Conservative Conspiracies Flourishing Online

OPINION

I think I'm becoming a minority among Conservatives...because I don't buy into conspiracies. I can't tell you how sick and tired I am of ALL the conspiracy bulls__t that Conservatives are spreading in greater and greater numbers. I see it posted everywhere on Facebook and elsewhere online. It's so disheartening to see so many people wasting their time (and that of others). I've been seeing it for months/years now and I'm tired of it, so, as is typical of me, I thought I'd blog about it. There's your warning. Incoming!!! Take cover!!!

Those of you that engage in spreading these falsehoods are as dangerous as those that manipulate stories to fit their agenda (which is essentially what you are doing). You're no better than MSNBC, NBC, CNN and others that have intentionally and with-intent manipulated pictures, audio and video, and have intentionally mis-reported the facts of a story.

You're wasting your time (and the time of others) and if you keep it up you're going to be regarded as being JUST as conspiratorial as the entire Middle East and as "influential" as the main-stream media here in the United States. Conspiracies rule the Mid-East. Are you attempting to become them? Are you HELPING THEM further their agenda by posting these conspiracies? Are you attempting to bolster the legitimacy of the MSM? I fear that may be the result of your actions.

I have no proof of this. This is my opinion, because...I just don't see how your continuing to spread vast fabrications (as in the Mid-East) which contain zero supporting evidence (as the MSM regularly fails to include) could possibly result in strengthening your original intent of "getting the truth out". If you want to "spread the truth" there is an obligation to INCLUDE it in what you're posting. Your opinion is no more fact than is my opinion. (And, this post is my opinion - even though I know I speak for other Conservatives who are just as tired of reading your conspiratorial postings online. I usually just shake my head in disappointment and shame and try to ignore what I see that you've posted. This time, I'm writing about it.)

I know you think that something you've (or someone else) have (has) conjured up in your (their) mind is the "answer" to all the questions you have about our government. You've been wrong for so long that you must not even bother to even check out your previous claims anymore (if you ever did in the 1st place). I have. You're wrong. And, you're wrong often. Although, I must say, at the same time, you're often asking questions to which NO ONE will receive an answer because your questions are often so off-base they are NEVER addressed by anyone ever. OR, your questions are based on "early reporting" which most people KNOW is UNRELIABLE and dismiss it as such. For some reason, mis-statements made early-on during breaking news are like a "gold strike" for conspriacists." One would think, as thinking beings, that they'd know better. But, I digress.

Just because you have doubts about "the official story" does not mean you're engaging in conspiracy. However, when you relate your, or someone else's, OPINION of a particular story as FACT you are engaging in conspiracy. Questioning your government is what you as an American Citizen are supposed to do. Stating your doubts as fact, is not. Belittling and/or simply dismissing those that disagree with what you've bought into is also not something you are supposed to do...on a human level.



"Don't read it."???
How about YOU stop spreading the BS in the first place? (And making yourself sound like a truther...unless, of course, you're into that kind of thing.)

Or, maybe the "Don't read it" comment was the ANSWER to my question:
Q: How do you think this admin could carry this out?
A: Don't read it.
Result: Sheer brilliance. Now I'm convinced. (duh)

I know the intent of the person that posted the "Don't read it" comment - to get me to move along and stop questioning what they're attempting to pass along because they possess ZERO hard evidence to back it up.......other than the conjecture of the other "not seated-in-reality" (aka, "crazy") folks with whom they concur. I've dealt with "truthers" online for more than 10 years. I know the modus operandi of a conspiracy theorist quite well, thank you. The fact that I'm in their heads is what pisses them off the most when I comment on their posts - they know I know - but they don't know how I know - they just know to try to dismiss me EARLY. Oh, it's a "fun" game. I've learned to never converse with "truthers" (or Ron Paul supporters or Alex Jones fans) because the conversation ALWAYS winds up in an un-ending circular affair that just winds up pissing-off both sides. The conspiracist NEVER answers the questions I pose (because they can't) and ALL they reply with are dismissals or MORE QUESTIONS (to which any sane person would NEVER respond). (See the example in the Facebook post above.)

Below is the video that was included in the above Facebook post:


To those of you Conservatives who post this kind of thing online: Do you remember when you first heard the 9/11 truthers and how STUPID you thought they sounded? Those of you who re-post this junk, you sound exactly like them to the rest of us. Exactly. (Naturally, the video above is especially nice because one of the callers to C-Span in the video actually quotes the master-truther Alex Jones of InfoWars.com fame. Everything...EVERYTHING is a conspiracy to that NUT and to the lost souls that buy into his tripe.)

I understand that I'm in the minority in many of the Facebook groups in which I will post this blog post. I don't care. Those of you that keep spreading this kind of tripe (for which there is little to ZERO evidence), you sound dumber than hell to me. I don't care if your thoughts about me are reciprocated. If I have to stand alone on this, I'm fine with that. At least I'm not helping to further the agenda of the Obama administration by further dividing this country with the LIES and bulls___ that YOU spread and I'm also not helping to further the agenda of terrorists who hate the United States of America (which, apparently, is damn near the same agenda as the Obama administration - knocking this country down a few pegs would be a delight to them, too).

