Ron Paul Supporters Launch Veteran’s Day Money Bomb

Posted at November 11, 2011 by Kathleen Gee // 2012 Elections, 2012 GOP Candidates, Ron Paul

Ron Paul served in the USAF as a flight surgeon during the Vietnam war.Supporters of Ron Paul have organized another Money Bomb today in honor of Ron Paul’s service as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force.

Grassroots supporters of GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul invented the Money Bomb concept during the 2008 campaign, and it caught on like wildfire.

One of Ron Paul’s campaign promises is to bring home the troops from the undeclared, unconstitutional “kinetic actions” and civil wars the United States is involved in around the world, so they can spend their paychecks here in America. There are currently American military men and women deployed in over 120 countries around the world, costing us over a trillion dollars a year. Once we bring the troops home, they can actually make a difference in our national security by helping to keep illegal aliens and Mexican drug cartel murder squads on the other side of the border, where they belong.

Ron Paul is a former U.S. Air Force flight surgeon, and gets more donations from active duty members of the U.S. military than all other GOP candidates combined. In fact, the USAF, U.S. Army and U.S. Navy are Ron Paul’s top three sources of campaign contributions.

Whether or not you like Ron Paul, this video, put together by a supporter, will probably make your screen go all wobbly and blurry, thanks to all the clips of troops reuniting with their families. (Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)

Penn State Sex Scandal: Does Being Abused Turn A Boy Gay Later In Life?

Posted at November 11, 2011 by Kevin DuJan // Being Gay, Boystown

Dear HillBuzz,

Your coverage of the Penn State child-rape scandal got me to thinking.  I wanted to ask you this here, but I don’t want to offend you or anyone and I don’t want to seem insensitive.  I really want to know the answer to this and couldn’t think whom else to ask, so I am asking you and hope you take no offense.

Do you believe that some of these boys who were raped under coach Joe Paterno’s watch at Penn State will grow up to be gay because of what happened to them?

Have you found this to be a common pivot point among your friends in Boystown?

Have you ever known anyone who was abused sexually who was turned gay by the experience?

I hope this does not come across as judgmental.  I honestly want to know if this kind of traumatic abuse causes one to become gay. You know that my son Robbie is gay and he had no abuse in his past, but I wonder if a boy who would have grown up straight could have been altered by an abuse experience that then turned him gay.

Sincerely,

Patricia Melton

Mineral City, Ohio

[ NOTE: The video above is from the old TV show "What's My Line?", where a panel of celebrities had to guess a famous person's identity by asking a series of questions.  It's sad that Elizabeth Taylor is gone.  She was a marvelously kind woman who was so good to so many...and who was sadly remembered for too long for being sick and in a wheelchair.  It's nice to look back on her in all her glory. ]

Today in History:

2008 – RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) sets sail on her final voyage to Dubai. This was supposed to be turned into a hotel like the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, but because Dubai’s economy collapsed that never happened. It’s weird, but just a few short years ago all the travel magazines and publications like TIME and Vanity Fair or whatever were claiming Dubai would become this futuristic wonderland with all sorts of amazements…but anyone who has ever studied the people who actually live in Dubai knew that would never happen.

2004 – The Palestine Liberation Organization confirms the death of Yasser Arafat from unidentified causes. Mahmoud Abbas is elected chairman of the PLO minutes later. Honest to goodness, there are pictures of Yasser Arafat hanging in Chicago Public Schools like he’s a hero.  It’s beyond sick.

1993 – A sculpture honoring women who served in the Vietnam War is dedicated at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Have you ever been there and seen it in person?  It’s incredible.

1940 – World War II: Battle of Taranto – The Royal Navy launches the first aircraft carrier strike in history, on the Italian fleet at Taranto. Whenever I think of aircraft carriers, I think of the giant G.I. Joe aircraft carrier playset from the 80s that I obsessively wanted one Christmas but was too expensive to get…and it was like this mythical thing always hearing that somebody’s friend’s cousins’ neighbor had it, but I never saw one in the flesh (or, plastic, as the case may be).

oday I think I want to learn why Route 66 faded away.  It goes right through the middle of Chicago, you know.  Someday, I think it would be fun to drive it.  Has anyone done that?

What’s going on in your part of the country today?

What, in your opinion, was the big story from this week?

BIZARRE: White House releases statement on breakup of Barack Obama and his boyfriend Reggie Love

Posted at November 10, 2011 by Kevin DuJan // Being Gay, Boystown

We are living in amazingly strange times, friends.

The White House today issued a historic and unprecedented press release — where a male President of the United States has announced his breakup with a male staffer and longtime lover.

In the press release, the term “body man” is used instead of “boyfriend”, “lover”, “paramour”, “special friend”, “f***buddy”, or all sorts of other appropriate vocabulary. But, if you’re someone who hasn’t been in a coma for the last couple of years, you know the real deal.

Barack Obama is more like Elton John than the White House admits in the press release.

