Sean Penn Calls Tea Party the ‘Get the N-Word Out of the White House Party’ Which Wants to ‘Lynch’ Obama
By Brent Baker | October 15, 2011 | 01:39

*** begin quote ***

Left-wing actor Sean Penn slimed the Tea Party as motivated by racism, charging on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight on Friday evening that an impediment to President Obama’s success is “what I call the ‘Get the N-word out of the White House party,’ the Tea Party.”

At a time when Herman Cain tops polls of Republican primary voters, Penn proceeded to allege, without citing any evidence, that “there’s a big bubble coming out of their heads saying, you know, ‘can we just lynch him?’”

*** end quote ***

Less than a month ago, I thought that he was just a “pinhead”, And a “liberal” one at that.

Hollywood “stars”, for some reason, think their success at entertaining “We, The Sheeple” somehow makes them “thought leaders”, “experts in all manner of disciplines”, or the next “gandhi”. In fact, there are a few who emerge from that world and demonstrate competency. I’m think of Heddy Lamar inventing a torpedo, Charlton Heston marching with Pastor Martin Luther King, and Ronald Reagan becoming President. And, in the American Republic, the Dead Old White Guys envisioned that every man was king. And, in Hollywood there are some very smart entertainers, Jodie Foster comes to mind. In entertainment, Dolly Parton is a notable business success.

But, it seems that there are just many more loons. Which is OK as long as they are “good people”. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion; even if it is wrong.

At some point however, they can become dangerous and hurtful.

Seems like Sean Penn has crossed over into that territory.

He has smeared a large group of people with basically the worst label one can apply today. Other than “used car salesman” or politician. Racist!

Now, I’ve never been to a “Tea Party”, but I can understand them. I haven’t gone because I believe that they can’t change anything.You’re not going to get the politicians and bureaucrats to give up their power by just showing up. Ain’t never happened; ain’t never going to happen.

The Free State Project is an effort to “take over” a state and eventually throw the bums out. That MIGHT have a chance.

Sean Penn has earned his way on to my personal “Jane Fonda” list. Since I am still free to spend my money any way I want, I choose not to spend it with or on anyone on that list. They are Persona Non Grata. I shun them. Peacefully, turning my back on them.

So to with Sean Penn.

He can get off my list by curing cancer, saving babies, or proving his assertion.

Till then, none of my dollars for him.

RANT: 999 = great soundbite, but can’t get there from here

Friday, October 14, 2011

999 is a great sound bite. BUT, who would agree to a Sales Tax without the repeal of the 16th and the elimination of income tax. (Income tax is an economically STUPID idea.) The argument against the FAIR / FLAT / 999 / any other great idea is: Why give the Gooferment more money and more ways to take it? AND do you really want a income tax AND a sales tax? AND, do you trust that it would stay at 9, 13, 22, 31%? (You certainly don’t want it hidden in prices like the corporate tax is now. That’s how Europe and Canada would up with a VAT where each step in the production process gets hammered with a huge tax.

In a perfect world, 9% sales tax — with NO other taxes — would be tolerable. The correct level is zero. But I could stand for 9%. But that means no state, no city, no property, no nothing. Politicians and bureaucrats should starve!

RANT: The World’s Policeman?

Friday, October 14, 2011

President Barack Obama has authorized the deployment of up to 100 combat-equipped U.S. troops to central Africa to help hunt down the leaders of a rebel force known as the Lord’s Resistance Army.

A senior administration official said 12 troops have been deployed so far under what he called a training mission aimed at helping African forces find and kill Joseph Kony, the fugitive head of the rebels.

The U.S. forces will deploy to Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

RANT: Lisa Edelstein, Dr. Lisa Cuddy, has moved on

Good Television That Is Being Threatened From the Inside

House M.D. South Park The Simpsons the Walking Dead

by Rollin Bishop | 3:10 pm, October 13th, 2011

*** begin quote ***

1. House Cast

As time has gone on, Fox’s best-known medical drama, House, has had a rotating cast of characters with some but not too many regulars. This season, there are even fewer regulars than normal. For a drama of this kind, especially one named after a central character, House, M.D. has almost been around for too long. All of the normal character arcs have played their hands long ago and now we’re back to introducing new faces in order to produce new arcs.

But this season marks the absence of Lisa Edelstein, Dr. Lisa Cuddy, as she and Hugh Laurie’s House had a falling out at the end of last season. It’s been written off as Cuddy leaving for another position somewhere else, and she’s gone from regularly appearing. In addition to this, Olivia Wilde has been off making movies and thus appears irregularly as Thirteen. Oh, and did I mention there are two new doctors, both female, being added to the squad? Taub is soon to be outnumbered. But the point remains: This is an obvious attempt to reinvigorate a show that has already had its time and done what it set out to do. It may or it may not actually do it.

