lgf: a bunch of scruffy no-names

Preemptive capitulation

It's one thing that the passive left gives in to the bullying from the religion of peace, wringing their hands (wondering what we did to piss them off) Now, in an unbelievable act of nuerotic political correctness, they are capitulating before anyone even objects!
Its like the little kid who goes to school and searches out the bully and gives his lunch money before the bully even thought about asking fot it.

"PARIS (Reuters) - A London gallery has decided not to show some works of art because it fears they would upset Muslims, a curator said on Friday, a week after a German opera house canned a Mozart production for the same reason.

The director of the Whitechapel Art Gallery decided to remove works by surrealist artist Hans Bellmer from an exhibition the day before it was due to open, one of the museum’s curators, Agnes de la Beaumelle, told Reuters.

“The motive was simply to not shock the population of the Whitechapel neighbourhood, which is partly Muslim,” she said. The Whitechapel area in east London is home to many ethnic minorities including a large Bangladeshi community.

The gallery issued a statement saying that some works were not included in the exhibition because of space constraints but declined to comment specifically on what Beaumelle said."

Sin and Foley

via-
the Patriot Post


In the early days of 2001, amid the hasty removal of the letter “W” from White House keyboards and the theft of the presidential china from Air Force One’s galley, the departing President Clinton was busily dispensing no fewer than 176 last-minute presidential pardons to convicted criminals from sea to shining sea. One of these was for Mel Reynolds, a former Democrat congressman from Chicago. Reynolds had been serving a five-year federal sentence for fraudulent-loan and campaign-finance practices, having completed a 30-month sentence for 12 counts of statutory rape of a 16-year-old campaign volunteer.

Clinton pardoned Reynolds at the behest of Jessie Jackson, who then snatched up the sleazy pol to work for his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. Of course everybody remembers Bill Clinton’s infamous affair with 21-year-old intern Monica Lewinsky—let’s call that the “Clinton legacy.” Perhaps fewer, though, recall Jackson’s sordid four-year affair with a subordinate, one Karin Stanford, a staffer with Rainbow/PUSH.

So let’s get this straight: A disgraced congressman who’d had sex with a subordinate received a pardon from a disgraced president who’d had sex with a subordinate at the behest of a disgraced clergyman who’d had sex with a subordinate. And what was the Honorable Mel Reynolds’ new position with the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition? Youth counselor.

Back to the present. Last week, Mark Foley, the Republican representative of Palm Beach, Florida, resigned when evidence of his homosexual advances toward underage House pages came to light. First, let’s be clear about Foley’s despicable behavior: There’s no excuse for it. For years Foley has made a career as an advocate of children against sexual predators, even authoring the most recent House legislation to that effect. Foley’s instant-message exchanges with the House page in question are graphic and wholly degenerate. If he has broken any laws here—and it is possible he has—we hope that he is prosecuted to the limits of the law, preferably under a law he himself has authored.

Foley has beaten a predictable path to that last refuge of scoundrels: victimhood.

Having since checked into a substance-abuse program, and having claimed childhood sexual abuse by a clergyman, Foley has beaten a predictable path to that last refuge of scoundrels: victimhood. On top of this, he seems to be employing the McGreevey Strategy, in which a homosexual who’s been caught doing something irreparably damaging to his political career comes “out of the closet,” gets out of jail free and hits the talk-show circuit to promote a tell-all book.

In Foley’s absence, Washington’s focus turned quickly to House Speaker Dennis Hastert, where a veritable echo chamber keeps repeating, “What did he know, and when did he know it?” No less than the conservative editorial page of the Washington Times has called for Hastert’s resignation. If it becomes evident that Hastert had clear information of Foley’s predatory activities with underage pages, who had essentially been placed in Hastert’s care by their parents, we will support such a call. As The Patriot wrote last week in our condemnation of Bill Clinton as “The Great Prevaricator”, “the alleged wall between a leader’s ‘private virtue’ and his ability to act with ‘public virtue’ is a fiction.” We will offer no subtly couched double standard for Republicans over Democrats on this count.

Nevertheless, a couple of contextual observations may be in order to help put the Foley affair into perspective. First, it is now apparent that both Mark Foley’s homosexuality and his affection for male pages were open secrets in the corridors of Capitol Hill. If House Democrats were truly concerned with the welfare of these young pages, why didn’t they expose Foley long ago? Are we to believe it pure coincidence that Foley’s sins came to light at such a propitious time for the Democrats, just weeks before a crucial midterm election?

Second, Democrats—and their accomplices in the media—apply an outrageous double standard in political sex scandals. When, in 1983, Democrat Rep. Gerry Studds’ homosexual affair with an underage page was publicized, not only did he refuse to apologize, but he also called a press conference in which he appeared side by side with his 17-year-old conquest, defending his act as a “mutually voluntary, private relationship between adults.” Studds was censured, but being from Massachusetts he was re-elected five times. At about the same time, when Republican Rep. Daniel Crane was found to have committed statutory rape with a female page, he too was censured—but voters from Crane’s state of Illinois had the good sense to remove him.

