Brilliance on the Political Left

As some of you know, I am constantly searching for the most brilliant people on the left. There are those who would argue that it is a vain effort, but I disagree because I truly believe that there are intelligent people on both the right and the left.

Take this gentleman for example. The grandson of German immigrants, he took an interest in journalism while attending high school, covering sports for The News-Gazette. He began writing letters of comment to science fiction fanzines, and became involved in sci-fi fandom writing his own articles. His senior year, he won a high school association state speech championship. He went on to receive an undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

His writing career has brought him notoriety the world around, and is widely believed to be one of (if not the) best in his field. He's also written screenplays, published several books and made appearances in movies. He's a guest lecturer at the University of Chicago, and writes a column for a major Chicago newspaper. It's easy to say that this man is quite successful and must be amongst the best and the brightest. Who am I speaking of? Why, this man, of course:

Roger Ebert's latest diarrhea diatribe

Yes, Roger Ebert, one of the most distinguished minds on the left today. What makes Roger such an elite leftist mind? Well in addition to the brilliance he displayed on his twitter page above, he's also advocated the 'horse whipping' of Rush Limbaugh for Limbaugh's criticism of Obama's handling of the Haitian earthquake and specifically the effort to funnel donations through the White House website. Roger Ebert continues to spew diarrhea from what's left of his smug little pie hole.

Now, specifically to the tweet he blessed the world with yesterday. Ebert was responding to the story out of Morgan Hill, CA where students wearing American Flag clothing on the 5th of May were kicked out of school. Why were they asked to remove the clothing, or face suspension? Why, because the 5th of May is a holiday for Mexicans, and wearing American Flag themed clothing on such a day would be insensitive to Mexican-Americans. AYFKM?!

Let's dive into this issue, just a skosh. First, I am going to be generous and assume that since the students are enrolled at a high school in Morgan Hill that they are, in fact legal citizens, and not criminal aliens. Therefore, the American flag is their flag, too. No citizen should be offended at the sight of their flag, no citizen. Cinco de Mayo is a holiday and celebration of the Mexican Army's victory over the French. While it has become a day of revelry in the United States, it is not a holiday and enjoys no state or federal distinction as such, nor should it. There are some who might say that the boys at Live Oak High School wore the clothing on May 5th in an effort to provoke students of Hispanic decent. Even if that were the boys intent, the wearing of patriotic clothing should never be a provocation and the fact that it might be or that it is, is an illustration of the government's failure to encourage and enforce assimilation into US society. This has become a politically charged issue, primarily because of the federal government's and California state government's unwillingness to address illegal immigration. We have also avoided enforcing assimilation into US culture and have encouraged the radical embracing of Mexican culture all across the southwest. Make no mistake, this is a huge problem. Don't believe me? Here's what Theodore Roosevelt had to say about immigrants, emphasis mine:

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but is something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." ~1919
---
“We can have no "50-50" allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.”

These are quotes from an American President from nearly a century ago, and yet we've forgotten these words in favor of inclusiveness and cultural sensitivity. Teddy was clear, anyone who asserts themselves to be anything other than 100% American is not an American at all.

This kinda flies in what's left of the face of Roger Ebert and his assertion that anyone who chooses to wear American Flag T-Shirts on May 5th are the same as traitors, doesn't it? Ebert, and those who believe as he does are a threat to the nation, and for that, he should be horse whipped. Roger Ebert has little respect for our nation of laws, and quite possibly even less respect for the men who fought to make her what she is today. He places no value on the pillars of our society (language, culture and history), and for that should be dragged by his slack jaw to the border, and tossed over.

Roger Ebert, one of the 'brilliant minds' on today's left.

--

Andy's take.

Innominatus has some interesting thoughts on Cinco de Mayo.

The only thing I can't figure out is why Ebert was suggesting that lefty kids wearing USSR flag clothing (who are heroes in his eyes) must be subjected to hanging out with the patriotic zealots wearing American flag gear.

Fat Blonde Puts Foot In Mouth; Begins To Chew

Also Known As

This morning on The Spew, Meghan McCain aka Young Sally Struthers, pontificated on 'exactly what's wrong with politics.' At issue is Sarah Palin's call for Rahm Emmanuel to be fired while simultaneously finding nothing wrong with Rush Limbaugh's use of the word 'retarded' when used in as satire aimed at Rahm Emmanuel. Rush's point, which was obvious to anyone in his audience, was that a Republican under the same exact circumstance, would be run out of town on a rail. However, the POTUS' chief of staff just has to act like he's sorry, then all is forgiven. So, since Rahm can say it and get away with it, then it must be okay to do now, right? When Bawbawa Wawa questioned Rush's use of 'satire,' Whoopi Gasbag chimed in saying:

"Yeah, well, when he appears at Caroline's, the comedy club, I'll believe it was satirical. "

You see, only comedians in comedy clubs can use satire. Everybody knows that.

