Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – Shoot a kid for Jesus edition

Morning, everyone! As you all know, I've been having Bundy Bunch withdrawals for some time now.

There's just nothing that can fill the hole in my soul left by the pissing/moaning/deserting militia morons who have all – run out of money/had to go home and find new jobs after getting fired from their old ones/recharge their hoverounds/pick up their tainted government Social Security checks.

If only…

Militia Sets Up Command Center South of San Antonio
KRGV ^ | July 9, 2014

Posted on ‎7‎/‎9‎/‎2014‎ ‎2‎:‎52‎:‎52‎ ‎PM by don-o

VON ORMY – A militia is gathering south of San Antonio to prepare for what they say is a mission to secure the border.

A leader with the group said they will deploy to Laredo first and spread from there to other parts of the border. The group set up a command center in Von Ormy to train and get organized.

The group has a website called Patriot Information Hotline. The group will not say how many members make up the militia.

The commander is a man named Chris Davis.

"We have patriots all across this country who are willing to sacrifice their time, their monies, even quit their jobs to come down and fight for freedom, liberty and national sovereignty," Davis said.

Here we go.

I have a very, VERY serious question here.

Exactly WHAT are the rules of engagement on this proposed “enforcement”?

That one's easy.
 

How?” Davis asked on the video. “You see an illegal. You point your gun dead at him, right between his eyes, and you say, ‘Get back across the border or you will be shot.’”

The video, which drew sharp criticism, was removed Monday by Davis who said it was taken out of context by a pro-amnesty group, the Chronicle reported.

Of course it was.

And by "taken out of context" they mean "transcribed from the video that dumbass made of himself"

So – are the usual IDiots jumping on the shoot-the-Messican-kids bandwagon?

To: don-o

I got excited when I read it was a militia and figuring they were going to SECURE the border militarily. Reading the article, they are going to ASSIST the Border Patrol/Law Enforcement already there. So my guess is they will be there to assist in handing out teddy bears and lollipops…

As a side tangent,

..as opposed to a front tangent…

anyone listen to Glenn Beck lately? Has he lost his mind? He sounded almost exactly like Nancy Pelosi. 'We need to give them compassion and mercy from the heart and not judgement'. What????????

I guess you'd better go listen to him now, huh?
 
Anyway, back to Chris "shooty-between-the-eyes" Davis  I'm sure the local law enforcement and border patrol is happy for the assistance in targeting and killing kids fleeing the gunfire in their home countries.
 
"Customs and Border Protection does not endorse or support any private group or organization from taking matters into their own hands as it could have disastrous, personal and public safety consequences”

Poor People. Is Anything Not Their Fault?

Further studies in the journalistic passive voice: Milwaukee’s suburban counties were always Republican. They’ve voted Republican for president in every election but one (1964) since World War II. But white flight made them more so. The whites who left Milwaukee County for the outer suburbs were more conservative, and often better off economically, than the people who stayed behind. “On average, Republican movers have more money,” says political scientist James Gimpel of the University of Maryland, who has tracked the migration patterns of both Democrats and Republicans. “That means a broader array of neighborhoods is available to them.” Some of … Continue reading Poor People.

No, not the ferrets themselves. Someone is stealing ferrets: Some ferret enthusiasts say thieves sell animals for clandestine drug research, Mr. Jenkins says. Others speculate they go to the illicit pet trade. Many suspect the involvement of organized-crime rings. “These people are linked to badger baiting, dog fighting and worse,” says Mr. Jenkins’s business partner, James Bradley, referring to a banned practice of using dogs to maim badgers for sport. Mr. Bradley says he had about 27 ferrets filched last February in an unsolved crime that added his name to the long list of victims. “I know of a lot … Continue reading Friday Ferretblogging: Thieving Edition

