Fighting Stupidity Since 1992

This is just plain crazy and quite frankly anti-American. Time Warner Links Web Prices With Usage:

NEW YORK (AP) — Time Warner Cable will experiment with a new pricing structure for high-speed Internet access later this year, charging customers based on how much data they download, a company spokesman said Wednesday.

The company, the second-largest cable provider in the United States, will start a trial in Beaumont, Texas, in which it will sell new Internet customers tiered levels of service based on how much data they download per month, rather than the usual fixed-price packages with unlimited downloads.

It is always surprising when a company takes a page from the government playbook of waiting until someone is dependent on a service and then tax the crap out of it.  Oh wait, this isn’t a tax, it is consumer choice! What a sack of crap!!  Hey Time Warner here’s an idea for you, why don’t you try innovating your product first and then charge appropriately for the service.  Crazy? I know.  Really though, shouldn’t this have been the first step followed by the current unlimited bandwidth we now currently enjoy?  I thankfully don’t live in an area serviced by Time Warner but I fear that if this plan succeeds all providers will adopt the same model, so if you do currently have TW, please call and air your frustration.

What kind of sick world do we live in these days?  Now we are arresting 13 year old girls for “inappropriately” touching boys of the same age?  13-year-old girl arrested for alleged school bus assaults:

PALMER –—A 13-year-old Sutton girl is being held in the Mat-Su Youth Facility after two boys said she sexually assaulted them on a school bus.
The boys, also 13, of Sutton, said the girl touched them over their clothing, Palmer Police Det. Kelly Turney said. Police went to Palmer Junior Middle School Jan. 9 to investigate and ended up arresting the girl.

Wrong? Yes. But unless the girl was trying to do a little late term circumcision, where’s the foul here? Don’t want to speak for all men out there but I think most men would have killed for this kind of attention at 13. 

Just a follow up to the previous post.  Dems Says Pentagon Using Scare Tactics:

WASHINGTON (AP) - In their latest tussle with the White House on the Iraq war, two leading House Democrats said Tuesday the Pentagon was using scare tactics to try to goad Congress into passing another war spending bill.

And Reps. David Obey and John Murtha said they won’t budge. Obey, D- Wis., chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, and Murtha, D- Pa., head of the panel’s Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, said they won’t support more money for the war this year unless President Bush accepts a timetable for troop withdrawals.

Last week, the House passed a $50 billion bill that would keep operations afloat for several more months, but sets a goal of bringing most troops home by December 2008. After Bush threatened to veto the measure, Senate Republicans blocked it.

Ok, I won’t deny that I am very biased towards our military.  In fact I personally believe it is one of the few powers that the Federal government was actually given under the constitution.  With that disclosure out of the way, when will the average American realize that this current Congress is either very close to or already has betrayed American security past the point of repair?  Seriously, if we don’t have the balls to stick out a fight we are winning, how will we have the balls to fight a war that could go either way? 

Look around the world right now, our enemies are rallying around a weak America.  Liberals would have you believe that if it weren’t for George Bush and his “failed policies”, that the world would love America unconditionally.  These are the same people who believed the cold war would go away if President Reagan weren’t such a stubborn dick.  They were wrong then and they are wrong now.  Stop trying to cut America’s balls off to please the other pussy countries of the world.  America must show its resolve to the rest of the world or we’ll be fighting a nuclear China and Russia instead of a bunch of misguided towel heads holding an express ticket to hell.

I have absolutely had it with the idiots in public office, specifically John “Surrender” Murtha.  This cat is one of the craziest, most blatantly anti-American (read anti-Bush) Congressman this country has ever seen.  Thanks to Murtha’s stubbornness and pure hate for the current administration, he and his liberal homies could very easily snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.  From the Washington Times, War progress not affecting fund standoff: 

House Democrats’ point man in the war-funding showdown with the White House today dismissed U.S. military gains in Iraq and vowed to tighten the purse strings until President Bush accepts a pullout plan.

“Look at all the people that have been displaced, all the [lost] oil production, unemployment, all those type of things,” said Rep. John P. Murtha, chairman of Appropriations defense subcommittee. “We can’t win militarily.”