Also on the firing range for Young Sally Struthers, Tom Tancredo's Tea Party speech. Apparently Y.S.S. no issue with uninformed voters and illegal aliens voting in the election. Fucking Brilliant. She also accuses Tom Tancredo of racism. Here are the two remarks of Tancredo's which are racist, as determined by Y.S.S.:

"People who could not spell the word 'Vote' or say it in English, put a committed Socialist Ideologue in the White House, who's name is Barrack 'Hussein' Obama..."

"...People at the convention should have to pass literacy tests in order to be able to vote in this country..."

Y.S.S. compares Tancredo's statements to the 1960's and the excuses used to deny African-Americans' the right to vote. Either Y.S.S. is extremely ignorant, or she's as retarded as Rahm Emmanuel. Citizens of the United States who'd been granted the right to vote by the Constitution were being singled out and refused their right to vote based solely upon the color of their skin. The charge of illiteracy was a canard floated as a legitimate disqualifier by racists to prevent blacks their rights. Fast forward to November 4, 2008. It is known that there are somewhere between 12 and 40 MILLION Illegal Aliens residing within the borders of this nation. Illegal Aliens, are by definition NOT citizens of the United States and are therefore legally disqualified from voting. The other burr under Y.S.S.'s saddle is the fact that Tancredo used Barry's middle name which is a McCaniac no no. I'm sure when Y.S.S. got home, John grounded her for a week just for mentioning PeeBo's middle name, regardless of the context.

If you can stand the idiocy, here is the video:

Obviously One of Obamas Saved Jobs

Ever wanted to see some kids 350Z rice burner get royally effed up?  I didn't think I did either, until I saw these pictures.

Yes, if you are wondering, those are wood screws. This genius, while completing a '$750' job, caused upwards of $14,000 in damage. These are the types of shovel ready, or in this case screw ready, jobs Obama was talking about. If you are interested in getting some work done on your own vehicle, and you want that special, craftsman type look, be sure to check out iDesigns/Import Image. Favorite quote from the website:

"Our business strives to provide a service most auto body paint shops frown upon."

Namely using wood screws and ball-peen hammers to install urethane body panels.

If you'd like to laugh at someone else's tears and see more pictures of the car, you should go here.

'Old' Is The New 'New!'

Yes, even though I harbor deep disdain for the Gawker Media websites, I am going to link one of Jalopnik's posts to make a point. Dodge Big Wigs apparently gave themselves stiffys over the design of their new Charger (picture below).


The only problem is that it looks remarkably similar to this 1999 conceptual design of the Dodge Charger R/T...


Mind you, Dodge is not the first car company to do this. Regardless of how big a fan of the new Camaro I might be, I cannot help but admit the striking similarities bewteen this 1999 GTO Concept car:


And this conceptual drawing of the new Camaro...


If all it takes to be a new car designer is access to old concept cars, I'll do the job for half of what Chevy and Dodge are paying their guys now.

For more on the future of the automobile, be sure to check out the Conservative Hideout 2.0's post.

Jublies!

If you're not up to speed on the Meghan McCain boobygate, good for you. If you care to know, you can read the story about it here.

The best summary/explaination/rip on McCain I've seen happens to be from Aurthur Loveless at Parcbench.com.

As she uploaded the picture to twitter, she could feel her sinful desires arising in her bosom. She gently bit her lower lip and slowly traced a line with her finger from her lower neck, over her ample breasts, past her navel and toward her most erogenous of areas, shooting a bolt of electricity through her heaving body. Arching her back she let loose a moan of pleasure, as sweat arose from her pores just like dew forms on the petals of an exotic flower.

Classic! I had to wipe Mountain Dew off my workstation at the office.  Be sure to visit Parcbench to read the whole thing.

Nailed It!

Ha HA!

Seems as though I'm the one with the l33t crowd size estimating skills, Paul. How do I know? What sort of brilliance backed up my flawless math and logic? The Other McCain's of course!

My friend Barbara Espinosa was the source of the first concrete crowd numbers: 450,000, counted by a people-meter at the intersection of Constitution Avenue and 11th Street, two blocks east of the starting point of the march to the Capitol.

As a refresher from my "Hundreds of Thousands Rally In DC, Against Big Government" post:

Using the Parks estimate of 1 person per 2.5 square feet leaves us with approximately 440,000 people along Pennsylvania Avenue when this picture was taken

Nevermind that these are two different street names, and the picture I analyzed was taken to the north of the rally area, not to the east as Stacy indicates in his post. Just, for a moment focus on nothing but the number.

That's right, I posted the exact same number (+/-2%) as Stacy McCain. Locations, times, dates, and all other important evidence be damned!

I truly amaze myself sometimes.

Joey Plugs: 'You're welcome!'

Joey Plugs ran to the microphones earlier this week to declare, unequivocally, that the Stimulus has worked! Not only has it worked, he said, it's worked better than expected! That's fantastic, considering that the Stimulus was touted as the single greatest way to not only save jobs, but completely turn around the economy. I guess that means it's going gangbusters out there!!!