It’s so hard when you act like an asshole and people actually notice: LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Walt Disney Company will cut funding to the Boy Scouts of America beginning in 2015 because of a policy that bans gay adult leaders in the organization. The Boy Scouts organization is “disappointed” by the decision, which will affect the organization’s ability to serve children, Deron Smith, a Boy Scouts spokesman, said in a statement Sunday. Disney does not provide direct funding to the Boy Scouts, but it donates money to some troops in exchange for volunteer hours completed by Disney employees, … Continue reading Then STOP BEING BIGOTS

Someone Who Is Needy

Homeless Jesus is inappropriate, clearly: DAVIDSON, N.C. — A sculpture of Jesus as a homeless man installed outside a church in Davidson has neighbors and church leaders debating its message and appropriateness. According to articles on sculptor Timothy P. Schmalz’s website, the same “Homeless Jesus” now at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church was rejected by cathedrals in New York and Canada. Schmalz’s site also includes articles claiming Pope Francis blessed and accepted “Homeless Jesus” into Vatican City. From a distance, especially at dusk, you would swear the sculpture is a real-life homeless man sleeping on a bench in front of the … Continue reading Someone Who Is Needy

Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – CogNUTive Dissonance edition

tommyfd

Morning, good people!

Well, there's nothing the Freeperati nutcases are better at than holding two completely opposing ideas close to their alleged hearts at the same time, so let's open up a few drums of the stupid and let it flow.

In reverse order, of course.

First up – That's not racist!

A Defiant Rancher Savors the Audience That Rallied to His Side
NYT ^ | 4/23/14 | Adam Nagourney

Posted on ‎4‎/‎24‎/‎2014‎ ‎8‎:‎49‎:‎32‎ ‎AM by smokingfrog

BUNKERVILLE, Nev. — Cliven Bundy stood by the Virgin River up the road from the armed checkpoint at the driveway of his ranch, signing autographs and posing for pictures. For 55 minutes, Mr. Bundy held forth to a clutch of supporters about his views on the troubled state of America — the overreaching federal government, the harassment of Western ranchers, the societal upheaval caused by abortion, even musing about whether slavery was so bad.

** snip **

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.

“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

********************

Bundy is now being slammed by the left for being a racist.

If he had a better grasp of the fact that black family life has disintegrated in direct correlation to the "War on Poverty", he has a defensible position. Throwing out that "picking cotton" allusion is just stupid.

Bundy is now being slammed by the left for being a racist.

Actually, if these statements are accurate he will be slammed by 90% of America for pretty blatant racist remarks. Paul, Heller, etc, pretty much everyone is going to walk about from someone who talks like this.

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.

And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

I mean, come on now. You can't stand around talking about how the negro should have learned to pick cotton. I mean, even the most hard headed amongst us should understand that you can't ally yourself politically with a person who makes such remarks.

Conservatives really, really, need to pick their battles better. How so many of us get suckered into supporting cranks, completely unelectable candidates, scam artists like Herman Cain who run for office to fund a book tour, etc, etc, I will never understand.

Las Vegas Shooters Bragged About Taking Part In Bundy Standoff
Business Insider ^ | 06/09/14 | Catherine Thompson

Posted on ‎6‎/‎9‎/‎2014‎ ‎1‎:‎13‎:‎49‎ ‎PM by LonelyCon

Neighbors of the couple who ambushed two police officers Sunday in Las Vegas told local newspapers the pair had bragged about spending time at Cliven Bundy’s ranch during the standoff with the federal government earlier this year.

The two suspects, whose names have not yet been released, fatally shot two police officers who were having lunch at a CiCi’s Pizza restaurant before killing a third person at a nearby Wal-Mart. The female suspect then shot the male suspect and then herself in an apparent suicide pact.

Neighbors in an apartment complex where the two suspects lived said they “had a reputation for spouting racist, anti-government views” and boasted about their gun collection, according to the Las Vegas Sun. The newspaper reported that residents of the apartment complex who spoke about the suspects also brought up the couple’s relationship with Bundy Ranch, where the two bragged about being present for the standoff between militia members and the Bureau of Land Management.