Another fine Democrat of the Massachusetts delegation is the all too out-of-the-closet Rep. Barney Frank, who once employed a live-in call-boy lover named Steve Gobie. Frank paid Gobie $20,000 to work as a personal aide while Gobie, a convicted felon, ran a homosexual-prostitution ring from Frank’s apartment in the 1980s. When the House convened for disciplinary action against Frank in 1990, only two Democrats voted to censure him. In both cases, Democrats controlled the House and failed to act against these most wayward of members, who not only violated the chamber’s ethical standards, but also broke serious laws in so doing.

Democrats controlled the House and failed to act against these most wayward of members, who not only violated the chamber’s ethical standards, but also broke serious laws in so doing.

Space prohibits detailing all the sexual misdeeds of Democrats in recent years, but here are a few: Rep. Fred Richmond, arrested in 1978 for soliciting a 16-year-old girl; Sen. Brock Adams, accused multiple times of drugging, assault and rape beginning in 1988; Rep. Gus Savage, accused of fondling a Peace Corps volunteer during a 1989 African tour; and Sen. Daniel Inouye, accused throughout the 1990s of sexual assault by various women. Then there are Reps. John Young, Wayne Hays and the ever affable Sen. Ted Kennedy—all Democrats involved in sexual escapades under Democrat majorities, all of which went unpunished by their colleagues.

It’s clear, then, that issues of sexual impropriety don’t faze Democrats any more than do serious breaches of national security or selling cocaine from the House Post Office, as happened under the Democrats’ watch in the late 1980s. They see Foley’s folly only as a political opportunity to drive a stake through the heart of the Republican leadership four weeks before the midterm elections. Tellingly enough, Democrats haven’t called for an investigation into Foley’s actions, but they were quick to call for an investigation into Speaker Hastert’s response.

Mark Foley deserves whatever comes his way, and bloodthirsty Democrats may ultimately claim the scalp of the Speaker, but let’s remember the Reynolds-Clinton-Jackson troika before we ascribe even the slightest virtue to their actions.

Budget Deficit Drops to $250 Billion

More bad news for the Democrats
I'm starting to feel bad for them.

BREITBART.COM -
"By ANDREW TAYLOR
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON


The federal budget estimate for the fiscal year just completed dropped to $250 billion, congressional estimators said Friday, as the economy continues to fuel impressive tax revenues.

The Congressional Budget Office's latest estimate is $10 billion below CBO predictions issued in August and well below a July White House prediction of $296 billion.

The improving deficit picture _ Bush predicted a $423 billion deficit in his February budget _ has been driven by better-than-expected tax receipts, especially from corporate profits, CBO said. "

It's funny how the mainstream meadia's economic "experts" are always surprised by good economic news.
"Better than expected" is in every news report about the economy.
Who are these experts? I'm no economy expert but even I know (Because Ronald Reagon taught me) that when you cut taxes you get more revenue. Its simple really.
You see in the graph below that revenue was going down until G.W.'s tax cuts took effect, then it's been going up ever since! Also, the spending, except for 2001 (because of the war) has been going down as well.
Democrats Compiling Gay Staffers List:

"By Sher Zieve – Democrat groups are reported to be compiling a list of gay Congressional staffers and elected officials. The list is said to predominantly be comprised of Republican gays.

Rush Limbaugh advised Friday that this list may be released and published on the Internet, sometime next week. The move is said to be an attempt to suppress the Republican Christian vote in the upcoming 2006 November elections."


This is the slimiest bare naked political tactic that I have ever seen! The party of tolerance is gay bashing so that they can return to power to protect gays from being bashed by the right wing. One of the problems with this strategery is that we on the right are not the homophobes the left thinks we are. The fact that there are gay republicans working in Washington proves the point. This just goes to show you how far the left has fallen from their ideals, just how broken their moral compass is.

The American Thinker:

"Worst October Surprise, EVER"
Prediction time
The general discussion in the media is how many seats will the republicans lose.
Will they lose control of the house? Maybe even the Senate!

Well, my prediction is that we hold both the house and senate and we even pick up seats!
I know its crazy thinking but there you go.
We hold the senate picking up 2 seats.
We hold the house picking up 7-15 seats




I said there was more to this than we first knew.

Drudge
" According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded an unwitting Foley to type embarrassing comments that were then shared with a small group of young Hill politicos. The prank went awry when the saved IM sessions got into the hands of political operatives favorable to Democrats.

The primary source, an ally of Edmund, adamantly proclaims that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund. Both are fearful that their political careers will be affected if they are publicly brought into the matter."
What do they believe in other than there own power?

Give us Republicans credit we dump our vermin.
Can the Democrats say the same?

How about Congressman Jerry Stubbs (D)who in 1984 diddled a male page.
Did he resign or did the Dems get rid of him?
no....he was re-elected and served until his retirement until 1996.

