Must See TV tomorrow: O'Reilly cracks ACORN
Heads-up everyone: tomorrow night, Bill O’Reilly will be airing his report on ACORN’s funding sources.
Please watch it and report back on what O’Reilly says. We’ll have a thread up about this tomorrow too, but we want to make sure you set your VCRs, TIVOs, or whatever other gadgets you have to hear what O’Reilly has to say. He and Glenn Beck are the only two in the media digging into ACORN right now.
This all leads back to the White House and the current administration…if Republicans don’t allow what happened in the 2008 elections to go away, there are a great many twists and turns this could take that make burglars in an office building in DC in the 70s look like small potatoes indeed.
Here’s hoping O’Reilly really cracks this nut.
They Came in Peace. They Offered HOPE! They Lied.
Are we talking about Dr. Utopia’s 2008 campaign, or space aliens on television?
You decide.
The fascinating thing about this V remake on ABC for the fall is that about half of what we read online about it agrees with us, that space lizards selling HOPE! and CHANGE! while secretly working hidden agendas to take everything valuable Americans have sure feels like the current administration in Washington. But, on leftist sites, this V remake makes them think of Republicans. Why that is, we don’t know, but it’s interesting two groups see something totally different in the same 80s remake show.
Hope it’s a hit…and hope it makes it to Hulu for those of us who’ve gotten rid of our TVs.
Military admits Dr. Utopia lied about Don't Ask/Don't Tell
If you are surprised by this, then we are sorry to tell you that you are as painfully stupid as all the guys down at Sidetrack’s here in Boystown who voted for Dr. Utopia believing he would openly allow LGBTQ service men and women to openly serve in the military.
He has no intention to do this, and the military has come out and stated the obvious: that Dr. Utopia has been lying about this the whole time.
The thing is, DADT is much more complicated than people realized because, as we understand it, Congress is needed to pass legislation to lift the ban as a mere executive order will not do in this case. It’s more complicated than Harry Truman desegrating the armed forces in racial terms.
Dr. Utopia does not want this issue to do to his term what DADT did to Bill Clinton’s first year in office. Dr. Utopia also knows the issue will hurt him in 2012, as he is consumed with his re-election bid, and DADT would not only cost him some moderate and crossover votes, but will dampen his black support that he desperately needs. Blacks will not, under any circumstances (save Michael Steele as VIP on the other ticket) vote AGAINST Dr. Utopia, but DADT might make a lot of them sit him — since if there’s one thing the black community loves more than race-based-bloc-voting it’s sticking it to gays (see: California Prop-8, which garnered 85% black support, the highest % of ANY social, religious, or ethnic group).
In Boystown, a few former Kool-Aid Kids are angry about DADT, and we tell them how stupid they are because when Dr. Utopia refused to march in the 2008 pride parade, the way he refused to march in ANY pride parades over the years, and instead got his hair cut and played basketball at the East Bank Club that day, he told everyone pretty much all they ever needed to know about his commitment to LGBTQ issues.
Suckers!

Israel News Roundup – May 19th, 2009
Dear HillBuzz,
I’m really thrilled that the first Israel News Roundup got such a great reception. I’ve put together another few notes and also a couple of book recommendations based on topics that were raised in the comments. I’ll try to point you to a variety of sources and books so that your readers can make up their own minds about current events and consider historical precedents when forming their political positions.
Here is a nice story that I saw last week about Jesus’ baptism site being opened up to the visitors in Israel. Northern Israel is full of places of spectacular interest for Christians, as is Jerusalem. Israel’s religious minorities have full rights of worship.
Unfortunately, Jews have not fared as well under Muslim rule as is painstakingly documented in Andrew Bostom’s book, The Legacy of Islamic Antisemetism. Jewish holy sites also have a history of being desecrated by many different Islamic forces (Jordan in the pre-1967 West Bank, and Joseph’s Tomb, to name just a few recent examples).
Israel is generally a conservative country, with Jewish family values forming the bedrock of most people’s lives. Yet, the local gay community thrives in major urban centers with very few demonstrations of intolerence or prejudice, unlike in some other places in the Middle East.
This is a nice story about an initiative in Israel for the mentally handicapped. It’s nice to see mentally disabled people being assisted in their quest for a meaningful life, rather than being mocked and ridiculed by leaders of certain western countries.
