Harrison Schultz must bethink himself quite the hipster:

I’ve got some lads in uniform in Afghanistan right now that could calibrate this little jackwagon, post-haste.

Ron Paul, Basketball Star? Watch Him Dribble Paul Krugman, Shoot 3-Pointer.

This is just excellent.

Ron Paul actually walks back his position in End the Fed, which is highly interesting.
Krugman, you miserable eclownomist, just retire: “I don’t believe in monetary policies that perpetuate depression.” Yes, you do. Fool.

Insults Too Grievous to Be Borne Gladly

Posted on | May 2, 2012 | 18 Comments

The dark mood is on me again, and I keep stumbling across occasions to remember injuries and insults heaped up like a gigantic mountain of humiliation. An inferno of rage burns in my gut, and restraining it takes a constant, conscious effort that exhausts me.

Serial betrayals by backstabbing two-faced “friends” — well, I must put it out of my mind, if possible.

Today, I’ve got business offline that will keep me away from the blog most of the day, and I’ll try to cool my temper. Eventually, some liberal will say or do something stupid, and will regret it: Looks like you done pissed off the wrong redneck today, buster.

Meanwhile, remember me in your prayers.

UPDATE: So now I’m blogging from a coffee shop in downtown D.C.  — got a few meetings today — and what’s the first thing I see when I log on?

Troglopundit wants some of this pent-up rage. Listen here, you overgrown Pleistocene throwback: It’s not my fault the diminutive hipster douchebag Sean Hackbarth moved to D.C. and thereby deprived you of your status as the Second Ugliest Blogger in Wisconsin. Stop blaming me for everything, OK? Blame Telford!

UPDATE II: Helpful advice from Bill Quick:

Well, try not to strangle anybody in the business deal. That’s usually a deal breaker.

Thanks, Bill. Such a reaction would probably be frowned on by the guys with wires in their ears. Kind of an important meeting. IYKWIMAITYD.

While The #Occupier-In-Chief Flitted Off To Central Asia, #Occupy Shambled On

While BHO separated himself as far as  physically possible from the tanked economy, the #Occupy hippies celebrated Victims of Communism Day with their usual brand of dangerous idiocy:

In Cleveland, a few of them tried going a little farther than throwing paint at police stations. The FBI announced today that they arrested five “anarchists” last night after breaking up a conspiracy to blow up a Cuyahoga bridge and four other targets today

American Glob has a fine roundup of the video and blog posts.

If President Barack Obama deserves any credit for the takeout of bin Laden, then he certainly deserves to eat the dog that is #Occupy. This movement represents the culmination of the societal decay that BHO was supposed to fix. Somehow. And yet, as always, he achieves the opposite of his stated objectives.

Can we still blame Bush, or did that dog get eaten before it could hunt again?

Blog Favorite Sean Bielat Rocking MA-4

Stacy forwarded this tidbit about Tea Party favorite Sean Bielat:

Another important milestone was reached on April 11th, when the campaign officially collected enough petition signatures to qualify Sean for the ballot. Sean personally submitted the signatures to the Elections Division at the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s offices in Boston yesterday, almost two months ahead of the deadline.


This blog has no idea if he’s 1/32nd Iroquois or not, but that wouldn’t matter anyway, because he’s 100% American!

Sean Bielat for Congress!

Will The SEALs Do For BHO What Goldberg Is Doing For Progressives?

Posted on | May 1, 2012 | 26 Comments

Bagram sucks, I can affirm, having languished there for a couple of months. If #OccupyResoluteDesk wants to #OccupyBagram, more power to him. How cheap is his one-year-on, please-can-we-not-talk-economy victory lap going to look in the face of blowback from the SEALs, though?

The bulk of the people paying attention this year kinda know that this is all stuff and nonsense. Obama’s record bounces like a check with his face on it.