I'll leave you with this quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer:

"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak, is to speak. Not to act is to act."

I've spoken.
I've acted.
I've done so under which what I hold to be "The Truth".
You'll continue to do what you will.
I'm not so misguided to think that one of my simple blog posts could change that.
Time will tell how your continual spreading of lies affects the Unites States of America.
There's plenty of hard-sourced truth for you to spread.
The questions remain:
Are you capable of finding that truth and passing it along?
If not, could you lose your country?
It really could be that simple.
Will you be held responsible?
I, for one, will hold you partly responsible.

Story Keeps Disappearing: "Saudi National Questioned in Boston was on Terror Watch List" By Todd Starnes

Two times today Drudge has posted a story written by FOX News Radio's Todd Starnes about the Saudi national that was questioned in the Boston bombings having been on the terror watch list. Each of those stories have been removed.

Here is how the story appears on the Drudge Report right now (and how it has appeared for much of today):


The first time Drudge linked to it, the story was posted on FOX News Radio at this link: http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/saudi-national-questioned-in-boston-was-on-terror-watch-list.html When you click that link you see this:



After that link at FOX News was broken, Drudge soon posted the same headline with a new link, this time on Town Hall with this link: http://townhall.com/columnists/toddstarnes/2013/04/22/saudi-national-questioned-in-boston-attack-was-on-terror-watch-list-n1574863 However, now when you click on that link above, the story has disappeared AGAIN and you see only a list of Todd's previous entries on Town Hall as evidenced below:



Thanks to Google's cache, below you can see how Todd's story originally appeared on FOX News Radio's website (2 images below):

(Full Story - Image 1 of 2)


(Full Story - Image 2 of 2)


Why does this story keep disappearing from the internet? As of this moment, I'm unsure if it exists anywhere other than on a few blogs. Atlas Shrugs is one blog that re-posted Todd's article in its entirety.

The Blaze has MUCH, MUCH more on this story here: Beck Breaks Exclusive Information on Saudi National Once Considered a Person of Interest in Boston Bombings and HERE.

The "Man In The Cowboy Hat" - Boston First Responder & Hero

If you've seen the GRAPHIC pictures today (at the bottom of this post) from the Boston Marathon bombing of the man in the wheelchair who had both of his legs blown off, you may have noticed the "man in the cowboy hat" who was pinching off the victim's femoral artery in his hand while walking beside the victim's wheelchair.

I became aware of the "man in the cowboy hat" by checking out Drudge's Facebook page tonight. I wasn't aware of him until I did...because when I saw the pictures earlier today I wasn't really looking at anyone in the pictures except the victim (then I took a break to prevent myself from throwing up - they are graphic pics - I'm not kidding).

Below is an interview with the "man in the cowboy hat". According to the title of the video on YouTube, his name is Carlos Arredondo. Make no mistake about it. Carlos is a FIRST RESPONDER and a HERO.

*****DO NOT SCROLL DOWN IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE GRAPHIC PHOTOS*****

"Man in the cowboy hat..."


This is how the video and pictures appeared on Drudge's Facbook page:

H/T www.DrudgeReport.com

Prayers go out to all those suffering tonight and for the months and years to come as a result of the attack today.

Also, thank God for people like Carlos Arredondo, the "man in the cowboy hat".

***UPDATE 1*** 8:49AM April 16, 2013
TheBlaze has more about Carlos Arredondo.

***UPDATE 2*** 1:57AM April 17, 2013
The victim in the wheelchair is Jeff Bauman, Jr. The International Business Times (IBT) has much more information on him. He is alive. He has undergone 2 surgeries. His father is keeping people up-to-date on his son's condition via his own facebook page. Again, check out the post from the IBT.

Crazy North Korea

I've been fascinated by North Korea for a few years now. Over the past 5 years or so, when I have "down-time" and don't feel like watching regular TV I watch online videos or read news stories about North Korea. I've come to realize that the level of brainwashing at work in that country may be on the largest scale ever in my lifetime (2nd only to that of the brainwashed masses across the globe that buy into the "global warming" hoax).

I believe the leaders (past & present) of North Korea were/are brainwashed - so, in my opinion, all that North Korea amounts to is "the brainwashed leading the brainwashed". I'm sure there are exceptions to the opinion I just stated. I believe there are ALWAYS exceptions to every "rule". However, I do believe that the vast majority of the people in the country are nothing but brainwashed, denied information, starving, & have zero freedom. I also understand that a certain number of the people of North Korea know that they have to "go along to get along" in order to remain alive. But the fact that so many of them "go along" is where the brainwashing on a mass-scale comes into effect.

They are not allowed access to information other than that generated by their own government. They have very little food. They have no right to ask for, much less demand, anything. The few that have attempted to simply survive by relying on their own ingenuity, for example, by hopping across the border into China to earn money or to gather food, they and three generations of their family are imprisoned upon their return to North Korea...often never to be seen or heard from again. No one knows whether they are languishing in the numerous concentration camps currently in operation within the country or if they were killed.

