Shadows In The Rain

Olbermann SUCKS part 2

2008-10-21T23:13:00.003-04:00

It should come as no surprise that I am no fan of Keith Olbermann and I was channel surfing and came across his tabloid like program. Once again his bashing of McCain and his vote fraud scandal. One man was arrested for voter fraud and it should be headline news, but when you have the ACORN story of their consistent vote fraud scandals (back dating to before 2004) it should not even be mentioned. Olbermann continues by saying that ACORN followed the law by turning in such obvious illegal registration cards. The case should be made that several of the registration cards magically slipped through the crack and ended up on the registration rolls in a few states. Why would ACORN be under investigation for vote fraud if they were simply following the law. They wouldn't and Olbermann knows that. This is just another futile attempt for him to be a real journalist rather than commentator. Unlike other real news programs that have real journalists, Olbermann fails to ever have anyone, other those who are in lockstep with Obama and the liberal freak show candidates, as a guest on the show and debate real topics. Instead of thinking and being to defend ideas, he just gets another liberal fool to spout off at the mouth. If Rachel Madcow didn't already have her own show, Countdown should have used her as a co-host to the socialist broadcast. We can only hope that Countdown will be cancelled due to Olbermann really jeopardizing his career by his own words. So Olbermann, goodnight, and I can only pray for your quick demise from TV.

ACORN And Obama, The Vote Getters

2008-10-09T18:40:00.004-04:00

Well, well, well what have we here, ACORN and possible voter registration fraud in Missouri. Color me surprised, or rather should I say 'Its about time somebody looked into this phony group'. ACORN is the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group who is heavily backing Obama. Recent events in several parts of the country including the home state of Ms. McCatskill (D)- Missouri (who has been such a vocal advocate of Obama.s that I think she is hoping for a Cabinet position), have indicated that agents of ACORN have been registering people up to as many as 72 times per voter. Does this not scream of fraudulent intentions? It is not been a secret that the leaders of ACORN have had strong ties to the democrat party as well Obama. In the beginning the organization may have truly wanted to reform, but all too common now is the theme of reform and it seems that ACORN and it minion of workers have taken it upon themselves to voice reform no matter the cost. Since 2004 ACORN employees have been the heart of investigation involving voter registration fraud. In 2006 over 1400 fraudulent voter registrations were identified. The same occurrence in Michigan, Ohio and Missouri.
The history of ACORN was essentially to reinforce the welfare system by ensuring that those in need had the basics in order to survive. In recent years they have had a stronger voice when the topic of affordable housing. (See the segue into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) Now that brings us back to the most recent economic disaster, the multi billion prostituting of the American taxpayer. ACORN wasn't the reason for the problem, they just happened to contribute vocally in support of the deregulation in 1999. They felt that the housing markets were becoming increasing unfair to those who can't afford a home. I always thought if you can't afford something then you won't be buying, but somewhere in the infinite wisdom of ACORN leaders, the issue was nothing more than another topic of race. Enter Obama. ACORN is now working in overdrive to ensure that the multitudes of voters vote Hussein Obama. The American public needs to realize that the length to get a politician in office can be a direct reflection of an organizations ethics, integrity and policies. Obama needs to distance himself from the illegal vote registering machine of ACORN and tell the American people that their actions only hurt the cause. The Republicans need to seize this opportunity and call Obama out on the issue and see if his actions represent what is best for America.

