundreds of meters below the ground and reach underground bunkers. Larger, reusable weapons are also being developed for use on ships to disable incoming missiles such as China's Silkworm.

An Imminent Threat

Both China and Russia are capable of executing an EMP attack. Furthermore, we know that both nations have considered the use of an EMP as part of a strategy to defeat the United States in battle. Russia in particular has a sophisticated understanding of EMP. During the test era, the Soviet Union did high-altitude atmospheric tests over its own territory, impacting civilian infrastructures. In May 1999, during the NATO bombing of the former Yugoslavia, high-ranking members of the Russian Duma alluded to a Russian EMP attack that could paralyze the United States.

However, according to some experts, the more imminent threat to the U.S. is not Russia or China, but rogue states such as Iran and North Korea - and their terrorist allies. CIA Director Porter Goss recently testified before Congress about nuclear material missing from storage sites in Russia that may have found its way into terrorist hands, and FBI Director Robert Mueller has confirmed intelligence that suggests al Qaida is trying to acquire and use weapons of mass destruction. An EMP would have adverse effects on a larger geographical area and could be more easily orchestrated than a targeted nuclear attack on an American city. For this and other reasons, terrorists and rogue nations that possess relatively unsophisticated missiles armed with nuclear weapons may find an EMP to be the most effective means of assault.

Terrorists planning to launch a nuclear weapon over American soil may sound like the plot of a Hollywood movie, but this isn't science fiction. The threat of an EMP attack is very real.

Thomas C. Schelling, an economist and professor of foreign affairs, national security, nuclear strategy and arms control at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy, once wrote that we have "a tendency in our planning to confuse the unfamiliar with the improbable. The contingency we have not considered looks strange; what looks strange is therefore improbable; what seems improbable need not be considered seriously."

Those words were written in regards to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In that instance, American forces were taken by surprise and the result was catastrophic. Have we learned from our mistake or is history destined to repeat itself? Will we once again be taken by surprise by our adversaries? To some, an electromagnetic pulse may seem strange or even improbable, but we would be foolish not to take it seriously.

Howdy, Y'all, Shelby Tse here with some life lessons you need to leard: How to misuse the Bible to justify whatever the hell you want! The Church of White Supremacy does it. Fred Phelps does it. Slave owners did it. And now, David Barton at Christian Worldview Network is doing it, to tell us how the Bible is opposed to Federal Income Taxes.

Now, you might be thinking to yourself "Self, wasn't Jesus around 1800 years before America, what is he doing talking about our tax structure?" Then you'd be right, unless you buy what David Barton is shoveling. It's a fun run of straw-grasping and misusing parables to mean whatever you say they do. It's so fun, we must get started with it!

Capital Gains Taxes
The Capital Gains Tax, which is a tax on profits, actually penalizes a person for success the more profit you make the more you have to pay (i.e., the more profit a person makes the higher tax rate they pay on that profit/windfall from an investment). However, In the Bible, the more profit you make the more you are rewarded. Both the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) and the parable of the minas (Luke 19:12-27) conflict with the notion of a tax on capital gains. “For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.” In other words, the Bible implies that those who do well (invest) with what they have will be given more.

I'm sure when Jesus told us about the parable of the talents, he was specifically talking about Captical Gains Taxes in the US 2000 years later. Remember Luke 56:34? "Thou shalt support a regressive tax structureth, for it is what Ronald Reagan would doeth."

Hey, so what is the Parable of the Talents? Just about every interpitation of the Parable of the Talents I've ever heard, and encountered after some Googling to see if some other group was learning it different, was that you should use the skills God gives you. That has ZERO to do with taxes, unless your skills include paying taxes. Please note the skills do not include skipping taxes, for that is stealing (from the government and from your fellow citizens) and thus violates the eighth commandment. (Thou Shalt not Steal, for those of you playing along at home)

The Parable of the Minas is similar, except the master gives each of his servents an equal amount of money (a coin called a Minas, hence the name of the parable) Once again, it's telling you to use what God gives you, not rallying against taxes on the investments you make with your Minas. If you don't use what it given to you, you will lose everything. Using David Barton's interpetation that the Minas means rich people should be rewarded with more money, then he'd also agree that his interpetation commands that all poorer people must have all their possessions forcibly taken from them and enslaved to serve the rich.

Wages
The parable of the landowner and laborers (Matthew 20:1-16) is applicable to the employer/employee relationship and the issue of wages. The landowner hires workers at different times of the day and yet pays each worker the same amount at the end of the day. When the workers hired first complain, the landowner replies, “Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things?” (“things” is translated as “money” in some versions) There is an implication that the landowner had a right to determine the wages his workers received, as well as an implication that the workers could accept or reject the landowner's offer of work. James 5:4 provides a balance in that the Lord hears the cries of the laborers who are cheated out of wages they are due.

The Parable Of The Landowner is, once again, grossly misused here. The normal interpetation is where the Landowner represents God and tells how he keeps his promises, while also showing his grace. This caused a response of envy in the laborers that had been working all day, as they recieved the same reward as the workers who had only been called in the eleventh hour. The parable is a warning against jelously against the grace of others, when others receive rewards while you do not. It is not a straight attack on wages, or the minimum wage, or whatever thing David Barton was trying to justify here.

Income Taxes
The current income tax structure in the United States mandates a higher tax rate or percentage the more a person makes. This tax system is contradicted by scripture, especially Exodus 30:11-15, which provided a “half a shekel” tax for everyone numbered. Verse 15 states: “The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel.” In addition, the Biblical Tithe is not applied progressively, rather it is applied equally to everyone (“And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's. It is holy to the Lord. . . .And concerning the tithe of the herd or the flock, of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord.” Leviticus 27:30,32).

Well, considering how wordy parts of the Bible was and when it was written, having a chart of progressive percentages for tithers to pay would be way to complicated, and make the entire religion seem to center around getting money. Besides that, the major problem David Barton makes is comparing the church to the Federal Government. The rich get more results from their money, and can use it more to more advantage. It's only fair that they pay a bigger share, they can afford it, and they profit from the same services the poor do. The massive amount of wealth owned by the rich creates at disparity that can get too one-sided, but progressive taxes help correct the problem. The rich still have plenty of money. If we want to do everything the Bible says, then where is David Barton's column urging women to live in an unclean hut during their time of the month?

Inheritance Taxes
The Bible speaks to the issue of inheritance numerous times. Proverbs 13:22 states “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children” (something that is not likely with the current Estate Tax which can take up to 55% of an estate, leaving 45% to the children; when the children pass it on to the grandchildren, up to 55% of the remaining 45% can be taken, leaving only 27% of the original that would be passed on to the “children's children”). Ezekiel 46:18 states that “the prince shall not take any of the people's inheritance by evicting them from their property; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people may be scattered from his property.” Other scriptures that deal with inheritance are Proverbs 19:14, I Chronicles 28:8, and Ezra 9:12.

"Thou shalt give Paris Hilton her moneys, for her Interneth tape pleaseth the Lord." First, David Barton must be insane, thinking that the Estate Tax wipes out everyone's savings. In fact, it only applies when you have over $2 million, and even then on the amount over $2 million. The exemption will go up again in a few years, and there will even be a year with no Estate Tax (in which an exorbant amount of old rich guys will mysteriously die, just you watch) before everything resets. That's enough time to get some competent Democrats in charge to set an exemption scale of around $5 million, which will be enough to shut up most people for a while. What is sad, is I think David Barton is well aware of this fact. Instead, he uses some fuzzy math, including the 55% on the 45% number to claim that grandkids will only get 27% of someone's inheritance. This is ignoring the $2million exemption, and the fact that there will be years and decades in between where the money will be invested in order to make even more money. The few people this applies to have so much money it doesn't even matter. David Barton seems to be Bearing False Witness with these suspicious omissions. Where's your column about that, Mr. Barton? Oh, that's right, you only write things demanding rich people get more money. It's what Jesus did.

Shelby Tse is back with more information about our new overlords, the government of the North American Union! As some of you may recall, Jerome Corsi has been blowing the lid off this hidden superstate government that not only threatens US sovereignty, but even our greenbacks! Yes, the NAU will be replacing good old George Washington with the Amero. The evidence for this speaks for itself. Just look at the facts!

Fact #1 There's a big truckstop in Kansas City. It's true. It's called KC Smartport, and it's existance is a threat to America. Because Mexican goods could be brought in here, thus getting into the country.

Fact #2 That Fox-backed guy won the Mexican Election. The other guy was a Commie nut, but Fox's man will continue Vicente Fox's dastardly plan of having a highway from Mexico to Kansas City, thus destroying America.

Fact #3 The Minutemen are considered a thread by the US Government. Therefore, they must be on to something, as the US Federal Government should be welcoming their racist xenophobia and drunken redneckery. Since they don't, it must be a North American Union conspiracy.

Fact #4 Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, has discovered the horrible sercret of the NAU and is backing off. WND has the scoop. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala, is also looking into it.

