Yep, keep spending, Congress!

Nicki — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 22:47:00 GMT

Keep running up those deficits and putting us deeper into debt! Keep making it more difficult for the dollar to actually gain its value back and for the economy to recover.

We're too big to fail.

/sarcasm

China, whose $2.45 trillion in foreign-exchange reserves are the world’s largest, is turning bullish on Europe and Japan at the expense of the U.S.

The nation has been buying “quite a lot” of European bonds, said Yu Yongding, a former adviser to the People’s Bank of China who was part of a foreign-policy advisory committee that visited France, Spain and Germany from June 20 to July 2. Japan’s Ministry of Finance said Aug. 9 that China bought 1.73 trillion yen ($20.1 billion) more Japanese debt than it sold in the first half of 2010, the fastest pace of purchases in at least five years.

So if China starts dumping US Treasuries, how difficult will it be for the dollar to recover?

SQUEE!!!!

And it looks like a happy hedgehog, even though it's not mine, and even though I want to steal that hedgehog and cuddle it. Prickles, my hedgie, would be happy too if I got him a huge cake. As it is, he tends to abscond with Oreos!

Yeah, I'm back. Shut it.

Nicki — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 23:35:00 GMT

I realize my blogging is not as prolific as it has been in the past. There are several reasons for this - most of them lame - but I'm listing them here anyway.

I have a life
I have a job
I'm working on a new project at said job that has me waking up at all sorts of odd hours, getting to work when most people aren't even considering waking up, and popping Ambien (it's prescribed and legal - shut it!) just to fall asleep early enough to be functional when I wake up.
I have kids
I have dog

Shall I go on?

I realize the maximum effective range of an excuse is... well... zero, but it's my blog. Deal with it.

Do I sound cranky? Well, I am.

Why?

Reason #1: Julian Assange is one of the biggest, most rancid assbags on the planet.

WikiLeaks spokesman Julian Assange said Thursday his organization is preparing to release the rest of the secret Afghan war documents it has on file. The Pentagon warned that would be more damaging to security and risk more lives than the organization's initial release of some 76,000 war documents.

That extraordinary disclosure, which laid bare classified military documents covering the war in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2010, has angered U.S. officials, energized critics of the NATO-led campaign, and drawn the attention of the Taliban, which has promised to use the material to track down people it considers traitors.

The Pentagon says it believes it has identified the additional 15,000 classified documents, and said Thursday that their exposure would be even more damaging to the military than what has already been published.

Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell described the prospective publication as the "height of irresponsibility."

I'm all for freedom of the press. I understand and respect the importance of the First Amendment, and I fully support it. I do, however, believe that with freedom comes great responsibility, and just because you have access to certain information, doesn't mean you should publish it just because you can.

Assange has no idea how documents can be exploited and what kind of information can be gleaned from them by the enemy! He looks at these records, and he probably thinks, "So what! There's nothing here that's earth-shattering! I just want to show the world that governments need transparency and accountability!" Yeah, great. If the enemy can glean critical information about operating procedures just by rifling through trash, what the blazing fuck do you think they can do with nearly 100 thousand reports?

Again, just because you have the information, doesn't mean you should use it. I'm sure Assange is loving the attention right now, but in the end, all he's doing is hurting people with his complete lack of responsibility. And frankly, if one Soldier or civilian dies because of what this pestilent fuckbubble has exposed, here's hoping he burns in a special kind of hell for it.

Reason #2: Obama defends the right to build a mosque at Ground Zero.

This is again one of those things... Just because you have the right to do something, doesn't mean it's a decent idea.

Standing up for the right to put a mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, President Obama on Saturday warned that the country risks losing its distinct identity if it ignores basic American values such as religious freedom.

Obama spoke about the proposed mosque for the second time in two days, breaking a long silence on the controversy.

He told reporters after an event in Florida that his purpose in speaking out was to "simply let people know what I thought."

Let's be honest here. The murdering sub-human scum that flew planes into those buildings were FUNDAMENTALIST MUSLIMS. Yes, they were Muslims. Yes, they practiced the kind of Islam that likes to chop heads off its victims, dress women in gunny sacks, because God and Goddess forbid they tempt some hairy, goat-smelling motherfucker into raping them, and wants to subjugate non-believers. It is a bad kind of Islam, but it's Islam nonetheless, perverted though it may be.

And putting a mosque near that site is insulting, insensitive and downright indecent.