The last item, concerns Israelis judgment regarding the current US administration. Not surprisingly, only 31% of Israelis consider the current administration “pro-Israel”.
Lastly, for those readers who questioned the Jewish democratic voting patterns, I would suggest that this is part of a larger, historical phenomenon of Jewish wishful thinking and belief in false messiahs from the Golden Calf, to Shabbtai Zvi, to communism/Marxism. The best reference for readers interested in this subject is Dr. Kenneth Levin’s fantastic book: The Oslo Syndrome-Delusions of a People Under Seige, which I highly recommend.
My last book recommendation speaks to readers who referred to America’s historical relationship with Islam, during the founding era. I would recommend Michael Oren’s fascinating study: Power, Faith, and Fatasy America in the Middle East from 1776 to the Present. It details American resolve against Mulsim piracy and barbarism and paints an enlightening picture of the roots of American Christian Zionism. It’s a fantastic read.
Until next time, this has been Israel News Roundup on HillBuzz. I invite your readers to please discuss the information I have provided in comments below.

Giving credit where credit is due: Dr. Utopia chooses his own opponent for 2012 = John Huntsman
When we met Michael Steele last month, one of the things we told him is that Democrats and the MSM pick Republican candidates they want to run against. Moderate Republicans do not win national elections. Normally, we’re thrilled when the GOP allows weak, fatally-flawed Republicans to run against Democrats — when those are Democrats we like and want to win. Here in Chicago, the GOP backing crazed loon Rosana Pulido in the 5th Congressional race in March against good-guy Mike Quigley was marvelous. It was the Pulido Generals versus the Quigley Globetrotters, and things went down just the way you’d expect in exhibition, high-styling, guest-starred in an episode of Scooby Doo!, basketball.
But, this isn’t so funny when Republicans select candidates who will clearly lose to bad Democrats…or to flat-out SOCIALISTS.
We THOUGHT the GOP would learn its lesson and not allow the Democrats and MSM to pick Dr. Utopia’s 2012 opponent, but this is exactly what’s happening, people.
And we have to give credit where it is very, very much due because the way they are going about this is perfectly executed and in complete control of all the casual news-readers out there who have no idea they are being played.
Bobby Jindal and Charlie Crist are repeatedly held up by the MSM as two leading contenders for the GOP’s nomination in 2012. Because both of them will lose to Dr. Utopia (Jindal, because he is neither a remedy to Dr. Utopia nor an opposing narrative to his own and Crist, because he is orange, for one, and because of what he used to get up to at the Green Iguana in Tampa, for two, three, and cha-cha-cha).
Read the Redstate piece as it details how John Huntsman has been engineered by Democrats and the MSM, with McCain’s help, to become the Republican nominee in 2012.
Honestly, if Republicans are stupid enough to nominate a moderate two elections in a row, then the GOP deserves to self-implode as a party; if Americans really are stupid enough to give Dr. Utopia a second term, in which he would at last be able to reveal himself for who he truly is and revel in an absolute radical leftist agenda free of any elections to defeat him and anything on Earth to stop him, then maybe America itself deserves to implode and end under him. Because, at that point, we would indeed just give up. We did our part. We sure as Hell tried to stop this. And we will surely turn out the lights as we leave.
Because the warning signs on all of this are as clear as day. The only thing restraining Dr. Utopia today is the fact that he needs, at the very core of his being, to win that second term. Every day, he is campaigning for that, because losing the presidency like Carter or Bush Sr. would quite possibly destroy this egomaniac. Republicans are out there doing whatever it is they do all day, but Dr. Utopia is plotting and scheming with Axelrod, Emanuel, and Co. for that second term.
They know full well Hope! and Change! won’t work a second time around, and that in 2012, nothing will have changed in this country, except for the worse. By 2012, the wild inflation caused by Dr. Utopia’s reckless spending will whallup us all, and all of the new social programs germanated by the Trillions in spending he’s forced through Congress will still be sucking more tax dollars from states and local government, forever needing more infusions of cash from the feds to stay afloat. Unless Dr. Utopia REALLY IS the light-bringing miracle worker his followers believe he is, we are going to be in seriously bad shape in 2012.
Which means, the way Dr. Utopia wins a second term is to run against Jindal, Crist, or Huntsman, with Hunstman’s fatal flaw being the fact that he’s even more moderate than John McCain — and McCain is a Republican we, as Democrats, love but whom we, as Democrats who do not support Dr. Utopia’s socialist agenda, do not want to see hand-pick his successor as GOP nominee.