Fact #5 US Trucking jobs are being outsourced to India. Jerome R. Corsi reports once again on this important issue. This has nothing to do with the national shortage of truck drivers, and entirely to do with the NAU Superstate.

Fact #6 This whole plan is pushed by a Globalist named Johnny Amero. JOhnny Amero's secret plan is to get his face on the Five Amero coin. We must oppose Johnny Amero and his evil deeds.

People such as Chuck Baldwin know the score. Why does the Federal Government continue to try to destroy America?

All these facts point out one simple fact: These people are nuts. But, as long as they buy this crap, they aren't invading Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt, Ecuador, Zaire, and Zamunda. And that's the best we can hope for until 2006.

The MP3

Fun stuff

He must get sick a lot.

Shelby Tse here with another slice of conservative pie. Cow pie, that is! Today's nugget is from Doug Patton, who has had stuff published on the internet, and even in a newspaper or two! Doug Patton also has many opinionated opinions, many of which are wrong. But poor Doug gets so fed up with everyday life, so he's decided to lash out!

Things I’m Sick of Hearing
May 31, 2006 07:39 AM EST

As I write this, today feels like a day to just “vent,” so here goes…

I’m sick of hearing about high gas prices. The national media is obsessed with the issue, hoping that the more stories they run about big, evil, price-gouging oil companies versus poor, victimized, SUV-driving consumers, the more the American people simultaneously will learn to hate their gas guzzling vehicles and President George W. Bush.

So the Media is in a conspiracy to destroy innocent oil companies and God-fearing President George W. Bush. The media is doing so because they hate America, Bush, big companies, and Doug Patton.

I’m sick of hearing that the president’s low poll numbers are due to his handling of the war on terror, especially the war in Iraq. If the self-righteous inventors of The News would stick their heads out of their ivory towers long enough to see past their own political prejudices, they would realize that the president’s poll ratings are, in large part, the result of his own abandonment of virtually every conservative constituency he has asked to trust him for the last six years. With the exception of modest (and so far temporary) tax cuts and a couple of seemingly solid Supreme Court appointments (one of which had to be forced upon him), there is precious little in the president’s domestic agenda for a social and/or fiscal conservative to love.

Yes, the 100% conservative US is punishing George W. Bush because he's not being conservative enough! It's not due to the glorious mission to bomb brown people, the high gas prices, the ineffective legislature, the failure of his domestic policies, of Katrina fallout. It's all because he hasn't eliminated taxes, expelled all immigrants, made it illegal to divorce, turned women into property, turned us into a theocracy, and killed all the media.

I’m sick of hearing Ted Kennedy tell me how unfair it is that the rich have more than the poor. When he redistributes his portfolio among the less fortunate, then I might have a modicum of respect for the old windbag. Until then, he can just shut up and keep his greedy hands off my modest income.

Ted Kennedy, rich hypocrite. He must have less than a penny to his name I'll listen to him about giving money to the poor. And even then, I'll tell him to get lost.

Likewise, I’m sick of hearing John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Arlen Specter and Chuck Hagel blather on about what is fair and decent and right, as if only they have the righteous understanding to know such things.

Only Doug Patton is allowed to talk about what is right, and probably President George W. Bush as well, but not always.

I’m sick of hearing that everyone has a right to be proud of his or her race, creed, gender, sexual preference, marital status, religion and national origin — everyone except happily married conservative white male heterosexual Christian Americans.

Yeah! Wait, who's saying that?

I’m sick of hearing that Islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a radical few. Of the approximately 1.5 billion Muslims in the world today, it has been estimated that at least 150 million of them are in support of the goals of worldwide terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda. That’s a pretty big hijacking. If ten percent of American Christians supported abortion clinic bombers, we would all be under surveillance.

Islam isn't a religion of peace because some people who are Islamic are also for bombs. But Christians are fine to like violence as long as it's less than 10%. I wasn't aware of the 10% Rule, maybe it's in Leviticus or something...

I’m sick of hearing political correctness on every TV show. King Solomon was right when he said there is nothing new under the sun, but come on, Hollywood, get an idea in your heads that doesn’t involve bashing Republicans, conservatives, pro-lifers, businessmen, Christians, the Pentagon or the NSA.

Yeah, just look at the movies this week. Pirates of the Carribean totally attacked the Pentagon. Superman Returns was a slap in the face of the NSA, Little Man is an affront to conservatives, The Devil Wears Prada is obviously attacking Christians, Cars promotes abortion with it's talking car ideas.

I’m sick of hearing about all the jobs that Americans won’t do. Yank all the “safety nets” out from under able-bodied Americans and just watch how quickly they will take those jobs.

Eliminating Welfare and Social Security=100% employment

I’m sick of hearing that millions of illegal aliens cannot be removed from our country. Make it a felony to be here and a felony to hire them and watch how quickly they leave.

Yes, then we won't even have to pay to deport them, Illegal Immigrants will see that they may go to jail and thus flee America. Or perhaps their choices are America or family starves. That's not really a choice. But simple answers are all Doug Patton likes. Who care about building up Mexico's economy so immigrants have less reason to leave, we just need to jail all 20 million of them. The only thing that makes sense here is prosecuting those who hire illegals, something the government doesn't do enough.

I’m sick of hearing that requiring people to learn English is discriminatory. You bet it is, and that is a good thing. I was raised to believe that discriminating people were ones with high standards. We have made the word “discriminate” synonymous with “bigotry.” That is nonsense.

Discrimination=good

Finally, I’m sick of hearing that America is a nation of immigrants. I welcome anyone from anywhere who yearns to legally breathe free and who will swear allegiance to my country, but don’t call me an immigrant. My ancestors have been in this country since well before the Civil War, and my wife’s ancestry extends back before the founding of this nation. Read my lips: as for me and my house, we are not immigrants. We are Americans!

I'm not an immigrant, I've been here 150 years! Screw the Indians! Wait, my argument just made it illegal to hire me, and to be me, since I'm an illegal immigrant on Indian land! Oh, crap! NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Until next time, Doug!

Michelle's latest HotAir "vent" against La Raza was spectacular due to her attacks on George Bush and Carl Rove, amazing considering the "vents" where she defends them from crazy Liberals.

This is about immigration, of course, and Michelle hates Mexicans. The real fun begins when you delve into the reader comments. The internet is a wonderful tool, but besides allowing everyone on the planet to communicate, it allows everyone on the planet to communicate. And some of those people are morons.

Actual Comments:

My blood boils again. This is sickening to watch our country die slowly at the hands of invaders. The revolutionary war, the civil war, 2 world wars….all those deaths for the USA only to end up supporting ‘the lower race’ and muslim (pisspeuponhim) terrorists in training. I’m so f*%king pissed.

We might as well paint the White House brown.

speed647 on July 11, 2006 at 10:26 AM

Hooray!

Here's some older pictures of Her I had from a vent I never got around to debunking. Sometimes it's just too nice outside to deal with conservative crap.

Christian Hartsock joins Ben Shapiro in the crazy Republican Virgin float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade of Hate. Who is this Christian Hartsock? He's our latest entrant on Shelby Tse's Punting the Pundits!

Christian Hartsock is a wanna be filmmaker, inspired by Micheal Moore to become the Micheal Moore of dumb. Lashing out from his website at ChristianHartsock.com, he unleashes a new column of pure insanity and hatrid-fueled bile each week upon an unsuspecting nation. Hartsock's favorite targets are Liberals, LIBERALS!!!, the Left, Leftists, feminists, Hillary, Liberals, Women who aren't bowing before their husbands, Howard Dean, and Liberals. Christian also runs the website The Dionysus Post, a collection of Young Right Wing nutjobs, including our good friend, Hans Zeiger. It's hilarious that he named his site after the God of Drunkery, because that's what you have to be to believe the bull he's shoveling (that, or dumber than the pile Hartsock's shoveling.) He is also at work on a film called Separation, "a documentary on the secular left's attempts to purge Christianity from the public square. "

What's triggering the Hartsock attack here is his fun-loving column: The politics of the bedroom (July 2, 2006) Now, we all know that Right Wing Pundits are definately not sexually repress, correct? Let's see...

Liberals are like babies. They are. You give a baby a beautiful, shining glass vase and he'll smash it on the floor. In the same way, God gave us marriage and sex and liberals have ruined both of those too.

So Sex is like a shining glass vase....uh huh.....yeah. Christian starts off attacking liberals as he can't go ten sentences without bashing them. Without bothering to attack them for actual reasons, he just blindly lashes out. Christian's latest complaints about how liberals have ruined sex and marraige gives us a key to the insite of his mind, and recent events in his life. Poor Christian must have found out his latest MySpace crush posted photos of her kissing another male, and on the mouth no less! This Whore of Babylon is no longer worthy of Christian's love, and she must be punished, as well as all the other wanton women of the world, who exist clearly and exclusively because of Liberal meddling on the purity of womanhood!

