The totalitarian based Hipster movement is a menace to America. Although politically they are dangerous, their dress styles are ridiculous. The animal hat craze has to be the dumbest dressing thread I have seen in my life. But that is nothing compared to Hipsters walking the streets bare footed and in striped pajamas!
This Hipster does look stupid and is funny to laugh at, but their movement is no laughing matter. This clown could one day be President of the US and be responsible for genocide. Until that occurs, lets laugh at his expense!
Those in the “Professional Blogging Class” can be so amusing at times. Helloieeeee, NEWS FLASH… It isn’t just reporters, it’s anyone who makes the mistake of disagreeing with the Obamanation Administration in anything even remotely resembling a public forum.
Yes, yes, it’s now that time in the program where the audience gets to participate. Yes, I’m obviously a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist.
If you have ever read this blog before than you now that it is anything but being a Obamanation Administration friendly blog. This blogs highest single concentration of readers by some strange coincidence just happens to be individuals residing in Mordor on the Potomac, ( a little fact I happen to be aware of courtesy of Alexa )
Sharyl Attkisson: Something fishy’s been going on with my computers since early 2011
Yea, well, you’re not the only one sweetheart. For about the last year or so my computer has periodically suffered from sudden and inexplicable bouts of inability to connect to the internet. No, there is nothing wrong with my computer, or my internet connection. It just periodically refuses to connect. Getting it to do so again requires jumping through all sorts of flaming hoops and what not. But it comes down to this, periodically my network card suddenly decides that it will not permit network traffic, then it decides that it will turn itself off.
Ya, your right, my tin foil hat is screwed on way to tight. Just because Alexa once reported that someone from the DOJ was reading my blog and then my computer started misbehaving doesn’t actually mean that there is any connection between the two events. Ya, you’re right, I probably just screwed something up on my computer that explains this strange behavior of my computer. No reason to suspect that it’s anything else, right?
It’s not like the DOJ has actually taped into the computers of individuals who refused to worship the Obamessiah… I mean, right? Ya, I know, I know, after all, I am about as small and insignificant as it’s possible to be in the grand scheme of things. No rational or logical reason to think that the DOJ or any other federal bureaucracy would bother wasting their time on anyone as insignificant as me especially while their are genuinely threatening targets out there like Attkisson or Rosen, right?
Try keeping this thought fixed firmly in your mind while considering just how paranoid and foolish this all sounds. Before the Berlin Wall came down the East German Secret Police (the Stasi) kept files on every single East German, and 1 in every 6 East Germans were informants of the Stasi.
Yes, make no mistake about it, what these various Obamanation Administration faceless bureaucrats and bureaucracies are doing is exactly what the KGB and the Stasi used to do, no, they haven’t gotten to the stage that everyone associates with the KGB or the Stasi yet, but even the KGB and the Stasi didn’t start out the way they ended.
HotAir’s Ed Morrissey threw me off HotAir for making a comment there that I had made hundreds of times over a course of two or three years. It was a act of hypocritical cowardice on Ed’s part. All things considered though, looks like Ed might have been encouraged. Is the new statistic going to be, 1 in 6 Professional Bloggers is an informant for the Obamanation Administrations Cyber Secret Police?
That’s right! Two of MSM’s biggest Obama rumpswabs now admit that the IRS and AP scandals pretty much prove that the fear of increased background checks by Pro-Second Amendment groups may have some merit.
How big of a wake-up call are the Obama scandals, especially the ones surrounding the seizing of phone records from the Associated Press and the IRS’s targeting of conservatives? So big that two of the media’s most shameful and shameless gun control advocates — Joe Scarborough and Piers Morgan — have finally conceded that arguments made by pro-Second Amendment activists against the expanding of background checks might not be so ridiculous.
In a roundtable discussion on Friday’s “Morning Joe,” Scarborough said that because of the IRS scandal, “My argument is less persuasive today because of these scandals.” He added: “People say, ‘Hey, if they do this with the IRS, asking people what books you read, then how can I trust them with information about my Second Amendment rights?’”
Mika agreed completely: “That is a really, really good point.” Even the Huffington Post’s Sam Stein agreed.
