Somehow, this too is her fault: man in Hillary Clinton mask robs bank
Why not run a picture of the mask, since it's a story about a Hillary Clinton mask being used in something?
My boyfriend Justin is one of those people who grew up hating Hillary Clinton, and still hates her, though he admits he doesn’t know why. ”Because she killed that man”, is something he says most often when pressed about this.
“What man?”, I ask him, knowing he won’t remember. ”Vince Vaughn”, he said once. So, I brought IMDB.com up on my phone and showed him that no, Vince Vaughn was alive and well and living in Hollywood. Hillary Clinton did not murder him.
Yet.
Justin’s parents are big Hillary Derangement Syndrome chronic cases, and believe she is behind all sorts of nefarious plots and schemes. ”She killed Tim Russert! She gave Ted Kennedy a brain tumor! She sabotaged that one man’s plane because she was jealous of him, and she had been on that plane right before him, so she had the opportunity to do it!”.
Honestly, I don’t know what to say about this anymore.
But, I do think it’s hilarious that in this article at Politico about a man robbing a bank wearing a Hillary Clinton mask (just like in that movie Point Break with the ex-presidents bank robbers), the editor ran an actual picture of Hillary Clinton…and not the mask. As if people don’t know who “Hillary Clinton” is, and thus needed that visual of her.
“Oh, yah, HER. I knew that name sounded familiar. She’s the one that killed Vince Vaughn, on that plane, with her heart attack ray. Oh, that’s a really good mask of her. So lifelike”.
Hillarious.
Incoming House Judiciary Chair Lamar Smith (R-TX) announces Pigford Black Reparation Hearings in new Congress
The real question with the Pig Black Reparations is whether or not the public at large can understand the scam Obama pulled off, or see that it was done 100% for his political benefit.
Pigford was a massive bribe, in the billions of dollars, to blacks to support Obama and remain loyal Democrats. It’s “Obama money” given to them as the reparations the Left tried to gin up in the 1970s and 80s.
But, so far all material related to Pigford has been too dense for most regular, non-politics focused Americans to easily follow.
It’s like Watergate that way, only in a world where the media had no interest at all in reporting on Watergate, and instead worked overtime to protect Richard Nixon and make sure no one said a bad word about him or anything he did…calling all of his critics RAAACIST! whenever he broke the law and did anything unsavory.
Obama, our black Nixon, looted the Treasury to hand out massive infusions of cash to his black supporters. That’s what Pigford is all about.
Will someone find the magic key that unlocks all this for the public?
I honestly don’t know.
The misunderstood CAIR Bears of “The Religion of Peace” are at it again: plot foiled to mass-murder at Danish newspaper office
What has "The Religion of Peace" been up to now?
The Misunderstood CAIR Bears of Islam have been prevented from committing another mass-murder in the name of their “Religion of Peace”…this time in the offices of a Danish newspaper.
This might get repetitious for some of you, but it honestly needs to be repeated in any article even remotely talking about Muslims’ frequent use of violence or threats of violence to further Islam’s reach into the West: Islam is not a religion. It is a militarized political cult of ideology created by a pedophile who hoped to enrich himself by gaining control of trade and pilgrimage routes – this man, Muhammad, wrote the equivalent of the Unabomber’s manifesto, to aggrandize himself, and to give his followers license to kill anyone who stood in their way. He was successful in all of this beyond his wildest dreams and natural lifetime.
Islamism, like Nazism and Communism, is incompatible with Western life, American freedoms, and free expression in the world. That last one is supposedly the cornerstone of what sets the West apart from the hell holes in the rest of the world, where, incidentally, Islam is often the dominant force.
For the last 30 years, Europe has allowed itself to be Islamized…and the end result is that people in Denmark are terrified of drawing so much as a cartoon because they’re afraid Muslims will murder them for it.
This reminds me of tours you can take of Chicago, where you drive around and hear stories about what life was like here when Al Capone ruled the town. You said something Mr. Capone didn’t like, and you were gunned down in the street while getting milk for your baby. You spoke out against Mr. Capone, your neighbors snitched on you, and someone came to your house and burned it down to the ground with you inside. You drew a cartoon mocking Mr. Capone, and that cartoon was the last thing you ever drew.
That’s thuggery, and it’s what Muslims do on a global scale.
I’m sure there were people who worked for Al Capone who were very nice people, too. He had lots of accountants, bartenders, showgirls, drivers, maids, butlers, lightbulb changers, whatever. Probably the vast majority of people who worked for Al Capone never picked up a gun and murdered anyone.
