New York Times Errs In Reporting Protest

Sep 13, 2009 Political

There was a huge protest in DC with an estimated 1.3 to 2 million** people descending on the Capitol to protest out of control government and its out of control spending. The protests were about the health care overhaul as well as the stimulus, the cap and trade and all the other items that have led to a deficit of 1.3 TRILLION dollars. People have awakened to how out of control government is, a condition that is not specific to any one party. Government has been out of control for years and Republicans have been as bad as Democrats when it comes to fiscal responsibility.

We now have the party of big government and the party of bigger government from which to choose.

The New York Times though, saw it differently. They reported that the protest was against Obama. This is how most liberals (except those who were at the protest) see any condemnation of government. It, to them, is against Obama.

As President Barack Obama flew to Minnesota on Saturday to rally support for his health care plan, a sea of protesters filled the west lawn of the Capitol and spilled onto the National Mall on Saturday in the largest rally against Obama since he took office, a culmination of a summer-long season of protests that began with opposition to the health care overhaul and grew into a broader dissatisfaction with government. Statesman.com (reprint of NYT story) [emphasis mine]

The protest was not against Obama and was not a conservative only event though I am sure his ego leads him to believe this. Certainly the partisan NYT holds this view as does the Washington Post which reported that:

Tens of thousands of conservative protesters, many complaining that the nation is racing toward socialism, massed outside the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, angrily denouncing President Obama’s health-care plan and other initiatives as threats to the Constitution.

The protest no doubt consisted mostly of conservatives but there were many liberals and moderates as well. The common thinking in the ivory towers of the media is that no logical person would oppose this government (and in their view, Obama) so it must be the conservatives who are protesting.

Lost in all of this are the Democrats in Congress who oppose the legislation. They have the numbers to get done what they want but are unable because their own oppose the legislation. This is because their constituents, people of all political beliefs, let them have an earful during the August recess.

The media wing of the Democratic party would have America believe that the only people opposed to the government’s actions are conservatives and that the protests are against Obama. Both of these statements are incorrect and show a lack of journalistic integrity.

Americans of all political stripes are concerned about the out of control spending of the government and of the way that item after item is rushed through with little debate and with no one reading what the bills contain. People are also tired of being lied to.

Americans do not want the bills for the government’s inability to exercise fiscal restraint passed on to their children and grandchildren.

People have had enough and are demonstrating to show politicians their distrust and dissatisfaction.

They have that right under our Constitution in the same Amendment that allows freedom of the press.

It is too bad that the press lacks the integrity of the people who protest.

**This number is from earlier reports that were attributed to ABC News. ABC is saying it never made those estimates. The numbers now reported are from 75,000 to healthy 6 figures depending upon who you ask. The issue in the post is how the news attributed this to a protest against Obama by conservatives, which is a lie. But since someone was kind enough to point out the number issue I wanted to make it clear.

Why Don’t They Send The Muslims Back To The Desert?

Mar 10, 2009 Political

I know it will not be a popular position among the liberals who think that if we all hold hands and sing songs the world will get along just fine. I am sure that the erroneous screams of racist will reverberate (Muslim is NOT a race dunderheads) but I care not. All the moonbattery aside, the issue is really the infiltration of radical Muslims into the Western world.

They come to our countries and then they protest us and trump up phony accusations in order to slowly advance sharia. They are terrible guests who think that because a country has been good enough to let them in, they own the place.

In England the leeches are moving in and getting their way in imposing their will. They can marry up to four women and then soak the taxpayers for welfare. God help you if you try to interfere or say something.

A UK military unit returned from duty in Iraq only to be met by a bunch of Muzzies protesting them and calling them baby killers. If those people had not appeared as Middle Eastern I would have sworn they were the filthy hippies that protested the Vietnam war in the 60s.

These cretins were in the UK protesting that country’s soldiers. How stinking rude can a group of people be? It would be one thing if they were in their own countries but they are guests in the UK. Yes, I know some could have been citizens but they (or their ancestors) had to get there somehow. The UK should round up all these malcontents and send them back from where they came.

Send every last stinking one of them on military aircraft manned by the soldiers they protested. If these animals are so concerned for Iraq then send them to Iraq. Just land and drop them off in the desert and tell them to start walking. If they cause trouble then shoot them.

It seems like everyday I read about some Muslim who is upset about what someone said or did. People can’t eat pork in schools or workplaces because of them. Women are treated as second class citizens in the workplace. They demand special rights and too often they get them.

I want to make it clear. I don’t give a rodent’s derriere if they do not like pork, or dogs or if they expect women to be covered and to be treated like property. This is the United States and we don’t play that way. If they do not like it they can get in line behind all the other people in line to kiss my…

Now, I know Muslims who are citizens or who are otherwise here legally and they act like human beings. They do not expect people to change for them and they demonstrate mutual respect. One guy at the gas station (sounds like a bad Biden story) and I were talking and he said we should go to Iran and “kick his a$$” in a discussion about Ahmadinejad.

