Democrats Websites Hacked

Filed under: Congress, General— Susie at 4:44 pm on Thursday, January 28, 2010

More than two dozen Congressional websites have been defaced by the Red Eye Crew, a group known for its regular attacks on websites.

The sites, some of which were using the Joomla content management system (CMS), were wiped of their regular content and replaced with a message coarsely expressing disapproval for US President Barack Obama.

Democrats seemed to be predominantly targeted. The attacks came around the same time as Obama gave his first State of the Union address on Wednesday night.

Oops, Red Eye Crew strikes again. No connection whatsoever with Fox’s own Red Eye. Red Eye Crew would make a great name for a band.

Even though I was laid off for a portion of last month, I am still going to send a little something to help these people. I will have faith that it will not be wasted.

I encourage you to contribute as well.

Oliver Stone Needs Attention Again!

“Stalin, Hitler, Mao, McCarthy — these people have been vilified pretty thoroughly by history,” Stone told reporters at the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual press tour in Pasadena.
“Stalin has a complete other story,” Stone said. “Not to paint him as a hero, but to tell a more factual representation. He fought the German war machine more than any single person. We can’t judge people as only ‘bad’ or ‘good.’ Hitler is an easy scapegoat throughout history and its been used cheaply. He’s the product of a series of actions. It’s cause and effect … People in America don’t know the connection between WWI and WWII … I’ve been able to walk in Stalin’s shoes and Hitler’s shoes to understand their point of view. We’re going to educate our minds and liberalize them and broaden them. We want to move beyond opinions … Go into the funding of the Nazi party. How many American corporations were involved, from GM through IBM. Hitler is just a man who could have easily been assassinated.”…
Stone said that conservative pundits will dislike the show.
“Obviously, Rush Limbaugh is not going to like this history and, as usual, we’re going to get those kind of ignorant attacks,” said Stone, who also also compared the experience of sympathizing with war criminals to making his “W” movie about George W. Bush. “I’m trying to understand somebody I thoroughly despised.”

Liberals are still trying to rewrite history. I wonder if Obama asked him to make this film…hmmmmm!?

BREAKING: Donn Janes Dumps Republican Party. Running as TEA Party Candidate.

Filed under: General— Jim Tomasik at 9:49 pm on Saturday, January 9, 2010

Candidate Donn Janes

He said he will “…run as an independent TEA Party candidate for the 8th District of Tennessee.”

He announced his decision in front of the very same Paris, TN, TEA Party in which RedState’s Erick Erickson had claimed the unknown farmer from Frog Jump, Steven Fincher, was “an active participant in the TEA Party movement” and that “Steve Fincher is our guy. After contacting all known TEA Party groups in the area, the former seems to be false.

The Paris TEA Party declared that they have not endorsed any candidate and that Fincher had merely spoken to their TEA party on one occasion after their invitation. No other TEA party was found that had any knowledge of his attendance let alone his participation.

When referring to that event, one of the TEA Party organizers claimed that Fincher gave a 25-minute lecture and only allowed three questions from the audience. Then he left the stage.

During Janes’ speech, the crowded room erupted with applause when Janes announced his decision but organizer Dave Vance, along with a few other more devout Republicans, later said that Janes “…is making a big mistake”. They said we “have to work with the system we have or let another liberal Democratic candidate win.”

Many of the attendees congratulated Janes after the event. One person was overheard thanking Janes for his “courageous stand against the broken Republican Party” that had prematurely anointed Fincher as the Republican nominee despite his being a member of a farming family that had received millions of dollars in corporate welfare through farm subsidies.

It looks like the Republican Party really is the “party of stupid”.

At least the Paris TEA Party has the sense to not endorse any candidate this early in the election. As far as I know, neither does BlueCollarRepublican.

The man who lets a leader prescribe his course is a wreck being towed to the scrap heap.–Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand is a famous writer (for those who do not know) and she had some pretty liberal views. Recently I became more familiar with her works and life. In spite of having Socialist-like ideologies, even she acknowledges that a person has to have a strong will in order to fight for the few freedoms we have left as citizens. Just saying….

