		<description><![CDATA[As usual, the mainstream media is having a field day reporting on the Mel Gibson statement, but their coverage of the New Black Panthers has been sparse to non-existent.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>WARNING: THIS POST MAY CONTAIN LANGUAGE THAT MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME READERS. I DON&#8217;T CENSOR SPEECH OR BAN WORDS ON THIS BLOG. READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!<br />
BETTER YET; IF YOU&#8217;RE THAT UP-TIGHT I SUGGEST READING RED STATE. </strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p></strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Mel Gibson allegedly said the following in a secretly recorded conversation with his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he’s currently involved in a heated custody battle over their 20 month daughter, Lucia.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;You&#8217;re an embarrassment to me, you look like a fucking pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of niggers, it will be your fault.&#8221;</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The leader of the Philadelphia chapter of The New Black Panther Party, Minister King Samir Shabazz (aka Maurice Heath) said the following:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;You want freedom? You&#8217;re gonna have to kill some crackers! You&#8217;re gonna have to kill some of their babies!&#8221; </strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Check him out in his own words.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p> <p><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/2010/07/13/mel-gibsons-racism-must-be-addressed/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Gibson is an Actor/Director who makes a movie about once every 3 or 4 years; no one is compelled to watch his films.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Shabazz is a political activist who stood in front of a Philadelphia polling station on Election Day of 2008 attempting to intimidate white voters and poll workers. Shabazz also seems to have some friends in very high places, otherwise he&#8217;d probably be preaching in a federal prison yard somewhere. As you can see from the video, Shabazz has absolutely no fear of spewing his anti-white hatred in full view of the public.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Originally, the U.S. Department of Justice looked into this clear-cut case of voter intimidation; but the case was abruptly dropped when Eric Holder became the AG. Whistleblower and former Justice Department attorney, J. Christian Adams, resigned over the blatant race-based decision to not prosecute the Philadelphia New Black Panthers. Adams claimed that the DOJ is openly following a policy of not pursuing civil-rights crimes where Whites and Asians are the alleged victims. I don’t believe it! That doesn’t sound like something Eric Holder or Barack Hussein Obama would tolerate – does it?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Predictably, the mainstream media is having a field day reporting on the Mel Gibson fiasco, but their coverage of the New Black Panthers has been sparse to non-existent. About the only TV media outlet covering the New Black Panther story has been Fox News. This fact hasn’t been lost on the National Chairman of The New Black Panther Party, Malik Shabazz, (Another Shabazz? Is this a family business?) who told a Russian TV reporter that Fox News was <strong>“stoking racial fears”</strong> by reporting on the DOJ handling of the New Black Panther Party. Shabaaz also claimed that <strong>“the Fox News audience was made up of mostly white right wingers, some independents, confederates and racist organizations and that their base are mostly dissatisfied whites who want to take back America.”</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Shabazz was also nice enough to warn the Tea Party that <strong>“We’re ready to rumble.”</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>And Mel Gibson is a raving racist wacko?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Mel Gibson doesn’t try to prevent people from voting. Mel Gibson doesn’t stand on a street corner with a microphone and spew anti-black venom. Mel Gibson doesn’t advocate killing blacks and their babies.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Mel Gibson may very well be an angry violent drunk, an asshole, and a heel, but he doesn’t seem to pose a danger to anyone who isn’t involved in a relationship with him. Gibson doesn&#8217;t attempt to infringe on people&#8217;s civil rights! It&#8217;s well within the realm of possibility that Mel Gibson is a racist, but it&#8217;s a 100% certain that the New Black Panthers are!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>While skimming through the coverage of the Mel Gibson tape, (CNN Headline News with Nancy Grace) I heard a black female attorney say that “his (Gibson) racial tirades are going to have to be addressed.” What the hell does that mean – addressed? Last I checked, Gibson, Malik Shabaaz, and anyone else for that matter, still have the right of free speech. Should the racial tirades of the Black Panther Party also be “addressed?” This type of speech is far more frightening to me than either Gibson’s or the Black Panther Party’s!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Yet another clown who was discussing the Gibson case went out of his way to call him a “conservative.” I suppose that this finally proves those Conservatives and Tea Party participants are <em>Racists </em>– ooooh you really got us there pal!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>These mainstream media buffoons don’t seem to care nearly as much about the alleged physical abuse by Gibson against Oksana Grigorieva as they do about his use of the word <em>nigger</em>. I guess that we’ve finally come to a time in our country when words speak louder than actions. Punching your girlfriend and the mother of your child in the face (allegedly knocking out her teeth) is one thing, but uttering the “N-word” – now that’s crossing the line! That’ll have to be “addressed.”
