I LOVE That Christie, Huckabee, & King HATE Ted Cruz

Why is it that Trump supporters keep sharing videos or articles of Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, and/or Peter King (and others) sharing their disapproval/insults/hatred for Ted Cruz after his speech at the RNC?

Have they already forgotten that Christie, Huckabee, and King are progressives?

Have they already forgotten that Christie, Huckabee, and King are RINOs?

Have they already forgotten that Christie, Huckabee, and King are deeply entrenched members of the political establishment that all Trump supporters supposedly hate so much?

Why do they think it's a GOOD thing to promote what Christie, Huckabee, and King think about Cruz?

When I see these kinds of things posted, it just solidifies my opinion of Cruz. ALL of the proper people hate him. I don't want or need Ted Cruz to have the approval of a bunch of progressive RINO establishment types. (Like Trump supporters apparently NEED Cruz to speak these words: "I will vote for Trump" because they can't recognize an endorsement of any other kind.)

I LOVE knowing that Christie, Huckabee, and King (and many other faux-Conservative/Republican losers like them) HATE Ted Cruz.

Some in the Trump crowd, including several who are still on my facebook friend list, USED to know that having those in the progressive/RINO/establishment class speak ILL of your candidate is a GOOD THING. Today, for far too many of them, it's only a good thing if someone like Sarah Palin or Breitbart "News" or Donald Trump himself tells them it is so.

This is what happens when you sell-out your beliefs...when you fall for populism...when you let emotion guide your decisions...when you panic for no reason at all and fall-in line behind an inexperienced, authoritarian political amateur. It's shameful to witness.

It's too bad all of these videos are so SHORT! I could listen to this stuff ALL DAY LONG. I enjoy hearing Democrats bitch about Conservatives. It's music to my ears.

Pamela Geller Facebook Group (SIOA) Removed *Reinstated* On Facebook (UPDATED)

*****Scroll to the bottom of the post for an update.******

While I was in the middle of writing this post, the SIOA Facebook GROUP was reinstated (for now) on Facebook.

Pamela Geller reported earlier that her Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) Facebook GROUP has been removed from Facebook today in the wake of the Islamic terrorist attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, FL. In the headline of her blog post she misidentified it as being her SIOA PAGE that had been removed. Her SIOA PAGE is still on Facebook. But, her SIOA GROUP is was gone. It has since been reinstated.

Pamela included the above photo in her blog post and wrote the following:
Facebook has removed my group, Stop Islamization of America, in the wake of the jihad slaughter at a gay nightclub in Florida. We had over 50,000 members please politely request reinstatement of our group.

The group has been live since 2010. This is an outrage. Sharia enforcement in the wake of jihad slaughter?

Facebook pages are virtually worthless compared to groups. Interaction on pages is probably about 75-95% less than it is in a group.

Here's the PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/stopislamizationofamerica/
(It's still there - because it hasn't been wasn't removed...yet.)

Here's a link to the GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/StopIslamizationofAmerica/
You'll get Earlier I got a "Content not found" message (as seen below) when clicking on this link because the GROUP has had been removed as you can see below. But, if you click on the link to the GROUP above, you'll see that it has been reinstated on Facebook.


I'm glad the SIOA group is again available online...but, in all honesty, I find it amazing that it's been allowed to remain on Facebook for as long as it has. You see, Facebook is a private entity and it is their platform that we all use. They don't HAVE TO ALLOW ANYTHING THEY DON'T WANT to appear on THEIR PLATFORM. (Same goes for YouTube, Twitter, Blogger, etc.) That doesn't mean they're infringing on your freedom of speech if they don't want your hateful words on their platform. You're there at THEIR mercy...whether you like it or not. You do not have a Constitutionally-guaranteed right to FACEBOOK. You do have a Constitutionally-guaranteed right to freedom of speech.

When/if Facebook removes your content, that action does not infringe on your rights. You still have the right to say whatever you want wherever else you want...as long as it's on a platform that chooses to allow it. And, if you can't find a place online that will tolerate your harsh speech you can always create a sandwich board and walk around with it in your town. See? Your free speech rights still exist whether Facebook allows you to say whatever you want on their platform or not. Or, you could simply be smarter by toning down the language you use and still convey the same thought? But why do that, right? It's much easier to blame Facebook rather than yourself, right?

Now, Pamela Geller does NOT talk or create Facebook posts in a manner that is consistent with what rational people label as "hate speech." Too many of the people who comment on her posts in her group and on her facebook page, however, DO.

