Now I don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh much. But I do think he was RIGHT on the “Fluke” thing. I sure as hell don’t my tax dollars going for her and her like minded cronies to breed and/or have sex at all. It’s NOT our business to cover ANY cost so they can fornicate.
Carbonite, the online back up company dumped it’s ads on Rush’s show… In solidarity with Rush I dropped them too. I hope everyone who had Carbonite will do the same. The war we are in is not for the feint of heart. Even the little things matter. And silencing speech is a tool the left uses. Us on the right can use our wallets. We are the “Responsible” folks who work, pay our bills and keep companies like Carbonite working. We can influence their actions by removing our dollars.
Please if you have Carbonite consider dropping them like a hot rock for not supporting Rush’s right to speak up for us. Regardless of you’re opinion of Rush, I ask you to think about what’s next? IF “Slut” in this instance was “Bad” wait till the general election. And also think back to the support for folks who called Sarah Palin/Michelle Bachmann/ Michelle Malkin/Ann Coulter etc far worse than that over the years…
The removal of Carbonite isn’t that hard to do. Go get yourself an external drive from best buy or some electronic store, they are fairly cheap. Set up a back up program that automatically backs up important files to the external. You can do as I do, I back up files once a month to an external which I keep in the gun safe… Just set a reminder program up. It will save you money for a little work. We’re too lazy anyway.
Been away for a couple of days. Just got back from a very relaxing time in the mountains. The bad part about coming back is you get swamped with good news…
Wikileaked a bunch of stuff MOST truly engaged Americans KNEW. After looking through a bunch of stuff and various opinions on the leaked files, I shrugged. Some in this world actually were surprised. One of my favorite parts was that of Saudi Arabia’s double talk. It’s an Arab trait. Say one thing in public for your people, but behind close doors tell the truth. Obama the academic got all his “Knowledge” of middle east issues from his professors and when it was put to the test it failed MISERABLY.
It didn’t get nearly as much play as it should have, but Obama’s June 2009 meeting with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah ended with the monarch flying into a tirade and more or less telling the President to get a grip. This was the Riyadh meeting that Obama took on his way to his insulting and failed Cairo Speech, the better to prepare himself by visiting “the place where Islam began.”The sit-down was such a disaster that Dennis Ross was hurriedly brought into the White House and given a broader role, yielding the impression that the President wanted a Middle East adviser who kind of understood something about the Middle East – and didn’t think he had one.
And the best part was the second theory of why this went so bad:
King Abdullah expected to talk about militarily confronting Iran, and he couldn’t believe it when Obama kept reciting bromides about the earth-shattering importance of the Israeli/Arab conflict and his enthusiasm for solving it. That was a regular public topic between the two – Obama’s first talk with Abdullah focused on Gaza and the President later emphasized his abiding support for Saudi Arabia’s “Israel Has To Commit Suicide” plan – but the King kind of thought he was dealing with a serious person who could separate spectacle from policy. Instead he got the equivalent of an International Relations graduate student enamored with pseudo-sophisticated “insights” he’d gleaned from Arab media outlets. Ergo, meltdown.
You can’t make this up. It kind of shoots all that “Anti-Israel” talking point BS full of holes don’t it? :rotfl:
There are plenty more EXTREMELY damaging excerpts of the WIKILEAKED dump, and now I understand the reason Obama and Holder are so interested in stopping it. See the last dump was a lot of Bush bashing. This one happens to have Obama’s name all over it.
Then we get the EARMARK ban that failed in the senate; The reason I bring this up is I found it very interesting the cast of idiots opposing it.
Eight GOP senators voted to preserve earmark spending, including Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), James Inhofe (Okla.), Dick Lugar (Ind.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Richard Shelby (Ala.). Retiring Sen. George Voinovich (Ohio) and defeated Sen. Bob Bennett (Utah) also voted against it.
No unexpected slugs on that list. Lisa Murkowski who should have lost in AK but the wonderful idiots of AK decided to write in a liberal transgendered asshat to represent them…Oh well, I live in California so I have no room to talk…
Foreign Policy is a fun topic for me.
