Ventura Still Brain Damaged
May 22nd, 2009
Jesse Ventura On Fox And Friends still hasn’t figured out why the World Trade Center towers fell. He employes the intellectual cowards ploy of “just asking questions.” Yeah, when you have no real proof, you try and elevate questions to the level of facts.
Yeah, Jesse, we get it, you are not smart enough to understand that the towers didn’t fall at the so called “free fall” rate, hell I tend to believe the man never even heard of the concept of free fall before latching onto the conspiracy theorist hype surrounding 9/11. To this mullet head it’s a buzz word he picked up from a conspiracy site, sound good, but he doesn’t really understand the concept.
Apparently his knowledge of basic physics is even more lacking, or he would know the energy necessary to bring the towers down was always in the buildings in the form of potential gravitational energy. When a shitload of mass falls, it releases lots of pulverizing kinetic energy, no explosives needed. It’s been over 7 years and the 9/11 truth loons still have learned nothing but how to parrot long debunked conspiracy claptrap.
Only in America would we take the ramblings of a former frogman turned wrestler as something that deserves consideration or even election to public office. Maybe if Ventura has all these “Questions” he should talk to a structural engineer with the talent to build skyscrapers, these guys understand the forces involved, you will note they are not the ones asking questions.
Asking stupid questions does not make one a patriot. It only makes you look like a fool.

Obama tones down National Day of Prayer
May 14th, 2009
Obama tones down National Day of Prayer observance – CNN.com.
This is a step in the right direction.
Task Force Chairman Shirley Dobson said in a statement that she was disappointed in the “lack of participation” by the Obama administration, adding that “at this time in our country’s history, we would hope our President would recognize more fully the importance of prayer.”
Dobson will be a presenter at that event, along with her husband and former president of Focus on the Family James Dobson, author Beth Moore, NFL player Shaun Alexander and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Wait a minute! James Dobson?…. The guy from Focus on the Family? The pandering, homophobic, fear mongering leader of a ultra conservative cult? Dobson who attacked Ed Perlmutter, running in Colorado’s 7th district, for hiring — get this — gay staffers. That James Dobson???
Can you imagine the braying of the Dobson types if the White House decided to take part in a national Pagan Day of Naked Dancing? Animal sacrifice is popular in some religions, lets have the President slaughter a goat for yahweh. How about a national day of flagellation?

Patriot Act Arrest Claim Not all it Seems
May 13th, 2009
As much as I think the Patriot Act is a oxymoronicaly named corrosion of our freedoms, the hysteria over the story of the North Carolina teen supposedly held under the act without legal counsel is proving to be untrue.
FBI agents investigating a February 15 bomb hoax that evacuated the mechanical engineering building at Purdue University traced the phone call to the juvenile’s Oxford, North Carolina home. They served his mother with a search warrant and arrested the teen. He does have an attorney and will get his day in court.
The claim that the boy is a victim of USA PATRIOT, though, appears to have been cut from whole cloth. While there’s plenty to criticize in that post-9/11 law, it doesn’t contain any provision that abrogates a defendant’s right to a trial. It’s also not responsible for making it illegal to phone in a bomb threat. That’s been a federal crime since 1939.
Bloggers, TV, Go Nuts Over Misleading ‘Patriot Act’ Arrest Claim | Threat Level | Wired.com.
Blogs and talk radio on the left and right have been howling over the original rumor, but strangely quiet now that the story is proving to be over hyped fear mongering. These so called news sources play to the popular conspiratorial viewpoint, people eat up claims of big bad evil men taking away your rights but suddenly become deaf to the real story.
This is one of those stories that when I first heard it set off my bullshit detector. It didn’t sound right, and sure enough the truth is far less ominous than the ballyhoo.

Marion Barry “Cracks” Me Up.
May 7th, 2009
Barry Warns of “Civil War” Over Gay Marriage
“All hell is going to break lose,” Barry said while speaking to reporters. “We may have a civil war. The black community is just adamant against this.”
The specter of black men and woman protesting the legalizing of gay marriage strikes me as obscene. Maybe they don’t remember that as late as 1967 some of our southern states had laws forbidding interracial marriage.
These bans were supported by many clergy of that time, and they could quote you biblical verse seeming to condemn mixing of the races. The Supreme Court saw fit to drag these backwoods bumpkins into the 20th century.
Here, Let me fix that for you.
What is even weirder is their moral spokesman is Marion Barry who had a short but popular reality TV show, “Toking with Barry” where he smokes crack with his “Girlfriend” and the undercover FBI men. Marion Barry’s administration was plagued by scandals and rumors. His womanizing and partying prowess was legendary. Not exactly a good example of family values.
Said Barry:
“What you’ve got to understand is 98 percent of my constituents are black and we don’t have but a handful of openly gay residents,” Barry said. “Secondly, at least 70 percent of those who express themselves to me about this are opposed to anything dealing with this issue. The ministers think it is a sin, and I have to be sensitive to that.”
Well gee Marion, your race only makes up 10% or so of the American population. If we handed out rights based on popular vote you would still be picking cotton instead of pimping your political standing to a bunch of loud mouth bible bigots.
They’re Not Fish…. They’re “Sea Kittens”
May 2nd, 2009
Propaganda aimed at children is one of the more deplorable aspects of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals PETA. In an earlier post I showed PETA comic books given to kid, explaining to them how “Your Mommy and Daddy Kills Animals”, replete with gruesome illustrations. It makes sense to PETA, children are suckers for this form of scare tactic and they lack the experience to spot the illogical aspects of what PETA is selling.
An informal opinion poll taken with my cats, definitely show cats do not see fish as equals on the evolutionary ladder. No they see them a food, pure and simple. Even a cat knows something PETA does not, fish are not kittens. And most people know kittens are not babies.
What I want to know is why PETA stopped at fish? Why not rats, I would put rats above fish. PETA should have the courage of their convictions and start a movement to stop the killing and poisoning of rats. So what if it will mean increases of diseases. “A Rat is a Dog, is a Baby, is a Boy” Right? Hell, why stop at fish and mammals? We have too long ignored the slaughter of billions of roaches!!!!! And what about our viral friends? Germs have rights too!
Of course what PETA wants you to forget is that fish and animals are an important source of protein for mankind and other animals, in some areas the only viable source. Man never could have evolved as far as he has without it. Picture a PETA kook telling an Eskimo NOT to fish! an island dweller to subsist on wild plants alone. Makes you wonder if PETA thinks at all. Man could not have roamed the Earth to the extent he has without becoming omnivorous. Using animals to process inedible grasses and shrubs into meat and milk was the product of increased intelligence, same with using animals to power transportation and farming equipment.
But PETA have that self hatred you see in many self righteous causes. The idea that animals are just as important as people is pure BULLSHIT!.