Those of you who want to behave as 7th grade boys and call muslims names like "mooslimes" and/or "muzzies" (and worse) and say things like "death to all muslims" or "f_ck all goat humpers" (and worse), it is YOU who are putting Pamela's existence on Facebook at risk!!! Grow up, for Pamela's sake and carry on an adult conversation or don't complain when her Facebook group is banned permanently by Facebook. For it will be YOU that will have caused it!!! Personally, I think Pamela should BAN those of you who DO put her group at risk...because, like I said, it is those of you who comment like you're a 13-year old boy with your junior high insults and cuss words directed toward all muslims that put her group and page at risk. It's not the things that SHE says or posts that does.

I know what I just said will piss off those same people who comment as junior high schoolers on Pamela's page and in her group. Unlike Pamela, I WILL ban you from this blog if you can't behave as an adult here. I have zero tolerance for the waste-of-time comments from simpletons who are only big-talking keyboard warriors that think that if they talk like a big prick online that they're accomplishing something. It's too bad I've blocked so many of these people on Facebook...those who talk like I described in Pamela's group and on her page...none of them will see this post of mine...so, please, feel free to post it yourself so that more of these morons CAN see it...for it is THEM that need to hear this message.

Complying with Facebook's (or those of any other social site) terms isn't called "being PC," it's called "being SMART"..if you want to utilize their platform, that is.

*****UPDATE*****
June 12, 2016 8:27 PM Central time
Pamela Geller has posted another blog post in which she states that she has personally been banned from posting on Facebook for 30 days. She also provides the text and screen shot of the "offending post" that resulted in her being banned.

As I said earlier in this blog post, "Pamela Geller does NOT talk or create Facebook posts in a manner that is consistent with what rational people label as "hate speech."" No one ever accused Facebook of being "rational," least of all me.

There is nothing new nor inconsistent in the language Pamela used in her post today that should have resulted in her being banned. And, one of the warnings that Pamela has posted on her blog says "You've repeatedly posted things that are not allowed on Facebook." Why, then, is it just today...the day of the Islamic terror attack in Orlando...that she is being banned, Facebook?

Again, Facebook is completely inconsistent in enforcing their "rules." This is yet another reason why many Conservatives feel like they're being "censored" on Facebook. If Pamela has "repeatedly posted things that are not allowed on Facebook" she would have (or should have) received prior "warnings" before receiving a 30-day ban. (I have, anyway. I've received a 3-day ban - about 3 months ago - for repeatedly posting too many links too fast, and in too many groups and pages. I presumed that if I hadn't stopped posting so much, I'd receive a longer ban the next time. So, I backed-off on posting so much and haven't had any more problems...yet.)

GOP-led Senate Panel Votes To Allow Women To Be Drafted Into War

As a woman...I've always wanted women to be ALLOWED into combat. However, I've never thought ANY woman should be "forced" into combat. There are just some women who wouldn't be able to hack it (as there are also a few men who can't). In fact, there are MANY MORE women who wouldn't be able to "hack it" than men.

Contrary to those who wish to no longer acknowledge the differences between the sexes...there is now, as there has always been and as there will always be, a difference. A BIG DIFFERENCE. And no amount of talking, changing opinions, or screaming about it will change that FACT.

From ABC News:
The GOP-led Senate Armed Services Committee has seconded a call by its counterpart in the House to require women to register for a military draft, setting the stage for a significant cultural change triggered by the Pentagon's decision to lift all gender-based restrictions on front-line combat units.

Any justification for barring women from draft registration was erased last year when the Pentagon announced all military jobs would be open to women, the committee said late Thursday in a summary of its annual defense policy bill. Women must begin to sign up with the Selective Service beginning in January 2018, according to the committee's measure.

Read the whole story here: Senate Panel Calls for Women to Sign up for Military Draft

We used to be able to count on the Republican Party to acknowledge this most basic of differences between humans. That is no longer the case...enjoy your "new Party," Trumpkins. I'll make sure to box-up some tooth paste and deodorant for your daughters when/if they're deployed to one of those lovely sand pits on the other side of the earth where they'll be surrounded by members of ISIS (etc.) who'd rather rape them than be forced to look at them while Trump is "knocking the hell out of ISIS" (Trump just said that again on Hannity a few minutes ago).

Enjoy your "new" Republican Party, Trumpkins! They're still continuing Obama's agenda (well, with the exception of 3 notable patriots as listed below). Should be fun when/if Trump takes over, eh?

The Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee and how they voted - to allow women to be drafted into war - is as follows:
NO - Cruz, Ted (TX)
NO - Rounds, Mike (SD)
NO - Lee, Mike (UT)
YES - McCain, John (AZ) , Chairman
YES - Inhofe, James M. (OK)
YES - Sessions, Jeff (AL)
YES - Wicker, Roger F. (MS)
YES - Ayotte, Kelly (NH)
YES - Fischer, Deb (NE)
YES - Cotton, Tom (AR)
YES - Ernst, Joni (IA)
YES - Tillis, Thom (NC)
YES - Sullivan, Dan (AK)
YES - Graham, Lindsey (SC)

I May Have Just Cast My Last Vote As A Republican

I just returned home from voting in the Nebraska Republican Primary. It may have been the last Republican Primary in which I'll vote. What happens in the presidential race over the next few months will ultimately determine what I'll choose to do.

As someone who is part Conservative and part Libertarian ("Conservatarian") I wont remain a part of a party that has already spit in my face and stabbed me in the back for the past several years by telling me that they'll uphold Conservative principles and then turns around and funds Obamacare. (I could list 50 other examples, but that's not what this post is about.) And, now, with the likely nomination of the liberal pig known as Donald Trump as the Republican candidate, there will be virtually zero left for me within the Republican party with him as the defacto leader of the party.

I'm not one that runs from a fight, in fact, if there isn't a "fight" to be had, I'm generally not at all enthusiastic about being a part of it. If the Republican Party chooses Trump as its nominee, they will have gone "full liberal." And, that's not a crowd I wish to stand alongside in any fight.

If I wanted to fight for and with liberals, I'd be a member of the Democrat Party.

All of the work done by the TEA Party over the past several years getting principled Conservatives elected to the House and Senate would have all been done for nothing if Donald Trump becomes president.

As of today, I'm still a registered Republican...and, I like having a primary in which to vote. Since there are primarily only two viable parties in this state (and in the country), I really don't like the idea of letting other people pick my president by abstaining from the Republican primary altogether. So, I'm not sure yet what I'll do. But, I'm certainly leaning heavily toward LEAVING the Republican Party. After all, it left me a long time ago.

I will wait until after the Republican National Convention in July to make my final decision. And, I may even wait until after the general election in November. But, I just wanted to put it "out there," that I'm seriously considering leaving the party. I know many others are currently struggling with this same decision.

If Ted Cruz Wins Nebraska Primary He May Re-enter Race (VIDEO)

Glenn Beck interviewed Texas Senator Ted Cruz today in a telephone interview on the Glenn Beck Radio Program.

Pat Gray asked Ted what he would do if he won the Nebraska Primary tonight.

Ted said if he won the Nebraska primary and could see a viable path to victory, he'd consider un-suspending his presidential campaign and re-enter the race.

Get out and vote for Ted Cruz today, Nebraska!!! I'll be voting for Ted in just a few hours.

Here's the relevant part of the interview:



Here's the full interview:


Vote for Ted Cruz!

Get To Know The Good Man You're Rejecting, America - Ted Cruz

This post is for all the people who've asked ME if I personally know Donald Trump...and, how can I possibly say anything bad about him if I don't? (As if they had to personally know Jeffrey Dahmer to decide that they didn't like him.) Well, the man who wrote the Facebook post below knows Ted Cruz. His name is Cecil Stinemetz. He was a driver for the Cruz campaign for the past several months.

Oh, and by the way, I CAN say that I know Donald Trump. He's been in my home, on and off, since I was 9 years old (his 1st national TV interview was in 1980). I guess that Trump's biggest supporters only began paying attention to anything "news-related" within the past 5-10 years? I've been watching and reading "the news" since probably 7th or 8th grade.

One Year Ago Today: Freedom Of Speech Was Attacked By ISIS & Donald Trump

One year ago today, was the attack on Pamela Geller's "Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest" in Garland, TX.

Pamela Geller has commemorated this date with the writing of an article which appears on her website as well as on Breitbart News: "Today is the first anniversary of the Islamic State’s first attack in the homeland."

Pamela's blog post begins this way (emphasis is mine):
Today is the one year anniversary of the jihadi attack on our free speech event in Garland, Texas. I know of no commemorations or remembrance of the brave Americans who staved off the attack in Garland. Unlike “Boston Strong” (they have been anything but), Garland was truly “Garland Strong. Taking out those jihadis was a real American response and we had the best of all possible outcomes. San Bernardino, Chattanooga were Garland without guns.

