SF Communist City Council

As a local radio host calls them the SF Board of Stupidvisors is trying to put a city law in place that would ban ownership of handguns in city limits. The logic behind this is so completed flawed that if you can't see it you obviously believe government should more control to the point of being able to hold the citizenry hostage. The 2nd Amendment's intent is to prevent that and also to have a citizen militia always at the ready. Now you could argue that the later is a dated concept but the communist tendencies of so many politicians makes the former a real concern. You can call me a nut but better than half the country I KNOW agree with me..and maybe more. Gun ownership is also a part of history and those who completely abhor it for any reason don't believe in personal responsibility. They believe we shouldn't have a choice...they believe we can't deter or fix those who would do wrong and instead must remove every burr that might catch your shirt sleeve as you walk by, every curb, stair and door must accommodate any imaginable handicap, and so on. It won't end there you know....once you buy into the gun and not the person kills, then you better take my kitchen knives, my chain saw, my hammer, my baseball bat and for sure my vehicle. Because if I have no deterrent (or I'm just insane) I don't need a gun to kill you or 30 people standing in a movie line...my F-150 could take out plenty.

These idiots in SF think this will make SF safer...The reality is it will attract criminals to SF. It's a well know fact in criminology that criminals are mortified of robbing a home or person who they think could be armed. Yes there are the crazies who have no regard for danger, but that's not the norm. SF has made it easy to be gay in their city so guess what the gay population is like? SF has made it easy to be homeless, pan handle and be a street bum so guess what that population is like there? And now they will advertise that every law abiding citizen who lives in the city limits will turn in and their guns. With no fear for criminals and no protection for the homeowner guess what population will increase in SF?

Where's that armor!

I occasionally read the weblog Lance in Iraq by Lance Frizzell, a 2nd Lt Medical Platoon Leader with the Tennessee National Guard 287th Regimental Combat Team, currently serving in Northern Iraq. Today I linked to a piece he wrote on the hypocrisy of liberals and, as he puts it, the lefty media with respect to criticism of Rumsfeld. The treatment is certainly partisan but then again the biggest example of this was the number of media types that gave Clinton a pass on his many transgressions that a GOP pres would have been crucified for. Lance also has several other good posts today as well.

YOU STILL don't get it!

People just don't get it......the separation of church and state that the founding fathers had in mind didn't mean that as part of the states business you can't, or shouldn't, mention or acknowledge the existence of a god! If that was the case they wouldn't have mentioned the big guy so much in our framing documents. The pledge of allegiance while not a creation of the founding fathers (and in fact was modified to include "under god" in 1954 by Congress) was understood to be a patriotic oath and a public prayer. It is a part of our history, our tradition and it has been a ritual at the start of so many grade school classes and meetings at all levels of government without controversy over "god" for 50 years . And so today we see an example of snubbing the pledge with the old over used and nearly never correctly applied separation of church and state BS!

So why now? Because we have so many F'ing idiot politically correct liberal morons who are willing to throw American traditions out the window while they will embrace traditions not originating here. You will note that every time we have a story like this the F'ing idiot will say to the reporter they consider themselves a patriot....ya well you're not...usually when you meet someone who tells you they're a good golfer you can be sure they can't break 100....same for leftists who feel they need to say they're patriots!

Let's stir it up a bit!

I came to the conclusion long ago that the supposed black (yes black, since the Congressional Black Caucus still uses that label so I will too) leaders don't work for equality but in fact promote separatism. Many of these leaders cry racism in cases where it doesn't exist, they lobby for special treatment based on skin color and create groups, events and holidays that promote nose thumbing and not acceptance and extort large corporations in the name equal rights. Minorities who seek acceptance and equal treatment from whomever the majority is must insist on a level playing field and not one stacked in their favor. Quotas, affirmative action and the like are misguided deck stacking that makes most people still see color. These leaders don't want a colorblind society since their power and celebrity comes from the opposite.

The Christmas season brings out an example of what I'm sure many blacks consider a celebration of their culture, but Kwanzza and the "black nativity" are shams. A puff piece in the SFGate misses the sad separatist attitude of those in the story (and for those of you who deplore that I use the word "black", note it's use in the SFGate story). Rewriting history to change skin color isn't celebrating diversity....it promotes it. Children, I believe, are born color blind...their parents and environment form their colored view of the world. Black children don't have an identity problem because they see a white Santa or Jesus.

As for Kwanzza....it's amazing that so many blacks embrace this as their holiday (and reject others) especially considering its origin. I found an interesting website of black writers and artists with a Less Than Complimentary View of Kwanzza and its inventor!

