Peaceful Transition?

"Manx" has some thoughts about the presidential transition.

Peaceful Transition?

My Aunt Fanny!

The party of Lincoln and Reagan has finally come together. They now stand locked arms weepy-eyed, wringing hands and groveling with apologies as they indicate responsibility for the Jan 06 Capitol Hill debacle. At the same time the party of Wilson and Obama is screaming Impeachment! - 25th Amendment! - Resign!

Impeachment? Pelosi can keep beating that dead horse and very well muster enough from her confederacy of dunces to hold court in the house. A court right out of “A Tale Of Two Cities” with Pelosi playing the lead role as the crone Madame Defarge -  and like Defarge right there in the front. As Pelosi lives out her fantasy her elected minions, most of the media and a dubious section of the public drool and claw like my cat when I tease her with a dead fish.

Shouts of “IMPEACHMENT!” and “Watch what we do Monday!” resonate this Friday night like howling primates at a zoo. OK, file the damn articles and vote on it in the House. Then what? It goes to Senate and where are those reprobates? Vacation - don’t return until Jan 20 - Inauguration Day. That would require one speedy trial for sure.

We’re witnessing a disaster in the making that will play out at least for the next two years. At the same time we just witnessed what amounted to the first shot of the Civil War at Fort Sumter redux when Ashli Babbitt was murdered in cold blood.

And as things boil and fester the president elect along with his blind and lame screech “Peaceful transition” as Donald Trump is forced to run a gauntlet lined with savages - a gauntlet in part his own making.

 

The Past and Future of the NFL

"Peter" has some thoughts on the NFL.

Some folks have come to despise the NFL. For fans who follow the sport, most of this will be a simple reminder of things you already know. For the rest, it's a wake-up call:

In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling before each game to pray, they also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his eye-black to avoid glare, and made him take it off.

In 2013 the NFL fined Brandon Marshall for wearing green cleats to raise awareness for people with mental health disorders.

In 2014 Robert Griffin III (RG3) entered a post-game press conference wearing a shirt that said "Know Jesus Know Peace" but was forced to turn it inside out by an NFL uniform inspector before speaking at the podium.

In 2015 DeAngelo Williams was fined for wearing "Find the Cure "eye black for breast cancer awareness.

In 2015 William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to raise awareness for domestic violence. (Not that the NFL has a domestic violence problem..).

In 2016 the NFL prevented the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a decal on their helmet in honor of 5 Dallas Police officers killed by the same sniper in the line of duty.

In 2016 the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11.

In Sports, they should know something about "Playing Fair." So tell me again how the NFL supports free speech and expression. It seems quite clear based on these facts that the NFL has taken a position against any action by NFL players demonstrating RESPECT for any issue: For God, social causes such as mental health, cancer, domestic violence, for cops killed arbitrarily for being cops, or for the Memory of 9/11, etc.

BUT they DO allow demonstrations of DISRESPECT for our National Flag, our National Anthem, for America , and for the American People, particularly if it will help mollify a particular Group and its supporters. That is what the NFL has shown itself to be.

We must Honor our military; too many of whom have come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin. And support our law enforcement and remember the 18 officers that have died at the hands of this communist uprising.

Let's get the word out and flood their office with complaints and please, do not support them by watching their games. Remember what they represent and how un-American their activities are. Supporting BLM is supporting the subversive Marxists Anarchists aggressively attacking our country. BLM leaders have publicly stated that they are Marxists and that they are following the Communist Manifesto's Rules for Seizing Power.

The Destruction of Democracy

 

"Ernie" has some thoughts on BLM.

 

Our local university, UofMemphis, has announced that this year’s football helmets will say “BLM” instead of the usual letter “M”.  Isn’t that precious.  They want to honor terrorism and anti-American anarchy instead of their school. After all the many millions of dollars worth of damage these Marxist thugs have waged across our beautiful country, not to mention serious injuries and death, UofM wants to honor them for their contribution to the overthrow of the greatest government ever conceived.  What’s next?  KKK on Kansas or Kentucky helmets?

