Tom T. Hall's (semi-absurd) song about how a monkey can become president

.


.

"... And the butchers who've got all this blood on their hands are the ones who need god to be stood where he stands. "

I don't normally post music videos, but this one seems timely.
I'll allow the artist to introduce it in his own words.

"I let my guard slip. I knew that I’d let it slip. I wanted it to slip. I was absolutely sick of being politically correct. I am not politically correct, I never have been.. and I never hope to be. I’d been navigating through an obstacle course for thirty years. My guard slipped.. and I needed it to. I was livid. I was absolutely overcome by feelings of despair. My worst fears were coming true. Religion was gaining ground. The one collective trait among humans that I’d long held at arms length, with the deepest possible suspicion, superstition; was outrunning anything that I could personally throw into its warped path."- Roy Harper

The Black Cloud Of Islam

Well I'm sick to the teeth of the news on the screen
of the Hezbollah scum and Jihad the obscene,
whose men plant the bombs and then live feeling free
to watch women and children be killed on TV.
Which Satan delivers a child a death curse,
in the name of a worn out collection of verse?
I've not read the book so I cannot recite,
but I'd bet Salman Rushdie is just about right
underneath the black cloud of Islam.

And what kind of publicity needs so much blood
that's not for some sad diabolical god,
selling himself as a two-bit Macbeth,
as the expert in sentencing cousins to death?
And what kind of god can this be anyway,
that you got to prostrate to him five times a day
with hate in your heart and a gun in your hand;
is force the only thing you understand,
underneath the black cloud of Islam?

And the butchers who've got all this blood on their hands
are the ones who need god to be stood where he stands.
Blessing this kidnapping, murder and war,
with books written hundreds of ages before,
and women in veils walking paces behind
It doesn't sit easy in my kind of mind.
It speaks of oppression and no other choice:
that rigid compliance with the loudest voice
underneath the black cloud of Islam.

And you can put a lead bullet clean through this guitar
cause I'm not overjoyed with the story so far.
Sharing a world with the nutters of god
is as good as being six feet under the sod.
And words that are written are all here to stay,
and these are the latest there are anyway;
and I am the prophet so don't believe me,
I'm the same as the old ones except that I'm free
to give you a piece of my mind which is this:
you're the worst of Jehovah's blind witlessnesses,
with your feet in the door of the deepest abyss,
which is underneath, which is underneath, which is underneath
the black cloud of Islam.

Just Admit it, Newspapers: You're Scared of Muslims

As Radley Balko noted in yesterday's Morning Links, the Washington Post and other newspapers pulled Wiley Miller's syndicated "Non Sequitur" cartoon from their comics pages two Sundays back, because Miller pulled a familiar-to-Reason-readers "where's Waldo?" gag with the Prophet Muhammad, satirizing the new 21st century taboo on the depiction of even jokes about the fear of depicting a historical figure who really existed.

As is typical of the genre, Washington Post editors tried to play their own "where's Waldo" with the censorship process:

Style editor Ned Martel said he decided to yank it, after conferring with others, including Executive Editor Marcus W. Brauchli, because "it seemed a deliberate provocation without a clear message." He added that "the point of the joke was not immediately clear" and that readers might think that Muhammad was somewhere in the drawing.

If the Post's new standard for comics is to make jokes "immediately clear," then it might be time to kill the comics page altogether. No, Martel/Brauchli, you pulled the cartoon because your fear of Muslims outweighs your commitment to free expression, period.

Now comes L.A. Times media critic James Rainey, who, even while concluding that the cartoon should have run (the L.A. Times, to no one's surprise, suppressed it), makes sure we understand that fear was not a factor, nosiree:

That's not to agree with some commentators who have called the refusal to run the comic a cowardly retreat from radicals. I'd say the ax that fell on "Non Sequitur" had more to do expediency. Moving in a hurry, with many other decisions that seemed more pressing at the time, editors probably killed the item rather than face the possibility of a furor for a piece they honestly felt was not of high quality.

Uh-huh. This is really how these gut-checks work. A boundary-stretching case comes before you, and suddenly everyone's an art critic. (Rainey: "I didn't find the panel especially powerful or witty.") I'll never forget how many people reacted to the fatwa against Salman Rushdie by saying that, the thing is, Satanic Verses really isn't a very good book, and it's understandable that Muslims would take offense, etc. Faced with the fear of being blamed for (or the target of) a mysterious cartoon dog whistle that sends 1 billion of the planet's humans into a homicide-bombing frenzy, editors bring to the table levels of scrutiny literally never used on the media in question. As is underlined by Rainey's own reporting:

[Boston Globe] Deputy managing editor Christine Chinlund said via e-mail: "When a cartoon takes on a sensitive subject, especially religion, it has an obligation to be clear. The 'Where's Muhammad' cartoon did not meet that test. It leaves the reader searching for clues, staring at a busy drawing, trying to discern a likeness, wondering if the outhouse at the top of the drawing is significant — in other words, perplexed."