Scarborough added that, when it comes to both background checks and immigration reform, the IRS scandal is “devastating,” because both of those pieces of legislation ask us to trust the kind of government that would seize the media’s phone records and use the IRS to target a president’s political foes.
Also courtesy of NRO, here is no-less than Piers Morgan conceding he was wrong to ridicule gun-rights activists (including our own Ben Shapiro) for making the argument that a legitimate fear of government tyranny is what makes the Second Amendment so crucial:
The above Youtube is an excerpt of Obama’s commencement address at Ohio State on May 5, just days before the IRS and AP scandals broke. The cynicism and hypocrisy of his words are truly epic. Obama is all about tyranny and all about a sinister big government that is hell-bent on using our tax dollars to take away our freedoms. If you can’t stand the sound of Dear Leader’s voice, here is the transcript of what he said.
Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can’t be trusted.
Now this is straight from the White House. “The Law Is Irrelevant”
For anyone who took the time to watch the Eric Holder and/or IRS hearings this week, the corruption, incompetence and arrogance of the ruling parasite elite class was on full display. Eric Holder and Steven Miller, chief executives of the Department of Injustice and the IRS respectively, testified before Congress as to their utter cluelessness and unaccountability of the nefarious goings on in the powerful agencies that they run. Steven Miller’s testimony was by far the most interesting. He testified to Congress that IRS persecution of groups of people of a particular political view is not illegal. He further testified that questioning individuals as to the subject matter of their prayers was not improper. When asked “what would make a difference in ending the unlawful practices of the IRS?”, Miller stated that he simply needed a bigger budget. Unbelievable stuff. Holder’s testimony was not nearly as entertaining. He simply testified that he either didn’t know or couldn’t remember anything about anything that was asked of him. Both of these bureaucrats made it perfectly clear that they are above the law and are not accountable to you commoners. In fact, Steven Miller wants you to know that he views us taxpaying bumpkins as his “customers”. EXCUSE ME, ASSHOLE! I AM NOT YOUR CUSTOMER! YOU WORK FOR ME AND I’M THE ONE WHO PAYS YOUR SALARY!
We need to have every cabinet secretary testify before Congress and explain their relevance and reason for existence. The former EPA Secretary needs to explain how she used bogus emails to circumvent Freedom of Information inquiries. The Department of Energy does not produce or create energy yet its 2013 budget is $27 Billion. The Department of Education does not produce or create education yet its 2013 budget is $68.9 Billion. Those 2 departments do nothing but create onerous regulations and indoctrinate socialist dogma into our youth. They should both be abolished. BTW, whatever happened to Hot Tub Bub of the GSA?
Here we go! Enforcement of the monstrosity known as Obamacare falls primarily to the IRS. The IRS is expected to hire 16,000 (at a cost of $5 to $10 billion) enforcement agents to ensure that you are in compliance with Obamacare. A vision of Dawg Teh Bounty Hunter kicking down my door and demanding my “papers” just flashed before my eyes. At any rate, GOP Congressmen just filed a bill which would block the IRS from enforcing Obamacare.
In the wake of IRS admission that it targeted tea party and conservative organizations, Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to block the agency from implementing ObamaCare. Under current law, the IRS is tasked with collecting billions in new taxes, designing rules for subsidies and tax credits and enforcing the individual mandate. The new legislation would block what one member described as IRS “bullying.”
Legislation introduced by GA Rep. Tom Price would block the IRS from implementing or enforcing any part of the ObamaCare law. ”When it comes to an individual’s personal health care decisions, no American should be required to answer to the IRS — an agency that just forfeited its claim to a reputation of impartiality,” Price told The Hill. “It has always been an untenable and unacceptable scenario, and we ought to take this common sense step to take the IRS out of healthcare.
Separate legislation filed by VA Rep. Randy Forbes would prevent the IRS from hiring the estimated 18,000 new agents it needs to enforce the health care law. ”The IRS would be better to police its own than to police the millions of Americans who believe this healthcare law to be bad for their families and bad for our businesses,” Forbes said. NV Sen. Dean Heller is working on similar legislation in the Senate.