Fincher And Farm Subsidy

Filed under: Congress, General, Jim, Taxes, Tea Party— Jim Tomasik at 3:34 pm on Saturday, December 19, 2009

I seem to have struck a nerve with the press release that Mid South TEA Party sent out a couple days ago.

If Republicans are going to kick the Dems for redistribution of wealth, maybe they should get a taste of their own medicine. I’ve gotten many positive responses to the release and a couple negative ones. None have been rude. That’s what I miss!

This is my response to a polite but negative one.

Hello Martha,

Thank you for responding to the press release. It is of great concern to me and some others with whom I associate.

Honestly, I cannot place the time where I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you at a conference in Union. To the best of my memory, I have not stopped in Union in many years. Are you sure it was me? Your email address does seem familiar.

Anyway,

Having issues with me because I am having an issue with Fincher’s campaign will at least bring this all out into the open for debate. Sometimes written messages may not “sound” as congenial as the writer intends. Please know that I harbor no malice towards you, Mr. Fincher, farmers in general or any other individuals connected to this debate. We merely have opposing viewpoints.

Maybe you have a point in your concerns. Let’s look and see.

You said about farmers:

“These are the people that take risk every day. will the weather be right. how will the market hold, the dangers for working on a farm. who will help get out the crops,…”

My response to that is as follows:

Yes, farming is a business. In business, one takes risks. Are “the dangers for working on a farm” any more grave than any other hands on trade? Are you talking about physical dangers? If so, maybe we should compare workers comp payments required by different trades before we assume that farmers are the ones taking risks every day.

You said:

“Many of farmers lost a lot of money with the rain this year.”

My response to that is as follows:

You have probably seen bumper stickers that say something like “Farmers feed America”. I like that bumper sticker.

Here’s another one that I like: “Union Iron Workers! Building America Since 19??!” Even though I am not in the union and I’m not sure of the exact year it started, I like the sentiment of a craftsmen who is proud of his trade, just like the sentiment of the farmer shown in his bumper sticker.

Over the past year or so, China has been booming in construction and has been buying up a lot of steel on the world market. Subsequently, the price of steel went through the roof and that has caused huge problems for iron workers. The crashing economy has devastated the construction business. As usual in times like these, investors slowed or stopped investing in new buildings. Contractors stopped buying steel for buildings because they are not building them. The steel fabricating shop for which I work was forced to put almost half of it’s employees in the unemployment line. The rest of us fear that we might be headed there ourselves.

So after following your line of thinking thus far, I have to ask the following question.

Can we get the farmers to share some of that tax money with the iron workers? If not, who will bail the hard working, America loving, struggling iron workers out? Come to think about it, I bet there are more iron workers in dire situations right now than there are farmers.

You then stated:

“If the government can give out tons of money to countries that hate the US. what is given to the farms is pocket change.”

Your argument is absolutely lost on me.

I do not approve of my tax dollars going to countries that hate us either. The government should stop that as well, right? Furthermore, I hope that you do not want us to give tax dollars to those countries so that we can maintain a great excuse to give even more money to wealthy farmers. Also, that money given to farmers is NOT pocket change at all. It is a huge fortune in OUR tax dollars. If I remember correctly, the last Farm Bill passed through Congress at a mind boggling 309 billion dollars! A THIRD of a Trillion dollars! That brings me to the next thing you said.

You offered an idea for my next research project:

“Look at the welfare handouts. at least the farmers work. no work no crop.”

My Response to that is as follows:

I just mentioned the 309 billion dollar Farm Bill that recently passed through Congress. Do you know how much of that goes to farmers? According to a Fayette County farmer who was defending the huge number to me last year, only about 7.5% actually goes to farmers. He told me that the rest of those tax dollars go to things that have nothing at all to do with farming. It goes to those welfare handouts that you’ve asked me to look at! I’m sure this farmer is a good man and I took what he told me for the truth. (If I am in error with any of these assertions, please forgive me while you adjust my thinking.)

Just so people will begin to pay attention, maybe we should rename the “Farm Bill” the “Welfare Bill”. Or better yet, how about we rename it the “Great Redistribution of Wealth Bill” because that is what it really is!

What is the best way for me to fight those welfare handouts?

For me to fight against the welfare handouts, I have no choice but to fight against the newly dubbed tax payer funded 309 billion dollar Great Redistribution of Wealth Bill.

