It's fitting that I first heard about Shelby's passing in the opening ceremony of the NASCAR Nationwide race last night. As I was heading out to a gig last night, I happened to catch part of Mark Levin's radio show where he brought up Carroll Shelby. He wondered if Shelby's passing would even be mentioned in an American classroom, something I hadn't considered, since Shelby was an American entrepreneur and not some environmentalist or radical.
Here's just a small taste of his influence on American musclecars, from our friends across the Pond. From the BBCA Series Top Gear (which if you like performance cars, you should absolutely demand from your TV).
Rest in Peace, Carroll. Although I rather doubt you will, since I'm reasonably certain that The Big Guy has a Mustang he'd like you to tweak...
The smell of desperation wafts from the pages and pixels of the Washington Post. David Axelrod and his MFM minions at the Progressive Pravda had to go back some 50 years to fabricate a damaging story about Mitt Romney. I won't link it because I'm sure you've probably heard the spin by now and I don't want to give them the fourteen hits that they otherwise wouldn't get from here.
That dastardly Mitt allegedly pulled a prank on a fellow classmate for what I'm pretty sure was violating a school dress code by cutting his hair. Oh, and it's alleged that said classmate was "suspected" of being gay. How mean of Mitt. To a guy suspected of being gay. The Horror!
And you're supposed to think, "That homophobic bastard. I wouldn't vote for him if he was the last man on Earth" and change the channel to Ellen DeGeneres.
How terribly convenient.
This comes after VP Joe Biden's gaffe of telling the truth on one of last Sunday's talk shows where he said he was totally comfortable with gay marriage, Tuesday's vote in North Carolina defining marriage as only between a man and a woman 20-point victory, and Obama's earth-shaking announcement yesterday that he now has flip-flopped evolved on his gay marriage stance.
I swear I did not know it was Gay Pride Week already in Washington. I should get out more, I guess.
Now, the curious part of me is aroused. There's just a couple of things I'd like to know. First, how long has the Post been sitting on this story, because the timing seems, um, planned. Did David Axelrod control the release of this story? When was the forgetful classmate contacted and interviewed by the Post?
And lastly, when will the Post get around to doing some investigative work into Obama's high school years? Or his college years? What was his GPA? Where are his classmates?
When will the Post get around to investigating Obama's history in general?
If you missed it, or are new to Twitter (like me), you need to check out this link. It's from Michelle Malkin's Twitchy site and chronicles an epic smackdown of Obama's reelection effort.
If you have a Twitter account and you didn't see it, look up the hashtag #Ask Michelle.
The First Lady was soliciting questions, and boy, did she get them:
And you'll never guess who's helping this. None other than your favorite anti-Christ and mine, George Soros.
Pour yourself a good stiff drink (you'll need it again, sorry) and be prepared to see what you can do locally to combat this effort to undermine our voting process and keep radical, left-wing Communist/Progressives in power.
I'm not sure what to think about this article from Canada Free Press entitled The Planned Reelection of Obama Revolutionary Style. Not too long ago, I would've treated this article as "not very serious." But from what I've seen of the Obama administration and the very radical things he and it have done, I'm not so sure anymore.
It's certainly not outside the realm of possibility. This is one of those things that, if it's true, we are in a great deal of trouble.
I had originally planned to ask a question of you today. Consider it a bit of mental homework if you will: Why doesn't anyone ask "Why?" these days?
It seems that intellectual curiosity is on the wane. Far too many otherwise intelligent people lack this one vital part of their thinking process. The Ancient Thinkers had this quality, and for a long while, their teachings of this timeless question were always present in our modern society. Indeed, I would propose that our modern societies were built upon the answers to their intellectual curiosity.
However, this recognition of ageless truths seems to be in decline for reasons I have yet to fathom. Our educational system relies less and less on teaching children how to learn and tends to focus instead on whatever socially popular theories are currently floating about. The emphasis appears to me to be misplaced: hard truth, that which has remained constant throughout our recorded history, is discarded in favor of consensus.
Nowhere is this more evident than in science classes. Studies of the laws of physics has been displaced in recent years with what I'd call "consensus science." In this strange, new discipline, long-held accurate descriptions of the world around us and the various physical laws that guide it take a back seat to a form of crowdsourcing wherein an organized group of scientists are paid to agree on an erroneous, yet-to-be-proven theory, and this is promoted as a fact.