But the scope of the rebuke isn’t limited only to Barack himself and the one dog bone he has to gnaw after 3.5 years in office. Goldberg’s new book, The Tyranny of Cliches, out today, is going to have the effect on the Left as a whole that the SEALs are having on Obama (emphasis original):

Meanwhile, liberals and other progressives hold it as a bedrock article of ideological faith that they are not ideological. In short: Pragmatism is the disguise progressive and other ideologues don when they want to demonize competing ideologies.

I actually don’t think Jonah is going far enough here: Progressives aren’t just demonizing competing ideologies, they’re demonizing rationality itself. Every play of theirs seems an attack on the foundational ideas of Western Civilization: equality before the law, private property, freedom of conscience and liberty. However, if this book does as well as Liberal Fascism (I expect it will do even better), the Left is going to find itself reduced to wrapping itself in the woobie and whine in the corner.

My intention is to post a little quote from every chapter, as I savor this outing.

Update: cue The Lid with the SEAL video. Note that there boats, swift or not, were not used in the famous raid:

OMG! ‘Peace Studies’ Dude Blames Jews, Recommends Reading ‘Protocols’?

Posted on | May 1, 2012 | 16 Comments

Our secret Zionist masters have been kinda late with the payments lately, but my role in the conspiracy still requires me to denounce this:

Johan Galtung, Norwegian sociologist nicknamed the “father of peace studies,” made anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli remarks while lecturing at the University of Oslo, in an article published afterward in the Norwegian press and in an interview with Haaretz that followed.
Among other statements, Galtung claimed that a possible connection exists between the terrorist responsible for the massacre of children in Norway last summer, and the Mossad. “The Jews control U.S. media, and divert for the sake of Israel,” wrote Galtung in an article published in Norway . . .
Galtung also recommended reading “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” – one of the most popular anti-Semitic texts in the world.
Professor Galtung, 82-years-old, is one of the founders of the discipline called “Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution,” as well as a founder of the international Peace Research Institute in Oslo. . . .
Galtung’s repeated anti-Semitic remarks were exposed by the website of the Norwegian periodical, “Humanist.”

(Via Memeorandum.) I’d offer some commentary here, but headquarters in Tel Aviv hasn’t yet told me what my opinion will be.

UPDATE: Daniel Bergstein Foster at Dual Citizen National Review reads this a little further down into the article:

Galtung stated that there is a possible link between Anders Behring Breivik, responsible for massacring dozens of children in Norway last summer, and Jewish and Israeli factions. The connection is supposedly based on the fact that the murderer has ties to the “Freemasons” organization, “which has Jewish origins,” according to Galtung. The supposed connection to Israel is through the Mossad – which Galtung believes might have given Breivik his orders.

I’m sure that famous Norwegian “peace” advocate Vidkun Quisling would be so proud of Professor Galtung.

BTW, while we’re awaiting our monthly delivery of shekels from the International Zionist Conspiracy, I’d like to point out that we are always happy to accept U.S. dollars from Gentiles. Mazel tov!

Does Steve Forbes Know (or Care) What Lewis Dvorkin Is Doing to His Brand?

Posted on | May 1, 2012 | 17 Comments

OK, I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while, and actually started to do it two or three times, but set it aside, until at last I’ve had enough: What the hell is Steve Forbes thinking?

What finally pushed me over the edge was when I realized that Rick Ungar is now writing under the Forbes banner.

Does that name ring a bell? In 2009, when the body of Census worker Bill Sparkman was found in a Kentucky cemetery, it was Rick Ungar who notoriously declared, “Send the Body to Glenn Beck” — falsely claiming that “anti-government” rhetoric by Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Lou Dobbs had made Sparkman the first victim of Tea Party violence.

Unfortunately for Ungar’s credibility, it turned out that Sparkman had committed suicide and staged it to look like a murder, apparently hoping to secure an extra life-insurance payout for his adopted son.

Ungar has never even admitted he was wrong, much less apologized to the innocent people he defamed, and now this reckless smear merchant has been rewarded with a gig writing for Forbes! Read more
