Quotes of the day
posted at 10:30 pm on September 10, 2009 by Allahpundit
“But encouraging responsible civic behavior was not the mission of the hyperventilating liberals this August. Instead, they aimed to impose a social cost and scrutiny on conservatives who protest that they had never previously imposed on protesters closer to their own political persuasion. The high-profile throttling of people like Bert Stead and Bob MacGuffie, who merely spoke out or organized friends to do the same, was meant to send a message. Free-market grandmas around the country were meant to look at Stead and MacGuffie and wonder if they wanted to turn themselves into piñatas for the MSNBC hosts or should keep quiet instead. Pro-life moms attending town hall meetings, perhaps for the first time in their lives, were meant to recoil at the label of ‘racist’ or ‘terrorist’ and wonder whether staying at home with the kids might be a better course of action…
Indeed, judging by the tea party protests of last spring, the health care protests of August, and protests planned for September and beyond, with enthusiasm seemingly uncurbed, the wrath of Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews and the ‘un-American’ insults of Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, and their caucus are being laughed off.”
***
“One veteran GOP official puts it bluntly: ‘The image of a bunch of white guys booing an African-American president is about as bad as it gets.’…
Longtime GOP strategist John Weaver said the Wilson incident isn’t a ‘huge deal’ by itself, but ‘taken together with what’s happened over the last eight years, it’s symptomatic of what our problem is.’
‘We do have structural, demographic issues we’re not addressing,’ he said. ‘But we also have tone problems. We could have the best policy ideas in the world, but we can’t get anybody to buy them if our salespeople are angry. Nobody wants to hang out with a bunch of cranks.’”
***
“Last night was uncomfortable, especially how about if you’re a parent and you had your children in school this week, the president’s speech to the kids, just as I said, it was to set up last night’s speech. We’re being told and kids are being told to look up to this man. It was an awful speech. He was petulant; he was childish; he was a community organizer and agitator; he lied; he was divisive; he attacked me; he attacked Sarah Palin; he attacked conservative Republicans in Congress who dare to challenge government-run health care. He continued to attack tens of millions of Americans who spent the summer attending town hall meetings. It was crude. It was disgusting. The most crude and disgusting performance by any president I have seen.”

Because it’s all about power with them. You can’t have power without someone to control. Conservatives don’t troll like libtards do because we don’t have an overwhelming need to impose ourselves on them.
They are statists. And I don’t want to live with them.

Anybody following AP’s tweets? He’s reliving 911 from his perspective. Pretty interesting.

The Race Card is the most rapid-fire all purpose psy-ops weapon of mass deception ever conceived by man. It can be fired by even the otherwise untrainable and, in fact, is especially suited for repeated use by them. It has no reason. It has little rhyme. It has no expiration date. It doesn’t even appear to have a half life.There are those who theorize that It may continue to exist indefinitely in some form even after time itself has come to an end.

Charles of LGF fame is having a highly entertaining meltdown on his latest thread about Robert Spencer. It seems the last few days of criticism upon him have been a part of a coordinated attack. That’s how he interprets Powerline delinking him. He is also wondering how long before Hot Air and Michelle Malkin also delink him. As we all are.
Oh yeah, Charles also thinks that Congressman Joe Wilson yelling “you lie” was part of a insurance company conspricy, seriously.
Kalapana on September 10, 2009 at 11:33 PM
Exactly this state of affairs has been a long time coming by the time Wickard was decided FDR had stacked the court because the court had been systematically dismantling the New Deal in decision after decision up until that point.
Interesting fact, if its right…we’re hovering at around 17% unemployment right now….

I have an elderly friend whose father was a small farmer in Nebraska at that time. She said the Donks ruined her father’s farm and they never voted Democrat since.

Charles should be delinked. He’s crossed the event horizon and he ain’t never coming back.

