Hey Ms. Fluke Here is Where Your Friends Can Get Birth Control

For the life of me, I can't fathom why she didn't think her incredible tale of people spending $1,000 per year on birth control wouldn't be found out for the farce that it is.

I don't like the word slut being bandied about.  But, the other ridicule she has brought upon herself.

I Am Breitbart

The illustrious Woodsterman created this.  Feel free to take it and spread it far and wide.

I am Breitbart.  The best thing we can do in his memory is carry on the fight.

Oh, by the way Woodie makes great little boxes as well.  Check out his site for your shopping needs as well as a good laugh.

Honoring Breitbart

There is a sadness that is permeating the people on the right today.  A fearless warrior has left us today.  A man who was willing to shine a bright light on the hypocrisy that surrounds our politics today.  He was fearless.  He was tenacious.  He also was a son, a brother, a son-in-law, a husband, and a father.  His eldest child is just 12 years old.

I have been reading the tributes to him around the blogosphere.  Some made by people who only knew of him.  Others by people who met him.  And some who could rightly call him a friend.  They are very touching.  Some surprises are there as well.  Media Matters handled it with dignity:

Media Matters has a long history with Andrew Breitbart. We've disagreed more than we've found common ground, but there was never any question of Andrew's passion for and commitment to what he believed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family today.

Of course there are those on the left that have not.  The twitter feeds will make your hair curl and frankly ashamed.  They are all too willing --eager really -- to bring up Breitbart's response after the passing of liberal lion Ted Kennedy, which was not his best moment, to justify their own hate filled over the top glee at the death of a man who was too young to die.

We also have the people on the right who have already are out with the conspiracy theories that he was murdered.  Some of the accused are George Soros, President Obama, The CIA (apparently they invented a some sort of dart that gives people heart attacks without leaving a trace except a red spot where the dart hits them), and lest we forget Bill Ayers.

What is being lost in all of this is his family.  He has four young children who are dealing with the loss of their beloved daddy.  From all the accounts I have ever heard from people who really knew him, he was a very happily married man and a doting father.  This is a devastating loss for them.

There will be an autopsy.  His father in law has made a public statement that he had a history of heart problems.  I personally knew two people who died very young from natural causes.  Both under the age of 40.  Someone I have known since elementary school has heart problems so severe he can longer work.  These issues started in his late 20's.  These things do happen to young people.

Andrew Breitbart tried to shine a bright light on the truth.  He firmly believed in it.  To honor his memory we owe him and his family some time to process this loss.  To respect the fact that he has young children.  There will be plenty of time after the coroners determine the true cause of death to talk about what happened.  Today should be about honoring a man who stood up for what he believed in.  Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, as human beings, we owe his family the time to mourn their loss with dignity and respect.   Above all, we owe Breitbart the truth, not theories that have no basis in fact.

I read somewhere today that he was a devout atheist.  I don't know if that is true or not.  But in case it is, Andrew, may your spirit live on in the hearts and minds of your children.  There are foremost in my thoughts today.

Jonah has known Andrew Breitbart longer and better than most of us.  He is still in shock and is mourning his friend and colleague.

A Warrior Leaves Us - RIP Breitbart

I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.

Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I’ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I’ve gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.

Breitbart in his own words.  


He was more than just a warrior for the conservative cause.  He was also a son, a brother, a husband, and father.  Let's hope that the left respects those family members in their time of grief and sorrow over the passing of a man too young to die.  


Rest in Peace Mr. Breitbart and thank you for giving conservatives a voice.  You will me missed.  I talked to him briefly while at CPAC just a few short weeks ago. I told him that I bow to his tenacity.  I wouldn't be brave enough to do what he did.  He leaves us with another important lesson, embrace life you never know when it is your time.  

A Girl Can Dream

One sunny day in January 2013 an old man approached the White House from
 across Pennsylvania Avenue , where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He
 spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and
 meet with President Obama."
 
