Occupy Oakland Breaks Out in Riots

With nothing better to do in life, other than cause chaos, Occupy Oakland protesters decided to riot.

The sad part is, for many of these people, they actually believe what they are doing is cool, when in fact, it is truly lame.

Government Pays Al Gore Backed Company to Build Cars For the Wealthy

This story is unbelievable; I had to read it twice and really slow, just because I was so flabbergasted. The Obama administration has given half a billion, yes billion dollars, to a company called Fisker. They make electric cars for the very wealthy and of course these cars also use more fossil fuels than your average SUV or gas guzzler. Not only that but, the cars are being made in Finland. The company is behind on their production as well.

So, we have another failed government project, one that was obviously backed by the government because of Al Gore, cars that are inefficient but are being touted as clean energy, cars that are not suited for the average buyer but rather the top 1%, and jobs being given to people in Finland, not the United States. Wow.

According to ABC:

Fisker is part of a $1 billion bet the Energy Department has made in two politically connected California-based electric carmakers producing sporty — and pricey — cutting-edge autos. Fisker Automotive, backed by a powerhouse venture capital firm whose partners include former Vice President Al Gore, predicts it will eventually be churning out tens of thousands of electric sports sedans at the shuttered GM factory it bought in Delaware. And Tesla Motors, whose prime backers include PayPal mogul Elon Musk and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, says it will do the same in a massive facility tooling up in Silicon Valley.

Click title of this post for the article on The Blaze.

Forbes reports:

The Fisker Karma electric car, developed mainly with your tax money so that a bunch of rich VC’s wouldn’t have to risk any real money, has rolled out with an nominal EPA MPGe of 52.

Not bad? Unfortunately, it’s a sham. This figure is calculated using the grossly flawed EPA process that substantially underestimates the amount of fossil fuels required to power the electric car…

As I calculated in my earlier Forbes article, one needs to multiply the EPA MPGe by .365 to get a number that truly compares fossil fuel use of an electric car with a traditional gasoline engine car on an apples to apples basis. In the case of the Fisker Karma, we get a true MPGe of 19. This makes it worse than even the city rating of a Ford Explorer SUV.

Oh, boy.

Finally Some Sanity -- No You Can't Wear That Head Scarf!

Finally**** Yes, I originally spelled that in the title wrong. I knew it looked weird and for some reason, no squiggly, red line was found.

(Media credit: WTFV-T)

Demin Zawity, a high school freshman, was banned from participating in a ROTC march, the school's homecoming parade, because she refused to take off her head scarf.

“I was like, you’ve got to be kidding me. I wanted to just break down crying right there,” Zawity told Nashville’s WTVF-TV. “They‘re telling me I’m not allowed to march in the parade just because of a piece of cloth wrapped around my head. And to me it‘s not like it’s just a piece of cloth, to me, it’s like my symbol."

Yeah, a symbol of slavery and the oppression of women! Get that damn thing off your head now! In fact, I would like to see them go a step further and request she not wear that stupid thing at school, period. There is no reason to be wearing that scarf when you are in a free country! That scarf is a symbol of oppression and should be completely discouraged. It is time to make a stand and recognize that not all religions are equal, some are cults.

This has nothing to do with religion and if it's "just a piece of cloth" as she says, then she can just, "take it off." Furthermore, how would CAIR or other bleeding hearts feel if this were someone wearing a white hood? Would that be okay? All symbols, religious or not are not equal. Some represent violence and non-equality.

Moammar Gadhafi Dead

It finally happened, Gadhafi is dead.

Moammar Gadhafi, Libya's dictator for 42 years until he was ousted in an uprising-turned-civil war, was killed Thursday as revolutionary fighters overwhelmed his hometown of Sirte and captured the last major bastion of resistance two months after his regime fell.

The 69-year-old Gadhafi is the first leader to be killed in the Arab Spring wave of popular uprisings that swept the Middle East, demanding the end of autocratic rulers and the establishment of greater democracy.

Click title of this post for full story and pictures that I cannot copy here on my site.

After he was killed, his body was placed on top of a vehicle and paraded around for all to see and celebrate. From the article, there are a few different versions of how he died. It seems as though he did receive at least two gun shots, one to the head and another to the chest. He died from those wombs not long after.

Joe Biden Blames Republicans for Rape and Murder

“I didn’t use, no no no…Let’s get it straight, guy. Don’t screw around with me,” Biden lashed out at HUMAN EVENTS. Then Biden confirmed that he indeed did talk about rape in terms of the President’s spending measure. “Murder will continue to rise, rape will continue to rise, all crimes will continue to rise,” if the Democrats agenda isn’t passed, he added.

