Former Chief U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter Nabbed in Teen Sex Sting
Former chief United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter was arrested in a Pennsylvania sex sting in November on a litany of charges involving a lewd Internet conversation with a person he thought was a 15-year-old girl.
Ritter, 48, allegedly masturbated in front of a Web camera while he was engaged in conversation in an Internet chat room with an undercover cop posing as the teenage girl.
I won’t be posting any of the rest of the article. Needless to say, it gets pretty graphic. I have to ask….what is it with the UN and pervs?
They Win, We Lose
Why is it that only approximately 15% of the working population are members of unions, the remaining 85% are going to get screwed royally. Isn’t there a name for that? And don’t tell me it’s Democracy, because nothing could be further from the truth. We were not founded as a democracy, we were founded as a Republic. I’d very much like to see a return to our foundations, and get these power hungry, controlling sons of b*tches OUT of our lives!
Behind Closed Doors, Unions Win, You Lose
The Foundry
Yesterday, President Barack Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and nine other lawmakers met face-to-face for seven hours to resolve differences between the House and Senate health care bills. At the same time these talks were going on, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern and United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger met with other Obama administration officials in a separate room in the White House. This all comes after these same labor leaders met personally with Speaker Pelosi yesterday, and after they met face-to-face with President Obama in the White House on Monday. Despite then-candidate Barack Obama’s explicit promises to the American people, absolutely none of these meetings were open to the public or televised on C-SPAN. In fact, Politico reports: “Those involved in the talks sought to keep details of their progress under wraps.”
And just what deals were Big Labor, the leftist majorities in Congress and the Obama administration making behind closed doors? How to pay for President Obama’s likely $1 trillion health care plan without raising taxes on one of the President’s most loyal constituencies: labor unions. Specifically, Big Labor reportedly has struck a deal with health care negotiators to exempt union members from the 40% excise tax on high-priced health insurance premiums. By some estimates, the tax would hit one in four union members. Now Big Labor will get all of the big government health care spending they always wanted, but they will not have to pay for it.
Ann on Ol’ Runnin’ Reid’s Problem
Harry Reid’s Negro Problem
by Ann Coulter
The recently released book Game Change reports that Sen. Harry Reid said America would vote for Barack Obama because he was a “light-skinned” African-American “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
The book also says Bill Clinton called Sen. Ted Kennedy to ask for his endorsement of Hillary over Obama, saying of Obama: “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”
And we already knew that Obama’s own vice president, Joe Biden, called Obama “articulate” and “clean” during the campaign. (So you can see why Biden got the vice presidential nod over Reid.)

Look To The Stars
The New Phoenix Rises
by J. D. Longstreet
There was a time in America, not so long ago, when we had white people, black people, brown people, yellow people, etc. We had men and women. We had healthy people and we had sick people and we had handicapped people.
We had smart people and we had dumb people. We had retarded people and we had normal people.
We had queers and homosexuals and but we had no gay and lesbian people.
We had truth and we had the lie.
We had people who loved America and people who hated America. There was no “in-between”.
We had Republicans and Democrats and no Independents. We had conservatives and liberals. We did not have moderates.
Well, what happened? Answer: World War Two!

Newsweek’s Fineman: GOP Has ‘Terrible Record’ on Race; ‘Pretty Much Everybody’ Favors Dems
If you really want to get into a discussion of race relations and racial sensitivity, then the Republicans are going to lose. They don’t want to fight the battles politically here in Washington over the next few weeks or whenever on that basis, because they’re going to lose. They have a terrible record. Barack Obama got 96 percent of the African-American vote 2008. I was at the Republican convention in St. Paul. There were precious few African-Americans there, certainly not very visible. It’s not a big part of the Republican agenda. And fair-minded people are going to look at it and say, “Well, if you really want to have this discussion, well, then, the Republicans are going to lose whatever Harry Reid might have said to the guys who wrote that book.”
Read the rest here.
This clown is suppose to be a journalist? Really? Wow. How ignorant do you have to be not to look at facts before spewing your left wing BULLSH*T?
The Democrats are the most racist bunch of hacks I’ve ever seen in my life. Obviously, they don’t believe a black American is capable of achieving success on merit, so they must provide taxpayer funds to ‘make sure there is a level playing field’. They have made sure that generations of black Americans are dependent on the government for their sustenance. They have created a voter block that believes the government is suppose to take care of them, so the gimme mentality prevails.
On the other side of the issue, we have another group of people who don’t look at the color of a person’s skin, and automatically thinks they can’t succeed on their own. This group of people looks past color and takes in the character of an individual. When you provide the tools for success, and fail to use them, who’s failure is it? If you work hard to succeed, no matter your background, heritage, or race, then odds are, you will succeed. Will you have mansions, big cars, etc.? Well, if that’s what you call succeeding, then you have my sympathy. What a sad way to base success. If you provide for your family, have those things you need, instead of concentrating on what you want, you will always be a success.
“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.”
Since public schools have stop teaching accurate history, lowered the bar, and generally indoctrinate to the Dem/lib/socialist way of thinking, or lack there of, it’s not really surprising when you read such an ignorant statement as that spewed by Fineman.
Are there racists in the GOP? Probably, even though I’ve never met any. I have, however, met plenty of Democrat racists. I did grow up in the South, after all.