1 - An escapee tells of life and death in North Korea's labor camps
2 - Concentration Camps
3 - North Korea’s Gulags
4 - On the Map: Five Major North Korean Prison Camps
5 - The villages turned into CONCENTRATION CAMPS in North Korea as brutal regime struggles to house hundreds of thousands of political prisoners
6 - No Exit: Inside Look at a Prison Camp in North Korea
7 - North Korean Prison Camps Are 'Like Hitler's Auschwitz')

Rumors of cannibalism within North Korea have circulated for many years.

1 - Cannibalism Reported in North Korea (1998)
2 - Cannibalism in North Korea prisons? Ex-inmate: 'Brothers ate their own brothers in order to survive' (2003)
3 - The Cannibals of North Korea (2013))

The style of propaganda that comes out of North Korea is nothing BUT laughable. I would think that the attempts by North Korea to "control the message" of those that are allowed to visit North Korea would be embarrassing to those truly skilled in the creation of the art of propaganda OR that of brainwashing. (Numerous examples of propaganda and attempts to "control the message" are contained in the 2 different documentaries included at the end of this article.)

Yet, the United Nations, the United States, and other countries think they can control North Korea with "sanctions" as it threatens the world with the use of nuclear weapons. Perhaps our own (U.S.) government is more brainwashed & susceptible to propaganda than I've ever previously considered...?

1 - American Hostility: US Financial Sanctions against North Korea and the Nuclear Issue
2 - North Korea Sanctions (U.S. Department of Treasury website)
3 - Inside North Korea: Shock video and photos show true horror of Kim Jong-un's evil regime

After all, if you attempt to control "crazy" what does that make you?



The video below is a documentary hosted by Lisa Ling for National Geographic Explorer from February of 2007. The IMDB description of this video is as follows:

Posing as a medical coordinator, Lisa Ling gains access to North Korea offering viewers a chance to see inside the "Hermit Kingdom".

The most prescient few lines stated by Ling within the documentary are at the conclusion when she states:

As I watched 100's of people do and say virtually the same thing, over and over and over again, I wondered which people had genuine faith (in the Dear Leader) and which were acting out of fear. And finally it hit me, here, after generations of absolute rule and complete indoctrination, there may not be a difference between true belief and true fear. North Korea is a place ruled by an absolute dictator who now possesses nuclear weapons. It's no longer possible to regard the country as an isolated anomaly. What happens here in the "Hermit Kingdom" can directly touch everyone in the world. (2007)

If you wish to view more documentaries about North Korea there are many different videos from many different perspectives available on YouTube.

If I had to suggest a documentary for you to put on your list, I'd suggest "Inside North Korea" from VICE Travel. The documentary is just under one-hour long and it is posted on YouTube in 3 parts. I've posted all three parts below.

Part 1 of 3:

I Am A First Responder...To Gun Violence

November of 2005: Two friends and I are sitting at the bar in our low-crime-rate city at The 5th Street Tavern after work on a mid-Saturday afternoon when a man opens the bar's front door and yells "I've been shot! Call 911!" My friends and I turn our heads and look at the man standing in the doorway and recognize him as the owner of the barbershop next door. We know of the "strained relationship" he's had in the past with The 5th Street Tavern in which we are currently sitting.

At first everyone in the bar thinks he is making some sort of odd joke...then, some of us realize it's NOT a joke when we see the blood dripping from his stomach. At the same time as our realization that he's NOT joking he closes the front door to the bar and goes back to his barbershop, next door. I and the proprietor of the bar follow him into his business where he had just been robbed at gunpoint (which we didn't know) and shot in the stomach for trying to defend himself by grabbing the gun of a would-be-thief. The gun went off and struck Dick Adams, the owner of Dick's Barbershop, in his stomach. One of the bar patrons calls 911.

The owner of the barber shop, Dick Adams is stumbling around looking for the pieces of his shattered cellphone amidst the shards of his large broken "barbershop mirror" (a big, thick mirror) when the only two of us that went to help him, Paula and I, enter his business. It appeared to us as though the mirror had been shot. Dick was searching for the pieces of his cellphone amongst the shattered remains of his mirror on the floor of his shop while his blood is dripping out of his stomach all over his tile floor. He knew his cellphone had been shattered when he threw it at the thief...but, he was still trying to pick up its pieces and make a call to 911. We assure him that 911 has been called. We also know he is bleeding quite a bit and that we should do whatever we can to stop it. While Paula searches for his barbershop towels, I make him sit down in one of his vinyl-covered "customer chairs" and assure him that the "first responders" are on their way. Paula finds his towels and Dick holds them against his own stomach while the "first responders" have yet to arrive.