The Obama Kool-Aid

2008-10-06T23:32:00.003-04:00

It is no secret that Obama is the media favorite, not just to win the presidency, but to save a ravaged US government from certain peril. All this fawning for the Obamessiah is getting to be a bitter pill to swallow. He does have rabid fans who don't necessarily care about his plan details, but rather the fact that he is promising the world. I seem to get this cult like following aspect to Obama and his supporters. More precisely, the Jim Jones type of following. Obama's supporters are not just simply passionate fools who will argue points, but they give him holy reverence and in many occasions compare him to God and Jesus. There is no doubt that Obama is charismatic and has a broad base appeal. For the most part, I really believe that if I met Obama, I would like him personally. I wouldn't be so star struck as to lose my convictions and just follow the piper. Obama does have a very unique story and his experiences would be great, as a role model, to many of the youth today. The only issue is that other than I practically disagree with him on everything. The danger that lies beneath the surface for the Republicans is how much of what Obama is saying is being absorbed by his faithful following and those 'undecided'. Having blind faith in man is not the way a person of intellect should react. Use your mind to search for the beliefs that you support and can espouse without hesitation, know what you believe and believe what you know. I just hope that Obama doesn't bring the 'special' kool-aid for his legions of fans to end it all and maybe hook up with the heavens gate crowd on some spaceship.

Palin Knows Facts, Detractors Are Still Lost to What The Facts Are

2008-10-02T23:34:00.003-04:00

Just as I called it earlier, the liberal media icons and current political Obama supporters cannot admit that Governor Palin has what it takes to be taken serious. Moments ago, Rep. Wasserman-Schultz D-FL, was on Fox News and couldn't stop praising the actions of Joe Biden. Why is it when a liberal is asked about taxes the only comment they drive home is the rich get the benefit of tax cuts. I find it so interesting that Governor Palin is ridiculed for her lack of experience and political knowledge by the powers that be, and a current seated Representative in Congress is not educated in the tax percentages that pay the bills. The top 20 percent wages earners pay over 80 percent of the bill. Where is the outrage that the progressives seem to have cart blance on? Why is it that liberals fail to mention those facts and rely upon the evil rich republican machine scare tactic? Lack of experience and knowledge and leadership. Hence, look at the current leadership under the democrat controlled house and senate. They manipulate the facts to garner the support needed to keep them in power no matter the true nature of the issue.

Pretty Palin vs Smokin Joe

2008-10-02T19:52:00.000-04:00

Tonight we have the chance to see Sarah Palin go to to toe with Joe Biden. My only issue with this evenings activities with be the moderator. Gwen Ifill the senior correspondent with the PBS News Hour is currently in the process of writing a book about Obama and the age of politics. The book is allegedly a favorable take on Obama and his sudden rise to political prominence. Ms. Ifill has in the past been a very 'in the middle' road journalist however recently she has demonstrated favorable support for Obama. The media has already declared Joe Biden, the rough and tough boxer turned lawyer/senator from the northeast, as the evening's presumptive winner. It is no surprise that papers like the NY Times have declared victory. The only comment about the Alaskan Governor is that she lacks experience. There is much more to Sarah Palin than a pretty face, let's face it she's hot. Now all those detractors will come out of their shells and say that was completely sexist. Remember how we had to endure the comments by female voters on how attractive Edwards and Clinton were? To top it off you had the picture of Al Gore on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine with the emphasis on his crotch during the 2000 campaign. I guess that is OK, but for there to be an extremely good looking female VP candidate and comments regarding such is a complete travesty, if you are a liberal. The billing for the VP debate should be Pretty Palin versus Smokin Joe and it should be held at Caesar's Palace.

Has It Really Been 20 Years?

2008-09-24T23:17:00.000-04:00

(Orginally Posted in August)

