John Laird, Dec 6: Keep morons off the editorial page.

.
Our local community is cursed with a leftist bigot as an editorial page editor for our rapidly shrinking, can't-be-bankrupt-fast-enough paper. His rank hypocrisy is legendary. His applications of standards to anyone to the right of Mao (excluding himself, of course)? The stuff of used bird cage liners from here to, well, Longview.

So when he leads off with THIS pap:

Many politicians confuse election night with graduation night, falsely believing voters elevated them to a higher level of instant wisdom.

Well, I just have to jump up and bitch-slap this clown.

Now, our two most recent elections have resulted in lying scumbags like Obama and Tim "The Liar" Leavitt getting the job. Unfortunately, our system of elections only requires qualifications of age and citizenship (equally unfortunate is the fact that our moron Secretary of State does nothing to address the issue of citizenship or identity.) to punch a hole in a ballot; proving a lack of ignorance or stupidity doesn't disqualify you.

Politicians and editorial page editors count on that ignorance. Politicians, so they can scam you like both the examples I've mentioned here; editorial page editors so they believe in their heart of hearts that you won't catch their hypocrisy, their biases, their agenda and the damage they frequently cause the community unfortunate enough to have them.

Like the moron we're stuck with.

Because, here's a clue, idiot stick:

YOUR elevation to editor of this despicable rag's editorial page damned sure didn't jack you up to any level of wisdom, instant or otherwise, either.

Unfortunately for us, what it did is jack up your petty, little man ego to the point where you can use your increasingly smaller soap box to attack and belittle those of us wise enough to know both what a putz you've become, and how moronic your fringe-left positions actually are.

Odd, isn't it? Here, again, you can point out the obvious about someone else, in this case, politicians; without applying the same criteria to yourself.

Gee.

What a surprise.

Sam "The Scumbag" Reed: let's work to hurt democracy.

.
Unfortunately, this state is cursed with arguably the worst Secretary of State in the United States today: Sam Reed.

Reed, an utter embarrassment as Secretary of State, has done nothing to increase the security of our elections.

He has done nothing to make sure that those who register to vote are citizens.

He has done nothing to make sure that the votes come in actually belong to the voter named.

What he HAS done is whine and snivel about how "hard" it is to keep convicted felons from voting, so instead of doing his damned job, he worked to increase the leftist vote by allowing felons to vote before they have completed their sentences.

There was a crock of crap about how that somehow aids in the rehabilitation process, as if someone knocking over a 7-11 gives a rat's ass about their voting rights, but in the end, it's all about making it easier on HIM.

Search this blog under "Reed" and a large number of posts detailing his incompetence will pop up.

This lowlife moron had EIGHT YEARS to get a system in place to keep track of felon voters, and did not one damned thing to make that happen.

Well, except to SEND over 20,000 felon voters VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS before the last election in 2008.

He damned sure did THAT.

And now this scumbag is down here shilling yet another of his whiny little "I'm working too hard" proposals: No votes counted after Election Day.

That this clown doesn't understand that people deserve the right to make sure their vote counts FAR more than they deserve some esoteric, not necessary right to know who won on election night (and where the hell does it say THAT in the Constitution?) is the thing.

As moronically clueless now as he has been throughout his despicable tenure, Reed seems to think that making it easier on Reed trumps making every conceivable effort to get every legal vote counted, even if that is days after the official election date, as long as it takes place before the elections are certified.

So, in Reed's twisted world, if the Post Office screws up and mishandles your vote, well, that's just too damned bad.

One has to wonder what this empty suit would think if it was HIS vote that got trashed because someone ELSE screwed up. Would that be OK with you, Mr. Secretary?

Reed babbled:

But Reed, a Republican, said that every time he introduces legislation to move up the state's deadline for ballot returns, he runs into a brick wall.

Each time, "It's virtually DOA," he said. "Incumbents seem to think (the current system) works fine.

Maybe, that's because it DOES work fine, you blithering idiot!

No one else listens to Reed, so his nonsense about "regional primaries" is just as dead as his politics.

Reed needs to start focusing on the issues that really matter: proving eligibility to vote, proving identity to vote, completing your sentence to vote... and stop worrying about finding ways to keep those whose votes SHOULD count from actually doing so. Because, frankly, you clueless moron, if the job's too damned tough, then resign and let somebody else handle it.