Yes, I know I'm the last one who should be talking about sensitivity issues, seeing as my idea of sensitivity involves actually refraining from punching someone who annoys me in the face, but really... this is a little much even for me. It's about as decent as us building a gargantuan monument to Fat Man and Little Boy in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Is it legal? I'm sure it is, although I'm no attorney, and I wouldn't know. Do they have a right to do it? Sure, I guess so. Not sure how the zoning laws work in NYC, but probably. Is it a matter of exercising freedom of religion? No. Fucking. Way. No one is preventing Muslims from exercising their faith in New York City, and prohibiting this mosque from being built wouldn't be a First Amendment violation. Preventing the erection of a structure does not in any way establish a national religion or prohibit the free exercise thereof. It's a zoning issue, nothing more. But hey - they have the right to build it, and that has apparently been confirmed. OK, fine. Let's go with that premise.

But is it decent to do so, right near a site where those who practice a version of your faith murdered thousands in cold blood? Is it right? I don't think so. This is not a matter of the free exercise of faith, it's just a matter of decency. The same people who go apeshit over some cartoons of Mohammed have absolutely no sense of sensitivity when it comes to shoving their faith into the faces of those to whom some practitioners of that faith did irrevocable harm. These same people who screech at the top of their lungs that the First Amendment shouldn't protect insults to their prophet have absolutely no problem using that same amendment to protect their lack of respect and sensitivity to those who were killed on my son's fourth birthday.

Hypocritical assholes.

Reason #3: Some conservative bloggers are just downright embarrassing. When asked for a list of the worst figures in American history, most of them came up with this?

The list, compiled from the responses of 43 right-of-center bloggers by John Hawkins:

        * 23) Saul Alinsky
        * 23) Bill Clinton
        * 23) Hillary Clinton
        * 19) Michael Moore
        * 19) George Soros (8)
        * 19) Alger Hiss (8)
        * 19) Al Sharpton (8)
        * 13) Al Gore (9)
        * 13) Noam Chomsky (9)
        * 13) Richard Nixon (9)
        * 13) Jane Fonda (9)
        * 13) Harry Reid (9)
        * 13) Nancy Pelosi (9)
        * 11) John Wilkes Booth (10)
        * 11) Margaret Sanger (10)
        * 9) Aldrich Ames (11)
        * 9) Timothy McVeigh (11)
        * 7) Ted Kennedy (14)
        * 7) Lyndon Johnson (14)
        * 5) Benedict Arnold (17)
        * 5) Woodrow Wilson (17)
        * 4) The Rosenbergs (19)
        * 3) Franklin Delano Roosevelt (21)
        * 2) Barack Obama (23)
        * 1) Jimmy Carter (25)

Really? No Robert Hanssen, who sold sensitive information to the Russians? No Ted Bundy? No Jeffrey Dahmer? I would think that killing people and eating their body parts would at least earn you the consternation of the vast majority of Americans - more so than Barack Obama or even Skeletor Pelosi, ferpetessake!

Some perspective would be nice, people! As Jim Geraghty rightly points out:

I’m no fan of most of the Democrats on the list, and there are some good picks. But most of the modern political figures look ridiculous when we compare their actions to some of America’s most really notorious figures.

[...]

No Charles Manson? Come on. You’re really telling me Al Sharpton and Michael Moore outrank somebody like Jeffrey Dahmer, who ate people? Race-baiting and rabble-rousing outrank cannibalism?

Let's gain some perspective here, people. Really. Nancy Pelosi may be a daft, power hungry, clueless twit, but does she really deserve to be on the list of the worst figures in American history? When we knee-jerk into reactions such as the inclusion of the obese, unwashed, untalented and less than influential Michael Moore on the list of the worst figures in American history, is it any wonder that we get tainted with the broad brush of idiocy?

Ugh.

Reason #4: This crazy bitch needs to go away. Far away.

No, I'm not calling Justice Alito a crazy bitch. I'm calling Orly Taitz a crazy bitch. Although, I'm really questioning Alito's sanity on this one.

A request to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito by “birther” attorney Orly Taitz asking that $20,000 in sanctions against her be reversed was referred on Tuesday to the entire court.

U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land imposed the sanctions last year after he warned her and then gave her a time limit to explain why he shouldn’t fine her in the September 2009 case of Capt. Connie Rhodes, who questioned the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s presidency.

Taitz appealed the sanctions to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. That court upheld the sanctions in March, and Taitz sent an application for stay to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on July 8. Thomas denied it a week later.

Taitz then refiled it with Alito on Aug. 4. That request was referred on Tuesday to the entire nine-member court, the Supreme Court’s website states.

The beauty of this nation is that even the crazies get their day in court. But why, oh why is this nutbag is being allowed to waste the time and resources of the U.S. judicial system?

