Angelina Jolie: “Obama is all smoke and mirrors”

Angelina Jolie: Getting ready to go Galt?

As Don Surber notes:

Celebrities have as much right as anyone to open their yaps about politics. The ones who agree with me are geniuses, the ones who dare disagree with me are idiots. It is that simple.

The luster is definitely starting to wear off of The Hope and Change Presidency — now one of the biggest Liberals in all of Lala-land is openly Criticizing The Won: Angelina Jolie.

Back in October of 2008, I wondered if Jolie might be a closet Conservative when she made the case for the US military staying in Iraq. And now she’s dishing on Obama?

According to US Magazine, Jolie hates President Obama:

“She’s into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise,” adds the source.

“Angie isn’t Republican, but she thinks Obama is all smoke and mirrors,” the source says.

And those political views are putting her at odds with Brad Pitt, 45, who is a big fan of the president and even went solo to the 2008 election party in Chicago.

“They get in nasty arguments all the time about it,” says the source. “She doesn’t respect Brad when it comes to politics, but, in the end, this won’t tear them apart.”

She’s a freak’n actress for goodness sake — and even she’s smart enough to see through the thin veneer of Obamania. Sounds like some of her father’s, Jon  Voight, good political sense rubbed off on her.

Of course, you know what this means…RACIST! (from a commenter named Joan at US Magazine):

I hate Angelina and her hateful, evil father who are both vile and worms. Angelina can expect, now, “former fans” to disrespect her even more with those evil comments about President Obama. Did she say those vile and evil things about the White Presidents? I fear for the Black baby that she selfishly adopted just for attention. She will certainly regret those hateful comments. Trust me.

I keep hearing rumors that Angelina Jolie is going to play Dagny Taggart in the film version of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. I can see that…

The Hoax of Man-Made Global Warming and the Subsequent Media Cover-up

P.J. Gladnick: “Many of the mainstream media stories about global warming are simply pretending it doesn’t exist.”

The “it” that Gladnick is referring to is the huge document dump from the hacked e-mail servers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU) in Norwich, England. Thousand of documents and emails that reveal that leading “global warming” advocates/scientists were pretty much faking and manipulating data to “prove” that global warming exists.

When, it appears, that the exact opposite is closer to the truth.

Those of us with more than just a lick of common sense have known all along that “man-made global warming” is the biggest hoax of all time. I’m just wondering how much of the faked science Al Gorical knew about, and when he knew it…

Media Cover-up

Of course if you haven’t heard of the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit leaked emails that reveal the rampant fraud behind the science, you can hardly be blamed, as our compliant media is ignoring it all together.

Like the worst news paper in Texas, the Houston Chronicle:

The Global Carbon Project study concludes that unless emissions are substantially reduced, the result would be a rise in average global temperature by nearly 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century. That is on par with previous worst-case scenarios outlined by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Scientists have estimated that temperature spikes above 2 degrees could have disastrous consequences, including large rises in sea level, droughts and stronger storms.

One of the authors of the study, Professor Corinne Le Quere of the University of East Anglia, says the conclusions raise the stakes for delegates to the Copenhagen gathering, who will try to hammer out a successor to the Kyoto Accords that committed signatory governments to emission reduction goals. The United States did not sign on to that agreement.

As Gladnick points out, where have we heard that name before…?

Something about hacked e-mails, manipulated data, and a coverup? This editorial won’t bring up the scandal that dare not speak its name but the readers are not shy about bringing it up over and over and over again..

Much more coverage of the media’s willful negligence in covering this angle of the story over at Memeorandum.

They must be out publishing retractions on their Kentucky census worker smear campaign against conservatives after it was revealed that Bill Sparkman wasn’t murdered by angry Tea Party protesters stirred up by the likes of Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck.

He committed suicide, just for the record, since you’re unlikely to get the follow up story from the willfully misleading media.

There’s really no subtle way to put this — but if you believe that man is responsible for any trends in “global warming”, and that if we don’t do something RIGHT NOW WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE — well, you’re an idiot.