But, Al Capone was able to be Al Capone because his accountants, business managers, book keepers, drivers, and other employees enabled him to be a warlord that ruled Chicago with an iron fist.
Those mythical “moderate Muslims” the media talks about all the time…the ones who do nothing about the mass-murder plots against Danish newspapers or the plans to build a Victory Mosque at Ground Zero…are in some ways even MORE responsible for the evil things done in the name of Islam, because without their silence and complicity Islam would never be able to do any of this.
Which, if you actually sit down and read the Koran, is exactly what Muhammad wanted done to carry his manifesto into the future.
Ed Rendell calls this “a nation of wussies” after NFL game called due to snow
Ed Rendell tells it like it is. There is a deliberate wussification of America underway. How can we stop it?
Ed Rendell was one of Hillary Clinton’s top surrogates in the 2008 primary campaign, and worked incredibly hard for her. I got to go on pub crawls with Rendell, Chelsea Clinton, and other surrogates in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia as part of Hillary LGBTQ efforts…and Rendell was a laugh riot.
After HRC suspended her campaign, Rendell memorably got on a stage with Obama and made jokes about people drinking his Kool-Aid…as in, giving up all reason and becoming part of the hopeychangey, O-Ba-Ma…O-Ba-Ma…chanting crowd. ”Time to drink your Kool-Aid,” Rendell laughed, pantomiming drinking a giant glass while saying “glug, glug, glug” under his voice and putting his arms out like he’d become a zombie.
It was hilarious, and Obama just stared at him, incredulous that someone in his company was making fun of him, right at his side like that.
I don’t know what you may think of Rendell as a Governor, but as a character, he’s hilarious. He probably would not have been Hillary Clinton’s VP pick (that would have been either Evan Bayh or Ted Strickland, both of whom were enormously popular still back in 2008), but can you just imagine if this guy was Vice President?
He has that says-whatever-he-wants spirit that drives Joe Biden, but he’s much smarter than Biden, and actually knows what he’s talking about.
Republicans should be calling this “a nation of wussies” because in a lot of ways that’s sadly what it’s become. Where is that pioneer spirit, as Rendell rightly asks?
We need to rediscover that.
Part of the reason Sarah Palin’s Alaska is such a fun show for everyone to watch is that most of the people featured in it, including the Palins themselves, seem superhuman on such a regular basis…hunting, fishing, hiking, dragging large animals home to their freezers, battling things with enormous teeth and claws, surviving in brutal cold, etc.
That’s actually not SUPERhuman, but HUMAN…in that just a generation or two ago, before the rise of megacities and the emergence of suburbia, this is how the majority of the country lived. Eeking out an existence on a frontier, fending for themselves, not looking to a government to provide for them.
The Americans who formed the Greatest Generation that won WWII were not part of a nation of wussies…but sometime in the 70s, with the rise of the Left and the takeover of our education system, and its subsequent PC-nation mindset, that’s what we became.
It’s sad, but true.
How do we change things back in the years ahead?
*************************************************
NOTE: Here’s a great email someone sent in about Ed Rendell:
Dear HillBuzz,
I was born and raised in Philadelphia and currently live in a suburb of Philly. I’ve always liked Ed Rendell and agreed with him politically….until the past 2 years.Before Rendell was mayor of Philadelphia, he was a partner in a large law firm that our family lawyer was also partners in. When he became mayor of Philadelphia, he took on the unions. The city was bankrupt, city workers wanted raises, and Rendell told them in order to give them a raise, he would have to lay off workers to fund raises and gave them the option. Hard to believe with the current atmosphere of the Democratic party but Rendell brought fiscal responsibility back to the city and took it out of bankruptcy. Fiscally, he is moderate. While he agreed with the stimulus the Democrats pushed through, he also criticized it saying that while it would save jobs in PA, it wasn’t going to create enough private sector jobs.I voted for him both times for Governor. He’s not only a likeable guy, but he was more honest than most politicians and really did have the best interest of the state at heart.Ed Rendell was a Hillary supporter until the end. He is also a strong party line-toeing man. Before being Governor he was head of the DNC. IMO, Obama brought out the worst in him and many other Democratic politicians I used to respect.When asked why he supports Obamacare the only talking points he brings up are the few details in the bill that even the Republicans agreed on, such as pre-existing conditions, children’s coverage. I have a sneaking suspicion he really doesn’t like the law but is toeing the line in the name of the Democratic party and for possible political gain for either him or his wife (a federal judge). Some will criticize him for putting politics first, but as you most likely know, that’s the nature of politics and both party’s are guilty of it. It doesn’t make it right but it happens.He was always a good speaker and able to defend his position logically. But lately I think he’s becoming unhinged and maybe a tad tired of having to spin Obama’s failures. Unhinged people will say and do crazy things, like calling us wussies.Lifelong PA Resident
Class vs. Crass: Dolley Madison vs. Michelle Antoinette Obama
In the small photo above, the woman dressed in gold is a Dolley Madison impersonator, entertaining then-First Lady Laura Bush at an event marking the release of the Dolley Madison First Spouse gold coin, the companion coin to President Madison’s dollar coin.
