The Raging Patriot

Ah, Christ on a Popsicle stick, Laura Ingraham can really get on my ass hairs. I tell you, that woman is an idiot to the tenth fucking power. Let me be up front here; I am a political conservative. I fall on the right side of the political spectrum definitively. HOWEVER ... I’m not a religious person. To be frank, religion is a big bunch of shit. Trust me, it is possible to be conservative without being religious.

The reason I’m on this rant is because I just finished listening to Laura Ingraham spew forth the idiotic idea that if John McCain picks a pro choice VP candidate it will DOOOOOM his candidacy. Bullshit. There are plenty of conservatives who don’t give a flying fuck about abortion. You don’t have to be a pro life, Evangelical Christian in order to be a conservative.

Within the abortion debate there is a common sense approach that lies somewhere between the two extremes. If you talk to most reasonable--key word being “reasonable"--people, you will find that they don’t have a pressing problem with an abortion during the first trimester. When it gets to the second trimester things get dicey. However, when it comes to the third trimester and/or partial birth abortions, REASONABLE people draw the line. Keep in mind, though, religious people are not very fuckin’ reasonable.

Bottom line; there are so many pressing issues confronting this country: Russia, Iran, The War on Terrorism, the economy, the real threat of ascendancy to the Presidency by the socialist and racist Obama. Fuck, the list never ends. If someone bases their entire vote on the abortion issue, or religion, they shouldn’t be voting. 

I’m just saying. 

I know, it sounds obvious, but a gorilla suit sitting in a freezer full of water being put over as a dead bigfoot is still just a gorilla suit sitting in a freezer full of water being put over as a dead bigfoot.

Only one thing to say about this: BULLSHIT.

Russia is a pathetic, mentally underdeveloped nation. As a whole, they are child-like in their insecurity and suffer from a huge case of inferiority complex. To be sure, Russia’s march on Georgia has nothing to do with the protection of Russian citizens. It’s all about conquest, oil, and Russia’s child-like inferiority complex. Russia is nothing more than a xenophobic, anti Semitic, racist, ultra-nationalist pariah. Any discussion with your average “Putin Youth” Nashi participant will make my observation more than obvious.

This guy mostly gets it right, but the reality is that much more extreme measures must be taken. Too bad that the EU and UN is made up of a bunch of weenies too neutered to do what really needs to be done.

What needs to be done? Well, in a just world every nation in the EU along with the US should be mobilizing arms and headed to Georgia right now. Georgia, and Ukraine should be admitted into NATO yesterday. Russia should be told to leave Georgia now or suffer the consequences at the hands of a united West. NATO and EU troops should be on the way NOW.

Also, Iran should be immediately barricaded by NATO and the EU. An ultimatum should be put forth to Iran; disarm, change government, or be destroyed. Sound harsh and extreme? Yeah it does, but contrary to popular disinformation, this is not a world of diplomacy. It is a world of might. The West, namely the US, and democracy are the most just forms of government. The West has the moral superiority and the might. A world consisting of Western ideals is a much better, just, and superior world than one consisting of any other ideology. Period.

I’m going to do my part by promising you this: If I hear some douche bag claim moral equivalence between the Russkies and our policy in Iraq, or claim that Russia was in the right, I’ll give them a foot to the nuts and an elbow to the head, and follow it up with a knee to the ribs. While said douche bag is laying on the ground gasping for air, I’ll take a nice long piss on the prone pussy.

OK, a little venting in this post.

A lot of the financial advice that he puts out is pretty sound, but when it comes to life insurance this guy is a blithering idiot. Trust me on this. I wonder how many people have compromised their retirement/financial plan by taking his blithering idiocy to heart. One thing to remember when it comes to retirement/financial planning is that there are very few if any absolutes. When someone starts spewing out things like, “all cash value life insurance policies are horrible” be very cautious. When someone spews a one-size-fits-all plan, be very cautious. I hear Dave Ramsey do this all of the time. How many times have you heard him say as a blanket statement, “save your nest-egg, open up ROTH IRA with a good growth mutual fund, get debt free, get ONLY term life insurance and invest the difference ...”

