Best Reactions to the Ryan Pick

• CNN's Candy Crowley -- if that is her real name -- claims some Republicans are saying picking Ryan is "some sort of ticket death wish."

To whom is she referring? Best I can figure, it's sometimes-Democrat, sometimes-Republican Donald "Attention Whore" Trump whose impact on the race will be exactly... nil. Trump is the P.T. Barnum of politics and for CNN to treat his comments with a scintilla of seriousness is representative of the horrific ratings disaster that is the CNN network.

• Oh, and some twit you've never heard of -- Ryan Lizza at The New Yorker -- says that Ryan is (wait for it...) light on experience? As opposed to President Training Wheels, the All-Cook-County Community Organizer? Or Vice President Hair-Plugs-For-Men, who likewise has spent his entire career on the public dole? HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA AHA AHHAHAHAHHAHAHA AHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA HA AH AHHA HAHAH AHA HAH AHHAAHHAH!!! OUCH. OWWWW. I think I just wrenched my clavicle.

• The Leftist scumbags on Twitter erupted with their usual death-wishes:

@RobbyReyn: The bad news is Paul Ryan might be vp. The good news is that Paul Ryan is mortal and can die
@NatiRabinowitz: According to his family medical history Paul Ryan will die of a heart attack in 11 years.
@JMFlorio: Paul Ryan is the biggest f***ing toolbag on the planet. He can suffocate and die like he wants everyone who can’t afford insurance
@CarolineVGray: Morbid math pattern suggest Paul Ryan will die of a heart attack at 53. All heart attacks. Great grandfather 59. Grandfather 57. Father 55.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Suffice it to say that the "tolerant Left" is a misnomer of epic proportions.

• The Dissociative Press does its usual water-carrying for Democrats with its pathetic propaganda piece entitled "Romney stumbles in running mate announcement". It informs us in large typeface, that Mitt Romney accidentally introduced Paul Ryan as "the next president of the United States". And it conveniently fails to mention that candidate Obama made precisely the same mistake.

• As for those worried about Florida and seniors? They're a tad smarter than Democrats give them credit for: Ryan's favorability rating is 39-to-25, and an astounding 52-to-29 among... seniors.

I support Romney-Ryan 2012: America's Comeback Team.



What Democrats Believe




Democrats believe that you are legally permitted to break into an empty home if you need a place to stay.

Democrats believe that stealing furniture from someone's home -- if it's in the best interest of your family -- is a legally acceptable practice.

Democrats believe that you are within your rights to crash a rich man's party if you're hungry, because he's got plenty of extra food.

Democrats believe that any person, should they require access to clean facilities like showers, toilets, and towels, must be legally permitted to break into a health club.

And because Internet access is a human right, Democrats believe that those without it are legally allowed to break into office buildings to obtain web access.

I know all this to be true.

Because Democrat politicians believe that millions of foreigners have every right to enter our home -- our sovereign republic -- to use our schools, our health care system, our roads, and our infrastructure. Democrats believe that immigration laws aren't laws at all; for, in fact, they are suing states for enforcing the very immigration laws that Congress passed!

These temporary politicians -- these useless Democrats hacks -- no longer represent the people. They represent illegal aliens, who are trespassing in our country; who are entering our land without any background checks or vetting procedures; who are driving up unemployment among citizens; who often come for free health care services or schooling or more nefarious reasons; who do not understand the history or traditions of this country; and whose presence here will ultimately Balkanize this country in ways no one can possibly foresee.

For Democrats, clinging to political power trumps the Constitution; it trumps the laws it already passed; it trumps the concerns of the citizenry; it trumps every moral and ethical tenet of this country. But their appetite for raw power is so insatiable, and it is so naked and malevolent, that they are willing to sacrifice future generations to retain their white-knuckled death grip on power.

Therefore I urge you, America's citizens, to remember the permanent damage these temporary politicians are doing to this country. I urge you to remember this the first Tuesday in November... and to obliterate the Democrat Party politically -- at every level of government.



I really hate it when...

...someone with a cool car takes up two spots in the garage.

10 Photographs from the Democrat Utopia of North Korea

Behance has an entire gallery of spooky, posed photographs from the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) aka North Korea.

How do you photograph one of the most secretive countries in the world?
For Charlie Crane the answer was simple, photograph what they want you to see. If there is no possibility of getting underneath the surface then the answer was to photograph the surface itself. This series is taken from a larger body of work in Pyongyang, the capital city of North Korea... Although not commonly thought of as a holiday destination all these photographs have been taken at tourist sites throughout the city.











Remember: this is the inevitable endgame for the Democrat Party's incessant, eight-decade drive for ever more centralized, authoritarian government. Their various mandates -- governing energy, health care, retirement, automobile design, shower heads, you name it -- must be enforced through compulsion. That is: they must use force over the individual to compel adherence to their unconstitutional dictates.