The Fire Department is physically located 2 BLOCKS from his business...yet, it takes, what SEEMS like about 10-15 minutes for them to "respond first" to the scene (it realize that it was probably only about 7 minutes or so - but WAAAY too long for a Fire House that was only 2 blocks away - I understand the situation as someone who has listened to a scanner for 20 yrs - I know how things go - but, it was way too long for a response to a shooting in a town our size, in my opinion).

I had to "make" the shooting victim sit down by physically holding my hand on his shoulder until the police and ambulance arrived - while explaining to him that "the ambulance must have been out at the hospital which was across town and just over 2 miles away" (through "city traffic" - in a town of 25K). *drip drip* "I know it seems like they should be here by now. *drip drip* They were probably 'all the way' out at the hospital and it's going to be a few minutes before they can get here. *drip* They must be coming all the way from the hospital. *drip drip* Hang on. *drip* You're doing just fine. *drip drip* Just stay seated until they get here." *drip* (Then THEY can make you sit down!)

To this day I STILL can't believe how CALM I was. I was helping a bleeding, "gut-shot" shooting victim survive (he was shot twice in the stomach). It was surreal.

Paula later recalled the 18-year-old gunman riding his bike past her mere minutes earlier, from in-between the two buildings, as she was outside depositing the trash from the bar. At that very moment, she had no idea that he'd just shot the man that had ran the next-door business for the past 30 years or so. She tossed a bag of garbage into a dumpster and a kid on a bike rode past her...no big deal. At the time.

The police never did speak to me that day...anymore than they had spoken to any of the other bar patrons, that is. Even though I was one of two first responders to the scene (Paula & I). The police (Detective Donnie Thorson) had come into the bar (after they'd arrived on the scene and told us to leave the scene) to gather the names of witnesses and us two "FIRST RESPONDERS" (Paula & I). Detective Thorson told me that I'd need to stop by the police division "later" (I should call first) so they could take imprints of my shoes (because I'd been on the scene and they'd need to eliminate my shoe prints in evidence). I called the police division a few hours later to see if they were ready to take those impressions of my shoes. No one at the PD had a clue to what I was referring. (What the hell else did they have going on that day???) They checked with the detectives and determined that the impressions of my shoes wouldn't be necessary after all. It seemed as though they had captured the suspect after a Nebraska State Patrol helicopter had helped to locate the suspect who had been hiding within the downtown area (or so I heard) - yes, this was a "big deal" for our little town...at the time...(it's funny what you remember more than 8-years after-the-fact, isn't it?)

It'd be true to say that this, by far, wasn't the only gun crime that had affected our "little" town of 25,000 (I come from a town of 400), but it was the most recent...and the most-personal, for me. September 26, 2002 3 ignorant loons entered a bank here and extinguished 5 souls...and got away with no money. It is regarded as ONE of the deadliest bank shootings in all of American history. Usually "bank robbers" want money. All the fools on this day got were 5 souls (and 3 "death sentences" - they're still alive - a 4th, who was their "lookout", is serving life).

What is the point of this post, you ask?

I just wanted to tell my story as a FIRST RESPONDER to a gun crime. I wonder if the SECOND RESPONDERS (police & rescue/ambulance) have a different story from that shooting on that day on which I was a witness? I just told you my story. Paula, as the other FIRST RESPONDER, may have a different recollection (but it wouldn't be much different - it's been a couple years since her and I have discussed it). I'd love for her to share it in the comments below. One thing that I know is that I was never personally thanked by Dick Adams for my actions that day. As far as I know, he's never heard my name. That's a bit disheartening, but, hey...I behaved in a manner that most in the bar that day (including my two friends) didn't. That's worth something. I hope that someone like Paula or myself would be present if family or friends of mine were ever shot.......and THEY needed a FIRST RESPONDER.

When "life happens", those of us that are present are the FIRST RESPONDERS. We all should be able to handle/deal with such an event. More of us should carry guns...as they did in the Wild West. There was far less gun crime when everyone carried a gun...and didn't have to pay $300.00 to be able to do so.

"...Shall not be infringed..."

It is irresponsibility at it's finest for YOU to NOT protect YOURSELF. Who are YOU to put YOUR PROTECTION on the shoulders of someone ELSE??? YOU have a DUTY to guard your OWN LIFE. It's selfish of you to think that others SHOULD protect you. YOU want to live? Protect YOURSELF!!! Don't wait 10-minutes for the police to respond to the crime that has been committed against you. I love the police. But, they're there to RESPOND. Which is why THEY are called "first responders"...not us.

The more facts you have about any given subject, the less ignorant you are.

Arm yourself or remain a perpetual victim.

Concealed carry laws are an abomination. Taking the course isn't the problem. The fact that I have to pay $300.00 FOR the course is an infringement of my 2nd Amendment right to carry.

"...Shall not be infringed..."

Hate Wins On The Left...It's All They Know...Keep Sharing

Hate speaks. Loudly. And, it's gaining traction.

The nasty anti-Palin blog known as "The Immoral Minority" has a lot of traffic. Why is that? Is it just because the the "leader" of that pack (Gryphen) has a good sense of humor (depending on your tolerance level) and knows how to connect with those that understand "sharing" a blog post or is it because he/she is a nasty-ass individual who has garnered a following of like-minded cretins (who know how to share a blog post)? I'll presume that it's the latter. And, I must say, it makes me sick to my stomach.

