"Their Fingerprints Are On The Pillows That Are Suffocating All Of Us"

Yesterday, the 'Common Cause' rally was highlighted here to show some of the hatred and vitriol and, quite frankly, violence that dwell in the hearts of their followers. Common Cause can't control those who wanted to appear at their rallies anymore than the Tea Parties can.

But what do the the organizers say about those who were invited to speak at a special discussion panel that used extensive rhetoric? "Fight to stop this evil"? Is that a metaphor or was fight meant in the literal sense of the word?



The real cause of their hate and violent rhetoric? (At least I only hope it's rhetorical.)

Global Warming, is there anything it can't do?

Actually, Global Warming is a small apart of it. "Evil" corporations are polluting the planet, causing the earth to overheat. Anti-Global Warming is just a root in the tree of Progressivism. Social Justice is another root that has a vague enough sounding name that it sounds like a good idea until you start to examine it. Give money to the poor from everyone who makes more than I do is what Social Justice is when stripped down to the bare bones.

I think the people in the video feel entitled to say those things because they consider themselves to be on the 'side' of everything that mighty and just. Clean air and water! Free health care! What kind of monster would oppose that sort of thing? Surely some sort of greedy-eyed hunchback who uses the blood of the poor to mix the cement in the foundation in order to build mansion plantation (sorry, forgot who I was talking about) would do such a thing. At least that's how I would imagine a conservative to appear if I went by their description alone from the video above. So of course if you are on the side of good, everything else will be bad and worthy of scorn and hate and violence.

Because, in their minds, they are the good guys.

Obviously this doesn't apply to all liberals but the most liberal of liberals. The kind who sign up for a Common Cause rally. A very vocal and violent sounding-- again, one only hopes they are speaking rhetorically-- minority.

The rest of the liberals are clueless dolts who haven't thought out their positions very well. They say, "Free stuff? Sure, sign me up!" without realizing that if everyone was promised cookies and lemonade, by the time it was distributed it would only be a couple of crumbs and a teaspoon of juice-- to paraphrase what Jesse Hughes said.

I think I've beaten the 'New Tone' thing to death with a tire iron (whoops, did it again, violent imagery). But its obvious to me that there was no 'New Tone'. It was only another way to tell conservatives and Republicans to shut up.

Audio: James O'Keefe Was On Red Radio Last Night

The first part is here. The rest is at the Red Radio site.

It's pretty good. O'Keefe goes into his background to explain how he got to where he is today. He also tells his side of the story with what happened in Louisiana and Sen. Mary Landrieu.



By the way, Heidi and Vincent are doing good work with Red Radio, check them out on a Thursday night.

Global Warming Is Preventing Us From Having More Global Warming

Screencap of the week.

Five years ago, Al Gore warned us that humanity was ten years away from putting the earth into an "irreversible slide into destruction".

The polar ice caps were supposed to he melting away, massive hurricanes devastating coastal areas and dogs & cats living together. If not the end times it was the beginning of the end of times. If Al Gore was to be believed.

Obviously, with global warming causing all this cold weather, it's getting in the way of the real global warming that would be causing the ice caps to melt.

It's not quite a yellow smiley face that shows 15 minutes to midnight but it is Al Gore's very own Doomsday Clock slowly ticking away.

Video: Progressives Admitting They Want To Torture And Hang Clarance Thomas

I think that 'New Tone' has been stepped on, kicked around, ran over, its wires cut, its bell cracked and buried by now.

Language warning, liberals have filthy mouths.



Notice the Van Jones cameo?

Anyway, despite what was being said for the benefit for the camera at the news conference, you can see what's really on their progressive minds when they think they are among friends.

Torture, lynchings and killings. One more way to make you 'shut up'.

Da Tech Guy noticed a few other things.

ObamaCare For Thee But Not For Me

SEIU lobbied long and hard for the passage of ObamaCare then turned right around to receive a waiver exempting them from the same law that they helped pass.

Hardly sounds fair now, doesn't it
?

Sad News In The Music World Today

The White Stripes have broken up.

Groundbreaking blues rock duo The White Stripes have announced they've split up after 13 years together.

The band, comprising of Jack White and ex-wife Meg White released a statement saying they 'will make no further new recordings or perform live.'

They added that there were a 'myriad of reasons' for the breakup, but the main reason was to 'preserve what is beautiful and special about the band.'

They might be gone as a band but their music is still around.





Plus, I've been neglecting my duties for Friday Night videos so this is an effort to catch up on it.

Flashback To 2000: Children Will Not Know Snowfall In 2010

With a track record like this, how can they not be trustworthy today?

Britain’s winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives. Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain’s culture, as warmer winters – which scientists are attributing to global climate change – produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries...According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia ,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.

That was then, this is now:

The Groundhog Blizzard continues to unleash its fury across Chicago and other cities across the Great Lakes, but an end to the fierce and historical snowstorm is finally in sight.
The Groundhog Blizzard now ranks fifth among the greatest snowstorms in Chicago's history, exactly what AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski predicted on Tuesday.
A total of 17.1 inches of snow has buried Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (the city's official weather observation site) through 6 a.m. EST.

And that was Chicago, this is the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has ordered utilities to begin rotating outages to compensate for a generation shortage due high usage in extreme weather.

Rotating outages are controlled, temporary interruptions of service designed to ease the load on the electric grid.
[. . .]
The outages last anywhere from 10-45 minutes and the locations and durations are determined by the local utilities.

Yet, the ManBearPig doubles down on his investment:

“In fact, scientists have been warning for at least two decades that global warming could make snowstorms more severe. Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air collects moisture like a sponge until it hits a patch of cold air. When temperatures dip below freezing, a lot of moisture creates a lot of snow.”[bold mine]

Global Warming, is there anything it can't do?

It's A Sad Commentary When Cracked Magazine Is Able To More Accurately Report On A Story Than The Actual News Media

Mainly, anything that related to the Tea Party.

For all those wackjob birthers captured on film wearing frilly lady blouses and triangle hats, there were thousands of ordinary people just living their lives, being regular, and not liking how their Republican Party had turned out. And even though Tea Party members tend to skew toward older, middle-class white guys, their overall demographics aren't that far from the rest of the country. Of course, regular people are about as riveting as dry toast, so they didn't get much screen time. Which is why it came as such a shock to everyone when 32 percent of Tea Party-affiliated candidates won their elections.

By focusing in on the assclowns the media painted a picture that not only wasn't accurate, but pretty much made constructive political discourse impossible. They didn't just fail to do their job -- they did the opposite of their job, and they've been doing it for years.

Like back in the 1960s, when they homed in on long-haired hippies dancing like spazzes and plugging every orifice they could with flowers, then declared these ding-dongs the voice of their generation. In reality, most kids from the 60s never looked like that or behaved that way, but that doesn't mean they inherently supported the war in Vietnam or were opposed to civil rights. They just weren't part of the hippie fringe. Look at your mom's (or grandma's?) yearbook if you don't believe us. Or look at this picture from Woodstock.

In case you can't tell, most of the guys are sporting relatively short hair ... at Woodstock.

So when we watched coverage of O'Donnell and the Tea Party this year, we were only getting the bonkers half of the picture. Now that CNN is teaming up with the Tea Party Express to host the Republican debates next year, we'll probably see a lot fewer costumed revolutionaries. But everyone will just assume the Tea Party cleaned up its act, when in reality it will be CNN.

Be sure to read the entire thing. Even the Jay Leno/Conan O'Brien dust up that. . . Wasn't.
