HOLY SHIT! GRAB A TISSUE.... WHO KNEW?

Notice the folks looking out the windows....

SIGN OF THE TIMES?

AN INTERVIEW WITH CAMILLE PAGLIA

Witty and brilliant, Camille Paglia was born the same year as Hillary Clinton.  Almost any similarity between the two women stops there.  Almost.  I was ‘introduced’ to Ms. Paglia by my mom (who, like me, is an uber-conservative) when I was 17.  Paglia is a fascinating, left-wing Libertarian who professes to be a registered Democrat.  She is forthright and honest, totally opinionated and happy to express those opinions wherever and whenever asked.  She was also an open lesbian long before it was cool. She once smoked a cigar with Rush Limbaugh after a dinner event. She’s an atheist who doesn’t mind that others are Christians.   Paglia is probably the ONLY Democrat woman I could sit through a meal with without screaming. 

“In 1992, at the glittering 25th anniversary black-tie party for “60 Minutes” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I dined at a small table with Rush Limbaugh. He was a jovial, witty, commanding figure who offered me a cigar.

“Now, I do not agree with Rush on most political issues — I voted for Ralph Nader! But Rush transformed the media landscape in America. He resurrected AM radio. From coast to coast, AM radio is buzzing and vibrant because of what Rush did. He is a master broadcaster, a master of the microphone. Anyone who is a true student of media should respect his achievements.”  Camille Paglia. 2009

She has just done an ‘email interview’ with salon.com.  Here are just two of her excerpts I found funny and insightful from this honest Democrat.

Two words: Anthony Weiner.  Your thoughts?

Two words: pathetic dork. How sickeningly debased our politics have become that this jabbering cartoon weasel could be taken seriously for a second as a candidate for mayor of New York. But beyond that, I have been amazed by the almost total absence of psychological critique in news analyses of the silly Weiner saga. For heaven’s sake, Weiner is no randy stud with a sophisticated sex life that we need to respect. The compulsion to exhibit and boast about one’s penis is embarrassingly infantile — the obvious residue of some squalid family psychodrama in childhood that is now being replayed in public....

Any hopes, fears or predictions for the presidential elections in 2016?

As a registered Democrat, I am praying for a credible presidential candidate to emerge from the younger tier of politicians in their late 40s. A governor with executive experience would be ideal. It’s time to put my baby-boom generation out to pasture! We’ve had our day and managed to muck up a hell of a lot. It remains baffling how anyone would think that Hillary Clinton (born the same year as me) is our party’s best chance. She has more sooty baggage than a 90-car freight train. And what exactly has she ever accomplished — beyond bullishly covering for her philandering husband? She’s certainly busy, busy and ever on the move — with the tunnel-vision workaholism of someone trying to blot out uncomfortable private thoughts.

I for one think it was a very big deal that our ambassador was murdered in Benghazi. In saying “I take responsibility” for it as secretary of state, Hillary should have resigned immediately. The weak response by the Obama administration to that tragedy has given a huge opening to Republicans in the next presidential election. The impression has been amply given that Benghazi was treated as a public relations matter to massage rather than as the major and outrageous attack on the U.S. that it was...

WHAT A DIFFERENCE 100 YEARS DOESN'T MAKE.....

In 1908 the Grand Canyon was designated a national monument.

In 2008, Obama was elected president and designated The Messiah

In 1912, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank, killing 1512 people.

In 2012, Obama was re-elected.  America didn't hit an iceberg, but it's sinking nearly as fast as the Titanic!

JAMES MATTIS FOR PRESIDENT!

This is circulating in an email, and personally I think Mattis should run for president.  Instead, our president is running from HIM.  Apparently Obama forced  him into an early retirement. 

1/21/2013:  CENTCOM Commander Gen. James Mattis reportedly is being forced out of his current post several months early, possibly over disagreements with Obama administration officials over policies toward Iran and other international issues.  [In other words, he made Obama’s civilian appointments squirm.]

Mattis retired on May 22, 2013 and on August 7, 2013, became a director at General Dynamics, a Defense industry contractor for shipbuilding and marine systems, defense systems, land and amphibious combat systems and munitions.  Seems to me like an excellent choice by the board and a great fit for Mattis.

Below are quotes attributed to Mattis…….. yeah – HE SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT!  [Compiled by the Washington Free Beacon Staff, March 18, 2013 

Gen. James Mattis, known to his troops as “Mad Dog Mattis,” is retiring after 41 years of military service.  The Marine Corps Times is calling Mattis the “most

1. “I don’t lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure.  I cannot even spell the word.”

2. “The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.”

3. “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.”

4. “Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact.”

5. “Marines don’t know how to spell the word defeat.”

6. “Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”

7. “The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears.”

8. “You are part of the world’s most feared and trusted force.  Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.”  (Mattis’ Letter To 1st Marine Division)

 9. “There are hunters and there are victims.  By your discipline, cunning, obedience and alertness, you will decide if you are a hunter or a victim.”

