When cheating goes the extra distance.

It’s high-tech ya’ll!

You know….truth be told I never cheated on a test. Ever. However, after watching this video (and remembering that I used to drink coke’s in class all the freakin’ time) I now wish 1) that I had and 2) that this technology existed back then. Not saying that I condone cheating….just saying that I could have been a senator or a lawyer by now or something.

Alpha no longer: the rise of the Beta Male.

I had always felt that Nikolai Tesla was a genius far beyond his time. Hallucinating birds and living in a New York apartment in solitude till he died aside….the man called it years ago and we are now being run by “Queen Bees”.

Even MSNBC believes this has happened now.

Tesla claimed that because of the males constant actions against women back in the early days (demanding subservience and the like) that the women of the future would ultimately rise against the male population and begin to take over. He didn’t paint a pretty picture then and what we actually got wasn’t any rosier. As the rise of feminism washed across the country it began tipping the scales in the favor of the female. However, unbeknowest to both sexes it tipped the scale much to far in the opposite direction and has now left men in a sad state.

Emasculated and ruled.

Proof?

“The male ego as head of household seems to have diminished to the point of disappearance,” said Rosanna Hertz, chair of women’s studies at Wellesley College and one of the researchers involved in the Elle/msnbc.com study. “However, men are still dragging their feet in terms of domestic responsibilities.”

Sounds like animosity more than equality to me.

Explosive device goes off in Times Square

At a recruiting station

I’m sure that some leftist anti-military moron has nothing to do with this. After all, they support the troops.

UPDATE : Looks like HotAir has found out that it WAS indeed some anti-war crazyface.

Apparently the officials believe that there might be up to 8 people who were involved in this ridiculous attack on a recruiting center and I hope that the police cart every single one of them off to the jail and bury them underneath it. However, I do find it strange that now MSNBC is claiming that the letters are just a coincidence and say that they only appear to be connected at “first glance”.

Just as Ed pointed out…..the dude signed the letters.

Perhaps MSNBC wants to draw attention away from the idea that anti-war nuts are dangerous considering how terribly anti-military MSNBC is.

WTF?

Due to influenza and a weird problem that didn’t allow me to access wordpress I haven’t posted in almost a MONTH.

Good lord.

That’s all I got people. Andy punching people…..it’s been a long month.

Iran - Remember that Nuclear program they halted? Not entirely accurate….

Looks like the DNI is distancing himself from his own organizations assessment of the Iranian nuclear program.

Turns out that the piece that we all heard about in the news was not speaking about the entire program initiative that the Mainstream media had wanted you to think. They were only speaking about the construction of nuclear warheads….which is just a single step in the process of making the weapons.

Here, just read this:

Mr. McConnell was referring to the specific Iranian program to design potential nuclear warheads, which the December estimate said had halted in 2003. But in his opening testimony, Mr. McConnell noted that two other components of the nuclear program were moving ahead — the enrichment of uranium, which he said was the most difficult part of making a bomb, and the development of long-range missiles capable of hitting North Africa and Europe.

Ya’ don’t say?! Have anything else to add Mr. McConnell?

Yesterday, Mr. McConnell struck a different tone. “Declared uranium enrichment efforts, which will enable the production of fissile material, continue. This is the most difficult challenge in nuclear production. Iran’s efforts to perfect ballistic missiles that can reach North Africa and Europe also continue.”

He went on, “We remain concerned about Iran’s intentions and assess with moderate-to-high confidence that Tehran at a minimum is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons.

Wow, how did the Mainstream not pick up on this little nugget? You think the Today show or MSNBC or CNN will send this news on down the pipeline? AND tarnish their good name?

Never.

Guess the MSM hit pieces will continue to roll on down the line while the truth stays out here in obscurity in the blogosphere.

Backlash! - Archbishop of Canterbury calls for Sharia law in Britain….church freaks out!

And rightfully so.

I have said and thought for years that the Rowan Williams was an absolute pitiful leader of the Church of England and his comments over the years have backed up my claims. Now, as if this was shocking to everyone else but me, he comes out and says that people should recognize Sharia law and that is how they should govern their own lives.  So, what will he say when the spousal abuse statistic skyrockets because of all the “admonishing” that the Sharia law followers commit on their wives?