MyBelle At First White House State Dinner

Perhaps the reason the first state dinner was held in a tent, and not the magnificent White House State Dining Room, was to promote a more casual atmosphere.
Everyone knows arugula is a casual dining staple…right?

More on MyBelle’s gown.

ThinkLeft Sides With Nidal Hasan Over “Barbaric” US Military

Nidal Hasan committed a pre-meditated act of terrorism on US soil against his fellow soldiers. He murdered 14 innocent people. It was a treasonous atrocity that is deserving of nothing less than swift and extreme justice. Preferably a firing squad held yesterday.

The penalty for what Hasan did can be nothing short of death.

One of the reasons I hate Liberals so much is because they are such pathetic, cowardly pussies who — given the choice — will side with our enemies over our Soldiers at every turn.

For instance — when ABC News reported yesterday that Hasan is paralyzed from the chest down and is in severe pain, my first thought was, “Good. I’m glad he’s in severe pain. The more the better. And I’m tickled he’s paralyzed; he’ll never be able to hurt anybody else ever again.”

A typical terrorist sympathizing, anti-military response comes from the unhinged moonbat Jeralyn at Think Left, trying on her best Jane Fonda traitor hat:

How barbaric that the military will seek to kill a man with no sensation in his body from the chest down. He might prefer it (I certainly would) but it’s inexusable behavior for a civilized society and way beyond the pale of decency.

This quote from John Stuart Mill sums up my disdain for the anti-war, anti-American, defeatists who comprise the most vocal fringe of the withering Left:

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Jeralyn…you are exactly the miserable creature that Mill was referring to.

Some Guy Named Tom Schieffer Drops out of Race for Governor

The Texas Tribune is reporting that Democrat Tom Schieffer is dropping out of the Texas Gubernatorial race.

As though this little known Democrat was ever really in the race for Governor. It’s like me saying I’m dropping out of the race for Ms. America.

For those of you who don’t keep up with who’s-who amongst US Ambassadors (quick, name the US Ambassador to Ghana…), Schieffer is the most recent United States Ambassador to Japan, and served as U.S. Ambassador to Australia from 2001 to 2005.

He’s more famous for being the younger brother of Bob Schieffer, a CBS News reporter and host of Face the Nation, than he is for being a politically-connected Ambassador (buddy of former President Bush…which probably doesn’t do him any favors running as a Dem, either).

Out With One Dem, In With Another

Schieffer’s decision to step aside probably has more to do with the announcement that Houston Mayor Bill White is switching from running for Senator to running for Governor (though he swore to God that he wasn’t switching as early as last week).

Schieffer probably thought he stood at least a coin-flip’s chance of winning the Democrat primary against the assorted lot of comedians, Palestinian hairdressers, and has-beens that have declared for the Democrat primary so far…and he’s probably right.

If I were a betting man (and I am), I’d put my money on Bill White to win the Democrat nod now.

But winning the November election against a very popular Rick Perry? Just isn’t going to happen. White has less of a chance of beating Rick in the November election than Kay Baily Hutchinson has of beating Rick in the March primary.

Just. Not. Going. To. Happen.

There’s  a Red Tide Sweeping Over this Already Red State

Nobody with a (D) after their name (or a RINO, in the case of KBH) has even a remote chance of unseating Gov. Perry in 2010.

The anti-Democrat tidal wave that is sweeping the nation, lead by the economy destroying policies of Pelosi, Reid, and Obama, will be magnified in Red states — where Obama is NOT on the ticket to draw otherwise indifferent voters to the polls.

The 2009 NJ gubernatorial election, where a Republican won in a very Blue state, will be the norm in 2010…not an exception. Look at the voters shift in VA, too.

It will be a clean sweep state-wide for Republicans in Texas in 2010. Rick Perry as Governor and Michael Williams as our next Senator.

Political Advice from Robert Heinlein

Glenn Reynolds posts this still-timely political advice from my favorite author, Robert Heinlein:

Your object… is to win elections, not arguments. If you will always remember that, you can’t go far wrong.

The second thing to remember is that elections are won with votes; those votes are out in the precincts, not down in the politico-financial district, not in political clubs, not at political rallies.