Where's the media frenzy?

Clinton pardon recipient and democratic money man Marc Rich appears to be a central figure in the U.N. oil-for-food scandal....so where is the media frenzy? If a Bush had pardoned Rich this would be page one, story one everywhere....this story is going to get more and more interesting as more participants are identified.

Internet Causes Media Retirements!

The latest dinosaur media talking head to retire is Bill Moyers.....his recent remarks show his obvious bias and that he like most in the media think they report facts without spin or leaning. I could write a thousand words on examples of spin reporting by any of the big and old guard media elite. Moyers and others use sound bites like "the right-wing media has become a partisan propaganda arm of the Republican National Committee" as if some giant conservative media machine was suddenly planted on the planet by the RNC...there is just Foxnews and half a dozen syndicated talk radio hosts along with many local talk radio right wingers that make up the conservative media. They all started not so many years ago with no noise or fanfare and slowly got discovered by those o f us disgusted by the crap big media flung at us. Aside from how absurd this conspiratorial BS about being a propaganda arm is, did the RNC also force all the millions across the country to tune in? Of course not you bozos! The message, the topics and how they were talked about appealed to millions and the ratings started moving to Fox and the conservative talk radio stations. But Moyers and those like him won't acknowledge that their message lines up with a big audience. Instead they imply that if you listen and are influenced your stupid since a propaganda label implies illegitimate content.

But besides a conservative message that resonates with better than half the country diminishing the power of the old guard media elites was the impact of the Internet. The blogsphere plays a huge role for sure...but the ability to research a topic and find endless information on even the most obscure topics in seconds was huge. Everyone with a connection to the web can do their own fact checking of a story they hear on the news. The result? You look up the facts yourself...often finding not just both sides but in many cases a source with no axe to grind and little to no bias....and as you compare the real story to big media's version you realize just how misleading and biased they are.

Call it want you want Billy, but your glory days are over, good riddance.

Academia's Xerox Club

It's interesting that the country is roughly split down the middle on the major issues that really separate liberals and conservatives given our educational institutions from kindergarten thru graduate schools are dominated by left of center liberals. This is encouraging in that as our young people exit The People's Republic of and experience the real world roughly half make their way to a conservative stance. Sure some kids may start conservative and manage to stay that way, but looking at level of worldly understanding of your average high school graduate I would say most are easily brainwashed by their carbon copy (Xerox) prof's during their 4 or more years at commi-U. I suspect as these neophyte adults get a job and start to take on responsibilities (financial and otherwise) and also see for the first time how fellow workers may abuse the workplace system (coast on the job, fake a workers comp claim, bad mouth the company, etc.) their perspective changes. Surely many make a transition once they buy their first home and have their first child....that changes everything.

This topic comes to mind because of two recent stories, first about liberal turncoat (god love him) Zell Miller who upon retiring was going to move to his home town of Young Harris, Georgia where he also had previously taught at the local college. Miller apparently had a teaching position waiting for him there but he declined it after a history prof there (whose wife is academic dean) wrote him a vitriolic letter which then got published in local papers. The duplicity displayed by so many academics is amazing. Diversity of thought and debate is hardly alive and well at most of our educational institutions.

A similar situation at Harvard has occurred with another Bush supporter. Thank god most of the staff at Harvard says the attitude towards new Prof Jack Goldsmith (former Assistant Attorney General) is wrong. But some of the faculty think a memo Goldsmith wrote arguing that CIA officials could transfer Iraqi detainees out of their native country for interrogation without violating the Geneva Convention in fact condoned torture (nice leap) and so he shouldn't be on the staff. I love how the anti-war (and for many anti-war-ever) left want kid glove treatment of captured enemy solders and then in a second breath will say more troops, guns and ammo are needed to fight. You guys are screwing up not having more fire power to kill the enemy, but if you happen to capture him don't scratch his head, don't even hurt his feelings. Ah yes duplicity once again.

Groups against success and wealth

It seems to me that there are more communists living among us than anyone would suspect. I'm not talking about the card carrying kind, I'm talking about the kind who dont' go by that monicker and are bothered by the success and wealth of others . They constantly promote wealth re-distribution and think someone who makes $10m a year somehow uses more of our countries infrastructure than someone making $50k. Today this money hating crowd comes to mind with the CEO (Jamie Court) of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights complaining that our Governor (the Terminator) isn't releasing the details of his income and instead only how much he paid in taxes and charitable contributions. Both numbers suggest he made a lot and gave a lot.