Here’s some reactions to his comments:

In an astonishing attack, one senior Church of England clergyman demanded Dr Rowan Williams step down immediately and branded him “gullible”.

Meanwhile, the Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, claimed it would be “simply impossible” to introduce Sharia law in Britain.

Hmmm…does Mr. Nazir-Ali have anything else to day?

Today he claimed that Sharia would be “in tension” with current laws, including the rights of women.

Dr Nazir-Ali, who holds dual British and Pakistani citizenship, also added that Muslim women’s groups had blocked an attempt to introduce Sharia in marriage dispute cases in Canada.

Debates on Sharia “are not an argument for disturbing the integrity of a legal tradition which is rooted in the quite different moral and spiritual vision deriving from the Bible,” he concluded.

In a separate attack, a clergyman identified only as a long-standing member of the Church’s governing body the General Synod, told The Times that many people had now lost confidence in the Archbishop.

(Added emphasis) Yeah, thats exactly what I had thought. Despite the facts that Sharia law is in direct opposition to the type of moral standards of the Bible is it also in direct opposition to the rights of women who probably don’t think that being flogged and verbally abused is what constitutes as a “good date”.

As for the whole “people have lost confidence in the Archbishop” comment….really? Did it take you people this long to figure out that the guy is nothing but a deceptive appeaser to other standards and beliefs? If he wants to make comments like that he needs to step down from the position he holds and leave the Church of England because his type of destructive rhetoric is not welcome there.

And to be honest? I denounce him completely. To think that a man who is the leader of the Church of England would allow such laws to be recognized that would put many women in danger and others as well. Shameful.

Just. freakin’. Shameful.

Election ‘08 - Southern state becomes example of race war between democrats?

Apparently Clinton was betting on the “good ole boys” not voting for a black man.

Considering that Tennessee went to Clinton (yeah, I was very surprised) the story pretty much states that Hillary was hoping that she could swing it so that the rural areas would avoid Obama like the plague.

Clinton lost urban counties by about a 2:1 margin, narrowly won suburban counties, and won in rural areas by as much as 10:1 margins.  Obama finished so poorly in some counties that he actually finished third in two-man race

That sucks pretty bad. I mean, I guess Clinton could go ahead and say that rural whites wouldn’t vote for a black man but considering how much of a good run that Harold Ford Jr. did back during the senate race I just don’t think that race really had anything to do with it. It could be that Obama was rated as one of the most liberal senators in America in 2007, but hey…the dems love themselves a race war.

Yes, yes, Ford Jr. -did- lose back during the senate race but he lost by a very small margin. Corker barely managed to pull that one out and the percentages showed that back in ‘06.

Still, The Clinton’s were hoping something like this would come about and I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about it in the news if the mainstream picks up on it.

Election ‘08 - West Virginia goes to Huckabee….by help from McCain and Ron Paul supporters?

Ok, now this pisses me off.

It seems that the delegates of Paul’s and McCain’s committees were instructed at the last minute to rally behind Huckabee to steal away the win from Romney, and it looks like it worked too.

But before Huckabee’s surprising turnaround at the convention, McCain delegates told FOX News they had been instructed by the campaign to throw their support to Huckabee.

Ugh. Huckabee already pissed me off by being a bad candidate and not figuring out when the heck to get out of the race, but now he is just pushing my big red button that screams “AHHH!”.

This honestly makes me just want to quit the Republican party…not that I would join the DNC…no no no…not ever. However, the party is leaving me and I just can’t stand to see this type of self-destruction going on in the party. Hopefully McCain wont come out with a win today and neither will Huckabee because that would just absolutely suck if either one of them became the nominee. Such a sad sad day indeed….

Thanks goes to Ace for the info.

Psycho - Rosie O’Donnell takes stone-cold crazy to a new level

She claims that President George W. Bush almost killed her.

And she has the scarrrrrrrz~ to prove it she claims. Well, actually she went out and bought a whole bunch of fishing equipment (WTF?) and then proceeded to stab herself in the finger with the cleaning knife that tore out tendon, muscle, sinew, and then left her with a staph infection that almost killed her.

Now, any sane person probably feels the urge to find Ms. O’Donnell and slap her squarely across the face with a medieval gauntlet and declare a dual. However, I urge everyone to remain calm and refrain from old european tactics of outrage.