There are other things that are pissing me off: the economy (no, you can't blame it on Bush any longer!), Rangel, Waters, the Congressional "swamp," the list goes on... No, I don't have PMS. I'm just kind of appalled at what's going on around us. And tired.

Averaging 3 hours of sleep is no way to spend your life. Trust me.

Just another reason

To abhor this talentless, classless, ignorant, attention-seeking, coke-snorting whore.

"I think it's important that people understand that it's a state of emergency for this place and this state," she said.

But Lady Gaga stopped short of dumping her Arizona tour dates like big name acts Kanye West and Rage Against the Machine who boycotted the state in protest of SB 1070.

Several notes here:

The spurious claim that this twat gazer actually thinks.

Would the "state of emergency" to which she refers be the slew of kidnappings, murders and other crimes committed by illegal aliens who cross the border into Arizona and wreak havoc in that state? And others...

Illegal aliens such as this piece of oozing ass drippings, who killed a nun while enjoying the federal catch and release program and driving drunk.

The man, Carlos Montano, a county resident, had been arrested by police twice before on drunk-driving charges, and on at least one of those occasions county police reported him to federal authorities.

"We have determined that he is in the country illegally. He has been arrested by Prince William County Police in the past," said Officer Jonathan Perok, a police spokesman, who said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was notified at the time of one of those arrests.

But hey - what's a dead nun in comparison to some kid Lady Gaga knows who had his brother deported? Really! Also note the refusal to put her money where her mouth is and cancel tour dates in Arizona. Because as much as she hates the state enforcing actual laws she certainly isn't willing to give up the cash for her principles!

Note to Lady Gaga: Put on some goddamn pants, and shut your yap until you've actually read the bill, you daft bint.

WTF is a "Snooki"

Nicki — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:02:00 GMT

...and why is it in the news? And why does it matter for what politician it votes? And why is it so revoltingly orange, that orangutans in a zoo are hurling their excrement in a jealous rage?

First, Snooki took on Obama over Twitter. Then, Obama said he didn't even know who she was. And on Thursday night's second season premiere of MTV's "Jersey Shore," Snooki took the ball back, and went after Obama again.

In one scene, Snooki — with her impressively orange tan — broke the shocking news that she's been staying away from her home away from home: Tanning salons.

"I don’t go tanning anymore because Obama put a 10% tax on tanning. McCain would never put a 10% tax on tanning. Because he’s pale and would probably want to be tan," she said.

Congratulations, America. This is what votes for politicians in this country, and that's why you're left with the shoddy choices at election time.

And you wonder why this country is so monumentally fucked? Because this insipid twat's vote counts as much as yours!

Screwing the troops... one family at a time

Nicki — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:34:00 GMT

I'm very much pro-capitalism. I believe every company has the right and responsibility to maximize its profits. This, however, equates to theft in my book. Soldiers pay insurance premiums that are withdrawn from every paycheck. They have a right to expect that their regular monthly premiums will result in payment for their families should they die in combat.

So when the cocksuckers at Prudential and other insurance companies mess around with the families of Soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifices for this nation, it's triply repugnant!

The package arrived at Cindy Lohman’s home in Great Mills, Maryland, just two weeks after she learned that her son, Ryan, a 24-year-old Army sergeant, had been killed by a bomb in Afghanistan. It was a thick, 9-inch-by- 12-inch envelope from Prudential Financial Inc., which handles life insurance for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Inside was a letter from Prudential about Ryan’s $400,000 policy. And there was something else, which looked like a checkbook. The letter told Lohman that the full amount of her payout would be placed in a convenient interest-bearing account, allowing her time to decide how to use the benefit.

“You can hold the money in the account for safekeeping for as long as you like,” the letter said. In tiny print, in a disclaimer that Lohman says she didn’t notice, Prudential disclosed that what it called its Alliance Account was not guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., Bloomberg Markets magazine reports in its September issue.

Lohman, 52, left the money untouched for six months after her son’s August 2008 death.

“It’s like you’re paying me off because my child was killed,” she says. “It was a consolation prize that I didn’t want.”

As time went on, she says, she tried to use one of the “checks” to buy a bed, and the salesman rejected it. That happened again this year, she says, when she went to a Target store to purchase a camera on Armed Forces Day, May 15.

I'd be voicing my displeasure with my wallet right now if I was in any way a customer of Prudential. Just saying....

WTF is wrong with this country?

Nicki — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 14:06:04 GMT

I've been searching teh Intertubez for something to write about today, and as I peruse, I'm beginning to realize there's something fundamentally wrong with our society. We're the freest nation in the world. We offer the most opportunities, we protect personal liberties, we are a generous, courageous, honorable nation overall.

Despite all this, however, I have to ask myself what the flying hell is going on here?

Why does this shitbag still have a job - a job that pays him money out of the pockets of the very people he abuses on a regular basis?

Tammy Fox is Agent Chu's latest victim. She was in the dirt near Elmhurst Hospital, trying to fix her flat tire, when Agent Chu sauntered up. Instead of offering help, like most New Yorkers would, he slapped her with a ticket.

"I said to him, 'are you kidding me? You're very insensitive. I'm going to visit my friend in the hospital who had cancer, and I'm trying to fix my flat tire, and you're standing here writing me a ticket?'" Fox said.

Tammy hit the nail on the head when she used the word insensitive. The very day she got the ticket, CBS 2 told you that NYPD brass docked Chu's pay and ordered him into sensitivity training for a raft of run-ins with the public and Queens Councilman Daniel Halloran.

"Apparently, the sensitivity training didn't work," Councilman Halloran said.

Halloran caught Agent Chu breaking enough traffic laws to lose his license – speeding, going through stop signs, using flashing lights, talking on a cell phone – just to get a cup of coffee. Halloran then received hundreds of complaints from constituents about Agent Chu, who even reportedly slapped tickets on members of a funeral procession.

Why did Southwest Airlines boot a normal-sized passenger who paid for her seat from an aircraft, so that a sow whose girth overflowed into the next seat, but who only paid for one seat, could take up two seats and overflow in peace?

The local woman was flying standby, paid full fare for the last available seat, got on board, stowed her bags and sat down – only to be told she would have to deplane immediately.

The reason?

A late-arriving passenger required two seats because of her girth.

The Sacramento woman, a frequent-flying sales rep, was stunned.

"It didn't seem right that I should have to leave to accommodate someone who had only paid for one seat," she tells us. (She has asked to remain anonymous for fear some may regard her as insensitive.)

She's even more miffed because she says Southwest personnel berated her when she questioned the decision to boot her from the plane.

Worse yet, there's something seriously wrong with a society where a woman can't even voice her opposition to this type of injustice without fearing being called "insensitive" to some fat fuck.

Oh, NOW it "requires attention"

Nicki — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 22:10:00 GMT

After ramming trillion dollar health care "reform" down our throats...

After the nearly $900 "stimulus" that did nothing to stimulate anything other than my ire...

After borrowing trillions to pay for yet more government spending...

After demolishing our economy to such an extent, that the Chinese are considering dumping us...

NOW, the White House is all of a sudden concerned about our fiscal situation?

The Office of Management and Budget report has ominous news for President Barack Obama should he seek re-election in 2012 — a still-high unemployment rate of 8.1 percent. That would be well above normal, which is closer to a rate of 5.5 percent to 6 percent. Private economists don't think the unemployment rate will drop to those levels until well into this decade.

The gaping deficits are of increasing concern to voters. But Obama and Democrats controlling Congress are mostly taking a pass on deficit reduction this year as they await possible recommendations from Obama's deficit commission.

While there's a slight improvement in the deficit for the current year, next year's predicted $1.42 trillion worth of red ink — that's 37 cents of borrowing for every dollar spent — is looking worse. It's about $150 billion more than previously predicted, because of still-slumping tax revenues.

White House budget director Peter Orszag said the numbers represent a "fiscal situation that requires attention."

Gee, ya think?

News: the military rocks!

Nicki — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 23:43:00 GMT

Not news: Congress sucks more than ever.

Gallup's 2010 Confidence in Institutions poll finds Congress ranking dead last out of the 16 institutions rated this year. Eleven percent of Americans say they have "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in Congress, down from 17% in 2009 and a percentage point lower than the previous low for Congress, recorded in 2008.

Really. Is anyone surprised by the 11 percent? Even the country's biggest nitwits are expressing disappointment in the "leadership" of ~~Skeletor~~ Pelosi!

This is the same daft bint who complained it was just fine to add $34 billion to the debt and the deficit by passing an extension of unemployment benefits. Why? Because Republicans did it too! They added to the deficit with their reckless spending... you know - cutting taxes for people who actually... um... PRODUCE! Yes, Republicans added to the deficit, but our national debt and our deficit levels are at staggering levels! Our deficit is nearly 11 percent of GDP this year, and the federal debt is at 94 percent of GDP - up from about 56 percent of GDP just 10 years ago.

This is a Congress that doesn't give a flying rat's shit about spending, complains about Republican stonewalling of their reckless spending (when, really - they had the votes and more to pass this bill all along), and thinks that somehow, giving people more "free" money will give them incentive to go to work.