As for me, how am I commemorating? I am alive, that’s how.

And I, for one, am very thankful that Pamela's alive. She's a rare, gutsy gem in America today. She is a one-of-a-kind American treasure.

In Pamela's article today she addresses the treatment she received from many in the media and some in politics following the attack. She also chronicles nearly 80 other instances of jihad attacks in the United States that have occurred within the last year. Go HERE to see the list. It's jaw-dropping.

Now, because this is an election year and I've been focused solely on it here on my blog, that will not change in this post...

Following the jihadi attack in Garland, TX, Donald Trump spent the next few days smearing and belittling Pamela Geller for DARING to hold her event. He actually had the gall to call her an "obnoxious blowhard" (among other things) for hosting the event. In December 2015 I chronicled most of what Trump said about Pamela in the video below. I emailed the video to Pamela and she posted it on her blog and on all of her social media sites. She included the video again today in her commemoration of the 1st anniversary of the attack.

If there's one thing this video makes CLEAR, it's that Donald Trump loves his OWN freedom of speech, but he has little regard for the freedom of speech of others.


For contrast, Texas Senator Ted Cruz responded to the Garland attack this way:
"Thankfully one police officer helped them meet their virgins."

On May 10, 2015, Pamela Geller endorsed Ted Cruz for president.

Today, Pamela made two mentions of Trump. First, in her listing of those in the media and in politics who attacked her in the aftermath of the Garland event: "Donald Trump said I was an obnoxious blowhard (!) who was taunting Muslims." (That is the sentence on her blog that includes the link to my video today.) Secondly, here: "Ironically, Donald Trump is suffering the same abuse I received from him, for speaking candidly about jihad terror and Muslim immigration."

Good. If anyone deserves that kind of abuse, it's that ignorant bastard. Not Pamela Geller.

Heidi Cruz In Norfolk, Nebraska (VIDEO)

Hey...I live in Norfolk, NE and...

Heidi Cruz visited Norfolk, NE Monday night to deliver a speech on behalf of her husband and GOP presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). The speech took place at the "Black Cow Fat Pig" restaurant in downtown Norfolk.

Heidi's speech was 24-minutes long (see video below) and following it she spent more than the next 90-minutes doing a "meet and greet" with those who wished to meet her and have their picture taken with her or have a book-signed. I counted approximately 80 people present during the speech and I'd guess that there were at least that many that met her after the speech.

There was relatively little advance notice about this event that took place today...at least from my perspective, anyway. I found out about it about 3-4 hours before it started. A friend of mine had called to tell me about it and she told me that she had also called several other friends of hers to let them know and none of them knew it was taking place. Many of them wanted to attend and would have done so if they'd had more notice.

A few notes about Heidi: She's absolutely genuine. She struck me as someone who is very down-to-earth and very approachable. She was very receptive, very friendly, and as genuine as you would HOPE that she would be. I was thoroughly impressed with her. (There's been one other person I've met in my life who also gave me the exact same impression as did Heidi Cruz...and, that was Sarah Palin - whom I've met twice.)

I spoke with Heidi for about 2 1/2 minutes and we discussed a few of the surprising things that have occurred this election season...some of the people who's endorsements have surprised us and some of the once stalwart "conservative" media that apparently is NOT what we thought it was. I said to her "the line is being drawn in the sand on the Conservative side of things and once this is over, we're all going to have a much better idea of exactly where people stand." I came away from our "meet" with the distinct impression that she agreed with that statement.

I was honored to have the opportunity to meet her. Thank you Heidi for coming to Norfolk.

What The Trump Crowd Doesn't "Get" About Politics ("You Must Be Voting For Hillary?")

Poor Ben Carson appeared with Hannity last night and made this "brilliant" suggestion:

“I’m starting to think that many of the so-called ‘Republican establishment’ – of course they say there is no such thing, 'we don’t exist,' but we know they do.

I believe that many of them would prefer to have Hillary in there, than to have Donald Trump.

Because she is part of the political establishment and can be controlled, whereas Donald Trump cannot be controlled.

And they’re not interested in – Democrats or Republicans in the ruling class – of having somebody that they can’t control.”



My problem with what Ben said is this:

62+ Reasons I Will NEVER Vote For Trump & Don't Understand Why ANYONE Would

Another reason not to vote for him.

I will never vote for Donald Trump for many reasons. The following list of reasons is my own and they are NOT listed in any order of importance to me. They are ALL important as together they ALL speak to the type of individual for whom I will never vote.
