A Conservative Metal-Head in a Pop Music World

I know Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have listened to MLK’s speech, but have they heard it?

benmansfield — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:45:01 +0000

Its like white men cant jump….the famous part where woody Harrelson is trying to get under Wesley Snipe’s pre incarceration skin….I can hear Jimmy, I can hear Jimmy. Its about how you can listen to something over and over and never hear it’s message.

“But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.”

Al Sharpton may actually be the most bitter man on this planet. There’s nothing that isnt about race to this man. Always seeking to inject himself into every argument that might involve people of different races. This was not Dr. King’s wishes. And years later Im still waiting for an apology to the Duke Lacrosse players from Rev. Al. Dont think that one is coming. If the racial shoe was on the other foot, he would have ran in there demanding this unjust jaling be undone. Some times it best to sit back and let the facts roll in and forget the races involved.

Let’s read on…

“The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

We cannot walk alone.”

That’s pretty amazing stuff. He didnt ask for a special place at the table, he just wanted all to sit side by side and make this the best country it could be for all involved. Last year when the President rushed to judgement on the Cambridge police incident, and also with his previous comments about his ‘white’ grandmother…I believe the President could learn a thing or two from actually hearing this speech as well.

Dems and the left just motivating their adversaries

benmansfield — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 22:26:07 +0000

One thing that I don’t think the MSNBC and CNN crowd gets is that all this name calling, looking down their nose, insulting and name calling is doing is motivating a sleeping giant. Again.

The Republican Party was a goner in 2006/2008. It had become too watered down. Too much spending, too much bending, and absolutely too watered down a message. People want a clear difference in the parties. All this calling for bi-partisanship is great when that simple a question is asked, but if you break down how people identify themselves….liberals are outnumbered over 2-1 vs conservatives. People don’t want a liberal Republican party, and you can believe one of the reasons they got walked on in the 2008 elections was that the most liberal primary states chose the middle of the road Republican McCain as nominee for President to battle the most formidable dem opponent in ages, Obama.

Now the liberal elite media seem to think the way back to power is to insult, belittle and basically act like third graders. The sexually charged reference Teabagger, the constant attack on the intelligence of the tea party members, the constant charges of racism, it all blew up in their face in November of this past year, yet they didn’t learn a thing.

Look at the attacks this week of MSNBC host Chris Matthews asking if Sarah Palin is smart enough to know she’s too stupid to know she shouldnt be President…and that she sounds more like a “make up sales person” than a serious politician. Sexist much Mr Matthews? He also said that HE CANNOT EXONERATE her until all the facts are in. That’s not a typo. She’s guilty on MSNBC until the evidence (which is already out and has exonerated her) is in.

People in America do not like to watch people treated like this.

We also don’t like being told to be civil by the same people who have called us names for going on a decade. Michelle Malkin did a great job chronicling the left’s hate over the last decade. We also sat and watched the Dems lock the door, and then admit they didn’t read the health care bill that they now are clamoring for bi partisanship to save. Sorry, you started all this with the pictures of Bush with guns to his head, all the name calling on shows like Bill Maher and the entire MSNBC lineup, and let us not forget the cinematic gem Death of a President. No, you do not get to go on tv now and cry for civility when you just spent a whole week lying about the motives of a madman.

And lastly, Mr President, you are not above it all. You have told your followers how mad you were, how you wanted to know who’s ass to kick, that they should get in our faces, said you’re bringing a gun to the fight if the other side brings a knife, and to punish their enemies….and you sat back for 5 days and let your minions do the damage for you, so you can ride in and be a hero. Now there’s death threats being made to tea party members while you sat by for a week and let the stones be cast.

If this is on Beck, Hannity, Palin and Limbaugh’s head, it’s surely on yours too now Mr President. You might get a post speech bump, but i would be really careful about how you choose to frame your words going forward. The t-shirts left as souvenirs, and the campaign rally appearance of your memorial the other night might have went initially unnoticed but time has a way of exposing light on these things, no matter how hard your media cheerleaders try to sanitize it.