At some point in the future, should the presidential coin series continue, Michelle Antoinette Obama will be entitled to a coin of her own as well.
It’s interesting to think about what a Michelle Antoinette Obama impersonator would look like, what gender that person would be, and how s/he would behave in the role.
Which of Michelle’s trademark “fashions” would the impersonator wear and which of Michelle’s memorable quotes would s/he deliver up on the stage, while impersonating her?
QUESTION: What else is he hiding? Obama White House bans photographers from taking picture of him shirtless…and meek and timid press obey!
Has he gotten worse than this? Is that why he won't allow his picture to be taken? This shot is from 2008. Recently, it looks like Obama has had extreme weight loss. And not from working out. Is he hiding something health-related, perhaps a chronic condition the White House doesn't want talked about?
Straight guys almost never care if anyone takes pictures of them shirtless. They are heterosexual. They are secure in their bodies. They just don't care. See Ted Kennedy above. But, hopefully not just after you've eaten.
In a shocking display of timidity towards the White House, the national media has bowed to a White House dictate that they no longer photograph Obama shirtless.
The New York Times actually admits it’s complying with a White House fiat that Obama not be photographed without his shirt on, unless the water is covering his neck.
Can you imagine if George W. Bush had issued such an order?
The Hubble Space Telescope would have been enlisted by the enterprising media to snag paparazzi-grade prohibited shots of him, shirtless, eight days a week.
This started last year in Florida, when Obama went into the Gulf water and told reporters, point blank, “I’m not going to let you guys take a picture of me with my shirt off”. Secret Service then restrained the press, parking them at a distance even their telephoto lenses couldn’t reach Obama’s naked skin.
Can you imagine if George W. Bush had used any combination of words that sounded even vaguely similar to “I’m not going to let you guys [fill in this blank]“?
Here in Boystown, if a guy won’t take off his shirt for whatever reason, or demands people don’t take pictures of him with said shirt off (like at Pride, or during the Market Days street festival), it’s because Mary is ashamed of himself, his body, and has not been hitting the gym like he should be…if he wants to keep up with all the worked-out, buff, Brendens in our looks-obsessed little microcosm.
It’s incredibly rare to encounter a real-life, heterosexual man over the age of 30 who gives a damn whether someone takes a picture of him shirtless or not. Straight guys usually are secure enough in themselves to just let it all hang out. Ever see pictures of Ted Kennedy at the beach?
They’re marvelous for hanging on your fridge and inhibiting your appetite…and good examples of a man secure with himself, his sexuality, and his blubber, while on vacation.
There’s an endless list of things that are strange about our current president…but his obsession with control over his image and all information about him, particularly about his past, is the absolute most bizarre…considering how it’s nothing like any president before him, or any straight man I’ve ever known of.
Hmmmm…wonder what the reason for THAT could be.
***********************************
PS: Like I would leave you with only those gross images above in a post that’s so totally an invitation for shirtless political photos…like these:
JFK Jr. -- who in some alternate dimension had lived, and would be Vice President or President today, most likely.
Senator Scott Brown, in his Cosmo days
Congressman Aaron Schock, randomly shirtless with a bunch of other half-naked guys. All of whom are totally "straight". Just like Obama!
Guess your 80s video game iotacon Senators
Can you guess which Senators are yours?
Here’s some fun for the day…an 80s pixalation of the US Senate, video game style…with iotacons created by Andy Rash. Iotacons are extremely low-resolution portraits, like the characters used in Atari and early Nintendo games (Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers, Legend of Zelda, etc.).
Can you pick out your Senators?
CLUE #1: The image was made on December 17, 2010…so it reflects the results of the November midterm elections (meaning, if someone won an election she or he is in the picture as if that person was already sworn-in).
CLUE #2: Try to pick out the 17 female Senators first, and match them to the 17 women currently in the Senate
CLUE #3: Identify the really obvious male Senators
CLUE #4: See if you can work out a pattern
CLUE #5: Smack yourself at how obvious it was
Wednesday Open Thread: December 29th, 2010
What’s on your minds this Wednesday?