Is it any wonder that their first stimulus did nothing to alleviate the jobless rate?

But living up to the definition of insanity is Congress' forte, so they just try the same thing over and over again, hoping for different results.

This bastard needs a beating (UPDATED) (UPDATED AGAIN: RIP, Scout)

Nicki — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 22:36:00 GMT

There is a special place in hell for those shitbags who abuse or neglect innocent animals who rely on them for their very lives! One such cocksack is Lawrence Hodgson of Washington, DC, who apparently went into a tennis dome on Hains Point to play tennis and just turned his dog loose outside alone in the 97 degree heat to "play."

Y'all remember how hot it has been in DC this weekend, right? This piece of festering shit left his animal buddy to just wander around. No water, plenty of traffic... end result: dog got scared, ran until he was exhausted, then toppled into the river and would have drowned but for a police detective jumping in to save him. (Thank you, U.S. Park Police!)

Then Hodgson tried to refuse to allow the dog to be medically treated even though an hour after the incident, the dog still could not stand on his own.

View more news videos at: http://www.nbcwashington.com/video.

The owner will probably not be charged with much, which makes me angry enough to find Hodgson and shove a live, writhing python up his ass.

Cruel, inhuman monsters such as Hodgson should ideally be beaten with a heavy object, but should at least be charged with being a sociopathic shitslurper.

UPDATE: According to this morning's Washington Post, the bastard Hodgson showed up at the veterinary hospital where his dog was being given care and took him home against the advice of the veterinary staff. Please, oh PLEASE let the Humane Society beat this fetid bag of rancid effluvia into a bloody pulp and find Scout a decent home - a home where he'll be well cared for and will receive medical care when necessary! And PLEASE let Hodgson be left to fend for himself, while bleeding and incapable of getting help, and then denied care at the hospital! If there is any justice in this world, what goes around will come around.

UPDATE THE SECOND (AND FINAL): RIP. Scout.

I consider Lawrence Hodgson a murdering piece of shit. He neglected his dog, let him run around in hellish heat without water, didn't give a crap when Scout got dehydrated and fell into the river, and then refused to allow this poor animal to get treatment.

Lawrence Hodgson - you're a murderer. You're a pathetic, disgusting excuse for a human being. I can only hope that whatever goes around, comes around. Wherever Scout is today, he's in a better place than with you.

NAACP racism, Shirley Sherrod, media bias and other things....

Nicki — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:00:00 GMT

I couple of days I showed this video clip of a government employee giving a speech at the NAACP, describing her "dilemma" about helping a white farmer.

After the offensive, disgusting, racist video made its way around the media, Shirley Sherrod, who apparently proudly admitted to the world that she used taxpayer dollars to advance her racist agenda "resigned."

Today, it turns out, the video seen here is incomplete. Only a portion of it is seen here, and the NAACP had the full version of the video, and only released it today, even though they had the video all this time, and CHEERED Sherrod's dismissal after the shorter video portraying her as a racist was revealed. Then they had the temerity to claim that they were "snookered" by Fox News, the Tea Party and whichever other white Bogey Man they could invent.

This is interesting. Apparently this woman wasn't as racist and foul as she appeared to be in the clip. And while I originally was quite pissed off with this video, and questioned why in the world she still has a government job, I'm now absolutely disgusted with Andrew Breitbart for releasing the clip without context.

But my anger goes deeper than that. On the original clip, NAACP members are heard cheering Sherrod as she tells her story - a story that appears to be one of her sticking it to Whitey as a government employee. Cheering, clapping, laughing at a portion of the speech where she describes her dilemma at helping a white farmer. Also, the NAACP had the full video, but quickly jumped on the bandwagon to condemn Sherrod in an effort NOT to appear racist. The way I see it, the NAACP's zeal to malign one of their own is an effort to quickly draw attention away from real racists within their ranks.

There are definite issues here. The media, racism, jumps to conclusions, more racism... Breitbart didn't do conservatives any favors by airing the clip out of context. The NAACP didn't do African Americans any favors by applauding and cheering racist parts of Sherrod's story or condemning the Tea Party movement for being racist without a shred of proof.

This story is a shit sandwich all around.

Liberal debating styles on the interwebz

Nicki — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 20:33:00 GMT

I recently ran across a blog explaining some of the "conservative" debating styles on the Internet. The writer has apparently been trolling conservative blogs in order to find consistent debating tactics. For someone who tries very hard to identify generalizations and criticize conservative pigeonholing of their liberal debate opponents, he sure does a bang-up job doing just what he is criticizing in conservatives: labeling them "the Tea Party/Red State GOP voter," as if they all fit into a nice, comfortable niche.