Said Alice Short, an L.A. Times assistant managing editor: "If they had produced a 'Non Sequitur' cartoon that said 'Where's Jesus?' I probably wouldn't have wanted to run that either."

Is that the least believable media quote of 2010? Why yes, I think it is. This exchange at the end of the piece gets closer to the matter:

At the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman a senior editor named Drew Marcks told me when I asked about the cartoon, "I'd rather not talk about it."

I pressed. He hung up.

Advice for my newspaper friends: Listen to Penn Jillette. "[W]e haven't tackled Islam because we have families," he says. "[A]nd I think the worst thing you can say about a group in a free society is that you're afraid to talk about it." There, that wasn't very hard, was it?

I wrote about trying to convince the L.A. Times to reprint Danish cartoons of Muhammad in this piece from May.

Commedy Central Caves, Censors Cartoon

Comedy Central Bows to Intimidation and pussies out of airing an episode of South Park as it was intended to be shown.
After an ominous threat from some dickhead at a radical Muslim website, the US network that airs the program removed a key speech from the second of two episodes set to show the Prophet Muhammad in in a bear costume.
The incident provides the latest example of how media conglomerates are still struggling to balance free speech with safety concerns and religious sensitivities.
I have a great idea on how to achieve balance. Grow a set and tell these extremists to fuck off! We have the 1st Amendment. Don't be afraid to use it! (while we still can).
Comedy Central declined to comment on the latest incident, but the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, clearly disagreed with the channel's handling of the situation.

"We’d be so hypocritical against our own thoughts if we
said ‘OK, well let’s not make fun of them because they might hurt us…" -Trey Parker


They had applied a modicum of satirical self-censorship to the second episode, bleeping out mention of the prophet's name and covering his figure in a box marked ''censored''. But a statement posted on their website said that executives ''made a determination to alter the episode'' without their approval and that the usual wrap-up speech from one character did not mention Muhammad ''but it got bleeped too''.



The mainstream media has been largely silent on this issue of "Religious sensitivity at the point of a gun". It seems to me that when, say, Christian groups have merely organized protests or advertiser boycotts against media content they find offensive they've widely denounced as "chilling" free speech.

Parker and Stone’s upcoming Broadway musical The Book of Mormon hasn’t provoked any death threats, only an angry letter or two.

Here's an old clip in which Jackie and Dunlap discuss continued protests over a Danish newspaper's Mohammed cartoons, differences between Christianity and Islam.

I'm Shocked Too

Villaraigosa shocked at celebration of O.J. Simpson, RuPaul, Dennis Rodman at L.A. Black History Month event

I'm shocked by the choice of those 3 individuals.
C'mon, a murderer, a drag queer/queen and a basketball player that did Madonna?

I would have picked these 3 as far better role models:

Redd Foxx

The Ultimate Jew comments on "King Obama" and his selfish defiance of the American people.

also, Mr. Mason explains how Harry Reid's remark WAS offensive......to whites.

Reid calls a spade a spade

Sure this is old news already, but this is my first crack at it.
"Dingy Harry" described Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign as a light-skinned African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
Those reflections appear in a new book, "Game Change," by Time magazine's Mark Halperin and New York magazine's John Heilemann.
Obama, asked about the controversy in a TV One interview, said Reid "used some inartful language in trying to praise me."
And don't forget, Joe Biden publicly shared his own similar insight into Obama's popularity during the campaign, and it didn't keep him from getting selected to be Obama's running mate. Biden omitted to note, however, that in addition to being clean, Obama was only Negro when he wanna be.
Were these comments out of line or offensive? perhaps. But you must admit there lies some truth in those statements. There's more white-boys lustin' after Halle Berry than Lawanda Page... and Barrack do change his voice when he speaks in "tha hood".

Bottom line: Should Harry Reid resign? Yes....but not because of the Obama race comments. He needs to go because he's an incompetent boob that continues to ass-rape the constitution.