In the 1950s, marriage was something women looked forward to, so much that they married at ages like 19 and 20.

Yeah, now a days women want to have careers and

(Part of the reason was because they were actually waiting until marriage to have sex, unlike liberals, who encourage young teenagers to lick condoms and show their "orgasm faces" in front of a camera during mandatory "AIDS Awareness" presentations.)

What? What school was this? Licking condoms is now standard sex ed fare? Is Christian confusing Sex Ed classes with the movie Coneheads (where the Coneheads chewed condoms like bubblegum)? Also, it's amazing that Christian seems to think that in the 1950s people did not have sex until they were married. This is far from the truth. Practically the only difference between then and now is now we are more open about it, instead of shrouding it in secrecy.

To a woman, a man interested in commitment was the biggest turn-on. It was commitment that young women longed for.

I can see more into what happened to Christian that spawned this column. His MySpace crush he had taken out on one "date" (she wasn't aware it was a date) and assumed they were exclusive, while she was unaware he was her "boyfriend." Thus, when she runs out with Guy #2, he flips, claiming he's totally devoted to her, and she freaks out from his obsessive craziness and tells him to get lost.

In fact, for generations since, the stereotype has been that women long for commitment while men have at least fourteen one-night-stands to get out of their system before they even consider settling down with a woman. (And even after they're married if they find another one buried deep under the cushions, oh well! A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.)

Yes, generations ago, during the far off time of the 1950s (2 generations ago). But from 1960 onward, you must have 14 one night stands. Also, no one prior to 1960 ever had an extramarital affair. Thank goodness an 18 year old can tell me such things! He should know, what with his years of experience researching the social life of the 1950's (aka watching Leave it to Beaver reruns, and taking them as gospel!) Minorities like myself would LOVE it if we went back to the 1950's. Having to sit in the back of the bus. Drinking from the "Coloreds only" fountain. Being refused service at restaurants. You know, the Good Old Days!

But not anymore. Today women are afraid of commitment. While they may have a soft spot for songs with lyrics like "If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me" or "Michelle...I need you, I need you, I need you...," if you yourself utter those words to a woman, she will accuse you of "overwhelming" or "suffocating" her and will immediately dash to open the nearest window and gasp for breath.

Yep, she ran away quickly when he started spouting the creepy poetry. Poor Michelle...

This is what feminism has done to women. It has demonized marriage, it has demolished prudence, and it has denigrated the concept of commitment.

Yes, FEMINISM is the reason you can't get a date. It's not the fact you're a slimy, creepy fucker.

The only types of marriages liberals like are ones that involve male-on-male sodomy or lesbian fisting.

You know a little too much about gay sex, Christian. Also, Lesbians? Cool...

A friend of mine was subbing at an elementary school in Oakland a few years ago and during a faculty lunch he overheard one teacher explaining how this poor, naïve young girl told her that she was going to wait until marriage to have sex. In a patronizing and condescending tone reminiscent of the way liberals talk to blacks, the woman told the girl, "Well honey, you wanna go for a test-drive before you buy the car, don't you?" (And who says kids get better education out of private schools or homeschooling?)

Wow, this paragraph is full of random attacks. We got attacks on teachers, attacks on public schools, attacks on liberals, and attacks on blacks. Plus, Christian doesn't sound that trustworthy, so I'd wager this didn't even happen, as said teacher could easily be fired. Christian was just upset he's only attacked public schools once so far in this column.

Aside from seeing it as a form of chauvinistic slavery, liberals see marriage as a commitment in the same way they see talking to someone on the subway as a commitment. Remember when first base was asking a girl out, second base was kissing her, and third base was a relationship? Well now, first base is having sex, second base is getting married, and third base is leaving your spouse for Angelina Jolie.

Maybe the mystery MySpace girl was Angelina Jolie! Also, since when has first base been asking a girl out? It wasn't even in the 1950's! Also, Christian seems to be promoting kissing before being in a relationship. Such Liberalism! I'm ashamed of Christian's shocking values. It totally deflates the values of a kiss. People who don't wait until marraige for kissing are debauchers of the highest order.

Nowadays, for women, the prerequisites to getting married (whatever that means) are having sex with about a dozen men and having at least one abortion (and preferably a partial-birth one).

Ha ha! What a healthy view about women!

If liberals only knew what they were missing out on with their hedonism and their debauchery and their insistence on fornicating with every fish in the sea before they do the whole "marriage" thing, they would realize that it is devout Christians who are having the best sex right now out of anyone on the planet

What in the Hell? This doesn't even make any sense! Is he talking about imaginary sex? Or married devout Christians? It surely isn't Devout Christian Hartsock! His sex is something I never want to imagine, but is definately solo and probably happens 5 times a day. Thank goodness my MySpace is picture-free!

Shelby Tse is a student at UCSC studying Political Science and Journalism, and a believer in telling the truth and holding liars accountable. Seriously, screw those jerks!

I don't! Neither will you.

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2006/07/atlas_flogs_pri.html

I have no words...

Both videos are crazy.

Shelby Tse here, with some goofball racist shenanigans from those Hot Air peeps. The latest AllahPundit circus of horrors is a remix of the Bush Immigration speech, where he calls for the deportation of all Illegals, calls all Immigrants criminals, and wants to put 6 million troops on the border. Six Million! One for each Jew killed in the Holocaust or something. I'm not sure. This whole thing is crazy. But it's a good glimpse into the minds of the fans of Michelle Malkin and her ilk.

Hot Air Link

Mexicans is used almost exclusively for the immigrants:

To discuss a matter of national importance: Mexicans!

At our southern border, others have organized to stop Mexicans from getting in

Hey, great that they aren't claiming the Minutemen are defending us from terrorists now, but we must continue....

5 clear objectives:
Deport Every Illegal Immigrant
Militarize Southern border
increase border patrols by 6 million
match employers with employees
round up many people with deep roots and send them across border

Picking crops, cleaning offices, low paying jobs, mass deportation. Any proposal short of this amounts to deportation.

After that lovely call for slavery (witht he hitch being the slaves are disposable) the message drops all pretext about being just about illegal immigrants:

I know many of you listening have a parent or grandparent who came here with dreams of a better life. They should not be given an automatic path to citizenship.

We must always remember that the vast majority of Illegals are terrorists.

Our new immigrants are just what they've always been...criminals!

Hey, I'm sure Michelle is happy that her website just called her family criminals! Actually, she probably is.

Shelby here, don't you fear! I haven't forgotten about our Friendly Neighborhood Virgin! Ben Shapiro keeps writing stupid columns, and thus Shelby Tse will keep pointing out how lame he is. In the latest adventures, Ben loves Daily Kos a little too much, lies about a graduation ceremony and religion, and concludes with a scathing indictment of freedom of speech. It's Shapiro-riffic!

Daily Kos-mania - Jun 14, 2006

The left has found its newest sex symbol. His name is Markos Moulitsas, and he's the founder of the eponymous Daily Kos, a popular radical liberal blog garnering thousands of visitors each day. The lonely Blanche DuBois of The New York Times editorial page, Maureen Dowd, describes Moulitsas as the "fast-talking former Army artillery scout with the boyish demeanor and dark brown buggy eyes," and calls him an "Internet messiah." Ana Marie Cox, the Internet potty-mouth turned Time magazine reporter, breathes shallowly and does her lipstick: "Compact and wiry, Moulitsas, 34, exudes quivering intensity. He speaks in staccato paragraphs, punctuated by intense stares and a raised eyebrow. His eyes bulge slightly outward, as if reacting to the pressure of all the ideas inside his head."

Or the fever in his brain.

Dang, Virgin Ben sure ICEBURNED Markos Moulitsas there. DailyKos's currently daily average of visiters is 444,296, and it is one of the most influential blogs in the blogosphere. Both RedState.org and LittleGreanFootballs consider it their mortal enemy, as well as probably many other Right Wing blogs, all of which are smaller than DailyKos. RedState.org is pattered very much after DailyKos in style, but that must be a coincidence... Kos has become increasing in visibility as he begins to capitalize on his fame by moving into the mainstream press. He has written a book, Crashing the Gates, and is one of the instigators of the Band of Brothers - the 2006 Democrate candidates running for congressional seats that numbered over 50, with a weekly endorsement on the Majority Report. Kos has also supported some Grassroots candidates, from Francine Busby to Paul Hackett to Ned Lamont to Jon Tester.

DailyKos recently had their convention, YearlyKos, which is why Shapiro is so full of Virgin Rage today...

Amidst the Bush-bashing revelry and tinfoil hats (yes, literally), major Democratic leaders came to pay homage to the deplorable hatemonger who once stated about slain American military contractors, "I feel nothing over the death of merceneries [sic]. They aren't in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them."

Well, Kos did say that, in 2004. Here is a nice breakdown. That's the limit of things Virgin Ben could pull up to attack Kos with. That was years ago, and was something said under emotional times. Oddly enough, Kos is a military veteren, but I guess we won't be seeing Virgin Ben write a "Faces of the War" column about him! Shapiro delights in attacking others for not supporting the troops, even when the guy is a former troop, and he's talking about mercenaries, not troops.