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>It’s getting sicker and sicker by the day!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve been taking it easy for a little while trying to take a short break from Politics, Obama, Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, Socialists, Communists, and Marxists, along with all the other Idiots, Dummies, Fools, Dimwits, Ignoramuses, and Nincompoops that threaten the existence of the America that most of us have come to know and love.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>This past weekend I took the time to watch some MMA fights (Mixed Martial Arts) from UFC 115 from Vancouver Canada. One thing that I’ve learned over the years is that sports journalists and announcers are just as stupid and just as biased as those from the mainstream media that we’ve all come to know and despise.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Saturday’s fight card featured a light-heavyweight bout between Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell and Rich “Ace” Franklin. Another feature fight was between heavyweights Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic and Pat Barry.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Much like the jerks in the MSM, the people covering the above mentioned bouts came into the event with their own preconceived notions as to how the bouts should go, who should win, who was too old, who was too slow, and who shouldn’t fight anymore. Like the MSM, they were also ready to spin the outcomes if they didn’t match up to their pre-fight templates.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Let’s start with Cro Cop vs. Pat Barry. From the get-go, Pat Barry was the sentimental favorite of the announcer and commentator. They played on the same ole stereotypes that only liberals and sports journalists seem to be able to get away with.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Pat Barry is younger than Cro Cop (by four years, 35-31 &#8211; Oh my God!) so he was said to be more energetic and have more stamina than Cro Cop.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Pat Barry (Like the Barry in the White House) is half black so that automatically meant that he was more <em>athletic</em> than Cro Cop.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>If you listened to the commentators, (whose names I won’t mention) you would have believed that Pat Barry would wipe the floor with Cro Cop and send him back to Croatia in a pine box.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>When the first round began, Pat Barry got off to a good start thus feeding the already inflated egos of the commentators. They observed how much “faster” Pat Barry was. As if speed really means all that much when fighting in a cage. Barry then proceeded to knock Cro Cop on his butt twice within a short period of time. The first time was more from loss of balance rather than the actual blow. The second time Barry caught Cro Cop with a solid blow to the side of the face. The commentator even speculated that Cro Cop had sustained a broken jaw or broken cheekbone because of the rapid swelling of his face. <em>He’s not a real doctor, he just plays one when commentating on MMA fights</em>. Both times Cro Cop jumped backed to his feet quickly although Pat Barry made no effort to rush him while he was on the mat. The commentators immediately pounced to the conclusion that Barry had given Cro Cop a break by not attacking him while he was down. Pat Barry clearly won the first round and the commentators were in awe of their own wisdom. It was only a matter of time before Barry put Cro Cop down for good.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I won’t bore you with the details, but Cro Cop tore Pat Barry to shreds over the next two rounds finally winning by submission (Choke) with 30 seconds left in the third and final round.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><div id="attachment_4535" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/mirkocrocopufc99.jpg"><img src="http://www.gothamresistance.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/mirkocrocopufc99-300x199.jpg" alt="" title="mirkocrocopufc99" width="300" height="199" class="size-medium wp-image-4535" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cro Cop bashes Pat Barry</p></div>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>After the fight was over, the commentators droned on about the first round insinuating that Barry could have finished off Cro Cop if he hadn’t given him a “break.” They completely overlooked the fact that Barry may not have wanted to go to the ground with Cro Cop because he (Barry) lacks a ground game. Cro Cop wasn’t just laying there flat on his back, he was already getting up anticipating Barry’s rush. I believe that Barry was correct in not wanting to go to the ground as proved by the ease with which Cro Cop handled him on the floor in rounds 2 and 3. Instead of crediting Cro Cop with a great comeback victory after losing the first round, they spun it as Cro Cop being lucky. They created the template for a Barry victory and couldn’t let it go when the results proved them dead wrong. Sound familiar?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>In the Chuck Liddell – Rich Franklin fight, the template stated that Liddell was too old (40) and that he should not have come back into the ring after a 14 month layoff and two straight loses by knockout. It seems that whenever an athlete reaches a certain age the morons in the media begin their endless blabbering about retirement. I believe it&#8217;s a jealousy thing. Maybe there should be a mandatory retirement age for members of the media – how great would that be?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>When the fight finally began, Liddell was his usual aggressive self stalking Franklin all over the ring. Liddell was the clear aggressor with Franklin in constant retreat. At one point Liddell broke Franklin’s left forearm with a brutal kick. Near the end of the round Liddell rushed Franklin and threw him down against the cage wailing on him. Franklin managed to get back up and was in retreat once again with Liddell in hot pursuit. Then out of nowhere, Liddell walked into a short right hand by Franklin and fell to the ground unconscious – <em>winner Rich Franklin by knockout</em>! The punch that Franklin threw was a defensive punch while almost falling backwards under the attack of Liddell. It was much more of a <em>lucky punch </em>than a <em>hard punch</em>.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Now there may very well be something wrong with Chuck Liddell; he should not have been knocked out by that awkward punch! Perhaps it’s because he’s been knocked over the noggin one too many times over his career – one too many concussions. However, if Liddell would have backed off the final 5 seconds of the round instead of aggressively pursuing Franklin, he would most likely have won the fight. The chances are that the doctors would not have allowed Franklin to come out for the second round with a broken arm. Hiding the arm injury was the only way Franklin would have been able to answer the bell for round 2. I don’t think Franklin would have done that. God forbid that any reporter ask him that question!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><div id="attachment_4537" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/capress-mma_ufc_115-3636552.jpg"><img src="http://www.gothamresistance.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/capress-mma_ufc_115-3636552.jpg" alt="" title="capress-mma_ufc_115-3636552" width="300" height="285" class="size-full wp-image-4537" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Liddell and Franklin face off</p></div>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Rich Franklin won the fight, but he was losing the round right up to the last five seconds. It wasn’t a great fight for Franklin! It was much more a case of Liddell losing the match in spectacular fashion rather than Franklin winning it in spectacular fashion. If Liddell would have survived those final five seconds the commentators and media covering the event would have been <em>forced</em> to sing his praises as a warrior who came back and beat a good fighter proving everyone who thought he was washed up wrong. Instead, Liddell has now basically been branded a bum who didn&#8217;t have any business stepping back into the ring. Is the media fickle or what? They didn’t care about the details of the fight, they only cared that Liddell lost and that they were supposedly proven right.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Watching these fights, I once again proved to myself that sports media can often be as irritating as the MSM. In fact, there really isn’t much difference. Both media entities create their own reality, and then use spin to defend that reality at all costs. That’s what made it so simple for that pathetic joke by the name of Keith Olbermann to transition from ESPN to MSNBC. Different topics – same BS!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>

		<description><![CDATA[Again, I want someone to explain how a law that is targeted at ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS can be described as anti-immigration? The number of Visas and the number of immigrants allowed into our country hasn’t changed – the state of Arizona can’t do that! The United States still leads the world in the number of immigrants which we allow into our country. No other country comes close!