 

    It’s horrifying to see what communist thugs such as these will do to destroy America. They’ll tell any lie; destroy any person, statue, flag or tribute; and shred the greatest governmental document ever written, the US Constitution. And in the process they’ll condemn the brave men who put their lives on the line to come together and form a “more perfect union”.  Nothing is sacred to anarchists, not even God.

 

  This anti-America hatred and destruction is pumping new life into groups like the KKK. It’s also forcing whites to look for patriotic groups who will openly confront these fascists groups, and who will come to our defense if needed.

 

    Some of our white forefathers were slave owners, that’s true.  But they didn’t start slavery. That had been a normal way of life for thousands of years before them.  It was our brave white leaders who outlawed slavery by outlawing it in very constitution BLM thugs despise.

 

    The push to destroy democracy is growing fast and spreading all across the US.  Especially among the leftists in the democrat party.  The division among races is threatening any chance for a peaceful solution.  Question now is, when does the real shooting start?

 

 

 

Is 60 Minutes Biased?

"Manx" has some thoughts about 60 Minutes.

Sixty Minutes (SM) is a worn out liberal tabloid hell-bent on keeping itself contemporary not through current events but rather through promoting self-loathing, disdain for big business, white guilt and whatever else might appeal to followers of “New York Times,” “Mother Jones,” NPR, PBS news and the like.

When’s the last time a matronly woman in a cotton print dress from JC Penney presented a story? A story something like a farmer in Nebraska who teaches kids how to plow fields and plant seeds. Don’t recall? Neither do I. Instead SM promotes staffers like the one in a too-short leather skirt who should be hiding rather than flaunting those boney knees. Someone who repeatedly presents similar stories on the line of inner city “youth” playing Bach or Vivaldi on Stradivarius violins donated by something similar to a Soros offshoot foundation.

Then there are the exposes such as those of people who travel the world to places in defiance of State Department restrictions or warnings, get in a jam in some third world cesspool, then are indignant they weren’t rescued by Uncle Sam.

Evil pharmaceutical companies? Count on SM to pull out those tearjerkers on a slow news night.

Now SM is jumping on a bandwagon that is only going to gain momentum as this country approaches the end of the Obama debacle. An end where Obama will make Janet Reno, her then henchman Eric Holder and their majordomo Bill Clinton look like pikers with their get out of jail free cards also known as presidential pardons. And one pardon in particular. A pardon that fans of Che Guevara and Mao have been pushing for. A burning desire for a posthumous presidential pardon for Ethel Rosenberg. Yes, Ethel Rosenberg, the conspirator in that treasonous cabal to aid Stalin with our national secrets.

Rosenberg has now become a cause célèbre for history revisionists. Those revisionist folks who hate history, tradition, values and just about anything that has been accepted as the norm by the majority. And how does SM fit in? It’s now being reported a “forthcoming segment of ‘60 Minutes’ that will endeavor to show Ethel received an unfair trial and never should have been executed.”

So expect a SM segment with someone like Charlie Rose at his hangdog best giving a heart-rending performance in a massive attempt to solicit pity and thereby support and virtually a demand that Obama pardon someone who didn’t give a damn about her fellow citizens.

By the way, I never liked Andy Rooney either – a liberals’ lib disguised as a grandfatherly curmudgeon.

Charles Barkley Speaks Out on Ferguson

"Ernie" has some thoughts on Ferguson.

  I don't always agree with Charles Barkley but he hit the nail on the head when being interviewed on a local Philly radio station.  Something to the effect that Ferguson protestors aren't blacks, they're "scumbags".  He went on to say (sic), "what would our inner cities be like if there were no cops.  They'd be like the old west."

 

     Obama has shown us just how objective he is regarding race relations when Al Sharpton (i.e. the black Yassar Arafat) has been to the WH 82 times as a "race relations advisor".  He meets Obama's requirements:  White hater, America hater, "scumbag" revolutionary who wants to destroy the country.

