Susan Campbell Has P.D.S.

You know I keep running into this thing with you liberals suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome (PDS). You are all for women’s rights unless we are talking about a Republican woman (like the many that ran for office this year) and Sarah Palin most of all. How about showing the lady a little respect for once?

Liberals are such hypocrites. They have said and written the most the sexist, disrespectful things about Palin’s looks and supposed lack of intelligence (they said the same thing about Reagan as I recall) and so on. I mean just on and on and on. They would never let a Republican behave in such a brutish manner towards a Democrat woman.

Take what Susan Campbell at the Hartford Communist said on her blog.: If you like Palin’s brand of feminism than you are a man.

What is that supposed to mean? Well Campbell thinks she is being oh so very clever with her double entendre. Campbell was saying that Palin is not really a woman. On the other meaning, Yes Palin does indeed poll better with men than women but that is not surprising because all Republicans do. Campbell has nothing over Mae West in that department. I glanced over her link and it was just a long string of barely literate insults similar to Eaglehart’s incoherent rants. There must be a real case to be made against Palin. Why don't they?

And are we talking about real equality or just the moonbat things on the Femi-Nazi Agenda? You know because those are two very different things. Not everyone who supports equal rights also supports infanticide.

I think its safe to say Palin is all for women’s rights and not so much on the Loony Left’s Politics of Victimization for example. 'Boo hoo hoo. Somewhere there is a man who makes more money than me --- whaaaaahhhhhhhh'.

Tell it to someone who cares. Maybe all those men (and women) that get more money than you get more because they are better at your profession than you are? Do we want the government to try to make life fair in every instance? That’s not only un-doable, that’s stupid.

Palin for her part makes very good points, which the liberals seem unwilling to even try to refute. They just resort to more of the same sophomoric, lame brain bad manners that typify Palin Derangement Syndrome.

The New Face of The Enemy?

"Don’t like TSA measures? Don’t fly" exclaims Sunday's editorial in the Norwich Bulletin. It made some good points but there are points to be made on the other side too that went un-addressed. The editorial was unconvincing because it did not attempt to answer some of those key points. Where is the moderation that the Bulletin so often speaks so highly of? Its just says its Big Brother’s way or the highway....

---literally!

Is there no room for compromise or smarter, more effective procedures or better technology. Nope, none of that will work.

The editorial is wrong when it says "This isn’t about taking away freedoms. It is a matter of public safety". The truth of the matter is its about both.

We do have to stop every bomb before it gets on the plane and there also must be reasonable limits to the governments ability to poke its nose and shove its gloved hands where it doesn't belong particularly when the targets of the search are not a threat.

Lets face facts boys and girls: We know what a terrorist looks like. It is our biggest advantage but the PC Police won't let us press that advantage. Your run of the mill terrorist is male, from 18 to say 50, he is a foreigner and they are all Muslim. Some are African like the diaper bomber (not African-American but African) while the rest are Middle-Eastern.

He has an accent or may not speak English and sometimes has a criminal record. He might have bought a one way ticket with cash, be using a fake passport and he might look really nervous, or might try to set his shoe on fire.

We need to be on the lookout for THAT GUY!

Lets not pretend we have to worry about Aunt Bea shoving a bomb up a body cavity. Have we ever once caught an American-born, 75-year-old, Christian Caucasian woman trying to blow up an airplane in the name of Allah? I mean come on!

Nobody likes the idea of profiling and Lord knows some will feel unjustly singled out, but it is an idea which time has come. If the terrorists looked like middle-aged white guys than I would feel I was doing my part by answering a few reasonable questions.

It just seems to me that profiling is at least as reasonable as gawking at naked children and grabbing women's breasts and messing with the junk of American businessmen.

Israel profiles and it works. It’s time to get real.

No Glory in Selling Out Principals

This stupid, lazy, ditzy non-serious op-ed by Susan Campbell at the Hartford Communist really pissed me off for some reason.

I can take a difference of opinion but not the disrespect she shows the issues that are very serious. First of all I am sick and tired of the liberals "can't we all just get along" line. What Campbell really means by "Stop this useless bashing of one another" is 'stop bringing up good points that I don't have an answer to!'.

It is true as Campbell writes that there were some trivial things that got more attention than they should have (and the press played no small role in that so Campbell should giver herself some credit) but the fact that our new senator lied repeatedly, "When I came back from Vietnam", over his military service was not one of them. Blumenthal in fact never lefft Connecticut. I find it curious Campbell failed to mention Blumenthal's misdeed but then takes another gratuitous swipe at Christine O'Donnell and witchcraft. Maybe Campbell thinks that with Blumenthal being elected that means his lie just disappeared!