Do i think people like Olbermann and Matthews and the always insulting Andrea Mitchell have it in them to tone it down? Can Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Al Sharpton, James “double barrell” Clyburn and Clare “pitchfork” McCaskill cool the rhetoric? I think a fleeting glance back in time says the answer will be no. And for the country’s sake I hope i’m right. Nothing motivates us like your condescending nature, the name calling, the lies and distortions. Keep up the inept work. Then we can see some real change in 2012.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/socialist-u-s-senator-uses-az-shooting-to-raise-funds-for-re-election/

the last major posting about this congresswoman was on the daily kos calling her dead to them, but i dont hear any republican senators blaming them….tha…ts because its absoloutely wrong to try to score a win with this for your cause

this dude was a lunatic, and maybe we should be paying more attention to the screaming signs and not scoring political points when people are dead

within hours there were dozens of people on tv looking to blame people who had NOTHING to do with this guy

if people want to debate about the way people say things, thats fine but lets not jump on tv and tie people to MURDER for your own good

The silence is deafening from the left…..

benmansfield — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 23:09:13 +0000

Remember when gas spiked under Bush, how then senator Obama and Pelosi wanted windfall profits taxes, called the oil company CEOs in front of congress for a dog and pony show….well wheres the outrage now? Gas is 3.00 a gallon in the WINTER, when prices generally fall and are up well over 1.00 for a sustained period of time since President Obama has been sworn in. Let us not forget the video ive mentioned countless times about him WANTING high prices while he was in office. The oil companies profits are still through the roof, but not a peep from the left about it because its just another problem on his ignore list.

Now lets move to privacy…all of the liberals were having a hissy fit about the subway searches, just backpacks and carry ons….now were ok with total nudity or grabbing our most private areas?
the phone calls to terrorist countries being monitored…are you kidding me…now we have Obama’s FCC taking over the internet….searching search engines, monitoring DOMESTIC emails, credit card usage and also soon to come, medical records.

wheres the outrage….the bill maher round tables, the micheal moore name calling, matt lauer faking like hes a journalist and talking down to people about their invasion of everyday life? …..if it was bad under Bush its still bad….even if your man has put all of the privacy invasion on steriods…

I wouldnt cast stones when your President said to punish your enemies….

benmansfield — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 21:35:27 +0000

the Arizona massacre was absolutely horrific…and to watch the media tie this to sarah palin and the tea partys are just as bad…
there’s absolutely ZERO evidence he was conservative at all, his classmates say he was quite liberal ….why cant we just call crazy crazy….?

Liberal website daily koz had a post up 4 days ago about how congresswoman Giffords was dead to the author for not voting to keep Pelosi in charge of the democrat party and the Koz had a map with a target on her district….i wouldnt cast stones from the left when youre as guilty if not more guilty.

Very recently Claire McKaskill said maybe its time for people to take up pitchforks, President Obama said Latinos need to punish their enemies and also that he is itching for a fight with the republicans….Joy Behar dared *that bitch* Sharen Angle to come to Brooklyn…yet i didnt hear NBC or CNN mention those?

Also, even after the Ft Hood massacre, where we were asked by the president not to jump to conclusions, only to find it was exactly what we thought it was….the media jumps in with the Beck and Palin blaming.

This is a horrific and tragic thing that happened. People died for no reason,but this was a kid who complained of the literacy rate being under 5%, was obsessed with 2012 and loved Mein Kompf and The communist manifesto…the last time i checked, that was not high on Beck or Palins lists. Now Anita Dunn, who has professed admiration for communism and Carol Browner who is an avowwed socialist….Van Jones….they might be linked at least to the latter book.

How about we just let crazy be crazy, and stop trying to score political points out of 6 senseless deaths.

Lastly, when the truth comes out, how many of the Olbermanns of the world will apologize?