China is as reported in the wikileak documents NOT HAPPY with North Korea. So my question is: IF the chicoms are not going to bail out the Norks why is obama being such a wimp dealing with them? IF Obama is scared of north Korea then can we ever look at Obama as a strong leader? There is no monster behind the curtain when dealing with North Korea or Iran. It’s only the “public”information that keeps that “Concern” in the minds of Americans. After seeing these documents that Wikileaked it comes as no surprise that OUR foreign Policy is remarkably transparent when compared to other nations.
I don’t trust Obama, I don’t trust any congress critter that has been in office for the last 5 years. I sure as hell don’t trust China, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia or Venezuela.
Does anyone in the free world feel confident that Obama and Hillary have a clue about foreign policy? We have laurel and hardy running the most powerful nation in the world….Feel better now? 🙄
Following on the heels of this week’s domain seizure of a large hiphop file-sharing links forum, it’s clear today that the U.S. Government has been very busy. Without any need for COICA, ICE has just seized the domain of a BitTorrent meta-search engine along with those belonging to other music linking sites and several others which appear to be connected to physical counterfeit goods.
While complex, it’s still possible for U.S. authorities and copyright groups to point at a fully-fledged BitTorrent site with a tracker and say “that’s an infringing site.” When one looks at a site which hosts torrents but operates no tracker, the finger pointing becomes quite a bit more difficult.
When a site has no tracker, carries no torrents, lists no copyright works unless someone searches for them and responds just like Google, accusing it of infringement becomes somewhat of a minefield – unless you’re ICE Homeland Security Investigations that is.
This morning, visitors to the Torrent-Finder.com site are greeted with an ominous graphic which indicates that ICE have seized the site’s domain.
I really wonder if GWB in office would this get a pass? Would this be a fascist take over of our liberties? Of course it would, but since “Duh Won” is in office… Crickets chirping…
Be very careful America about which you give up. The America you once lived in with freedom is soon becoming a nation of anything but. Where will the line be drawn for you to stand? When they come to your home at take your salt and firearms? It’s for the good of the American people right?
I know a lot of folks don’t like Glenn Beck, personally he gets on my nerves sometimes too. I’m not one of those real emotional guys, I certainly don’t think I’ll be crying for my nation anytime soon. Will I fight for it? Oh hell yeah, will I get mad as fire over the bullshit? Absofreakinlutely. Crying? Not for me…
All that being said, his “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial seems to be a damn good idea. I wish I could attend it.
Back in 2005, I talked about something like this. A march to the steps of every capital building in every state. Not carrying signs, not violent and totally SILENT. I opined that it would send an undeniable message to our elected leaders that they were NOT doing the job they were sent to do. I thought if millions of people across the nation marched in silence to the capitol buildings, and upon reaching the steps, TURNED around in complete silence, the message would be LOUD. Symbolism: The silent majority is unhappy with the direction and is turning their backs on those in office.
This rally is a good step. I think Glenn Beck is on to something here and I really hope it turns out well. You know he’s doing GOOD work by the people aligned against it.
I’ve been reluctant to post anything about this incident, but since the anti-hunters, anti-Nugent forces are all aligning to pile on, I figured I should weigh in.
Here’s the deal:
Aug. 13–Rock star and gun rights advocate Ted Nugent was fined $1,750 today in Yuba County Superior Court after pleading no contest to baiting deer on his hunting show “Spirit of the Wild.”
Yuba City attorney Jack Kopp, representing Theodore Anthony Nugent, 61, entered a no contest plea to Department of Fish and Game charges of baiting deer and not having a deer tag “countersigned” at the closest possible location, said Deputy District Attorney John Vacek.
Baiting deer is legal in some states but not in California, said state Fish and Game spokesman Patrick Foy. Baiting supplies are sold at some outdoor stores, he said.
The deer was killed in El Dorado County toward the end of deer hunting season last fall but brought to Yuba County. Two co-defendants, Mitchell Neil Moore and Ross Albert Patterson, live in Yuba County, said Vacek.
Moore was a photographer on the show. The role of Patterson, who pleaded no contest to taking an animal with bait, was not clear, said Foy.