Meanwhile, stop sniveling, you wretch. It just reminds me why I will never support your election to anything, ever.

Jeers to the morons at the Columbian for slamming the voters of Clark County over R71

.
In what seems like one of the usual, and therefore, pathetic, efforts by John Laird in his babbling editorial; that scumbag again takes the opportunity to slam the majority of people in the region his despicable rag of a paper serves who were wise enough to oppose the institutional discrimination in R 71.

That it passed statewide might mean something to Laird and his boyfriend, but to the rest of us, it once again means that King County runs the entirety of the state with it's useful tools like Laird who front for their fellow fringe-leftists every chance they get.

Yes, in the end, those who had a clue simply couldn't overcome the leftist idiocy that runs this state. We had no difficulty, however, overcoming the rank hypocrisy and stupidity of morons like Laird here, locally. That was done with ease, and yet that scumbag couldn't help but insult those of us smart enough to just say "no" to yet another incremental step of mainstreaming a behavior as if it were on the same level as race, gender, or any other actual minority trait.

Here's the moronic quote of the day:

Jeers: To critics of last month's Referendum 71 who insisted that expanding benefits to domestic partners would trigger all kinds of social upheaval. Fortunately, R-71 was approved by 53 percent of voters statewide (Clark County voters rejected the measure by 54 percent), and guess what happened on Thursday? Virtually unnoticed, Senate Bill 5688 (which was affirmed by R-71) quietly took effect and as best we can tell, the world did not end and the institution of marriage seemed to be surviving quite well.

We should've known that no crisis would have erupted on Thursday because, since R-71 passed on Nov. 3, the number of domestic partnerships has seen a rapid increase with no apparent impact on anyone's health or well-being. About 90 same-sex couples and opposite-sex senior couples have been registering each week since the election, about double the pre-election rate. More than 13,000 domestic partnerships now exist in the state, and we're still waiting for the catastrophic impacts predicted by the alarmists.

As Laird is such an obviously lying lowlife, (Because, of course, NO ONE predicted a "crisis would erupt on Thursday") that's what lends itself to my belief that it was that scummy little worm who attacked us with his cowardly keyboard.

Like the loss of our freedoms, social engineering doesn't take place over night like this blithering idiot infers. The steps are incremental. Allowing "opposite-sex senior couples" to registers as anything is as blatant a form of discrimination as anything that asswipe ever whined about. But his utterly rank hypocrisy keeps him from saying anything about THAT.

So, we mark this up as yet another blow against this steaming pile of crap's legitimacy as any force in our community.

Let me re-iterate: I will never buy this disgusting pile of dung.... EVER... as long as that scumbag is employed there.

Yes, the people of this state have spoken. This is their will, for now, and because the tyranny of the majority has once again been visited upon the minority, we have to live with that.

But those of us wise enough to see the crass discrimination and bribery needed to pass this pile of crap at the polls do not need the judgement of cretins like Laird as a result.

To quote some comedian babbling about Rush, "I hope HIS kidneys fail." And soon.

So.... what do leftists David Letterman and Max Baucus (D Senator from Montana) have in common?

.
Why, they both screwed their staff.

Except Baucus, as a token of his appreciation, nominated HIS girlfriend, a staffer also his State Director, as US Attorney for his home state, Montana. That they live together in DC, and did so before Baucus was divorced from his LAST wife, is purely coincidental.

Seems like he wants to do to his state what he's doing to her.

And of course their inter-sheet combat had nothing to do with it, right?

Roll Call said Hanes, who also is divorced, now lives with Baucus in the Eastern Market neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

Matsdorf said Baucus' relationship with his girlfriend had nothing to do with his decision to nominate her.

Right. And I'm the Queen of Sheba. Clearly, her skills go beyond those of the mere legal.

"Senator Baucus recommended each of the three candidates based solely on qualifications, and merit, knowing whichever one the White House selected would
serve Montana well," Matsdorf said.

The spokesman said Baucus and Hanes decided during the nomination process that she should withdraw her name because the couple wanted to live together in Washington.

Matsdorf declined to say why the senator was just now disclosing the circumstances surrounding the nomination.