So what's Court's concern? That "If you don't know how much he makes, you don't know what loopholes he's benefiting from, and you don't know what tax policies he adopts that are good for him or bad for him." What a f'ing moron. Unless Arnold gets the entire state legislature to either pass a tax break specifically for a) someone named Arnold Schwarzenegger or b) whomever is the governor of California any tax policies he pushes that benefit him will also benefit me! But people like this don't believe in trickle down. They think when we buy expensive things (cars, homes, planes, etc) or invest in start-ups, or a REIT, or a hedge fund, or play the options market, or buy income properties, blah, blah, blah....that somehow all of these transactions only see money going into the hands of other rich folks. Somehow all this spending, investing and putting money to work magically bypasses everyone at the lowest income levels entirely...pretty neat trick isn't it?

We have been surrounded by these nouveau communists for a long time....in fact I think most are indoctrinated by being in a profession that requires they join a union. The union mentality is akin to the Borg of Star Trek. There is no reason for individuality in philosophy or excelling at ones job since it isn't appreciated or rewarded. And the "entitlement" attitude also runs rampant in this group. Over 7 years ago I wrote a letter to a local paper in response to similar dribble they published...my response (Economic success is up to individuals) was also published and still appears on their site.

You Don't Get It

Some accused me of lumping all gays together in a previous post, but I defend using generalizations when the majority of the group fits the position. Media liberal elites still don't get it! Check out The Nascar Nightly News: Anchorman Get Your Gun by Frank Rich in the NYTimes. I believe people like Rich are actually promoting a bigger divide than we already have. I may joke and pick on liberals but I only believe a problem lies in the politicians and those in, or with access to, the media who are hard left. Most of my employees are liberal and they line up with me on some positions and aren't far off on others. I believe that's probably the case for the majority of the country. But people like Rich think they are making some scary point by suggesting there is something wrong with people who like guns, fishing and Nascar. This guy (and I think many like him) really want, believe and promote that those with polar opposite views to his must be socially, economically, intellectually different from himself. I think that this shows a lack of confidence in your positions. If you were supremely confident in your positions you wouldn't be so eager to suggest that those in opposition of them have some kind of defect or are stupid. For Rich he says they like things he thinks are dumb, therefore they are themselves dumb, and that explains it. That's really the definition of elitism to me.

Wonderful Gays!

Thanks to the gay activists and the no spine management at Target the Salvation Army will have a mighty big shortfall this Christmas season. The hypocrisy of groups that claim to only want equal treatment is laughable. Way to go Sitzplinkers!

Thanks Pop for pointing this out to me.

Natural Selection

Being a man of science I believe in natural selection even as it relates to the survival of man (well at least some men). Apparently some liberals have invented a mental disorder (I know that wild man Michael Savage calls liberalism a brain disorder, I guess this is a sub-species) called Post Election Selection Trauma (PEST). This is just too funny.....while Taranto of the WSJ called this the The Gift That Keeps on Giving, I like to call it another example of natural selection. Some choice excerpts from the story:

"It's no joke. People with PEST were traumatized by the election. If you even mention religion, their faces turn blister-red as they shout at Bush."

"I'm scared," said one man. "Democracy is at stake and nobody is rising to protest this president."

"The media outlets, especially Rush Limbaugh and his ilk on talk radio, scare our patients to death," said Gordon, facilitator for the meetings. "More than anything else, people with PEST tremble physically.”"

Brain disorders continue in wake of Bush re-election

I guess some people think war is never justified, even while your enemy fires a bullet into your skull. I guess some people think Bush alone knew the WMD stockpiles wouldn't be found in spite of pre-war intelligence of our own and from numerous allies. I guess some people think a president should never rally the troops and citizenry when we are at war. I guess some people think Bush is the anti-christ (oh wait, that would presume they're somewhat religious, never mind). But I don't guess, I know, that some are still bitter and continue to put out completely skewed and illogical vitriolic crap because they are blinded by their hatred of Bush.

Take for example this conspiracy theory evil Bush piece by Mark Morford in SFGate (ok, well maybe this being a San Fran based operation explains it..but).

I looked at those pics....sure some are nasty, sad and awful....ok, so I suppose you think if you could even walk around with a camera pre-Saddam removal you would find smiling faces, flowers, a thriving economy, excellent education and healthcare and so on? I suppose you think the military allowing basically anybody who wants to show up in Iraq (press, celebs, etc.) and all the embedded reporters is masterfully run is like the fake landing on the moon? This is the most open and information heavy military action ever in history.....if the military wanted to (and I would be for it) they could have never allowed a single press person into Iraq.