Daily Kos is the Democratic Party's updated and scaled-down version of Bill Clinton. Democrats keep hoping that if Clinton puts in a campaign appearance with one of their candidates, the candidate will win. Now they're hoping that if Moulitsas and his minions hop aboard a candidate's bandwagon, that candidate will emerge victorious.

Uh, just because some candidates showed up for a convention in Las Vega where hundreds of Democrats were at (including Harry Reid of Nevada!) doesn't turn Kos into Bill Clinton, unless....Yes....Virgin Ben is pulling a "Blame Clinton!" That's an odd track to turn, because this is totally out of left field. Only the kind of crazy stuff you'd think of if you were Mr. Shapiro, professional chickenhawk.

There's only one problem. Just as with Clinton, every candidate Moulitsas touches turns to dross. First there was Howard Dean, who crumbled almost as quickly as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's house. Then there was antiwar Iraq war veteran Paul Hackett, who ran for Congress in Ohio -- and lost. After that there was Francine Busby, who ran for the open seat in California's 50th district -- and lost.

Gee, the point was none of those candidates should have even had a chance, and they all were pretty close (until Dean destructed, but he's still popular) and Hackett and Busby shouldn't have gotten over 1/3 of the vote, they both nearly won. Instead of the "Clinton Curse" it looks more like a "Kos Bump"

Now there's antiwar Connecticut Senate candidate Ned Lamont, whom Moulitsas predicts will defeat Joe Lieberman in the party primary. He'll lose. And there's Montana's senatorial candidate Jon Tester, whom Moulitsas predicts will beat incumbent Senator Conrad Burns in November. He, too, will probably lose.

I got a nice bet for Mr. V: When these guys win, print out your column and EAT IT! If they lose, I'll print out this column and EAT IT! This one will be longer than yours, so I'm putting more on the line here...

There's a reason the candidates Moulitsas backs always lose: He's a loser.

I know you are, but what am I? This attack seems out of place, but...

The constituency he represents is an angry, radical constituency that is more concerned with being anti-Bush than pro-anything.

Yes, attacking Kos isn't angry, but attacking Bush=angry.

And if the Democratic Party refuses to go along with Moulitsas' destructive agenda, well, then screw them, too.

Kos's agenda seems to be turning the Democrats into something more than chickens with their heads cut off. But it seems that Chickenhawks love to be surrounded by easy prey, so Virgin Ben's agenda is to keep the chickens running.

Moulitsas may indeed be a cross between Cobain and Guevara as far as the Democratic Party goes: He's a thuggish radical revolutionary who may end up blowing away the Democratic Party, shotgun style. Astonishingly, the Democrats continue to grin as Moulitsas pulls the trigger.

This is rather gruesome. However, certain elements of the Democratic party need to be blown away. It's the only way to turn the Democrats back into a lean, mean, fighting machine.

Moving on...

Mention God? Don't you dare - Jun 21, 2006

I dare! God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, GOD! Wait, that's just the title..

Brittany McComb, valedictorian of Foothill High School in Clark County, Nevada, stood up at her graduation and began to speak. A few paragraphs into her speech, school administrators cut off McComb's microphone. She didn't tell a dirty joke. She didn't curse. She didn't insult her classmates or her teachers. Brittany McComb committed the egregious sin of attempting to thank God and Jesus. "I went through four years of school at Foothill and they taught me logic and they taught me freedom of speech," McComb stated. "God's the biggest part of my life. Just like other valedictorians thank their parents, I wanted to thank my lord and savior."

Hey, that's terrible! Except that's not the whole story...

"There should be no controversy here," ACLU lawyer Allen Lichtenstein said. "It's important for people to understand that a student was given a school-sponsored forum by a school and therefore, in essence, it was a school-sponsored speech."

Administrators who vetted an early draft of McComb's speech cut six references to God or Christ, and omitted two biblical references. They also deleted a detailed reference to the crucifixion of Christ.

McComb said she defied school authorities because she believed it was free speech issue.

So she willfully violated the school who vetoes her speech. Shapiro leaves that little fact out. I guess following rules isn't something Virgin Ben is championing anymore. He's too busy spending the rest of the column attacking the courts, the ACLU, public schools, and anyone who disagrees with him. Somehow he even works pornography into the discussion. I guess he was extra Virgin Tempted that day or something.

Enough of this stupidity, next up!

The case for the flag-protection amendment - Jun 28, 2006

This week, the Senate will vote down a proposed constitutional amendment protecting the American flag from desecration.

Well, he successfully predicted the future in this one!

Many of our esteemed Senators tell us the First Amendment is about protecting the rights of those who would spit on the nation; they say we should have better things to do than worry about those who would excrete on the flag; they tell us our founders would be ashamed of an amendment to protect the flag.

yes, yes...

They are fools of the highest order.

D'oh! Wow, Fools of the highest order? That's like, Level 99 Fools! With the +3 Golden Dunce Cap!

Why are they fools, Ben?

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech.

So it does protect them?

Not all expression or speech contributes to the political debate. That is why the First Amendment does not protect flag burning, just as it does not protect lap dances, sodomy, public nudity or child pornography. All of these may be labeled "expressive speech." All of them would land you in jail for most of our history. For nearly two centuries, states prosecuted flag burners. And for nearly 200 years, the federal courts recognized that the First Amendment did not prohibit states from such prosecution.

Well, now the First Amendment only applies to political speech? Well, thanks to the Religious Right's politization of everything under the sun, lap dances, sodomy, and public nudity are political speech, they are saying "screw you" to superprudes, like VBen.

1907's Halter v. Nebraska was the first time a flag desecration case hit the Supreme Court, where someone did the shocking thing of using the flag on the label of their product. He was convicted of this henious crime.

Flag burning wasn't done until 1989's Texas v. Johnson, where it was supported.
Flag Cases at the Supreme Court

"The way to preserve the flag's special role is not to punish those who feel differently about these matters," wrote Justice Brennan. "It is to persuade them that they are wrong. We can imagine no more appropriate response to burning a flag than waving one's own, no better way to counter a flag burner's message than by saluting the flag that burns, no surer means of preserving the dignity even of the flag that burned than by -- as one witness here did -- according its remains a respectful burial."

Now, this makes sense, because the best part of being in a free country is the Freedom! Sadly, Ben will now put the "Dumb" in Freedumb:

This is idiocy, and dangerous idiocy at that.

I see. Why?

The American flag represents our nation; it represents American values; it represents the blood of those who have died and continue to die on battlefields across the world to protect our freedoms.

The Supreme Court also represents America, and you just desecrated them by calling them "Dangerous" idiots. Secret Police, take Virgin Ben away...

The American flag does not represent the nonexistent right of traitors to desecrate the stars and bars

"Stars and Bars"? Are people now burning the CONFEDERATE FLAG??? What in the world? Ignoring that, the flag of America stands for America, and it's freedoms, which including burning said flag. It's a stupid act done by morons, but they are protected to be stupid morons, much like Ben is protect to be a stupid moron, which he utilizes quite well. Ben just wants a monopoly on the subject.

Protecting those who urinate, defecate, burn or stomp on our flag is not noble. Protecting our flag from such animals is not unimportant. Our flag is not merely a piece of cloth. Burning the flag is not exercising free speech, but denying American nationhood. We disgrace our origins, our soldiers and ourselves by allowing flag desecration an honored place in the constitutional pantheon of rights.

Yes. Let's not desecrate the flag, and punish anyone who does!!

Whoops! Hope you like Guantanemo, George!

Shelby Tse is a student at UCSC studying Political Science and Journalism, and a believer in telling the truth and holding liars accountable. Seriously, screw those jerks!

Well, maybe he'll only get the HARD TIME if he gets the viagra back from the police.

Bottle of Viagra Gets Limbaugh Held at Airport

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (June 26) - Rush Limbaugh was detained for more than three hours Monday at Palm Beach International Airport after authorities said they found a bottle of Viagra in his possession without a prescription.

Customs officials found a prescription bottle labeled as Viagra in his luggage that didn't have Limbaugh's name on it, but that of two doctors, said Paul Miller, spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

A doctor had prescribed the drug, but it was "labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes," Roy Black, Limbaugh's attorney, said in a statement.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement examined the 55-year-old radio commentator's luggage after his private plane landed at the airport from the Dominican Republic, said Miller.

The matter was referred to the sheriff's office, whose investigators interviewed Limbaugh. According to Miller, Limbaugh said that the Viagra was for his use, and that he obtained it from his doctors.

Investigators confiscated the drugs, which treats erectile dysfunction, and Limbaugh was released without being charged.

The sheriff's office plans to file a report with the state attorney's office. Miller said it could be a second-degree misdemeanor violation.

