Oh, of course…….the water:

From ESPN:

As ESPN previously reported, WWF, Greenpeace, Defenders of Wildlife, Pew Environment Group and others produced a document entitled “Transition Green” shortly after Obama was elected in 2008. What has happened since suggests that the task force has been in lockstep with that position paper.

Then in late summer, just after he created the task force, these groups produced “Recommendations for the Adoption and Implementation of an Oceans, Coasts, and Great Lakes National Policy.” This document makes repeated references to “overfishing,” but doesn’t once reference recreational angling, its importance, and its benefits, both to participants and the resource.

Additionally, some of these same organizations have revealed their anti-fishing bias by playing fast and loose with “facts,” in attempts to ban tackle containing lead in the United States and Canada.

That same tunnel vision, in which recreational angling and commercial fishing are indiscriminately lumped together as harmful to the resource, has persisted with the task force, despite protests by the angling industry.

As more evidence of collusion, the green groups began clamoring for an Executive Order to implement the task force’s recommendations even before the public comment period ended in February. Fishing advocates had no idea that this was coming.

Perhaps not so coincidentally, the New York Times reported on Feb. 12 that “President Obama and his team are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities.”

From the Hartford Courant:

UConn student among those arrested at protest at Lieberman’s DC office

Nine health-care reform proponents were arrested this morning when they refused to leave Sen. Joseph Lieberman’s Washington office.

Among the arrestees was Brittany Florio, a student at the University of Connecticut. UConn grad John Mohrbacher was also charged.

The protesters are part of a group called Mobilization for Healthcare for All, which has organized civil disobedience actions in cities across the nation.

The group targeted Lieberman’s office because he indicated he would filibuster any healthcare bill that contains a public health insurance option.

“We’re focusing on him because he has said he would block the bill,” said Jason Ortiz, a UConn student from Norwich who is acting as the group’s spokesman.

The protesters entered Lieberman’s office at 9:45 this morning. They asked to speak with the senator, but were told he was not available.

Ortiz said the protestors came to Lieberman’s office to demand the senator return all the campaign contributions he received from Aetna through the years.

They were asked to leave and when they refused, Lieberman’s staff contacted police, Ortiz said. The protesters were still being processed early this afternoon. Ortiz said he did not know what the exact charge was, but said he believes it was criminal trespass.

What a bunch of pathetic, ignorant losers.

Interestingly enough, upwards of 10,000 conservative protesters show up and not a single incident. How ’bout that?

We all heard Nancy Pelosi a few weeks ago, while trying to coax her botox and plasticized face - which if you listen closely, can be heard crackling lke a new leather jacket - into an expression of concerned sadness, respond to a reporter’s question on her feelings about the tone of the healthcare debate

“I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw … I saw this myself in the late ’70s in San Francisco,” Pelosi said, choking up and with tears forming in her eyes. “This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and … I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made.”

She went on to say:

“Our country is great because people can say what they think and they believe, but I also think that they have to take responsibility for any incitement that they may cause.”

Never mind that the Tea Party protests have been 100% non-violent, and that the only violence at the town hall meetings was perpetrated by either SEIU members or the occasional deranged leftist against the generally peaceful conservative protesters.

Never mind that the very violence she refers to from the 70s was the work of the liberal left and the ‘gay community’. You know, her hometown constituency.

Today, bottom feeder/intellectual powerhouse Joy Bahar and her guest Gore Vidal fantasize about murdering George W. Bush. Last week, Chris ‘Tingles’ Matthews says someone should put a pellet gun in Rush Limbaugh’s mouth and pull the trigger. And now, reports are that someone took a shot, as in fired a fucking gun, at Lou Dobbs’ home while his wife was standing outside a couple of weeks ago..

The violence and the violent rhetoric is from the left. It’s always from the left, and Nancy Pelosi, with all her talk about the TEA partiers carrying Racist/Nazi signs and spewing racist rhetoric is as responsible for it as anyone, probably even moreso, as most on the left don’t have a high-profile position like the house speakership from which to peddle their dishonest, hateful insanity from.

I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it a million times more, violence is what they do. 1 2 3

Will Nancy Pelosi now come out, crocodile tears and all, and condemn Bahar, Vidal, and Matthews for inciting violence against conservatives? Will she apologize and take responsibility for her part in this incitement? Don’t hold your breath. To publicly denounce the incendiary words of those who, like Matthews and Vidal, bow at the altar of Obama would require at least a minimal degree of both integrity and character, neither of which she - or our president for that matter - possess.

This is what happens when you elect the criminally stupid to public office.

Chris Cato at WSPA.com reports:

WSPA first reported the mandate on Wednesday after an anonymous citizen faxed a copy of the memo to our newsroom. [Wellford Mayor Sally] Peake was out of town and unavailable for comment. On Friday, reporter Chris Cato caught up with her in her office and questioned her about the origin of the policy. Peake says she issued the mandate because several officers have been injured during chases, driving up insurance costs for the town.