 

     With all the rhetoric about what happened in Ferguson, it's expected that the blacks don't believe anything said in the Grand Jury testimonies, and if the whites do believe it that just proves they're racists.  It's obvious that Obama, Holder, Sharpton and their Marxist followers want to use this event to further separate the races, just as Sal Alinsky proposed.  However, it's my opinion that the motive for their racial hatred towards whites goes beyond this.  I think the agenda here is nationalizing law enforcement just as they've nationalized health care, education, media, environment, oil/gas/coal production, etc.  Obama has already started the ball rolling by insinuating that the police are the problem (not the black rioters, drug dealers, looters, arsonists, crooks, etc), and has suggested enacting federal laws that train law enforcement to be more attuned to and understanding of black "plight".  In other words it's law enforcement's job to "make friends" with black communities.  His $75M for body cameras is a joke.  The soul purpose of that is to control and punish the cops.

 

     Remember in his 2007 campaign he said we needed a civilian military as well funded, armed and manned as the national military?  By nationalizing law enforcement, his goal could very well be achieved.  

 

     I think it's time to acknowledge that the bulk of racial problems in this country are not due to white racism, it's due to the hip hop, in your face, drug infested, gang infested, criminal culture that's grown out of the inner city.  Is it any wonder that responsible whites and blacks are afraid of the violence that could be directed at them at any moment for any reason?

 

     Let's not forget that the big losers in today's racial unrest are the responsible, productive, patriotic blacks who want to live in peace and see their kids get the same opportunity.  Good luck with that.

 

Is American Culture Dying?

"Ernie" has some thoughts of the demise of American culture.

Obama made it very clear in his 2008 campaign that he was going to fundamentally transform America.  He didn't say how, or what he was going to transform it to, but after 5 years of this disastrous administration we have a pretty clear idea. 

 

     As much as he'd like to take full responsibility for what's befallen us as a country and a people, this ideology really started long before his regime took office.  You can go all he way back to that Woodrow Wilson, the nation's first "progressive" statists who preached the growth and power of the government.  But wait, let's not forget Teddy Roosevelt.  For all his admirable qualities, he was the first conservationist president who took millions of acres out of the private sector and gave it to the government to "preserve the natural environment".  

 

     Back to the "how" part of the transformation, that too was designed and implemented back in the FDR days.  It began with the work projects designed to defeat the Great Depression.  What it really did was transfer personal responsibility to various government welfare programs.  Though the media gave him full credit for ending the depression, it was the second world war that put America back on a path for economic growth, primarily by creating a massive industrial revolution.  

 

     It was FDR's charisma that began transforming the media from journalism to the propaganda wing of the democrat party.  That situation has grown out of control and probably irreversible.  In addition the "progressives" gained control of the educational system and eventually the entertainment industry.  The influence of these 3 entities to implement Obama's ideology is insurmountable.

 

     Most recently beginning with Clinton and exploding under the Obama regime, the fuel that runs the "transformation" engine is in these new phrases....Political Correctness (PC) and diversity.  As with integration, affirmative action, Head Start, quotas and numerous other welfare programs, the lower classes (primarily blacks) were going to be freed from their slavery mentality and lifted up to become part of the great American culture.  Such things as learning about personal responsibility, love for country, work ethic, career opportunities, unity with other ethic groups, Christian values, etc.  You know, the culture that made Americans proud and productive for 150 years.  Has it worked?  Absolutely not.  School integration didn't lift the black culture up, it brought their inner city culture into public schools and helped destroy the best educational system in the world.  But we cater to this backsliding into the abyss in the name of diversity and PC.  As a result the number of blacks feeding at the government trough has skyrocketed, new welfare programs keep on coming, and America is on the verge of bankruptcy.

 

    But this destruction of the proud American culture doesn't stop there.  Look at the worlds of music and sports.  Music is nothing more than drug enhanced screaming, and sports arenas have become the Roman coliseums of the new century.  Sportsmanship has been replaced with endzone dances, chest pounding, trash talking, tattoos, body piercing, in-your-face boasting, and other inner city inventions. 

 

     Add to this the influx of hispanics flooding across the border.  Again in the names of PC and diversity, we have to let them bring their cultures with them, and sacrifice our American culture and traditions to accommodate theirs.  Heaven help us as the Islamic influence continues to grow and begins crowding out Christianity, Judaism and American traditions.  Come to think of it, it's already happening.  Are you ready for Shariah law?  You wouldn't want to offend the people who are trying to destroy us, now would you?