The one hope we have in all of this goes back to that conversation during the Pride Parade last year we had with Log Cabin Republicans in Sidetrack’s here in Boystown. Remember, those guys told us they did not want McCain to win because he was too moderate, so they were going to let Dr. Utopia become Carter Part Deux so that a new Reagan could emerge, and a true conservative candidate would be the 2012 nominee.
The media keeps pounding and pounding and pounding a drumbeat that the Republican Party is dead, with TIME magazine featuring an “endangered species” elephant on its cover and Arnold Schwarzenegger braying that the party needs to move left to survive.
Well, moving to the center didn’t win you 2008…and it won’t win you 2012. When something does not work out well for you, you do not do more of it. Dummies.
This push for Hunstman, Jindal, and Crist also, you may have noticed, remains in coordinated concert with daily efforts to malign, berate, and nuetralize SARAH PALIN, the one person we see in the GOP field who will indeed defeat Dr. Utopia and send him packing to Hawaii (because we also don’t believe, once defeated, he’ll be coming back to Chicago…it will be Honolulu all the way, baby, from then on, where his presidential library will also indeed be, Mayor Daley be damned). Mitt Romney will also lose, we believe, and that’s hard for us to say because we like Romney and have many Romney supporters as friends, but he won’t win.
Sarah Palin will win.
But, will she run remains to be seen. Honestly, the MSM is doing a very effective hit job on her, with talking points from the White House itself. Many Republican diaper-babies we know cry, “She can’t be the nominee! They will attack her! They will make her into a joke! A woman can’t be the nominee because Tina Fey will make fun of her!”. Well, in this Golden Age of Hope, there remains the possibility that Tina Fey could acquire crippling laryngittis in 2012 (or possibly realize that she, a feminist, might not want to be the poster woman for trying to take down the first female presidential nominee of either party…but would Fey respond to Palin with gender motivation the way racists like Colin Powell jumped aboard Dr. Utopia’s snake oil bandwagon? That too remains to be seen).
Why the diaper-babies believe Palin is the only GOP nominee the media would savage is beyond us. The MSM will do everything it can to destroy whomever the GOP puts out there. By 2012, most media outlets will be under tacit government control, as the lurch towards nationalizing them under Dr. Utopia has already begun (The New York Times as a 501C3 nonprofit, with tax-free status? Really? And as a beneficiary of Dr. Utopia’s largesse in this way, don’t you think they would be EVEN MORE inclined to do the White House’s bidding?). Jindal, Crist, and Huntsman are all paper tigers set up early so they will be in place to tear down in another round of glorious, leg-tingling, celebrated speechifying come the 2012 campaign.
Meanwhile, in Alaska, we have a real life Momma Grizzly who is head and shoulders above the paper tiger men who share the hypothetical field with her. Men, in many ways, we feel don’t hold the slightest candle to her.
And that’s why Sarah Palin remains target number one, while mouth-breathers like Hunstman, Jindal, and Crist are lavished such praise by Dr. Utopia’s determined supporters…and yet, Republicans apparently don’t make the connection that nominating someone the White House and the MSM wants Dr. Utopia to run against might just be a bad thing.
It’s more than a little depressing writing this today, because we are committed to doing whatever we can to defeat Dr. Utopia in 2012, and will once again put our hearts and souls into this, but we have a sinking feeling that, just like in 2008, we’ll have the wrong person at the top of the ticket (on both sides of the aisle, really, yet again).
Tuesday Open Thread
What’s on your mind today?
Because we love the little guy, we want to let you know that Joey Grant is offering $15.00 haircuts (for your first visit) if you book with him at Free Nation of Beauty here in Chicago. Address: 3255 N. Broadway (at Aldine). Phone: 773-857-3662. Joey cuts women’s, men’s, and children’s hair and is a very good friend of ours, so we’d like some of you reading this to become new clients of his. $15 is a great deal for a cut here, and also a great introduction to an awesome stylist, so we hope those of you in Chicago land book an appointment with him (Tuesdays through Saturdays, off Sun and Mon).
Also, take a look at Michael Steele in action in Maryland — he is one dynamite speaker, and a really good man. We’re still amazed at how great he was to us when we met him here in Chicago. THIS is who should have been our first black president. Steele’s the real deal, people.