“The officers are costing us more money on insurance than most citizens here in the city of Wellford are even earning,“ says Peake.

She says the city is paying out $20,000 annually in workers’ compensation claims, much of it due to the police force. In July, two officers wrecked their cruisers while chasing suspects and had to go to the hospital for minor treatment. The police chief says three officers have been injured during foot chases in the last two years.

Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright says the policy prevents police from upholding the law—a direct violation of their constitutional oath.

“If a bank robber or a drunk driver or a shoplifter or somebody with a warrant runs on foot, it’s our obligation to do what we can do to bring them to justice,“ says Wright.

But when we asked Peake about her order impeding an officer from stopping a crime in progress, she became defensive and irate. The conversation went as follows:

Reporter: “Are you telling your officers if they witness a crime - they witness someone commit a crime on someone else and they’re ten yards away - they can’t go stop that person?“
Peake: “Is that in there?“ (referring to policy)
Reporter: “It says no chases whatsoever.“
Peake: “Well, that’s what I said, no chases, didn’t I? I didn’t say nothing about a crime. If you see a crime, this that and the other -“
Reporter: “Well, that’s what a chase is - “
Peake: “Well, I told them no chase on foot, and (the police chief) know exactly what I mean, so you’re trying to twist what I -“
Reporter: “No, I’m not. You said no chases. No chases means no chases.“
Peake: (claps hands) “You got you a story, thank God! You are so sweet! You got you a story on a woman in Wellford! Hallelujah! I’m so proud of you, Mr. Cato!“

If I were a criminal, I would be on my way to Wellford, SC right this very minute.

If I were a Wellford resident, I would be doing two things:

• Making sure my firearms are loaded and ready
• Starting immediately, pursuing all legal means of removing this dangerously incompetent and and severely unstable woman from office.

A commenter on the WSPA article had the following to say about Peake:

Posted by ( medic21a ) on September 21, 2009 at 2:39 pm

I have noticed that the people who don’t live in Wellford are mistaken if they think we have not tried to have Sally removed from office. We have contacted the Governor (excuse me 2 Governors), the State Voters Commission, SLED (to investigate where all the fire depts Money went after she disbanded them and threw them and the Rescue Squad out of town hall) and the Attorney Generals Office (2 of them also). Not One of them did anything, it was like she couldn’t be touched (sounded really fishy to me). They even did an audit and still could not tell anyone where the money went. Sally would not let anyone have or even see the audit even though we tried to make a big stink using the “freedom of information act”.

Sally was voted out of office every time the election was run and then came out the box of absentee ballots, from the apartments and the nursing homes (most of the pts couldn’t tell you their name).

Before she was mayor,our Fire and Rescue volunteers had dinners, Bakery sales and yard sales,earning enough money to build a 2nd floor on our town hall. We did all the work with the help of our volunteer that was a contractor. So you all can see we have been going through this mess for quite a while. We are at our wits end. We want it all back like it used to be. We were all there in 1 building having family cookouts, cooking barbeque all night and the entire community was welcome. Channel 7 Problem Solver we have a problem for you!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

No doubt the Obama administration is considering a cabinet position for Peake.

When did this become Glenn Beck’s rally?

Is it because the far left, apparently unaccustomed to taking to the streets without first receiving a telephone call with direct marching orders (and in recent incidences, a call followed by a paycheck) from OFA, ACORN, HCAN, their unions or the like, still can’t come to terms with the fact that normal everyday Americans have the ability, means and desire to act of their own free will? Is the only way they can make sense of it to point to some perceived enemy of theirs and say “he’s the one who’s making them do it”, as though Beck is some sort of conservative pied piper? Frankly, I think it’s amazing how much power and influence they ascribe to a man who they roundly consider to be little more than a buffoon in clown shoes.

Or - and this is where my money lies - is it simply another pathetically weak attempt to marginalize a growing movement that’s making them increasingly uneasy?

Not that a single member of the far left will listen, but here it is for the record - we’re not here because Glenn Beck told us to be here, you mental midgets, we’re here because we want and need to be. We’re here because the far left of the democrat party has given us no choice but to be here. If Glenn Beck didn’t exist, we’d still be here, just as active, vocal, determined and committed.

We didn’t join him, he joined us.

And let’s be really honest for a second - you’ll never openly admit it, but deep down you really do know it’s not about Beck.

