“I wonder how the right wing in America feels about being aligned with al-Qaeda?” Frank said to Buzzfeed, adding that “there is an irony that the most active anti-gay [groups] are al-Qaeda and the American right-wing.”

CR Notes:

Indeed? al-Qaeda is an Islamic extremist group predicated on Leftist totalitarian control and constantly defended by Left-Wing groups such as the Democrat Party, the Liberal media, and of course, the President.

That is the true irony, and where might Barney the pervert dinosaur fit into all of that, is the actual question at play.

The latest issue of Al-Qaeda’s Inspire magazine spotlights “Barney Frank, Gay Congressman, Symbol of the American Dream” to argue that the United States is “a nation standing on no values.”

"It sounded like what the Tea Party said when I got married,” Frank replied.

CR Notes:

Thou do'st protest to much, quite frankly, Mr. Frank.

Neither I, nor many of my erstwhile bretheren have even thought about you or your churlish singular wit since you got run out of your congressional district. I know that's painful, but we've all been dealing with the banking meltdown that you helped cause.

Plus, we can't all run lucrative male prostitution rings out of our garages, you know. I mean, where we would park our pick-up trucks?

But, remember what you said in early 2008, as the head of the congressional banking committee? "Fannie May and Freddie Mac are healthy, nothing to worry about," right.....we saw what that got us.....double-pinhead

Frank’s comments come about a week after an NPR analyst suggested that “anti-government, right-wing” terrorists attacked the Boston Marathon.

Interesting that in the midst of El Magnifico's 2nd "executive Order" term, President Obama is urging students to "reject" anyone that warns of government tyranny, especially after the force-passed 20,000 Page regulatory Obamacare debacle that continues to unfold.

But what do other, perhaps,  greater Presidents say about government tyranny?

Glad you asked:

When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty~Thomas Jefferson

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master~George Washington

Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people~John Adams

Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties~Abraham Lincoln

And then we have Barack Obama, who says:

They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner, you should reject these voices~Barack Obama

Indeed.

Below is the full text:

OBAMA: Unfortunately, you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted.

We have never been a people who place all our faith in government to solve our problems. We shouldn't want to. But we don't think the government is the source of all our problems, either. Because we understand that this democracy is ours. And as citizens, we understand that it's not about what America can do for us, it's about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but absolutely necessary work of self-government. And class of 2013, you have to be involved in that process.

Any questions?

Nevermind the fact that the commercial is beyond moronic in its approach to enticing someone, nay, anyone to buy their product. But, why such a racist ad from the Mountain Dew owning Pepsico folks?

Indeed, when it comes to the Democrats' closeted contempt for race, this racist inspired commercial should not surprise anyone. However, with Pepsico, the broader agenda has always been the LGBT cause of omnisexualism--anything goes and then some--which is reflected by their overall stance of promoting such causes behind the scenes.

This extreme LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transexual) slant is also a thing which a large number of black and socially conservative Democrats simply cannot abide.

Indeed, the old adage continually holds true that the Left seems to see nothing but color when peering at an individual and then, more often than not, contempt at that particular groups mind-numbed compliance to the status-quo.

Below are a few Pepsico facts from Conservapedia:

" Pepsico is a highly visible supporter of the gay community. ^[1]

• Pepsi sponsors the 2009 New York City gay pride parade as well as in Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix and Cleveland.
• Pepsi gave a total of $1,000,000 to promote the homosexual lifestyle in the workplace.
• Pepsi requires employees to attend sexual orientation and gender diversity training.
• Pepsi is a member of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.
• Pepsi gave $2.3 million to defeat Proposition 8.

Out and Equal Workplace

PepsiCo is not only committed to promoting homosexuality within their company, they are compelled to spread this lifestyle to other companies. When they mention strong sponsor they actually mean strong-arm tactics. Per AMA,

“

In the October 2009 Out and Equal Workplace conference, PepsiCo's vice-president and CIO led the "Use 'em or lose 'em" seminar to teach employees in the art of "leveraging strong sponsor or leader relationships" within companies to embrace homosexuality.

”

PepsiCo served as judge for the "Outie Awards," a big thank you banquet for those employees that advance homosexual causes in the workplace.

An iPhone Pepsi application promised to help men "score" with two dozen stereotypes of women by giving users pickup lines and a scoreboard to keep track of their conquests. The free application has branded the company sexist and they have refused to remove from the iPhone store where it is still available for download. ^[2] PepsiCo claims they are not sexist because they have a woman CEO. "PepsiCo as a company has a culture that's respectful of women. It's attempting to be edgy and humorous with this app and nothing more."

After a week of complaints, Pepsi has decided to remove its' offensive iPhone app that degraded women. ^[3]

Oh, and lets not forget the brazen 2008 attempt of Pepsico to ride the Obama campaign's logo coattails:

So, the next time you take a sip of your Pepsi, don't forget what they're corporate cause actually is.

Was Bloomberg Refused Second Slice of Pizza at Local Restaurant?

Conservative Refocus

No, but everyone wishes it were true.

The satirical article goes like this:

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was denied a second slice of pizza today at an Italian eatery in Brooklyn.

The owners of Collegno's Pizzeria say they refused to serve him more than one piece to protest Bloomberg's proposed soda ban,which would limit the portions of soda sold in the city.

Bloomberg was having an informal working lunch with city comptroller John Liu at the time and was enraged by the embarrassing prohibition. The owners would not relent, however, and the pair were forced to decamp to another restaurant to finish their meal.

Witnesses say the situation unfolded when as the two were looking over budget documents, they realized they needed more food than originally ordered.

