Kickin' It Old School

I'm back in Washington and taking one of my fortifying walks around town. They are preparing for next week's Fourth of July spectacular: the grass is being cut, steps to the monuments are being swept, vendors are setting up temporary shop, getting ready to dole out five dollar bottles of water and six dollar popsicles. Viva America!

During my walk from the Capitol Building to the Supreme Court, I realized these two institutions are on my last nerve.

Congress, for many things, among them this week: its 300 billion dollar mortgage bailout monstrosity (led by a guy as pure as the driven snow on the mortgage crisis, Senator Chris Dodd) and for Speaker Nancy Pelosi's admission that the Democratic caucus is pushing to reinstate the deceptively named "Fairness Doctrine," which if implemented in the way they seek, would literally silence conservative talk radio.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court isn't exactly living up to its reputation as a reservoir of unparalleled wisdom. Two weeks ago, it handed down a 5-4 decision to grant U.S. Constitutional rights and privileges to the foreign terrorist suspects held at Guantanamo Bay. Today we hear that in another 5-4 decision, the Robes held that the death penalty will not apply to child rapists. Just to be clear: that would be those demons who rape a child.

Who would have thought that the Executive Branch would be the sane one?  (Well, I did, but I'm one of the three people left in America who still supports President Bush. The other two are his mother and one of the twins.)

Wild-eyed stupidity has gripped this town (or at least more than usual).  And we're paying for this self-destructive nonsense, so who are the fools?

As I sat down outside the Supreme Court, I took my iPod out of my ears and turned off the old school Run-DMC. And then it dawned on me.

When the first President Bush ordered the military to remove General Manuel Noriega from his semi-fortress, our Psychological Operations unit came up with the idea of blasting Noriega's premises with heavy metal and hard rock music. Out came Led Zeppelin and Motley Crue, and then, with his hands up in desperate surrender because he just couldn't take it anymore, out came Noriega.

I'm sure those gigantic speakers are sitting in a government warehouse somewhere. Let's get them and set them up outside the Congress and Supreme Court. A little Run-DMC at top decibels, and Nancy Pelosi will be sprinting from the Capitol, trampling Ruth Bader Ginsburg, herself fleeing from the Court.

Now THAT would be a great July 4th.

Yes, it's sick out there and getting sicker by the day!

6/25/08: San Francisco to ask voters to change name of water-treatment plant on shoreline to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant

http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/25/america/bush.php

The Supreme Court sides with child rapists striking down Louisiana law requiring death penalty for such horrible life altering crimes.

The Supreme Court sided recently with the right of government to seize private property for private development.

The Supreme Court declared that Sodomy is not a crime and that has lead to ......

There is an effort by the perverse politicians in California to remove the initiative from the November
ballot for Californicators to vote on that oxymoronic issue, "Gay Marriage" to overturn the black robes editict allowing such abortions which the voters overwhelmingly previously voted against.

House Speaker Pelosi now seeks to squelch free speech by shutting down conservative talk radio by bringing back the Orwellian "Fairness Doctrine".

And today, it would not be a surprise to see the court strike down the second amendment right to bear arms.

OUR COUNTRY IS TRULY UNDER ATTACK FROM WITHIN AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A REACTION TO ALL OF THIS SICK STUFF.

". . . I'm one of the three people left in America who still supports President Bush. The other two are his mother and one of the twins."

I love this line. It recognizes the reality of Bush's situation.

[SteveOk]

I still support Bush and so does a lot of Americans out here in the real America. Monica you need to get out of DC for a while and come to someplace like Oklahoma where we don't have morons like Nancy Peloser and Ruthie B. Ginsburg. The Supreme Court is hell bent on micro-managing our lives and taking as much power as they can grab. I'm afraid if McCain doesn't win in November the next four years are going to be a return to socialism.

[FredK2929]

Typical rightwing melodrama. "Return" to socialism? This has never been a socialist country.

The "real" America, off blogs like this, have given up on Bush.

[J. Pierpont Finch]

We at least the Supreme Court narrowly (5-4) got one right!

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Today, for the first time in the nation's history, that individual Americans have the right to own guns for personal use, and struck down a strict gun control law in the nation's capital.

Monica: While I admire your loyalty to the Republican party, you are much too smart and pop-culturally aware to support Bush. Me, I thought his father, 41, was one of the most underrated of Presidents, overseeing the dismantling of the Soviet Union (Did you see the recent PBS Biography?). History, I believe, will be kinder to "Poppy," his maneuverings with the UN, the First Persian Gulf War coalition, and overseeing the dismantling of the totalitarian regime in South Africa. But his son is just a horrible President, relying on his gut-instincts, which aren't all that highly attuned in the first place.

JP Finch's note on SF Proggers wanting a George W. Bush Sewage Plant has inspired the Gringo Advisory Board. On spot notice, four members of GAB kindly complied. They immediately decided that other leading Americans also deserve special memorializing.....