Limbaugh reached a deal last month with prosecutors who had accused the conservative talk-show host of illegally deceiving multiple doctors to receive overlapping painkiller prescriptions. Under the deal, the charge, commonly referred to as "doctor shopping," would be dismissed after 18 months if he continues to submit to random drug tests and treatment for his acknowledged addiction to painkillers.

Limbaugh was all laughs...

Radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh is joking about his police detainment at the airport yesterday for carrying Viagra in his luggage.

"I've been racking my brain. I'm trying to figure out how Bob Dole's luggage got on my airplane," Limbaugh clowned as he opened his national program today. "I told the doctor, I said, 'Look, I'm worried about the next election, not ... .' A misunderstanding. Now, things are what they are."

Maybe he'll be laughing next....IN JAIL!!!

Coulter shows that she hates America once again. Sean Hannity Show. From Media Matters

Coulter: If Murtha "did get fragged, he'd finally deserve one of those Purple Hearts"

Summary: Ann Coulter refused to explain -- and even expanded upon -- her recent claim that Rep. John P. Murtha is "the reason soldiers invented fragging," military slang meaning the intentional killing of a member of one's own unit. On a Denver radio show, Coulter referred to her fragging comment as one of her "best lines" and refused to confirm that she was not "suggesting that anybody should off John Murtha," stating only: "It is what it is." On Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Coulter further expanded upon her statement, asserting that if Murtha "did get fragged, he'd finally deserve one of those Purple Hearts."

On June 20 and 21, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter refused to explain -- and even expanded upon -- her recent claim that Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) is "the reason soldiers invented fragging," military slang meaning the intentional killing of a member of one's own unit. On the June 20 broadcast of the Mike Rosen Show on Denver's Newsradio 850 KOA, Coulter referred to her fragging comment as one of her "best lines" and refused to confirm to host Rosen that she was not "suggesting that anybody should off John Murtha," stating only: "It is what it is." On the June 21 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Coulter further expanded upon her statement, asserting that if Murtha "did get fragged, he'd finally deserve one of those Purple Hearts," referring to the two Purple Hearts Murtha was awarded during his service in the Vietnam War. Coulter first suggested Murtha is "the reason soldiers invented fragging" in an interview with the website Right Wing News.

Also on Hannity & Colmes, Coulter discussed the June 21 press conference held by Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI), during which the lawmakers advanced the claim that weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq, referring to the discovery of hundreds of inactive, deteriorated chemical weapons shells buried by Iraqis during the 1988 war with Iran. Coulter asserted that Democrats have "affection ... for terrorists" because they point out that the weapons discovered "weren't that bad." When Colmes challenged Coulter to name "[w]hat liberal has affection for terrorists," Coulter responded by suggesting that Colmes was "defending" Saddam Hussein" by "trying to minimize" the discovery of the shells.

Despite Coulter's touting of the purported WMD discovery, intelligence officials confirmed that the shells Santorum and Hoekstra spoke of were not part of the suspected weapons that the United States went to war over, and the Iraq Survey Group's September 2004 final report (also known as the Duelfer Report) had already noted that "a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions" were discovered after the invasion, as the weblog Think Progress noted.

From the June 20 broadcast of the Mike Rosen Show:

ROSEN: Ann Coulter -- our guest. Her latest book, Godless, The Church of Liberalism. You were doing an interview with John Hawkins, who's on a website called Right Wing News. And that he did some -- a stream-of-consciousness exercise with you. Rattled off some names and asked you for a word or two. He said Cindy Sheehan. You said "the Dennis Rodman of the peace movement." He said Joe Wilson, you said the world's most -- "the world's most intensive -- intensely private exhibitionist." Michael Moore: "Rumors of his depth -- his depth are greatly exaggerated." George Bush: "my Commander In Chief." John McCain: "war hero, let's leave it at that." Alec Baldwin: "our main source of so-called greenhouse gases." And then John Murtha, and you said "the reason soldiers invented fragging."

You've taken a lot of heat for that. In context, this -- these are just off-the-top-of-your-head remarks regarding a whole list of people. What -- what's been your reaction to the criticism that you've taken for the Murtha comment?

COULTER: I wasn't aware I'd taken criticism, but I'm glad some of my best lines are getting out.

ROSEN: You don't have any reservations about that line?

COULTER: No.

ROSEN: You're not --

COULTER: No. In fact, I can save you a lot of time.

ROSEN: Yeah.

COULTER: You can quote anything I've said back to me and ask me if I have reservations, if I would have done it differently, if I would have said it differently -- do I have any regrets? The answer is no. Now, we may move back to the book.

ROSEN: All right, but you're not -- you're not suggesting that anybody should off John Murtha?

COULTER: It is what it is.

ROSEN: OK. Let's talk about some other things in the book. When you talk about the Church of Liberalism, we talk about religious zeal associated to political -- associated with political issues. For example, so many people on the left embrace environmentalism as a quasi-religion, especially people who are more secularly oriented to begin with. What's your take on environmentalism as a religious crusade?

From the June 21 broadcast of Fox News' Hannity & Colmtes:

HANNITY: How about liberals now apologize to the country? How about, for the exploitation --

COULTER: Oh, there are so many things for them to apologize to. I just don't think I can bear to listen to it that long. What we've found out today is that there are more weapons of mass destruction. They found plenty of weapons of mass destruction.

HANNITY: Five hundred, but that's not enough.

COULTER: Right. But, I mean, until now, we didn't know about the stockpiles, which gives yet another reason for having gone to war in Iraq, in addition to all the ones the president gave about the humanitarian reasons, freeing Iraqis from the rape rooms, from this barbaric dictator, establishing a democracy in the Middle East, and getting a foothold for our military in this -- in this barbaric part of the world. This is yet another reason -- and we see, again, the affection Democrats have for terrorists, that they want to rush in and say, "Oh, well, they weren't -- they weren't that bad, these weapons of mass -- what is the --

HANNITY: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I want to go to [Democratic strategist] Laura Schwartz. Laura, 'cause this is fascinating to me. I think watching the liberals try and deconstruct this is going to be pretty fascinating, in terms of being a case study here. You know, what excuse will you now give for -- to try to minimize what is a huge story that proves George W. Bush, the guy you don't like, was right? Give me your deconstruction. Give me your liberal line. What is it going to be?

SCHWARTZ: These are not the weapons that we went to war over. It does not tell us that --

HANNITY: Well, they actually are, 'cause Saddam Hussein --

SCHWARTZ: -- Saddam Hussein had an ongoing, active weapons program.

HANNITY: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Saddam Hussein had said he had gotten rid of them. He told the world and he told inspectors. He said there were none.

COLMES: Hold on.

HANNITY: He didn't say pre-'91, post-'91. He said none.

COLMES: My turn to talk. There's no new information --

SHWARTZ: Aaron, you can set this straight.

COLMES: There are [sic] no new information, that's the key. And, Ann, I'd like to know. You just made an accusation against --

HANNITY: Liberals.

COULTER: Yes, I've made it before.

COLMES: -- and you have basically said that, what, they like terrorists --

COULTER: Affection for terrorists, yes.

COLMES: What liberal has affection for terrorists?

COULTER: All of this defense of Saddam and --

COLMES: Well, who?

COULTER: -- oh, well, "They weren't that bad."

COLMES: Show me the evidence -- who said they're not that bad?

COULTER: I was quoting you.

COLMES: Who said they're not that bad?

COULTER: In the first segment, you were saying, "Poof, this" --

COLMES: Who said terrorists are not that bad?

COULTER: Saddam Hussein.

COLMES: When did I say he wasn't that bad?

COULTER: You're defending him on these weapons, trying to minimize them.

COLMES: When did I defend Saddam Hussein? What did I say in defense of Saddam Hussein?

COULTER: OK, I know you don't watch your show when it gets re-played. When you're on the show --

COLMES: Well, I can't watch it now because I'm on it and doing it.

COULTER: -- do you listen to yourself?

COLMES: I'd like to know what I said in defense of Saddam Hussein.

COULTER: You're dismissing these weapons as, "Oh, poof" --

COLMES: No, I'm actually quoting a Defense Department official --

COULTER: Right, why is that?

COLMES: -- who told our own Jim Angle that this is nothing new. In fact, these were not the WMDs, Laura Schwartz, that we were told by the administration were the cause for going to war in Iraq.

SHWARTZ: Exactly.

COLMES: That is according to our Fox News reporter --

COULTER: That's not true.

COLMES: -- and that is according to a defense source that he has.

COULTER: That is not the reason we went to war.

COLMES: I was talking to Laura Schwartz. Do you want to respond, Laura?

COULTER: Well, you said something untrue.

[...]

COLMES: Welcome back to Hannity & Colmes. We now continue with the author of The New York Times bestseller Godless, Ann Coulter, and Democratic strategist Laura Schwartz. Let's talk about those who oppose this administration, who've spoken out against them. One of whom is John Murtha. And you were asked by John Hawkins of Right Wing News to have a few words about John Murtha. We'll put it up on the screen. Here's what you said: "The reason soldiers invented 'fragging' " was your response --

COULTER: Right.