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my April 24<sup>th</sup> post titled <strong>‘mainstream media just can’t help themselves’ </strong>I pointed out how WABC radio in New York was referring to the recently past Arizona law that gives police the right to question people about their immigration status as “<strong><em>anti-immigration</em></strong>&#8221; legislation.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I was briefly listening to the radio station again yesterday (Saturday) and the network newscast again referred to the law as “<strong><em>anti-immigration</em></strong>.&#8221; One time could be a slip of the tongue or a misprint in the news copy, but twice in two days at random times? The media also refuses to understand, or refuses to report that the Arizona law is actually identical to the current federal law. The difference is that there is no one enforcing the federal law. After all, we don&#8217;t have a national police force &#8211; at least not yet.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Again, I want someone at ABC News to explain how a law that is targeted at <strong>ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS </strong>can be described as anti-immigration? The number of Visas and the number of people permitted to immigrate into our country hasn’t changed – the state of Arizona can’t do that! The United States still has the most generous immigration policy in the world; no other country comes close!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Anti-Immigration, ABC News? How about <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Anti-Illegal Immigration</span></strong>?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Evidently, the MSM aren’t the only ones who have a big problem with the Arizona legislation. Barack Obama has criticized the legislation and vowed to change it through “<em>comprehensive immigration reform</em>.” <em>The Congressional Hispanic Caucus</em> has also vowed to fight the Arizona law. By the way, where’s the <em>Congressional White</em> or the <em>Congressional American Caucus</em>?  Even Al Sharpton is said to be planning a march through the streets of Arizona to protest the law. Apparently all of the recent violence in NYC has been black on white, or black on black, so Sharpton has to take his show on the road.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Of course the Mexican government has also spoken out against the Arizona law. How dare we not let them dump all of their poor and uneducated people on us! The Mexican government is a disgrace! Instead of making the necessary governmental reforms, they basically encourage millions of their own citizens to take a hike. Let the Mexican underclass become the problem of the American taxpayer; what a grand solution!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The Arizona law was passed through the proper democratic and legislative channels, and is in my humble opinion legal! Besides the new tools it gives to police, it also toughens restrictions and fines for hiring and transporting illegal aliens. If initiated on a national scale, tougher fines and restrictions on hiring illegal immigrants would go a very long way in solving the problem. Supporters of Comprehensive Immigration Reform have been making the ridiculous argument that we can’t possibly round-up and deport all of the illegal immigrants – so we may as well give them amnesty. That argument is nothing more than a smokescreen! We don’t have to “round-up” illegal immigrants. All we have to do is make it so economically dangerous for unscrupulous employers to hire them. If the illegal money and illegal jobs dried up, I believe that most illegal immigrants would round themselves up and go back home. The insane anchor-baby laws also have to be abolished. This is the law which allows illegal aliens to stay in our country and access social and educational services at the great expense of hard-working taxpayers. I may be insane, but I believe that a child born in the United States to an <strong><em>illegal immigrant</em></strong> is also an <strong><em>illegal immigrant </em></strong>– plain and simple!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The Arizona law is a start in the right direction, but there is so much more we could and should be doing on the federal level to effectively put an end to illegal immigration. The problem has been the lack of political will to stop this crime. The Democrats want more ignorant and dependent people added to their voting bloc, and many Republicans want to preserve cheap labor for their business constituents.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I believe that most Americans know the difference between legal and illegal immigration. Illegal immigration has become a burden too heavy to bear by hardworking, over-taxed American citizens.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Enough is enough already!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The morally and intellectually corrupt mainstream media has become so predictable in their biased reporting that even Charlie, my British Shorthair, knows what they are about to say before they say it.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>This afternoon I turned on the TV and started to surf the channels when I briefly stopped on MSNBC because I saw that they were covering the trial of the punk (David Kernell) who hacked into Sarah Palin’s e-mail account during the 2008 presidential campaign.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Kernell is the 22 year old son of a Tennessee Democrat lawmaker &#8211; what a shocker!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The lovely and objective Andrea Mitchell was anchoring and speaking to a correspondent covering the trial. The reporter was winding down his coverage but I kept it on because I had a premonition that Mitchell was going to take a jab at Palin in one way or another.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Surprise, surprise, Mitchell closed the report by mentioning that she had spoke to a prosecutor from Florida who told her that the prosecution in the Palin case was “grandstanding.” She just had to get that in!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>If Andrea Mitchell were covering a story about the trial of a person who hacked into Michelle Obama’s e-mail and gave out personal information about her daughters, she would be calling for the death penalty.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>  <br />
Like all of the on-air personalities on MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell is a shameless hack for the Obama administration and the Democrat Party. They have given up all pretense of being objective and they don’t care how obvious it is.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Pathetic!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>At another point during the day I was tuned into 77-WABC Radio, home of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin when the bottom of the hour network propaganda news came on. The newsman was talking about the new immigration bill that was signed into office today in Arizona. The law gives police the right to ask a person about his citizenship status if they believe that they may be in the country illegally.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The newsman ended the story by saying that the law signed by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer was the most sweeping “<strong><em>anti-immigration</em></strong>” legislation in the country.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Anti-immigration??????????