10. “No war is over until the enemy says it’s over. We may think it over, we may declare it over, but in fact, the enemy gets a vote.” [OBAMA - PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ONE!]

11. “There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It’s really great.”

12. “You cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts.  If they start living in a dream world, it’s going to be bad.”

13. “You go into Afghanistan , you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil.  You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway.  So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them.  Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know.  It’s a hell of a hoot.  It’s fun to shoot some people.  I’ll be right up there with you.  I like brawling.”

14. “I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us.  Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.”

15. “Demonstrate to the world there is ‘No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy’ than a U.S. Marine.” (Mattis’ Letter To 1st Marine Division)

16. “Fight with a happy heart and strong spirit”

YEP!  He would definitely get my vote!

VOTER FRAUD, ELECTION MONTH, AND ILLEGALS

NORTH CAROLINA PASSES A VOTER ID BILL AND THE GOVERNOR SIGNS IT AND LAWSUITS ARE FLYING IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS.

I’m sure everyone’s read the case for photo ID’s to vote – you can’t do anything in this country without proper identification EXCEPT VOTE.  The left jumps up and down and screams that ID suppresses minority voting.  First of all, this is bullshit.  Secondly, I think the number of ILLEGAL ALIENS (or whateverthefuck they are called these days) are not a problem on Election Day.  Few of them speak/read enough English to wade through a typical ballot.  And if they ARE here illegally, they would be stupid to take a chance getting caught and deported by casting one puny vote. 

Here is the problem as I see it, and as a North Carolinian I think the legislature has taken a step in the right direction to correct voter fraud.  They may have even inadvertently backed into a solution for the real problem, as I see it....

Prior to this law being signed, all a voter had to do was walk up to a precinct worker manning the ‘voter books’ and give that person their NAME and ADDRESS.  Worker flips through an alphabetical list of names, finds you and the address you gave, and puts a little checkmark by your name.  Easy enough, right?  And away you go to the shrouded little table to mark your ballot.  As you leave, you slide it into a machine and it’s counted.  Sounds easy enough, right?

Now…. Just what if….there are people working at the Board of Elections before the election starts (and there are) and perhaps there are also Precinct workers readying the books for the upcoming election (and there are) and just what if those same workers happen to make a list of addresses in their books – addresses that show NO ONE AT THAT ADDRESS HAS VOTED IN YEARS (and there are such people and addresses.)  With that list, it’s easy to go online and learn the NAME of the person/persons living at each address.

What in the world would such a list be good for? 

What if…. some unscrupulous people loaded up buses full of ‘voters’ and gave each one a ‘name and address’ and took these people to ‘early vote’.  Person goes in, tells name and address, AND VOTES.  Gets back on the bus…. is given another ‘name and address’ and is taken to another precinct… and repeats the same process.  Any guess as to how many ‘illegal votes’ could be crammed into ballot boxes around a city or STATE doing this, especially when they have DAYS (plural) to early-vote? 

But-but-but…. you say – what if the REAL registered voter decides to vote!  That LEGAL voter has to cast a ‘provisional’ ballot… meaning the ballot is basically worthless and will not be counted, because – even though that legitimate voter can PROVE he is who he says he is, there is no way to know who his ‘ID theft person’  was or how that person voted.  Provisional ballots are put aside and counted at least a WEEK after the election.  In other words, a PB is worthless.

Early voting is a ballot-box-stuffer’s dream – and don’t think for a minute these scams are NOT run like a well-oiled machine.

Other things, like motor/voter (one of the first laws Bill Clinton signed) and same-day-registration/voting (which the NC Bill also eliminates) simply aid the fraud.

We should return to an ELECTION DAY.  The Constitution calls for an ELECTION DAY… not a week or a month. [Meant for the Electoral College back in the day, but widely translated to also mean the day citizens voted].  There is a provision for anyone to vote if they will not be able to on ELECTION DAY – it’s called an absentee ballot, and it’s worked for years.

The VOTER should take some responsibility in REGISTERING and then applying for an absentee ballot if they won’t be around on Election DAY.  And if they should be ill on the first Tuesday in November?  Well, shit happens.

EAT YOUR HEART OUT, CANDY CROWLEY!  (That's probably the ONLY thing Candy Crowley hasn't eaten!)

CNN's Candy Crowley - the other half of Obama in last fall's presidential debate.  Romney said it took Obama 14 days to call Benghazi a terror attack..... Obama said he called it that the next day - and Miss Liberal Frigging Crowley injected her fat ass into the debate and said Obama was right WHEN IN FACT IT WAS A LIE!  

VALERIE JARRETT COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF??? BENGHAZI EXPLODES!

Limbaugh's opening today....

The military-order, not to initiate action, saving our men in Benghazi, was issued by the President's Advisor, Valerie Jarrett.

And this is a “phony” scandal?

OBAMA, INC. AND THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE

I would say to Mr. Obama:  That is 50 more permanent jobs than Solyndra created, and Solyndra cost the American taxpayers $535,000,000 during their brief existence.