Of course the liberal media FOX news is going to run with this all day completely ignore this.

Another lie from lamestream drive-by media.

The shooters were revolutionary leftists of the OWS sort.

If, of course, OWS protestors killed cops…

Without exception, all of the wanton murder sprees and assassinations (or attempted asssination(sic)) of the last 150 years has been done by a DemonRAT: Lee Harvey Oswald, James Earl Ray, Sirhan Sirhan, John Hinckley, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, Nidal Hasan, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. The list of murderous leftists fills a book. In America's history, there has not been a single true Conservative engaged in such violence.

Except, of course for the 75 fringe-right creeps prosecuted by the government since the 80s, including such luminaries as Gordon Kahl, the Silent Brotherhood, Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, Erich Robert Rudolph, Charles Ray Polk, the "Sons Of Gestapo", Willie Ray Lampley, John Dare Baird, Joseph Martin Bailie, Ellis Edward,Hurst, Peter Kevin Langan,  Kevin McCarthy, Scott Stedeford, Mark Thomas, Ray Hamblin, Larry Wayne Shoemake, Robert Edward Starr III, William James McCranie, Jr., Troy Allen Kayser, Gary Curds Baer (and the 12 members of his "Viper Team"), John Pitner, Charles Barbee, Robert Berry, Jay Merrill, Floyd "Ray" Looker, Ricky Salyers, Brendon Blasz, Robert Spence, Carl Jay Wascom, Jr., Edward Taylor, Jr., Todd Vanbiber, William Robert Goehler, James, Cleaver, Jack Dowell, Bradley Playford Glover (and his six accomplices), Chevie Keyhoe, Daniel Lee, Faron Lovelace, Ken Carter, Jack Abbot Greige, Jr., Paul T. Chastain, James Charles Kopp, Chris Scott Gilliam, Benjamin Nathaniel Smith, Buford Furrow, Clayton Lee Wagner, James Kenneth Gluck, Kevin Ray Patterson, Charles Dennis Kyles, Donald Beauregard, Mark Wayne McCool, Richard Baumhammers, Fritz Springmeir, Leo Felton, Erica Chase,  Steve Anderson, Irving David Rubin, Earl Leslie Krugel, Michael Edward Smith, David Burgert, Charles Barefoot, Robert J.

Of course, two caveats – this is only since 1995, and none of them were "True Conservatives".

Why? It's an established fact that Conservatives value life but liberals do not.

House panel: No administration wrongdoing in Benghazi attack
SFGate ^ | 3:53 pm, Friday, August 1, 2014 | Carolyn Lockhead

Posted on ‎8‎/‎2‎/‎2014‎ ‎9‎:‎02‎:‎09‎ ‎AM by Olog-hai

The House Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans, has concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration in the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, said Rep. Mike Thompson of St. Helena, the second-ranking Democrat on the committee.

The panel voted Thursday to declassify the report, the result of two years of investigation by the committee. U.S. intelligence agencies will have to approve making the report public.

Thompson said the report “confirms that no one was deliberately misled, no military assets were withheld and no stand-down order (to U.S. forces) was given.” …

We know the administration lied about the cause of the attack.
We know military assets were withheld.
We know military assets were told not to go in.

Every person on that committee is a Republican, yet, they lied.