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>What in the hell does ant-immigration have to do with ILLEGAL ALIENS?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>This is the M.O. of the mainstream media. They throw their own subtle spin and innuendos into the reporting of the news hoping that it will stick in the brains of the dumb and uninformed. It’s sort of like the subliminal advertising that’s used by Madison Avenue ad agencies. They throw a word in here, a phrase in there, with the hope of injecting their editorial views into what should be straight news stories.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The good news is that more and more people are becoming wise to their trickery as highlighted by the dismal ratings of the big three, CNN, and MSNBC. </p>

They have exploited this horrific incident to cover their incompetence, to demonize political opponents, and to stifle dissent coming from the alternative media. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The mainstream media made sure we didn’t forget that yesterday (April 19<sup>th</sup>) was the 15<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombings. The OKC bombing has been a favorite talking point and retort against people who dare worry about Islamic terrorism. The media loves having a lily-white American male terrorist to rub into the faces of right-wing Islamophobes. Rosie O’Donnell and her ilk enjoy having the white Christian male trump card up their sleeves to show that Christianity is just as dangerous as Radical Islam.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Yesterday, MSNBC premiered their two hour documentary on the OKC bombing entitled ‘<em><strong>The McVeigh Tapes: Confessions of an American Terrorist</strong></em>.’ The show was narrated by none other than Rachael Maddow; the same Rachael Maddow who hosts a nightly propaganda show on MSNBC which is viewed by about 10 or 12 far left kooks.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I know that Maddow and her employers at MSNBC would tell you that the show was produced to highlight the 15<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The reality is that the show was produced and aired in order to discredit the current anti-government, anti-Obama sentiment which is sweeping the country, and will likely sweep the Democrats out of their Congressional majorities this coming November. It’s also a cynical attempt to target the ‘Tea Party Movement’ as dangerous anti-government radicals that Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols would be proud to be a part of.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Make no mistake, if the Tea Party movement wasn’t so popular and if Obama’s approval ratings weren’t so low, this “documentary” would never have been produced. You see, the Tea Party movement is full of potential Timothy McVeighs. These people hate government and hate our black president. It’s only a matter of time before they turn to violence. Beware America!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>That was the not so subtle message of the so-called documentary.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>With the precision of a Swiss timepiece, our former impeached and disbarred president, Bill Clinton, used this occasion to push his all so predictable Rush Limbaugh conspiracy theory on the OKC bombings. For years this pathological liar has blamed the “harsh rhetoric” of Limbaugh and his far-right minions for the attack. As usual, Clinton refuses to take any responsibility for the event that happened on his watch. George Bush was solely responsible for, or complicit in, the 911 attacks, but OKC and Waco was the responsibility of a guy who talks on the radio for three hours a day.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Getting back to the documentary; I wonder why MSNBC didn’t speak with the dozens of eyewitnesses who saw “Middle Eastern” men with McVeigh before and during the bombing of the Murrah Building. I wonder why they didn’t speak to one of the first reporters to rush to the scene of the gruesome mass murder; an award winning investigative reporter working for KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City. I’m speaking of Jayna Davis, author of the NY Times bestselling book <strong><em>The Third Terrorist: The Middle East Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing</em></strong>. No…MSNBC was busy interviewing people from the far-left “civil rights organization” &#8211; Southern Christian Leadership Conference. They were busy throwing out innuendos comparing the mood of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols to the mood of the current anti-Washington movement.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>If you don’t know much about Jayna Davis and her investigation into the bombing of the Murrah Building, I would recommend that you visit her website <a href="http://www.jaynadavis.com/">here</a>, and check out her book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Third-Terrorist-Connection-Oklahoma-Bombing/dp/1595552367/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1271821846&amp;sr=1-1">here</a>.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Like Jayna Davis, I’m not absolving McVeigh and Nichols from their guilt in the mass murder. They are guilty as hell and got what they deserved. I do however believe that they had plenty of help in carrying out the bombing. I believe that the corrupt Clinton administration by means of their corrupt Justice Department led by the corrupt Janet Reno and the corrupt Jamie Gorelick, quickly crushed any investigation that may have proved foreign involvement in the bombing. Clinton did what he did during his entire tenure, which was to ignore the cancer of Islamic terrorism growing within our country, and anything else that required a tough decision. The government had their white Christian male terrorists and that was the end of it.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Check out Jayna Davis during an appearance on the O’Reilly Factor on March of 2001.</p>

<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>At the very least, shouldn’t the Middle East connection have been thoroughly investigated by the FBI? As is often the case, political agendas often trump the search for truth.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The far left has gotten a lot of mileage from the “domestic terrorist attack” that took place on April 19<sup>th</sup>, 1995. They have exploited this horrific incident to cover their incompetence, to demonize political opponents, and to stifle dissent coming from the alternative media.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>It’s no surprise that they’re once again using this tragedy to come to the defense of a failing leftist president and to discredit everyday Americans who dare to disagree with their government. It&#8217;s as disgraceful as it is scarry!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you happened to be one of the 5 or 6 people watching CNN’s Campbell Brown this past Monday you saw first hand the stark difference between the Left and Right of American politics. Helping to highlight this even more was the pathetic excuse for an anchorman, Rick Sanchez, who happened to be substituting for Campbell Brown – whoever the hell he is.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The guests for this particular segment were Jordan Marks, the executive director of the <a href="http://www.yaf.com/">Young Americans for Freedom</a>, and one of the most vile and dishonest congressman to ever set foot on Capital Hill, Alan Grayson (D-Fl.).