"Hey, could I get another pepperoni over here?" Bloomberg asked owner Antonio Benito.

Peals of laughter from my side, even though the article was not really true.

It goes on:

"OK, that's funny," he remarked, "because of the soda thing ... No come on. I'm not kidding. I haven't eaten all morning, just send over another pepperoni."

"I'm sorry sir. We're serious," Benito insisted. "We've decided that eating more than one piece isn't healthy for you, and so we're forbidding you from doing it."

"Look jackass," Bloomberg retorted, his anger boiling, "I fucking skipped breakfast this morning just so I could eat four slices of your pizza. Don't be a schmuck, just get back to the kitchen and bring out some fucking pizza, okay."

"I'm sorry sir, there's nothing I can do," the owner repeated. "Maybe you could go to several restaurants and get one slice at each. At least that way you're walking. You know, burning calories."

Witnesses say a fuming Bloomberg and a bemused Liu did indeed walk down the street to a rival pizzeria , ordered another slice and finished their meeting.

Great satire , however, according to Wikipedia:

The Daily Currant is an American satirical news blog that focuses on politics, technology, and entertainment.^[1] A number of its satirical stories have been taken for true news reports by press and members of the public.^[2]

The Daily Currant is a competitor to The Onion. According to Quantcast, the site garners over 1.5 million page views a month.^[3]

So, no one can blame you for thinking this was truthful, but, unfortunately, it wasn't.

Sorry folks, maybe next time.

I can never quite figure out, personally, how it is that the Left will move heaven and earth to eradicate guns due to the Newtown incident, while parading children all about on the stage to touch peoples hearts, on the subject of keeping children safe.

When 20 children were killed, supposedly, by a mentally retarded boy with firearms.

While simultaneously telling us that the murder of a child at its most vulnerable while in the womb, is a private right and they, the political Left, will fight to the death to preserve that right of barbaric sacrifice within the womb, at any cost.

When over 1.2 million children are killed, annually, by a licensed physician and at their celebrated behest.

Then they tell us that we're backwards....

Since when did Congress begin administering joint resolutional labotomies? Imagine a world without balloons, Liberal Democrat Hank Johnson says. Perchance, imagine a world without elected buffoons, we respond.

He was talking about the federal helium reserve management and it's apparent funding...yeah, we have one of those departments and we probably spend millions on it.

But do we also have a federal elected moron management department? If so, heads should be rolling, and soon. However that action would have to be run through the federal head-rolling reserve department for approval, no doubt.

One glance and any quick listen to Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson, and despite the bedlam lying all around us, you actually begin to feel lucky in ruminating over the fact that despite this type of vacuous leadership, America has still managed to somehow stay afloat.

Now, for those who think the Congressman was just kidding, due to the ultra-high levels of dumb and even dumber, there's this:

The Admiral in this clip should get an award for his unparalleled ability at not falling over in insane, body convulsive, laughter when confronted with unashamed hyper-stupidity. If this guy were a Republican, he would have been long gone or worse.

Maybe it's simply Hank's congressional district:

Stone Mountain.

That would explain much.....

Watching one-time funny man Jim Carrey's career implode is one thing, but watching him make fun of a man who died in 2008, while simultaneously making fun of a thing that most Americans hold dear, is quite another.

Carrey despises guns, at least those which are not in the hands of either his adopted country's officials, (Carrey was born a Canadian) or his high-priced security detail. However, even 5 years after Heston's death, many remember Charlton Heston's "cold dead hands" pledge to this day, and for good reason. Heston was a powerful advocate for the rights of Americans, to include freedom to bear arms, in his day.

Carrey's disrespect of the dead, in severely spoofing Charlton Heston, while actually making fun of Heston's manhood in song, shows a remarkable lack of both wisdom, depth, and lets not even mention couth.

Cold, Dead, Career?

Also not to mention the fact that Carrey's recent movie appears to be tanking dismally at the box office. Maybe Carrey is simply trying to garner attention by the cheapest means possible.

In addition, however, Carrey also makes fun of southern and midwestern culture by spoofing Hee Haw, which was a highly successful entertainment show for middle America, while also being a ratings bonanza in its day.

I watched it every Friday night, almost, while growing up, or was it Saturday nights? But anyone that watched ever-humble Hee Haw, knows that spoofing a show that constantly spoofed itself, doesn't really work very well, a thing Carrey is completely oblivious about, apparently, but not surprisingly.

But, according to my background knowledge of Carrey, his family at one time, actually lived in a cardboard box, homeless in California when he was a boy. Carrey, in many ways, exemplifies American exceptionalism with his ride from living in a cardboard box to stardom, too bad he obviously misses that point as a flaming Liberal fanatic.

I sincerely hope, despite his spewing of hate for the dead and his disrespect for an opposing belief system grounded in the free market and the US Constitution, that he doesn't end up the same way he started.

But southern culture teaches us to never, ever, make light of the dead, it has a methodology of back-firing in ways that no one could ever fathom, not unlike a damaged firearm that back-fires.

Good luck to Jim Carrey, he may truly need it and probably sooner than later.... and RIP Mr. Heston.

Thanks for the highly valued visit but, seriously, what is a Neo-Con?

A Neo-Con is, strictly, a political label installed in reaction to what took place in the 60's, when a number of traditional Liberals fled the coop of the Democratic Party in disgust and became members of the Republican Party. It does not pass muster when simply applying it denigratingly to a Conservative who does not completely agree on all Libertarian issues.

A more accurate example of a modern-day Neo-Con would be a RINO; those who agree with John McCain, Lindsay Graham and numerous other Moderate Republicans are perfect examples of Neo-Conism.