Rush gets it!
Folks, we are in a serious struggle to save our country and Joe Wilson voiced what millions of Americans have been saying about this man, Barack Obama, for months. And if we’re going to start censuring our own people on our team who are willing to try, then maybe we need new people in the game. I was ecstatic when I heard that last night. This is serious. This is not normal, everyday politics

Amen. Got a
surveydonation request from the RNC the other day. It said all the right things, but in the end, knowing that any money sent would just be wasted by being used to pay RINOs like Mr. Weaver led me to fill out the survey and return it with a short note in the donation box telling them that when I saw evidence of their fortitude and true commitment to conservative principles, I would donate to the RNC. Until then, I will donate to conservative local candidates and work to get them elected.Please, please, someone in AZ with a pair, mount a primary challenge to John McCain. Don’t make me vote libertarian.

I was ready to delink that lunatic after he tried to make the utterly leftist kook James Von Brun out to be a “typical conservative.”
He spends all day trying to link religion with crimes, but when a dyed-in-the-wool evolutionist starts shooting “less-evolved” races in a holocaust museum, whoops you’re banned.

It was as if the Won had been in a coma all summer, or he assumed the rest of us had been in one.
He needs a psychologist, badly. Listening to Rahm and Axel will destroy him. Don’t tell him, though.
Schadenfreude on September 10, 2009 at 11:48 PM
It looks like Charles has really jumped the shark now. I realized something was up about 8 months ago and was more or less “encouraged” to not return.Glad for it now. Regarding 9/11, I am saddened that it seems to be forgotten. I personally will never forget, nor will my adult children. Tomorrow, I will say a prayer for all those who lost their lives on that horrible day, and for their families who will never see them again. Don’t think I will make it a “volunteer” for green America day. Sorry Obama, but you will never keep me from remembering the real September 11.

Bishop on September 10, 2009 at 11:49 PM
Absolutely. In terms of what that decision meant to individual liberty, it was as bad as, if not worse than, the Dred Scott decision. Because through this decision, taken to its logical conclusion, there is NO act that an individual can engage in that does not impact interstate commerce and is therefore impacting interstate commerce. Think about that, nothing you do is without impact and therefore subject to government intervention and regulation.
Actually, I thought you were going to point to the adoption of the Income Tax Amendment, an equivalently bad decision. The founders knew what they were doing by preventing the federal government from being able to tax individual citizens of the states. Given that ability, the federal government can exercise complete control by starving the states of funding and controlling individual behavior by regulating tax codes.

“One veteran GOP official puts it bluntly: ‘The image of a bunch of white guys booing an African-American president is about as bad as it gets.’…
All I need to see is the first 4 words of that passage and I know the rest is BS. What is bad as it gets is sitting around being polite while the libs destroy whats left of our nation. The libs will trash minorities, women anyone who doesn’t toe their line. Why in the hell should we worry about being politically correct? Nobody kissed more ass to minorities than McCain, what did it get him? Nothing.

I used to go into the towers many times a week.
I was at the Borders bookstore in the North Tower 5 days before, where I bought the book “Killing Pablo” by Mark Bowden. The “E” train stopped right underneath that Borders, there was a Sbarro’s as you came up from the station into the shopping level. I would always grab a couple of slices all the time too.
Interestingly, I had interviewed at the small investment bank, Raymond James (in the North Tower) about 2 years before but got turned down and I went to work for JPMorgan.

After drinking a potion of Saul Alinsky’s, Jeremiah Wright’s, Rahm Emanuel’s, David Axelrod’s and his own creation, Barack is transformed into the cruel, remorseless, pathological, pyromaniac Herr Hussein, representing the hidden side of Obama’s dual nature brought to the fore. Barack has many friends and has a pleasing personality, but as Herr Hussein he becomes more and more dictatorial, more and more devious, encourages violence and becomes ever more fascist like as time goes by as Herr Hussein grows in dominance. After taking this potion repetitively, he will no longer need to rely upon it to unleash his inner fascist demons.