The problem is, there are too few like this and too many who think that they have a right to impose their will and to act like they own the place. These are the radicals and there are far too many of them.

Here is how the rule should be. If you are here and you protest us over what happens in a Muslim country then you get shipped out. If you complain about pork, dogs, alcohol, tobacco or any other thing that is not acceptable in your culture then you get a one way ticket out of here.

This is our country and you either live in it according to our rules or you get OUT.

Trust me when I say that we will not miss you.

As for our troops and those of the coalition. Dip your bullets in pig grease and let them know that is what you do.

I hate radical Muslims.

All Out War In Gaza

Dec 29, 2008 Political

The Israelis have had enough of Hamas lobbing rockets and mortars into their country and last Saturday the small country unleashed pure hell in Gaza. The Israeli Air Force bombed Hamas strongholds and tunnels as well as buildings and facilities the Israelis believe were being used to further Hamas’ war making ability.

The Arab world expressed its anger and the anti Semites in many countries, including the USA, have protested the actions taken by Israel. Palestinian and Hamas sympathizers are denouncing the actions of Israel as barbaric and inhumane. Interestingly, none of these miscreants were seen protesting all the time that Hamas was shelling Israel. It would seem that these people are OK with Hamas attacking Israel but are a bit upset over the response that Stevie Wonder could have seen coming.

Hamas is crying for help as well:

Hamas, which is branded a terror group by Israel and the West, has lashed out at the world for not doing enough to end the blitz.

Israel is “committing a holocaust as the whole world watches and doesn’t lift a finger to stop it,” Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum told reporters. Breitbart

Hamas is lashing out at the world for not doing enough to stop Israel from attacking. I guess it escapes these people that they held the key to preventing the attacks in the first place. All they had to do was stop launching rockets and mortars into Israel. It is that plain and simple and Hamas and its protesting sycophants are either blind to this notion or are too stupid to understand it.

The simple truth is that Israel is retaliating for attacks on its country. Israel warned Hamas that it would be attacked if it did not stop but Hamas continued demonstrating arrogance by increasing the attacks. Now it wants the world to step in and prevent this “holocaust.”

Since the Muslims do not believe in the Holocaust that exterminated millions of Jews why should anyone give credence to the claims of a holocaust that involves fewer than 1000 lives, most of which are bad guys?

No, Hamas knows that words have effect and they are using “holocaust” when referring to an act of war in order to garner sympathy. Israel is not lining up Muslims and sending them to gas chambers to be killed. Israel is using military force to end attacks on its nation.

Hamas made its bed and now it can sleep in it.

As for the protesters, they should have been protesting Hamas to stop the rocket attacks. Silence equals agreement and by remaining silent they agreed with what Hamas was doing.

Now they can watch as those they silently encouraged are obliterated provided, of course, Israel does not stop short as in skirmishes past.

Code Pink is Absolutely Right

May 8, 2008 Military, Political

Code Pink has been outside a Marine recruiting station in Berkeley California for some time now. They have gotten special treatment from the town government and they have been allowed to protest the Marines. They have been loud and obnoxious and they are lucky that someone has not wiped the street up with them and despite their dwindling numbers and the relative ineffectiveness of their protests, they continue on. They have themes to liven things up and add some spice to their otherwise boring lives of unemployment. They have a theme for tomorrow and for the first time I must say that Code Pink has hit the nail on the head. They are 100% correct with their theme and I actually agree with them.

Tomorrow’s theme is witches, clowns, and sirens. I can think of few other themes that would fit Code Pink and its members as accurately as this one. Those that I can come up with are not suitable for mention in polite company so these are the next best and describe these people to a tee. They are witches, they are certainly clowns and they act like sirens¹ in that they would love to lead our military (and our country) to destruction by continually singing a tired old tune.

Yes America, as much as I hate to admit it I agree with Code Pink 100% and they have my complete backing with their theme for tomorrow. I could not agree more with them and I think they have finally spelled out what they really are.

You can’t make this stuff up.

But Don’t Hang Bad Guys

Nov 21, 2007 General

Stephen King’s Mist has been made into a movie and the ending was changed. King likes the ending so much he thinks anyone who reveals it should be killed:

Frank wrote a new ending that I loved. It is the most shocking ending ever and there should be a law passed stating that anybody who reveals the last 5 minutes of this film should be hung from their neck until dead. First Showing

It is too bad these Hollywood types don’t feel the death penalty is warranted for actual criminals. They all cried about Hussein, they cried about Tookie Williams and they protest every time some murderous thug is set to be executed.

No, they will protest killing a murderer and will protest the “right” to murder an unborn child. And now, God forbid anyone discloses the ending to a King movie.
