BABY LIES, BIG LIES AND BOLD-FACED LIES

While the finger pointing and accusations continue, Zach Osler, a high school friend of Jared Loughner, shines a light on Loughner's world view and twisted mind. Osler says Loughner wasn't Right, wasn't Left, didn't listen to talk radio, didn't watch TV, wasn't political. But there was one thing he was greatly influenced by. A Utopian atheistic movement called Zeitgeist.



This video of Osler's interview on ABC News explains what Zeitgeist is and what Loughner thought about it. The Zeitgeist movement has received a glowing profile on Huffingtonpost.com. Members attended Leftist rallies held in D.C. last year, Ed Schulz's One Nation rally and Jon Stewart's Restoring Sanity rally. And while the evidence is increasingly proving that Loughner wasn't political, he was simply Nuts, the left keeps right on with their Bold-Faced Lies completely ignoring the truth of the matter.

Check out Louise Slaughter. She's angry at talk radio but she's not angry at Loughner. And Paul Krugman. There's so many things he's said that are so outrageous, he has no credibility left. Keith Olbermann is up to his usual verbal assaults. James Clyburn wants the Fairness Doctrine re-instated (Google Fairness Doctrine). But the facts are, John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, George Wallace, Martin Luther King, Ronald Reagan, John Lennon, and two attempts on Gerald Ford's life all took place from the 1960s to the 1980s, when the so called Fairness Doctrine was on the books. The Fairness Doctrine sure prevented shootings and assassinations, didn't it?

And then there's ex-congressman Paul Kanjorski spouting off about civility and respect and stopping the rhetoric and hate speech. But this is what Kanjorski said on 10/23/2010 when running for office (yes, he LOST, that goodness). "That Scott down there that's running for Governor of Florida, instead of running for Governor of Florida they ought'a put him against the wall and shoot him.....He's no hero. He's a damned crook." Very civil, wouldn't you say?

And are you all asking yourself why the Left is so rapidly jumping on the this-was-political bandwagon, yet when the Ft. Hood shooter killed 13 people and the Christmas bomber got on a plane with a bomb the Left quickly said "don't jump to conclusions, don't call him a Muslim terrorist." "Let's investigate this first." Ooooo, Political Correctness. Can't say Muslim and terrorist in the same breath.

The same people who try to convince us that violent, sleazy, sexual scenes in movies or video games cannot be blamed for violent, sleazy, sexual acts against society are now telling us that talk radio and TV "naturally leads to violence against politicians." This is exploitative rhetoric of the worst kind.

And the beat goes on. Everyone is to blame, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly, all conservative talk radio, Fox News, TV, the Tea Party followers, and on and on ad infinitum.

But the truth is that every society has madmen who do horrific things. Every society has deranged lunatics carrying out their demented delusions, delusions which become very real to their victims and families who must pick up the pieces of their lives and go on. We cannot begin to imagine their pain.

I believe, though, that any action to curtail inflammatory speech would lead to control of ALL speech, and there is no one in government, business, politics or the press whom I would trust with that power. Our First Amendment rights are on the table, and those rights could be obliterated by the stroke of a President's pen - not through a Constitutional Amendment but by Executive Order or the FCC barging right through the back door.

Now here is Zach Osler and the skinny on Zeitgeist.

I'm Gonna Whine - I Didn't Get Invited!

Why didn't Michelle invite me too? She invited 40 some friends along for a five-day trip to a luxury resort in Spain, and since my tax dollars paid for most of the trip I think I should have been able to go along.

Her entourage stayed at a Ritz-Carlton resort in the mountains outside Marbella occupying 60-70 rooms with rates starting at $400 and rising to $6500, yes, that's per night. According to CBS News the tax dollar portion of the vacation included approximately $146,000 round-trip cost for Air Force two, not counting ground time; about $95,000 in hotel costs for an estimated 70 security personnel (Secret Service and military, who get a $273-a-day government per diem); plus costs for the dozen or so cars in her motorcade, plus costs for meals, fuel for the cars, incidentals, etc. Three shifts of agents were needed for a trip of this magnitude. And the White House won't disclose the total cost to the taxpayer. Must be CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, I guess.

So where is the austerity they try to impose on us? Last month Michelle stated that parents "looking for things to do with their kids...Florida is a wonderful place to visit." So why didn't she take her kids to Florida, or the Gulf, where tourism is suffering tremendously, where the people would have been ever so grateful, where she urged us to vacation? The tax dollars spent in Spain may have provided a job or two to Gulf residents who are out of work due to the embargo on oil drilling in the Gulf, thanks to her husband. Oh, but I'm sorry, Florida and the Gulf aren't good enough for Queen Michelle.

Mr. Obama has urged frugality in lean economic times by cautioning families not to "blow a bunch of cash in Vegas." While most of the country is pinching pennies and downsizing summer travels, or foregoing them altogether, the Obamas don't seem to be heeding their own advice. The Material Girl and King Obama are elites, woefully out of touch with struggling unemployed American families.

What the Obamas do with their money is their business - but what they do with OURS is our business. And we as a country are out of money.

I can hardly wait until November 2010 and 2012 and onward from there!

Let me hear from you with your opinions and thoughts on whether or not you would like to have been invited along, since you also paid for it.