On calling it a “racist white movement”:

It’s a shame - and I mean that with sincerity and a great deal of sadness -  that such a large percentage of black Americans have been programmed to believe by their so-called ‘leaders’ like Jackson, Sharpton, the radical churches, and even (especially) ‘do-gooders’ like Ted Kennedy - quite possibly the single greatest enemy that black America has ever had - that they aren’t good enough or smart enough to be self-sufficient, and that the only way up and out for them is through entitlement programs, welfare, affirmative action, and now, socialized medicine and the idea that everyone’s entitled not just to equal opportunity, but equal outcome as well. 45 years of this unconscionable lie and the democratic policies it embraces has led to the massive decimation of the black community that we see today.

It is no surprise then that we don’t see more black faces at the rallies. There are some…I wish there were more. Three of the most popular speakers at the DC rally were black - Lloyd marcus (OK, not a speaker per se, but his re-lyricizing of New York, New Yorky, schlocky as it was, got the crowd going), the Rev C.L. Bryant (whose speech was probably the most passionate and motivating of the day and whom the crowd went -nuts- for. Video as soon as I can find one), and Angela McGlowan, who spoke of the damage black politicians and ‘leaders’ are doing do race relations in our country.

Those who call us racists are being either willfully ignorant, blatantly dishonest, or both about what’s going on here. They lash out because they have nothing else; the facts are against them, and to engage in a substantive argument would expose them as the vicious, spineless racist bigots they themselves truly are.

The far left wants you to believe that black Americans are excluded from our events, that we simply don’t want them there. The fact is, nothing can be further from the truth. If you take an honest look at who spends an inordinate amount of time separating people out by race, ethnicity, gender, sexual proclivities, etc..and I mean an honest look, you’ll quickly come to realize how hypocritical and completely full of shit the left has been and continues to be on this issue. The left has a vested interest in keeping the people of this nation divided - that’s what gives them their power - , and throwing the race/gender/ethnicity/ card out there at every opportunity continues to be one of their most effective methods of perpetuating that division.

As I’ve written here before, we welcome everyone:

Posted April 13th, 2009 at 2:57 pm

I’ve been reading about how the left is starting to play the race card with regards to the tea party protests cropping up all across America. Michelle Malkin reports on how sensationalist race baiter Geraldo Rivera commented on how he’s “never seen any people of color” at the tea parties.

To those who choose to believe Geraldo and those like him, I ask you to consider just one simple thing - who, specifically, is telling “people of color” that they’re not welcome at these protests? If you’re honest with yourself with the answer, you may just start to realize how you are being played by the race hustlers.

Here’s a fact: ALL Americans are welcome at these tea party protests, as well as to any other organized or disorganized gatherings we may have in the future.

Unlike the left, we do not care what race, creed or color our fellow Americans are. We do not need to ’stock’ our protests with ringers in order to play or pander to any particular demographic. We are protesting because we care about the future of America for ALL Americans, not just for some little select group.

Unlike the left, we are honest about who we are, what we’re doing, and why we’re doing it.

Don’t let the race hustlers like Geraldo and Acorn con you on this one - this isn’t a ‘white’ thing, it’s an ‘everyone’ thing. The current level, direction, and sheer wastefulness of government spending is an outrage that should be shared by all Americans. And believe me, when the bill comes due for the current administration’s wild, reckless spending spree, every last one of us, whether black, white, Christian, Muslim, conservative, liberal, etc… will be asked forced to ante up.

Please, come join us. We’d love to have you.

The black men, women and children at yesterday’s rally were, to us, just men, women, and children. They were not ‘African-Americans”, they were not ‘black Americans’, they were just Americans, and I was honored to stand with them.

Hotair: CNN to Gibbs: Does Obama think tea partiers are racist?

I just posted the following at some far left blog after finding, for the umpteenth time this morning, yet another venom-filled attack on the people who attended the 9/12 rally in DC yesterday by some far-left whackjob. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with these people. They’re even trying to claim that pictures of yesterdays event in DC were faked.

…..

Amazing, the amount of…I dunno, trying to be polite here so won’t call it nutjobbery…let’s call it ‘distorted perception’ one can stumble upon by a simple google search for ‘DC crowd estimates’. Seems there are a lot of nervous liberals out there today posting feverishly in an attempt to discredit the very real, very organic movement against the Obama administration’s radical policies and ‘drunken sailor’ spending.

Yes, we know Bush was bad too, but this administration was the proverbial straw.

Try as you may to make this about protecting the rich, about Palin/McCain, about hate and racism (which is the left’s stock-in-trade, not ours), it’s not working.

The speakers at the DC rally yesterday included Rev C.L. Bryant, Mason Weaver, Deneen Borelli and Lloyd Marcus. Look them up, and try to resist the urge to call then “uncle toms”, “sellouts”, or “oreos”.

Instead, try calling them Americans. Like we do.

Whoops, almost forgot. here is a shot of some right wing racist hatemongers clamoring to shake the hand of the aforementioned Mr. Weaver:

I’m not going to spend a lot more time on this one, but some intetesting and somewhat bizarre twists and turns make it worthy of one more post.