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer
 president and no longer resides here."
 
 The old man said, "Okay", and walked away.
 
 The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama."
 
 The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no
 longer president and no longer resides here."
 
 The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
 
 The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President
 Obama."
 
 The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and
 said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to
 speak to Mr. Obama. I've told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the
 president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"
 
 The old man looked at the Marine and said,
 
 "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."
 
 The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said,
 
"See you tomorrow, Sir."

Quote of the Day - Stephen Chu Edition

“No, the overall goal is to decrease our dependency on oil, to build and strengthen our economy, we think that if you consider all these energy policies, including energy efficiency, we think that we can go a long way to becoming less dependent on oil and [diversifying] our supply and we’ll help the American economy and the American consumers.”

Stephen Chu, Department of Energy Secretary when asked directly if the Obama administration is working towards lowering the ever rising gas prices.  


Yeah, how about that Hope & Change now?  


I didn't blame Bush when gas prices were high during his administration.  I thought it was silly to blame the president when he has so little control.  I kept holding out blaming Obama until I read this.  Hmm, does this remind you of anything?  Maybe this will refresh your memory:

He has not had as much success with electricity, but hey he still has almost a year left so who knows what he can accomplish in that time.  


Is it election day yet?   

About that Claim of Going Broke at Georgetown - Updated

So we have this young woman, Sandra Fluke, lying testifying in front of a congressional hearing about the high costs of birth control; students are going broke.  One would think that someone that is smart enough to get into Georgetown law would be able to do what I did in less than a minute.  I googled the locations of Planned Parenthood that are close to the campus. Guess what?  There are four different locations less than 10 miles from campus.  


Oh and you know what else, Target sells generic brand birth control pills for $9 per month.  Let's see that is $108 per year if my math is correct; 9 x 12 yeah that equals 108.  I have no idea what PP charges for birth control but I can't imagine it is much different than Target.  I bet the average Hoya spends more than that on coffee every year.  


Since I live in the greater DC area I can tell you that they have a very aggressive free condom program here.  The reason being that Washington, DC has one of the highest rates of AIDS/HIV infection in the nation.  (Maybe having a lot of sex with local people may not be a good idea, just a thought). The website that tells you how and where you can get your free condoms is in seven different languages, too.  


Isn't it illegal to testify falsely in front of Congress?  I think that is called perjury, but what do I know?   I am not in Georgetown Law School.  Where do the dems find these people who are willing to lie so patently and openly? 


I was talking to a friend last night who is an attorney and a Georgetown grad last night to get his opinion on this.  He told me that main bone of contention was not the costs of birth control but due to the fact that they are a Jesuit school, birth control is not available on campus; even by third party vendors.  The students are none too pleased that they have to take the three block journey to CVS to get their needs attended to.  I guess buying in bulk doesn't occur to them.  


I have to say the funniest comment on saw on this has to be this one: 

If I must subsidize entertainment for these college girls' vaginas, then I demand somebody subsidize Disneyland tickets for me.

March 23 Lunchtime Rally to Preserve Religious Freedoms

I am not Catholic, but I understand fully what Catholic Charities do in this country.  Catholic Charities across the United States will be forced to close their doors in order to protect their first amendment rights to the Freedom of Religion.  


This administration is waging a war against our beliefs and wants to make us a more secular country.  


Stand up and say Hell No, I Won't Go.  We are being dragged to a place that our society does not want to go to.  


Find a location near you.  If there isn't one, organize one.  Go to your congressman's office if no federal buildings are near by.  Doesn't matter if they support this mandate or not.  If they are not fighting to get it reversed they are not doing enough.  


Visuals matter and this president needs to see that we will not stand by and watch him take our right to worship and the Church's right to their conscience and their doctrine.