The third thing to remember is that a vote for your side never becomes a reality unless you see to it that the holder thereof gets down to the polls and casts it. This should be printed in red ink and set off with flashing lights.

The fourth thing to remember is not to waste time arguing with a hard case. In the years I have spent in politics I cannot honestly say that I recall ever having persuaded anyone to change his mind about how he was going to vote on an issue or for a candidate if he had already made up his mind when I approached him. Yet I know that I have influenced and sometimes changed the outcome of elections through my own efforts.

As Reynolds notes, “It’s good advice, and his book, Take Back Your Government, is still pretty good. The technology is obsolete — though not as much as you might think — but the basic approach is still good.”

Though my favorite Heinlein quote is still, “The noblest fate that a man can endure is to place his own mortal body between his loved home and the war’s desolation.”

Who Picks Michelle Obama’s Wardrobe, and Why Haven’t They Been Fired Yet?

Cynthia Yockey, the Newly Conservative Lesbian: “Who chooses Michelle Obama’s clothes and why do they hate her?”

Hah.

Except I’m pretty sure Michelle, ever the picture of class and always keeping in mind that she is the First Lady of the United States of America, picks out her own threads.

Like this:

Michelle Obama: She does know she's First Lady, right?

It took less than 10 months for Michelle and her hubby to reduce the once proud and dignified office of the Presidency into a joke.

Many more not-so-flattering pics of Michelle at Hot Air.

Has Obama’s Presidency Jumped the Shark?

The bloom is starting to die:

When SNL starts making fun of your naive lack of leadership, policy, and accomplishments — well, you’re star-struck Presidency might have just jumped the shark.

In Defense of Publicly Funded Abortions

Jaded Heaven, an exceptionally talented writers and my favorite new blogger (who also happens to live here in Austin) has an interesting take in defense of publicly funded abortions:

Let’s have an abortion thread. Anybody game?

I’m not surprised to see abortion coverage slipped into the health care bill under current consideration in Congress. It only makes sense to proponents of the public option to cover a woman’s decision to suck the life out of her womb at her neighbor’s expense. And why not? We’re expected to collectively house, feed, clothe, educate and possibly imprison her ill-conceived git at public expense if she’s irresponsible.

I had a discussion many years ago with a man I still respect and love, one who is solidly conservative, a republican stalwart, a fierce Rush acolyte, a true red meat, ideological right winger.

We were discussing abortion and he told me that he would rather pay, through his tax dollars, for a woman’s early abortion than raise her child for life. Declared it was less expensive in the end. It all came down to money and the eventual degradation of wider society being populated by a raft of dysfunctional, unwanted, poorly raised, low I.Q., uneducated individuals voting, corrupting and altering the fundamental basis of our republic. Figuring that he and the country would be better served overall by publicly funding abortion, he chose spending a cheap $300 to drain a lax womb over the tens of thousands it would take to support a wider pool of neglected welfare babies who would ultimately undermine his tax paying vote and alter the state of our nation with their warped, subsidized, ignorant mindsets.

Interesting. And I’m inclined to agree.

Election Fraud by the SEIU?

Voter fraud, intimidation, and general-thuggery from members of the SEIU?

Shocked, I tell you. Shocked:

From Big Government:

Fresno, CA. SEIU’s fraud wasn’t against political opponents or some evil capitalist. No, SEIU’s fraud was against a brother/sister labor union.

SEIU has been engaged in a fire-fight with the National Union of Health Workers. For SEIU, it isn’t enough that workers are unionized, but they must be unionized AND their dues flow into the purple political machine. The video features SEIU official David Regan, who ran the union’s voting campaign. Keep in mind, again, the “opponents” he mentions aren’t Republicans or businesses, but another labor union.

Well, SEIU is the brother/companion organization of Obama’s favorite criminal enterprise, ACORN.

Robert Lee Thompson: Set to Die Under the Law of Parties

Image courtesy of the Houston Chronicle

UPDATE: He’s dead.

___________________

Tonight is the third of three consecutive scheduled executions in Texas. So far we’re 1 for 2 — the first was postponed while the second went off without a hitch.