Still, it makes me wonder why people haven’t had Rosie committed for the truly insane acts that she has committed against herself, and against whatever viewing audience she has been in front of. Because, lets face it….if you’ve had to endure listening to this fat sow scream and harp on about conspiracy and lunacy then you have all been done a great disservice and I’m pretty sure that just having to look at her is classified as “eye rape”.

You wanna know what the craziest thing about her actions that really confuses me? It isn’t the self-mutilation part that I am confused over….it’s the fishing. Why did she suddenly have an urge to go fishing? What madness overtook her so wholeheartedly that she HAD to go fishing?

Crazy

Shocker: Obama supporters can’t recall any accomplishment from the Senator.

Thank you HotAir for this nugget

Here is the video if you don’t wanna click out:

Here’s the synopsis of the video:

Hannity: Can you name one single accomplishment of Barack Obama?
Crowd: Uuuuhhhhhh~ Uuuhhhhhh~ UhhhhhhHHHhhhhh~

Is that not frightening? Sure, it makes for some awesome Super Tuesday comedy but it is a truly frightening thing to learn that the people VOTING FOR HIM can’t even recall a single reason why he is qualified to be President. One guy even said he was a great speaker like Jesse Jackson……

Yeah, let that one sink in for just a second. Just because he is a good speaker that makes him qualified to be President? If the position could just be filled by someone who was good at public speaking then I should have been rushed to the White House at the age of ten. Trust me, if speaking ability was what got people there then I seriously need to consider running for President when I turn 35.

But I digress, It is a truly frightening thing to see when people can’t even figure out why they are voting for the person they are supporting. If you asked me I could at least tell you one reason why my candidate of choice was capable of ascending to Commander in Chief. However, and I don’t think is an isolated incident, I just don’t think most of the democrat voters even know why they are choosing Barack or Hillary. I think they are just going so they can “defeat the evil republicans” yet have absolutely no idea what type of hell they are going to be bringing upon themselves in the form of their new President.

The true horror of it all? they don’t even know it. They are just pulling that lever and they have their eyes closed the whole time. At times like this I agree with Neal Boortz that some people should not be allowed to vote. Ever. Not because of gender or race or anything retarded like that but for being purely ignorant of the process or why your involved in it.

Maybe there needs to be a test or something so that we can weed out all the stupid people and keep them from casting useless votes, but then that wouldn’t be freedom now would it? Oh well, I don’t see this trend of blind voting going away anytime soon so I guess the small fraction of us that really care about our country will have to fight extra hard to keep the truly destructive idiots from ruining what country we have left.

Mossad: “Iran will have Nuclear Weapons in Three Years”

When the top spy agency in Israel says something like this I tend to pay real close attention.

Why? Because Mossad is just that awesome. Not to mention everyone one of their neighbors are pretty much enemies so I’m pretty sure they have a handle on keeping an eye on what the other sides are trying to accomplish. Why would we even question what Israel was saying anyways? Hasn’t the President of Iran come out and said numerous times “We want to wipe out Israel”?  and have they not been enriching uranium and continuously telling the U.N. to shut up and back off because they are just going to keep making the stuff anyways?

Apparently all of this suspicious activity isn’t suspicious to the U.N. at all, but considering we’re talking about the same organization that just sits on its thumbs and pretends everything is rosy while Rwanda was falling in to turmoil and while Darfur is still worse for wear. I don’t expect the U.N. councils to do much but thats because they have a track record of never getting anything done. Ever.

Here is a bit from the article:

Israel’s Mossad spy agency estimates Iran will develop a nuclear weapon within three years and continue to provide rockets to regional armed groups, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Mossad director Meir Dagan, in an intelligence assessment presented to Israel’s powerful foreign affairs and defense committee on Monday, said the Jewish state would face increased threats on all fronts, Maariv daily said.

Face increased threats on all fronts? Considering this is from an Israeli source I find that a bit of an understatement. If Iran was to really gain the ability to launch a functional nuclear weapon I would think that Israel would be dealing with more than just “increased threats”.

Tehran has always insisted its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

Ok, sure, if you buy that then I have some seriously awesome imaginary real estate to sell you. Trust me….the view is gorgeous.

Long story short, we might need to pay attention when Israel’s top spies are telling everyone to keep a freakin eye on the Iranians because I honestly do believe that they are trying to make a bomb and will do whatever they can to get it completed, and if they do I bet that more than just Israel will have to deal with them.