TMK on September 11, 2009 at 12:11 AM
No, this line of reasoning goes in the wrong direction. You want to make inroads in the black/hispanic/asian/whatever community? You need to get low level people working in those communities. You need to have your eye on the long ball (20+ years out). You need to listen to their concerns, postulate conservative solutions to urban problems and then help them achieve those solutions if possible through advice, counseling and infrastructure. Get in the churches and the communities. What not to do is to be afraid of a Congressman calling a liar a liar, or to otherwise devise methods of pandering. Offering genuine conservative solutions is not pandering.
Whats the problem? Wilson’s outburst reminds the USA of the Bush years? I’m not following.
Now is not the time to address tone. Right now the GOP is punching above its weight class; it doesn’t have the votes to actually do anything. What the GOP needs to do is to generate raw emotion in the public sphere to hopefully scare enough democrats to vote down healthcare. Once the healthcare battle is over, the GOP will need to shift its tone, to the extent that it starts to offer actual conservative solutions to problems (hint: start with the economy). For right now, its good to emulate the feelings of the majority of americans. That feeling is anger.

Don’t anyone look at me! I don’t do miracles! Someone should probably send for an exorcist. It may be his only chance and regaining some sanity.
Sigmund on September 11, 2009 at 12:13 AM
My take on Charles Johnson is that after the election of Obama he didn’t have to pretend to be a Conservative any more. He thought he was hooking his wagon up to a “star”. Unfortunately it looks like his “star” has gone super-nova so he is freaking out. His claim to fame was helping to expose the National Guard fraud papers regarding Bush. That was not so much that he was a Conservative as that he was a computer geek.He got a lot of followers with that and sort of stringed them along until it no longer looked like he could gain anything with it. Just my take for what it’s worth.
sandee on September 11, 2009 at 12:17 AM
A conservative, Charles? There’s nothing conservative about you. You’re a liberal hack who’s so utterly insecure about yourself that you ban anyone on a whim who dares criticize you or your agenda, regardless of how small or insignificant that criticism may be. You’re a narcissistic fascist cult leader who is horribly out of touch with anything even resembling reality. People aren’t out to get you, Charles. They just want to stay as far away from you as possible. Because you’re a flaming nutjob.
Enjoy obscurity, Charles, because that’s your future.
2Brave2Bscared on September 11, 2009 at 12:17 AM
Obama’s popularity is 50/50, and the Republicans worried about “tone issues”? I don’t blame people if they are angry. The average working person isn’t turned off by people expressing anger. They sympathize with it.

To all talking about a split in the US; I don’t want that. If the statists want to live in a nanny state, let THEM pack up their fortunes and leave for their perceived greener pastures. I’m sure that France, Great Britain, Italy, or any of a host of those other more “enlightened” and “progressive” states would love to have them (and their fortunes). Why should we subdivide the USA for these clowns when there are plenty of places that practice their brand of statism already?

Charles Johnson is an emotional six-year-old with extraordinary powers to control the blog where he rules by simply wishing away people and things that anger or confound him. Charles has the mind and imagination of a typical lunatic. The people at LGF have to look like lizards all the time, think lizard thoughts, and say lizard things, because that’s what Charles commands and, if they disobey, he can wish them into a cornfield from whence they are never to be seen or heard from again. What few adults remain try nervously to think like lizards and tell Charles that he’s a good boy, hoping that Charles’s terrible power won’t be turned upon themselves.

I’m sure Memogate got him a lot of new bloggers, but I was there long before that. There was a day when he tracked the every move of Islamic governments and groups, and it was great. But then he snapped, and became an anti-Christ, anti-conservative dingleberry.
There probably hasn’t been a report on Islamic terror in years, but I’ll bet there has been hundreds of posts about white supremacists infiltraiting the GOP or Dutch politics, or some such nonsense.