That is what the Democrat Party's failed policies must inevitably devolve into: tyranny.

You can see the whole album here.

Shock: Obama toadie, faux Republican, and professional wuss to speak at Democrat National Convention

You may know him as "Jon Huntsman", if that is his real name.


Gee, and he had well over 0.5 percent of the vote in the GOP primary.



Oh, Noes: Mitt Romney Once Ran a Nazi Death Cult!

At least that's the latest claim from President Axelrod's Obama's campaign:

By now everyone has heard that Mitt Romney Hood is a felon, a tax cheat, and an accomplice to murder - but those current truths only scratch the surface of his deviancy.

The Party™ plans to remedy this with a new magazine that will deliver a full spectrum of korrekt information about Romney to the oppressed masses - and much more! That's not to say that the NYT, WaPo, NBC, CBC, ABC, and CNN are not doing a fine job of this already, but an extra $3 contribution to Obama's campaign will not hurt. And this is exactly how much you must pay in order to get the first issue absolutely free!


Inside you will find:

- Drugs-and-sex-crazed GOP convention
- Dependent-of-the-Month centerfold
- Capitalist vampires living on virgin blood
- Cher: Ghost of Republican Sonny Bono is forcing me to have a baby
- Lead story - Mitt Romney's Nazi torture cult: only a woman's screams can make him smile.

In a Single Chart: Why Goldman Sachs, Jon Corzine, and the Rest of Wall Street Will Never Face Prosecution From Democrats

Yes, it's. Just. This. Simple.


Hope and change, baby. Hope and change.



Democrats' Massive Tax Hike on the Middle Class, Conveniently Deferred Until After the Election

It's pretty hilarious that the Obama campaign is wasting money advertising on this august periodical with its usual litany of outrageous lies. This one, for example, is a classic:


What a crock. The actual Obama budget, according to The Washington Post, does anything but reduce the deficit.


As for "slashing taxes on the middle class", that's complete bunk as well. The actual toll from Obamacare alone will hit that segment hardest:


And let's not even discuss the onset of inflation -- from gas to food and everything in between -- thanks to Obama's deficit-spending and attendant money-printing.

Everything this man says is a lie. And if he caught himself telling the truth, he'd tell a lie just to keep his hand in (to paraphrase Harry Truman describing Richard Nixon).



Handicapping the VP race based upon Wikipedia edits

The concept of predicting a VP candidate based upon the volatility of their Wikipedia biographies, as CNN explains, is not new.

In the past, Wikipedia activity has spiked for vice presidential picks the day before an official announcement was made. In 2008, hours before Republican candidate John McCain announced his vice presidential choice, Sarah Palin's Wikipedia page was getting a heavy edit. According to The Washington Post, the then-Alaska governor's page was changed 68 times the day before the announcement. In the 24 hours leading up to Obama's running mate announcement, Joe Biden's page was edited 40 times.

So I decided to take an updated look, heading into the weekend, at activity for "the Big Four" ostensible VP contenders.

Wikipedia modifications to VP contender biographies over the last week:

• Rob Portman: 159 changes.
• Paul Ryan 96 changes
• Marco Rubio 83 changes
• Tim Pawlenty 34 changes

Wikipedia modifications to VP contender biographies over the last day:

• Paul Ryan 38 changes
• Rob Portman: 33 changes.
• Marco Rubio 24 changes
• Tim Pawlenty 11 changes

If recency is any indicator, it looks like Paul Ryan is coming on strong.

I can't imagine Rob Portman -- a pasty, boring white guy, affiliated with the Bush administration and who is largely unknown outside Washington -- as the VP candidate. Sorry, I just can't.

As for Tim Pawlenty: based on the stats, he looks like a non-entity when it comes to VP contender status. Which is as it should be. The guy dropped out of the GOP primary in what seemed to be about four days.

Marco Rubio or Paul Ryan would both make outstanding choices. Charisma. Principles. Brains. All of the things, in other words, lacking in Joe Biden.

QOTD: "In my opinion, none of the psephologists [Nate Silver, Sean Trende, Charlie Cook, Jay Cost, and the others who make a profession of political prognostication] has reflected on the degree to which the administrative entitlements state – envisaged by Woodrow Wilson and the Progressives, instituted by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and expanded by their successors – has entered a crisis, and none of them is sensitive to the manner in which Barack Obama, in his audacity, has unmasked that state’s tyrannical propensities and its bankruptcy. In consequence, none of these psephologists has reflected adequately on the significance of the emergence of the Tea-Party Movement, on the meaning of Scott Brown’s election and the particular context within which he was elected, on the election of Chris Christie as Governor of New Jersey and of Bob McDonnell as Governor of Virginia, and on the political earthquake that took place in November, 2010. That earthquake, which gave the Republicans a strength at the state and local level that they have not enjoyed since 1928, is a harbinger of what we will see this November." --Paul Rahe

Wonderful: Facebook moves into online gambling

I didn't think running an electronic gambling establishment (even for other countries) was legal in the U.S., but what do I know?