Poverty Doesn’t Cause Crime

Poverty doesn’t cause crime -- Crime causes poverty (the problem is that those criminals, like Geithner,Blankfein,Dodd,Rubin,and Barney Frank,who destroyed the economy,are either members of the OBAMA administratiion,or its supporters).

The recession of 2008-09 has undercut one of the most destructive social theories that came out of the 1960s: the idea that the root cause of crime lies in income inequality and social injustice. This same theory is often employed by the "Libs" to defend those who would perform terrorist acts against our great nation.
If the poverty-causes-crime theory were true, this sudden rise in unemployment would surely be accompanied by at least some measurable increase in crime. Instead the opposite has happened.
I believe one huge factor is that gun ownership has soared across the country since Obama was elected.
Another overlooked factor in the decrease in crime is self-deportation. Illegal aliens make up a huge amount of crime. The illegals get counted on the crime side but not on the unemployment or population side…much of these numbers are artificial if one looks at “citizens”. But you won’t hear that from those pushing amnesty.
Of course the seemingly endless time extensions of unemployment payments to former job seekers may also have a lot to do with it.

The theory that a bad economy spurs crime only works if the criminal is that "Frog" from Les Miserables, the guy who stole a loaf of bread to feed his family.
If the criminal is selling drugs on the street corner, the probability is he's just making money to buy "bling" or new sneakers.

Obama Nominates Racist Bitch

Alright, to be fair, she's a reverse racist--a reverse racist, Anti-Constitutionalist, Affirmative Action, Hispanic bitch of questionable intelligence and legal competence.
President Obama had threatened to nominate liberal judicial activist who would indulge their left-wing policy preferences instead of neutrally applying the law.We all knew a minority female would be particular attractive to our politically correct president (even if this particular female minority was not the brightest bulb on the billboard) .In selecting Judge Sonia Sotomayor as his Supreme Court nominee, President Obama has carried out his threat.

Sotomayor readily admits that she applies her feelings and personal politics when deciding cases.

Watch this clip in which this crazy bitch states "The Court of Appeals is where policy is made" (She goes on to note that she shouldn’t say that publicly).



Just what we need, a left wing activist legislating from the bench.

Sotomayor is a committed believer in the identity politics school of left-wing thought.
She believes that it is legitimate for judges to base decisions on their ethnic or racial origins.
Do you really want a justice who comes close to stereotyping white males as inferior beings?

Can't we just call a spade a spade, already?**

The Obama administration, through a string of delicate shifts in terminology, has softened the essence of the war against Islamic extremism.

Some key policy terms for the Obama administration:

Detainees: Custodial informants

Terrorists: Improvised ideologues

Deficit: Long shortfall (or inverted surplus)

One trillion dollars: Nth power financing

Abortion: Reproductive choice

Earmarks: Allocators

Bailouts: Stop-gappers

Border violence: Territorial imperative

Torture: Non-verbal questioning

Taxes: Income tweaks

And I suppose those hijackers that flew into the towers, causing that "man-caused disaster" are now "disgruntled airline passengers".

**= the statists would probably rebrand my post title as "A Rose By Any Other Name..."

This Rebranding certainly won't make these problems disappear or make us any safer. Its just a way of trying to ram their liberal philosophy down everyone's throat.

It reminds me of Orwell's Newspeak.

U.S. Will Pay $2.6 Million to Train Chinese Prostitutes to Drink Responsibly on the Job

As Hilary and Obama prostitute themselves before the Chinese so they will continue to buy our debt, we're now paying to start what amounts to "A.A." programs for Chinese hookers????

But wait!
It gets even worse,

The National Institutes of Health are paying researchers to cruise six bars in Buenos Aires to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk .

Supreme Court rules for immigrant in ID theft case?!

What The Fuck?
This is truly disturbing.

The court ruled unanimously Monday in favor of (Wetback) Ignacio Carlos Flores-Figueroa, an undocumented worker from Mexico, who was given an additional two years in prison for aggravated identity theft. He presented his employer with Social Security and alien registration numbers that belonged to other people.

It adds insult to injury when they refer to that beaner as "an undocumented worker".Call a spade a spade, damn it! He's a freaking ILLEGAL ALIEN! They need to deport that bastard (and his kind) post haste (and maybe rough him up a bit on the way).

Political correctness is just Leftist bigotry and should never trump the truth.
Political Correctness is 'The Scourge of Our Times'.It is none but, a dangerous form of censorship and oppression, imposed upon the citizenry with the ultimate goal of manipulating, brainwashing and destroying our society.
Quoth Andrew Breitbart, "Political Correctness is Torture".