A few more my observations of 9/11.
I remember about 5 days after the attacks I first noticed a layer of yellowish dust caked to the window sills of my apartment and the cars and taxis the streets outside of downtown.
I also remember being on Wall Street about 3 weeks later and there was still paper everywhere, so much paper, and white dust coated everything, there was a heavy smell of smoke and a the pungent smell of roasted flesh like nasty BBQ…it was bad.
I also remember the faces and clothes of the “rescuers” that worked the site for months afterwards, extremely dirty and long ashen stares, very dark.

d1carter on September 10, 2009 at 11:38 PM, that vid is Truther stuff. The woman on it is heard saying it’s a military plane. Plus, the links below the vid are for Loose Change and other 9/11 conspiracy nut stuff. Worse yet, the focus on the vid is not so much the Twin Towers, but the emotions of the people doing the recording. The camera holder misses important stuff but we get to share in all her ‘Oh my G-d’. There are other better focused vids out there.
For this nation, for those who were murdered on 9/11, for the loved ones who suffer, for the military lives lost and the personnel injured, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, give comfort and have mercy.
For us who still hold anger in our hearts, for those who grieve, for those who mourn, Lord, give comfort and have mercy.
For the present government who ignore an act of war against us, who treat 9/11 Memoriam as a day for community service, and by so doing deny us our right to engage in a just war. Lord, have mercy; grant that they may see reason.
For those who perpetrated this act of war, Lord, grant that they may receive their just reward. For those who supported them materially and spiritually, Lord, I pray for their conversion to Christ Jesus, that they may repent at the foot of Your cross and confess their sins. Lord, have mercy and draw them to you.
Amen.

Mike Honcho on September 11, 2009 at 12:34 AM
TMK, you’re right about Charles Johnson. When he left off looking at what the Islamofascists were doing and began demonizing Christians, I stopped reading his blog. As a Christian, I don’t mind being criticized; it goes with the territory. However, LGF began to reveal a visceral hatred of Christians; at that point, the welcome mat began to sport an upside-down cross. Charles was basically telling us that we MUST believe in the words of Darwin but not in the Word of God. Goodbye, Charles.
SilentWatcher on September 11, 2009 at 12:36 AM

Amazing stuff on the twitter.

Not only must they think lizard thoughts, they must not ever, never ever, post to any other blog that Charles has deemed “double-plus ungood” for doing so will lead to their banishment to the cornfield. Same if they use a different name but somehow reveal that they have an ID on his site.
Very unhealthy.
A good number of ex-LGF’ers are hanging out at lgf2
For those not familiar and thinking that some of us are just being bad sports, Chuckie has banned over 1000 people for expressing “bad thoughts” and thus IBA’s (Insidious Bad Apples). Some of these bannings have occurred because people took offense to Chuckie’s attacks on Christians, others because they have disagreed with some of Chuckie’s political opinions, and a few, simply because they have been accused of posting to other blogs. The latter is somewhat ironic, smacks of the Catholic Inquisition and list of banned books — very strange for someone who professes to be so anti-religious because of the intolerance of the religious.

Quite a few people get banned for just dinging.
That’s some serious psychosis right there.
TMK on September 11, 2009 at 12:41 AM
Charles isn’t, and has never been a conservative. He’s a hawkish liberal. He, like most other Americans, was stunned into awareness by 9/11. After a while, the gloss wore off, and he went back to the same 90′s mentality he’d straddled into the new millennium. He’s not alone, either. There are plenty like him, only most of them have long since started adopting the term “islamophobia”. Charles only has maintained his perspective towards Islam solely out of hatred of all religion.
Haven’t read his site in ages. When I started hearing that he was banning anyone who disagreed with him, it wasn’t a surprise. I posted there a few times, and found that any dissent was swooped down upon by the lizard people, or whatever moniker they’ve adopted for their cult. A waste of time.
MadisonConservative on September 11, 2009 at 12:43 AM
No. Staying “acceptable” at LGF requires daily conscious focus on and adherence to the LGF party line, as so established by Charles himself. Otherwise if you think for yourself at all, you’re guaranteed banishment.