Yesterday I posted about the arrest of one Maurice Schwenkler, a 24 year old man charged with smashing out 11 windows at the Colorado Democratic Party headquarters in Denver. During the course of my post, I poked a bit of fun at the guy’s decidedly feminine appearance and wrote something to the effect of “believe it or not, that’s a dude”.

Well, believe it or not, out of all the other points in the story, that’s the one I got taken to task over.

A trackback came in on the original story today from an anarchist-type website, from a post called ” More Evidence That Mainstream Right-Wingers Are Morons“, in which the author takes several bloggers to task for not realizing who Maurice Schwenkler really was in terms of politics and, uh, gender identity.

From the article:

Alright, the really shitty news first. A transgendered anarchist woman was arrested last night, being accused of breaking out Democratic office windows. Why someone could possibly be angry at the democrats is, of course, completely beyond me. After all, they stopped the war in Iraq, ended corporate globilization, have moved swiftly to end fossil fuel use and minimize consumption… oh wait, no, of course not. And they never will. “Gee, I think the puppet on the left shares my beliefs,” “Well I like the puppet on the right.”

So in one fell swoop, democrat operative Maurice Schwenkler has become transgendered anarchist activist Ariel Attack.

Only in America, folks.

This is being covered to death elsewhere, so I’ll leave you with a couple of links before moving on to more pressing issues…. between the Maher and Malkin posts, pretty much all known aspects of this story are covered.

Maurice Schwenkler, charged with vandalizing the state democratic HQ in Denver.

Yup, it’s true.

And no, that is not a picture of Elinor Donohue circa 1972. Believe it or not that’s a dude.

In the early morning hours of Tuesday 8/25/2009, 11 windows of the Colorado Democratic Party headquarters in Denver were smashed by a couple of vandals, one of whom was caught by police and arrested a short time later.

In the wake of the attack, State Democratic Party Chairwoman Pat Waak blamed - in a roundabout way- the attack on the right saying “We ought to be having a serious, conscientious debate about what’s best for the country.” “Clearly there’s been an effort on the other side to stir up hate. I think this is the consequence of it.”

Imagine Ms. Waak’s surprise when it was determined that the suspect apprehended by police, one Maurice Schwenkler, is actually a confirmed liberal - quite possibly a radical one at that, according to information that is still coming in.

From Coloradopols.com:

POLS UPDATE #2: Well, this just got a bit more interesting.

Name: COLORADO CITIZENS’ COALITION
SOS ID: 20085621714
Type: 527 POLITICAL ORGANIZATION
Reporting Period: 10/23/2008 - 11/30/2008     Due: 12/04/2008Date: 11/06/2008
Payee: MAURICE SCHWENKLER
1065 LIPAN
DENVER, CO 80204

Expenditure Type: Electioneering
Original Amount Reported: $0.00
Actual Amount: $500.00
Purpose: COMMUNICATION

That’s the one of two alleged perpetrators in custody. The address listed on Schwenkler’s Secretary of State payee filing from this Democratic-aligned 527 (for which, to be fair, he likely only worked for a few days just before the election) can be Googled back to:

Derailer Bicycle Collective, 1065 Lipan St, Denver CO 80204. Tel: 303-573-3896. Email: derailerbicyclecollective @yahoo.com *.  Community-run, completely free bike shop with an all-volunteer staff.

The Derailer Bicycle Collective, as profiled by Westword a couple of years ago, has an interesting political history, by all accounts peaceful but slightly to the left of Mikhail Bakunin. You’ve probably never heard of Bakunin because, well, that’s how left these kids are. And most people wouldn’t exactly consider them friends of “bourgeois” Democrats–they’re closer to the “Recreate ‘68″ set.

There are currently two trains of thought on this - one is possibility the vandalism was a fake hate crime designed to cast suspicion on republicans - which it in fact did for a little while; the other is that Mr. Schwenkler may be upset with the democrat party for backing away from the public healthcare option.

Look, I could have told you this wasn’t the work of conservatives. Dark-of-night vandalism, defacements (ala the swastika at that Georgia congressman’s office last week, which I’ll bet my last dollar was done by a lib), bombings, arson, tree spiking, booby traps, etc…are almost the exclusive domain of the left.

As for the dem HQ, I sure hope they had insurance.

I’m just…..there are really no words to express….I’m dumbfounded that the white house would attack its own citizens in the manner it has over the past two days. So now we’re a ‘mob’. Were pawns of the republican party. We’re paid agitators. Racists, teabaggers, too well dressed to be legit….

The flat-out lies of Obama and his people, including his new Minister Of Information Linda Douglass - a contemptible, shameless propagandist and liberal media bottom-feeder - have been covered to death by countless other outlets, so I will instead take this opportunity to remind everyone what liberal protests look like.