Honestly, I have to question why we haven’t done anything about them sooner. Why did we go in to Iraq when we should have headed full steam in to Tehran? Probably logistics or some diplomatic event that we wanted to avoid, and even though removing Saddam was a good idea it’s ALSO a good idea to remove Ahmadenijad as well.

McCain criticizes Romney’s conservatism….no….I’m not joking

Here is the link

Here is a little nugget from the very first paragraph. I literally could hardly contain myself from the laughter:

Republican John McCain assailed Mitt Romney’s conservative credentials on the eve of the Super Tuesday presidential primaries, going on national television with a new campaign ad that claims Romney “was against Ronald Reagan before he was for him.”

Excuse me for a moment….

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Ok, ok, seriously now though….are you ******* kidding me? McCain, who has had to have had the most anti-conservative record considering the views on border security, immigration, free speech, and ethics…..is questioning someone elses conservatism??? Really?

It’s official…the dude is freakin nuts. Aside from Romney, at this point I think that all of the republican candidates are just bat-guano crazy. Stone. Effin’. Cold.

Huckabee is more than just losing….he’s crazy!

Like, liberal fringe conspiracy crazy.

Now, I would like to point out that this act of craziness is not to be mistaken for “Ron Paul” type of crazy. Oh, lord no. That type of crazy has it’s own realm of weird and you can’t buy a ticket to get where he’s gone. However, this accusation that Sean Hannity was “doing his employers bidding” is just way on out there when it comes to conspiracy.

Radio Equalizer (the link to which my link takes you too) points out that the Huffington post was the originators of this idea quite a while back after accusing that Hannity was being paid by Mitt Romney because of stakes or ownership in some company that was invested in Clearchannel. A twisted and convoluted idea that really doesn’t go anywhere but crazytown.

Really, i’m actually quite ashamed that a candidate, let alone a Republican, would head in to such territories that are usually reserved for the late night callers of some obscure radio show where they claim that there are black helicopters flying overhead. This kinda crap usually doesn’t get thrown around in a primary and quite frankly I’m disgusted.

Also, ashamed ever more since I had once thought Huckabee to be a decent fella. Now I just think he is a sore loser and a public bother.

As if I needed 10 reasons to not vote for John McCain….

Thank you Bill Quick for putting this absolutely wonderful piece up.

Seriously, if you are wondering whether or not you should vote for John McCain then why not click that link and head on over to Daily Pundit and give that a read. It’s just a list of many of the major reasons why John McCain should have never been allowed to get this close to a nomination and it’s a bunch of darn good reasons to keep him from EVER getting the nomination.

You would think that people the nickname “McAmnesty” would have tipped people off to the fact that he was a pretty crappy guy when it comes to securing out borders. However, it was like people forgot all about that now didn’t they. The real creepy part? Thats just 1 reason not to vote for him….the list pretty much does a bang up job of striking nail after nail on the head as to why people need to avoid McCain like the plague.

Here’s one of my favorites:

“I believe my party has gone astray. I think the Democratic Party is a fine party, and I have no problems with it, in their views and in their philosophy.”

McCain said this in 2004 when speaking at a DEMOCRAT Party shindig at the time he was being TOUTED by the MSM and quite a few Democrats (and maybe McCain himself?) for a possible shot as Kerry’s VP nominee.

Yeah, I wonder how many of you guys remember that one? Anyone? I sure as heck do and knowing that he was once considered to be the running mate of a rival party just sends chills up my spine. Quite frankly, if you ask me, the guy wants revenge for not getting the nomination in 2000. He’s wanting payback and he’s willing to burn the entire conservative populace in liberal fire if he ever gets the chance, and chances are he’ll start by opening up the borders and just letting the Mexican invasion begin in full force.

Anyways, its a dang good article and if your an undecided then you owe it to yourself to read it.

Blogroll update

I updated my blogroll of an old blog that was abandoned for an ever better one.

Seriously, Bmac told me like…ages ago that he changed his blog and my procrastinating hind-end didn’t get around to changing it till…well…today.

LAZY

Anyways, his blog “A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever” is now updated. clickity clickity and get educated.