COLMES: -- to defining John Murtha, which as some people -- most people may know is assassinating somebody in your unit. Are you suggesting that John Murtha exists for the purpose of being assassinated?

COULTER: OK. You're always asking me if I really mean something.

COLMES: Yeah.

COULTER: I want to ask you -- I just want to turn the tables this one time.

COLMES: Be my guest.

COULTER: Do you really think I am calling for the assassination of a congressman?

COLMES: No, I don't think a sane person would do that. Well, let me -- let me rephrase that.

COULTER: So, why do you get on your high horse and read -- read these --

COLMES: Well, then why would you say something like that?

COULTER: Oh, come on. OK, let me turn the tables again.

COLMES: Why would you say something like that?

COULTER: OK. How about this?

COLMES: Here, turn the tables.

HANNITY: I'm enjoying this.

COLMES: Why would you say something like that?

COULTER: You've watched your own show. You've heard yourself. And you've asked me --

COLMES: I don't listen to myself.

COULTER: -- probably 47 times, read something back to me indignantly and asked me to retract it.

COLMES: Not indignantly. I just want to know. How do you explain that?

COULTER: But -- and I've never retracted it, and I've never explained it. So, why do you think it's going to work this time?

COLMES: John Murtha exists for the purpose of being fragged. That's why he's on the planet. That is your statement.

COULTER: That isn't what I said. Why do you always change what I said from what I said?

COLMES: So, he should be assassinated. I'd like to -- I want to understand an interpretation of this that is not hurtful or mean-spirited or hate speech. I'd like to understand it.

COULTER: OK. If what I say is so outrageous, I ask again: Why does it always have to be changed slightly from the Jersey girls to (inaudible) --

COLMES: I'll tell you. I want you to explain it. You're not answering my question. I want you to explain it.

COULTER: -- from the reasons soldiers invented fragging to what did you just say?

COLMES: Well, I don't know. I don't listen to the show.

COULTER: -- deserving of fragging --

COLMES: You know, Laura Schwartz, I actually have to thank Ann Coulter for something. Because she has said that up until now, you couldn't talk about certain people like the widows of 9-11 because they were immunized. And we liberals, whenever we talk about the military, like if somebody does something allegedly in Haditha and we blame the military, they're immunized. So, I guess we can have the same --

COULTER: Not Murtha.

COLMES: So, I guess we can have the same standard because, God forbid a liberal says anything negative ever about someone in the military, about whom there have been a lot of accusations. So, we have Ann Coulter to thank that that veil has now been removed.

SCHWARTZ: Really? I mean, to think we have no holds barred. I mean, those are the freedoms we're fighting for in Iraq, I guess. So, yeah, thanks, Ann.

COULTER: Murtha -- wait a minute. Murtha accused our soldiers --

SCHWARTZ: I got to say, though, some of those quotes coming out of your mouth are just disgusting.

COULTER: Murtha accused our soldiers of murder in cold blood.

HANNITY: Civilians.

SHWARTZ: Unfortunately --

COULTER: Weeks before Godless came out. So he must have been anticipating it. By the way, if he did get fragged, he'd finally deserve one of those Purple Hearts.

O'Reilly went all O'Reilly on her. Michelle then went into Malkin-Rage!

via Crooks and Liars

In a segment a few days ago on the Factor, Bill actually, kinda, sorta-put Michelle in her place for once. I did edit the faux liberal.

Video-WMP Video-QT

The debate focused on the divide over the war and immigration. Obviously, I differ with Bill's characterization of John Murtha since he is tied into the military. Malkin hasn't been following the polls because most of this country wants us out of Iraq. Bill did point out a few holes in her arguments and..well...she wasn't too happy when he did.

Correction: no I don't. Shelby is here to blast Michelle's crazy craziness of crazy anti-global warming fun.

"Hot Air" (It was Cold air, but, you know, Global Warming....)

The first dig at the MSM (that's Main Stream Media for those of you unfamiliar with the anti-media establishment) is against ABC for using Leonardo Di Caprio (Yet no mention of Foxnews having Geraldo give away US positions in Iraq, but why would Michelle attack Foxnews, it's not MSM!)
ABC is asking viewers for information about global warming. Michelle deridedly mentions things such as altered blooming schedules of plants and strange animals appearing as things Al Gore acolytes would report on. It's funny that their incompetent video tech mentions polar bears (on Lost) as it was recently reveal that Global Warming is causing polar bears to kill each other for food. Trust Hot Air to put the "duh" in dumb. She says it's "Junk Science journalism", also hilarious since this "junk science" is exactly what she's pushing.

Next up, let's go to YouTube and find a video of some asian guy at a global warming rally calling himself a "rapmaster" and thirty other names. This is followed by some morons who should never use a camera doing lame Global Warming skits. Now, it's stupid, but that's what we've all come to expect from YouTube, the site that proves that 99.9% of America should never have a video camera. It's hilarious that they go to YouTube, since HotAir is just a ripoff of their site, with a conservative bent. It's plain to see the videos are supposed to be fun, what with the blaming of Chris Daultry voted off American Idol by an animated penguin man (no, wait, it's AL GORE'S FAULT! You Algorecolyte!) That one even looks sort of conservative itself, but whatever.

Also, I totally do NOT look like the asian girl singing with the bandaid girl. Shut up, Winston, you haven't even written an article here in a month.

Michelle concludes with a popping of a balloon, saying she's popping MSM hysteria. I'm guessing she filmed this a few weeks ago and their video editor (Chris, IIRC) spend weeks scrounging through YouTube for clips. Please notice what they didn't give you in this video: FACTS! Michelle Malkin's MO is to never, ever, EVER use real facts, only fake facts, or facts twisted more than a trailer park in Kansas. I guess that's what is to be expected from "Phone it in Friday!"

Here's the shots of Michelle popping the balloon, since some of you are pervs:

Shelby Tse is a student at UCSC studying Political Science and Journalism, and a believer in telling the truth and holding liars accountable. Seriously, screw those jerks!

“If Giuliani wants to have a national ambition, and I’m a big fan of his, he’s going to have to become pro-life if he wants to run for president. No one ever believed he was pro-choice anyway - he’s a Catholic from Queens," she says, adding, “Americans understand that Manhattan is the Soviet Union.”
-- Ann Coulter, quoted in "All Smiles On GOP's Right Wing", CBSNews.com, Sept. 1, 2004

"Kwanzaa itself is a lunatic blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. Indeed, the seven 'principles'of Kwanzaa praise collectivism in every possible arena of life – economics, work, personality, even litter removal."
-- Ann Coulter, TownHall.com, Dec. 26, 200

"Well, my point is that it shows the ideological insanity of these people and how they are terrified of anyone who believes in a Being even higher than the New York Times. When you try to figure out what the Religious Right is, essentially my conclusion is that it either comes down to one man, Pat Robertson, or 80 percent of Americans, anyone who believes in God and wants his taxes cut. When you look at Pat Robertson’s positions, they are really quite moderate positions, as one would expect from a Yale Law School graduate. I may not agree with him as a conservative, but my point is they are trying to demonize Pat Robertson as some sort of horned conservative. If he didn't believe in God and go on TV and talk about it, he would be Jim Jeffords, he would be Christie Todd Whitman, I mean just in his political positions. It really shows how crazy these people are. They really are terrified of believing Christians."
-- Ann Coulter to Pat Robertson, The $700 Club, Oct. 2, 2002

"[Anti-war Democrats] know that the American people support defending America, unlike them. Their real feelings are coming out as much as they can right now, which is that they're desperately dying to provide aid and support to al-Qaeda."

"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."

"[In response to Mike Barnacle] I've been promoting my book today so I haven't read the [Ninth Circuit] decision [declaring the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional]. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding about my coming on this program to talk about my book. But I will guess that the judges who said the pledge of allegiance violates the constitution were appointed by Democrats and not Republicans I haven't looked at the decision, I haven't heard about the decision. But that's a wild guess I'm going to make.... [Later, responding to Katrina van den Heuvel] Oh, I'm just waiting to see if anyone will take any bets on me on whether the judges who wrote this decision were appointed by a Democrat or a Republican."
-- Ann Coulter on MSNBC's Hardball, June 27, 2002
NOTE: The decision was rendered by Judge Alfred T. Goodwin, appointed by President Richard Milhous Nixon, 1971

Ann Coulter: "I can tell which ones don't need to be looked at, I can tell you that. Old ladies, old black men, little children, blondes, blue eyed. Do this experiment. I've done it many times: go around wherever you are, and you can always exclude about 80% of the people there, and I know once again Congressman Honda will not tell us the other factors that are going to be so crucial in figuring out which ones the terrorists are."
Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA): "You know there's another form of terrorism in the country, and that's the kind of terrorism that you spread. It's through racial profiling, and you're simply out of step."
Michael "The Moralist" Medved: "Congressman Honda, do you really want to compare Ann Coulter to the people who attacked the United States on September 11? ... You want to stand by your accusation that Ann Coulter is a terrorist?"
Honda: "Her comments and everything else engenders fear in people, it creates fear in people and it brings up other people who are out of step who will listen to that and turn around and target other people and were about educating people about what's the best way of proceeding and misinformation and using race as the soul ingredient is out of step."