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Just as a little reminder of who this vicious animal is:
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><p><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/2010/04/02/cnns-rick-sanchez-and-congressman-alan-grayson-gang-up-on-young-conservative/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Let me just remind everyone that Jordan Marks is about 30 years younger than Alan Grayson.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Typical for CNN, the segment started off with Rick Sanchez immediately resorting to left-wing talking points and outright lies.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Here’s what the jackass said:
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><strong>“Jordan, let me ask you a question. I know people are angry out there. But, you know, we&#8217;ve seen some real ugliness. More than 10 congressmen have received death threats. You know, last week when the tea party was there in Washington, John Lewis was called the &#8220;n&#8221; word. Elijah Cummings was spat on. I mean, it goes on and on. A lot of people say that the tea party has incited this kind of behavior. What is your response to that?”</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>First of all Rick, it was Emanuel Cleaver who claims he was spit on, not Elijah Cummings. I guess those black congressmen all look alike to you. How about doing some research and prep next time before going on the air and opening your big trap!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The fact is that there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that anyone called John Lewis the “n-word.” The supposed spitting incident regarding <em>Emanuel Cleaver</em> has been discredited by a video that captured the whole phony non-event. (<a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/2010/03/27/democrats-using-the-same-old-smokescreen-victimhood-and-racism/">See here</a>) The only proven case of a congressman receiving death threats has been the threats against Republican Minority Whip, Eric Cantor of Virginia, who was publicly threatened on YouTube by an Obama supporting self-proclaimed gay Muslim by the name of Norman Leboon. Leboon has been arrested for the threats.  (<a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/2010/03/30/media-refusing-to-report-that-the-man-arrested-for-threatening-eric-cantor%E2%80%99s-life-is-a-gay-muslim/">See here</a>) All of the other supposed death threats against Democrat congressmen have not been substantiated; it’s just Democrats making claims – in other words lying.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>This Rick Sanchez is a total disgrace!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Then the pathological liar Alan Grayson steps in with this:
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><strong>“There have been all sorts of efforts to insight violence by the right-wing. And that&#8217;s the way the right- wing operates. That&#8217;s the way it&#8217;s operated historically. And I&#8217;m glad to see that at least one person here on the air is willing to try to separate himself. But the fact is that it comes from the ideology and not from any one particular person.”</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>This blatant piece of propaganda would make Joseph Stalin beam with pride! This is typical of leftist scumbags like Grayson. He isn’t a stupid man – not in that sense. He full well realizes that he’s speaking about the radical left when he utters this lie. This is a gimmick that’s been used for decades by the left; it’s called projection. You accuse the other side of doing exactly what you do, knowing that it will stick with some of the idiots and ignoramuses who happen to be listening at the time. It’s classic Saul Alinsky!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>After some further back and forth with Sanchez and Grayson double teaming young Jordan Marks, the putrid Grayson said the following:
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><strong>“You know, listen, people like you &#8212; people like you &#8212; and it&#8217;s very apt that your name is Marks &#8212; people like you, your dreams turn into other people&#8217;s nightmares. And it&#8217;s time you owned up to it.”</strong></p>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>There goes that lying piece of excrement once again!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>He cynically attempts to compare the “right-wing” with the hero of the radical-left, Karl Marx. That’s really, really rich! But then again, many of the morons who watch CNN will soak up this lie into their porous brains. I can imagine how many fools will now be comparing the Tea Party with Karl Marx. Democrats like Grayson know that most of their supporters are dumb as doorknobs – that’s how they get away with all of the propaganda and lying.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Also, it’s quite pathetic to see this fifty-something year old congressman use a kindergarten tactic like equating people on the basis of their name. What a display of intellectual depth! <em>Ha-ha, you’re name is Bush….ha-ha you must be a stupid liar just like he was, ha-ha. </em>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>If you watch the video (<a href="http://www.yaf.com/news/details.php?newsId=614">Here)</a> you’ll see a young man (Jordan Marks) who is mature and composed, but a bit overwhelmed. He allowed the false premise within Sanchez&#8217;s dishonest question to dominate the debate. Marks naively attempts to distance the Tea Party movement from something that never happened. <strong>There was no use of the n-word, and there was no spiting!</strong> Grayson then takes the lying up a notch by claiming that his 5 year old son recieved death threats. If that&#8217;s true, release the letter/e-mail or recording. You can&#8217;t because it&#8217;s blatant lie and you&#8217;re a sick bastard for using your son as a prop!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>All in all, the young Mr. Marks did a decent job. He was pretty brave to go up against these two vicious Hyenas &#8211; he&#8217;ll only get better with experience.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p> In a world where many young people allow themselves to be indoctrinated by their teachers, professors, pop-culture, and the media, it&#8217;s great to have an organization like the Young Americans for Freedom. These young people stand out as bright examples of the power of logical independent thought. While it’s extremely likely that the Democrats are going to be totally obliterated in this November’s election, the radical Marxist Left will still be alive and well waiting for the time when the indoctrinated and brainwashed young people of today will come of age and take the country over once and for all. This is the battle we face. If we can’t reach these young people and teach them to think for themselves, the upcoming elections will only temporarily hold off the inevitable. That’s why Obama and his ilk put so much energy and resources into capturing the hearts and minds of America’s children. That’s why organizations like the Young Americans for Freedom are vital to the future of this great country.