What are people talking about in your part of the country?
QUESTION: “Why doesn’t Obama just release his birth certificate?”. ANSWER: There is something embarrassing to him politically that’s written on it
Yesterday, on Hardball, Chris Matthews asked a very obvious, rhetorical question: ”Why doesn’t Obama just release his birth certificate?”.
ANSWER: Because there is something embarrassing on it politically for Obama that he doesn’t want to have to explain to the American people, and the black community in particular.
I used to think he was listed as “Muslim” on his birth certificate, but I’ve since been convinced that in 1961, when Obama was born, religion wasn’t recorded on a birth certificate. I was born in Ohio in the late 1970s and “Catholic” is written on my birth certificate in several places, so I assumed “Muslim” was written on Obama’s because of his father, who was Muslim, and Islam dictates a son is the religion of his father unless that boy renounces it formally before he is 18. However, a friend of mine who was born in Hawaii prior to 1961 has a daughter who was born in Hawaii in the 1980s…and she sent me copies of her daughter’s and her birth certificate and the two of them don’t have religion anywhere on them. So, that struck down the “Obama is not releasing this because it says ‘Muslim’ on it” theory.
David Axelrod is a political genius for ginning up the “Birther Movement” and planting conspiracy theories out there that say the reason Obama is not releasing his birth certificate is because he was not born in the US. I know for a fact Axelrod did this, and it is one of the smartest political moves in history. It is Alinsky elevated to its purest form, because it completely neutralized all criticism of Obama for not releasing the birth certificate by painting anyone who talks about the issue as a lunatic. Just watch: the second anyone asks WHY Obama won’t just show the world his birth certificate people call that person a lunatic, a “Birther”, and claim they sit around with tinfoil hats on all day listening to conspiracy theories.
This attacks the questioner, and polarizes that person into a pariah for asking a valid question. It’s a genius move, and you can bet Axelrod was behind it…since it has kept the birth certificate question from ever being addressed.
Of course Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961.
But, there’s something on his birth certificate he does not want America to see, and it’s now down to a few options as to what that something is:
(1) His race is listed as Caucasian-Arab on the birth certificate, not as “black” the way he needs it to be to get away with everything he gets away with in life. Obama’s whole schtick is that he is black, not a Caucasian-Arab. His mother was full Caucasian, and his father was only 1/4 black. Most likely, his father was listed as “African Arab” on the race line below his name on that 1961 birth certificate. When the child’s line was completed, it would have been recorded as an amalgam of mother and father, according to how they recorded mixed race births in 1961. A full-blood Caucasian mother plus a father who is 3/4 Arab and 1/4 black would result in a child that is 50% Caucasian/near 50% Arab, but with a little black in him.
That’s not what Obama’s narrative needed to be to get him where he wanted to go (hence, the necessity of him marrying someone like Michelle Antoinette, who gave him street cred in the black community).
So, it’s most likely that his full birth certificate does not say black anywhere on it, but instead has Arab written where Obama doesn’t want it to be. Because a Certificate of Live Birth in Hawaii (a Cliff’s Notes for a birth certificate) does not have the race lines included in the printout, for whatever reason, David Axelrod had that COLB released to the press and ginned up the Birther controversy to keep people from demanding to see the actual birth certificate.
If Obama loses the black community, and if they believe he lied to them and is not really one of them, the whole house of cards tumbles down. So, this is the most likely explanation for why the White House, to this day, refuses to release the birth certificate.
(2) Obama’s adoption by Lolo Soetero in the 1970s complicated the birth certificate and the White House is afraid it can’t explain that to the American people. The few school records that have been released for Obama are from his school in Indonesia where it was recorded that Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetero, his mother’s second husband, and he went by Barry Soetero in Indonesia. A friend of mine was adopted as an older child, and at the time of his adoption his original birth certificate was pulled, changed, and the adoption was noted on it with his legal name change. So, he was born as “John Smith” but became “John Davis” at the time of the adoption. A birth certificate for him that was pulled a day before the adoption would say “John Smith” and one the day after the adoption would say “John Davis”. If he kept going by the name “John Smith” because he liked it better (or he thought it would have gotten him farther with financial aid and admissions in the Ivy League, because he knew those schools wanted a black-sounding name like Barack Hussein Obama) then at some point in the future he would have had a lot of explaining to do if a “John Davis” birth certificate showed up for him (Barry Soetero in Obama’s case). It seems the adoption would have created a lot of weird explaining for Obama to do, and the White House might not believe the American people can grasp all of this…so that could also be why they refuse to release the birth certificate. This is the second most likely explanation for what’s going on.
