Democrats: Do You Realize Your Anointed Candidate For President Is Everything You Pretend To Oppose?

CAN'T work a fax machine.
CAN'T drive a car.
CAN'T put 2 email accounts on 1 device.
CAN'T list donors on tax return
Can fetch $300,000/speech...Razor's Tweet




Allow me to preface today's piece with a comment on Donald Trump and NBC.  Regardless of what my opinion is of Trump, he managed to reveal NBC's hypocrisy and absurdity. NBC dumped him earlier this week for his remarks about Mexican immigrants (his remarks were proven to be accurate by simply using FBI crime statistics. But that's another matter). Following Trump's dismissal, NBC actually made this statement: "At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values." This from the same network that has Al Sharpton on its payroll. You can't make this stuff up.

Now to Hillary Clinton. Those who follow me and have read my posts on a regular basis know I've written a number of pieces about America's Eva Peron. Feel free to use the blog's search engine to review those posts. 

We now have additional email revelations that clearly show the "smartest woman" in the world (according to her rabid supporters) couldn't pour piss out of a shoe with instructions on the heel. In addition, her pronouncements bashing the rich and targeting economic inequality prove to be superficial. She's proven to be a liar and awash in greed. The latest revelations:

  • She doesn't know how to use a fax machine.
  • Last week, the State Department reported Clinton failed to turn over 15 work-related emails from her "private" server.  They happened to be emails she exchanged with Sidney Blumenthal concerning events surrounding Libya. But Blumenthal gave the House Select Committee 60 Libya related emails he exchanged with Clinton. Someone has a math problem or is lying. Recall, Clinton told the Committee she handed over all relevant emails. Does Benghazi ring a bell?
  • Clinton emailed her staff aid that she heard on the radio that there was a cabinet meeting. Sadly, she asked her aid if she {Clinton} can go.
  • The University of Missouri reached out to Clinton to speak at the opening of its women's hall of fame. She demanded $275K. The school balked and decided to go with Chelsea Clinton for a paltry $65,000 for a half-hour speech or about $2000/per minute. The school must have felt they got a deal.
  • In one email, she asked why Nixon met with Kissinger every day while she only met with Obama once a week. Ouch!
  • Obama officials like David Axelrod said they didn't know about Clinton's private email account yet he (and other officials) communicated with her on her private account.
There's more but who cares? Her supporters certainly don't. They know Clinton represents everything they say they oppose. But like most progressives, their first impulse is always reach for a lie.

The Intolerance of The Aggrieved And Petulant Class

Can we force liberal bakers to bake a cake featuring a Confederate flag?...Razor's Tweet





The progressive political class never ceases to amaze me. They're petulant and always feel aggrieved.  In particular, their proclamations about tolerance as they embrace intolerance if anyone disagrees with them is disturbing. They've even managed to make hypocrisy an art form. More recently we've witnessed this conspicuous intolerance when it comes to same-sex marriage and disparaging the South (you can read my views on both in my previous post).

Intolerance and political correctness of this grumbling class go hand-in-hand. For example, in 1930's Germany, it was politically correct to condone violence against Jews. It took guts to be politically incorrect and show one's opposition to that brutal behavior. Unfortunately, not much has changed in the last 80 years. In fact, on one of my recent posts, I remarked that "Never Again" has morphed into "Over and Over Again." So let's take a moment to list the ways:

  • For example,  the attacks by activist gays against businesses who refuse to photograph their weddings or bake them a cake is reminiscent of the attacks by Nazi thugs against Jewish owned businesses. (Cool your rainbow britches---I'm not equating activist gays to Nazis. After all, gays were also sent to concentration camps during that era in Nazi Germany and many didn't survive. Political correctness and intolerance raised their warped ideology toward gays too).
  • While Christians are being slaughtered throughout the Middle East and around the globe, the American mainstream media remains largely silent because it's politically incorrect to point out Islamist fascism. They're so gutless they don't even dare to publish cartoons that they deem offensive against Muslims.
  • Last year, Brandeis University dis-invited Ayaan Ali to speak. Ms. Ali just happens to be critical of Islam's treatment of women---Oh! Practices such as female genital mutilation to name one. 
  • Not long ago, the CEO of Mozilla was forced out of the job because it was found that he contributed $1000.00 in support of California's Prop 8. He apparently was in opposition to same-sex marriages.
  • It was also last year when Phil Robertson made his views known about homosexuality. The network(A&E) suspended Robertson because of political pressure from gay activists. As Andrea Peyser of the NY Post wrote of Robertson's suspension: "The network essential defended the bruised feelings of the homosexual industrial complex." He was later reinstated after the network realized his suspension was cutting into their revenue.
  • Even Kickstarter, the crowd funding website, refused to allow a campaign to raise funds to produce a film about Kermit Gosnell, the abortionist doctor convicted of murder.
  • Christian and student groups have either been harassed or kicked off student campuses. Conservative speakers are regularly harassed. Just ask Ann Coulter. She needs to have security when she speaks at colleges campuses---if she's even invited.
  • Who can forget the Chick fil A controversy after its CEO was vocal in his support of traditional marriage (whatever that is anymore)? In fact, at the very same time, Pres. Obama's views of traditional marriage were "evolving."  He finally evolved when he realized he needed campaign contributions from the gay community.
We will continue to witness this bigotry and intolerance by the progressive political class. They're always angry and never satisfied anyway. The attacks on free speech, liberty, American history (as evidenced by the controversy over the Confederate flag) and the Constitution will continue. 

I say---grow a set and be politically incorrect. While it takes more courage, it will also set you free. All to often, we've seen the outcomes of political incorrectness---outcomes that have stained humanity.

Progressives Rewriting Their Own Racist History While Still Wearing Che Tee Shirts

A campaign has begun to remove all racist symbols remaining from the Confederacy, but the Democratic Party has refused to leave...WH Press Secretary




While I was off-line last week for almost a week due to that "maybe it was a tornado or maybe not" weather, a ton of news broke from the SCOTUS decision on ObamaCare to their ruling that all states must allow same-sex marriage. And while I have my opinions on same-sex marriage---in short, I'm not opposed to it although I believe it should have remained a decision for each state to make---it's the uproar over the Confederate flag that interested me more.

And for good reason. On a personal note, I never gave the Confederate flag much consideration. I've always been proud living and serving one flag---the Stars and Stripes. As far as I was concerned (and still am), the Confederate flag is just an historical relic. I also found that the furor and outcry over the Confederate flag is not really about that flag at all. It's about revising American history. It's what progressives have been doing for decades. 

And the absurdity reached new levels when it was reported that the U.S. National Park Service began removing Confederate flag merchandise last Thursday. However, the Park Service also said it would allow selling books and educational materials that depict the flag in historical context. Hello! Isn't that the point of teaching the history of a nation---any nation? You see the Park Service fully understands that removing all traces of the Confederate Flag at their Civil War sites would render those historical sites questionable. It would also cut into their income.

If that doesn't illustrate how irrational this debate has become, perhaps this story will shed more light on the issue. Three days ago, the Mayor of Memphis, Tenn., said he wants to dig up the late Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forest and his wife. In addition to being a Confederate general, Forest was also one of the founders of the KKK. And while I agree Forest was a symbol of racism and segregation, where does this nonsense stop? Are we now to remove the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) from his grave because he was a member of the Klan and even a local Klan chapter director? If that's the case, then there are many other deceased Democrat politicians who deserve the same fate. In 1994, then Pres. Bill Clinton praised the United Daughters of the Confederacy for the "wonderful legacy" of their founders  In addition, his mentor was the late Sen. J. William Fulbright (D-Arkansas), a segregationist.

But not only are Democrats now ignoring their own disturbing legacy, they are revising their own racist history (Just as Mr. Obama---with the help of the media---revised his own legacy with his former associates such as the racist and anti-Semite Jeremiah Wright and former domestic terrorists) . And the irony in all of this is that many of these same people proclaim their outrage over the Confederacy while still wearing their Che Tee shirts. The Confederate flag is the legacy of Democrats not Republicans or conservatives. They are revising history to mitigate their own guilt.