Moore and Patterson also were represented by Kopp and did not appear in court. Moore, who pleaded no contest to possessing an animal illegally, agreed to a fine of $700. Patterson agreed to a fine of $1,225, Kopp told Judge James F. Dawson.
All three men were ordered to pay the fines by Oct. 1.
So what makes this a HOLY SHIT WE GOT TED MOMENT? Well of course it’s because he’s an outspoken advocate for Hunters, for ETHICAL Hunting, for Gun Rights, for ALL things AMERICAN.
Everyone knows I’m a huge fan of the “NUGE” I’m a hunter, I’m a fisherman, I’m an American, I believe in damn near everything this man believes in and he’s got a pulpit to shout from. You’re damn right I support this guy.
Ted’s Official statement:
To my Fellow Outdoorsmen…. You may have read the news that I pled no contest to two misdemeanor game violations in CA. I should have been better informed, more aware and I take full responsibility. Our honorable hunting lifestyle is my deepest passion.
Ted Nugent.
So the man made an error in judgment. Forgiven?. Uh Well Maybe not.
Seems as though the hunting community is taste testing the flesh. Cannibalism is running rampant throughout the hunting community. Ted’s always had his detractors. Ted’s not exactly shy about his beliefs and he’s pissed a lot of folks off. Maybe that’s why I’m a big supporter of him. Very rarely does he apologize for ANYTHING. IF he did or said something that offended you, you may as well just learn to love it…
But the Hunting Community should be his biggest supporter. We all support hunting in our own ways. Tags, licenses, equipment are all ways we support hunting, but what else do you do? Are you on the front lines against the anti’s? Ted is and he’s fended off NUMEROUS legal, and ridiculous attempts to silence him. He’s been fighting the good fight FOR ALL OF US as long as I can remember. He’s one of the biggest supporters of our Military and LEO’s. He’s kickin ass and takin names 24/7, and some in the community want to jump on this issue as a “OH MY GOD” moment?
I suggest you hunters take stock in the fight we are in and realize there are very few folks out there with the guts to tell it like it is. And when you find one, you better support that person come hell or high water. He made a mistake and he paid his fine. THE END.
Do you quit supporting your favorite NASCAR driver when he gets a speeding ticket or in a wreck? Please.
The facts of this particular incident are shady at best. I know from people that were actually there during the hunt in question. There are a few facts that people don’t know. I’m not going into all the details but I’ll share this little bit with you:
The “spike” he was accused of taking was LEGAL. Taking a “Spike” in CA is akin to killing a child. IF Ted actually killed a “SPIKE” he wouldn’t have got off with a fine.
The buck had a fork, it was a good clean shot on a YOUNG Buck. Ted hunts for meat. Ted eats what he kills, Ted also donates meat to the homeless. PERIOD.
Ted entered a plea of NO CONTEST to POSSIBLY hunting within 400 yrds of Bait. According to folks that were there NO C’mere dere was used. There was an Apple Orchard on the hunting grounds, in California I guess that’s bait. The threat of massive law suits, and ridiculous charges against Ted’s friends was enough to get Ted to fall on the sword and enter the plea. I say Kudos for protecting yourself and your friends. We pick our battles and HUNTERS in CALIFORNIA are pretty much screwed. IF ted were in AMERICA, this wouldn’t have been an issue. California is ridiculous in it’s laws, and most of the Fish and Game idiots don’t have a clue about the laws.
Many of us have told Ted stay the hell out of here. Do not hunt here in this state until we are able to undo the damage the liberpukes have done. Ted’s answer…”NOPE. I’m going to kill more shit in that state for spite, I’ll just be better informed” Gotta love it.
I’ll leave you with last nights George Lopez Show:
Yep that’s a man unafraid to speak truth.
Okay, now I’m sure the Anti-Ted troll brigade will find their way here and put fourth their clear and concise argument why Ted is a bad man…I’m sure the usual “Draft dodger” and “Child molester” comment from those that hate Ted, hunting, guns, America and anything that resembles the country we used to or could be….Beware, Ted is a little nicer to his detractors than I will be in MY BLOG.
This will be one of those special rants…So Listen up.