Not a chance.

Maybe the Courant's storm-troopers don't consider it any big deal but those of us who did serve and have lost buddies do think it is a big deal. Now don't get me wrong. I am not pulling a Blumenthal here. I served in the Navy durning peacetime (1986-1990) and I really only lost one friend. It was not combat but an accident that was completely his fault. I never the less keep thinking back to three or four things that I could have done to prevent the accident. P03 Kenny Lynch has been gone now about as many years as he was years old then. I will never add him as a friend on facebook like my other old friends. A lifetime has gone by since then that he will be forever cheated out of. I just find that sad and impossible to reconcile with the voter's choice last Tuesday.

My heart goes out to the REAL Vietnam Vets who did serve. I think about them all the time. I feel for those that did not come back like Kenny and those that did but were never the same again. No doubt haunted by the far worse things than I am troubled with. I see the men coming back without arms or legs and one with a third of his head blown away and I think what a shame it is for the like of Blumenthal to have been elected. Those men are heroes. Blumenthal is a scoundrel who tried to pass himself off as one of them. Where are people's values and standards?

How can we believe anything he tells us?

It is shameful that Blumenthal now represents us. Maybe this is the consequence of not removing Bill Clinton from office? Our standards that have been allowed to slip have slipped some more. Blumenthal should not have even been nominated by the Democrats. There was no need to necessarily to replace him with a Republican. They could have replaced him with another Democrat that had not disgraced him or herself.

No they thought they had better chances this lying dick so sold our war dead down the river.

Linda McMahon was meet with the disdain the Democrats and the media elites should have showed Blumenthal. In a bygone era they would have. You would think it was McMahon that lied about her military career the way they carried on. McMahon's only sin is that she is a Republican in a state that openly expresses its intolerance for us. I don't feel sorry for her, I feel sorry for the whole state.

-- The Democrats most of all.

The liberals in the press were a lot more bothered with Machon's ability to go around them than they were with Bluenthal's lack of character. They did not like it one bit that she didn't need Campbell and the other kingmakers in the press to get her message out.

He won anyway and now they can write the final chaper anyway they like. I hope they are happy. Now Blumenthal has vowed to use his new position to enact revenge and is going after WWE and their supposed steroid use. Finally we have senator that really knows what the voters need eh?!

The other election issue I am deeply concerned is the human garbage on Death Row. Those men have committed the worst crimes you can commit against our own. Our new high minded Governor-elect see they are spared the sentence that juries have handed down.

If only the liberals would save some of their venom they usually use on their fellow Americans running for office instead on the killers of children (8, 13 and 16) or cop-killers. This is not a good time to be a family member of a victim: 'Sorry Dr. Petit! Looks like the killers of your whole family will outlive you after all'.

The Cheshire home invaders not only killed and raped Dr. Petit's wife and two girls but they went so far as to chain one of the girls to her bed, soaked her with gasoline and burned her alive. And Democrats and the media characterize terrorists getting water dripped down their noses for needed intelligence as "torture", but tellingly don't do the same for sweet girl.

As goes Connecticut so goes the nation? Thankfully not. They have higher standards outside this state. Democrats got their dicks knocked in the dirt, losing the House by a huge sixty-something margin.

Connecticut is my home and I hate to see what it is becoming. I wonder if it is to late. My Dad built a thriving business here back in the 1980's but he told me you are crazy if you start a business here today. Connecticut used to be a good place to do business, but no longer.

My parents moved to Missouri to protect what was left of their nest egg and I never saw him again before he died.

The election that has passed maybe many things but inconsequential and trivial as Campbell seems to think it was, it was not. The unwise choices of Connecticut voters will have grave consequences. Jobs will hurry their pace out of here as spending and taxes reach new highs. The voters here buy the tired old tactic of class envy warfare every single time. It is the poor however that will pay the highest price. Those with money will pull out -- deinvest.

I really liked Florida while I was stationed there in the Navy. The people are nicer and It’s sunny all the time, and never snows and they don't elect lying dirtbags like Dick Blumenthal.

Killers get what they got coming there too.

They also don't have an income tax. Maybe that is where I will end up. There certainly isn't much to keep me here with most of my family having already left.

But the thing I would most like to see is our state to get up, dust herself off, clean her house of the likes of Blumenthal, and gets back to common sense principals ---instead of sinking into a pit of moral relativism, socialism and certain failure.
