Oh, come on, people! As I said in the previous post, this is really creeping me out. This post at My.BarackObama.com was written back in January of this year, but I also stumbled upon it today and it gave me the same willies. The blind love and adoration of everything Barack. Only this blogger takes it to a whole ‘nother level:
As Barack worked the line following the close of his speech, there was a surge of people moving forward hoping to get close enough to shake Barack’s hand. Since I was standing about 20 feet back from center stage in the crowd, I felt the crowd down front tighten as many of us stood on our toes, stretched our bodies forward while reaching out to Barack. I noticed that a six foot tall guy who was standing in front of me had stretched far enough above the crowd and shook hands with Barack. As the guy drew back his hand I asked him, “You shook his hand didn’t you?” Happily the guy said “Yes.” I then said, “give me some of that” and the guy shook my hand with the same hand he had just clasped with Barack’s. A woman friend of mine who was standing next to me saw me shake hands with the guy. I turned to her and said “He [the guy] just shook hands with Barack,” to which she responded…”Hey, give it up.” We then shook hands. She then turned to the person next to her and shook hands. This chain of hand shakes went on for about five or six more persons.
…I call this hand-shake scenario the “BAM” because, descriptively, it takes a bit of Obama’s name and it’s the sound of a collision, of People Coming Together!
Ewww… hope someone had some hand sanitizer.
Again… can someone please explain these sheeple to me?
I’m still pissed about this whole government bailout that Bush signed today. I heard on the news tonight that $300 billion of the bailout went to help out 400,000 homeowners who are facing foreclosure. What? $300 billion for 400,000 home mortgages? WTF is that all about? Now correct me if I’m wrong because math is NOT my forte, but if my calculator and 0s came out correctly, isn’t that $750,000 per HOUSE? Seriously…are you kidding me?
My God in heaven… what in the hell is wrong with Congress? Oh, yeah… that’s right. A lot of them face re-election in November. So, this really wasn’t a “bailout;” it was a huge-ass bribe that the rest of us responsible Americans will have to pay for. But that doesn’t give Bush any excuse. And if you’re living in a $750,000 home and you need bailed out? Screw you! You don’t deserve it - you bought way above your means.
(Note: I realize the whole amount is not just going to be doled out to these 400,000 houses as a whole, and a lot of it will go to ‘administrative’ fees, but good grief. Enough already!)
We have prime example #1 here in Georgia of why the government bailouts of mortgage behemoths Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as the individual losers who are facing foreclosure. Why the hell are we forking over taxpayer dollars to prop up government entities who could not control themselves, or pathetic social losers who not only buy/borrow above their means, but continue to want to suck at the government teat to bail their sorry asses out? I for one am sick of this entitlement shit. I work hard for my money, and I spend within my means. To hell with those of you who can’t or just refuse to do so.
Case in point: There’s a sorry-ass family here in the Atlanta area who was the once-in-a-lifetime beneficiary of the grandest of benevolent gifts anyone could receive; a mortgage-free home, plus $100,00 in cash by the builders. How did they get their new home? Why, they were “winners” on an episode of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”
You see, Milton and Patricia Harper (the new homeowners) didn’t have the sense enough to count their blessings, hire someone to help with their finances and get on with their lives. Nooooo! They had to take their free home, apply for a first mortgage loan for the value of $450,000 to try to start a new business, but alas… the business didn’t work out. So what do they do? Here’s the report from the local WSB-TV story:
Lake City mayor Willie Oswalt was among the 1,800 volunteers helping “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” build the Harper’s new home 3 ½ years ago. Beazer Homes of Atlanta was the main sponsor. The mayor said he is baffled.
“Beazer gave them $100,000 cash, paid their mortgage off and they still can’t make it,” said Oswalt.
Harper told Channel 2 they invested the loan proceeds in a construction business and the business hasn’t been good. She didn’t say how much of the money is left.
“What’s going to happen is instead of keep paying my mortgage, I’m going to take my money and not pay my mortgage because I’m being harassed,” said Harper.”
Do what? Harassed by who, you loser? You’re going to keep the money but not pay your mortgage? F**K you, and I don’t want MY tax dollars paying to bail your sorry asses out! One of the thousands of low-lifes who say “can’t pay? so what.. here’s the keys.” No wonder this country is in the mess that it is in. Not only did these douchebags look a gift-horse in the mouth, they shot him in the knee caps and put him to sleep.
Extreme Makeover and Beezer Homes builds you a luxury home, gives you 100,000 dollars, paid off your mortgage, and you lose the home to foreclosure in 3 and a half years.
How the hell does that happen?
Well, it does when you do good things for people with no sense at all. To be honest these people disgust me. Hundreds donated their time and energy to get them out of a bad situation. The goodness of their neighbors was spit upon today and whatever consequences comes to this family they deserve.
Someone direct the Harpers to their local tattoo artist to get a big “L” stamped on their foreheads. Screw these scum-sucking leeches.
Okay, I have a dumb question. Well, maybe not so dumb, but here goes anyway.
Why is Congress working overtime this weekend to pass legislation to basically bail out the two behemoth mortgage lenders, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as doling out millions of dollars to help out hundred of thousands of losers who borrowed way above their means to buy homes they could not afford, yet they cannot spend one minute of time allowing an up-or-down vote on something that is affecting every American, and that’s the energy bill to allow domestic drilling?
No wonder this country’s so f***ed up! Congress has their priorities in all the wrong places. They should all be replaced, every last one of them. Do they even have any clue whatsoever as to why they now have a 9% record-low approval rating? What a bunch of dumbasses.