Baucus and his ex-wife Wanda announced last April that they planned to divorce after 25 years of marriage, his second. In a joint statement, they said they had "parted ways amicably and with mutual respect." Baucus previously was married to Ann Geracimos before marrying Wanda Baucus.

Main Justice, the Web site that broke the story, had this comment from Hanes' ex-husband, Thomas Bennett of Billings: "She was recommended for the position because of a very close and personal relationship with Max Baucus, and she withdrew because of a very close and personal relationship with Max Baucus."

Roll Call said Hanes worked as the regional finance director for Baucus' 2002 re-election campaign. From 2003 to 2005, she served as field director and counsel to his office. Hanes was Baucus' state director and counsel from 2005 until this spring.

The newspaper said Hanes previously was a deputy county attorney in Yellowstone County and mainly prosecuted felony sexual assault and child abuse cases.

"Mel is supremely qualified and she got to her current position based solely on her merit," Matsdorf said.

So, why is it OK for Baucus to boinc someone on his staff, and then do this as a result of her "supreme qualifications?"

And more importantly, whatever is the leftist Caucus going to do about Baucus?

Nothing.

As Letterman has proven, it's perfectly OK to screw the staff and act like a lowlife scumbag, with no fear of retaliation.

And, by the way? I believe that ANY politician acting this way should get nailed, REGARDLESS of Party. Ensign should have been kicked out and Vitter with him.

SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, has to hold these scum accountable.

There's Something REALLY wrong with this: WWII veteran, homeowners group at odds over flagpole

.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty on 23 May 1944, near Carano, Italy. With his platoon heavily engaged during an assault against forces well entrenched on commanding ground, 2d Lt. Barfoot (then Tech. Sgt.) moved off alone upon the enemy left flank. He crawled to the proximity of 1 machinegun nest and made a direct hit on it with a hand grenade, killing 2 and wounding 3 Germans. He continued along the German defense line to another machinegun emplacement, and with his tommygun killed 2 and captured 3 soldiers. Members of another enemy machinegun crew then abandoned their position and gave themselves up to Sgt. Barfoot. Leaving the prisoners for his support squad to pick up, he proceeded to mop up positions in the immediate area, capturing more prisoners and bringing his total count to 17. Later that day, after he had reorganized his men and consolidated the newly captured ground, the enemy launched a fierce armored counterattack directly at his platoon positions. Securing a bazooka, Sgt. Barfoot took up an exposed position directly in front of 3 advancing Mark VI tanks. From a distance of 75 yards his first shot destroyed the track of the leading tank, effectively disabling it, while the other 2 changed direction toward the flank. As the crew of the disabled tank dismounted, Sgt. Barfoot killed 3 of them with his tommygun. He continued onward into enemy terrain and destroyed a recently abandoned German fieldpiece with a demolition charge placed in the breech. While returning to his platoon position, Sgt. Barfoot, though greatly fatigued by his herculean efforts, assisted 2 of his seriously wounded men 1,700 yards to a position of safety. Sgt. Barfoot's extraordinary heroism, demonstration of magnificent valor, and aggressive determination in the face of pointblank fire are a perpetual inspiration to his fellow soldiers.[7]

There are a group of out and out scum known as the Homeowners Association of Sussex Square, Henrico County, VA. These miscreants have "ordered" COL Barfoot to remove the flagpole from his yard from which he flies the flag he fought under, bled under, and killed for.

An actual picture of the offensive and not aesthetically pleasing flag and pole.

These scum have problems with it because the flag pole and its flag aren't "aesthetically pleasing."
Although I am not located within 3000 miles of this pack of jackals, my outrage should reach that far, and a copy of this post is getting emailed as soon as I can scrounge up an email address that goes directly to their nest of vipers.

This is a short post, because I simply cannot find words adequate to the task. The idea that a bunch of sniveling scum who enjoy the life that people like COL Barfoot have enabled them to enjoy would tell THIS man that HE CANNOT HAVE A FLAG POLE AND FLAG IN HIS OWN YARD???????

Despicable doesn't begin to cover it.

Huge HT to Smash Mouth Politics, who investigated this sorry episode and took the picture of the offending flag pole and flag.