Right now I'm listening to the "live Feedjit feed" (you have to "turn sounds on" after you click on the link in order to "listen") that is attached to The Immoral Minority blog. I happened upon a "Sarah Palin story" via somewhere on the internet...who cares where...and I clicked on the live Feedjit feed that is associated with the blog. It amazes me that someone who can pass along such hate and disdain for another individual can gain so much traction...and web traffic. HATE, REAL hate is ALIVE AND WELL IN AMERICA and it is evidenced by that nasty-ass blog.

My blog, the one you're reading now, is a teeny tiny example for you to use as a comparison of the aforementioned blog...but, if you're curious, turn on the sounds on my blog's live Feedjit feed. You'll notice a scary difference to that of the feed on The Immoral Minority...if you agree with me, that is. If not...if you don't agree with me, you'll like the sounds you hear from my blog...in comparison my live feed sounds more like crickets chirping. Keep sharing, conservatives. You've got this game down PAT! (Sarcasm is my friend, btw.)

Tonight I wound up on The Immoral Minority's waste-of-bandwidth website by clicking on something somewhere that linked to a story about Sarah Palin...who had given a speech at an event to benefit the Terry Schiavo Life & Hope Network. How AWFUL of Sarah, right? Right? What a bitch! (I'm purposefully NOT providing you a link to their story. You want to read that tripe? Google it.)

The very blog you're on now has been the subject of an Immoral Minority story in the past...a couple times. Of course, their linking to my blog generated much (unwanted) traffic to my own blog. Quantity, not quality, is what was passed my way. Oh well, a "page view" is a page view...so, thank you you losers for linking to my blog in the past. But, I digress.

You people that frequent the Immoral Minority have got to be some of the most lecherous "humans" on the planet. No, you're not outwardly (at least, not yet) supporting the deaths of 100's of thousands, if not millions, of others...but, I suspect/know that it wouldn't take much for the likes of you to reach the point at which you would. (Your kind outwardly supports the political ideologies that have killed the most humans throughout history - socialism/communism/Marxism. Your very president supports many of those same principles.) You folks make me sick.

I know liberals and I know Democrats and you scumbags that frequent The Immoral Minority are neither. You are scum. You should be treated as scum. I think you should be eliminated from the planet. Hopefully the "tracking system" that Google and the Obama administration has put in place to monitor ALL online traffic will be able to be utilized by the next Republican President to take you OUT. Thank you for not fighting the good fight right now. We shall utilize your innocuous behavior in the future. Good little drones. Thank you. To HELL with the Bill of Rights, right? Can you say "Patriot Act"?

Tick. Tock.

In the meantime, I'll keep my finger OFF the trigger (as a responsible gun owner) and keep all my guns well-oiled, thank you very much.

If I don't have a 2nd Amendment, you don't have a 1st. You should remember that. Of course, if there isn't a video of a group of parents of recently-murdered children to attach to one of your most recent legislative desires (gun control), it really doesn't have any standing with any of your brethren, does it? You all should thank Adam Lanza for taking a gun into the Sandy Hook school and using it, huh? Without him, what would would be your goal today? You should award HIM a posthumous Nobel Prize...he's JUST as deserving as Obama...if not more (to your kind, that is).

Jim Carrey - Professional Douchebag - Loves Free Speech, Hates Guns

***LANGUAGE WARNING***
Hollywood jackass Jim Carrey thinks we need to know or that we care what his opinion is about guns and gun owners. He made a little song and video for us. I'll describe it for you: Blah, blah...2nd Amendment and those that support or recognize it are bad...blah, blah. Hee Haw...blah...Charlton Heston didn't go to heaven because the angels couldn't pry that gun from his cold, dead hands...blah, blah..."with your cold, dead, aim you try to prove your dick is bigger"..."you're a big, big man with a little bitty gland so ya need somethin' bigger to fill your hand"...blah, blah.....blah.....what an asshole.

Jim, how many armed guards protect you when you go out? How many armed guards do you employ? How many times have you glorified guns in your movies? You are just another in a long line of worthless Hollywood hypocrites. I'm so sick and tired of you and others like you feeling it is your duty to lecture the rest of us. Shut the fuck up. Go make your stupid little movies and keep including the exact same "jokes" and tired mannerisms that have been in all of your little shows and keep your sickening opinions to yourself. Nobody asked you for your opinion. Nobody cares about your opinion. Go plunge your face and make those same stupid faces that you used to practice in front of your mirror before anyone even knew your name. Keep doing that stuff. That's what you're paid to do. As for your opinions, take all of them and stick them up your ass. Nobody cares what you think!

