Why does Mike Stark hate America?

Stark:

I stopped by their [The College Republicans] booth at CPAC’s exhibit hall and asked if they’d help me convince the Directors of CPAC to bring in military recruiters…

She wouldn’t stand up for the troops.

Listen to the audio.

More to come. Check back for updates.

Update: Mike Stark:

I repeated this sort of interview several times throughout the conference. I’d look for the most attractive college republican girls standing with their boyfriends. I always tried to do it when there was a group of six or eight - 3 or 4 couples…

[...]

Given the fact that these young women are so attractive, I thought it might help out the guys they are with if the girls shared with us what they found attractive in a "REAL" man…

Hear the audio.

More tomorrow:

I’ve got a lot more coming tomorrow. Audio of miss manners cussing a blue streak (that’d be Malken)… Audio of Malkin and her panty-waste lackey, Brian Preston, chatting with me about the lack of recruiters… (that’s when I “came out” and announced myself - a true magic moment)… audio of me asking Duncan Hunter how old the earth is… asking Grover Norquist about tax fairness for the blue states - why we pay much more in taxes than we get back from the feds, but the red states pay much less in taxes than they take from the feds.

And now, for something completely different...

Mr. Savage gets dumped

Michael Savage
Savage Nation,

Dear Mr. Savage,

I'm sorry to hear that Hollywood superagency CAA dumped you as a client only two days after you signed with them. It's a shame they chose to side with another client, Melissa Etheridge, after you said the thought of her marriage to another woman made you want to vomit. But I guess that's Hollywood. It's nothing but a big crack house of tolerance where concepts like brotherhood and sisterhood are peddled like drugs to our unsuspecting children.

Of course, you could have probably avoided all of this if you had shown them your other side, the part of you that wrote mash notes to Allen Ginsburg. I'm sure they'd have been more forgiving if you told them of your desire to shove a camera up Ginsberg's butt to photograph his rectum or how you thought of the late poet as you played "finger games" with "a little-known black brother." But I guess it's too late for that now.

Perhaps you should look into signing with the Claire Boothe Luce Policy Institute or the Young Americans foundation. They keep Ann Coulter busy despite her homophobia and frequent calls to murder public officials.

Heterosexually yours,

Gen. JC Christian, patriot

Update: The old links to the mash notes are dead. I suspect Stanford U. objected to gifs of the letters being placed on the internets tubes. After a little searching, I found a link where the camera letter is discussed.

Michael Savage to Allen Ginsberg:

Watched a tourist from New Zealand taking pictures of Fijian people in the marketplace [and] thought of inserting my camera's lens in your A-hole to photograph the walls of your rectum. I really do apologize but the thought did occur.

Not so important

In an earlier post, I discussed what's important to those of us who blog in the patriotsphere. Now, let's take a look at what isn't important, the neglect of wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital:


*Method: Google search on the last three months for term, "Walter Reed" minus term "Code Pink." Results were hand searched to find posts about neglect at Walter Reed.

This post at Blackfive is representative of the few posts I found:

One thing about the military almost completely misunderstood by civilians, but a fundamental part of life in uniform is that things will always suck.

Update: Walter Reed scandal - an annotated bibliography.

Isn't it time for the schools to address miraculous visitations?

I posted this to Steve Gilliard's blog a couple of days ago.

Sen. Raymond Finney
Tennessee State Senate

Dear Sen. Finney,

Although I'm a huge fan of what you do in the Senate, I'm a little disappointed that you chose to announce your creationism resolution via a press release rather than on your blog. That's a shame, because I think it's one of the finest legislator blogs on all the internets tubes.

That said, I'm thrilled by your resolution. It's about time someone forced the Tennessee Department of Education to tell us whether they officially believe in God or not. Now the Department has to take a stand. The series of questions you ask in the resolution leaves them no other choice. The questions are absolutely inspired:

• Is the universe and all that is within it, including human beings, created through purposeful, intelligent design by a Supreme Being, that is a Creator?
• Since the universe, including human beings, is created by a supreme being (a creator), why is creationism not taught in Tennessee public schools?
• Since it cannot be determined whether the universe, including human beings, is created by a supreme being (a creator), why is creationism not taught as an alternative concept, explanation, or theory, along with the theory of evolution in Tennessee public schools?