Robert Lee Thompson is scheduled to die tonight shortly after 6:00 p.m. Huntsville time.

The state Board of Parsons of Paroles voted 5-2 to recommend that Perry commute Thompson’s sentence to life, as he was convicted under the law of parties.

I made my case a few weeks ago as to why Thompson is exactly the type of case that the Law of Parties should apply to.

During a robbery, Thompson and his accomplice each shot a different man. Thompson shot his victim 4 times, and had the gun pointed directly against his temple when pulled the trigger a fifth time. Fortunately for his victim, Thompson was out of bullets. So Thompson pistol whipped him instead.

Unfortunately, the other convenience store clerk was murdered by Thompson’s accomplice. So, even though Thompson’s victim didn’t die…it wasn’t for lack of Thompson trying to kill him.

Thankfully, Gov. Rick Perry just moments ago refused to commute Thompson’s death sentence…which means that the evil POS wil be dead in a few minutes from now:

“After reviewing all of the facts in the case of … Thompson, who had a murderous history and participated in the killing of Mansoor Bhai Rahim Mohammed, I have decided to uphold the jury’s capital murder conviction and capital punishment for this heinous crime.

“There is no reason to set aside the capital murder conviction handed down by a Texas jury and upheld by numerous state and federal courts,” Perry said.

Austin: Do You Recognize This Lady?

Austin — Do you know who this lady is? If so, call the police and tell them who she is.

Who steals money from a man in a coma?

I don’t care if it’s your mom, your wife, or your sister — because she’s a low-life degenerate who needs to go to jail:

A man who spent two months in a coma at Seton Medical Center awoke to discover he was a crime victim, police say.

Austin police on Thursday said they are seeking a woman seen on ATM bank surveillance video using his debit card. Police say the victim was in a coma at Seton Medical Center, beginning in May. His debit card was used at least eight times, in late June, to steal more than $1,300.

Austin police are looking for a female in her mid 20s to mid 30s who has a young female child. Police say the woman is driving a maroon 2005-2006 Chevy Silverado with a black toolbox in the bed.

I’m guessing this low-life scumbucket probably works at the hospital.

Ann Coulter: Diversity is Not a Strength

Ann Coulter: “Among the worst aspects of America’s “diversity” is that liberals’ reaction to a heterogeneous population is to create a pecking order based on alleged victimhood.”

As usual, an outstanding job by Ms. Coulter  of breaking down a topic and completely neutering the object of her ridicule — in this case the Army Chief of Staff, Gen. George Casey (the much-in-need-of-retirement Gen. Casey).

And make no doubt about it — Gen. Casey is worth all the ridicule and scorn in the world for his early remarks on the jihad attack at Ft. Hood.

Actuaully, Ann’s object of derision is diversity, more than the general.

And she goes after Obama on this issue to:

After conferring with everyone at Zabar’s, Obama decided that if a standard civilian trial is good enough for Martha Stewart, then it’s good enough for the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. So Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is coming to New York!

Mohammed’s military tribunal was already under way when Obama came into office, stopped the proceedings and, eight months later, announced that Mohammed would be tried in a federal court in New York.

In a liberal’s reckoning, diversity is good when we have both Muslim jihadists and patriotic Americans serving in the U.S. military. But diversity is bad when Martha Stewart and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed are subjected to different legal tribunals to adjudicate their transgressions.

Yes. I love Ann Coulter and want to have her babies (call me Ann…). Why do you ask?

Lt. Col. Allen West: Now is Not a Time for Cowards

Ret. Lt. Col. Allen West: “There may be those who feel threatened by my words and would even recommend they not be uttered. To those individuals I say step aside because now is not the time for cowardice.”

Or for cowards.

Lt. Col. West, who served as a Battalion Commander at Ft. Hood from 2002-2004, has some things to say about the terror attack that took place at his former duty station — and, as a real man does, he doesn’t sugar coat it or back away from the scary truth:

On Thursday, 5 November 2009 Ft Hood became a part of the battlefield in the war against Islamic totalitarianism and state sponsored terrorism.

