Barack's First SCOTUS Appointment

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Wednesday, February 06, 2008 4:36:28 AM
If we end up with a President Obama in 2008 don't be surprised if we see Supreme Court nominee (probably to replace Ruth Bader Ginsberg) by the name of Robert Schnider.

Who is Robert Schnider? He's the Los Angeles Superior Court Judge who ordered, at the request of the Chicago Tribune, that the child custody records for Jack and Jeri Ryan's divorce be made public. A very rare occurrence in divorces. Some embarrassing, yet unproven, allegations were made public and the popular Republican Ryan was forced to step down from the Senate race he held a commanding lead in, just three months from the contest. His opponent? Barack Hussein Obama. Who went on to a landslide victory over carpet-bagging token Alan Keyes (who I like but was a pandering selection).

Just a little history lesson here. How quickly we forget that BHO's political career depended on the decision of one rogue judge in Los Angeles.

Fertility and US

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Friday, January 18, 2008 12:01:24 AM
From this article on the US fertility rate and it's increase....

"Experts believe there is a mix of reasons: a decline in contraceptive use, a drop in access to abortion, poor education and poverty."

How arrogant. We had 3 kids because we like children and selfishly put up diapers, less disposable income, sleepless nights, etc. so that someone other than the Federal government might wheel us around the park in our old age.

It must be lonely in the ivory tower, because they aren't having any kids. It pisses the Left off because they Red Staters are having a lot more progeny than Blue Staters. Read Mark Steyn's "America Alone" to find out why this is great news.

Sterile and happy

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Friday, November 23, 2007 3:22:24 PM
From the Daily Mail.

I find it interesting how abortion is now a virtue in the eyes of the Left. Proving all the more that Environmentalism/Liberalism is as much a religion as any. Phrases like "morally wrong" and "saving the planet" prove their religiousity and their lack of originality.

Only God knows (yes, I'm religious too!) if that child would've grown up to cure cancer or fuel cars with air or happy thoughts. Though most Henny-Penny liberals wouldn't get very far in cars propelled with happy thoughts.

Remember: "Everything proves Global Warming"

Following the Apostle Paul (not really)

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Monday, November 05, 2007 9:47:33 AM
From a Bloomberg article, Jim Rogers, a former partner of George Soros, said last month he's selling all his possessions, including his home, in the U.S. currency to buy China's yuan. He said...

``The dollar is collapsing,'' Rogers said last week in an interview. ``I'm moving to Asia because moving to Asia now is like moving to New York in 1907 or London in 1807. It's the wave of the future.''

Oh. So he's trailing the path of Christianity. Must like the benefits.

Not Allowed to Hit Girls

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Thursday, November 01, 2007 12:22:01 PM
Knew it was coming. But I thought it would at least wait until the general election. From an article by Sam Youngman on thehill.com...

Apparantly Hillary didn't do so well in the last debate (not that anyone was watching... not me)

The criticisms followed Penn’s assertion that Clinton was “unflappable.” He also said criticisms from Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) would backfire and that he was already “detecting some backlash,” particularly among female voters.

Those female voters are saying, “Sen. Clinton needs our support now more than ever if we’re going to see this six-on-one to try to bring her down,” Penn told those on the campaign call.

He, Mantz and several supporters hinted repeatedly on the call that Clinton was unfairly targeted by Tim Russert, debate moderator and host of NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“Russert made it appear that President Clinton had done something new or unusual,” Penn said, before adding that it “is, in fact, an extremely confusing situation … I think there will be further clarification.”

The Clinton Campaign has predictably turned this into a money raising event. Tim Russert is going to get slapped over this. The "clarification" will no doubt a listing of new "rules" designed to protect Clinton from criticism.

Fairness Doctored

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 12:22:04 AM
OK. So the "Fairness" Doctrine has been dredged up again in an effort to silence critism of the Left and Democrats. The report, "The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio" is in and aparantly conservative radio makes up 90% of all talk radio. Too few mega-corporations controlling too many local stations. Not one of those "mega-corporations" could claim 33% of the market and ergo influence like French corporation Vivendi does in thier ownership of Universal Music. The average talk radio listener is an adult who is more than willing to change the station when Sean Hannity won't stop talking about himself, or when Dennis Prager is doing his "Happiness Hour" or Rush is on vacation. However minors are less likely to realize that they are being bombarded by suggestive lyrics and anti-american diatribes by many of Vivendi's roster stars. Yet no one is screaming for regulation here.

They Have Their Bible

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Thursday, May 03, 2007 10:26:36 PM
“There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus” - Blaise Pascal

"God got the power, man has got his vanity,
Man gotta choose before God can set him free.
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one." - Bob Dylan

There are those who put their faith in Jesus Christ, and then there those who choose Al Gore.