I'm wondering if the same strategy could be employed to force the Department to take a stand on other faith-based theories. I'm particularly interested in miraculous visitation (Christ on a knish or the Virgin Mary on a bicycle seat--that kind of thing).

You see, I have a bunion that looks exactly like Saint Christina the Astonishing. People laugh at me and call me crazy when I tell them about it, and they get angry and disgusted when I try to show it to them. I'm tired of the abuse, but I know it stems from ignorance. That's why I'm hoping you can help me out by filing a resolution. Hopefully, it'll convince the Department of Education to put both miraculous visitation and creationism into their science curriculum.

Heterosexually yours,

Gen. JC Christian, patriot

Priorities

While the francosphere is busy polluting the internets tubes with Carlin's seven dirty words, we in the patriotsphere deal with the issues that are most important to us.

Douglas Feith hits the internets tubes

I'm not sure this web site helps him much.

I don't think he's quite right in the head.

The $100 Hannidate

I'm sure that there will be those in the francosphere who will call Mr. Hannity a hypocrite, but I think this photo proves that his kind of support of legalized prostitution is different than the the kind of support he accuses Justice Ginsburg of harboring.



More pictures from Mr. Hannity's Big Brothel Adventure (The pictures are tame, but you may not want to look at the Bunny Ranch's site at work).

Update: Mr. Hannity only hangs out at the classiest whorehouses. Check out these Bunny Ranch testimonials (not work safe):

"Steamier than Amsterdam"
Joey Buttafucco

"Nevada's Sexual Food Court"
Vince Neil - Motley Crue

Update II: (Bunny Ranch Site warning) It looks like Judith Regan found work after the Jewish publishing cartel destroyed her.

The Jivester honors Dick with a song

Won’t You Slink Home, Dick Cheney
(sung to the tune Won’t You Come Home, Bill Bailey)

Won’t you slink home, Dick Cheney, won’t you slink home
I’ve groaned the whole week long
I’ll do the huntin’, honey, I’ll shoot the guests
I even wrote this song

See the rest here.

That Jivester guy is going to Hell. I wonder how long it'll take him before he pollutes our minds with My Old Kentucky Homosexual.

Schecter vs Rush

I don't know why Cliff Schecter would stoop so low in attacking Mr. Limbaugh. Rush's use of hillbilly heroin ain't nobody's business 'cept his and his Dominican prostitute's.

The enemy within

Glenn Greenwald may be French as hell and a leading contender on my list of people who may be the Antichrist, but I have to thank him for introducing me to the Victory Caucus. It's provided me with hours of fun and warriorly companionship of a heterosexual nature since I signed up over the week end. Even more importantly, it's introduced me to some of the brightest minds of the coweringosphere. Take "Snooper" for instance. His post on the motives of our internal enemies is one of the best decriptions of libislamunistofascism I've seen. I couldn't resist posting the following comment in response.

Snooper wrote:

One should be asking their self why the Leftinistra are performing political posturing to the degree they have been doing in recent days. Could it be about their aspirations to further their defeatist propaganda? Could it be about their inability to support a man that defeated them in two presidential elections? Could it be their inherent hatred of the military? Could it be their absolute hatred of America? Could it be their belief that every ill in the world is the fault of America? Could it be that the United States military and their supporters are in their way to reign in the New United Socialist States of North America?

Thank you Snooper. I think you've pretty much nailed it, although I'd add a couple more. They're trying to destroy our belief in God by twisting our children's minds with science, new math, phonics, and Spongebob Squarepants. They're trying to sap our fighting strength by contaminating our precious bodily fluids with fluoride, lattes, hummus, and quiche. And worst of all, they're trying to destroy Christmas.