How about Senator Barney Franks
who used the services of young male prostitutes?
15 years later he is in the Democratic leadership!

Then there is President Clinton who used the power of the presidency to abuse an intern
The Democratic response- 'Its a personal matter and none of your business."

congressman Foley is gone, as he should be, it is unnaceptable for our representitives to act like this. The Democrats on the other hand raise up their scum and praise them! This whole incedent proves that the left will do anything and say anything to regain power. They have absolutly no concern for children they only care about winning an election. They should be as ashamed of themselves as they pretend to be about rep. Foley.

What Foley did was wrong, he should be gone.
But what we are about to find out is that the Dems have taken this
and manipulated and maybe worse the whole situation.

"I then receive and email from Matthew Loraditch a former page and the site administrator for pagealumni.us.
The email contained Matthew's phone number so I called him. Matthew answer quickly and to me seemed nervous. I told him I had found a name and ask if he could confirm that the name I had was the page that had instant messaged Mark Foley. Matthew said he would not confirm or deny the identity of the name I had. So asked his why he put the redirect message on the website and he said because he had a statement he wanted to make. I asked him what statement he wanted to make and said he was working on it now and said he would email me when he had finished. the Palm Beach Post published Matthew's statement before he emailed it to me. Ms. U and I took a break for a while and when we came back pagealumni.us was shut down with just a message that Matthew Loraditch would be posting a message about his involvement in the Mark Foley scandal. I searched for another congressional page website that might shed light on who Jordan was.


Update: Blogger published my post before it was ready. I have more to say about this, but I am posting this now because it is already out. I have been contacted by the media and I might be on TV soon. I called Istook's office after the post went up and told them who I was and what I had posted, they seemed to already know who I am and they confirmed that Jordan Edmund did work there but he was out of the office. I gave them my phone number if they need to contact me. I hope you will read what I have wrote first them make up your own mind. I am sorry for the misspellings and bad grammar. I will keep you informed as I can. I will be on the radio at www.wideawakesradio.com at 4pm Central Time. This is not the end, I have much more. --Wild Bill--

ABCNews.com brought Mark Foley's boy-chasing to national attention, but it wasn't the first website to flog the story. That dubious honor belongs to StopSexPredators, a pseudo-vigilante blog filled with plagiarized, hastily-assembled posts, which no one seems to have heard of, visited, or linked to before last week—and whose operator has a suspiciously savvy grasp of the news cycle.

In other words, a blog whose sole raison d'etre seems to have been to get the Foley ball rolling.

Whoever promoted the story on DailyKos did so only 12 minutes after the fateful post went live at 11:06 a.m.:


Six minutes later, the same person, again writing under the handle WHinternNOW posted the following:

" WASHINGTON - Convicted terrorists locked up in U.S. prisons can still use mail and verbal communications to conduct terrorist or criminal activities, according to a report issued Tuesday by the Department of Justice’s inspector general.

The inspector general launched a review after a series of NBC News Investigative Unit reports in February and March 2005 revealed that jailed terrorists — even those responsible for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center — were continuing to support jihadists and encourage violence around the world.

“We found that the BOP (Bureau of Prisons) has not effectively monitored the mail of terrorist and other high-risk inmates,” concludes the 122-page report."

Relion of peace?






























"“In saying that Islam means peace Islamic apologists are simply indulging in word play in order to put as positive a spin on things as they can. It is an attempt to argue that Islam promotes non-violence. Such a peace is only available to one who has first surrendered to Allah and it is denied to those who refuse to surrender. Mohammed would sign his treaty offers with the words, aslem taslam, 'surrender and you will be safe'.”"


""No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can
any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is
preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant,
and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own
weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders."

N. Korea Says It Will Conduct Nuke Test


My Way News -: "
By BO-MI LIM

(AP)
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea said Tuesday that it will conduct a nuclear test to bolster its self-defense capability amid what it calls increasing U.S. hostility toward the communist regime.

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, said that the U.S. would bring up North Korea's statement for discussion Tuesday morning in a regular meeting of the U.N. Security Council.

'A nuclear test by North Korea would be extraordinarily serious,' Bolton said in an interview with The Associated Press. 'The threat is serious enough that we're certainly going to take this action in the council this morning, by raising it.'

Using the acronym for the country's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the North's Foreign Ministry said in the official English translation of its statement that: 'The DPRK will in the future conduct a nuclear test under the condition where safety is firmly guaranteed.'"

This website counterpunch is a great example of how the left has gone completly bonkers!
The "normally restrained New York Times!"

The normally restrained New York Times in an editorial titled "Rushing off a Cliff" condemned Bush's "ghastly ideas about antiterrorism that will make American troops less safe and do lasting damage to our 217 year-old nation of laws-while doing nothing to protect the nation from terrorists. Democrats betray their principles to avoid last-minute attack ads. Our democracy is the big loser."