My angry email to Eastman Kodak regarding their indirect sponsorship of child perversion

benmansfield — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 05:28:03 +0000

heres the story that started it all
http://michellemalkin.com/2009/12/08/eastman-kodak-stands-by-glsen/
ill be updating you on their response real soon

I read your response to a concerned consumer about your sponsorship of GLSEN.

The question here isnt whether you embrace diversity….its whether you think its ok to give “fisting” demonstrations to 14 year olds, pass out dental dams to children and whether books about 5 year olds sneaking off in the woods to have sexual relations together is approrpriate. It’s all nice and innocous when it sounds like your company is just supporting a cause, but when you add the ugly details about it, its not as pretty.

This isnt a broadbrush answer. This isnt about bigotry. This is about what is being taught to our children that differs from our values. Not every person in the US who is supportive of different lifestyles wants their kids to read and be subjected to this kind of fillth.

And thats what this is….filth. And in this case its corporate sponsored filth. Read this article and tell me how your company is ok with this if you will, and keep in mind, this is being taught to children….

http://www.massresistance.org/docs/issues/fistgate/index.html

At the end of the day, what does this all mean to you….the bottom line. I am a consumer who always bought your products over other products because you’re an American based company, and out of the multiple cameras and printers i have, most have met my expectations or better. Mrs Deborah A. Shuryn response to a fellow consumers concerns struck me very wrong….its not about whether you support a lifestyle….its about this groups radical programs.

If America knew what they were teaching they would be outraged…….for your Senior Customer Relations Specialist to add the condensending remark that the idea you might respect different lifestyles might be offernsive to a customer was not to the point, and quite honestly a offending to me. Her response to others concerns were “I am very proud to work for a company that embraces diversity and respect for individuals. We truly regret that these values offend you.” Its not the values that offend anyone, some of this would be graphic even for a pornographic convention.

As I shop for a better digital camera for my wife for Christmas (I hope that doesnt offend you) I have a name that I will be ruling out, regardless of the great prices I have found. The wireless printer I want for myself is also now coming from a different source. You might laugh this off and think nothing of it, but i can assure you I will be posting this on the St Louis Post Dispatch’s website and calling all of my friends and immediate family and asking them to do the same.

Formerly your dedicated customer

anyone who wants the actual audio can send me a message
and the leader of this conference was the same Kevin Jennings who is now our safe school czar and himself admitted his only counsel to a 15 year old boy who said he was having innappropriate sex with strangers he met at truck stops and much older men was use protection

classy people we have running the show now isnt it?

A wartime American President truly embarrasses himself tonight….how, you ask?

benmansfield — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 04:22:39 +0000

He did not say the word victory one time…..not once
hes committing 30,000 young men and women to war and not once used the word victory

do you understand how demoralizing he has been to our military, past and present…..

….

waiting and waiting to annouce the reinforcements needed to actually gain victory in the war he chose and campaigned on…..remember it was his vow to take this war head on, to move the front there where it belonged….

but now this embarrassingly soft, and much more transparently liberal to the far left, president cant say the word victory…..

why are we there if were not there to win?

this man has no business as commander in chief, maybe he should stick to rewarding his cronies in chicago with the olympics (oops), stimulating the economy (oops), saving jobs (super oops)…..

ok scratch that, just take over companies like a totalitarian dictator and use our money to bail out your friends, cut health benefits to seniors……while failing to investigate major corruption like your buddies at Acorn…..those are the things youre really awesome at

heres a link from the speech so you can wordsearch it for yourself

Carol Browner….Secrecy Czar of the EPA….and top exhibit of Obama’s hypocricy

benmansfield — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:29:51 +0000

what do you know about Carol Browner…..The former Epa Administrator under President Clinton….

While at the EPA in January 2001, Browner and the EPA were ordered by a Judge to retain records pursuant to a discovery filed by the Landmark Legal Foundation. The LLF was concerned that the EPA would be violating the freedom of information act by destroying emails and data relating to what Mark Levin, counsel for the LLF, contended was to be an unprecedented set of executive decisions by the lame duck president Bill Clinton.