The unfolding IRS scandal shows an agency taken over with a political agenda. The repercussions of IRS action in these events was somewhat limited, though, because it only impacted organizations seeking non-profit, tax-exempt status. Unless current law is changed, the agency will have greater powers over the lives of every American. Under this Administration, the IRS can’t be trusted to keep political calculations out of their work. So, it should be kept out of ours.
Progressives always come up with kooky ideas. The latest lunacy is a suggestion that people should be paid to cook at home. The author of this article proposes a new government program to pay people to cook at home.
In the Wages for Housework campaign, Ms. James argued for a shorter workweek for all, in part so men could help raise the children. This is not a pipe dream. Several Northern European nations have instituted social programs that reflect the importance of this work. The Netherlands promotes a “1.5 jobs model,” which allows men and women to work 75 percent of their regular hours when they have young children. In Sweden, parents can choose to work three-quarters of their normal hours until children turn 8.
To get Americans cooking, we need to make it possible. Stay-at-home parents should qualify for a new government program while they are raising young children — one that provides money for good food, as well as education on cooking, meal planning and shopping — so that one parent in a two-parent household, or a single parent, can afford to be home with the children and provide wholesome, healthy meals. These payments could be financed by taxing harmful foods, like sugary beverages, highly caloric, processed snack foods and nutritionally poor options at fast food and other restaurants. Directly linking a tax on harmful food products to a program that benefits health would provide a clear rebuttal to critics of these taxes. Business owners who argue that such taxes will hurt their bottom lines would, in fact, benefit from new demand for healthy food options and from customers with money to spend on such foods.
If we truly value domestic work, we should also enact workplace policies that incentivize health, like “health days” that employees could use for health-promoting activities: shopping for food, cooking, or tending a community garden.
Do not laugh at this idea. The Democrats and the Huckabee/Santorum Wing of the Republican Party will probably embrace this idea. Expect a politician to propose this crazy idea sometime in the next few cycles.
CBS News President, David Rhodes, is the brother of Obama’s deputy national security, Ben Rhodes. Ben Rhodes was instrumental in changing the Benghazi talking points. Now, the top turds at CBS are trying to dump Sheryl Attkisson, the only CBS investigative reporter with a set of gonads. CBS says her reporting on Benghazi is bordering on “advocacy”. She was also the reporter who broke the Fast & Furious story.
The brother of a top Obama administration official is also the president of CBS News, and the network may be days away from dropping one of its top investigative reporters for covering the administration’s scandals too aggressively.
CBS News executives have reportedly expressed frustration with their own reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, who has steadily covered the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi terrorist attack in Libya since late last year.
“Network sources” told Politico Wednesday that CBS executives feel Attkisson’s Benghazi coverage is bordering on advocacy, and Attkisson “can’t get some of her stories on the air.”
Attkisson, who is in talks to leave the network before her contract expires, has been attempting to figure out who changed the Benghazi talking points for more than five months.
“We still don’t know who changed talking points but have had at least 4 diff explanations so far,”Attkisson tweeted on November 27, 2012.
But on Friday, ABC News reported that the Benghazi talking points went through 12 revisions before they were used on the public. The White House was intimately involved in that process, ABC reported, and the talking points were scrubbed free of their original references to a terror attack.
That reporting revealed that President Obama’s deputy national security advisor, Ben Rhodes — brother of CBS News president David Rhodes — was instrumental in changing the talking points in September 2012.
Now here’s the funny part:
ABC’s reporting revealed that Ben Rhodes, who has a masters in fiction from NYU, called a meeting to discuss the talking points at the White House on September 15, 2012.
And I thought that fiction was the exclusive province of Jay Carney. Read the entire article here. Hat tip – The Daily Caller
The Hipster led OFA outclassed and outfought the inept Mitt Romney campaign. While Romney used outdated models in his campaign, the Obama Regime used data and social media to destroy the GOP. It is now apparent that Mitt Romney and the Republicans never had a chance in 2012. Every nasty comment by loons like Rick Santorum and Todd Akins was spread by email and social media. This made people despise the GOP and help fuel Obama’s victory, which he should have never won.