Give me a break...if you assembled pics of the murders, assaults and generally crime of one individual causing harm every day in the US and just for one day it would look just as bad. So what! To say that anybody thinks this war, or any war, is a well oil and executed operation is pretending there is someone out there to disagree with. The republican base and those who voted for Bush don't think that....they don't all even like that we did it...but we did, so first do it right and finish the job...second find the positives that can come from it.

My buddy Mike shot this article to me and found some quotes that Morford made in various interviews....I think this one shows his colors....the standard elite leftist mantra that to disagree with his views and have supported Bush you must be a knuckle dragging dolt homophobe racist.

A particularly pointed anti-Bush anti-war column will get me gobs of sneering hate mail, mostly from the delirious, hardcore psychopatriots at freerepublic.com or lucianne.com or andrewsullivan.com, et al, where they post chunks of my column in their discussion forums, along with my e-mail address, and encourage each other to flame me, usually in the cutest sort of monosyllabic, ragingly homophobic, horribly syntaxed, misspelled sort of way. Makes me proud to be an American. My girlfriend loves the anti-SF gay-bashing they aim my way, I might add

Tiny's Readers, Help me understand!

I did my first post yesterday that included AIDS and gays in the topic...wow, a flood of comments? So what's up with that? Clearly I have some readers that are to the left of me on some topics and yet nobody felt strongly about "And Yet More Insanity"? Those of you who worry about home land security efforts and how it could affect civil liberties, our treatment of prisoners of war, or profiling in law enforcement, blah, blah....but are you fine with our education system rewriting or suppressing our very own history? What the &*#$ gives?

Negotiations or Military Action in Iran?

Iran is heating up....supposedly working on delivery mechanisms that could reach EU.....Suicide commando units forming that pledge suicide bomb attacks on Americans and Israelis. It will be interesting to see what response we see from our UN Oil For Food conspirators in Europe on this! If this goes military we HAVE to have a coalition that isn't so US heavy as we are already stretched thin.....lets hope this fizzles.

CNN's allegiance lies where?

You may have seen the story yesterday that originated in the LA Times about how the military purposely gave false information to a reporter about when the action in Falujja started. The supposed purpose was to gauge and understand the reaction on the ground by the enemy and CNN was happy to use its signal to inform the terrorist insurgents that they should run and hide, or load their weapons for American troops were on there way. Interesting that CNN (or anyone) seems to think that essentially warning the enemy was ok, but if that warning was false their having been duped by the US Military in an effort against an enemy is questioned. You have to wonder how things would be in America if the US media didn't participate in the disinformation broadcast during WWII?

Gays Get AIDS On Purpose

The title of this post might get me some flaming, but I don't care. A federal study released today shows AIDS cases rising among gay and bisexual men. It also says that these men account for the majority of the approximately 900,000 Americans with reported cases of AIDS. But the main point I want to make here is the rise in cases among this group. I thought the gay community wanted us to believe they are just like me...caring, loving people with family values and in monogamous relationships...just with the same sex. Well Bullshit! Its clear that the gay sex orgies, bath houses and just plain promiscuous lifestyle of the gay community that they claim is an invalid stereotype is alive and well. These people know the risks, but clearly they choose to ignore it...for all I know there's a unspoken badge of honor in the gay community when your infected. The total disregard for many things good, decent and normal is appalling.

It's also interesting that the study found that since 1990 blacks who only represent 13% of the population for this period make up 51.3% of all HIV and AIDS cases diagnosed in the same period. I'm not sure what that tells us....would be curious to see what people suggest is the reason for this BIG TIME anomaly!

UDPATE 1: My buddy Kurt just shot me a link to a Rolling Stone article that validates my hunch on the badge of honor. Get ready to learn about Bug Chasers....sick bastards!

UPDATE 2: Kurt comes thru again with a story that may be one of the reasons for the numbers in the black community.

And yet more insanity!

First, its common knowledge that the California public school system is dominated by leftist and there are few if any arguments that those in the media are not of the same color. Case in point, the Cupertino California 5th grade school teacher who has been barred from using all of, or portions of, our very own Declaration of Independence because the word (you guessed it) "god" appears in the document. Now, I could go off for a thousand words at the complete lunacy behind this.....but my head hurts so lets just ask a few questions. So how do you teach US history without looking at, reading and talking about this document? How can you possibly justify not? Why would a historical document and HISTORY ITSELF somehow offend anyone or cross a church and state line? When you were in grade or high school do you even remember the context of the word "god" in early American historical documents or writings of the time? Of course not, they didn't preach or sway...they just reflected the beliefs of those involved in creating our history.