It has been 20 years since I had the privilege to exit the high school graduation stage and enter upon another journey that would take me to some very unique and interesting places. I have had the fortune to live overseas in some great places, Bahrain, The U.K., Greece, Italy and I enjoyed them all to varying degrees of interest. I have seen the Pyramids at Giza, Safaried through the Suez Canal, walked through the gates of the Parthenon, stood in awe at the Temple of Knossos, respected the Roman Colosseum, spit on the Eiffel Tower (I don't care much for the French) and reverently walked the path to Golgotha. Not too bad to see that all before the age of 25. I can't much complain about my life other than it seems to be going by way too fast. I figured that life after high school there would be college, but my grades didn't afford me scholarships. So other than work in jobs that I just wasn't suited for, I joined the Navy and saw the world. I lived and saw a lifetimes worth of, well living I suppose, during my 6 years of active duty service. Now I look back in somewhat of a nostalgic fascination and wonder about the rest of my graduating class from 20 years ago. Recently I took the leap into the digital realm to search for some of those people in hopes to see what they have been into since our glory days. I actually have only spoken to 1 from back in the day and he was able to fill me in about alot. Many are still living in the same local area, an then there are a few, like myself, who have moved away from the place I called home. Hopefully I will be able to reconnect with some more and find out all about their life the last 20 years. Thinking back, I was voted most 'Versatile' and I always thought that was such a lame title, but looking back and recalling the events that have shaped my life, it really isn't such a bad title after all. It is much better than having the most likely to succeed title and not being able to live up to that expectation.

Rachel Sucks As Much As Keith

2008-09-20T00:01:00.001-04:00

Move over Keith Olbermann, here's Rachel Maddow, otherwise known as the female version of Keith. Actually she could also be called the younger Keith seeing that she comes across as manly as Keith does. I have given Olbermann his fair share of criticism but now I have found that I dislike Rachel Madcow just as much. Both of these commentators can't seem to talk with the other side. Each have adopted the program profile of having only guests who agree with their agenda as to not have to have true intellectual discussion and debate. It must be easier to trade jabs about the conservatives and sound very knowledgeable when you don't have to worry about a counter attack in the next breath.

9/11

2008-09-11T22:50:00.000-04:00

In remembrance to those lost on 9/11 and the War On Terror. May God Bless America.

Not Always Right, But Good

2008-09-03T22:01:00.000-04:00

The recent news of Governor Palin's daughter pregnancy, the liberl media have been in overdrive. The allegations that Sarah Palins 5 month old is actually her grandson is absurd. Now we have the liberal bloggers and ther subsequent supporters are calling for paternity tests on the 5 month old child. Those requests go beyond decency and jump right into down right dirty and nasty. Those people who subject themselves into the public service are expected to undergo the public scrunity to some degree. I am not advocating the microscope test be conducted on every decision ever made, as we all know that circumstances dictate the response. The public are not unreasonable, much like the parental guidelines that many of us employ on a daily basis. We don't expect the right choice to always be made, we expect good choices to be made.

Obama's Shovel

2008-08-14T23:43:00.000-04:00

So Barack Hussein Obama is now attacking anyone who dares question his background. Well, well well Mr. Obama welcome to the world of politics. Dr. Jerome Corsi has written a book that is fairly condemning to Obama, citing his ties to Bill Ayers, Tony Rezco and Louis Farrakhan. I would be simply offended to be named in the same sentence as those thugs, but Obama has politely said he is not associating with them anymore. Really now. Little advice for you Mr. Obama. You should have never aligned yourself with these jackasses in the first place. These people have done nothing but polarize the far left and supported anti-American beliefs since they first came to the national stage. Mr. Obama should have spent less time reading about and participating with those left wing fringe lunatics and concentrating on bringing Americans together on ideas and concerns that both sides can agree upon and discuss how they can work together dispite the differences. Obama paints the conservatives and Republicans as the evil doers of all under the sun. Republicans don't bomb the Pentagon or NYPD buildings, yet those associations of people who have committed those acts have been mentioned by Obama as being on friendly terms. Sorry Hussein, its too late to attempt to put the distance between the radical lunatic fringe of the left wing and portray yourself as a person who will bring together the vast divide between the conservatives and liberals for the common good. Change, I doubt it. More like Obama needs to smell what he is shoveling.