This isn't about birth control, this about our constitutional right to worship and the government not interfering with it.  Only the willfully blind don't see the difference.  No one is taking access to birth control, this about forcing a religious body to pay for something that goes against what they firmly believe in.  You want birth control paid for by insurance, don't work for a religious institution.  It is that simple.  


If you don't stand up now, it may be too late.  

Quote of the Day - Randi Rhodes Edition Part 2

Oh my God, what a waste of an education Rick Santorum is! Everything he currently knows he could have learned from a pamphlet that religious institutions give out at the door of a bus station! So now you know why he home-schooled all of his kids. Let's just pray that none of his homeschooled kids grow up to be an airline pilot, okay?

That's all I'm asking. Please dear God, do not let any of these homeschooled kids grow up to be a surgeon, an airline pilot, or a nurse. Or somebody that's in charge of my trans-vaginal mandatory ultrasound. Seriously, no science-y things for them, you know, just religion, let them be all preachers or something.

Now Karen Santorum, who is homeschooling her seven children, has a degree in nursing and law.  Boy she must be an idiot.   Their eldest daughter is currently attending college in Texas.  

An Oscar Dress to Make PETA Proud

Last night was the Oscars.  While I didn't watch, I do enjoy looking through the photos of what the stars were wearing.  I didn't find any that were really horrible.  Most were fine.  Some better than others.  I think I would have to say that this is my least favorite:

Her name is Kristine Wiig and I have no idea who she is.  But I would recommend finding another stylist since this color did nothing for you.  Nothing.

I would have to say that I agree with Jill that Penelope Cruz looked beautiful.

But the one that really caught my attention was this one worn by Missi Pyle.  Not because of what it looks like, but because her Delfino gown was made from "cruelty free silkworms".    Now, I looked this up and I don't see how it can be so since the silkworm must be killed in order to get the threads from its cocoon.  It is breaks out of the cocoon the threads are then damaged and not useable to produce the silk, so it sounds like she is just another dimwitted star trying to make some sort of statement on how enlightened she is only to prove herself an idiot.

Book Review - Never Allow a Crisis Go To Waste - Bart DePalma

I was contacted by the author, Bart DePalma, and asked to be part of a virtual book tour.  Since I love to read, I said sure no problem.  

Never Allow a Crisis to Go to Waste.  Barack Obama and The Evolution of American Socialism is an in depth look at the tactics that President Obama has used to drive this country closer and closer to socialism.  But he does more than that.  He shows in detail the origins of where the ideas for these policies came from; Gorz, Alinsky, Dreier, and Cloward & Piven to name just a few.  

Much of what is in the book will be familiar to those who are paying attention; the bailouts of GM and Chrysler, forcing banks to take TARP money, green energy jobs and more.  But there is more detail on how exactly these things were accomplished.  He goes back to describe the well-meaning legislation passed by President Carter, The Community Re-investment Act.  While this piece of legislation was originally supposed to help people who were credit worthy obtain a home in neighborhoods that banks didn't want to invest in due to crime and poverty rates, it quickly went out of control and led to the deep recession we find ourselves in today.  He details how every president since Carter used this act to increase the level of home ownership.  It also details how  far left wealth redistribution devotees such as ACORN used this to give mortgages to people who never would have qualified and were at very high risk of foreclosure.  

He also goes into some detail regarding how some of President Bush's policies opened the door to Obama pushing his will onto the car companies and to the banks.  A truth that as a party and as a society we need to own up to.  Luckily for all of us, the banks pushed back, while the car companies just submitted to the overpowering control of the government.  

It gives a glimpse into the rise of The Tea Party and the underhanded and illegal means that were used to pass Obamacare.  The story of the effect of the Tea Party has yet to be known.  But the good news is how it did slow down the march towards socialism that President Obama believes in down to his core.  

I found this book to be very interesting and insightful.  A very good tool to use to show to those who are still drinking the President Obama Kool-Aid.  I also just finished reading Ameritopia by Mark Levin and found this to be a good companion for the information that Levin brings out about the history of statism across the ages; how it has failed and exactly what it would take to have the "vision" of their Utopia; Tyranny.  