Guess it’s jumped that proverbial shark.

RANT: Last Night’s Debate

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

*** begin quote ***

I stayed home last night. Wanted to watch the Republican debate at 9. I could not find it on my TV. I have over 300 channels available to me, yet could not get the debate. A bummer.

*** end quote ***

It was on the “Bloomberg” channel by all the finance channels. And it was live on line on bloomberg dot com.

It was interesting. Only Cain and Paul have a unique message. Would have like to have seen more argument between pro-FED Cain and anti-FED Paul over the very existence of the banking cartel.

Cain’s 999 plan took a lot of flak. I’m not sure anyone was listening when Bachman put a torpedo midships of it when she (correctly) pointed out that the National Sales Tax would lead to a Value Added Tax all in ADDITION to the income tax giving the politicians more money to spend.

That’s the argument against any type of tax “reform”. Be it flat tax, fair tax, or rich tax. It’s all just giving more power to the Gooferment.

Argh!

RANT: Secret U.S. Memo

Secret U.S. Memo Made Legal Case to Kill a Citizen
By CHARLIE SAVAGE
Published: October 8, 2011

*** begin quote ***

Then there was the Bill of Rights: the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee that a “person” cannot be seized by the government unreasonably, and the Fifth Amendment’s guarantee that the government may not deprive a person of life “without due process of law.”

The memo concluded that what was reasonable, and the process that was due, was different for Mr. Awlaki than for an ordinary criminal. It cited court cases allowing American citizens who had joined an enemy’s forces to be detained or prosecuted in a military court just like noncitizen enemies.

It also cited several other Supreme Court precedents, like a 2007 case involving a high-speed chase and a 1985 case involving the shooting of a fleeing suspect, finding that it was constitutional for the police to take actions that put a suspect in serious risk of death in order to curtail an imminent risk to innocent people.

The document’s authors argued that “imminent” risks could include those by an enemy leader who is in the business of attacking the United States whenever possible, even if he is not in the midst of launching an attack at the precise moment he is located.

(1) “Secret”? Argh! What kind of “barbara streisand” is this?

(2) “… may not deprive a person of life without due process of law.” Seems pretty straight forward to me. (Have to like the Dead Old White Guys for saying what they meant!)

(3) Sorry, but this is just wrong!

The kind of person who believes that the Gooferment should not be involved in the brainwashing of future voters. Parents had ’em; parents should educate them. Gooferment Skrules are: immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. And, it’s a violation of the First Amendment to push a religion — the worship of the “Father State” as the People’s “savior” and devotion to preservation “Mother Earth”. I don’t pay to feed (except through the charities I freely support), clothe, entertain, house, or anything else for the children that I had no say in deciding to bring into this world; so why do I get to pay some overpaid baby sitters to supposedly educate them?

And lest I be accused of being an Ebenezer, who was right, this policy of “forced reeducation” has so many “unintended consequences” it’s a joke.

(1) Gooferment Skrules were developed by the Prussians to create good soldiers for the Army, pliable factory workers, and a citizenry easily led by the elite. (Sound close to where we are?)

(2) Conditioned parents and children to hand themselves over to a factory that dehumanizes them and dumbs them down to virtual idiots who can’t read, rite, or rithmatic. (Explains where we rank in the world’s education stats!)

(3) Ever hear of the “Stamford Experiment”? Wonder why we have school violence and bullying? Can you see the relation between “school” and a prison?

(4) Can you tell the difference between the segregated schools of the 40’s and 50’s what we have today?

(5) “If the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan wanted to sabotage black academic excellence, he could not find a more effective means to do so than the government school system in most cities.” — Walter Williams

(6) Funding Gooferment Skrules by property taxes drives senior citizens on fixed incomes from their homes.

(7) The Teachers Unions and politicians have an incestuous relationship. And, it’s the taxpayers, parents, and children who are getting <synonym for the past tense of the procreation act.>!

RANT: White House confirms Secret Panel Can Order Americans Assassinated

White House: Secret Panel Can Order Americans Assassinated
Officials Say Process Will Remain a Secret
by Jason Ditz, October 05, 2011

*** begin quote ***

In comments made through the media today, a number of top Obama Administration officials, including White House spokesman Tommy Vietor, confirmed that there is a “secret panel” which exists now that can order American citizens assassinated with no judicial oversight.

Vietor declined to give any information related to the process of how the panel decides who lives and who dies, but officials say as far as they know cleric Anwar Awlaki was the only American they have ordered executed yet.

The only thing officials would say about the assassination process was that the president’s death panel was a “subset” of the National Security Council and that there is no existing legislation governing its operation.

Anyone want to try to defend this unconstitutional activity?