Palestinians celebrate suicide attack on Israel

There is a video at the link

Seriously, why are we giving these people a country? Has everyone just turned a deaf ear to the fact that these exiled Syrians Palestinians are just going to keep attacking Israel? Apparently the U.N. has and considering that President Bush went over there and claimed that the Israeli’s need to “stop the occupation” in Gaza I’m assuming that our government has too.

This is simple people:

Palestinians = Bad guys
Exiled Syrians = Palestinians
Syrians = Bad guys
Hamas = Terrorist Organization
Terrorists = Bad guys

It’s a simple formula people. Simple. NOW! Since we have no identified who are the good and the bad guys why can’t we start treating them as the good and bad guys. Easy right? Well, just in case you all forgot:

Israel = Good guys
Palestine = Bad guys

Ok, class dismissed.

Thanks to HotAir for the link

Election ‘08 - Clinton reaches for an Omen

In my opinion this would be a bad omen.

Clinton said she supported the NY Giants (as if that harpy actually watches football) while her opponent supported the Patriots. Now that the Giant’s have won the SuperBowl she is now saying that the NY victory is an omen of things to come.

Well, Hillary, I can assure you that a grandiose celebration will not follow your “victory” if it should happen. The nation shall surely weep at the amount of damage they can now envision you spreading across the land, and trust me, Socialism will be the death kneel of this country.

However, I am a bit more optimistic of this omen but thats because I shall interpret it in a more fitting manner. You see, I feel that the Patriots are actually the representation of the Democrats who have been able to bask in the spotlight of the media glow and have practically been told that they will surely win. Clinton/Obama being the “Tom Bradys’” of the democrat party they have been assured that they are magical and shall surely never lose.

Then here comes the underdogs….the Republicans who has had to take a lashing from the media every step of the way. “They’ve been showing some spirit but they just cant pull it off” everyone has said, but hopefully at crunch time we can duck and weave our way past the onslaught that the Dem’s will toss at us and pull away with a win.

Although, if McCain is the Republican who is leading our team….well….I can’t really say that I’ll be too enthusiastic about the win. Considering if McCain becomes President we’ll pretty much have to learn how to speak spanish as a first language, and I’m just not prepared to do that.

Ever. I’ll learn Russian first.

Anyways, all this “omen” talk is BS anyways, so go eat a bisquit and enjoy some breakfast.

When celebrities attack! Joe Montana harasses Gamedaily reporter.

Wow, I was totally a fan of Montana when I was a little kid. He just seemed so calm and collected.

However…. 

Since the party was a media event (athletes hammed it up for the camera all night), I took three photos of Montana for my Madden Bowl recap story. I then turned away to check my work, surprised to find the football icon missing from the last photo.

It only took a hot second to realize where he’d gone. Montana was behind me, bumping into me to get my attention. Startled, I turned to see a stone-faced Joe who looked at me with disdain before asking, “Do you have a fucking problem?” I politely shook my head, and said I didn’t know that I wasn’t allowed to take pictures of him.

What a douchenozzle (two in one day!) to say that to someone who, you know, is just taking a picture of him. Considering that Joe has had his picture taken like a million times in his career you wouldn’t think that he would mind. However, the reporter did say that the booze had been flowing all night and I’m pretty sure that alcohol turns you in to a douchebag.

Or, it could be this picture:

What’s that Joe? You don’t like your picture taken? Hmm? Drinking too heavily? What? That lady next to you isn’t your wife? Hmmm…

Next time lay off the booze Joe, and try being a bit more civil. People don’t like jerk off celebrities dropping the F-bomb for no reason. Especially just for someone taking your picture.

Ya jerk.

A minute of your time - Pondering the faithless

Here is a nice quote I found.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live my life as if there isn’t and die to find out there is.
- Albert Camus

I can’t count how many times I’ve said that, and this guy gets the credit! Well, I guess thats the benefit of saying it “first”.

Et tu Townhall?

Wow, I just can’t use this place as a respectable place for political opinion anymore.

That’s it. I remove thee from my hotlinks! I shun thee and rebuke thee for all of your transgressions against the conservative base!

Why oh WHY has thou let someone with such douchebaggery (in case you can’t tell “Douchebag” is hilarious to me and this is why I use it constantly)  as Johnnie Byrd post upon your net pages?