"As Mineta has endlessly recounted in interviews of late: 'I remember on the 29th of May, 1942' -- note that he remembers the day -- 'when we boarded the train in San Jose under armed guard, the military guard, I was in my Cub Scout uniform carrying a baseball, baseball glove and a baseball bat. And as I boarded the train, the MPs confiscated the bat on the basis it could be used as a lethal weapon.'
"Good G-d! A guard took Mineta's baseball bat as a child, and as a result he's subjecting all of America to the Bataan Death March! Someone please give him a baseball bat."

"Ann is an illustration of how a certain kind of virulent right-wing politics is based on emotion, not reason. Almost to a one, I found that the most hateful voices on the right were venting their own deep-seated problems and frustrations. "

From "Cam Kate":
On [Fox News Channel's February 7th] Hannity and Colmes, Alan Colmes confronted Ann Coulter with the following statement she made at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference:"We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed too."
Coulter whined to Colmes, "I didn't know we were talking about this tonight, but now that you've sprungit on me..." but confirmed she made the comment and boasted it was a "huge hit with the audience."
Colmes: "You hate liberals. You despise liberals. This is unbelievable.We should execute them to make liberals scared?"

The problem with women voting -- and your Communists will back me up on this -- is that, you know, women have no capacity to understand how money is earned.

Howdy, all. Shelby here with the latest bud to bash!

Jerome R. Corsi co-authored the book Unfit for Command with John E. O'Neill, as well as Atomic Iran: How The Terrorist Regime Bought The Bomb And American Politicians and numerous other books. As a former Swift Boater, he's naturally to be looked at with a suspicious eye, due to their numerous exposed falsehoods. Corsi is currently writing a book on the Minutemen Project with a coauthor.

Jerome Corsi at SourceWatch
Jerome Corsi at Media Matters

Media Matters says:

On FreeRepublic.com, Corsi has, among other things, said that "ragheads" are "boy buggers"; referred to "John F*ing Kerry"; called Senator Hillary Clinton a "Fat Hog"; referred to her daughter as "Chubby Chelsie" Clinton; referred to Janet Reno as "Janet Rhino"; called Katie Couric "Little Katie Communist"; suggested Kerry was "practicing Judaism"; and expressed the wish that a small plane that had crashed into a building in Los Angeles had instead crashed into the set of NBC'S The West Wing, thereby killing actor Martin Sheen.

Enough of the background information, we need to get to the meat of the article. Basically, Corsi has been spending the last two months committing all of his time and columns to exposing that President George W. Bush is looking to supplant the USA with a North American Union. Now, you might be thinking "Buh?" just like most others who run across this when it first comes up. But Corsi didn't devote just one article to it; there are five at the time of this writing, with no end in site. Corsi's Minutemen roots betray his xenophobia, and the Minutemen’s' recent abandoning of George W. in the wake of the immigration debates seemed to open the floodgate of anti-Bush propaganda from Corsi, including a new version of the typical anti-UN remarks. These anti-American Union columns are chock full of loosely-base arguments, lack of evidence, and paranoia. Corsi seems to need some sort of psychological help, as he seems to believe that the powers that be are conspiring to destroy him and America.

It is interesting to me how this side was so supportive of Administrative power, until suddenly the administration does something they dislike, and soon they are fighting against an oppressive regime that is out to destroy them. Instead of learning their lesson and trying to limit the scope of powers, instead they are trying to install their own guys to take advantage of the abusive powers. What will stop these guys from turning on their own? Nothing at all, but the Minutemen will push for them nevertheless. Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project, is considering a run for president in 2008 representing the Constitution Party. Gilchrist will be at best just as bad as the Republican establishment, in reality probably much much worse.

Let's look at Corsi's writing on the North American Union.

North American Union to Replace USA?

President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy.

The hidden agenda isn't selling out to agri-business for cheap labor, creating a replaceable slave-wage class, devaluing Unions by increasing the workforce, or pure incompetence. Instead, it's a giant conspiracy! Of course Corsi has proof of this:

The blueprint President Bush is following was laid out in a 2005 report entitled "Building a North American Community" published by the left-of-center Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

Okay, I'm not seeing any proof yet, just blaming the Left for this (Odd, since Bush is on the RIGHT, but whatever)

The plan is contained in a "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" little noticed when President Bush and President Fox created it in March 2005:

Here we go!

the Task Force proposes the creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity. We propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March 2005 Joint Statement of the three leaders that "our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary." Its boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure, just, and prosperous North America.

Wait a minute, his sole proof is a report from a random .org group, and a left-leaning one at that? That's it? He has to have more...

Or, as the CFR report stated:

He doesn't have more! His entire paranoid fantasy is based on a report written by some nobody at the CFR? Why could he be doing this?

Why doesn’t President Bush just tell the truth? His secret agenda is to dissolve the United States of America into the North American Union. The administration has no intent to secure the border, or to enforce rigorously existing immigration laws. Securing our border with Mexico is evidently one of the jobs President Bush just won't do. If a fence is going to be built on our border with Mexico, evidently the Minuteman Project is going to have to build the fence themselves. Will President Bush protect America's sovereignty, or is this too a job the Minuteman Project will have to do for him?

Oh, I see. This whole column is to whip up support for the Minutemen! And his future Minutemen Book! The book you can read in 1 minute!

The Plan to Replace the Dollar With the 'Amero'

We got more, because YOU demanded it. So in the North American Union, the currency will be the Amero. It's great that they decided on the name of the money already.

Robert Pastor also advises the creation of a North American Parliamentary Group to make sure the U.S. Congress does not impede progress in the envisioned North American Union. He has also called for the creation of a North American Customs and Immigration Service which would have authority over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within the Department of Homeland Security.

Pastor’s 2001 book “Toward a North American Community” called for the creation of a North American Union that would perfect the defects Pastor believes limit the progress of the European Union. Much of Pastor’s thinking appears aimed at limiting the power and sovereignty of the United States as we enter this new super-regional entity. Pastor has also called for the creation of a new currency which he has coined the “Amero,” a currency that is proposed to replace the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the Mexican peso.

Wait, again, Corsi's entire evidence is one thing written by one person. Proof of an international conspiracy needs to be more concrete than a 2001 books, especially since Pastor's recommendations apply to far down the road when Mexico catches up with the US and Canda economically. One thing is that if Mexico became part of the US, then the Minutemen wouldn't have a border to patrol. Corsi seems to be writing mostly to save his job, something that has no chance of happening, because there is no way will be joining Mexico in some sort of national union anytime soon, short of George W. claiming they are full of Al Qaeda and attacking. That won't happen unless the polls are low in 2006. Just kidding. The works of one Economics Professor are not a good base to use as your sole support in a conspiracy theory.

President Quietly Creating 'NAFTA Plus'

Well, maybe we should counter with NAFTA Double-Plus!

Today's sole source of conspiracy will be brought to you by Miguel Pickard

This analysis has been advanced by economist Miguel Pickard at the Center for Economic and Political Research for Community Action (CIEPAC) in Chiapas, Mexico. Writing for the International Relations Center in New Mexico, Pickard explains how what he calls "NAFTA Plus" is being put in place by political elites in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, largely without explanation to or understanding by the public in any of the three countries:

We also get some Pastor rehashes as the Amero is mentioned again. This article actually starts to tie things together a bit, but it's still a mess supported by limited sources, and full of mischaracterizations of things to promote his agenda. Plus a fun end line:

What is your goal, Mr. President, to establish a North American Union where the border with Mexico is erased, or to secure the border once and for all, such that the invasion of Mexico's underclass into America stops?

WOOOOoooOOOoooOOoooOOOoooOOOO!!! Immagints comin', betta getcha guns!

North American Union Already Starting to Replace USA
Now it's too late, we're already being replaced by the North American Union, or NAU.

In March 2005 at their summit meeting in Waco, Tex., President Bush, President Fox and Prime Minister Martin issued a joint statement announced the creation of the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” (SPP). The creation of this new agreement was never submitted to Congress for debate and decision. Instead, the U.S. Department of Commerce merely created a new division under the same title to implement working groups to advance a North American Union working agenda in a wide range of areas, including: manufactured goods, movement of goods, energy, environment, e-commerce, financial services, business facilitation, food and agriculture, transportation, and health

Basically, there was a trade agreement, which means that we will soon be speaking Canadian-Mexican and be buying things with red-colored money with beavers on it. BEAVERS!