Elton John was married — to a woman — for a while a long time ago.  The first time he sang “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”, it was with Kiki Dee.  He hid who he really was, and how many guys he’d date, for a very long time; that was for the purposes of his career, no doubt.

And then, finally, when he accomplished everything he wanted to do musically, he came out of the closet and started throwing huge, fabulous parties all over the world with lots of hunks in speedos and sparkle, sparkle, SPARKLE everywhere.  You just gotta love that.

It was all RuPaul for sweet Elton from that point forward, possums.

I see a similar Dame Edna-esque future for the current President of the United States, who is still in his Kiki Dee mode with our surly current First Lady as his beard…and guys like Reggie Love and Kal Penn mysteriously booted from the White House every now and then, apparently after Barack Obama tires of giving them kisses.

I have no idea who’ll replace Reggie Love as Obama’s next “bodyman”.  Based on his past dating history, Barack Obama seems to favor Pakistani guys like Penn, who was similar to Obama’s boyfriend in college (pictured below), who possessed that exotic look our president loves.

It’s quite clear that in the years ahead Barack Obama will replace Elton John as the reigning, party queen, gay icon.  After he leaves the White House and exiles himself in Hawaii come 2013, supposedly to focus on building his presidential library in Honolulu (but, I think, in no small part to scope out the hotties in their board shorts), I bet Barack Obama will nurse his wounds and discover his inner fabulous.

With no political career left to worry about, he can openly be himself. Draped in colorful muumuus, with a retinue of hunky shirtless Secret Service studs around him, Barack Obama will find himself in a new kind of paradise no doubt.

Go ahead and laugh at the idea now, if you want.  I remember hearing how some women scoffed at the idea that Elton John was gay back in the day too. “But he’s married!”, “He has a wife!”, “I can’t believe he’s gay!”.  Well, believe it, sisters.

The current President of the United States is as gay, or even more gay, as Elton John.  It might take ten years or so for him to finally come out and hold court on the circuit party scene, or this might be a case like with Rock Hudson and Liberace where the truth only comes out once Barack Obama has passed on far into the future…but there’s just no reason for guys like Kal Penn and Reggie Love to play the strange roles that they have played in Barack Obama’s life unless they were his boyfriends.

Is Jimi Mistry single?

Somebody get him on the phone…I suspect there’s a job open at the White House for him if he’d want it.

For more on Barack Obama being gay (and the media’s refusal to report on it) listen to this SPECIAL REPORT on The HillBuzz & Mrs. Fox Show!

Great Merciful Zeus — Penn State pimped young boys out to DONORS for sex

Posted at November 10, 2011 by Kevin DuJan // Featured Content, Great Merciful Zeus

Yesterday, I was talking to a friend about what’s going on at Penn State and she asked me what I thought should happen, and I told her without hesitation that everyone on the administrative staff of Penn State should be fired immediately…and a good portion of them should go to prison.

EVERYONE. Down to the last secretary in the administrative offices.  Every last one of these people need to be fired, because there is no way that the rapes of young boys wouldn’t have filtered through to the administrative assistants, file clerks, and janitors at that school over the years.

And anyone who heard even a RUMOR of young boys being raped at Penn State should have dropped whatever they were doing to RUN to the nearest phone to call the police.  Absent any access to a phone, they should have taken off running through the streets making as much noise as possible until authorities were alerting to what was going on.

ALL OF THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE FIRED.

Apparently, the next bombshell to drop in all of this is that young boys were pimped out to wealthy Penn State donors so these men (and possibly some women) could have sex with minors and have their perversions facilitated by Penn State in exchange for contributions to the school.

That’s the sort of thing that perverts in Europe fly to Thailand to do to little boys and girls…and here it appears this was happening in “Happy Valley” Pennsylvania all this time.  No wonder American sickos weren’t going to Thailand…it was a much shorter flight to College Station, Pennsylvania.

All of Penn State’s large donors need to be investigated by the police immediately.

Everyone in Penn State’s development office needs to be dragged down to the police station and held under the Patriot Act until they crack and divulge what, exactly, was being done in terms of sexually trafficking minors at Penn State.

PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE NOW -- it is the most disturbing thing I have come across in years.

******************************************************************************************

If reading this outrages you, do something about it.

Pick up the phone and give the people involved a telephone call and tell them what you think about this story.

You will make a difference because there is just no way that all of this could have gone on at Penn State for all these years without hundreds of people knowing it was happening and looking the other way.

I’ve worked in development offices at nonprofits and let me tell you, the secretaries and assistants gossip like nobody’s business. There is a lot of down time in the development circles and a nice coffee cubby area in every development office. There is no way that young boys could have been pimped out at Penn State to large donors without the entire development staff knowing what was going on and choosing to look the other way.

Please call Penn State and the Second Mile Foundation’s Development Offices and tell them that everyone working there needs to be ashamed of themselves for not calling the police and demanding an investigation into what was happening to young boys at Penn State.

I am going to call as many of these people as I can today and tell them they should be ashamed of themselves for not going to the police with anything they may have heard regarding the sexual trafficking and rape of young boys at Penn State.