"First Amendment ALL GOOD!
Second Amendment ALL BAD!"
Signed,
Jim Carrey
(Simpleton)

Here's Jim's stupid/condescending/immature/idiotic/simple-minded/stereotypical "song":

Cold Dead Hand with Jim Carrey from Jim Carrey

Gandhi, John Lennon, Abe Lincoln were all killed by gunfire. Ha ha. Cute joke including them in your little video, Jim.

Jim, GUNS are what made it possible for you to be a condescending, rude jackass who can disseminate his disturbed opinion freely.

If the country didn't get to see such fine images as these, how would we survive?



What kind of a fine mind does it take to come up with this? Jim Carrey as "Charlton Heston" using his gun as an extension of his penis. Wow. What about women that use guns? How does Jim's "penis logic" apply to us? Our usage of guns and support of the 2nd Amendment is an extension of what, Jimmy?



Jim Carrey as "Charlton Heston" attempting to masturbate his "gun".
Yes, I'd say Jim has more than just the one mental problem.



Right back at you, you douchebag.


Jim, it's got to be a bit surreal when you begin defining yourself via your own 20-year-old, not-in-demand movies:



Jim, if there's ever another revolution in this country, I know which side you'll be on...and that makes me happy.

There Is NO Censorship Of Conservatives By Facebook - READ Before Commenting! (Or I WILL Censor You)

Last night while in one of the closed (aka, inaccessible unless you are a member) Facebook groups of which I am a member, I participated in a discussion about whether or not it is Conservatives or Liberals who are actually "winning" online and about the supposed "censorship of Conservatives" by Facebook. I, a Conservative, contend that Facebook does NOT censor the posts of Conservatives. Below is the long reply I had to the mild insinuation by another member (who tolerates me well and shall remain unnamed here by me) that Facebook may be censoring Conservatives. (By the way, I had to post it as two separate comments because there is an 8,000-character limit on ALL Facebook comments.) It's now 3:20AM, I have to work in 4 hours, and I'm not going to edit the entire comment I just left on Facebook for purposes of posting it here on my blog. I'm posting it here essentially as I posted it just minutes ago posted it on Facebook.

Comment I left on Facebook regarding Facebook's purported "censorship of Conservatives":


As far as the "security scares".....UGH!
I'm going to be frank & hold nothing back here (this will be loooooooooong):
I'm SOOOOOOO SICK & TIRED of hearing this crap from conservatives!!! It's been going on for the past FOUR YEARS!!! Will it only STOP when an "republican" is in the damned white house again???

There are ALGORITHMS & "Anti-SPAM" technology that ALL of these damned companies (Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) use for implementing ALL of their "security measures". The fact that there are a SIGNIFICANT number of people in the conservative movement that ACTUALLY BELIEVE that Facebook, with their BILLION USERS, is actually MONITORING the posts of a FEW (relative to the BILLION users on Facebook) is downright embarrassing and disappointing.

IF you really want to know WHY so many conservative posts get flagged, it's because THE LIBERALS ARE FLAGGING THEM!!! Which is ONE OF THE REASONS I KEEP SAYING THAT WE'RE LOSING THE ONLINE BATTLE.

In the algorithms that these companies use, once a post has been flagged enough times (by the a$$holes on the left that DETEST an opposing point of view & believe that THEY are the ONLY ONES that should be able to express their opinions freely) it is "reported" or "marked as spam" (for lack of a better way to explain it - think of my explanation here as a "remedial" understanding/explanation of how this stuff works) and from that point on, once a post (a link) has been "flagged" or "marked", ANYTIME someone posts it (doesn't matter WHO posts it, they can be "restricted" for sharing SPAM by Facebook (or Twitter, or YouTube, or wherever)!

IT IS NOT THE CONTENT of the post. It is the DETECTION SOFTWARE/ALGORITHM THAT FACEBOOK and OTHERS are using that is the problem!!! (And, with them constantly being accused of censoring us, what the hell motivation do they really have to be "good actors" and FIX THE DAMNED PROBLEM??? Yes, that's a piss-poor excuse for them to NOT fix it. NO, I'm NOT making excuses for them. But, if YOU ran this company & were CONSTANTLY being accused of things you weren't doing, how motivated would YOU be to FIX it? I wouldn't be AT ALL.)

A perfect example of this is that "Kill Mitt Romney" page that was up on Facebook for a brief time during the campaign. Here's a blog post I did about it (1 of 2): http://www.nebraskattitude.blogspot.com/2012/08/kill-mitt-romney-facebook-page.html

Here's the 2nd blog post I did about it: http://nebraskattitude.blogspot.com/2012/08/facebook-approves-death-threat-against.html (both of these blog posts are a mess - I had to make so many updates to them that they both look like hell...but, the page was finally taken down...AFTER ENOUGH PEOPLE REPORTED THE PAGE!!!)


==========

The long & the short of it is this: Liberals don't have to be TOLD to "report" something. Liberals don't have to be told HOW to report something. They see something with which they disagree and THEY REPORT IT!!! That's why there are so many MORE conservative postings that get brought to the attention of Facebook due to all the repeated reporting/flagging...for which those conservatives who then share those posts get punished. The same thing happens on YouTube. (I've not seen it personally on Twitter, but I'll bet my LIFE that the EXACT SAME THING happens there...and on every other social networking site that is in existence.) You just wait until the liberals inundate that new Tea Party site...they're going to have one hell of a time figuring out how to handle those jerks.