The book is available on Amazon $11.99 in the paperback version, and for $3.99 for the kindle version.  It is something that I think you find yourself referring back to time and again.   Feel free to purchase through my  Amazon store by hitting the link on the right.  

Some Musings from the Pro Abortion Left

A friend of mine sent me this website.  It is disgusting.  There are not words for exactly how disgusting it is.  It never really occurred to me that people would blog about having and giving abortions, but they do.  Do they ever.  

One abortion doctor is telling women how to raise money to have their abortion.  #3 is especially interesting.  

1) Yard Sale
2) Bake Sale
3) Church collection
4) Student loans
5) Tax returns
6) Borrowing small amounts of money from multiple people (like $25 from four people = $100)
7) Selling rims from a car
8) Selling stuff off Craigslist
9) Braiding hair/hairstyling (utilizing a talent to earn extra money on the side)
10) Cleaning houses

The doctor really liked the keg party idea.  He has decided to pass that one on.  Hey, why not liquor the kid up before you kill them?  

The post on guilt is a must read too.  

There's a lot of stigma, and thus guilt, associated with multiple abortions. When you talk to a woman who is having her second, third, fourth abortion, you will often hear shame in her voice. Why do we shame these women? They are already going through an emotionally difficult time in their lives. Why do we think it's our place to place judgement on them and make them feel like bad people? And what really pisses me off, is that this doesn't just come from antis. I have heard this shaming come from people who describe themselves as pro-choice.

I thought the left said that abortion isn't used as a form of birth control?  It is supposed to safe and rare right?  Sorry, but if you are getting four abortions you should feel shame.  You also need to go to remedial counselling on the use of birth control.  Or better yet, learn how to control your urges.  

Every person needs to read these websites to see how radical these pro abortion people can be.  No matter how many abortions you have, you are not supposed to feel any shame or remorse.  Disgusting.  Simply disgusting.  

Koch Industries Replies to Obama for America's Campaign Lies and Distortions

Shocker that the President's campaign lied about Koch Industries, the left's favorite new target.  Koch Industries sent a reply:

Mr. Jim Messina
Campaign Manager
Obama for America

Dear Mr. Messina:

Because every American has the right to take part in the public discourse on matters that affect the future of our country, I feel compelled to respond directly about a fundraising letter you sent out on February 24 denouncing Koch. It is both surprising and disappointing that the President would allow his re-election team to send such an irresponsible and misleading letter to his supporters.

For example, it is false that our “business model is to make millions by jacking up prices at the pump.” Our business vision begins and ends with value creation — real, long-term value for customers and for society. We own no gasoline stations and the part of our business you allude to, oil and gas refining, actually lowers the price of gasoline by increasing supply. Either you simply misunderstand the way commodities markets work or you are misleading your supporters and the rest of the American people.

Contrary to your assertion that we have “committed $200 million to try to destroy President Obama,” we have stated publicly and repeatedly since last November that we have never made any such claim or pledge. It is hard to imagine that the campaign is unaware of our publicly stated position on that point. Similarly, Americans for Prosperity is not simply “funded by the Koch brothers,” as you state — rather it has tens of thousands of members and contributors from across the country and from all walks of life. Further, our opposition to this President’s policies is not based on partisan politics but on principles. Charles Koch and David Koch have been outspoken advocates of the free-market for over 50 years and they have consistently opposed policies that frustrate or subvert free markets, regardless of whether a Democrat or a Republican was President.

If the President’s campaign has some principled disagreement with the arguments we are making publicly about the staggering debt the President and previous administrations have imposed on the country, the regulations that are stifling business growth and innovation, the increasing intrusion of government into nearly every aspect of American life, we would be eager to hear them. But it is an abuse of the President’s position and does a disservice to our nation for the President and his campaign to criticize private citizens simply for the act of engaging in their constitutional right of free speech about important matters of public policy. The implication in that sort of attack is obvious: dare to criticize the President’s policies and you will be singled out and personally maligned by the President and his campaign in an effort to chill free speech and squelch dissent.