Anyways! I just want to explain something to missa Byrd:

But it is time for Rush, Laura, Sean, Bill and friends to deeply ponder the fact that almost two million Republicans voted in Florida’s closed primary—a huge number. More people voted in Florida than Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina combined. More than twice the population of all of New Hampshire—and McCain was the Republican choice! Amazingly, this happened in the face of an unmerciful pounding by Rush and friends, as well as Romney’s 4,475 television ads to McCain’s 470.

Well, Mr. Byrd one of the main reasons why the majority of Republicans voted for McCain in that state? Well, that’s because Florida, God’s waiting room, is filled with very very old people. The very same old people who mucked up the 2000 election because they wanted to vote for Pat Buchanan. The VERY SAME old people that couldn’t tell what chad to punch out and thus pitched a holy hell of a hissy fit because thats what old people do.

Answer is easy to understand: OLD. PEOPLE.

Is it any coincidence that these old people would vote for McCain? No, because he is OLD too! They all stick together like one big old wrinkle that stretches from miami to sarasota and back to Jacksonville. One giant election ruining wrinkle.

Old People. Old. McCain. Old.

Need I say more?

Politics: Why would anyone who is a real conservative vote for McCain? Oh wait….real conservatives don’t vote for McCain.

Townhalls “John Hawkins” had a recent article put up where he tells us conservatives that we should vote for McCain and, although sarcastically so, says we should “do it and like it”.

Yeah, not gonna happen.

Sorry John but I won’t abandon principles just so we can avoid four years of the Hilda beast of the magical Barack Obama. Nah, the rest of your dorks can line up like lemmings if you want but I think I’ll just hang back and wait for my opportunity to actually vote someone in who I could support.

Now, if Romney gets the vote? Yeah, I’ll gladly line up in November and pull that lever, but if it was McCain I might just write him a letter stating how much a douchenozzle I think he is. Anyone who hires a man like Juan Hernandez (who supports a north american union type deal where we join hands with Canada and Mexico and become one single entity) soundly fits within the realm of douchery and it unfit to be President.

Anyways, I have a demonstration video to show you the reaction I have when someone tells me that McCain is a perfectly good candidate.

The End is Nigh!

Well, not really but it sure as heck feels like it.

McCain won florida, Schwarzenegger (or however he spells it these days) endorsed him, and I’m pretty sure that I heard on the radio this morning that Giuliani endorsed him as well.

Sucks.

I hate McCain. Really, I do. the guy is probably the biggest RINO in our entire government system and I could not think of a worst republican to run for President. Well, maybe Larry Craig would be a worst Prez but that joke has been worn out enough now hasn’t it? Although I’m sure he would have a wide stance on certain foreign policies.

Yeah, I thought that pun was crap too.

The only way I would vote for McCain is….well…there isn’t any way I could do it and not need a scolding hot shower afterwards, but if Hillary was the democratic nominee then I might be able to pull the lever for him. I might also sever my own hand afterwards so that the taint does not infect my very soul, but I’m talking about the lesser of two evils here.

Still, I may just take the safe route and not vote for President and just handle the elections for my local and state offices. There IS always that option.

Breakfast for the Mind

Early morning quote to get the mind working.

“What does this desire and this inability of ours proclaim to us but that there was once in man a genuine happiness, of which nothing now survives but the mark and the empty outline; and this he vainly tries to fill from everything that lies around him, seeking from things that are not there the help that he does not get from those that are present? Yet they are quite incapable of filling the gap, because this infinite gulf can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object - that is, God, Himself. He alone is man’s veritable good, and since man has deserted Him it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature that has not been capable of taking His place for man: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest. And since he has lost the true good, everything can equally appear to him as such - even his own destruction, though that is so contrary at once to God, to reason, and to nature.”

We asked “Why?” and our answers destroyed us.

I am a thinker and very consistent one at that. I ponder questions and have numerous wonders every day….many more than any normal man might have in a week or even a month. However, despite my constant questions and pondering in to the workings of the world I have started to come to a very dark and bleak conclusion.

“Knowledge does not bring about freedom, but only seeks to imprison us more.”