(Fox)WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Americans have a constitutional right to keep guns in their homes for self-defense, the justices' first major pronouncement on gun control in U.S. history.

The court's 5-4 ruling struck down the District of Columbia's 32-year-old ban on handguns as incompatible with gun rights under the Second Amendment. The decision went further than even the Bush administration wanted, but probably leaves most firearms restrictions intact.
-----------------------------------
Ok, good news and bad. The good news is we get to keep the Second Amendment for now, the bad news is there are 4 "Justices" who don't think the Second Amendment means what it says. Lord help us.

Well Monica, make that four. I still support the President.

And you're doing a great job on the Laura Ingram show.

Yo Monca you cute thang you,

Want a gigantic speaker, use on them white Pelosi/Ginbug wimmen? How 'bout Bobba Dylan?

You hear what Bobba Dylan do? He ain't never endorse nobody. Now he come out an' endorse my man Barra! Yeah. He doin' Barack Obama now, the main Hussein. I don't think he on the toke either.

Like "The Times They Is a 'Changin."

So now they can turn up the amps an' the ramps on the Pelosi/Ginbug wimmen. They even could play 'Doan Think Twice' by Bobba Dylan.

In fack, they doan need t'think twice. They doan need t'think at all.

Just VOTOBAMA! Like Bobba Dylan.

VOTOBAMA!

Yo Monca, you dig it?

[FredK2929]

My understanding is that the DC law was struck down as overbroad because it was an outright ban. You can expect a new DC law restricting the ability to have handguns in your home.

The only thing worse than a wingnut is a wingnut with a gun.

[Ummah Gummah]

The ABSOLUTE WORSE is a moonbat with a pen.

[Ummah Gummah]

There's so much to respond to here.

What truly irks me the most is their "Fairness Doctrine".

Today talk radio - tomorrow zee internet!

And that ain't no joke kids! They're already doing it in Germany now. The most important anti-jihadist website out of Germany is politicallyincorrect aka www.pi-news.net.

Under threat of numerous lawsuits by various individual moslems - as well as those organized in various groups similar how they are doing it here - they have had to relocate their host server out of Europe in order to immunize themselves from further lawsuits as well as possible criminal charges for "defamation".

Which for some can mean publishing a motoon with a turban-bomb.

or mentioning that Mahomet the fake prophet sired the 9yo girl names Aisha.. poignant that our Supreme Kommissariat just wiped away the death penalty for such an heinous act on a child.

YES, folks in the EUSSR that c an get you three years in jail.

All the while foreigners aka "immigrants" routinely get nothing but probation for savagely murdering and attacking the locals.

Anyone who fights back is immediately branded a Nazi and a "racist" a la Kommissar Fred, and helicoptered in blindfolds and legirons to the Highest Court for a nationwide show-trial.

That was the Ermyas case. When it fell apart which it did liek the so-called rape case at Duke NOT a PEEP from the media!!!

Not a D*MN peep.. no restitution.. no investigations into the legality of shipping this self-defender across the country in such a humiliating fashion.

This guy didn't even have a recode while the guy who assaulted him had a LENGTHY record.

And he lied his butt off and slowly the case fell apart. Needless to point out that there was no prosecution for false testimony or anything like that.

Nor was this Ermyas then brought up on assault.

The whole system was geared to bringing a "racist" and a "Nazi", namely what the elites think 99% of the people are - to "justice".

All so they can FEEL GOOD.. that THEY are "doing something" about "racism" and "injustice".

No wonder that many are commenting on this heinous nonsense which is beyond criminal.

These people are being silenced via something akin to the "Fairness Doctrine".

Beware the beginnings.. Kommissar Pelosi.. she of the leather-face and the dead eyes.. would curb all our speech..

No way we could expect this doctrine to apply to N.ational p.alestinian r.adio, PBS NBC CBS and their cohorts..!!!!

[Ummah Gummah]

Oh and as it turns out.. one of the biggest liEEberals in Germany the author Gunther Grass was recently outed as a former member of the Waffen-SS..

No, not the Hitler Youth or something that the MSM could worm him out of his past with.

No Gunther GraSS was a member of the Waffen SS.

Reminds me of Sen. Robert KKK Byrd...

They are always the biggest liberals.. they are merely getting on the next train they can ride top power and fortune.. the Freds and the Tims are the much-needed foot soldiers.

[Ummah Gummah]

The "Fairness Doctrine" will turn the USA instantly into Europe.. there will be this huge resentment by the completely voiceless majority living under the dictate of a very activist minority.

And who knows how the Supreme Kommissars would interpret the amendment pertaining to Free Speech when this doctrine is inevitably challenged.

Do we really want to leave this up to one justice Anthony Kennedy?

We HAVE to HOLD our noses and VOTE McCAIN!!

I hate to say it but he does have us in the bag.. the alternative is simply intolerable!

[FredK2929]

You attack us based on a 2006 disclosure by a German writer? My only connection to Gunter Grass is that I read "The Tin Drum" and saw the movie. I can't authoritatively talk about what Grass did as a teenager because I don't know much about it, but "The Tin Drum" was decidedly anti-Nazi.