Hmm, so if we can’t win militarily what are we suppose to do John, pass a comprehensive health care plan and the world will just love us to death?  If you read that second paragraph in the quote above, doesn’t it almost seem like he is talking about America?  Displaced people who have had to move from the cities they grew up in because the city has been over run by illegal immigrants and the lack of American drilling at home to appease the freaky environmentalists.  Shouldn’t we be happy Iraq has lost oil production?  Won’t that help save the frickin’ planet?  I am disgusted that millions of Americans have given their lives for this country and we show our gratitude by electing ass clowns like John Murtha.  Give yourself a pat on the back Pennsylvania, you must be proud!

I have long argued (mostly with my wife) that the women’s movement is primarily responsible for the decline in America.  Women’s rights are great, I wouldn’t change that, but with most women now in the workplace the American quality of life has eroded.  Huh?  Sounds a little sexiest doesn’t it?  It is but let me attempt to illustrate what I am referring to here.  What have we as a society gained by having working mom’s in every business? 

As a nation we have seen the quality of our schools decrease as they have had to take on more of a role in raising the students.  Our children today are not getting the attention from their family they need because the parents are too involved with work.  Divorce rates have soared without the stability of the traditional family roles. We have seen household incomes increase two fold which at first was great but now has driven up costs across the board almost making it mandatory to have two wage earners in the family.  Obesity in America has skyrocket because we have become dependent on fast food to make up for the lack of cooking from the woman in the house.  Our politician’s tell us we need immigrant labor to make up for a shortage in the workplace.  A shortage that wouldn’t exist if women weren’t given the right to murder their own children. 

Anyway, now that I have exposed myself as a chauvinistic pig, here is an interesting and somewhat related article on the budget crisis in middle income families: From MSNBC.com Life is harder now, some experts say:

Shopping malls are packed every weekend. Restaurants can’t open fast enough. Everyone seems to be wearing designer shoes, jackets and jeans and sipping $4 lattes. Credit card commercials constantly advocate splurging and, it seems, U.S. consumers are all too ready to comply.

So what’s the problem? Why do so many middle class Americans with so much stuff say they feel so squeezed? If they are dogged by debt, isn?t it their own fault?

Perhaps, some experts say, things are not as they appear.

So Barack Obama is now using faith to justify environmental hysteria? Obama Links Faith to Environmentalism:

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama said Sunday that his religious beliefs influence his plans for how to protect the environment.

Speaking before religious leaders and others at what he called an “interfaith forum on climate change,” the Illinois senator said God has entrusted humans with the responsibility of caring for the earth, and “we are not acting as good stewards of God’s earth when our bottom line puts the size of our profits before the future of our planet.”

“It is our responsibility to ensure that this planet remains clean and safe and livable for our children and for all of God’s children,” he told about 200 people gathered at the downtown public library. “But in recent years, science has made it undeniably clear that our generation is not living up to this responsibility. Global warming is not a someday problem, it is now.”

Personally, my faith is what leads me to believe global warming is an absolute joke. I’m not saying we can’t make the Earth heat up a tiny bit, I just don’t believe man is capable of destroying it. It is clear from scripture that there are people on Earth when Christ returns. If global warming can destroy the Earth how would this be possible? Perhaps Barack should read the Bible before he claims to know God’s desire for us on the planet He created. This is simply a bum politician trying to woo fence sitters by using flowery language to invoke a greater purpose in people. Or as I like to call it, a deceptive plan to destroy capitalism and create a socialist state.

One more musician I won’t buy music from is Barry Manilow.  Wait, I wouldn’t have bought his crap anyway, so never mind.  Apparently Barry finds hot conservative women intimidating and can’t stand to be on the same stage with them.  At least that’s what his “people” are saying.  Barry to Elisabeth: Your “View” is Dangerous:

TMZ has learned that legendary singer Barry Manilow has pulled out of his scheduled appearance on “The View” tomorrow — because he strongly disagrees with host Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s conservative view! Paging Rosie O’Donnell!

Like all great things these days, the comments following the article are the best part.  My favorite user comment’s are from “women” who claim Elisabeth is a disgrace to women.  HA!  What kind of world do we live in where overweight lesbian’s are viewed by some as a role model?  It must be a woman’s world because straight men would take a gal like Elisabeth every time over the hefty competition. 