In the article, he criticizes conservatives as using consistently similar debating techniques. I've quoted some here.

Democrats are the racists!
Some may go to the trouble of digging up historical facts to prove this. Lincoln era Democrats were racist! Also, "Democrat" and "liberal" are interchangeable to these folks.

Parents’ basement!
Yes, all people who disagree with them on the Internet are nerds in their parents’ basement.

You misspelled something
Countering arguments requires knowledge and effort. Most people on the Internet learn early on to ignore poorly constructed arguments along with typos. Not these guys.

You lose!
That’s it. That’s the complete response.

Bong
For these people weed is evil, but not just any weed-smoking, bong-smoking. The best response, therefore, is to attribute the opposing argument to weed-smoking. It is assumed that all Liberals smoke weed.

You’re scared!
This is an addendum of the "you lose" one above. Whatever you say it means that you are scared.

Troll!
This means that they don’t have to take anything you say seriously.

Black guy quote
Accusations of racism are often met with a quote by Martin Luther King or Booker T. Washington.

Conspiracy!
The Liberal Democrat Complex has nothing else to do but frame Conservatives for racism among other things. Everything a dissenter says on these boards is an indication of some greater conspiracy to take down the Tea Party movement, or Sarah Palin, or the members of that particular blog, or white people, or America in general, "America" consisting entirely of Red States.

Username jab
Invariably there will be a comment on your username.

Well, I've been around the Intertubez for a while, and I've noticed some trends from the leftist side of the house. Those unable to construct an argument will invariably use one of the below techniques, mostly involving ad hominems and well-beaten strawmen.

Racist!
Yes, the liberals engage in the race card much more than the conservatives. Disagree with Teh Won™? You're a racist. Any disagreement to the policies of the current administration means you hate African Americans. You are a racist. Just remember that. Oppose welfare? You're a racist. Oppose opening our borders to all sorts of criminal trash? You must hate Hispanics. Support military action in Iraq and Afghanistan? You must want little brown people dead!

Tea Bagger!
If you happen to advocate lower government spending, are worried about skyrocketing debt and record deficits, you are a Tea Bagger! In case you were wondering, "tea bagging" is a sexual act that involves a man squatting over his partner and lowering his junk into her mouth. That's what those who disagree with the Tea Party protesters call these people who are concerned about the ever-growing power of the federal government. Nice, eh?

It's ALL Bush's fault!
It's been nearly two years since Bush left office, and yet he still gets the blame for everything from spiraling debt to the current BP oil spill to the split between Al Gore and Tipper.

Fundamentalist Christian
I'm not a Christian in any way, shape or form, but I do respect people's faith, regardless of my lack of agreement with it. But to liberals, all conservatives are Christians, and all Christians are very similar to fundamentalist Muslims, who want to oppress women, keep them barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen and stone them should they step out of line. So during the debate, expect the libtard to refer copiously to some form of "fundie" insult as reason for the conservative's views, because having faith makes one stupid.

Profanity of choice
When liberals can't counter an argument, they invariably devolve into obscenity-laced tirades. Now, I'm not opposed to good invective. I'm quite proficient at it, actually, and I enjoy making up new and different insults. I view it as an exercise in language skills. However, when liberals disagree with your points, they simply launch the F-Bomb and think this is a good substitute for actual... um... you know... debating points.

You're a liar!
When liberals disagree with your points, but can't find anything of substance to counter them, they simply accuse you of lying. What you say doesn't matter. I seriously doubt they actually read what you write. They simply accuse you of lying and move on. Game over.

Nazi!
Liberals love to Godwin themselves into a corner! Anything a conservative says will necessarily be compared to Hitler, Nazis or fascism. Liberals can't possibly find an insult that's more heinous than comparing their opponent to Hitler. Hitler committed genocide and all sorts of atrocities. Hitler was fascist and limited personal freedoms. And because you're a conservative who must believe in a strong national defense, you invariably must believe that personal freedoms must be limited as well. Any time you debate with a liberal, expect the reductio ad Hitlerum to be whipped out... well... liberally.

Conspiracy!
War in Iraq? Conspiracy by Halliburton! Katrina? Conspiracy by white, conservative establishment to rid New Orleans of African Americans. Clinton's impeachment? Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Oh, and 9-11? Government conspiracy to go to war against Saddam Hussein.