The truth is that the Dave Ramsey blanket financial plan can be pretty stupid for some people. The reality is that term life insurance is good for some people’s situation, and that a good variable universal life or whole life insurance policy is good for other situations. Let me throw out a question; what is the biggest bill that most Americans pay? It’s taxes. Your biggest bill is to the tax man. When you tap into your 401(k) after you retire you will be paying income taxes on the payouts. When you tap into that killer growth mutual fund that you’ve been contributing to, you will pay taxes. Plus that 1099 you got in all the years past. Of course if that killer growth mutual fund was in a ROTH IRA you wouldn’t pay any taxes on the gains. But, right now the annual limit to a ROTH is 5000 bucks per year. Also, if you make over $169,000 jointly the ROTH is probably out for you. What if you are above the income limit but want to have an investment option that offers the tax advantages of a ROTH? A cash value life insurance policy could very well be great deal for you because the cash value in an insurance policy can be accessed tax free.

In a good variable universal life insurance policy the tax advantages will most likely far outweigh the charges of owning the policy. It’s a FACT. If you do the math, taking into consideration the ultimate service charge of Uncle Sam, the variable universal life insurance policy can prove its worth. Dave Ramsey be damned. Also, what if you’re contributing the max to your 401(k) and you’re maxing out your ROTH? Well, it MAY be a good idea to cut back on what you’re contributing to your 401(k) down to what your employer matches (make sure to take advantage of that free money) and then use the difference to take advantage of the tax advantages of a good cash value life insurance policy. It could help offset the tax hit you’ll take from payouts from your 401(k).

Of course it’s much, much more complicated than this. A good, solid financial plan is a complex, long-term undertaking. If you’re serious about this--and you should be--consult a professional who is equipped to mold an approach to your specific needs and goals. DON’T listen to some fool on the radio.

Here is what I believe is the best advice in this regard. Consult a professional who does not have all of their eggs in one or very few baskets. If you go to a place that only specializes in insurance, insurance will probably be the only solution offered. If you go to a master of mutual funds, then mutual funds will be the solution. A straight up stock broker/wealth management person will also be limited. The professional you consult should be someone who is licensed and has access to all of these things. That way they are not trying to fit you into a plan limited by their lack of tools. What they will do is fit the plan to you and your needs and they will have access to all the tools needed to do it. They should have access to everything from life insurance, to disability insurance, to annuities, mutual funds, money market accounts, CD’s, long term care, wealth management and stock brokerage, and everything in between.

Do this and turn off Dave Ramsey.

I’m just saying.

If you’ve ever wonder how commie-libs work, just look at this.

“The key to defeating the initiative is to keep it off the ballot in the first place ...”

This is why I hate commie-libs. They can’t win in the free marketplace of ideas, so they pull this kind of shit.

Also, they are simply mentally retarded. Think about it; right now the price of oil is setting up to kill this economy and what do commie-libs like Obama want to do? They want to raise taxes on “obcene” profits of oil companies. Hell, we’ve even seen some commie-libs call for the nationalization of oil companies. You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to know that raising taxes on oil companies will result in higher costs to the average, getting pumped up the ass fuel cosumer. Also, we all know how efficient the guvment is when it comes to running shit.

When it comes to the high price of oil, commie-libs want nothing to do with a solution. What is the solution? It’s simple; its a supply and demand issue. The ONLY way to decrease the price of oil os to either increase supply or decrease demand. That’s it. What ideas do commie-libs put forth to confront that simple fact? Nothings. See, commie-libs don’t WANT oil prices to come down. They want you and me to be bent over. They think they’re saving the earth.

Here’s the deal. If the guvment announced today that ANWAR, the coasts, and every other place in this country was going to be opened up to drilling, the price of oil would drop substantially in a week.