Olympics and Tivo

2008-08-10T00:54:00.000-04:00

The Olympics have started and so far I have seen some swimming, couple of the men's gymnastics events, beach volleyball and some highlights of the fencing competition. I was watching the Chinese team on the rings, I got tired just watching those guys. The cross on the rings is still the most fascinating human feat I could every imagine. I still look forward to several other events, but I have to say that since the games are in China, it makes watching them live a very tough decision. The 12 hour time difference is the killer. While I want to root for Team USA, I am having some trouble in keeping my eyes open long enough to really watch without nodding off every little bit. I really need Tivo or a good DVR system.

Keith Olbermann....Dumb Ass Part 2

2008-08-06T22:20:00.000-04:00

Last night after Keith Olbermann did his routine bashing of The President, Fox News and Bill O'Reilly I had to go to his web site on MSNBC and leave my comment in the section provided. This evening I decided to look at the postings to see if I made it. Guess what? My comments didn't make it. You see Keith Blowsman does not respond to criticism well. My comment that I posted was something like this:

Keith, why don't you ever debate someone with an opposite view of yours? Seems you are afraid to discuss topics in open and honest debate and that you can't really think for yourself, you have to rely on your show writers to do that for you.

That just goes to show the old adage, You can dish it out, but you can't take it. What alot of people don't quite know is just how irreverent Blowsman can be. While the US prides itself on freedom of speech, Blowsman takes it to an entirely lower level. I have never had any respect for a democrat at all, not one, but I do have respect for the offices they hold. Blowsman, will routinely tell the President to 'Shut UP'. Now, Bill Clinton was at best a womanizer, Jimmy Carter, well I have to say dumb as a box of rocks. I would never, while they sit in office tell them to 'Shut Up on national TV and berate them. I would criticize with respect, but also know that they have a position that commands respect and honor, no matter how useless their DNA may be. Just goes to show that Blowsman is far too arrogant and far to ignorant to understand the rules of decency.

Tell Carter To Quit Building Homes. It's Bad For the Environment.

2008-08-04T13:32:00.000-04:00

The Letters To The Editor section in my local paper has got me boiling once again. Every month without missing a beat Mr. Whitley Sr. from Louisville, Kentucky spouts off his, by all accounts his left wing propaganda. His statements are not based on factual information, and I emphasize factual. The latest is the energy policy and how wise former nut farmer turned president, Jimmy Carter was so intelligent on his energy policies and leadership of the country. I remember Carter as president, but apparently Mr. Whitely must have been in a coma. The country was going through a fuel shortage during his administration, fuel shortage!! That makes his policies good? There has not been any good leadership on energy policy in this country in years and yes I am talking about Republicans as well. The only endearing quality that Republicans have is they wanted to expand our drilling. Democrats have refused to even entertain the thought. They continue to say the environment will suffer. Oil companies have done documented research (Google the research, it is there) on environmentally friendly and eco-responsible oil drilling methods. The US has not built a new refinery in over 20 years and look at the numbers of our current population growth in the same time frame and guess what? The US has continued to grow and the numbers prove it however, he have not had any significant increase in our energy production levels at all. Why can't the libs figure it out? It isn't rocket science. So should we stop improving our infrastructure? Stop building homes? NO! Society increases yet we are failing to increase any of the support areas that we need for basic survival. We need fuel to heat our homes, drive our vehicles to go to our places of employment so we can earn money to sustain our families. If we treated our growth response similar to the way we have treated our energy growth, Jimmy Carter would not be allowed to build all those houses for habitat for humanity. By the way Jim, are those built eco-responsible?

Anthrax And Karl Rove's Weather Machine

2008-08-03T20:57:00.000-04:00

The alleged anthrax suspect, Bruce Ivins, linked to the anthrax letters to a leader(s)in the Senate, committed suicide. Or if you have watched Blowsman, presumed suicide. To listen to Blowsman, the death of Ivins is somehow another secretive plot linked to the Iraq war by President Bush. Going back to the Ivins issue. The guy took his own life for whatever reason. Really the only person I remember him attempting to expose to anthrax was Tom Daschle. Now would that have been any loss? Just kidding folks. I would not wish that on anyone, including liberals who I place on my list next to criminals, as the most vile species on the planet. Seriously though, the fact that the lead suspect is now deceased by whatever means, should not be used as a political point for either side of the aisle. The democrat talk box of (P)MSNBC is already making the assumption that the 'presumed suicide' and the Bush administration are linked. To listen to the left wing nut jobs every evil that has ever existed in history can be directly linked to oil companies, Halliburton, The Christan Coalition, Fox News and the Bush administration. Global warming is the direct result of Karl Rove, as we all know he has his crazy weather machine in the basement of the White House, personally reeking havoc on the global weather stage.