Video credit The Associated Press

Thank G*d! I was beginning to think that my family members unemployment was going to last forever. Imagine then my surprise when I picked up the phone to ask said family members how they were enjoying their new employment. It's going to be a rough Thanksgiving this year...

Turns out, unsurprisingly, that Joey got it wrong, AGAIN! Or, is 9.7% unemployment (a 26-year high) a recovery?

Exit quote:

"Eight out of 10 of the largest banking institutions in the country... as well as sixteen smaller banks have repaid the government in full. And, I might add, at a $4 Billion profit for the taxpayer..."

Superb! I'll take a check. Please make it payable to...

Tom Ridge: Schizophrenic

I was politically pressured to elevate the threat level. No, I wasn't.

How was this thought process birthed, there Tommy?

'I'm gonna make an outrageous claim, sure to ignite a fire in the press. That'll get me another 100,000 book sales! And no one within the former Bush administration will ever know, because they're too dumb to read, heh. I'm a genius!'

So, how many former Bush Administration flunkies are we going to have to be subjected to plugging their books?

And people accused Bush of being retarded... Seriously, this brings latest count to at least four former administration officials, who are indeed.

*Yawn* More Democratic Corruption

Honest Mistake!

Wait, another corrupt Democratic politician? Shocker! Seriously, this cr*p is so prolific, that I'd have to quit my job and sit by the computer all day long everyday to report on each instance. I think Paul is right:

"If anyone really wanted to clean up all the crime in the world, they would simply arrest ALL Democrats..."

Charlie Rangel is a big, fat, idiotic, imbecilic fool, who obviously cannot think for himself and needs a state appointed care-taker.

Let's Get Wee Weed!

Last evening I came home with the intention of writing some more of the best blog posts you'll ever read, ever, but instead I got caught up reading some of the other outstanding, albeit less awesome than my own, blogs. Here for you are a collection of some of the great work I beheld last night!

RSMcCain tees up another loon.

Hikes up her skirt a little more.

I'm getting ready to assign the nickname blog tease to RSMcCain, seriously...

Even Dan Riehl is in on this teasefest!

It's so close I can taste it and the anticipation is killing me!

Then this guy comes along and deflates the balloon. No fanfare, no long winded RSMcCain post about all the hours of gumshoeing, nothing. I feel... violated. All this build up with no 'pop,' now I have a case of blue blogs.

Then to top it all off, I find out my favorite blogger is going on 'Hiatus'.

With all this traffic I am sending RSMcCain's way, he's going to have to link me as the reason he got a Million blog hits in less than a year. Anyway, here is an intellectual and detailed explanation shedding light on the marxist roots of Political Correctness. Do yourself a favor and watch both videos (the one embedded and the one that is linked).

Pac-10 h8r!

Medical Genius! H/T Pat.

The return of Reagan's Optimism?

Good news Paul, there's hope!

Andy pegs the libtard politicians!

The difference between now and WW2 is that when this nation made a mistake (i.e. Japanese Internment) we took responsibility and made amends as a nation. No longer the case, now it's personal because you took orders from a president of the wrong political party. Joey Liebs breaks it down.

Somebody get me this bumper sticker, stat!

Moral Obligation persuasion failure!

How many Kenyans can you feed for the price of a few solar panels?

Hope & Fail!

Angry White People!

I'll know if you didn't read all of these links, and I will send the Link Dump Czar after you... I'm just saying.

Press 1 For Awesome!

Finally, a reason for pressing 1 during a phone call that I can get behind! The RNC redirected incoming angry telephone calls to the DNC! SCORE! Earlier the DNC released a video calling constituents of Blue Dog Democrats who are upset with health care reform, 'angry mobs.' The video accuses the GOP of inciting mob behavior to combat the Democrats plan for nationalized health care. At the end of the video, viewers are encouraged to call the RNC to 'tell them you've had enough of the mob.' When the angry phone calls started to come in to the RNC, a message was added on the recorded answer instructing the caller to press 1 in order to voice their concern over the angry mobs. Once the caller pressed 1, the call was forwarded to the DNC's main switchboard.

Recipe For Success!

The 9th Circus Court of Appeals once again proves that they are on the side of truth, justice and absolute stark-raving, barking at the moon, lunacy. WTF are these guys thinking? This is what is called States Rights FAIL. A Federal Appeals Court overriding a State's decision. I'm feeling all 10th Amendmenty, aren't you?

If you needed a reason to get the eff outta Dodge, here it is on a silver platter. I say screw releasing them, put them on death row. That'll drive down the number of repeat offenders, no?

If you're up for self torture, the PDF is here.

Boobs in the Classroom!

For the record, I HATE the Patriotwats.

Apparently a Physics Professor at George Mason University is so desperate to get his students to pay attention and learn sumthin' that he's employing cheerleaders for a series of online lesson videos. I'm all for cheerleaders. I am also all for learning. I don't see a downside here...