What is the driving force of the Leftinistra? I have made several assessments on this question and the most probable root influence is that they are indeed a band of Socialists. They were defeated during the Cold War which, we won by not firing a shot openly. The example of the perfect society went down when the Berlin Wall finally came crashing down.

Yes, they're socialists who will not rest until they seize control of the means of production and force us all to discuss dialectical materialism while sitting in coffee houses sipping cappuccinos and listening to beat poets.

But they're also scientists who are bent on destroying the truth by inculcating us with evolislamununistofascism, Copernislamununistofascism, geologislamunistofascism, paleontolislamununistofascism, and whatever the heck it is Al Gore is always going on about.

And let's not forget the homosexuals with their America-hating bulges of irresistible temptation, working their homomojo to recruit unsuspecting pastors, family-values-friendly Congressmen, and patriotic militia generals into their fabulous lifestyle.

There is overwhelming support for the War On Terror in Iraq and elsewhere. Your basic run of the mill American knows that if we do not fight them there, we will fight them here.

That is certainly the case despite what all of the polls may say. The problem with such polling is that it's conducted by socialist homosexual scientists using new math. We need to put together our own faith-based polls to counter their propaganda. Only then, will we get the results we desire.

Update: According to his profile, Snooper is a former intelligence agent.

Update II: It looks like the Victory Caucus has been hacked by francoslamunistofascists. That'd explain why I've been banned.

Holy Virgin Spotting

Regular readers may recall that I'm trying to keep track of Jesus sightings. My plan is to keep tabs on the Christ so we'll know the moment he heads off to Jerusalem for the glorious slaughterfest that'll signal the beginning of the End Times. Then, I alert you, my readers, so you can sell your stocks short and make a killing. As I've said before, it's what our Republican redeemer would do.

It's been awhile since I've reported a savior spotting. So long in fact, I was going to tell you to call your brokers today. Fortunately, I received an email from Rene ala Carte before I hit the publish button. He reports that Our Lord's mother is currently appearing on a cookie sheet in Houston. Surely, the Savior wouldn't leave mom behind if he was going to Jerusalem, so I think it's safe to hold on to our stocks a little longer.

Think good thoughts for Steve

He's a great guy. I wish him my best.

Reclaiming our traditions

Debbie Raziano
National President
Delta Zeta Sorority

Dear President Raziano,

Kudos to you for going down to DePauw University and culling all the overweight and brown sisters from the Delta Chapter. You've given the remaining sisters a special gift; you've given them hope of becoming popular once again.

I wonder, however, if the National Council is doing enough to prevent the same problems from occurring elsewhere. I counted at least three brown and ten overweight sisters in the latest issue of The Lamp. Although 13 is a relatively small number when compared to the hundreds of other sisters who appear in the same issue, it isn't zero, and it's not what we would call that old Delta Zeta standard of slim, white perfection.

If you're going to allow any chapter to accept brown or overweight pledges, you might as well do away with other cherished Delta Zeta traditions like purging and Jew baiting. We certainly don't want to see that happen, do we.

Heterosexually yours in a chaste and biblically acceptable kind of way,

Gen. JC Christian, patriot

Journalism as Entertainment: Should News Inform or Just Entertain?

Recent events have helped underscore the extent to which our "establishment" journalism industry is failing to provide Americans with the information they need in order to make reasonable, informed decisions about the future of the nation. Even cursory observations have made this clear to critics in the past, but by now it should be blindingly obvious to everyone. Unfortunately, most people don't seem to care because their desire to be entertained is being carefully catered to.

Anna Nicole Smith is dead, and that is unfortunate, but the news media has devoted an undeservedly large amount of attention to her death and the legal wrangling over the fate of her body. Perhaps fittingly, the judge in the case has had aspirations to follow in the steps of Judge Judy as a television celebrity. I suppose it would be naive to hope that a judge might aspire to follow in the footsteps of Thurgood Marshall, William Brennan, or Earl Warren, but apparently even the lofty inspiration of Judge Wapner is too much to expect.