These should have been the very first words out of our Commander in Chief’s mouth when he addressed the nation. Instead he gave a shout out to an old Indian medicine man and denigrated the Medal of Honor.

Our Country has become so paralyzed by political correctness that we have allowed a vile and determined enemy to breach what should be the safest place in America, an Army post.

We have become so politically correct that our media is more concerned about the stress of the shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan. The misplaced benevolence intending to portray him as a victim is despicable. The fact that there are some who have now created an entire new classification called; “pre-virtual vicarious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)” is unconscionable.

This is not a “man caused disaster”. It is what it is, an Islamic jihadist attack.

If only our Commander in Chief had the same moral clarity and same moral courage…but alas, he simply doesn’t.

Make sure and read the entire post.

Danielle Simpson: Scheduled for Execution Tonight in Huntstville

UPDATE: Justice has been served. This sick animal has been put down.

_________

Unfortunately for justice, last night’s scheduled execution of Gerald Eldridge was postponed for 90 days.

The face of an evil animal

If tonight’s execution of Danielle Nathaniel Simpson is delayed or stayed, whichever judge(s) is(are) responsible should be hanged (in effigy) — as Simpson is one of the sickest, most evil men on all of death row, and is more deserving of death than anybody I can remember in a long time.

Just a reminder as to what Simpson did to deserve the death penalty:

Danielle Simpson and two accomplices (his brother and his wife) broke into the home of 84-year-old Geraldine Davidson to burglarize her home.

Unfortunately for Mrs. Davidson, she returned home and cuaght the trio of thugs in the act. Simpson duct-taped her mouth and bound her hands and feet with more duct tape. Simpson then put a pillow case over her head and dumped her in the trunk of her own car.

Simpson and his family of animals then drove to several different locations before heading to the Neches River, where they dumped Mrs. Davidson in the river, tied to a cinder block.

Think about that for a moment: these animals gagged-and-bound an 84-year old woman, tied her to a cinder block, and dumped her — while she was still alive and undoubtedly terrified beyond imagination — into a river to drown. Now, imagine that it was your grandmother.

The kind of evil required to do that is unimaginable. And there is only one way to treat an animal (which is what Danielle Simpson is) like that — put it down.

From the Office the Attorney General:

During the sentencing phase of Simpson’s trial, the State introduced evidence that after Mrs. Davidson had been placed in the trunk of the car, Simpson appeared happy. As the group drove away from Mrs. Davidson’s house, Simpson said that white people deserved to die. Evidence was introduced that Simpson had been placed on ten-years’ deferred adjudication in 1999 for indecency with a child. Witnesses said he was a member of a Palestine street gang, which was linked to drug trafficking, assaults, robberies, and shootings. He also was implicated in several burglaries.

Some people are just so evil — the kind of evil that can never be “rehabilitated” — that the world is simply better off without them in it. Danielle Simpson is one such person. And tonight, shortly after 6:00 p.m. Huntsville time, the world will be just a little better off than it was before.

_________

UPDATE: Oh, and if your stomach can handle it — here’s the “final letter” that one of Simpson’s scumpal groupies wrote him over at PrisonTalk (a forum for exceptionally fucked up women of unimaginably low self-esteem and even lower self-worth)…

From Cindy:

Dear Danielle,

Tommorow is the day… November, 18th.
My thumbs are spinning so hard, hoping that you will get a stay.
Unfortunally that chance is so little…
Most likely you are gonna die tommorow.
Damn, who in this crazy world kills a father of 2 little children, with a clean conscience?
Legal murder, the most redicules thing in the world, but something the state of Texas seems to love.

I’m sorry you have to live in a world that is so corrupt and degrading.
I’m sorry that you had lived your last years in a cell, 23 hours a day.
I’m sorry that they treated you so damn cruel and unjust.
I’m so sorry that they treated you so bad that you wanted to die rather then live in the envoirment that you live in.
I’m sorry we didn’t had more time…. I’m so goddamne sorry……..

There’s not enough therapy or medication in the world to help solve the kinds of problems that Cindy has…

A Happy Homecoming!

Happy hound hops/howls/hugs her honorable human.

God Bless Our Troops, and their friends.