Thanks, commie-libs. You can all kiss my ever-lovin’.

Even though Jurors saw the tape of him banging a 13-year-old.  How does this happen? True, I wasn’t on the jury, so what do I know?

This is nice:

n one scene, alluded to in one count of the indictment, the man urinates on the female.

It seems that the real question among the jurors was if the girl was the 13-year-old in question. No seemed to question if it was R. Kelly which means that we all know that the loser likes to piss all over women. Good goin’ R ... sick fuck.

The short answer is yes, and it appears as though a lot of people know it.

According to a new survey of 907 people released exclusively to Ad Age today, more than one-third (37%) of respondents believe that the National Basketball Association somewhat or very likely alters the outcomes of its games.

Duh. I used to love the NBA until it became so apparent that the League was a fucked up mess.

And you can take that to the bank.

Everyone knows that you can tell a lot about a person’s character by the company they keep. It’s not just cliché; it’s a simple matter of fact. The fact that Barack Obama has been going to that stupid douche bag, Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church and listening to his disgusting rants for 20 fucking years means that Barack Obama is just like the douche bag Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Anyone who would support Barack Obama is a fucking idiot. In fact the notion that he’d get any support from anyone is downright chilling.

Fuck you, Barack Obama, and fuck anyone who would still support your lame ass.

OK, I love watching movies. I can even sit through a bad movie, but I can’t forgive having wasted my time on a piece of shit movie. Most weekends I manage to get in a couple of movies with my wife. I’ll do all of you favor and give my opinions on said movies as I watch them.

Oh yeah, for all you dolts out there the above title is Weekend Movie Watch I as in the Roman numeral for one.

Anyway, the first film was Hot Fuzz. Granted, it’s a Brit film with ample examples of the kind of humor that can only be attributed to the British mindset, but the flick is hilarious and worth your time. I recommend it.

The second flick was one of the worst fuckin’ things I’ve laid my eyes on. If you watched The Science of Sleep--more accurately, La Science des Rêves--and actually liked it then you should be put against a wall and shot. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with artsy flicks. I have a problem with stupid and bad films. This one was stupid, bad, and a complete waste of 1 hour and 46 minutes. The director, Michel Gondry directed the excellent Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind so I wasn’t prepared for the steaming pile of shit that was The Science of Sleep. It just goes to show you that a good director does not necessarily make a good story teller.

So, there you go with the first installment of weekend movie watch. 

Someone, please water board this bitch!

French actress Marion Cotillard, who picked up an Oscar for best actress in Hollywood last week, has admitted to having doubts about the official version of the September 11 attacks in the US.

She continues: “Did man really walk on the moon? Me, I’ve seen a fair few documentaries on the subject. That, really, I question.

When I read things like this I have to chuckle.

Consumer advocates, minority groups and homeowners—some chanting “Save our homes, fix our loans!”—staged a demonstration outside Countrywide Financial Corp. offices Wednesday, part of a campaign to press the nation’s largest mortgage lender to do more to help borrowers in danger of foreclosure.

About 50 people gathered in front of the building in San Diego where the mortgage lender has offices. Some participants held handwritten posters with slogans such as “Our lives are not adjustable” and “Would you give your mom a sub-prime loan?”

I don’t believe anyone held a gun to anyone’s head demanding that they sign on the dotted line. I wish a Countrywide spokesman would come out and tell these idiots to go fuck themselves. The problem isn’t predatory lenders, the problem is stupid people signing on to a loan that they can’t afford. Your life may not be adjustable, but your loan is if that’s the loan that YOU signed off on. Stop blubbering like a little bitch and deal with it.

It seems that with each passing day cult of human caused global warming loses more credibility. So much so that the conversation is slowly being morphed from “global warming” to “climate change” which will be the new battle cry for the commie-libs. Never mind the fact that the climate changes every fucking day.