This is not the first time that the President and his Administration have engaged in this sort of disturbing behavior. As far back as August, 2010, Austan Goolsbee, then the President’s chief economic advisor, made public comments concerning Koch’s tax status and falsely stated that the company did not pay income tax, which triggered a federal investigation into Mr. Goolsbee’s conduct that potentially implicated federal law against improper disclosure of taxpayer information. Last June, your colleagues sent fundraising letters disparaging us as “plotting oil men” bent on “misleading people” with “disinformation” in order to “smear” the President’s record. Those accusations were baseless and were made at the very same time the president was publicly calling for a more “civil conversation” in the country.

It is understandable that the President and his campaign may be “tired of hearing” that many Americans would rather not see the president re-elected. However, the inference is that you would prefer that citizens who disagree with the President and his policies refrain from voicing their own viewpoint. Clearly, that’s not the way a free society should operate.

We agree with the President that civil discourse is an American strength. That is why it is troubling to see a national political campaign apparently target individual citizens and private companies for some perceived political advantage. I also hope the President will reflect on how the approach the campaign is using is at odds with our national values and the constitutional right to free speech.

Sincerely,

Philip Ellender

This is Priceless - Kira Davis Apologizes to President Karzai

Quote of the Day - Students for Life of America

"If performing a vaginal ultrasound is equal to the violence, invasiveness, and vulnerability of rape, then Planned Parenthood, which performs more than 200,000 abortions a year through procedures more invasive than a simple ultrasound, is without question the largest practitioner of rape in our country. Why isn’t anyone rushing to arrest Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood’s proud president, for raping millions of women and then profiting billions of dollars from it?"

You see PP has admitted that ultrasounds are performed as a normal course of a surgical abortion:

“That’s just the medical standard,” said Adrienne Schreiber, an official at Planned Parenthood’s Washington, D.C., regional office. “To confirm the gestational age of the pregnancy, before any procedure is done, you do an ultrasound.”

The only difference being is that the mother will see what is on the ultrasound.  That is the ONLY difference.  Heaven forbid they perform an abortion with the woman being fully informed of what the procedure actually is; the death of a child.  I don't think that making abortion illegal is the answer.  Creating a culture of life is the real answer.  Fully informing women is a step in that direction.

How Low will Progressives Go?

Runaway Slave with CL Bryant

Just returned home a short while ago from the DC Premiere of the new documentary Runaway Slave.  An honest look at the plight of conservatives who happen to be of color.  


Pastor Bryant lost his church for preaching about conservative values.  He was dismissed from the NAACP after voicing his opinion about the horrors of what abortion is doing to the black community, so he knows of what he speaks.  He has lived it.  


It is a powerful and thought provoking look at the community, the values they hold, and how they are taken for granted by the Democratic party.  


Hollywood has not embraced this movie (shocker, I know) and they need help getting it more widely distributed.  It doesn't necessarily answer the questions of why the black community votes the way it does, but it does generate some questions.  


If you get a chance to see it, please take advantage of it.  


Oh, I got the chance to meet Zo.  He is just as charming and funny as he appears in his videos.  

Teacher Suspended for Telling Disruptive Student to Return to Mexico

The headline sounds worse than it is.  This is a kid who isn't in a public school to system to learn, shown by his behavior.  He was told he get the forms in Spanish, all he had to do was go to the office.  He kept telling her he is Mexican.  So, if you are a Mexican, go back to Mexico.  It seems pretty simple to me.  This child was causing other students to have their learning time disrupted as well.  There was a time when children actually respected their teachers.  I guess that is just another relic of a time gone by.

H/T The Conservative Lady.