This criminal illegal alien, Edwin Ramos, was here illegally and is originally from El Salvador. He’s also reported to have been a member of one of the most lethal gangs in the world, MS13, or Mara Salvatrucha 13. From the SF Gate article:
The man charged with killing a father and two sons on a San Francisco street last month was one of the youths who benefited from the city’s long-standing practice of shielding illegal immigrant juveniles who committed felonies from possible deportation, The Chronicle has learned.
Edwin Ramos, now 21, is being held on three counts of murder in the June 22 deaths of Tony Bologna, 48, and his sons Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16. They were shot near their home in the Excelsior district when Tony Bologna, driving home from a family picnic, briefly blocked the gunman’s car from completing a left turn down a narrow street, police say.
Ramos, a native of El Salvador whom prosecutors say is a member of a violent street gang, was found guilty of two felonies as a juvenile - a gang-related assault on a Muni passenger and the attempted robbery of a pregnant woman - according to authorities familiar with his background.
I have a preliminary suggestion: Moats full of alligators, death rays, electrified fences, pools of piranhas, you name it. And THAT’S just for Gavin Newsom’s house! This insanity has to stop. God bless Mrs. Bologna and know that our prayers are with you.

When, oh, when, will we hold the Associated Press accountable for their atrocious behavior abroad? Here in this video, AP stringers watch and video as Taliban members execute two women in Ghazni province, Afghanistan for allegedly prostituting themselves to Western clientele. Check out Rusty Shackleford’s complete breakdown at the JawaReport:
Once again the AP is aiding and abetting the enemy. This time with a group listed as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. and which several U.N. Security Council Resolutions forbid giving any assistance to.
Will the AP be given a Pulitzer this time?
Again, I must warn you…this is your GRAPHIC WARNING! Only click the video to watch if you want to know the truth.

***UPDATE - WBC HAS UPDATED THEIR SCHEDULE LISTING THE NEW LOCATION***
07/17/2008 08:30 AM - 10:00 AM Washington, DC
National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception 400 Michigan Ave. NE Tony Snow (Press Secretary for 6 “B” George W. Bush) is dead, YES! He had a platform, he was given some small talent by his creator. He was an unfaithful steward, and is now residing in hell. Each opportunity he had to faithfully Report what the servants at WBC had to tell this country/world, Tony Snow besmerched and vilified the words of God and the people of God. Thereby being a party to the crime of passing laws to make the preaching of the gospel to this adulterous and sinful generation = criminal activity. That is a very bad monkey!…
Then they’re going to continue on in Maryland:
07/17/2008 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM Baltimore, MD
Federal Court House in Baltimore, MD Hopkins Pl & W Pratt St Since we will be in the neighborhood picketing in Washington, DC at the funeral of a very evil (cut off at a surprisingly early age) scribe of DOOMED america named Tony Snow - we decided to hook up these unthankful brutes in Baltimore with a nice little picket….
***NOTE***
Apparently Fred Phelps saw fit to post a YouTube video about Tony Snow’s death, the vile and disgusting pig he is.
I’m sick to my stomach at this, and really don’t want to give them any more press than they give themselves, but I would hate to think that their planning would go un-noticed and that nobody would respond to stop this insanity. Please… don’t let this come to pass. I know we have freedom of speech, but some things should just not be permitted. This is one of them.
Just breaking, one of the most senior judges in England says Sharia law should be practiced in the U.K. WTF is he thinking? Here’s a piece from the article:
Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips said that Islamic legal principles could be employed to deal with family and marital arguments and to regulate finance.
He declared: ‘It is possible in this country for those who are entering into a contractual agreement to agree that the agreement shall be governed by a law other than English law.’
In his speech in an East London mosque Lord Phillips signalled approval of sharia principles as a means of settling disputes so long as no punishments that conflict with the established law are involved, and as long as divorces are made to comply with the civil law.
Is he freakin’ kidding us? Creeping Sharia is already on its way, but now a top official in the high courts in Britain comes out with this excrement sandwich? The people of the U.K. should be completely outraged and call for his dismissal, or whatever means they use, from the court. What a sham. Here are some of the “delightful” points of Sharia Law and Muslims in the U.K.:
* Sharia law is based on the Koran, on associated teaching about the life of the Prophet Mohammed, and on the judgements of Islamic clerics and lawyers down the centuries.
* It is in essence a set of religious principles by which Muslims are required to live. Sharia is interpreted and enforced differently in different countries across the Islamic world.
* Islamic law is often regarded as having four parts: how Muslims should worship; commerce; crime and punishment; and marriage and divorce.
* Sharia says forbidden behaviour, like drinking alcohol and taking drugs, or adultery, should be punished. Islamic scholars say the Koran sets down punishments such as lashes or stoning for adultery.
* Sharia law also permits behaviour not allowed by English law, for example (sic) polygamy, which in some jurisdictions says men may have up to four wives.
* In Britain, sharia courts are often operated by mosques. Muslim families come to sharia courts for justice and agree to be bound by their rulings.
* They have no formal legal status.
* There are around 1.6 million British Muslims, most of whom are of Pakistani origin. The strongest Muslim communities are in London, especially in the East London borough of Tower Hamlets where Lord Phillips spoke yesterday, Birmingham, Yorkshire and Lancashire.
* Orthodox Jews operate Beth Din courts which are subordinate to the civil law and which decide issues among 180,000 people according to ancient Jewish law. They are regulated by the Chief Rabbi. A divorcing Jewish couple first divorce in the civil courts, then come to the Beth Din tribunals for religious judgement.
* The only religious courts in England with full and official legal status are the consistory courts and tribunals which decide disputes and disciplinary matters in the Church of England.
WWTBS (What would Tony Blair Say?)
Boy, is the West ever screwed if B. Hussein Obama gets elected.
You are a Freedom Crusader, also known as a neoconservative. You believe in taking the fight directly to the enemy, whether it’s terrorists abroad or the liberal terrorist appeasers at home who give them aid and comfort.