They have their bible. Because the Beatle endorsed one isn't good enough any more.

They have their Ten Commandments, The Earth Charter (pdf). 18 commands not just 10. How oppresive!

They can buy indulgences. Er, carbon offsets.

They have an apocalyptic foretelling and prophets like Paul Ehrlich, albeit an incorrect one.

They have their Christmas.

When science/reality proves it all a sham, will anyone (read MSM) hold them accountable? No, they will just move on to the next "religion" that gives them power over others, makes them feel good and fills the "God shaped vacuum" in their lives.

God Given Wipe, er, Right

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Monday, April 23, 2007 11:58:09 AM
Sheryl Crow must be using some kind super strength, Hollywood millionaire TP to be able to get the job done with one square. Maybe I should send her some photos of what I have to deal with.... as Matt Drudge would say, "developing..."

She and Laurie David chronicle their antics and thoughts on their "Biodiesel Bus Blog".

David, after urgently noting the unusual 40 degree April weather in Dallas commented " I would write more, but I have to go run warm water over my hands and thaw out from my run." Hmmm, OK. So Global Warming causes colder than normal temperatures? Not sure if I would hang my hat on that. At least not until it warms up a little.

I'm sorry but after reading excerpts from their poorly written, and even more poorly thought out diatribe, provided by the Washington Post, the archaic phrase "dumb broad" is all that comes to my mind.

My point being made in that the winner of a Greenest person reality show, that Crow dreams of, would get, and I quote here, "a recording contract!!!!!". If my father-in-law wins, I'm not buying the CD. Sorry, Dad, but you just can't sing man! Take special note of the five exclamation marks. Ah yes, the symbology of the Late American Spotted Moron.

Crow's aforementioned toilet paper rationing idea has forest conservation as it's aim. Maybe she should read the latest research on the subject. Apparently America needs to get rid of her trees to cool things down a little.

Get out of Kosovo. NOW!!!

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Tuesday, March 20, 2007 11:28:57 AM
We are still in Kosovo? 1900 troops? Is this why Bill Clinton has been relatively quiet on Iraq, because we are still in Kosovo? It's news to me. But it wouldn't be if the main stream media were unbiased.

Some now, the rest later

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Saturday, March 10, 2007 1:54:34 PM
The Dems will do and say anything for a little money now and a lot of power later. Once they have the power they will get the rest of your money. Here they use their own cowardice as an excuse to raise some pocket change.

China Style

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Saturday, March 03, 2007 4:22:53 AM
I've long heralded the possible benefits of Global Warming. (Capped because it's a belief system) I mean, generally, wouldn't Minnesotans appreciate shorter Winters and longer Summers? Wouldn't longer growing seasons mean more food for the world? Won't some some previously low rent areas suddenly (or slowly) become toney beach front zip codes? Imagine Babs spending millions to live in Compton.

I know the current breed of alarmist/scientist doesn't want to entertain differing views, but let's assume for a nano-sec that the current short-term warming trend is not man caused. Then aren't we powerless to stop it? And if we (by "we" I mean all living things and Mother Earth) evolved, then could this be part of the process? Shouldn't we make lemonade from lemons? If for no other reason than to cool off? Shouldn't some of our resources be spent on how to benefit on this whole melting ice cap thing. I have every confidence that if it's for real, American ingenuity will find a way to turn it all into a net gain, further pissing off a world that won't stop complaining and start competing.

Well the Chinese Government shares feeling on this matter.

Wealthshare for All!

Posted by Contrarian Guitarist on Saturday, March 03, 2007 4:02:41 AM
According to a recent poll, a large majority of Americans showed greater support for government health care coverage.

I'd vote for nationalized healthcare, where universal coverage will ultimately lead, if I knew that movie stars, billionaires and government officials where going to be getting the exact coverage I get, wait in the same offices I wait in and wait (months and years) for the same procedures I wait for. They won't even send their kids to public school, do you think they will send themselves into a public healthcare system queue? Hardly. The so-called disparity between the haves and have-nots will actually begin to exist.

One 24 year-old I was recently talking to lamented his lack of health insurance. He had cable and NetFlix. Combined the cost of these two necessities is greater than a basic health insurance plan. In Los Angeles! He said, "really?" But then he looked sad. I can only imagine he was thinking only old people like thirty-somethings did something grown-up like pay for health insurance. Yes, Johnny it's time to grow up now!

I don't think we are headed to nationalized healthcare because it would put too many ecnalubma chasing lawyers out of work. They are the mightiest of lobbies. Most law makers are lawyers.

That is unless the Atheists (I capitalize "Atheist" because it's a religion too) get their way with the Supreme Court.