Facebook has launched a bingo game that uses real money, only for users over age 18, in the UK. The "Bingo & Slots Friendzy" app has 90 slot machine and bingo games that take real money, not Facebook Credits.

The move could be a money maker for the company as Facebook takes 30% of the revenue. UK-based Gamesys, the app developer, will take the other 70% of revenue. Certainly it seems a positive move given all the negative attention the company has recieved.

In true Facebook fashion, activity on the app will appear in users' timelines, but Facebook's age-gating and geo-location technology will restrict those posts from appearing to underage users and those outside the UK.

Kewl! And maybe the app will automatically update the player's status to read, "I've got a serious gambling problem... please arrange an intervention for me!"



Genius: California Considering Giving Free, Taxpayer-Funded Life Insurance to All State Employees... and Retirees!

What could possibly go wrong with this plan?

Here's how [California's Assembly Bill 2451] would work:

Firefighter Jones or police Officer Smith retires in 2012 at age 53. Twenty-five years later, Smith or Jones die of a heart attack. Although there is a presumption in current law that heart ailments in firefighters and cops are job-related, there had been no evidence of a heart condition for either retiree before the fatal attack. Neither Jones nor Smith filed workers' compensation claims. Neither retired on disability. Their deaths occurred well beyond the 4 1/2-years-after-injury statute of limitations that governs job-related death benefit eligibility today.

Nonetheless, under this bill their survivors could claim a death benefit worth a quarter of a million dollars at minimum.

This benefit would cover not just current firefighters, police officers, prison guards and other public safety workers but retirees as well. So, on the day AB 2451 becomes law, when any ex-firefighter dies of a heart attack at age 80 or cancer at age 90, his widow or children, or other relatives -- the list of eligible survivors is extensive -- becomes eligible for a benefit typically valued at between $250,000 and $300,000...

...This benefit would cover not just current firefighters, police officers, prison guards and other public safety workers but retirees as well. So, on the day AB 2451 becomes law, when any ex-firefighter dies of a heart attack at age 80 or cancer at age 90, his widow or children, or other relatives -- the list of eligible survivors is extensive -- becomes eligible for a benefit typically valued at between $250,000 and $300,000.

It's almost as if California's Democrat leaders are all racing each other to see who can bankrupt the state first.

Joke o' the Day: The Amish Farmer

Tom sends us today's winner.

Subject: Amish Farmer


An Amish farmer walking, notices a man drinking from his pond, with his hand.

The Amish man shouts: "Trink das wasser nicht. Die kuhen haben dahin gesheissen."

Which means: "Don't drink the water, the cows have pooped in it."


The man shouts back: "I'm from Chicago and just down here campaigning for Obama, I can't understand you. Please speak in English."

The Amish man says: "Use two hands, you'll get more."

Mexico's 9/11: Cartel Kingpin Says 3,000 Have Died As an Intentional Result of Operation Fast and Furious

We already knew that at least 300 Mexican nationals -- and two U.S. law enforcement officers -- were killed as a result of Eric Holder's insane gun-walking project known as Operation Fast and Furious. But a Mexican drug cartel chieftain says the real number is much higher:

A high-ranking Mexican drug cartel operative currently in U.S. custody is making startling allegations that the failed federal gun-walking operation known as “Fast and Furious” isn’t what you think it is.

It wasn’t about tracking guns, it was about supplying them — all part of an elaborate agreement between the U.S. government and Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa Cartel to take down rival cartels.

The explosive allegations are being made by Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla, known as the Sinaloa Cartel’s “logistics coordinator.” He was extradited to the Chicago last year to face federal drug charges... Zambada-Niebla is reportedly a close associate of Sinaloa Cartel kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and the son of Ismael “Mayo” Zambada-Garcia, both of which remain fugitives, likely because of the deal made with the DEA, federal court documents allege...

"It is estimated that approximately 3,000 people were killed in Mexico as a result of ‘Operation Fast and Furious,’ including law enforcement officers in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, the headquarters of the Sinaloa cartel. The Department of Justice’s leadership apparently saw this as an ingenious way of combating drug cartel activities.”

I really wonder how many people have to die for vintage media to express outrage at the lawless machinations of the Obama administration. Is it 30,000? 300,000? 3 million? Or 30 million?


They Told Us

They told us that our borders were "as secure as they've ever been".

They told us that taking trillions of dollars from the most productive citizens and giving it to those "who truly needed it" would cure poverty.