Olbermann SUCKS

2008-08-03T20:44:00.000-04:00

Keith Olbermann SUCKS!! Now that I have vented once again I feel much better. I really would like to see Blowsman fired, retire or just disappear.

Lettuce Heads and John Edwards Girlfriend

2008-08-01T21:14:00.001-04:00

With the recent events surrounding John 'The Hair' Edwards and his love child, I don't see the VP offer being made by B. Hussein Obama. There is no way that Obama will let Edwards on the same ticket as it might threaten his alpha male role. All this media hype around Edwards and his alleged affair is most strange. Strange because it is nonexistent other then the National Enquirer. I don't really care about what side of the aisle your on, the media will focus on the questionable behavior. Well that is only if your a Republican. Democrats who whip it out and use it without discretion, they get a free pass. Even now as you look at Edwards. How many media outlets are reporting on it. Just do a Nexus Lexus search and you will see that the number of reports about it are still in the single digit numbers. Put an 'R' next to Edwards and you could not count the number of papers, websites and news programs to dive into the story and give it clever names in the headlines. Listen up John, in your role as a relatively powerful man, you have lots of direct control over several different areas of society. The true test is if you can keep it in your pants, and well, let's face it, if the pictures on Drudge are of the woman in question, you should be slapped. I've seen better heads on lettuce.

Keith Olberman - Ed Murrow Wannabe

2008-07-22T22:47:00.000-04:00

Have you ever suffered through a Countdown program with Keith Blowsman? Most politica programs, if they are worth anything, will offer a couple of points of view. Not Blowsman. He would rather sit behind the desk and castise anyone and anything conservative without having the balls to discuss the issue with the 'other' side present. Seems like the actions of a coward, or perhaps no talent or skill in civil debate. His special comments are ntohing more than opinions of a blatering idiot who has no clue what it is to have pride in his country or sacrificed for his country. Keith, in short, do somehting orginal. Don't let your writers do your talking. How about real debate about real issues, instead of your petty arguing with Bill O'Reilly. And by the way, get an orginal sign off. Your no Edward R. Murrow you jackass.

Obama VP - John 'The Hair' Edwards?

2008-07-22T22:07:00.000-04:00

By all accounts in the media, John 'The Hair' Edwards is a name that continues to come up as a VP choice for B. Hussein Obama. Yes, there is the majic ticket of Obama/Clinton, but to the credit of Hussein Obama, he, more than most know that Clinton would more of a liability than an asset to the campaign. While I can't say the Edwards is much more qualified, he does come with less White House baggage, which Obama has most certainly taken in consideration. Edwards has experience working in the Presidential hopeful campaign trail once before with John F'in Kerry, his qualifications for the second most powerful man on the planet is still laughable. Mr. Edwards is a former trial lawyer who successfully put several doctors out of business in North Carolina under the guise that he was working for the better of the medical community. If that was the case, working for the better of the community, why would 'The Hair' take such large fees and settlements? Could he be Robin Hood? Nope. Needed more cash to complete his over sized mansion. I am all for capitalism, but 'The Hair' has always wanted to ruin the very idea of a free market, go against corporate America and tax them out of business. Give the profits back to the lazy. I don't really recall 'The Hair' ever donating large sums of his windfall legal profits back to he sick, lame and lazy. Maybe he was too concerned about his carbon footprint, wait, no that is the other democrat hypocrite.