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Keep it up YAF!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It greatly pains the mainstream media to have to report on the arrest of a man who is being charged with threatening the life of House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R–Va.) and his family. It pains them because all of the other claims made by Democrats about right-wing threats after the healthcare vote have gone unsubstantiated or turned out to just be angry voicemails. This doesn’t quite fit into the media’s political template.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>To add insult to the media’s injuries, it turns out that the man in question, Norman Leboon, calls himself a Muslim. If he isn’t, he sure as hell seems to be supportive of the radical Islamic anti-Semitic agenda. That’s why the media aren’t reporting it! Leboon had also made two donations to Barack Hussein Obama for a total of $505. That doesn’t necessarily make him a bad guy – maybe stupid, but the media hasn’t been able to find any crazy “Tea Baggers” who threatened to kill a federal official and who also donated money to George Bush or Sarah Palin. I’m sure they’ll keep looking.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>So far, the media talking point seems to be that Leboon is a “nut.” This of course lessens the impact (in the minds of the media) of the threats against Rep. Cantor. After all, if the man is a nut-case it means that hate wasn’t a factor in his actions – unlike the racists in the Tea Party who are seething with hate towards the first half black president.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>According to Fox News, this miscreant posted a video on YouTube in which he made the following threats against Cantor:
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><strong>&#8220;My Congressman Eric Cantor, and you and your cupcake evil wife, remember Eric &#8230; our judgment time, the final Yom Kippur has been given. You are a liar, you&#8217;re a Lucifer, you&#8217;re a pig, a greedy fucking pig, you&#8217;re an abomination, you receive my bullets in your office, remember they will be placed in your heads. You and your children are Lucifer&#8217;s abominations.&#8221; </strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The video has been removed from YouTube, but if you have nothing better to do, you can go there and view many of his other demented ramblings.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Of course, when the media and the authorities finally have to fess up and report that Baboon, I mean LeBoon is a Muslim, they’ll say that his religion and the religion of Rep. Cantor (Jewish) didn’t play any role. Much like was originally said about the Fort Hood jihadist, Nidal Malik Hasan.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>If all of this wasn&#8217;t bad enough for the media, it now turns out that Leboon is also gay. As we all know, the media&#8217;s rigid template doesn&#8217;t allow for violent homosexuals.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I wonder where Islam stands on homosexuality when the homosexual in question is a raving anti-Semite who threatens to kill a conservative Jewish-American politician – do they give some sort of a special dispensation for such cases?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Poor media… they can’t catch a break in the aftermath of healthcare reform. They couldn’t come up with any proof that Rep. John Lewis was called a “nigger” 15 times. The spitting incident reported by Rep. Emanuel Cleaver was shot down by a revealing video, and the only real physical violence was against Cantor’s office which was struck by a bullet.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In yesterday’s post I commented on how only Dummies and Socialists could possibly support the healthcare reform legislation that was passed by Congressional Democrats on Sunday and signed into law today by Barack Hussein Obama.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Today I happened to see a link on the <a href="http://drudgereport.com/">Drudge Report</a> to WARL.Com in North Carolina. The story was titled <strong>Having insurance ‘going to be like Christmas.’</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The story featured brain-dead or brain-washed reporters interviewing ignorant dummies about the passage of the healthcare reform bill. <a href="http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/7281166/">Read full story here</a>.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The first person featured in the story was a man named DeCarlo Flythe, who showed both his excitement and ignorance in regards to the healthcare bill by saying <strong>“It’s going to be like Christmas.” </strong>Flythe who is said to have lost health coverage for his family three years ago when he was laid off from his job also said <strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be great. You know, no worries (about) the bills. We are going to go ahead and pay our co-pay and be alright.&#8221;</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>This guy sounds a lot like the infamous, Peggy Joseph.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Remember her?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><p><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/2010/03/23/it-didn%e2%80%99t-take-long-%e2%80%93-idiots-speaking-out-on-healthcare-reform/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Maybe the dumbass reporter should have informed Mr. Flythe that the reform won’t really go into effect until 2014. Oh yeah, I forgot; it’s not the reporters job to correct assertions made by people they are interviewing – right? More on that a little later.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Does Mr. Flythe realize that the legislation that passed is not a “free” government-run single-payer system &#8211; at least not yet? Until then, Mr. Flythe will be forced to buy health insurance from an insurance company, and pay the premiums that go along with that. Only when the private insurance companies are totally wiped out by this legisilation will Mr. Flythe have what he seems to believe he now has.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Another sob-story case featured in the piece was about a man named Norman Rucker, who claimed that he hadn’t had health insurance for the past ten years because his employers didn’t offer any.