You quoted Drudge/Human Events/Malkin/Coulter!
Liberals fear the conservative boogie men! People like Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Matt Drudge, anything written in Human Events, Fox News, Hannity and Beck make liberals seize in apoplectic rage. It doesn't matter what these pundits say or why. The moment they open their mouths, liberals deposit froth-flecked spittle on anything that happens to be in front of them at the time. So vast and irrational is their hatred, that any link to these sites as evidence in a debate is automatically discounted with scorn. "Oh! You linked to a Faux Snooz article as proof? Puhleeze! That's not proof! You lose!"

You see, the Intertubez breeds a faux courage! Those who are normally too cowardly to start a debate face to face, certainly feel hair growing on their chest when they engage in an anonymous debate on Teh Webz. Politics is a passion for many. Emotions run high on both sides of the aisle. And while both sides would be much more effective if they worked on actual substance instead of constant insults...

...frankly it's much more fun this way!

Cue PETA howls of protest in 3...2...1...

Nicki — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 01:05:05 GMT

The Taliban are monkeys... I mean they're using monkeys... training monkeys to fight American Soldiers. The Afghanistani pig diddlers are resorting to desperate measures. They can't really counter our sophisticated weaponry and highly trained troops, so they're using the primitive version of a UAV... a chimp.

If this report is true, we will more likely than not see a sternly-worded letter to the Mullahs from PETA asking them to have some love and respect for the simians - the same letter they wrote to Arafat telling him if he MUST kill those Joos, to please use human homicide bombers instead of innocent donkeys. I'm sure the PETArds won't be threatening the Taliban. They don't threaten armed, violent religious crazies who can actually hurt them! Just effeminate ice skaters!

PETA - People Embarrassing the Tidewater Area.

Stoopid? They haz it.

Moral corruption (UPDATED)

Nicki — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 01:20:00 GMT

Those of you who know anything about me at all or have been reading this blog for any number of months understand what kind of visceral reactions I have to injustices - especially injustices that involve the abuse of children, the elderly or animals. So when I see stories of moral corruption such as this - fetid, fucktarded bureaucrats using the law to destroy the victim while giving moral sanction to criminal scum - I really have the urge to fly to Colorado and eviscerate the rancid cuntbubble that is the Jefferson County District Attorney with a rusty fork.

Admitted thieves are going free, while an elderly Wheat Ridge man is facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars, all, he says, for trying to defend his property and his life.

82-year-old Robert Wallace said in February that he looked out his window and saw two men hooking his flatbed trailer up to their pickup. He yelled at them to stop, but they sped away, stealing his trailer. He told police he fired two shots at the pickup.

Minutes later, police say 32-year-old Damacio Torres dropped 28-year-old Alvaro Cardona off at a hospital emergency room with a gunshot wound to the face.

[...]

The Jefferson County DA's office said that neither Torres nor Cardona have been charged with anything at this point, even though Torres confessed to the crime. However, the homeowner, Wallace is facing twelve felony counts, including four counts of attempted first degree murder. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Sources say Torres and Cardona are believed to be in the country illegally and both have an arrest record. Cardona's record includes public fighting and numerous traffic offenses like driving without a license or insurance. Torres's record includes agricultural trespassing as well as a 2005 arrest for aggravated motor vehicle theft for which he was given a plea bargain to a lesser crime. Sources say Torres is also under investigation for being part of a major auto theft ring.

What kind of civilized nation would allow an elderly man defending his property to rot in prison, while abhorrent wastes of sperm who entered this nation illegally, committed numerous crimes here, and have generally proven themselves to be oxygen thieves (read: potential Democrat voters) are allowed to walk free? What kind of terminally cluefucked turd do you have to be to even consider prosecuting this man, whose only transgression was defending his property against illegal alien (yes, they are illegal aliens - or undocumented Democrats) scum and not allowing himself to become prey?

A crime has been committed here. But it wasn't by Mr. Wallace, who was merely trying to protect what he has earned - what is rightfully his. The crime was committed - first and foremost - by the two illegal alien shitslurpers who attempted to victimize an elderly man, but also by Jefferson County District Attorney Scott Storey, who would prosecute a man for protecting his own property, instead of giving in to criminal scum.

If Storey insists on putting Wallace through the farce of a trial, he will have destroyed the very concept of justice and the spirit and intent of the law. He will have stood justice on its ear and betrayed the spirit of it. Instead of protecting the victim from criminal thugs, he will be turning the law against the prey and protecting the predators.

And at that point we will know that the concept of civilization, morality, justice and honor has been destroyed and replaced with the arbitrary, morally corrupt rule of brainless bureaucrats who couldn't hope to understand and honor the intent of the law.

Scott Storey will have become a domestic enemy - an enemy of justice.

