Running Headlong Over a Cliff

So the latest Democrat tactic is to attack Sarah Palin’s experience in office.  We’ll I’ve kind of touched on that in a previous post, Why Conservatives Claim “Media Bias”, Example #2.  To be honest, the swiftness of the attack, and the coordination even took me a little by surprise.  I figured it would take a day or so before they started hammering away at a relative unknown the national stage.

Then again, attacking people, using outright lies, and distortion is what Democrats and liberals do best.  So I guess I shouldn’t have been so taken off-guard.

However, going after Sarah Palin’s experience, and the whole “a heartbeat away from the presidency” crap is picking the wrong frickin’ scab in my humble opinion.  In fact, they might be shooting themselves in the foot if they continue this up to the Presidential Debates.

Why Conservatives Claim “Media Bias”, Example #2

McCain picks his vice-presidential candidate: Sarah Palin.  And it takes no more than a few hours for the attacks to begin.

Relatively unknown, Sarah Palin is the governor of Alaska who, by all accounts, is not only a government reformer, but a all-out conservative on all fronts.  So, what do I read on the Internet today?

Analysis: Palin’s age, inexperience rival Obama’s

Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire

I know a few friends who are Democrats; not many, but a few.  Early on in the Democrat primary, when stuff about Father Phlager and Reverend Wright came out, and when Michelle Obama declared that this was the first time in her adult life that she was proud of her country, I started seeing signs of something amiss on the Barak Obama front.  I openly told my Democrat friends that Barak Hussein Obama isn’t the Democratic Party’s strongest candidate – Hillary Clinton was.  One thing after another started popping up in Barak Obama’s background, especially his ties to far-left radical types. 

From looking at the guy, Obama seems thoughtful, intelligent, and reasoned.  He doesn’t use the same clichéd comments that most leftist radical types use.  But boy, does the guy seem surrounded by them.

Then along comes Bill Ayers, infamous Weatherman bomber.

Biden “Gravitas”

So, I watched parts of Joe Biden’s acceptance speech.  I found at least two instances where he has contradicted himself from previous statements, some made only a year back.

If you want me to offer my assessment of Biden’s contribution to Barak Hussien Obama’s candidacy: he’s a zit waiting to be popped.  It’s pretty obvious to me that he’s swallowing the Obama policy on things, which is just opening him up for attacks from the McCain camp.

Why Conservatives Claim “Media Bias”, Example #1

A few weeks ago, perusing Internet news, you might have seen an article stating,”Pew Survey: Viewers of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert Score High on News Knowledge“.  The author of the article is a guy by the name of Greg Mitchell.  In the “report”, Greg goes on to claim that people who watch shows like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, “are more knowledgeable about current events (as judged by three test questions) than watchers of ‘real’ cable news shows hosted by Lou Dobbs, Bill O’Reilly and Larry King, among others — as well as average consumers of NBC, ABC, Fox News, CNN, C-SPAN and daily newspapers.”

Wow!  What a revelation!  You mean two different comedy shows provide more information than all those networks?

This is the part where I back up the truck, just a tad.  There are a few key things missing from the article I cited.

Is Biden Some Sort of Joke?

Is Biden Some Sort of Joke?

Given my political leanings, you’ve probably got a good idea that Barak Hussein Obama isn’t real high on my list of who I want to be President of the United States.  In fact, he’s right down there with the candidate from the Communist Worker’s Party.  I’ll probably hold my nose and vote for John McCain, who is only marginally better, but not by much.  So who Barak Hussein Obama picks as his running mate is of very little consequence to me.  Barak is the headliner in that attraction.  I don’t care about the warm-up act.

But…uh…Joe Biden?  Seriously?

Which Group is the Bigger Set of Idiots?

Ok, recently some of you may have read the following article: Most companies in US avoid federal income taxes

Farming Hot Air

Before anyone gets an idea to the contrary, I’m all for developing alternative energies.  Seriously.  I don’t care if they if the electricity that heats my house comes from pig’s crap, or the oil that they make gasoline comes from horse hides – just so long that this country makes more of it.  I have better things on which to spend the money the government allows me to keep.  Ethanol is cool with me, so is bio-diesel.  If it’s cheap, allows me to drive more, and I can heat my house to eighty-degrees during the winter I frankly don’t care what makes it, or where it comes from.Wind power, however, probably has to be one of the biggest enviro-jokes ever played, with solar power taking the lead in this category.  And you know as well as I do that there are some out there who actually believe that America can function with these two power sources, exclusively.  I think the nut-job environmentalists have ceded Solar as the thing that’ll save the human race from extinction (saving us from our greenhouse gas-producing, wasteful ways), and are now heavily pushing wind farms.  T. Boone Pickens is the latest uber-rich crusader trying to somehow “reform” his image by bowing down to people who want to bring the US to its knees economically.  He claims that America has the “best” wind (no doubt most of it comes from Washington DC and California), and that wind farms are a clean, environmentally safe way to meet our energy demands.  Wind farms produce no toxic fumes, are cheap to set up and maintain, and give us access to a virtually untapped resource. 

So, it seems there is nothing but upsides to this panacea, right?  Wrong.

Where’s Sean Penn These Days?

Remember when the Left in this country got their panties in a bunch over the Iraq invasion?  You know: how they’ve gone around claiming that this is “Bush’s illegal war”?  Remember them?

 

Ok, what do you call the invasion of Georgia by Russia?  Where’s the condemnation of the world’s nations?  Where are the million-person protests in the streets of major European capitals. Where’s the outrage from the Arab Street (I say jokingly)?  Where are the human shields flying over to Georgia so as to stand in front of hospitals, and prevent the liberty-loving Russians from blowing those commie Georgians back into the Stone Age?

 

More importantly, where’s Sean Penn?  I thought he was all for pacifism, and protecting the innocent from the hell that is war.

 

Welcome to the Unknown Conservative’s Weblog.

I guess as my first entry I should tell you a little bit about myself.  I live in the United States of America – the greatest nation in the world.  I develop software for a living, and make a good chunk of change doing so.  I’m also about as far right-wing, and pro-religion as you’ll probably get these days.

I know a little bit about history.

I’ve done just about a little of everything.

Chicks dig me.

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, and I’m a really swell guy too. 

(Yep.  It’s pretty much downhill from there.)