Hollywood idiot Ashton Kutcher sides with child abusers — then gets slapped back by his own fans HARD

Posted at November 10, 2011 by Kevin DuJan // Hypocrisy, The Left

Yesterday, Hollywood idiot Ashton Kutcher used Twitter to side with the child abusers at Penn State, outraged that football coach Joe Paterno was fired for knowingly allowing young boys to be raped in his football locker room.

Almost immediately, Kutcher’s fans on Twitter slapped him back hard for siding with the molesters and not the victims in this matter.

Kutcher claims he didn’t really know what he was talking about and hadn’t heard that the rape of young boys was involved in this matter.

This reminds me a lot of ignorant people out there who have no idea who Che Guevara really was — or what he himself did to children — but love wearing those “super-cool” Che tee shirts or post images of Guevara on their websites, like he’s some sort of history hero.

That’s Johnny Depp, above, wandering around Hollywood somewhere promoting Che Guevara as the latest in hip, Hollywood, casual wear.

That’s a screengrab from a page on the William Fremd High School website where teacher Jason Spoor glamorizes Che Guevara (and Karl Marx, too) as a history hero worthy of inclusion alongside exotic vacation photos of himself.

Leftists, whether you find them in Hollywood or more locally teaching in the public education system, evidence poor judgment when it comes to people like Joe Paterno and Che Guevara.

This is something we’ve been reporting on for months on The HillBuzz & Mrs. Fox Show because the Left has a tendency to turn a blind eye to crimes committed against children in its rush to create heroes out of people like Paterno and Guevara that they might actually know very little about.

I have to admit I’d never heard of Joe Paterno until this week.  I had a friend who went to Penn State and I used to write to her in “Happy Valley” many years ago and I was aware that football was a big thing in College Station, Pennsylvania.  I understand that many people called Paterno “Grandpa Joe”.  But, I’ve learned that Paterno knowingly allowed the rape of young boys to continue in the Penn State locker rooms.

It’s obvious to me that if anyone discovers someone raping children (or anyone for that matter) then that person needs to dial 911 immediately and ask the police to bring every available officer to take names and crack skulls.  I think the SWAT team should be involved and the child molesters should be treated like Al Queda operatives. Aside from terrorists, those who commit crimes against children are the most vile monsters to ever walk this Earth.

Which is why seeing Che Guevara honored as a history hero at William Fremd High School in Palatine, Illinois on a web server funded by US taxpayers is equally disturbing to me, since Guevara raped and murdered children by the THOUSANDS.

The Left doesn’t seem to appreciate the enormity of that, which results in those hipster tee shirts worn by Depp and the homage to Guevara displayed by Spoor…but in actuality serial killer John Wayne Gacy harmed fewer children than Che Guevara. But, Guevara’s a history hero at William Fremd High School…and “Granpa Joe” and his coaching staff are heroes at Penn State.

There is true evil in this world, and it feeds off the sort of ignorance displayed by Ashton Kutcher in his tweets, Johnny Depp’s fashion choices, and teacher Jason Spoor’s web decorating decisions.

For whatever reason, the political Left in this country consistently chooses to apologize for, downplay, or downright ignore the evil committed against children.

Why is that and what can YOU do to change this?

5 Things You Need to Know About the CNBC Republican Debate in Michigan

Posted at November 10, 2011 by Kevin DuJan // 2012 Elections, 2012 GOP Candidates

On November 9th, 2011, CNBC hosted a Republican presidential debate at Oakland University near Detroit Michigan.

Have you ever seen a production of a Broadway musical that was performed by small children — or even animals, such as cats and dogs — instead of actual professionals?  At its core, the CNBC debate last night was a kindergarten production of Little Shop of Horrors, at a kindergarten without the budget for sets or costumes (so you had to use your imagination instead) and where precocious little Sally forgot her lines and shy little Timmy wet himself on the stage.

The moderators of the debate were horrible, particularly the forgettable woman whose name might have been Sharon something or another. CNBC would have been better served inviting a random citizen off the street to moderate; I know the questions asked of the candidates would have been more astute and worthwhile.

Before we get into what the candidates said last night, I need to note how spectacularly foolish it was for the Republican Party to agree to a debate on CNBC that would not be carried as a live stream for people who do not have cable television.  These debates should be available to ALL Americans to watch as they happen. There is absolutely no justification for NBC to not allow this feed to be live streamed over the Internet.  I know that NBC is in last place in the ratings and that only dozens of people, at most, watch MSNBC or CNBC combined, but it’s not prohibitively expensive for something as important as this debate to be live streamed for people who do not have (and in most cases, cannot afford) cable television.  Why do Republicans invest the time participating in a debate that will only be watched by a small slice of affluent people — who, if they’re watching an NBC network are more likely than not to be Leftist inclined anyway.

Foolishness.

For those of you who were not able to watch last night’s debate on CNBC, here are the five things you need to know about what happened in Detroit, Michigan at Oakland University:
