Wednesday Right-Wing Seething Open Comments

I thought with all the discussion about putting “gunsights” on Congressional Representatives, I’d post the actual map that allegedly drove Jared Loughner crazy enough to commit murder.

I do this as a public service and because I know you people are stable enough (well, most of you) not to go on an instant killing spree.

    Maybe I can do some kind of spitball thing. Would that count? Or maybe I could just use the word “target” and that will scare them to death?

    Can you say hypocrite?
    Dem Congressman who called for GOP Gov. to be put against a wall and shot now pleads for civility

    “That Scott down there that’s running for governor of Florida,” Mr. Kanjorski said. “Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him. He stole billions of dollars from the United States government and he’s running for governor of Florida. He’s a millionaire and a billionaire. He’s no hero. He’s a damn crook. It’s just we don’t prosecute big crooks.”

    That pretty much sums things up for me, journalism is now commissioned with leadership, not reporting of the facts.

    Congressional Reform Act of 2011
    Preface:
    The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971…before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.

    Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land…all because of public pressure.

    Propasal:
    1. Term Limits. 12 years only, one of the possible options below.
    A. Two Six-year Senate terms
    B. Six Two-year House terms
    C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms

    2. No Tenure / No Pension.
    A. Congress collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

    3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
    A. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.

    4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

    5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

    6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

    7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

    8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.

    Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
    THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.

    I’ve long been an advocate for #7 – Congress abides by all laws that they pass, and neither they, their families, their friends, nor business associates will be allowed any exemptions.

    That one thing takes care of your #s 3,4,6, and 8.

    I am firmly in favor of all, except I’m waffling on term limits. I’m on the fence on that one, but I’m leaning towards the limitations side. There are a few good ones that I wouldn’t mind having in office longer than those terms, but who’s to say there’s not other good ones waiting for a chance?

    BTW – You need to add that former office holders should not be allowed to work for any lobbying firms or the ilk.

    Conservative Tea Party Activists from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas say they will picket the funeral of Christina Greene, the 9-year-old girl who was murdered in cold blood during the Tea Party sponsored assassination rampage in Tucson, Arizona last weekend. In a statement released to the press yesterday, activists for the Westboro Tea Party movement said, “You put that child (and all of your children) in the crosshairs of a raging mad God when you raised her in the Catholic Pedophile Monster: priests rape children! You Catholic perverts pay the salaries of pedophile rapists worldwide. You taught her that humans are able to circumvent God´s commandments. He says, ´No Divorce´ while you say, ´We´ll just call it an annulment.´ God hates Catholics.”

    The bad news: My mom, who has been in the hospital since the 4th, was moved to ICU a couple of days ago. Laptop use is not permitted there.

    The good news: My brother finally came down to help out, is with her now, and bought a $60 bottle of highland single malt that we’ve been working on at night.

    The best news: The ICU nurses are smokin hot!

    #27 Thanks SuperD, I appreciate all thoughts and prayers and know that she would too. She’s likely to turn a corner in the next few days, hopefully in the direction of a re-hab hospital, followed by a permanent move to an assisted care facility near our home. My adopted lil sister Sarah knows a lot about them, and helped us find one that was well suited to her needs.

    Over 40 years ago, when my brother and I were but single digits of age, my mom began reading The Hobbit to us. A few decades later, I started reading it to my then young daughters.

    Tuesday morning, I started reading it aloud yet again. We’re now up to chapter 3. It seems we’ve come full circle.

    Looks like that “internet magazine” is part of a collection of similar “magazines” on websites owned/operated by an outfit called “Ultio LLC”. Ultio (the word) means essentially “revenge” or vengeance.

    These sites look like a collection of news wire reprints and thinly-disguised opinion masquerading as original reporting. The author of the piece you pointed to lists “losangeleschronicloe.com” as his website. His “facebook page” link points to “californiachronicle.com”. Both these sites are in the Ultio family.

    I doubt they get much in the way of readership outside the reality-based loon/kook community. How did you find them???

    Maybe I’ve been approaching mid-life dating from the wrong angle.

    A survey says women in their 40s are more likely to have sex on a first date than women in their 20s. Adult women, always having intercourse! They’re “naughty” and “easy,” according to the New York Post.

    But then, I think not. I’m an old fashioned guy. I never put out on the first date.

    We’ve found the REAL culprit.

    Online gaming.

    Gaming appears to have been an important part of Mr. Loughner’s life. In the 7th grade, he and a friend, Alex Montanaro, began playing the multiplayer online games Starcraft and Diablo, which featured complex virtual worlds where players assume roles and play against other people around the globe, Mr. Montanaro said in emails over the weekend and Monday.

    Around the 9th grade, recalls Mr. Montanaro, Mr. Loughner abandoned the old games and started playing Earth: 2025, now called Earth Empires, a text-based game in which players assume the form of a country and develop its economy. Players form clans and battle other clans.

    The game includes social networks built around the clan alliances—private online forums in which players conversed. In those forums at that time, Mr. Loughner often spouted conspiracy theories and got into heated debates with others, according to a forum participant who has been reading Mr. Loughner’s posts for years. Mr. Loughner originally played under the pseudonyms Cries and Cry. At various times he also used the aliases Heroin, XTC and Erad, according to two people familiar with the matter, and played for various clans.

    This is chilling. Do you know how many people are currently playing “World of Warcraft” I mean, just look at that word in the title.

    Apparently, in addition to the fact that online gaming creates seething anger in the unhinged which pushes them over the edge resulting in murderous rampages, it has a benefit of giving the afflicted the benefit of prescience:

    On Tuesday, after a search of the Loughners’ home, federal investigators found a letter from Rep. Giffords’s office in which Mr. Loughner had scribbled the words “Die Cops” and “Die Bitch,” said Capt. Chris Nanos of the Pima County Sheriff’s Department. Capt. Nanos, who was briefed on the findings, said Mr. Loughner had also referenced an assassination in handwritten notes on the letter.

    The letter, dated 2007, was a form document sent by the staff of Rep. Giffords to thank Mr. Loughner for attending one of her events.

    See? He was able to see in 2007 that Sara Palin would be issuing her siren call for him to kill Democrats in 2011.

    Congress wants to pass a law to prohibit anyone from carrying a gun coming within 1000′ of one of their members. I’d go for that provided that it specifically prohibits a member of Congress or any of their agents from coming within 1000′ of anyone possessing a gun or any other gun owned by an individual. Turnabout would be OK wouldn’t it?

    Better:

    Since we can’t be sure that the stupidity is bong induced, what say we substitute “blockheaded” or “brainless”? The acronym stays the same, but it is more universal in its application: “Ignoramus of Brainless/Blockheaded Cosmic Magnitude”.

    Good afternoon all. Seems I ended last night’s comments and started today’s on the same thread. Where were you all early this morning? Sleepyheads or just too cold to move very fast?

    We’ve arrived at 41 after a low of 25 for quite a while this morning and who knows how long last night. Have not checked the faucets in the barn since the thaw took place to see if anything broke. Note to post on the fridge–turn off the water to the barn tonight and close the barn windows.

    Glad the winter wardrobe gets some use. Just not all at once. Layers work well.

    Congresswoman Giffords continues to improve. Yea. The road to recovery is long, but she has a good start. May it continue to be successful. Good wishes and prayers extend to all who were wounded in this vicious attack. And who sadly lost loved ones

    After a shooting by a nutjob kook, Obama calls half the City of Tucson.

    One of the calls went out to Sheriff Dipstik, whose Dept. passed him on the background check for a gun despite his troubled past.

    In a phone call this afternoon with Sheriff Dupnik, according to White House spokesman Nicholas Shapiro, the President “thanked him for his department’s efforts to respond to this incident and coordinate with the FBI and Director Mueller on the investigation.”

    Why won’t he call the parents of our military men & women who were killed in the line of duty?

    Next time they try this, I hope they can give a little warning so I can get a lawn chair and some popcorn.

    One battler is so vigorously throwing haymakers that her dress slides up her torso to reveal the woman’s thong-adorned rear. Another combatant, who did not fare as well, had her dress nearly ripped off during the confrontation. At the fight’s conclusion, the RaceTrac’s parking lot is dotted with wigs and hair extensions torn off during the fight.

    Re Che-wa-was, there is something even more silly. A Chiweenie. This is a cross between a Dachshund and a Che-wa-wa, and apparently done on purpose. The wife’s niece marketed her MRS degree well and lives in a chi-chi condo in Memorial on the bayou. Run of the mill mutts are not good enough for this crowd so they have designer dogs. She brought the critter over for Christmas. Carries the thing everywhere. I told her I’ve caught fish bigger than this. We have two real dogs and had to lock them up. They’d likely have mistaken it for their favorite self propelled chew toy. Squirrel.

    Next week, the military industrial complex will celebrate its 50th birthday.

    What should we get it? Should we bake it a cake or something? Maybe not. It already consumes more taxpayer dollars than any other spending category in the federal budget, and that does not include the billions in “emergency” spending authorizations that fund what every proponent admitted was to be multiple decades of “war.”

    On January 17, 1961, President Dwight David Eisenhower delivered one of the most famous speeches of his storied career. In a televised farewell address to the American people, Eisenhower warned of the burdens imposed by a large, and seemingly permanent, military establishment, something that the nation had managed to avoid for most of its history. He charged his countrymen to be on guard against a “military-industrial complex” acquiring “unwarranted influence” in the halls of power.

    Eisenhower called on “an alert and knowledgeable citizenry” to balance the need for effective defense against the nation’s “peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.” For decades, policy analysts have suggested ways to restrain the military-industrial complex, and to limit its effect on civil–military relations, the economy, and our political system.

    Do not trust self-interested quote miners. Read Eisenhower’s farewell address in its entirety. That which he warned us of just fifty years ago has become our reality, and that of our children, and their children to be. We can not rely on our political system.

    Maybe I’ve been approaching mid-life dating from the wrong angle.

    A survey says women in their 40s are more likely to have sex on a first date than women in their 20s. Adult women, always having intercourse! They’re “naughty” and “easy,” according to the New York Post.

    That’s long been known. From a poem of the 50’s:
    I like women over 40;
    They don’t yell,
    They don’t tell,
    They don’t swell’
    And they’re grateful as hell.

    Dam Tea Party seethers strike again.

    SEATTLE—A California man was arrested Wednesday on a charge that he made threatening, obscene phone calls to the office of U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott last month, weeks before a gunman shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others in Arizona.

    An FBI complaint unsealed in federal court said Charles Turner Habermann, 32, of Palm Springs, called the Seattle Democrat’s office late Dec. 9 and early Dec. 10 and left two messages, each about four minutes long, after seeing him on television.

    He began each with his name and phone number, and went on to threaten to kill the congressman—as well as his friends and family—over his opposition to extending tax cuts for the wealthy, according to transcripts recited in the complaint.

    From your link:

    The FBI said agents visited Habermann on Dec. 10, and he admitted leaving the messages and identified himself as the caller when he listened to a recording of the calls. He said he’d been drinking when he made the calls, but was not so drunk that he wouldn’t have driven his car, the agents reported.

    Habermann also told them that he never intended to hurt anyone, and that he would never do anything to jeopardize his $3 million trust fund, Special Agent Dean Giboney wrote in the complaint.

    OK,………I’ll NOT say anything, BUTT,….did anyone think something was very strange about the memorial??? FWIW; I can’t say what I think because I DO NOT KNOW if anyone was truly sincere. DANG

    I was cleaned up and cleaned out on my properties by 2 this afternoon. I was completely prepared for snow warfare this time.

    We do have, with the recent snows of the last 2 weeks, a solid 40″ packed blanket of snow throughout the region. The parking lots of stores and malls are running out of places to put it. They take the plowed snow and use big front end loaders to pile it up. Some of the piles are 12 to 14′ high and 200 or 300′ feet long.

    Texpat, Well at least you were ready for it. Dang, what about the sides of the streets/roads do they just bury everything from the side walks on? FWIW; I have a good friend at work that grew in Medina Ohio, just south of Cleveland and on the edge of the Great Lakes Snow Belt that just kills Buffalo and he said that back in the day the biggest problem that they had was that the crap didn’t thaw out until March.

    It can become a huge problem. In Manhattan, they start taking fleets of big Case front-end loaders and piling it into dump trucks which run down to the dock areas and dump it into the Hudson, Harlem or East Rivers day and night. It gets to be a really big headache for areas that don’t have rivers or oceans to put it in.