 

    Abandoning the tradition of the proud American culturalism that built this country into the worlds most powerful, wealthiest, freest, most compassionate (internationally & domestically) and innovative nation in the history of mankind, we are dooming the country to failure.  Just like Greece, Spain, Italy, and most of the other Euro Zone, only worse.  When the giant falls, the noise is much louder, the destruction more devastating.   

 

     Would the last person left alive please turn out the lights?     

Great Lines from the Republican Convention

"Peter" recorded some great lines from the GOP Convention.

Transcript of Mitt Romney's speech at the RNC | Fox News

 

The soles of Neil Armstrong's on the moon made permanent impressions on our souls.

 

... we went to bed at night knowing we lived in the greatest country in the history of the world

 

Tonight, that American flag is still there on the Moon. And I don't doubt for a second that Neil Armstrong's spirit is still with us -- that unique blend of optimism, humility, and the utter confidence that, when the world needs someone to do great things, you need an American.

 

First, by 2020, North America will be energy independent by taking advantage of our oil, are coal, our gas, our nuclear, and renewables.

 

Second, we will give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow.  When it comes to the school your child will attend, every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance.

 

Third, we will make trade work for America by forging new trade agreements, and when nations cheat in trade, there will be unmistakable consequences.

 

Fourth, to assure every entrepreneur and every job creator that their investments in America will not vanish, as have those in Greece, we will cut the deficit and put America on track to a balanced budget.

 

And fifth, we will champion small businesses, America's engine of job growth. That means reducing taxes on business, not raising them.  It means simplifying and modernizing the regulations that hurt small businesses the most, and it means we must rein in skyrocketing cost of health care by repealing and replacing Obamacare.

 

Transcript of Paul Ryan's speech at the RNC | Fox News

 

College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life.

 

none of us have to settle for the best this administration offers, a dull, adventureless journey from one entitlement to the next, a government planned life, a country where everything is free -- but us

 

here is our pledge.
   We will not duck the tough issues, we will lead.
   We will not spend the next four years blaming others, we will take responsibility.
   We will not try to replace our founding principles, we will reapply our founding principles.

 

Transcript of Marco Rubio's speech at the RNC | Fox News

 

Our problem is not that he is a bad person.  Our problem is that he is a bad president.

 

under Barack Obama, the only change is that hope is hard to find

 

he stood behind the bar all those years so that one day I could stand behind a podium, in the front of the room

 

Let us make sure they will write that we did our part. That, in the early years of this new century, we lived in an uncertain time, but we did not allow fear to make us abandon what made us special. That we chose, not more government instead of more freedom; we chose the principles of our founding to solve the challenges of our time.  We chose a special man to lead us In a special time. We chose Mitt Romney to lead our nation and, because we did, the American miracle lived on for another generation to inherit.

 

Transcript of Clint Eastwood speech at RNC | Fox News

 

we own this country

 

It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it.  Politicians are employees of ours

 

when somebody does not do the job, we've got to let them go

Go ahead.
   AUDIENCE:  Make my day!

 

 

The Joe Paterno Legacy

"Peter" has some thoughts on Joe Paterno.

Penn State Tears Down Statue Of Joe Paterno - Paterno Statue Removed - Fox Nation

 

Joe Paterno's statue taken down from outside Penn State football stadium; NCAA set to levy sanctions against school - NYPOST.com

 

What PERVERT would even SUGGEST to erect a statue to a man who is still alive? This level of cult of personality used to be practiced under Stalin. The statue was erected in 2001, Paterno died a couple of months ago. Talk about HUBRIS...

 

But the Sandusky scandal was just the latest one involving Penn State. A couple of years ago the school made the news when one of its star researchers was shown to have doctored data in an unsuccessful attempt to prove global warming. Before that, they have been mentioned more and more often in connection with "research" advancing other pet socialist theories.

 

And before that, Penn State made the news for being the nation's number one "party school," surpassing such traditional party schools as just about any in CA or FL.

 

Go Lions...