Then there is the lack of media coverage of this insanity. The number of Google hits on this story is paltry. It should be huge news and cause at a minimum every Bush voter outrage. I think it also proves (at least to me) that those who are terrified of the word "god" especially in this context and agree with the action taken against the teacher are just down right America hatters and something akin to communists. I also lump in the media...look at the San Jose Mercury News story title from the link above....wouldn't YOU write the headline as "Public School Bars Use of Declaration of Independence in class" Isn't that the story? But while all of these MF'rs are in fact America hatters they think they are patriots in supposedly not offending anyone and in their sick minds acting as the protectors of the church and state boundary the original framers had in mind.....these folks need to not be teaching or infecting our youth!

More Christmas without the word!

While watching the news this morning before heading to work I saw a Jack In The Box commercial which is set in what I guess is suppose to be their headquarters. People are all walking around the office with hats that all have to do with Christmas (santa hats, hats with antlers, etc.) as each person greets another they all say "hey Good Holiday Spirit"...you see Jack on some hat and then the commercial ends with the usual take out bag dropping onto a table and its what they call a reindeer ball on the bag instead of their logo. No balls in corporate America anymore...but really, do those who don't believe Jesus was the son of God automatically feel like their being given a religious message if you use the word Christmas but they don't even with all the decorations that are synonymous with Christmas but you avoid the word? I don't think so...IDIOTS!

Christmas is not PC?????

Ok, now I'm ticked off.....on the radio while driving to work I heard a local talk show host say that what was in the past called a Christmas Tree Lighting in the city of Folsom CA is called a Holiday Tree Lighting this year. While it bothered me that any city would bow to this obviously politically correct move I thought well it's just Folsom (famous for pretty much a nasty prison). Then I decided to do a Google search on "holiday tree lighting"....GOOD GOD (yes God)....now I didn't check all 1.5m hits the search returns but you can just page thru city after city across the country who think a tree with lights on it is not JUST ABOUT CHRISTMAS. That's right...you know the Christian feast commemorating the birth of Jesus!!

I can see the leftist politically correct couple taking their kids to the Holiday Tree Lighting at the town square; child: gee dad what's this holiday tree about? dad: well son, ah um, you see its sort of a time to rejoice and be thankful.... child: that's sounds like Thanks Giving dad...the only holiday I have heard of that decorates and puts lights on a tree and has something to do with Dec 25th is CHRISTMAS...dad!!!!!

This is just insane.......do people who are going to the fricken Christmas (because it's not a holiday or festivus tree for that matter) tree lightings think they are celebrating a Muslim event? A Buddhist one? Go get your own holiday you idiots...and I expect your asses at work on 12/25.

The NBA, Precursor to Incarceration

Starting around 4 years ago I pretty much stopped watching, or paying attention to, all professional sports (well, except golf). The NFL, MLB and NBA have become a joke with the leadership and team owners essentially dropping all measure of human decency in favor of W's. The NBA is really the biggest villian here with scouts and sports/shoe company sponsored schools tarketing poor black communities trying to find the next Michael Jordan with only lip service to anything other than b-ball skills. The black community leaders (who exactly are they) should be outraged at the complete lack of values (decency, family, education, good will, etc.) that the music and sports world directly promotes, or indirectly does by not fiercly denouncing or punishing inappropriate conduct.

Case in point....yesterday's Pacers-Pistons NBA game had at first a player only brawl turn into a player spectator brawl supposedly spawned by a fan throwing a paper soda cup at a player. Later two fans having words with a player got the player to throw a bunch to the face of a fan taking him down, and so on. While we can only hope any criminal acts in this milay will be prospecuted (player or fan) the frequency of player loss of control at taunting from fans and even flying cups is COMPLETELY asinine.

This is a total lack of control and a disconnect from decency. The complicity by the NBA leadership with this constant behaivor makes it worse....an NBA spokesman couldn't comment until it "can review the incident". This is a total chicken shit protect the obviously wrong party stuff. You need to review it before you can say that punch throwing fights among players is wrong, and worse players engaging in fisticuffs with fans other than for self defence is unacceptable and should be criminally prosecuted? You can always cover the rush to judgement by saying what action the NBA will take will be decided on review of the incident. However, the review should take about 5 minutes of video watching. Why do you need to interview anybody? There is no excuse regardless of what anybody said or that a cup was thrown...doesn't matter one bit. If the NBA doesn't start suspending for 1 year a player who strikes a player to the head with a close fist, and for life for the same to a fan, then they are complicit and I'll help with their demise.