Huh? Why do they even let this guy talk? What on earth is he even talking about? This is another example of a whacked-out liberal politician, who is clearly dependent upon the ignorant percentage of the population, the ones who would actually accept a horrendous false dichotomy such as this.

Click title of this blog post for article.

Honestly, this story would be hilarious if it were not for the fact that he actually is the Vice President.

“It’s not temporary [administration’s proposed stimulus] when that 911 call comes in and a woman’s being raped, if a cop shows up in time to prevent the rape. It’s not temporary to that woman.”

First of all, if a woman calls the cops, she probably does not know that she is going to be raped, nor would she be making the call while being raped, and it is almost impossible to even suggest that a cop would be able to get to where she was before being raped to prevent the act from happening. Police are wonderful but, they rarely prevent crime. In fact, if they do intervene in anything, they are accused of making assumptions and labeled as dirty cops who are racist or some other nonsense. Police protect us but, usually they are called as a result of crime. If Biden was so concerned, he would encourage us to keep our money so that we can buy guns for protection from these rapist and murdering creeps. Bad analogy, Biden.

Rape Allegations -- Occupy Cleveland

In Cleveland, it is being reported that a 19-year old girl was raped during the Occupy Cleveland protests. She states that she was assigned a tent and was told to share a tent with a man who called himself Leland.

During an interview conducted, the movement is claiming they know of no such person, and they deny ever giving any tent assignments to anyone.

I'm not sure what to think of this. As a person who is disgusted with this movement it would be very easy for me to point and say what scum these people truly are. I will try and refrain from that until there is more information released, IF there is more information released about this rape.

It is also being reported that during the protests in Seattle a man was arrested for continually exposing himself to children. Also in Seattle a convicted criminal was caught carrying a firearm. I'm just not sure why we haven't heard the talking heads on the left going mad crazy about a guy with a gun but, I guess it is because they only get mad when a law abiding citizen carries a gun.

I do not remember any of these types of allegations being made during the Tea Party protests. In fact, not only were the people clean and picked up after themselves, they also were well behaved and, I cannot recall that anyone was arrested for anything, much less a rape accusation. So, tell me why Obama would compare the Tea Party to these crazies again?

Obama Likes Occupy Wall Street Protesters But Declines Meeting With Some

With all his talk of support for the protesters, you would think he would jump at the opportunity to meet with some of them.

A group of “Occupy” activists in Greensboro, N.C., asked for a meeting with the president, who stayed overnight Monday in a local hotel. But Mr. Obama didn’t bite.

Click title of this post for full story.

In a nutshell, he may have dissed the protesters because they really are not terribly organized. They really do not have a message, other than they hate our government and they want us to be a bunch of dirty commies.

Obama has recently tried saying this movement is similar to the Tea Party but, forgot to mention that everything we have seen from OWS stems from the socialist/communist parties. These are not people who want to preserve the Constitution, these are people who want radical change, overthrowing our entire system. How the president of the United States can even suggest these two movements are similar or that he can somehow sympathize with these animals is quite an insult, in my opinion.

More Intellectual Thoughts From Obama

Here he goes again folks. Obama is now insisting that Republicans want to have a dirty environment.

"The Republicans plan, Obama says, boils down to this: 'Dirtier air, dirtier water, less people with health insurance.'"

Click title of this post for source.

So this is the depth of his understanding? If someone doesn't want the government to have control of every little damn thing in the world, they MUST want horrible things to happen? What kind of logic is this? This is the most absurd false dichotomy and limited thinking I have ever heard from a president. This is flat out embarrassing. I do not understand how any intelligent democrat could possibly argue for this president. What a silly, childish statement this truly is.

Obama just cannot seem to help himself. Everyday it seems to get worse with the hyperbole and ridiculous rhetoric that simply does not make any sense whatsoever. Would it be too much to ask him to think for a moment? It is fine to disagree with Republicans, but to make these types of childish accusations is just pitiful.

Rasmussen Reports - Advantage Cain

Is this really happening? Our horribly racist* country has two black guys going at it for president? (Sarcasm should be read here.)* Oh, yeah baby! I love this.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows Cain attracting 43% support, while Obama earns 41%. Given such a matchup, eight percent (8%) prefer some other candidate, and another eight percent (8%) are undecided.

Click title of this post, if you would like to read the source article.

I have already declared my support for Cain. I really enjoy this man. He is not interested in giving everyone a feel good talk. He is willing to send tough love messages to the American people. He talks the talk and walks the walk. This is something we haven't seen in most politicians and I don't care what side of the aisle you find yourself. Cain is definitely the real deal.

What do you think? Will his star fade? Do Romney or Perry still have a chance here? Why or why not? Comment below.