KEYSTONE XL FACTS:

·     The $5.3-billion Keystone XL Pipeline Project is the largest infrastructure project currently proposed in the United States. Construction of the 1,179-mile pipeline will require 9,000 skilled American workers. The project will provide jobs for welders, mechanics, electricians, pipefitters, laborers, safety coordinators, heavy equipment operators and other workers who rely on large construction projects for their livelihoods.

·     In addition to construction jobs, an estimated 7,000 U.S. jobs are being supported in manufacturing the steel pipe and the thousands of fittings, valves, pumps and control devices required for a major oil pipeline.

·     TransCanada has contracts with more than 50 suppliers across the U.S., including companies in Texas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Indiana, Georgia, Maryland, New York, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Ohio, Arkansas, Kansas, California and Pennsylvania.

·     TransCanada is currently employing 4,000 Americans in Oklahoma and Texas on construction of the $2.3-billion Gulf Coast Pipeline Project, which is expected to be complete by the end of this year.

·     Construction and development of the Keystone XL and Gulf Coast Pipeline Projects is anticipated to generate $20 billion in economic impact in the United States, including $99 million in local government revenues and $486 million in state government revenues during construction.

·     The pipelines will also generate an estimated $5 billion in additional property taxes during their operational life.

THE UNIONS FAVOR BUILDING THE PIPELINE…. Just sayin’

By rejecting this project, Obama further demonstrates his desire to totally destroy this country financially.

http://keystone-xl.com/about/jobs-and-economic-benefits/

Now – if you REALLY want to know why Obama is blocking the pipeline, read the full article at the link below.  Here is an excerpt from the article, written in February of 2012:

It’s already been widely reported that Warren Buffett, a major shareholder in Obama, Inc. will be one of the primary beneficiaries of the decision from the White House to kill the Keystone pipeline and the jobs it would create.

The administration now makes no attempt at all to disguise the fact that most decisions he makes are made in the best interest of Obama, Inc. shareholders.

Buffett’s railroad, the BNSF Railway- now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Obama, Inc.- in a remarkable coincidence, will instead, apparently and patriotically, transport Canadian oil to the US at only a slight premium to the oil companies than it would have cost to transport via the Keystone pipeline.

Ohmygosh. What a fortunate coincidence for all of us. Maybe now Buffett’s secretary will be able to afford the higher tax bracket her jerk-off boss puts her in and she won’t have to decide between her medication and cat food.    Obama has decided thusly to kill the pipeline even though: 1) Transport costs will be more expensive; and 2) The transport method will introduce more of the dreaded “carbon” into our atmosphere. Remember the thing that activists have been protesting against?

NOTHING PHONY ABOUT THIS SCANDAL, MR. PRESIDENT!

What difference does it make?
Four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed in the assault by armed militants last September 11 in eastern Libya.  [Old news, nothing new here…. Move along.]

Sources now tell CNN dozens of people working for the CIA were on the ground that night, and that the agency is going to great lengths to make sure whatever it was doing, remains a secret.

CNN has learned the CIA is involved in what one source calls an unprecedented attempt to keep the spy agency's Benghazi secrets from ever leaking out.

Since January, some CIA operatives involved in the agency's missions in Libya, have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency's workings.

The goal of the questioning, according to sources, is to find out if anyone is talking to the media or Congress.

It is being described as pure intimidation, with the threat that any unauthorized CIA employee who leaks information could face the end of his or her career.

http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2013/08/01/exclusive-dozens-of-cia-operatives-on-the-ground-during-benghazi-attack/

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R, SC), speaking with FOX New’s Greta Van  Susteren on August 1, 2013 about this said the administration/CIA were hiding these people in an effort to make sure they do NOT talk to any government official.

“Including changing names, creating aliases.  Stop and think what things are most calculated to get at the truth? Talk to people with first-hand knowledge.  What creates the appearance and perhaps the reality of a cover-up?  Not letting us talk with people who have the most amount of information, dispersing them around the country and changing their names.”

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/08/breaking-obama-administration-is-hiding-benghazi-survivors-dispursing-them-around-the-country-and-changing-their-names-video/

Don’t think for a minute that this is to protect these CIA employees.  THIS IS THE SAME ADMINISTRATION THAT COULD NOT WAIT TO RUSH OUT AND IDENTIFY THE MEMBERS OF SEAL TEAM 6 WHO TOOK OUT OSAMA BIN LADEN!

This is to protect this administration’s ass – no other reason.  Obama was stoned on the night of 9/11/2012 – that is why he was missing for eight hours.  Any other president in the same circumstances would have been wide-ass awake and at the helm of that crisis that night.  It would be dereliction of duty for Obama’s inner staff NOT to ‘wake him’ on that fateful night, if he was indeed asleep.  Everyone at the White House is involved in this cover-up.  It is also being covered up and called a phony scandal by Obama in an effort to cover Hillary’s fat ass because she was a complete and utter incompetent Secretary of State and OBAMA OWES HER. 

The American people MUST DEMAND answers. 

WAS OBAMA STONED THE NIGHT BEHGHAZI BURNED?