They told us that allowing law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons would turn our streets into rivers of blood.

They told us that giving home loans to those who couldn't afford them would make the American dream achievable for all.

They told us that paying into the Social Security "Trust Fund" would guarantee a comfortable retirement for everyone.

They told us that letting teachers unionize in public schools would help inner city students reach for the stars.

They told us that the federal government could run a guaranteed, affordable, and profitable health care program for seniors.

They told us that the new employment paradigm consisted of millions of "green jobs".

They told us that supporting immoral and criminal behavior wouldn't result in the breakdown of the two-parent family.

They told us that spending trillions on Stimulus programs would heal a damaged economy.

They told us that raising taxes on corporations and "the rich" would create more jobs.

They told us that intentionally restricting access to our own sources of energy would reduce dependence on foreign oil.

They told us that spreading unemployment benefits and food stamps far and wide would help the economy.

They told us that, despite other failed government health care programs, they could successfully take over the entire medical system.

They told us that their record-breaking borrowing could never result in a downgrade of the United States' AAA credit rating.

They told us that "the Constitution doesn't matter".

They told us that anyone who opposes their unconstitutional, un-American, reckless and failed policies are racists.

Well, I'm here to tell you:

Everything they told us was a lie.

Everything they told us was wrong.

Intentionally, diabolically, criminally wrong.

And if we don't vote out every Democrat politician -- at every level of government -- in 2012, this beautiful Republic, this magnificent country, this bastion of free enterprise and private property rights, this shining city on a hill... well, it will be finished.

QOTD: "No sudden Arab Spring will transform the Muslim Middle East. Uprisings can change governments but they cannot bring civilization. The Muslim world has access to Western learning, just as it had access to Indian, Roman and Greek learning. It made use of some of those ideas in a slapdash fashion just as it made use of Judaism, Christianity, Socialism and Democracy, in a similar fashion.

A primitive society confronted with an advanced civilization does not become civilized, it adopts some of the habits and facades of civilization in cargo cult fashion, it uses some of its tools, and hybridizes some of its ideas, but all this is done in pursuit of its existing goals. Everything that the Muslim Middle East has taken in from the civilized world has been used to pursue the same goals that it was pursuing a thousand years ago." --Daniel Greenfield

Tonight's Blog Posts Brought to You By the All-New, All-Exciting FannieCrat 3000 Luxury Sedan!

Every road is an on-ramp to fun with the world's only solar- and wind-powered automobile!

All new for 2012, General Ford Cerberus Motors is proud to present The FannieCrat 3000, the first automobile designed by the same members of Congress who brought you Fannie Mae and the housing crisis.


With 24 airbags -- both inside and outside the vehicle -- and an integrated cow- and deer-catcher, this is the most safe and humane car imaginable. And CAFE fuel standards are no problem because this luxury sedan sports three (count 'em, three) windwills and an extra-large solar-panel certain to keep you in the slow lane!

The Fanniecrat 3000 is a worthy successor to other government-designed vehicles like the Chevy Volt and the Soviet Union's classic Volga!

So jump on your bicycle right now and pedal on down to your city's GFCM dealer to see this phenomenal new vehicle. Pre-orders are available and the federal waiting list is down to 24 months, so act now!

And remember, all GFCM vehicles are guaranteed to be compatible with Magic Solar Energy Beans, the amazing fuel source designed by Democrats and due shortly after the 2012 election!



Please make sure that you are sitting down and that you have taken your blood pressure medication before viewing this chart

Don't say I didn't warn you.

The Senate Budget Committee Republican staff under Ranking Member Jeff Sessions [R-AL] on Wednesday released this depressing chart:


Are you serious? Over 110,000,000* in the U.S. are currently receiving some form of government welfare?

..."[S]ince 2000 Medicaid has increased from 34 million people to 54 million in 2011 and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, or food stamps) from 17 million to 45 million in 2011,” according to a statement released on Wednesday by Sen. Sessions’ office... >But here’s our favorite part: “Spending on food stamps alone is projected to reach nearly $800 billion over the next decade.”...

..."These figures include not only citizens, but non-citizens as well. For instance, USDA has acknowledged a formal partnership with Mexico to boost food stamp enrollment amongst non-citizens, migrant workers and foreign nationals. In a ‘radio novela’ USDA even depicted an individual who resisted food stamp enrollment (saying her husband earned enough to take care of them) but who was successfully pressured into enrollment.

Yep. Non-citizens enrolled in the Mexico-U.S. food stamp program.

While gut-wrenching, this graph represents a perfect illustration of the Obama administration -- or should we call it the Cloward-Piven administration?

President Obama is at war with the American taxpayer... and future generations.

Pass it on. Because this madness must end in November. Or the Republic will.