(3) Barack Obama Sr. is not Obama’s real father. This is the craziest of the remaining theories, because the COLB issued by Hawaii lists this man as Obama’s father. Perhaps the original birth certificate said ‘Father unknown’ and Obama’s mother only later filled in BHO Sr. This weirdness would have been embarrassing for Obama to explain, so that could be why the White House refuses to release the birth certificate. Some people speculate that Frank Marshall, who was married at the time, was really Obama’s father and that BHO Sr. was used as a scapegoat because he lived in Kenya and had children all over the world with a half dozen different women, so what did it matter if Stanley Dunham wrote his name down for her son, too? This could all be possible, but it’s the least likely scenario.
Because Obama has spent most of his life hiding this birth certificate, because of whatever it reveals about him, he’s entrenched himself too much on this issue to ever give that piece of paper up willingly.
The REAL mystery of all of this, at the moment, is why on Earth Chris Matthews decided to talk about this last night on MSNBC.
Matthews is to Obama what a teenage girl is to insert-Tiger-Beat-cover-hunk-of-her-choice-here.
I can’t imagine Matthews ever saying or doing anything to hurt Obama of his own volition, and since MSNBC employs Matthews, and MSNBC is tied inextricably to Obama, I just don’t know why Matthews would ever be allowed to harm Obama in any way.
So, why is he talking about the birth certificate?
It’s a very slow news period right now, so maybe it’s just to gin up ratings.
It’s very, very weird though.
Christmas Ground Report — Pennsylvania
NOTE: Here’s a terrific Ground Report we got from Pennsylvania today, telling us what people were talking about at a holiday gathering there. These Ground Reports are invaluable micro-focus groups chock full of great information.
All of you have a story like this from your own Christmas. We’d love to hear them…and will run every one we get. Just tell us what state you were in, describe what sort of people were at the gathering, and tell us what people said in the political/economic/current events realm that you found interesting and insightful.
Email it to: HillBuzz@gmail.com
**********************************
Dear HillBuzz,
Here is my report back to you on my Christmas family gathering. First, let me say, we never mix
politics and Christmas, ever, it is a day for family and a feast that would blow your mind. Everyone bakes, prepares
all sorts of dishes, pretty much the entire month of December for this annual event. Which is why I haven’t been
HillBuzzing daily, as I love to do. I have been in Christmas mode!
The gathering is held at my brothers home, about an hour and a half drive from where I live, out in the country,
sort of like Sarah’s Alaska, he and the other people in that area, stock freezers with deer meat caught right in
the back yard. They fish, have huge gardens, and truly live off the land. Also they depend on themselves to
protect property and family, they don’t call the police. He has hunting dogs, which are used for hunting but also
protect his property. He teases me since my dog, Jackson, a miniature Schnauzer, wears sweaters, and I carry
him around like a baby. I feel kind of sorry for his dogs, but they are well taken care of and seem to love
what they do. If I lived out there I would have hunting dogs but would still have a Jackson.
I had some serious cat-fights in this back yard, last summer, before the mid-term election, with who I
call the View/Oprah/Katie Couric group who attend our summer gatherings. They go to my sister-in-law’s church.
They think Obama is going to save the world. (Gag) They are liberal, miserable, and want to stay that way.
This gathering of people includes all age groups, new born to very senior citizens. Some Repubs. mostly
life-long Dems. You know, brain washed Dems. I gave up being a Dem in I think 06, when they were attacking
Bush over the surge. I just couldn’t stand any of them, not that I love Republicans as they have betrayed
the people, too. Didn’t want to be Independent, and not be able to vote in primaries.
As people arrived and we greeted them, I was very happy to hear thank you and interest in different issues
I had told them about, The overall mood was the Dems have over-reached and Obama has managed to offend,
piss off or insult people of every age group. They all are impressed with the rapid rise of the Tea Party, and
looking forward to what they may be able to do, as they are fed up with the usual crap that is American politics.
They were angry about Pat Murphy’s attempt at voter fraud.
Most of them like Sarah, all of them think the media will try to destroy her.
The seniors are getting the wills in order in case Gov. Care is not killed, as they probably will be.
No one wants the government messing with the Internet.
All being good parents, none have fat children, and don’t like Moochelle and the food police.
Let me say here, I begged all these people not to vote for O. They wouldn’t listen and thought he was something
entirely different than what he is, an empty suit.
Clearly, they feel duped.
This makes me optimistic for 2012.
I hope this report helps to give you some insight on the state of the Dems in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
Regards,
Patti