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Mr. Rucker went on to say the following: <strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m not a person who gets sick a lot, so I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d need any medicine.&#8221; </strong>Rucker said that he racked up about $100,000 in hospital bills over that period by going to the emergency room whenever he needed care. <strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m trying to pay them off. Collection agencies call me all the time,&#8221;</strong> he said.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>What the hell?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Not a person who gets sick a lot? Ten thousand dollars per year on emergency room visits? I’d love to hear what Mr. Rucker’s idea of a hypochondriac is.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Mr. Rucker ended the interview with this tear-jerking quote: <strong>&#8220;It&#8217;ll make the world better. It&#8217;ll make us all better, actually.”</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Both Mr. Flythe and Mr. Rucker were patients at the Walltown Clinic in Durham, North Carolina. According to WARL.Com, the clinic is a joint program of Duke University and Lincoln Community Health Center that serves the low-income neighborhoods near Duke&#8217;s campus. The clinic serves 3,000 to 4,000 patients a year – 80 percent don&#8217;t have health insurance – and charges co-pays based on what patients can afford.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Wait a minute; the impression that I got from the story was that Mr. Flythe and Mr. Rucker didn’t have any health insurance, and therefore had no healthcare. Silly me! I guess it’s just that the two men somehow believe that government mandated, or government run insurance would be better than the care they’re now getting from the Walltown Clinic, or the care that they could probably already receive from Medicaid. Mr. Flythe &amp; Mr. Rucker are evidently true believers in the God of Big Government.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Now back to the reporters who brought us this heartwarming story of hope. Earlier in the post I rhetorically asked why the reporters didn’t attempt to correct the obvious misconceptions of the people they were interviewing.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I confess that I realize full well that reporters only correct and challenge the people they are covering when the people happen to be Conservatives/Republicans.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Remember when this pathetic excuse for a reporter took it upon herself to “educate” the evil racists attending a Tea Party rally. 
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><p><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/2010/03/23/it-didn%e2%80%99t-take-long-%e2%80%93-idiots-speaking-out-on-healthcare-reform/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The fact is that WRAL purposely went to a location where they knew that the reaction to the healthcare reform bill would be positive. They don’t care if they make the pawns that they’re using to push their agenda look like ignorant buffoons. The media will now take it upon themselves to hit the road and report on phony stories about the huge success of the Obama healthcare legislation. I predict that you&#8217;ll soon see polls that will show how people are supposedly very happy with the new system and that they now have improved healthcare. The truth matters little to the propagandists in the media, and the Socialists, Marxists, Progressives, and Communists in the Democrat Party and in the White House.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday Glenn Beck had whacko Democrat ex-congressman Eric Massa on his Fox News Channel program. Before he started the show he went through his machinations on the blackboard almost predicting that the show would be a gigantic waste of time.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>That wasn’t a hard prediction to make. I don’t believe that Glenn Beck thought for a second that Massa would bring anything new or deep to the table. Massa is obviously a bonafide buffoon who makes Rod Blagojevich seem sane by comparison. How Glenn Beck could actually believe that Massa, who has been a member of congress for a little bit over a year, could give him the “inside scoop” about the seedy backroom dealings of congress is beyond me. How Beck could have expected anything more than the insane ramblings and generalities that he got from Massa is mind numbing.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>In my humble opinion, Glenn Beck knew exactly what he was going to get from Mr. Massa. His apology at the end of the program for wasting the viewer’s time was  at the very least disingenuous.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>There are only three reasons for Beck having Massa on his show yesterday.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>They are:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>RATINGS</strong></li>
<li><strong>RATINGS</strong></li>
<li><strong>RATINGS</strong></li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p>I don’t begrudge Glenn Beck or any other television personality for wanting high ratings. The problem is that Glenn Beck has spent at least the past year trying to project the image that he’s above it all. When he apologized to his viewers last night he was doing so in order to protect that image from the charade that he just aired.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>According to the Drudge Report, Beck almost beat out The O’Reilly Factor last night falling just 94 viewers shy of being the highest rated Cable News program. The O’Reilly Factor had <strong>3,499,000</strong> while Beck had <strong>3,406,000</strong>. Sean Hannity came in third with <strong>2,901,000</strong>.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I simply don’t believe that Glenn Beck didn’t realize that the whacky Eric Massa, with his loony stories of “tickle fights” with staff and nude shower encounters with Rahm Emanuel, would be a ratings sensation. What gem did Massa reveal to Beck during his private interview with him and/or his staff prior to being on his program that he then withheld as soon as he got on the air?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Please Glenn – I know that you’re the all-knowing savior of our country, but everyone isn’t as dumb as you seem to think they are!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For some time now I’ve wanted to post my opinion on Glenn Beck and his constant droning about how there is no difference between the Democrats and Republicans. The best way to explain my procrastination on the subject is “so much to say – so little time.”