Again, the CFR report says nothing about reporting to Congress or to the American people. What we have underway here with the SPP could arguably be termed a bureaucratic coup d’etat. If that is not the intent, then President Bush should rein in the bureaucracy until the American people have been fully informed of the true nature of our government’s desire to create a North American Union. Otherwise, the North American Union will become a reality in 2010 as planned. Right now, the only check or balance being exercised is arguably Congressional oversight of the executive bureaucracy, even though Congress itself might not fully appreciate what is happening.

Blah blah conspiracy, only the Minutemen can save us. Yawn. Play a new record, please.

Bush Administration Quietly Plans NAFTA Super Highway

A road. A road. A ROAD! Roads are the most dangerous thing to America! Roads make it so people can travel around, and goods can travel around. This is dangerous, because some of those people might be dirty Mexicans or Beaver-sexing Canucks!

Look at this road! NASCO
It's proof that America will soon become a NAU country spending Ameros on cheap Mexican items while Canadian Lumberjacks sell us maple syrup and Middle America starves due to no jobs. It's true! Roads are evil. That's why roads have yellow lines in the center, because they are yellow-bellied LIEberals who hate America. Only one-way roads are good, because they have WHITE lines in the middle, not the traitorous yellow.

A good reason Bush does not want to secure the border with Mexico may be that the administration is trying to create express lanes for Mexican trucks to bring containers with cheap Far East goods into the heart of the U.S., all without the involvement of any U.S. union workers on the docks or in the trucks.

Now he's a champion of American jobs? Why do the Far East goods have to be shipped through Mexico and then trucked, when the US has plenty of ports? Especially with gas prices going up, a shorter transit system would be ideal. The price of gas will kill this idea, no matter how cheap they are paying their workers.

Malkin goes bonkers again, this time making O'Reilly uncomfortable with her. Perhaps this is the first step and she'll be hitting Ann Coulter-level crazy soon. One can only hope, it will be a glorious show. Glorious!

Malkin On Detainee Suicides: ‘Boo-Freakin-Hoo’

Yesterday on Fox News, Michelle Malkin mocked the suicides of three Guantanamo Bay detainees. Her reaction was so out-of-line that even O’Reilly took exception. Watch it:

Full transcript below:

MALKIN: And really, the reaction to the suicides should be, “Boo-freakin-hoo.”

O’REILLY: Well, I don’t know about that. I don’t want anybody, you know, killing themselves, but I do believe it was a political statement. Anyway —

MALKIN: Exactly.

O’REILLY: If I were in Guantanamo Bay, and I couldn’t get out — and these guys will never get out, believe me — I might commit suicide too.

Keep in mind Michelle loves internment of people, and would encage everyone with a drop of Arabic blood or even looked at a Koran sideways in massive complexes. Because it's defending freedom. Well, drop the "free" and accent the DUMB!

It's called "Supporting the Troops"

The best way to support the troops is to send them out into some country in the desert, without proper support and bodyarmor, and to keep sending them back despite many having traumatic stress and other mental trauma, and covering it up when they snap and shoot unarmed civilians. All this while you sit safely in your Harvard dorm room failing to do your duty in the war you support unquestioningly, and lashing out at anyone who dares challenge your chickenhawkness.

Ben clucks around in his latest column, condemning the press for daring to tell people that Marines may have killed civilians, because the press shouldn't print anything bad about Iraq.

Mainstream media's memorial day massacre

So how does the "public press" celebrate Memorial Day this year? By plastering stories across the front pages featuring alleged atrocities by our troops in Haditha, Iraq.

Damn the news for doing their job, reporting the news! Why can't they all be like FoxNews?

On the day before Memorial Day, anti-war Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., appeared on ABC's "This Week," demanding to know "Who covered it up, why did they cover it up, why did they wait so long? … We don't know how far it goes. It goes right up the chain of command … I will not excuse murder, and this is what happened."

Damn John Murtha for doing his job and exposing coverups in the military! First the press, now John Murtha, why do people have to do their jobs? Conservatives can't get anywhere if people actually do their jobs.

Against the war, but for the troops? It's hard to maintain that hairsbreadth distinction when you're publicizing alleged misconduct by American troops before the facts are in, while American soldiers remain on the ground in Iraq. The military is already engaged in an ongoing investigation into the killings and will likely bring up Marines on charges that may carry the death penalty.

That's hilarious, because Murtha was doing more for the troops before Mr. Virgin Ben was born than Shapiro will do his entire life. Also, Murtha WAS a troop, while Ben is a chickenhawk, and will always be a chickenhawk. Sending in the troops ill-equipped while you stay safely at home? Chickenhawk. Keep on clucking, Ben!

War is ugly. Horrible things happen. Those Americans responsible for reprehensible acts will be punished by the military itself. Why is this news?

Yeah, why is Marines killing innocent people news. Let me think....BECAUSE IT IS NEWS!!! Oh, and those doing the acts WEREN'T going to be punished until the coverup was uncovered! Funny how that worked, you see, some journalists did their jobs.

Why the need for the press to trumpet this news as though civilians had never been slain in the history of modern combat? Why the constant reminders of Abu Ghraib? Why the continuous focus on what Americans have done wrong, rather than what we're doing right?

Um, so the press shouldn't talk, because civilians have been killed before in combat. Okay, so whenever someone brings up Saddam killing his own people, they should shut up as well, because civilians die in war all the time! Why not remind of Abu Ghraib? Maybe it's part of a Culture of Suckitude perpetrated by BushCo. Let's focus on what has gone right: They appointed a new PM. Plus, there was only 53 people killed so far today, instead of way more.

Simply put, the mainstream press does not give a hang about troops in the field. The mainstream press is worried about what it has always been worried about: maintaining its own status. Mainstream media breathlessly await reports of atrocities by Americans because media outlets gain authority by attacking governmental authority. It wasn't enough for Time magazine to turn over its information on the alleged massacre to the military; it had to "alert the public." This story isn't about alleged misconduct -- it's about the press feting its own bravery for exposing what should have remained private.

RAARGH!! Media Hate Troops! Ben Love Troops! Media Bad! Ben Good! RAARGH!

This is what the press has done for decades. Since the advent of television, media outlets have been engaged in a systematic attempt to tear down the credibility of the United States government in order to bolster their own authority. "You can't trust the government," the media says, "but you can trust us."

I'd like to point out that a member of the media on a media website (TownHall.com) is saying we shouldn't trust the other media but trust him.

The Vietnam War became more about journalists (Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite) than about a war for the survival of liberal democracy in Southeast Asia.

What? Well, Ben should know, after all, he was alive then and...oh, wait. Well, at least liberal democracy survived and...oh. Well, at least US troops didn't massacre civilians....oh. Gee, and Conservatives get mad when Liberals bring up Vietnam. But they're wuick to play the Nam card when it suits their narrowminded goals.

It is a happy accident of history that this ongoing ego trip began after the rise of Hitler, or Nazism might well remain the dominant ideology on the European continent.

OMG, the press loves Hitler!

It's TRUE!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

As it is, Communism lasted far longer and took far more lives than it should have, largely due to the arrogant self-aggrandizement of the American press; Walter Duranty had little on mainstream media's feting of Gorbachev, degradation of Reagan and purposeful opposition to the rollback of global Communism.

What the deuce? The media is responsible for Communism lasting for decades? The media? Nevermind the only examples he gives are of the 80's and 90's, after communism has killed many more people than they would afterwards. Reagan didn't do crap to crack the wheels of communism, that was more of Gorbachev's doing. Reagan's sainthood is a common call from the Right, you'd think Reagan was Jesus for how greatly he's revered. In fact, many conservatives follow Reagan's teachings more than Jesus's. Spend money you don't have, tax the poor not the rich,

Until the press realizes its authority is far less important than the lives of American soldiers -- the same soldiers who fight to protect the rights of the American press -- American soldiers will continue to face heightened hatred brought on by superfluous and counterproductive media attention. The press wishes to both undermine the mission of American soldiers and simultaneously decorate soldiers' graves with flowered copies of the daily newspaper. This is perversion. The press' sick delight in its own glorification continues to increase the number of "passionless mounds" in Arlington National.

That's great, because Shapiro's "sick delight" in his side's own "glorification continues to increase the number of "passionless mounds" in Arlington National" and elsewhere. Ben is claiming the press is acting irresponsible with the lives of American Troops, while he is using them as both a prop for his side, and a shield to defend his side from attacks. The actual troops Ben doesn't care one lick for, no matter how many "Faces of War" puff pieces he writes. If Ben actually cared, he'd be pushing for more support for the troops in actual physical means, such as proper funding, armor, not putting them in harms way, adding a correct number of troops, greater funding of public works projects in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ben mentions none of this, just like he refuses to go serve himself. Ben is a selfish, selfish man whose arrogance of purpose is manifested and nurtured by a Right Wing cult that rewards him with books deals and publicity, while Ben Shapiro is ensured to never have to sacrifice the way the great men whose backs he walks on to gain his glory do. Ben Shapiro is the definative poster child for Chickenhawks. Cluck on, Ben Shapiro, you Mother Clucker!