I'm not sure why you have such a problem with conservative views and liberal views having equal time on the radio. Conservative pundit radio shows have become their own standard format and they dominate the radio. You can't handle having liberal pundits as well?

[gringoman]

Ummah,

Looks like you're absolutely right about Big Brother's take over in Europe. As in the old USSR, socialist scum rises to the top of the pond. The elite figure that neutering those beneath them will be good for social peace. But it's bound to explode over there eventually, as the muslims get increasingly cocky. They forget that the European knows plenty about violence, and eventually, at a certain flash point, will remind the world. This is not to say that Islam won't conquer in the end. Odds seem to be in its favor. But in any case, there will be blood.

Got to credit Michael Savage for his stand on the neo-Stalinist FAIRNESS DOCTRINE. Of course he's persona non grata with Republicans and the liberals naturally hate him for diagnosing their minds and (sic) character so pungently. Just like the old Kommisars, they have to call him a "loon" and "provocateur." SOP for the common apparatchik or dumb-dumb, as we see around here

Every talk jock is talking about this vicious attempt to strangle talk radio where the liberals know they just can't compete since it's free market and the people decide what they prefer, Left or Right.

However, Savage is the only one I know of who is vowing not only to fight the neo-Stalinists but to smash them (if they try to go through with their stinking Soviet-like putsch against Free Radio.)

Wisely or not, he hinted at his tactics. If they try to destroy his show by forcing ownership to hire liberals that nobody will listen to, thereby shrewdly crippling the station's commercial viability and forcing it to drop Talk Radio, he will counter-attack by demanding time on CNN or CBS or NBC etc, for "balance," which of course the pitiful progs do not want included in their Orwellian "Fairness Doctrine." He says he's got the legal firepower to win.

ps I've heard that these apparatchiks have some other cards up their sleeves besides The Fairness Doctrine. If Obama gets in, he might even be able to issue an executive order against the kind of radio that, unlike the "objective" sleazebags in TV land, exposed the Reverend Wright tapes, the Pastor Pfleger tapes etc etc, as was done by Sean Hannity (who also has umpteen libs on his show.)

These liberals, like their Stalinist and Nazi forebears, don't mind "free speech," if it's not too free. Talk Radio is too free for them. It must die. And they may have more than just The Fairness Doctrine hidden in their dirty drawers.

So, unfortunately, the coming election is about more than just The Court.

[FredK2929]

I only know of Michael Savage from you guys. I don't care about him one way or the other.

The problem is that instead of political discussion becoming a standard format on the radio, conservative pundits have become the format. There's a glut.

For people who do want to listen to liberal viewpoints, they really have nothing except Air America, which is just one station that is hard to find. I don't think it's even been explored if "the people" would like to listen to both sides. I certainly find it more interesting when there's an actual political debate on the radio rather than just someone spewing conservative cliches. (Hmm. Who could I mean?)

Giving equal time is not a huge burden for you folks. You might even enjoy picking part the liberal pundits as I enjoy picking apart the conservative pundits.

Also, in true Darwinian fashion, the most fit will survive. Perhaps some of the conservative weak links who make you look ridiculous (like Monica "Obama Is Like New Coke" Crowley) will lose air time in favor of the stronger conservative pundits.

[J. Pierpont Finch]

If we HOLD our noses and VOTE the maverick McCAIN, there are no guarantees he will appoint conservative judges. There's only a chance he will! With Obama, there is no such chance!

Memo to Fred Koolaid.. you can suck up to Michael Avari all you want.. and you two can congratulate one another how "gentlemanly" you both are.

I wish Michael the good sense to realize when he is being played..

And you, Fred.. you can dish out the most disgusting of allegories and then you go and creep under Mama Michael's skirt.

What you said to Gringo is beyond contempt.

I won't even bother to say SHAME on you.

[Ummah Gummah]

Kinda parallels the way the libs have been playing John McCain..

We need McCain to wake up a lot more urgently than we need Michael to realize he is being used..

But it is sad to see nonetheless.

[Ummah Gummah]

test

[Ummah Gummah]

J.P: I heard that McCain did say he'd appoint judges weho have respect for the constitution.

There's no guarantee that he'll do it.

And even Reagan appointed Anthony Kennedy upon whose razor's edge vote each and every decision seems to depend these days..

We're not sure what kind of judges McCain will apoint.

But I think we can be pretty D(typespam filter)mn sure what kind of judge one HUSSEIN Obama will appoint.

Four years from now Franced and England may well seem like staunch bastions of Conservatism if this fovorite son of the School of Entitlement makes it into the white House.

Who knows.. maybe he'll even appoint Michelle to the Supreme Court.. hello Clarence..!

[M/M]

Savage is saying it and I'm saying it. Whatever we may think of President Bush, we do love those two Supreme Court judges he picked (John Roberts
Samuel Alito).

Way to go President Bush...