    In NYC, they’ve started using these units called snow melters that look like big bulk, aggregate loading hoppers like you would see at the Port of Houston. They are fired by skid-mounted propane tank/burners and sit over extra large manholes. They pile the snow from the area around it and front-end load the giant hopper with snow, flash melt it and funnel it into the storm drains.

    Well, I hear by the grapevine that the House Republicans have folded their tent and no longer intend on pursuing repeal of Obamacare this year. Now does anyone really believe that we need to defer our national agenda to the actions of some nutcase; or does this just further support my theory that this is an orchestrated stunt by the Dems in response to the election results in November; or does it just reflect the Dems and Reps together who were looking for an excuse not to debate the issue anyway.

    Remain vigilant. They are coming after more of our freedoms as fast as they can.

    Just got back from teaching my class. I got there a little early to make copies, and was told by a fellow catechist that he caught Miss Bag-of-Chips and her boyfriend making out.
    In a small parlor room.
    Behind a door.
    With no lights on.

    Miss BOC and Friend insisted they were “just talking” and not doing anything wrong. Both of them became angry, but Miss BOC was excessively so. She doesn’t like it when she doesn’t get her way. When I reminded them that there were not to sit together, Friend moved to the next table. When I reminded them that they were to sit at least TWO tables apart, Miss BOC moved to a table where she could sit on the end and still see Friend and “talk” to him. I tried to keep her focused on me at the front of the room, but it was difficult. She got up to go to the restroom during class, and I saw my helper go out after she returned. He later went and sat behind Friend.

    At checkout, I informed both parents that they were caught together, in a dark room, and that I could not say what they were doing. Both parents were ticked off, but I know that Miss BOC’s mom won’t do anything to her. Missy slammed her classroom text book down on a table when she heard me telling her mother what happened, and she stormed out into the hallway.

    Interesting class.

    It is unfortunate that the tragedy in Tucson continues to stimulate a political blame game. Rather than step back and reflect on the lessons to be learned from this tragedy, both parties have reverted to political partisanship and finger-pointing at a time when the American people are looking for leadership, not more vitriol.

    Huh? Here I thought the Anti-Defamation League would be against defamation. 🙁

    Also I personally think “blood libel” was a rockin’ cool term Sarah Palin used.

    Aha, I very briefly looked at the Tucson memorial service and turned it off. Thanks to you folks who managed to watch at least some of it and reported, I’m glad I gave up when I did. The premonition that it would be Wellstone redux got stronger as the hour approached. It obviously was seen as just too good a captive audience to waste.

    Wonder how the bereaved families felt about it. God bless them and comfort them in their sorrow.

    Pray tell when did it become acceptable to vigorously applaud commentary at a memorial service? In answer to my own question–the Wellstone memorial. And ya know what that ghastly performance resulted in…..

    Joe Zamundio: Sir when I came through the doors I had my hand on the butt of my pistol and I clicked safety off and I was ready to killhim. But I didn’t have to do that, I was very blessed that I didn’t have to go to that place. (sic) [If] they hadn’t grabbed him and he was still moving I would have shot him. I would have shot the man holding the gun.

    Ed Schultz: [Apparently a little taken back] You would have used that fire arm?

    Joe Zamurio: [Without a moments hesitation] You damn right. This is my country, this is my town. you don’t get to walk around hurting peple.

    Good morning all. “Twas 34 last night at 10:45 and 34 still at 6 this morning. Clouds saved another hard freeze down here on the north bank of the Brazos at Richmond. Still cloudy and looking like a snow sky, a few small breaks in the clouds to the east.

    Major discovery folks, the Chronicle features crosshairs. 😉 Check out the left margins on the pages and you will find crosshairs top and bottom.

    Good Morning fellow Hamsteronianites. Yesterday morning in Copperfield the water left in trays for my potted plants was NOT frozen, this am, the same. Is it possible that the weather prognosticators have engaged in a little sensationalism regarding the severity of the cold front? Don’t get me wrong, it is still too darned cold to run around outside in the birthday suit, but pipe breaking cold, I don’t think so.