I'm old enough to remember what was called the "Scientific Method" of research. It was and remains basic and easy to grasp: the first step was to observe a phenomenon, the second step was to experiment based upon the results of the observation to test the validity of the observation to see if the results could be duplicated. Simple enough.
However, there is a trend these days to forward outrageous theories that not so long ago would have gotten you laughed out of the bar. If you said that the human race had the capability of affecting the climate of the whole planet, you would have rightly been considered on the edge of sanity. Yet, this preposterous idea is the foundation for a worldwide movement today called "environmentalism."
Granted, it has taken us a while to begin to question this premise, but question it we have. And those of us who have dared to question something that we know innately to be false have been excoriated, denigrated, and called any and every name you can think of. That this is so proves that those who are advancing this hoax is proof enough that their entire movement is bullshit.
But I digress. I'd almost forgotten how to do that.
In this unholy marriage of "science" and politics, the environmental movement has become the shiny new face of an ancient enemy, Totalitarianism (or Communism or Progressivism). In the following video from Trevor Loudon's site, Lord Christopher Monkton examines this movement and its attempt to impose a One World Government on us in the name of Goddess Mother Earth. Entitled Lord Monkton on Agenda 21 and Environmental Marxism, it's well worth your time to view.
If Agenda 21 rings a bell, it's because I've written about it before here. I would recommend that you read that post and watch the accompanying video if you're unfamiliar with it.
Anyway, back to my original question. Here's a video of someone who has the intellectual curiosity to ask "Why?" and the capacity to understand the answer.
Bless you, Lord Monkton. The world needs more men like you.
Fresh from the White House,Obama's Reelection Campaign, The Ministry of Information comes this little fantasy of a woman named Julia, who just can't make it in this big, old mean world without cradle-to-grave help from the government and your tax dollars.
The Life of Julia. Subtitled, "And how Mitt Romney will make it miserable." Put on your hip waders, boys and girls, the crap is going to get deep.
Notable by its absence is the influence of her parents. And when Julia decides to have a child, there's no mention of a husband. But at every step of her life, the government is there to give her a helping hand. Oh, and there's also no mention of a robust economy where Julia doesn't have to rely on the government for whatever scraps it decides to give her and she has the financial wherewithal to provide superior services for herself through the free market.
As you might guess, the Moron Horde had a field day with this little bit of wishcasting by the Children of the Left. Read the comments to find out what else happens to Julia...the crack-whore days during college, the sex-change operation, her denial of care by Obama's Death Panel which leads to a prolonged and agonizing death, her subsequent burial in the garden where she volunteered...
If you've spent any time here, you know how I feel about one of the biggest dangers to our country, our freedom and our way of life, the anti-Christ George Soros. He is Domestic Enemy #1 (if you don't count all the Progressive/Communists in Washington, that is).
Soros literally owns the left's propaganda machine in America. Our own little Progressive Pravda isn't an arm of the government, at least not officially.
In an ongoing effort to educate the public about how this despicable excuse of a man is busy trying to destroy our country, I present an article from the Media Research Center's Business and Media Institute that outlines the many "news" organizations that have received funding from Soros and his various radical, left-wing organizations. Understand that many of these organizations are tax-exempt non-profit organizations, which are supposed to be non-partisan. Any political observations they make would, in a world where everything wasn't backwards, disqualify them from this special exemption.
When liberal investor George Soros gave $1.8 million to National Public Radio, it became part of the firestorm of controversy that jeopardized NPR's federal funding. But that gift only hints at the widespread influence the controversial billionaire has on the mainstream media. Soros, who spent $27 million trying to defeat President Bush in 2004, has ties to more than 30 mainstream news outlets - including The New York Times, Washington Post, the Associated Press, NBC and ABC.
Do read it all. Educate yourself, remember the names of the people and organizations who are actively involved in deceiving you and keeping you in the dark. Beware of those who love evil and despise the truth.
When one man controls what you see and hear in media, you will hear only what he wants you to hear. You will see what he wants you to see. And you will think what he wants you to think.