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I actually liked Glenn Beck when I first discovered him on CNN before he joined the Fox News Channel. I thought that he was interesting and different. I also liked his views and focus on the U.S. Constitution in regards to today’s issues.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>After a while, I sensed a difference in Beck. At first I couldn’t put my finger on it, but it made me uncomfortable. Then I finally realized what was happening. Beck’s head was growing at an alarming rate. He started lecturing his viewers and radio listeners. He started believing that he alone had all the answers to the country’s problems; everyone else was too stupid or too corrupt to see what he was seeing.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>By the time the town-hall protesters and the tea-party movement was in full force Beck made his move to become the unofficial leader of the opposition movement to Obama’s socialist takeover of America. All of a sudden Republicans were just as bad as Democrats. There was no difference whatsoever between the two parties. Beck suddenly started researching the progressive movement in America; acting like he was the only person in the country who had this information. People like Rush Limbaugh who used the word liberal were dead wrong. It’s not Liberal – it’s Progressive. It’s not Liberal Republican – it’s Progressive Republican. Beck had stumbled upon a new discovery; Progressives were far worst than Liberals, Socialists, Marxists, Communists, etc.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I believe that Beck’s sudden obsession with Progressives, or Progressivism was simply a way to distinguish himself from his top two competitors, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity. Otherwise, he was just another Conservative on talk-radio and Fox News.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>When Beck claims that Republicans are just as bad as Democrats, and that there is no difference between the parties, he really loses all credibility. The facts, figures, and reality don’t back his claims.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I would like to humbly ask Mr. Beck and others who agree with him the following questions:
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Who is/was the Republican version of avowed Communist and former Obama administration Green Czar, Van Jones?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Who is/was the Republican version of far-left radical Cass Sunstein, Obama’s Regulation Czar?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Who is/was the Republican version of Obama’s radical homosexual-rights School Safety Czar Kevin Jennings?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Who is/was the Republican version of Obama’s former White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn, who publicly stated that Mao Zedong was one of her favorite political philosophers?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Who is/was the Republican version of Obama’s FCC Chief Diversity Officer, Mark Lloyd?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Glenn Beck fans should be very familiar with Jones, Sunstein, Jennings, Dunn, and Lloyd. To Beck’s great credit, he has done much to educate the American public about these dangerous clowns. However, I don’t seem to remember George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan having people like this (Progressives, Marxists, and Communists) in their administrations.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Is there really no difference between the two parties?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><a href="http://www.conservative.org/">The American Conservative Union</a> (ACU) is a conservative political organization founded in 1964 that advocates and lobbies for conservative policies in government. They have come to be best known for their ratings of members of Congress. The ratings are on a scale of zero (0) to one hundred (100) with 100 being the most conservative and 0 being the least conservative. The ratings are based on the member’s individual votes on legislation coming out of the House and Senate.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>According to the ACU, for the year 2009, House Republicans received a combined rating of 91.19, and Senate Republicans received a combined rating of 88.63.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>In contrast, the House Democrats received a combined rating of 6.79, and the Senate Democrats 8.63.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>No difference Glenn?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Last year when Obama and the Democrats passed the insane 800 plus billion dollar stimulus bill that Glenn Beck rightfully rails against, not one Republican member of the House voted for the bill. On the Senate side only 3 “Republicans” voted for the stimulus. One of the votes came from Arlen Specter who later defected to the Democrats. The other two were Olympia Snowed and Susan Collins of Maine – of course.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Hey Glenn &#8211; why would all of these Progressives in the Republican Party vote against the Stimulus?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>During last year&#8217;s vote on comprehensive healthcare reform only 1 of 178 Republican House Members voted for the bill. (H.R. 3962) Affordable Healthcare for America Act.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>On the Senate side of the healthcare bill, every single Republican Senator voted against it while every single Democrat Senator voted for it.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Still no difference Glenn?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Beck has on more than one occasion stated that the Tea Party is not a Republican or Conservative movement, but rather an Independent movement. Really now! Does he mean the same independents who voted for Obama in 2008? The fact of the matter is that the Tea Party movement <strong>is</strong> a <strong>Conservative</strong> movement, and the vast majority of its members are in fact members of the Republican Party.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Hate to break it to you Glenn, but so-called Independents are the biggest political whores out there. These are the people who show up to vote every election day based on their current personal predicaments. Far from the above-it-all, salt-of-the-earth, principled patriots that Beck, O’Reilly, and Dobbs would have you believe they are; many Independents are nothing more than personal grievance voters with no real core political principles. Sure they’re also against Obama……. now that his radical policies have hurt them where it hurts most – their wallets and pocketbooks. Also, are we to believe that if a politician is an independent, or not affiliated with the two major parties, that this will make him or her immune from back-room politics, corruption, and dishonesty? Give me a break already!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I’m not saying that there aren’t bad Republicans who just don’t get it – there sure as hell are. I rail against them on this blog every chance I get. I became a registerd Republican for two reasons. One is that in NY you must be registered to a Party in order to vote in that party&#8217;s primaries. The other is because the Republican Party is still the one and only political home for Conservatives. If the Democrat Party was the home for Conservatives, I&#8217;d sure as hell be a Democrat. But to say that there is no difference between the Republican Party and the Democrat Party is just so ridiculous that I have a hard time believing that Glenn Beck and others who parrot this ridiculous line really believe it.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The fact is that the two parties are just logistical organizations used to market political ideas.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The fact is that there is a bigger difference between the two parties now than there has been in a very long time. The Republican Party is still pretty Conservative while the Democrat Party has tilted far to the left in recent years.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The fact is that the base of the Republican Party is still overwhelmingly Conservative, and so are the vast majority of the Republicans in the U.S. Congress.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The fact is that the base of the Democrat Party is now at the very least Socialist, and so are the vast majority of the Democrats in the U.S. Congress.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The fact is that there is still a humongous difference between the two parties, and anyone who say’s otherwise is either ignorant, or driven by some other agenda. </p>