Britney Spears has shaved her head, and that is quite a bit less unfortunate, but it's getting at least as much media attention as Smith's death. Both events have been plastered across newspapers, news programs, and so forth. Everyone has been made abundantly aware of every detail of these situations which are utterly irrelevant to the national life.

Around the same time, it has been revealed that a major contributor to the Republican Party has been charged with material support of terrorists in Afghansitan — but little has been reported on this in the major media. GOP presidential hopeful John McCain has revealed his support for criminalizing abortion, but the media hasn't said much about the shift from this previous position supporting legal abortion. Federal prosecutors around the country have been fired under suspicious circumstances and Congress is trying to investigate, but we've heard nary a peep from the mainstream press.

Sen. Bernie Sanders has been trying to get someone — anyone — to run with the story about what's really in Bush's proposed budget. The Walton family alone will receive $32.7 billion dollars in tax breaks, while subsidies to bring heating oil to the poor, groceries to seniors, and the VA budget will all be cut. These are the financial and social priorities of the Bush administration: tax breaks for the wealthy coupled with cuts in funds that help keep the poor warm and fed (barely). Once again, though, this hasn't appeared in the mainstream media news.

In Into the Buzzsaw: Leading Journalists Expose the Myth of a Free Press, edited by Kristina Borjesson, Maurice Murad writes:

The corporations are now pretty much in control of the network news divisions, and keeping audiences awake is paramount. If the information is going to put you to sleep, it isn't going to be there. A news broadcast gets ratings, or it is gone.

Want an example? Nightline, the paragon of television journalism, devoted five nights to a wrap-up of the Clinton presidency. Virtually all of the first four nights were devoted to scandals (Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, and Monica lewinsky), a policy failure (universal health care), and a budget battle (the closing down of the government). A portion of the fifth night dealt with the bombing of Yugoslavia and subsequent capitulation by Slobodan Milosevic. All were hot topics, with personal anecdotes from White House insiders. ("When I heard the Flowers audio tape my heart sank," says George Stephanopolous.)

In all five nights there was nothing on Clinton's decision to reject a compromise thus destroying federal habeas corpus, nothing on the draconian immigration act he signed into law, nothing on his instant recognition that globalization was now the driving force behind foreign policy, nothing on his willingness to fight his own party on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), nothing on putting teeth in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) by backing the World Trade Organization, nothing on his bailout of the Mexican economy, nothing on his efforts to bring peace to Northern Ireland, nothing on his overtures to reduce tensions with North Korea, nothing on his gamble to back Boris Yeltsin — a move that may have thwarted a return of the Communists to power — and nothing on his fight against the evisceration of the Clean Water Act.

I could go on. Why? you may ask. After all, they had five nights, and Ted Koppel and his executive producer, Tom Bettag, are without question the two brightest minds in our business. The answer is Jay Leno and David Letterman. Even at Nightline information goes begging when ratings are at stake. There's a reason why they aired over forty broadcasts on Jim and Tammy Fay Baker, and it had nothing to do with the public's need to know.

The examples cited in this passage are a bit old now, but they track closely with the most recent examples I describe above. This isn't a new phenomenon, but it is perhaps getting worse as times goes by, and the consequences will certainly grow worse as well. Democracy cannot function well if the people are too poorly informed to make good decisions about what will happen. When people are accustomed to being informed, they are less likely to accept the excuses of leaders who try to use secrecy and disinformation to hide what they are doing and why.

Sometimes the major news media "gets it" and does well — the reports about the deplorable conditions which some wounded veterans must endure at Walter Reed Hospital is a good example of that, but part of what stands out about this example is just how unusual it really is: reporters took it upon themselves to investigate something unknown to most people, developed some dramatic and compelling stories relating to this and brought it all to the public. The story couldn't be ignored or swept under the rug and it is leading to at least a few changes. How often does this happen? How much more often should it happen?

At least when the Roman government provided bread and circuses to the people to keep them distracted, Romans were actually fed a little bit while being entertained.