ABCNews.com has posted excerpts of the long awaited Osama bin Laden video. How exciting! My favorite part isn’t the insane rambling of bin Laden, it’s the insane rambling of user comments. I feel like I have already done this today but here are a couple more of the thought provoking crap these retards spew:

Mr. Bin Laden always seems to pop up just when the White House needs him most to distract the American people from what’s really going on. And the fake beard? Try fake video– if Youtubers can produce special effects to rival Geroge Lucas on a Mac, how hard do you think it is for the government, backed by the latest in technology, to do the same with some old Bin Laden footage? Just for once, consider the source of all this media alarmist propaganda, and ask yourselves– who benefits? Not any of us, that’s for sure.

Osama bin Laden is a religious conservative.
George W Bush is a religious conservative.
These guys are opposite sides of the same koo koo coin.
They thrive on one another.
They need one another.
Without OBL, GWB wouldn’t be in office now.
Thanks to GWB, there is an incredibly effective terrorist training camp called “Iraq”.
The conservative mentality will destroy the world.

Ah the wisdom! How could we have been so wrong? It must be the conservative movement that will destroy the world, at least according to jc. News flash for you jc and your dim witted buddy h5mind, America was attacked by a group of terrorist swine almost six years ago today. It isn’t the conservative mentality that will destroy the world, it is the ignorance of ass clowns like you that conservatism is trying to protect. The more I hear from idiots like these two above, I have to wonder if it really is worth fighting to protect the liberties of those too retarded to understand what is at stake?

Yesterday it was announced that a new al Qaeda video would be released soon, with the starring role going to the devil’s bitch, Osama bin Laden. Whatever, a new video from a child molesting, hell bound, sodomizing ass clown shouldn’t really warrant a lot of discussion. Al Qaeda still wants to kill us, we need to leave the Jews to fight for themselves, etc… I don’t even find it that unimaginable that the ass clown is still alive. What I can’t believe and what has already ruined my Friday morning, is the stupidity of others. Take for example reader comments at The Blotter, an ABC news’ web site, in response to a story about the new Bin Laden video: New Videotape From Bin Laden; Al Qaeda’s No. 1 Still Alive.

The following are a few of my favorite examples from a bunch of absolutely moronic retards:

Maybe Americans should force this President (Bush) to follow our Forefathers’ wishes, namely that we extricate ourselves from our involvement and meddling in the Mideast and pursue an isolationist course.

Stand firm against bin Laden, but stand firm for AMERICA’S interests, not Israels. Wouldn’t that be a refreshing change?

911 was an inside job. Wake up people.
ABC seems to be the go to network for this kind of propaganda. If there is a website with the video, why don’t you give the URL? Impeach Cheney/Bush before they nuke Iran.

Abrac… It’s a shame that those of you in the “blame Clinton” brigade forgot what the Republican party was up to when Clinton wanted to go after Osama. — I guess you forgot about Reagan, Bush Sr, etc. and how they helped build Al-Qaeda in the first place.. and how Bush Jr. couldn’t defend us against the monster his father helped create. — History is a great teacher, if you don’t ignore big chunks of it for the sake of partisanship.

If you were keeping score between these two knuckleheads Bush would not only be losing by a big scoe but in the minor leagues delegated to the bench. When are we going to let the American people know the truth? I’m still convinced the the WTC was an inside job.

In fairness there are quite a few comments on the site that are pro-American and not a bunch of conspiracy loons. The point being made here is Bin Laden is winning this war, every year that goes by sees more and more lefties jump off the deep end. We as a nation can’t project our will on others abroad when we don’t even know what this country stands for at home.

Don’t know how I missed this one the other day but apparently Geraldo Rivera would love to spit on Michelle Malkin.  Michelle’s take is here and the original Boston Globe piece can be found here.  I don’t profess to be a marriage counselor but perhaps these kinds of flirtatious comments could explain Mr. Rivera working on his fourth marriage.  Then again it could just be another case of pansy liberal syndrome; picking on a woman in order to make one feel more manly than their tiny little dick allows.