Stupid fucking commie-lib, ponytail wearing, granola munching, Birkenstocks with wool socks wearing, in need of a serious bath, shave, and haircut idiots. From day one I’ve always known that global warming is a cyclical phenomenon. That human activity doesn’t have jack to do with it. Even though Al Gore opens his meat hole and declares that the discussion is over and tries to demonize anyone who contemplates the idea that it may be cyclical …

As time passes it becomes apparent that I’m right and and that dickhead is wrong.

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded.

But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA’s GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

And ...

The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C—a value large enough to wipe out nearly all the warming recorded over the past 100 years.

Tell me, how much more will it take for you greenies to remove your lips from Al Gore’s member and accept reality? Actually, I don’t think you ever will. It’s a combination of sheer stupidity and overwhelming desire to propagate your fucked up commie-lib ideology.

Oh wait, to make Al Gore’s member taste even better there’s this

Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966.

And remember the Arctic Sea ice? The ice we were told so hysterically last fall had melted to its “lowest levels on record? Never mind that those records only date back as far as 1972 and that there is anthropological and geological evidence of much greater melts in the past.

The ice is back.

Oh, now let’s cry releif; the poor fucking polar bears have some ice to walk on.

Now, empirically speaking, does any of this mean a fucking thing other than it was a cold winter? No. Just like the fact that a few years of warmer temps doesn’t mean anything other than it was a little warmer than usual. 

It looks like the US Navy bagged themselves a satellite. We’ll see if it really happened.

The best part of this whole thing is that it really pisses of hockey puck head Vladimir Putin. Yo, Putin, it sucks to have the whole world yawn when they see your ugly mug on the TV, doesn’t it? By the way; KGB is an acronym for Kan’t Getta Boner.

What would it take to alarm you?

I seriously believe that liberals wouldn’t be alarmed even if their heads were in the process of being sawed off by some fuck in a turban braying to Allah.

The above article is chock full of examples of liberal stupidity:

The other day, in a characteristically clotted speech followed by a rather more careless BBC interview, the Archbishop of Canterbury said that it was dangerous to have one law for everyone and that the introduction of sharia — Islamic law — to the United Kingdom was “inevitable.”

Huh? What should be inevitable is the FUCKING WATERBORDING OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY for no reason in particular other than the sheer joy of seeing a blithering idiot suffer.

Is this the world this dumb fuck wants to llive in?

Last week, the British and Ontario governments confirmed within days of each other that thousands of polygamous men in their jurisdictions receive welfare payments for each of their wives.

Don’t think that could happen here? Think again. We’re well on our way.

And of course the following money-line from this brilliant piece:

Nobody wants to be unpleasant, or judgmental, do they? What was it they said in the Cold War? Better dead than red. We’re not like that anymore. Better screwed than rude.

What it amounts to is that meat-headed, misguided, mentally impaired liberals are willing to fuck us all for something that sane, reasonable people can’t even begin to understand. 

I’ve been watching Barak Obama’s celebrity fueled, media hyped meteoric rise and I find it chilling. Tell my, you stupid, fucked in the head liberals. When Obama tells me he’s going to reduce the cost of my healthcare coverage by $2500, who the fuck is going to pay for it? When he opens his glory hole and says that if you can’t afford healthcare, the guvment is going to take care of it, who in god’s almighty is going to pay for it? “We can do better,” “We will change …. Bla, bla, bla, fucking bla”.

Yo Obama, you talk a fine speech that can apparently turn chicken shit into chicken salad, but tell me. Just WHAT are you going to change, how are going to do it, and who the fuck is going to pay for it?

I tell you what I envision every time Obama opens his glory hole: I have visions of my pants being yanked down around my ankles and a big guvment dick being crammed up my ass while the hand that isn’t holding me down is giving me a reach-around …to take heaps of money out of my pocket. Money that I work hard for so that lazy fucks can have a guvment handout.

No thanks.