Speaker Pelosi’s Job-Killing Agenda
The Foundry
After a three-week holiday break, the House of Representatives returned to session yesterday, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) marked the occasion with an op-ed detailing her “record of achievement” and outlining her agenda for the rest of the 111th Congress. Pelosi writes: “At the halfway mark in this Congress, our priorities are clear: strengthening the security of the American people and building a new economy that offers our families lasting prosperity.” But the 111th Congress is not the first Congress Speaker Pelosi has presided over. When Pelosi was first handed the gavel in January 2007, the U.S. economy employed 137.3 million people and our nation’s unemployment rate stood at 4.6%. According to the Labor Department’s most recent report, the U.S. economy has shed 6.3 million jobs since then, and 10% of our workforce is now unemployed.
What Games Will They Play?
Rep. Frank lashes out over accusations that Mass. Dems would stall a Brown certification
House members returned from their recess over the holidays today, and health care legislation was the number issue on the agenda. The Senate race in Massachusetts, though, could change the dynamics of the debate, should GOP State Senator Scott Brown prevail next week. The Democrats risk losing their 60-seat filibuster proof majority with a Brown win.
Uh….wait a minute. You mean after the attempted murder of numerous human beings, creating a nation of slaves is top on the list of priorities? Does anyone else see a major problem here?
However, while the special election for the Massachusetts Senate seat previously held by Ted Kennedy has yet to be decided, the Brown campaign has already charged that Massachusetts Democrats will find a way to keep Mr. Brown from being certified, should he win, before the final vote on health care legislation happens in the Senate. Fox News spoke to Mr. Brown about his concern on this issue.:
“When I heard … the machine, not only locally but nationally, is trying to manipulate the process and make sure that if I’m elected, a duly elected senator, I can’t be seated in an effort to vote on this important piece of national legislation, it made me almost sick to my stomach,” Brown said.
“Everything I’ve heard right now I don’t like very much,” said Massachusetts Senate Minority Leader Richard Tisei, noting the secretary is signaling he will “drag his feet”
Odd. I was thinking the same thing. While what’s his face from NY23 was sworn in by the House before he had even been certified by the state election board, it wouldn’t surprise me one smattering that the Senate will do all it can to prevent Brown from taking ‘the people’s seat’ should he be victorious.
“That is the stupidest thing I’ve been asked in a long time. That is insane, the suggestion could only come from a demented right wing source,” erupted Representative Barney Frank (D – MA), when asked by The Washington Times about what he thought regarding assertions that Massachusetts Democrats would stall the certification process should Mr. Brown win. “There isn’t the slightest possibility of it happening—a way of doing it. That is conspiracy theory at its most contemptible.”
Well then, Bunny, you haven’t been paying attention to your own party’s actions in recent months, have you. To misquote Shakespeare, “methinks thou dost protest too much“. Although, in your case, it’s possible to use the actual quote: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks…“. (Hamlet, in case you were wondering.)
The Boston Herald reported that, according to a source, Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin’s office wants to certify the race on Feb. 20. A spokesman for Mr. Galvin’s office explained that local election districts have to wait at least 10 days before they submit their returns, so military and overseas ballots can be tallied as well. 15 days is the maximum amount of time to submit the returns to the secretary’s office, before they go to governor’s office.
Even though the will of the people has been thwarted at every turn, Congress is working very hard to shove this piece of crap down our throats. If dragging feet is the only way they can retain 60, then that is what they will do. Citizens from across the country should let the powers that be know, WE ARE KEEPING A VERY CLOSE EYE ON YOU! They should also be aware, we know that union members are being bussed in and PAID to stand around in ‘support’ of Coakley.
One of the union workers actually turned around and said “I’m paid to be here, but I’m voting for Scott Brown. I just need the money, but don’t tell anyone.”
You can read more about the behavior of some of the union thugs, and some pre-debate commentary from Fleming & Hayes.

Police look for man in home invasion
Jackson police are searching for a man who committed a home invasion robbery Monday morning.
Lt. Rick Holt said a man went into an Arlington Avenue home around 9:30 a.m. with a hunting knife and forced a resident to give him his money before running away.
The robber was described as a black man, 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds, who had a light complexion. He wore a dark-colored knit cap, gloves and a gray and blue sweater.
He is in his late teens or early 20s and had a gap between two of his front teeth, according to a news release.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to contact the Violent Crimes Unit at the Jackson Police Department at 425-8400 or Crime Stoppers at 424-8477.
If anyone has any information, please, PLEASE, contact the police. It’s bad enough when it happens to people you’ve never met, but when it happens to someone you know, it doubly sucks!

“After America, there is No Place else to go!”
by J.D. Longstreet
Recently, a friend sent me an article by Ms. Kitty Werthmann, which you will find below. As soon as I read it, I knew THIS was one I HAD to share with those of you who may not have seen it. Ms. Werthmann has issued a warning to all Americans based on personal experience. Americans would do well to heed her warning, especially with the Mid-Term Elections coming up in November.
Please take the few precious minutes necessary to read the article below. Then think about the wisdom this lady imparts by sharing the story of her days in the grip of a government flexing it’s totalitarian muscles. It is a grim reminder of the damage a bad mistake at the polls can do the people of a democratic country… such as the United States.
Our thanks to Ms. Werthmann for sharing her true, and very frightening, story with us.

Wisconsin Weasel
Senator Russ Feingold (or, as I always called him, smarmy little bastard) apparently is either not looking at the handwriting on the wall, or absolutely refuses to even acknowledge it. Either way, he may be in for an extreme shock the next time he comes up for re-election.