Birth Control Isn’t Just For Sluts

Plenty of women who’ve never had sex are on it, because of things like this: Courtney Everette has been on birth control since she was 17. Did it help prevent unwanted pregnancies? Probably. But the reason this Chicago mom has maintained a regimen of estrogen-based hormonal contraceptives for nearly 20 years has more to do with a desire to walk upright without doubling over in pain – and a hope to preserve her fertility. Everette has endometriosis, a painful condition in which the uterus essentially grows out of bounds, invading spaces of the body where it doesn’t belong, causing severe … Continue reading Birth Control Isn’t Just For Sluts

Shocker: Circulation revenues were up for the year (1.1 percent) but down for the fourth quarter (-1.6 percent) compared to the same period in 2012. CEO Gracia Martore explained in a conference call to analysts that the company has now “cycled through” the lucrative introduction of paywalls together with bundled print + digital subscriptions at its 80 community newspapers. This raises the concern that capturing revenue from new digital subscribers and pairing “all access” print/digital bundles with a big price increase could be a one-time revenue event.

I'm READY!! OBUMMER shows up on my doorstep to take my guns and force me to gay-marry my dog, I'm not going down without a fight!!  And you, my Freeper friend, will lead the armed resistance and bloody fighting!!

What did you say your name was again?

The Internet Killed Tom Cruise, Too

tommyfd

Excuses, excuses: Cruise never jumps on a couch. It is Oprah who seeds the idea that he should stand on it. She thanks Cruise for attending her recent Legends Ball, where she honored Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King. “I turned and looked at one point and you were standing in the chair going, ‘Yes! Yes!’ ” she gushes to Cruise. “I loved that enthusiasm.” Minutes later, he stands on the couch for a second, and after she and the audience cheer that, he does it again. When she continues pressing about if he wants to marry Holmes, he exhales, “I’m … Continue reading The Internet Killed Tom Cruise, Too

The Internet Causes Idiots

tommyfd

This was all over Facebook today, mostly approvingly, and these are the parts that made me ragey: The trends are not encouraging. In 1978, 42 per cent of Americans reported that they had read 11 or more books in the past year. In 2014, just 28 per cent can say the same, while 23 per cent proudly admit to not having read even one, up from eight per cent in 1978. Newspaper and magazine circulation continues to decline sharply, as does viewership for cable news. The three big network supper-hour shows drew a combined average audience of 22.6 million in … Continue reading The Internet Causes Idiots

What’s Hard to Explain to Children

tommyfd

There has to be a better way to handle this: When Amanda Keown received a call at work from her son, a junior at Dowagiac Union High School in Dowagiac, MI, telling her that he had not received his hot lunch because of an outstanding balance of $4.95 she took matters into her own hands. Keown not only fixed her son’s lunch balance, but every single outstanding balance in the school to ensure that no other child is forced to go hungry because of an atrocious school action. Her son, Dominic Gant, offered to pay $2 of the $2.45 tab … Continue reading What’s Hard to Explain to Children

In Case You Were Wondering, Chicago, Jay Mariotti is Still a Total Asshole

tommyfd

Solipsistic piehole Jay Mariotti, who used to disgrace Chicago with his opinions about sports, says that the rape accusations against Darren Sharper are, in fact, all about Jay Mariotti: Sharper, a five-time All-Pro who is accused of drugging women in most of the alleged rapes, is represented by Leonard Levine. He is best known as a criminal defense attorney, recalling his successful 2006 defense of Mark Sanchez when the current New York Jets quarterback was accused of sexual assault as a USC student-athlete. But curiously enough, in August 2010, Levine chose to reverse roles and represent a troubled plantiff who’d … Continue reading In Case You Were Wondering, Chicago, Jay Mariotti is Still a Total Asshole

Money for Journalism, Part the Infinity

tommyfd

Ugh, Sun-Times management, suck harder: Among the layoffs targeted for end of this week are five positions covered by the Guild, including one columnist/critic and two editorial assistants at the Sun-Times, and one deputy editor and one editorial assistant at the Post-Tribune. Union leadership was notified of the planned layoffs last Friday, according to Guild executive director Craig Rosenbaum, although none of the affected employees was identified by name. In addition, according to company sources, about a dozen other jobs among non-union personnel in editing and production positions at the Sun-Times, the Post-Tribune and the SouthtownStar are being cut. Those … Continue reading Money for Journalism, Part the Infinity
