You may recall hearing about this gentleman “Joe McGinniss” who moved into the property next Sarah Palin, well apparently as of today Ole Joe is headed back to the land of Kennedy. But not before one of his sycophant media allies wrote an article outlining the trials poor Joe endured while living next to the Palin’s.

The entire article can be read here, but I warn you… if you have a weak stomach keep a waste can near at hand.

In fact “Dan Joling” writes a piece that is a sterling example of what passes for journalism these days. Short on substantiated fact and long on opinion. Yet, curiously the article wasn’t publish in any OpEd page, in fact the AP wants the rest of us to believe its “journalism” obviously. Hey AP! what I am writing here… its opinion, and in my opinion the run of the mill “upper eastsider” might read your drivel and believe it to be journalism…However, we “rubes” here in fly of country see it for what it is… Junk.

In case you all haven’t figured it out there is more than the obvious reason why we choose to lay down newspapers to potty train our dogs. I suppose that is a bit harsh, perhaps it is for a reason:

McGinniss would not reveal what his book will say about the former governor. But he did get a taste of the support Palin has inspired.

“It’s just a peculiar thing, but she does, as I found out in May, she presses a button and what comes back is hate,” he said. “The people who respond when she complains about something are just so filled with hate. I got some of the ugliest, most vile e-mails directed at me, my grandchildren, my children, my wife—just ugly, ugly stuff.”

As for his interviews, most people he approached in Palin’s hometown were willing to speak, but he said there was what he calls an “undercurrent of fear.”

“People—I don’t know if they’re afraid of shadows or whether there’s something real there—she’s no longer in a position of governmental influence but there are people up there who are scared to death to talk because if Sarah ever found out they talked, oh, something terrible would happen to them,” he said.

Once he settled in, McGinniss said, he didn’t have a single unpleasant encounter with anybody in Wasilla. Some people objected to the welcome he had received.

“They started bringing me blueberry pie. I had many offers of handguns to borrow. I turned them all down. But for about two weeks there, I couldn’t say hello to somebody without, they said, ‘I’ve got a couple of guns for you in my truck.’”

SO let me get this straight… First, you profess to be writing a book about Palin, but did not request an interview (That you admit to). Your “Scooby” sense detected an “undercurrent of fear”, which prompted people to “bring you blueberry pies and offer you handguns.”

I really don’t know what to say.  This man wants me to believe that people actually offered to loan him a  gun… for protection?… from what? The random rogue grizzly bear patrolling the Palin fence interfering with his access to his favorite knothole? I am also wondering if  the “blueberry pies” were actually blueberries. Not to mention that I am a little curious as to the exact “method” in which these pies were delivered.. was it a fast ball or a slider.

One thing I don’t doubt is that “somebody” did say “I’ve got a couple guns for you in my truck”.  I just doubt it was a loan offer like Joe is portraying it…

From www.bloodmoneyfilm.com:

BloodMoney is a documentary film that exposes the truth behind the Abortion Industry from the Pro Life perspective.

This film will examine the history of abortion in America, from the inception of Planned Parenthood and the profitability of abortion clinics, to Roe v. Wade, to the denial of when life begins, to the fight to save the lives of innocent babies, and the devastating effects it has had on the women that have had them.

Ain’t this sweet, the progressives are planning their own Lincoln Monument get together. Backed by… wait for it…. SEIU among others. Wonder how much they will have to shell out to pay all the unemployed people they will hire to attend it?

This just in… MSNBC is reporting that the crowd size is in the millions…

That is what I would like to know… If James Jay Lee had forced his way into “30 Rock” and  held Chris Mathews or “Olber-idiot” hostage and it came to light that he  had a personal epiphany after reading Glenn Becks “Commonsense”  she would have called Congress into emergency session. And no doubt the MSM would be in full attack and destroy mode against anything resembling “right wing” extremism.  But alas, he didn’t read  Beck, instead it was Daniel Quinn’s “Ishmael” one of the cult favorites of the Eco-Nazi left. How can this be?

His rambling internet published “manifesto” to the Discovery Channel reads like a syllabus from any environmental science class at UC Berkley and you could easily use it as talking point guide if you wished to attend any hip Hollywood activist gala. In fact it covers a full spectrum of leftist beliefs from Capitalism is a scourge of society, to my personal favorite “human reproduction” is destroying the earth.

It is quite easy to see this man was disturbed, his actions betrayed that. However, honestly many of the things this man believed are “mainstream” eco-leftist views that would have made him the hero of the likes of Van Jones. And since we have an administration and media  that  are doing everything in their collective (pun intended) power to mainstream folks like Jones, its understandable why I am bit uncomfortable with this man’s belief structure.

According to his MySpace page, he was an Ashiest. His brother-in-law described him to Neil Cavuto (Fox News)  as “Someone capable of doing harm to himself and others, the condescending type that spoke down to you”.  He believed procreation is the leading cause of  environmental destruction. Believed money was useless and obvious had no regard to property rights given his demands to the Discovery Channel. And held the ubiquitous belief  that war was wrong… not because of its “human costs”, but the catastrophic environmental damage caused by nuclear weapons.

If you want take a look at the entire manifesto go “here“… Just take a few Advil before you do.

If you go to the HuffPo or Daily Kos, the moonbats are in full meltdown mode trying to explain how this gentleman’s beliefs are somehow more radical than there own… good luck with that. The truth is this mans belief system is exactly the same as many of their own… thats the problem, there are many more of these deluded nuts out there. The only difference between them and Jim Lee is he acted violently upon his wacko beliefs… they haven’t… for now.

This has been long overdue… I have been meaning to record a screencast to introduce people to the new website, well I finally got to it! Take a few minutes to watch the video, I think you will find it helpful. I have also posted it on the blog for review in the future.

One thing I want to do for the folks that aren’t necessarily “geeks”, Is to help them with some of the simple technology platforms that are available. Such as Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites. In the future I will make more of these screen-casts to highlight simple tips, tricks and advanced features of these sites, as well as our own. It is very important that we know how to leverage the internet in our fight… I am committed to helping you do just that.

Site Intro- 2010-08-28_1659

It seems that no sooner had the (digital) ink dried upon John McCormack’s article in the Weekly Standard that a decision was reached by the EPA:

In a swift and unexpected decision, the Environmental Protection Agency today rejected a petition from environmental groups to ban the use of lead in bullets and shotgun shells, claiming it doesn’t have jurisdiction to weigh on the controversial Second Amendment issue. The decision came just hours after the Drudge Report posted stories from Washington Whispers and the Weekly Standard about how gun groups were fighting the lead bullet ban.

The EPA had planned to solicit public responses to the petition for two months, but this afternoon issued a statement rejecting a 100-page request from the Center for Biological Diversity, the American Bird Conservancy, and three other groups for a ban on lead bullets, shot, and fishing sinkers. The agency is still considering what to do about sinkers.

US News and Word Report -EPA Surrenders to NRA on Gun Control Issue- John Bedard – 27 Aug 2010

I guess EPA didn’t think it was such a good idea once it was submitted to the scrutiny of the American people via the press. Something tells me that there was a lot of harsh words heard up and down the halls of the Center of the Biological Diversity…”Damn, that pesky 1st Amendment! Don’t you people know that we better understand what is best than you do?”

Honesty I never believed this stood much of a chance, but that is not the issue. Its the fact that we have statist groups in this nation subverting the system. That is something that needs to get all of us out in the street with torches and pitchforks… Make no mistake this will not be there last attempt to subvert liberty.