Let's hope he either comes to his senses rather quickly, or is sodomized to death with a cricket bat dipped in hot tar and rusty nails before he has a chance to destroy Robert Wallace.

UPDATE: commenter Anthony informs us that this isn't the first time Storey has kicked an elderly victim in the junk. This guy needs an enema - preferably filled with battery acid and some ground glass.

Where would we be

Nicki — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 16:46:00 GMT

Without the mindless psychotic statist shitbags of San Francisco? I mean, whom would we have to ridicule about the infinite stupidity of making regulations on the baking of pot brownies? Where would we be without the brainless nitwits who elected Skeletor Pelosi? And how could this nation possibly remain the cesspool of moronic douchebaggery without petty tyrants who want to ban the sale of pets. That's right. Pets.

It's not enough that San Francisco has a nearly $500 million budget deficit. Their way of addressing said deficits is to punish businesses and make it more expensive and annoying to live in and visit the city, including schemes to raise the cost of medical technician certificates from $34 to $145, increase prices for underground parking in Golden Gate Park, set and raise police department permit fees, increase fire department fees for high-rise inspections and raise fees for emergency medical services.

Their latest brilliant plan to make it more unpalatable to live in their Nanny State utopia is to ban the sale of pets. All pets except fish. Because only daft schmucks elected by some of the same nimrods who put Pelosi in office should be able to dictate what types of pets can be sold, and frankly who needs those damn pet stores for revenue anyway?

Sell a guinea pig, go to jail.

That's the law under consideration by San Francisco's Commission of Animal Control and Welfare. If the commission approves the ordinance at its meeting tonight, San Francisco could soon have what is believed to be the country's first ban on the sale of all pets except fish.

That includes dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, birds, snakes, lizards and nearly every other critter, or, as the commission calls them, companion animals.

"People buy small animals all the time as an impulse buy, don't know what they're getting into, and the animals end up at the shelter and often are euthanized," said commission Chairwoman Sally Stephens. "That's what we'd like to stop."

Hey, I'd like to stop contemptible dictatorial shitsacks like Sally from inserting her totalitarian dictates into the lives of those whom she serves. But we can't all have what we want, can we?

Happy Independence Day!

This flag few at Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo when I was deployed there in 2007. It represents everything that is good and honorable about this nation. We are young, and we are idealistic, but we are fundamentally good and decent. And when others suffer, we are the first to rise up and offer help.

Remember the fundamental principles on which this nation was built. Honor them. If you do not, you will lose them. That's a promise.

Not for the faint of heart. If you come here and shake your head in consternation at my language, you might not want to click the "PLAY" button. If you feel the need to send me email to complain about said language, leave and leave now, you rancid sack of malodorous effluvia.

We let them control the economy?

Nicki — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 11:36:00 GMT

We already knew Nancy Pelosi is one of the dumbest bints in history. You have to search far and wide to find a politician that is more hated around the nation (or one that more closely resembles Skeletor). Her rampant dumbassery is tolerated and even venerated in her district, but as for the rest of us...

...we all have to wonder if she actually has to brain cells to rub together, and just how much dope her constituents are smoking to keep reelecting her year after year.

Take, for instance, Skeletor's claim that somehow government stimulus spending injects demand into the economy, creates motivation for people to leave unemployment and somehow creates jobs.

Errrr... what? Is she really trying to tell us that creating incentive for people to sit at home and NOT work by giving them money extorted from others will actually force people to go back to work? Does she actually think that getting magic money stolen from the taxpayers by government force will somehow make people go back to work?

Let me ask you something. How many of you would continue to work and produce if you won the lottery? If you got enough money to live from an unnamed source, would that really give you incentive to work and produce? I would venture a guess that most of you would not only quit your jobs, but tell your bosses where to shove them.

The only way a government can "create jobs" is by taking them away from the private sector. The government gets its money from those who pay taxes. It doesn't create wealth, and it doesn't produce. When a government takes more money from the taxpayers to "create" jobs, the taxpayers (including the companies that actually create jobs) have less money to do so!

The government has a legitimate function in society. That much is true. But it's a limited function, and when it grows so out of control, that it actually harms economic progress, it's time to yank the reins, and yank them hard!

This is a real economist. These are the kinds of people who should be making economic policy, not Pelosi, who couldn't locate her own ass with two hands and a flashlight and not the likes of Reid, who apparently thinks his claim that a hike in taxes on the oil companies somehow won't be passed on to the consumer.

I keep wondering why it is that people who don't understand anything about economics somehow wind up controlling the economy.

Thanks, libtards! Thanks a bunch!