You can quote me on that. I don’t mind. Now, before you readers dismiss this as a truly unsound thought let me bring to you an excerpt from a book that I have been reading. The upcoming musings is from the character Giuseppe Baldini who is a pretty significant character in the book “Perfume” which was written by Patrick Suskind. A strange place to find a thought provoking paragraph indeed, but nonetheless it got my intuitive wheels turning and I would like to share this small section with you:

Man’s misfortune stems from the fact that he does not want to stay in the room where he belongs. Pascal said that. And Pascal was a great man, a Frangipani of the intellect, a real craftsman so to speak, and no one wants one of those anymore. People read incendiary books now by Huguenots or Englishmen. Or they write tracts or so-called scientific masterpieces that put anything and everything in question. Nothing is supposed to be right anymore, suddenly everything ought to be different. The latest is that little animals never before seen are swimming about in a glass of water. They say that syphilis is a completely normal disease and no longer the punishment of God. God didn’t make the world in seven days, it’s said, but over millions of years, if it was He at all. Savages are human beings like us; we raise our children wrong; and the earth is no longer round like it was, but flat on the top and bottom like a melon — as if it made a damn bit of difference!

In every field people question and bore and scrutinize and pry and dabble with experiments. It’s non longer enough for a man to say that something is so or how it is so — everything now has to be proven besides, preferably with witnesses and numbers and one or another of these ridiculous experiments. These Diderots and d’Alemberts and Voltaires and Rousseaus or whatever names these scribblers have–there are even clerics among them and gentlemen of noble birth!– they’ve finally managed to infect the whole society with their perfidious fidgets, with their sheer delight in discontent and their unwillingness to be satisfied with anything in this world, in short, with the boundless chaos that reigns in side their own heads!

Now, obviously with the rhetoric used in the excerpt the timeframe in which Baldini is speaking is during the time when man was coming in to the age of expanding science. When man was pushing in to new frontiers through experimentation and constant trial and error. It created a wonderful world that we now live in, but it seems that it only created a beautiful world which we are constantly throwing away.

I don’t mean in the sense of wasteful use like the environmentalist crazies or the global warming alarmists might think, but I believe we are always destroying our own aesthetic creations just as soon as we form them. Just as Baldini said in the very first line “Mans misfortune stems from the  fact that he does not want to stay in the room where he belongs” and that is the most truthful comment anyone could have ever said. I could have just written that one line in this post and it might have had a more profound impact than my scattered rantings, but as I said before….I am one of the thinkers and therefore I have to analyze it. I couldn’t just be satisfied with the absolute notion that Pascal had said it, meant it, and just left it alone allowing the purpose of the comment to take its full effect and sink in.

No, I’ve bastardized it with my own brand of interpretation and have ventured in the realm of asking “why?” just as all thinkers do.

Strange isn’t it?

Despite the time era difference has anything in todays world really changed from the world that Baldini spoke of? We’re still just as unsatisfied as the scientists he spoke of and it looks as if there is no real sign of that trend slowing down at all. We live in a world of discontent where we never ever want to be where we are supposed to be, and I think that this perpetual spiral in to a future of never ending questions will see us to our downfall.

Why? Because we cant stop. We are unable to stop, and it is because we cannot find peace with anything that we will refuse to stop. Constantly striving towards understanding everything and destroying the mysteries and wonderments that made life fascinating.  I no longer care to analyze the world about me, but have now made a personal decision to only experience it as it had been intended. Whether this life was created by God or by chaotic chance….I no longer will be held a prisoner to the question “Why?” but shall take life for what it is.

Random thought of the day

I don’t mean this to be offensive even though I that it probably will be but…

Ladies…please….for the love of god….quit getting short haircuts. Seriously, there is only like 2% of you that can actually pull it off without looking like a bunch of dudes. I just can’t stress this enough. I really REALLY can’t.

Oh, and bangs never ever look good. Ever.

Screw you guys: You ruined my Election

Seriously, since Fred Thompson’s exodus from the campaign trail I could give a crap about this election anymore. Considering that the American people just lost the one politician who actually gets it I just don’t see why I should care anymore.

Apparently my country IS filled with idiots. If it wasn’t then why in God’s name is McCain or Huckabee being hailed as the “Republican front runners”. Only stupid people who have no business voting would actually put their support behind those two.

I’m not going to smash on Romney. The mainstream media and the anti-mormon crowd does enough of that. However, I don’t know if I can even vote for him either. He is “conservativy” but I’m not real big on voting for people who are conservative-lite. So, yeah, I’m pretty much disgusted.