Harper Reed was OFA’s Chief Technology Officer and the man who defeated Mitt Romney. In an interview with Yahoo, he discusses how Obama and the Democrats invested heavily in Technology. They allowed his Tech team to use any means to win. This contrasts with Mitt Romney’s team that was stuck in 1980.
The Chief Technology Officer for Barack Obama’s re-election campaign probably does not look like what you think he looks like.
No, Reed is not the buttoned-up, neatly-coiffed exec you might expect to run the technology behind the most important election in America; but regardless of his sartorial choices, or the way he shapes his bangs in the morning, Reed has achieved unqualified triumphs, both as CTO for Threadless, the popular online T-shirt storefront, and then as CTO for President Obama’s reelection run.
In other words: You may question his beard, but you can’t question his success.
Here is a PBS interview with Harper Reed.
Harper Reed is a proof that the Hipster movement is nothing to laugh at. They may wear stupid animal hats Like these below, but are very dangerous.Animal hats are very stupid looking I may add. Despite that Hipsters have revolutionized the way campaigns are run. Mr Reed himself ran circles around the GOP’s Corrupt Consultant Class, which was led by the 300 million dollar loser Karl (Pig Vomit) Rove. While the Republican Party led by the Corrupt Consultant Class engages associate nasty characters and turn off voters as a result, the Democrats are preparing for the final battle in 2016. With control of the media, entertainment industry, academia, Wall Street, support from Demographic groups who thanks to GOP hostility wrongly view Democrats as their defenders and OFA’s technology, they smell blood. The Democrats are on the precipice of creating a One Party state modeled after the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany.
If the GOP does not change their hostile rhetoric of different voting blocks, becomes inclusive to all Americans, adopt a Middle Class agenda, invest in technology and adopt a positive message that resonates with ALL AMERICANS, they will be complicit in turning America into a One Party Socialist dictatorship.
The NRA is the blueprint of how to defeat the Democrats and OFA. They were inclusive, had technology to counter OFA and had a positive message of defending gun rights for ALL Americans. That is how they defeated OFA and it is model the GOP should emulate if they are serious about winning elections and preventing a Socialist dictatorship.
The GOP should emulate from Harper Reed and his fellow Hipsters in regards to technology and campaign startegy. They should not copy those stupid animal hats.
The Hipster Movement despite their stupid animal hats are dangerous and should not be underestimated.
Lost in the midst of America being reminded once again that we are embroiled in a war being brought to us by Radical Islam, (which pretty much means about half of all Muslims,) we missed the chance to celebrate the Socialist Dystopian war on affordable energy, known as Earth Day. Of course there were some things that I wanted to mention as a part of the celebration of small doom predicting chickens this year, as an attempt to do my part.
It actually snowed in Cleveland on Earth Day this year. Since last year’s Earth Day, 1 Million more people, many of them small children from the third world, died of Malaria due to the worldwide banning of DDT. Rachel Carson’s book, “Silent Spring,” has been proven to be rife with fraudulent data. This is significant, since it was the basis for the banning of DDT.
The Earth has a long history of warming and cooling trends, and the most recently experienced trend of warming temperatures was no where near the level of extraordinary when considered with other such trends in our planets past. Other such events have been generally matched by periods of expanding wealth and economic growth, and have been good things for the living critters, (including us,) of Planet Earth. Global Warming has never resulted in catastrophe, but in fact the opposite, when ever it has occurred.
Nations with dependable electrical power grids that can supply reliable refrigeration to their populace, generally have life expectancies double those nations without this capability. Without the advancements in farming techniques and the use of genetic manipulations, largely provided by Monsanto, no less than half of the world’s current population would starve to death. Referring to these saviors of man kind as anything other than heroic is just plain stupidity, an arrogant stupidity at that.
The technology that has often been pointed to as something that is polluting our planet is in fact responsible for making it a much cleaner place in which we live. During those halcyon days before we could use diesel powered vehicles to cart our refuse and waste away, man kind lived in his own filth. During the medieval times, large percentages of the human population died from preventable communicable diseases and pestilence, such as the plague. Life expectancies hovered somewhere in the late 20′s or early 30′s, e-coli was the expectation and not the exception. Cities were filthy places where deadly diseases were literally behind and in front of every door.