Thanks very much for that info. I’m embarrassed to say that I was completely ignorant of that despite my long interest and education in such areas.
I’ll betcha that that was the basis of one of the stupid laws that Ayn Rand ‘documented’ in Atlas Shrugged.

LOL…the Arlen Specter of the blogosphere.

You’re right, I forgot to include that in the list. I’m not sure what got me banned — down-dinging his anti-creationist threads or making the statement on one of them that “I was checking every couple weeks to see if the threads on non-causal spontaneous generation had subsided and that I’d be back in a couple weeks to check again”
I’m sure that if he commented on that, it was something snarky on the order of “don’t bother to check, you won’t be able to get back in” I don’t know, I didn’t go back to check after finding out I was blocked and since you can’t search his site unless you have an ID, it wasn’t worth my time to wade through the threads to look.

I am new to right-blogs, but I don’t quite get all the angst. The far-left has nuts galore, too.
It’s a function of our current society, frankly. We all know “one” in RL. They write their congressmen like they are BFs.
What’s the big deal over this one outburst? From what I read about the guy, he’s known for being a loose cannon.

I so love this picture of Dear Leader that I’m gonna make it my desktop background.
I figure he’s auditioning to replace Eddie Murphey in Shrek: Michelle, part 1, opening at a cinema near you Spring 2013. Advanced screenings by invitation Only, (unless you show your ACORN card at the door), in that case you can choose your own seat either occupied or vacant.

As for bannings? I think all the blogs went nuts last year. A lot of them banned a lot of people.
Consider it a badge of honor. *haha

Self-censorship is a really, really stupid idea.

LGF has fallen faster and harder than any blog I remember.
They are the Mark McGwire of conservative blogs — top of the world a little while ago, now a disgraced former shell of themselves unwilling to admit fault.

Thanks for the tip and link. That’s a different side of AP. Poetic. A chilling reminder of the horror of that day.
9-11…..oh, how I hate that day and all that happened. Hate it.

I’ve only clicked on the blog, never really posted. Is this a blog dedicated to moderate Republicans?
AnninCA on September 11, 2009 at 1:05 AM
It is now. I think you would fit in great over there!

Yes He should, if he does, he’ll kill me for posting the link. :)
abinitioadinfinitum on September 11, 2009 at 1:09 AM
I’ll check it out. Is this becoming some kind of birther blog?
:)

ann, i don’t think much of you, but i can’t in good conscience recommend lgf to ANYONE anymore — seriously …

You know, I think the charge of racism officially jumped the shark when Gates, a Harvard professor, screamed “This is what happens to black men in America.”
So Gates, what does happen to black men in America? You are a Harvard Professor, one of the most respected job in the country. You are being arrested by a cop trying to protect your property, while a black cop stands nearby. Was the black cop his partner?
Then our black president has the audacity to suggest the cop acted stupidly, implying that perhaps there was some racism involved. Right, the most powerful man in the country is black and yet racism is everywhere…
I’m sorry, as soon as I hear the word racism I assume the speaker is a moron. Unless we are talking about the KKK, Nazis, or Rev Wright racism is a baseless charge.
Now the GOP is attributing criticism of Obama to racism? Kick this guy to the curb. Whoever said this shouldn’t be an official of anything beyond his underpants drawer.

OK. I’ll just read the links when they post a good article, then.
I like you guys better than you like me. *haha

Take your “tone problems” and hide ‘em deep. We don’t need you anymore.

Oh, he’s the left version of Wilson. That’s all. He’s a bit of a loose cannon, obviously.
AnninCA on September 11, 2009 at 1:14 AM
Well, duh. I’m a heartless Nazi brownshirt racist killbot.
TMK on September 11, 2009 at 1:15 AM
It’s more a blog for God-hating left-liberals who are a kinda sorta against what they call “Islamo-fascism.”