So, thanks America, for robbing me of what faith in my countrymen I had left. You did a bang up job.

So, here’s a video for all of you. (except for like a few people and you know who you are)

I need to get a life apparently, but so does the rest of the conservatives.

I’ve never thought Dan Riehl was an idiot or anything of the sort. Ever.

Well….

However, his nagging over the fact that “Fredheads” are so zealous about supporting their candidate that they would sit out of the general election is quite a bit much. Not to mention that his complaints do nothing but make him out to seem as if he’s absolutely flipped out. Sorry Dan, but perhaps you need to just sit back for a moment and re-evaluate yourself for just a sec.

I understand where he’s coming from. I do. However, his wants and needs of defeating Hillary in 08′ is forcing him in to the corner of “vote republican just for the sake of defating Hillary”, and I’m going to tell you right now that way of thinking is just as dangerous AS voting for Hillary. Oh, I know what your thinking “OMG Aurvant! That’s just crazy talk! Anyone is better than Hillary! just vote for McCain, Huckabee, Romney, Giuliani, [insert RINO here]“, but the truth is that not everyone is better than Hillary. By voting for someone like McCain or Huckabee I wouldn’t be voting for someone based on conservative principles or because they fit the mold of a great conservative candidate. No, I would be voting for them just because everyone else is doing it and that isn’t how I roll.

I don’t care if the Godfather himself, Rush Limbaugh, went up there and cast his ballot for Huckabee or McCain I wouldn’t do it. Not in a million years would I ever vote those two in to the Presidential seat. They aren’t conservatives and I will not sacrifice my own principles just to stick someone in office that isn’t a democrat.

Is this what the rest of the conservative movement is doing? Are they voting for people who are “just good enough” to do the job? This has been one of the most public and politically charged elections in the history of this country, but for some reason I just think that the republicans side is trying to shed the mantle of real conservatism just so they can fit in with the rising leftist progressives. It’s as if everyone on the right is meshing towards one unified group of “moderates” so that they can feel as if they have a fighting chance of winning political power instead of staying true to their convictions.

Ugh….nightmares. I can only hope it never comes to that. Ever.

Science study?: Kids hates clowns — Duh?

Click here for Sinistar’s absolutely engaging find.

Seriously, why is grant money being wasted on these “studies”? Hasn’t everyone since the beginning of time and human record hated clowns and their ilk?

I sure know I have. Not that they are scary or anything…..they’re just….creepy. Also, it doesn’t really help that Stephen King (Master of Horror?) wrote a book that involved a supernatural muderous clown that liked to scare the bejeezus out of children, and we Americans had a REAL LIFE murderous clown that liked to kill people and bury them under his house.

Useless trivia nugget: Gacy was a Democratic Party precinct captain. Ominous is it not?

Anyways, Clowns are evil. EVIL! They have ties with Poltergeists, Demonic underworld spirits, Stephen King, Real Life murders, and The Democratic party.

Evil. Pure effin’ Evil.

McCain hopes your an idiot and lives under a rock

Wow. Just wow.

McCain obviously either thinks your stupid or blind because anyone who has paid any sort of attention in the last….oh…few YEARS would know that McCain has proudly said in public that he DID NOT support the Bush Tax Cuts and even voted against them.

Yet, he sends out a flyer where he bashes Mitt Romney for not supporting them early enough? That RINO just manages to amaze me everytime he makes an appearance, and not in the good way.

Conservative Fred: There’s a reason why I support him.

 There are plenty of reasons why I switched my support to Fred exclusively. If you’ve been to his site, heard his debates, and seen his promotional videos on the TV and the net then you’ll know why I’m behind the guy 100%

But every now and then I get a chance to link up a piece of exceptional goodness

Right here

It’s always nice to see a candidate who understands the role of government. It’s always nice to see a candidate who has a firm standing in conservative beliefs and who can respond to people who tie in Christ to a politically charged question.

It’s not nice to see the rest of the country continue to be oblivious to how great of a candidate he really is. I hope the people finally take the shroud off and see what a good candidate Fred actually is, but I just don’t really have faith in people anymore. Haven’t in years really.

Maybe he’ll run again in 2012 if 08 isn’t his year. Hopefully, 08 WILL be his year in the end.

UPDATE: Also, another reason I like supporting him is because his supporters are some of the most awesome people ever.