============

I've not been to the new Tea Party social networking site because I want to wait until they get all of their "bugs" worked out before I join it - it's still in its "beta" version - I want to wait a bit yet to join - maybe posts CAN'T be "flagged" or "reported" over there - which will be a HUGE mistake if that's the case - all kinds of libs POSING as conservatives (to make conservatives look bad) will inundate that site and post all kinds of awful racist, sexist, anti-woman, (you know the drill) stuff...it would be an absolute NIGHTMARE to deal with withOUT some sort of an algorithm that helps the site in removing that kind of disgusting content......because, even with their 50,000 members, NO ONE has the TIME to PHYSICALLY "monitor" everything that is posted! (Which is WHY algorithms are used!)

The new TP site was just posted on TheBlaze today: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/01/31/conservatives-launch-new-social-network-to-escape-facebook-censorship/ I'll promise you, liberals are going to FLOCK to it. It's going to go through some growing pains over the next few months...never mind the fact that Facebook will most likely SUE THEM for COPYING their premise/look/feel/functions. Yep. I'm waiting to join so that I don't waste yet more time on another "social networking" site as I did with FreedomTorch...what a joke that place turned out to be. Last time I was there (I don't even know it it still exists) it was over-run with birthers and people who bought into nearly every single conspiracy that exists. I HATE CONSPIRACIES, so I quit using it. There are ACTUAL THINGS that BO &/or his administration &/or Congress do on a daily basis that I don't WASTE MY TIME on conspiracies!!! And, I HATE seeing when others do!!! It's SUCH a WASTE!!!

============

If more conservatives would ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND HOW this stuff works online, they wouldn't be on the receiving end of all the "censorship", they'd be dishing it out (ie, reporting the left for their posts with which we disagree). OH, and one more thing...conservatives will have to become vindictive, evil, hateful, self-absorbed, whiny little bitches - in other words, they'd have to begin to ACT like liberals in order to begin "dishing it out" on Facebook & elsewhere. Trying to teach conservatives anything or lead conservatives ANYWHERE is like herding cats...so, good luck with that. I know this from the experience I gained in working with THIS GROUP.....WE QUESTION EVERYTHING. (Can't "teach" us...we have too many questions.) We FIND OUR OWN WAY to where we want to go. (Can't "lead" us...we already know how to get there.) Overall, it's a futile game trying to "organize" independent-thinking people. "Organizing" works VERY WELL with those on the left.....they don't have NEAR the questions that we do & they WANT SOMEONE TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO! I think some of them actually LIVE for it - they WANT "Big Brother" showing them the way. We don't trust like that - it's not in our DNA - we know to question everything - we don't want someone telling us what to do - we'll figure it out for ourselves - we "doubt" those that say they have all the answers - we don't like someone who thinks they DO have all the answers; WE actually mock them; the left ANOINTS them.

I've come to all these conclusions based on the experiences that I'VE had online...both on Facebook & on YouTube. I've probably posted more on Facebook over the past 4 years than 95% of conservatives that are ON Facebook. (My personal posting record was 138 posts on the day of the Obamacare vote - yes, I went back & counted them!) Just for the record - I've NEVER been prohibited from making my postings on Facebook. The ONLY time I've ever had ANY kind of "restriction" from posting on Facebook was when I was doing postings for our Earthquake group - I'd been posting the SAME LINK over & over & over & over again on a FEW pages I hadn't "liked" PRIOR to my posting those links on ALL those pages (probably 10-15 pages or so). I got a "warning to slow down" - I "slowed down" (stopped for the night) & then resumed posting after a couple of days - AND, WHEN I RESUMED POSTING, I "LIKED" all the pages I wanted to post on PRIOR to posting on them - I NEVER saw that warning again. Others say they did. I didn't. At that time several other members in our group were doing more posting on Facebook pages than I.

I HAVE seen that "warning" when going around to all the GROUPS I'm in - after I'd complete a blog post I'd go to 10- 15 different GROUPS (not PAGES) on Facebook and post the same LINK & comment in EVERY GROUP.....sometimes I'd have to fill-out that "captcha" thingy - BECAUSE OF THE LINK I WAS POSTING. Didn't matter that it was a link to MY blog or a link to a video on MY YouTube channel (all videos on YouTube have the same kind of url - there is ZERO specificity as to WHICH YouTube CHANNEL a url comes from. Every video has this: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" followed by the video ID which is made-up of a series of numbers & letters. If that same video is embedded on a website, that url looks like this: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=" again, followed by the video ID. There is NO WAY of telling WHAT YouTube channel posted ANY particular video - until you actually VISIT the link. So, there was NO "CENSORSHIP" (warning) of my postings by Facebook for THE CONTENT of what I was posting. I received the "warning" and had to fill out the "captcha" because of the repetitive posting of SAME LINK (whether it was from my blog OR from my YouTube channel).