The bill is protected by voter’s lack of knowledge of the following facts.

Less than one in ten dollars of the “Great Redistribution of Wealth Bill” is handed to a special interest group that holds sway over the romantic “American as Apple Pie” notions of small town farmers being given a helping hand. That insures that the other 9 dollars goes straight to those welfare handouts! Isn’t liberalism great? One dollar works while the other nine do not.

Now, I question myself: “How does this keep happenings over and over?” Simple! Get the people who received the tenth dollars to contribute about 4 cents on each those particular dollars to a candidate that will go to the US Congress and vote for an even bigger “Great Redistribution of Wealth Bill” next time!

Its pretty cheap investment once you think about it. That is less than one half of one percent of the total 309 billion that is required to get the next 309 billion coming down the Federal Government money pipe.

Then you said:

“I know that you are a supporter of Mr Janes. and I like him also. but bashing the farmers, you have gone too far.”

You’re possibly correct. At this time, it is fair to say that I am seriously looking at Janes. That is because I see him as the best person claiming to be a candidate in the race thus far. The fact in the matter is that we do not know who all will be running so I reserve the right to support whomever I please once those people step forward. Did you notice that I did not even mention Janes as an alternative to Fincher in the press release?

If I were to find Janes or any other candidate in a similar situation, I would let the light shine on him as well.

As far as bashing farmers? My family was in farming for generations. Have I gone to far? I don’t think so. I will continue to expose problems like this Farm Subsidies issue no matter if it is against my own flesh-and-blood running for office.

No, actually, I think it is the Federal Government that has gone to far.

With kindest regards,

Jim Tomasik

Loophole or Rationing?

Filed under: General, Health Care— Susie at 1:45 pm on Saturday, December 12, 2009

HEALTHCARE

A loophole in the Senate health care bill would let insurers place annual dollar limits on medical care for people struggling with costly illnesses such as cancer, prompting a rebuke from patient advocates.  The legislation that originally passed the Senate health committee last summer would have banned such limits, but a tweak to that provision weakened it in the bill now moving toward a Senate vote. As currently written, the Senate Democratic health care bill would permit insurance companies to place annual limits on the dollar value of medical care, as long as those limits are not “unreasonable.” The bill does not define what level of limits would be allowable, delegating that task to administration officials. Adding to the puzzle, the new language was quietly tucked away in a clause in the bill still captioned “No lifetime or annual limits.”http://www.nwtntoday.com/news.php?viewStory=34863 

I thought the whole idea of helathcare reform was to pay for catastrophic illness so patients did not have to mortgage their homes or file bankruptcy.

Obama Insults Norway: No Bow

Filed under: General— Susie at 3:36 pm on Thursday, December 10, 2009

US President Barack Obama accepted his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo on December 10, but acknowledged the controversy over the award. In addition, a scandal marred Obama’s arrival for the official ceremony in Norway. Officials of Obama’s administration canceled the dinner with the Norwegian Nobel Committee, the news conference, the interview for television, the meeting with children, the concert, the attendance of an exhibition organized in honor of the laureate and even the scheduled lunch with the King of Norway.

The fact that Obama canceled the lunch with the King of Norway insulted the whole nation, a Norwegian official said.

“Of all the things he is cancelling, I think the worst is cancelling the lunch with the king,” Siv Jensen, the leader of Norway’s largest party in opposition said. “This is a central part of our government system. He should respect the monarchy,” The Guardian quoted the official as saying.

http://english.pravda.ru/topic/obama_nobel-705/

Oh come on, Obama just doesn’t care who he insults, unless they are Muslim. He wouldn’t even meet with the press or meet the King of Norway?? I thought he was all about putting a new face on America and making all countries like us again, what happened to that measure?

New Anti-Obama Ad — ‘I’m a Racist’

Filed under: General, Health Care, Susie— Susie at 5:52 pm on Tuesday, December 8, 2009

A new PSA starring Republican Missouri Rep. Rob Schaaf features the GOP state lawmaker, along with a parade of other opponents of Barack Obama’s health-care reform, declaring for the camera, “I’m a racist,” or for the more noncommittal, “I guess I’m a racist.”

I guess I am a racist also, since I really do oppose the Health care bill.