Yes she destroyed records a judge ordered her not too….but Obama appoints Mrs Browner ( an admitted socialist, that not even debated) to the top EPA spot…..even though she had a history of not being open and transparent, Obama’s Shining Campaign Promise…..and seemingly biggest lie.
more on the record destruction

Former EPA Administrator Carol Browner ordered the destruction of her computer records on the last full day of the Clinton Administration. The admission was made in a hearing today before Federal District Judge Royce Lamberth in a lawsuit brought by the Landmark Legal Foundation. On September 29, 2000, Landmark sued the EPA to force the disclosure of the identities of special interest groups that may have worked with the Agency in producing environmental regulations in the final days of the former administration.

nice

so now shes making secret deals with car dealers and telling them how not to leave any evidence

Carol Browner, former Clinton administration EPA head and current Obama White House climate czar, instructed auto industry execs “to put nothing in writing, ever” regarding secret negotiations she orchestrated regarding a deal to increase federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.

Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-WI, is demanding a congressional investigation of Browner’s conduct in the CAFE talks, saying in a letter to Rep. Henry Waxman, D-CA, that Browner “intended to leave little or no documentation of the deliberations that lead to stringent new CAFE standards.”

is this the new openess we were promised?
dont you think something that could cause all of us to pay more for our cars in the future might be something we can privy too?
Its not just that they didnt make it public, she told them how to hide it……

another hypocritical Obama appointee.,.at least she didnt cheat on her taxes….maybe

The Dems insult the disabled for the second time this year

benmansfield — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:28:52 +0000

remember when President Obama said he bowled like a member of the special olympics

now the dems have put the word RETARDED in their health care bill……

http://www.nypost.com/seven/07262009/news/nationalnews/retarded_house_bill_181448.htm

The proposed health-insurance bill from the House of Representatives refers to mentally disabled people as “retarded” — a term advocates, relatives and physicians find outdated and offensive.
The bill refers to: “A hospital or a nursing facility or intermediate-care facility for the mentally retarded . . .”
The phrase could cause more problems with groups for the developmentally disabled, who were angered when President Obama referred to his poor bowling skills on “The Tonight Show” as “like the Special Olympics.” Obama later apologized.

nice huh

those darn fine compassionate democrats are at your service America

The world’s last best hope is gone….and i mean John Hughes, not any politicians or athlete

benmansfield — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:27:56 +0000

man
today blows…..
Amy and I were just talking about the crap state of “comedies”, and how we wondered where the hell John Hughes went…..how old is he…why did he just leave us?

how kevin smith and his low brow comedy ruined things for a time, and how Judd Appatow cant write a complete comedy….funny parts, likeable actors, movies that just seem to lack something

and how if any one could revive Hollywood and remind us that sometimes Hollywood used to make us feel awesome and warm inside

look at John Hughes movies and tell me somewhere in that long long list of 80s and 90s gold there isnt a character just like you, and that one of these movies didnt just make you feel better about the world

thats what we need now…..

Athletes cheat us constantly……Politicians promises us the world and bleed us dry
even your closest love ones will let you down only rarely if youre truly blessed

we need those awesome 90 minute diversions that remind us nothing is as bad as it seems

movies like Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Dutch are part of my hollidays now….just like theyre part of the family…..

Hughes didnt need to add raunch, drug use, tons of profanity….
he didnt go for what was easy…..
he just found an empty part of your heart and left his films there

a partial list …..
Beethoven (1992), Curly Sue (1991), Dutch (1991), Home Alone (1990) , National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989), Uncle Buck (1989), The Great Outdoors (1988), She’s Having a Baby (1988), Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987), Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986), Pretty in Pink (1986), Weird Science (1985), National Lampoon’s European Vacation, The Breakfast Club (1985), Sixteen Candles (1984), National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983),
Mr. Mom (1983)……………………..

insanely talented….RIP Mr Hughes

tell me which one is your favorite
and for the record……planes, trains and automobiles is possibly my favorite comedy ever, but i love Dutch just as much…..dang it Ed O’neill…where did you go???