But, no one had time to "report" or "flag" my postings because they were freshly-created links! Then WHY did I see the "captcha"? BECAUSE OF THE ALGORITHMS UTILIZED BY FACEBOOK - in my particular case, posting freshly-created urls, it was the ANTI-SPAM technology that Facebook utilizes. It had ZERO to do with my CONTENT!!! (They couldn't TELL what the CONTENT was of the links I was posting to my YouTube videos.) And, again, I was prevented ONE TIME (because I stopped posting ON MY OWN after seeing the "warning" because I didn't WANT to be blocked from posting by fb) out of the thousands & thousands of times I've posted on Facebook (because I was posting the same link over & over & over on pages I had not "liked" BEFORE I posted on them).

Bah. I'm done for tonight/this AM. If you have questions, ask. I gotta go to bed.

Facebook isn't censoring conservatives. Period.
Liberals are WINNING by REPORTING conservatives TO Facebook. Exclamation point. ;)




Organizing Conservatives? Herding cats MAY be easier.

If Only More School Boards Had This Much Sense...

A school board in Montpelier, Ohio has exhibited so much common sense over the past few days that Obama may have to issue an executive order just to deal with them. What did they do? They are allowing their 4 custodians (only) to carry handguns in their school.

I think arming school personnel is such a good idea - I've actually been thinking about this for months. If I had my way, any staff member of every school in the country could be armed. (And, if they don't pass the background check what are they doing working in our schools?) I don't want anyone to be forced to carry a gun - I just want those who work in schools who would be willing to protect the innocent to be allowed to do so. (I actually have an accompanying idea that would require the "lockdown" of the gun - on the person - of all that carry guns in schools to make them inaccessible to everyone but the carrier. I'm not ready to share that idea just yet...I may never be. If/when I am, I'll post it here.)

Until guns appear with multiple, properly-trained adults at random locations within schools, your children are sitting ducks in their government-approved "gun free zones". No matter HOW the politicians decide to infringe upon the 2nd Amendment in the coming days, criminals will ALWAYS have guns.

Even if NO ONE in a school is willing to carry a gun to protect the innocent there is still, at the very least, the possibility that these killers that live among us won't know which schools have armed personnel in them...which is more than we have now. That information should NEVER be broadcast...or available for "public consumption" following a Freedom Of Information Law (FOIL) request...as lib-rot site Gawker and The Journal News have recently broadcast lists of registered handgun owners following FOIL requests in the state of New York.

EVERY school in the country should have MULTIPLE mounted signs that state something similar to this:

Having only one uniformed, armed person in every school as the NRA and the Obama administration (Sen. Barbara Boxer suggested this idea to Obama's gun-blood-hound VP Biden - but, since Biden doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, who besides Obama cares what Biden reports to him in a few days?) is such a stupid idea to me that it is a blatant waste of time to even discuss it...but, here goes (if I must):

1. One person with one gun in each school is such a pathetic waste because everyone in that school will know where the ONE gun is at most times. If an attacker is a student of that school, he'll know where and when to enter the building and begin the murdering. If one of the kids that attends that school wants to shoot it up, they'll know where the officer is...and who the officer is, even if the officer is not wearing a uniform.
2. If the officer is at the opposite end of the school from where a killer begins their killing, what good will that one officer be able to do? Unknown numbers of innocent victims could be murdered before that one person with that one gun could take out the murderer.
3. If an officer can't make it to work on a particular day (due to snow - please note that the supposed existence of ONE armed officer in this school did NOT deter this would-be killer), or is scheduled to not work or is sick on a particular day, again, your kids are still sitting ducks.
4. If Muslim savages (aka, "terrorists") take over a school here (remember 9/11 - they've attacked the U.S. before - they will again), as they did in Beslan, Russia, one armed officer will be of zero use. MANY armed personnel within a school may also be of zero use in a "Beslan-style" attack. Still, several or many guns have a better chance of having an effect on a group of terrorists than ONE gun does. Right now, with zero guns in schools to protect your kids, they stand zero chance. Almost 1 out of 4 hostages at the Beslan school were killed...more than 350 dead out of about 1200 hostages.
5. IF the officer IS wearing a uniform, that's who will be shot first. Then, again, there are "no guns" in your school...except of course for whichever guns the killer has most-likely illegally-obtained to carry out his massacre of innocents...even though the president and/or Congress told him not to.
6. There are many other reasons...I listed 5 above. Add your own below.

Of course, as soon as more guns appear in the hands of the good-guys in our schools, and the rate at which these idiotic school massacres occur declines, crazy people, who are hopped-up on God-only-knows which psychotropic medications, will simply attack all you "gun free" people in all other "gun free zones" in malls, restaurants, movie theaters, etc. Happy shopping.

One last note: If you think a "good guy with a gun" is not the solution to a "bad guy with a gun" who is attacking you and/or your children, by all means, DO NOT CALL THE POLICE if you are ever attacked!