When George Bush was in office, from 2000 to 2008, we had an endless supply of dissenting news casts by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, and a few others. We had one channel that we could count on to deliver some supporting opinions as well as a few negatives, arguably a MORE balanced news channel during this time was Fox. YES, they actually did report some NEGATIVE news on GWB, and they did it openly and on several occasions. I never once heard any news reporter or commentator speak of GWB the way the Alphabet Networks do about Obama.
The reason this is important, and it is a fact that there is a HUGE amount of bias in today’s media, The media is supposed to INFORM, they are supposed to be digging for the TRUTH, they are supposed to be QUESTIONING power and they are supposed to be HONEST.
What I am getting at here is the reason our nation is so divided.
Right now, if you have questions about what Obama and his administration is REALLY up to, you go to FOX news. FOX is actually investigating GOVERNMENT as it should. FOX lost some credibility with me during the 2004-2006 years, when all they seemed to do is carry water for GWB, but later in 2006, they actually started investigating GWB as they should, and from that point forward they have been fairly decent in their reporting. I know Obama supporters will not agree with that, but I’m sure they believed all the reporting from the alphabet networks were accurate and balanced…Sigh.
Point being; MEDIA is supposed to be our watchdogs. They are supposed to investigate and report. WHEN they quit investigating, and only report in order to keep up with other networks investigations, they do us all a disservice. What we have now is; The MSM is engaged in Obama cheer-leading, and with the NUMBERS of news outlets involved in the cheer-leading vs the ONE that isn’t, we are having a large portion of the voters BRAINWASHED.
People in the inner cities that only watch MSNBC for example, are apt to believe that all tea party’s are KKK members without the hoods. They will believe Arizona’s law requires officers to pull over anyone that has a tan and ask them for papers. They will believe that all churches have removed the Crucifixion symbols and replaced them with Pictures of Obama. These are voters that gave us Obama in the first place.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we need to shut down MSNBC or any other Alphabet network, I’m saying we need to pressure them to do their damn job. They have a lot of resources, they have the ability to sway opinions of the weak minded (Democrats) and as it sits, they are controlling the message the WH wants out. This is why we have so much division, it’s not just the messenger (Obama) it’s his spinner division, the alphabet Networks.
We must get the CBS’s of the nation to do their job and actually investigate, report and let the viewers decide the next action. I’m not talking about Glenn Beck, O’riley, Chris Tingles or Olberman, they are all COMMENTATORS. IF you have a certain ideological belief, watch those programs, if you want to know how, what , when, and why’s you should have more channels to pick from. We do not have that right now. I can turn on ANY Alphabet network NEWS hour and see exactly how great Obama is doing, and how everything Obama has ever done is perfect…On the other hand I can turn on to FOX and see at least 3 stories of negative stories regarding an Obama action that was never reported on the other channels. WHO does this help? NOBODY!
In Venezuela, the first thing Hugo Chavez did when he got into power was shut down Media stations that investigated his actions. They now have ONE or TWO left that are continuously under siege by Government. Obama didn’t have to use threats or pressure or outright POWER to silence dissenting opinion, he had MOST of America’s media in the tank from the start. All he has to do is keep them there with favors, interviews and perks…
This is a sad state of affairs in our country and I hope the MSM will awaken soon.
I’ve often used my wallet as a means to show my displeasure about political or moral issues of companies. For example I won’t go to a theater and watch a movie that stars Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, Garafalo, Rosie O’dipshit or few others. I have my TV set to block MSNBC and I Don’t watch anything Olberdouche is on including Sunday Night pre-game shows on NBC. I don’t get the LA times delivered even though for the money they are better than my current paper…
I say it’s time to boycott ANY company or Corporation that has publicly boycotted Glenn Beck. They are trying to silence opposing opinion, and it’s coming from the top. Every penny you spend on those companies products is telling them it’s ok to silence opinion you don’t agree with.
I will not be buying anymore Apple products for one. I love my Mac’s but it’s time to take a stand.
Funny how the group that CRIES “Freedom of speech” every time they don’t like something is trying to STOP the same freedom of those that are using it to voice their opinion…Funny if it wasn’t so damn sad.