Most of the complaining about climate change seems to be coming from those places where the weather is perfect nearly all year round. If combating climate change means that I must limit my usage of toilet paper to a level where my personal hygiene suffers or that I have to shovel another inch of snow in order to preserve the bike paths in a place that is several hundred miles from where I live, I have three words to say. Surf’s Up California!
Those CFL light bulbs that the environazi crowd are pushing so heavily upon us may theoretically use less electricity, (this assumption is based on the bulbs in question actually working properly on a steady basis, which they do not,) but if one breaks in your home, the ensuing mercury poisoning and need for a Hasmat Clean Up Crew will teach you quickly how, really, really bad for the environment those damned things actually are. As with many of the ideas of the green crowd, their way of doing things usually is no better for the environment, sometimes actually worse, and always adds unnecessary layers of expense.
Responsibility is never taken for the consequences of their actions, like the deaths of 50 Million people who so far have paid the ultimate price for DDT being eliminated as a pesticide. Consequences you see, are for we little people in flyover country to bear.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has finally determined (after a 16 month review) that the process of hydraulically fracturing (fracking) gas wells in the Marcellus Shale have not caused contamination of water wells in the small town of Franklin Forks, PA. Well, gee; I’m glad they finally figured that out. The process of fracking has only been around for over 60 years and has been used to great economic benefit in over 150,000 wells with essentially no known detriments to the environment or human health. The illustration above shows why hydrocarbons from the productive zone (which has been fracked) cannot contaminate the water table.
After a 16-month investigation, state regulators Monday said that natural gas fracking, contrary to highly publicized claims, isn’t to blame for high methane levels in three families’ drinking water in a northern Pennsylvania town.
For fracking proponents, it was another piece of good news. The oil and gas industry still was unwrapping the federal government’s acknowledgment that fracking isn’t nearly as harmful to the environment as it previously claimed. By dramatically lowering its methane emissions estimates from natural gas drilling sites, the Environmental Protection Agency has made it much more difficult to argue that the fracking boom is accelerating climate change.
The developments Monday in Franklin Forks, Pa., also will make it much more difficult to argue that the wildly successful drilling method is harmful to drinking water.
The state’s Department of Environmental Protection now says there is no evidence to connect natural gas drilling with high levels of methane in private water wells in the small town, which sits within the Marcellus Shale region, one of the largest known natural gas deposits in the world and exhibit A of how fracking is transforming the American energy landscape.
The agency specifically says the gas is coming from elsewhere.
“The testing determined that the water samples taken from the private water wells contained gas of similar isotopic makeup to the gas in water samples taken from Salt Springs State Park,” which contains high levels of naturally occurring methane, the DEP said in a statement.
The Franklin Forks case attracted national attention and was held up by some environmentalists as another example of the dangers of fracking. It was also the subject of numerous media reports, including a Rolling Stone magazine photo essay that labeled one Franklin Forks family “Fracking’s Real-Life Victims.”
The family believed that nearby natural gas drilling was ruining their property and had rendered their water unusable and undrinkable. Similar claims have been made elsewhere in Pennsylvania and in other spots across the nation.
Thus far, however, there have been no confirmed cases of fracking contaminating water supplies — an acknowledgment that Lisa P. Jackson, as EPA administrator, made twice to Congress.
Fracking, formally known as hydraulic fracturing, uses massive amounts of water combined with sand and chemicals to crack underground rock and release trapped gas. It is being used extensively in states across the nation and is credited with putting the U.S. on a path toward North American energy independence within the next 10 to 15 years.
While environmental groups likely will dispute the Franklin Forks findings, Pennsylvania officials are making perfectly clear that nearby fracking simply could not be responsible for the elevated methane levels.
“The water samples taken from the private water wells was not of the same origin as the natural gas in the nearby gas wells,” the DEP said.
Assembly approved a two- year ban on the natural-gas drilling method known as fracking, after two previous attempts to block the practice failed and with the state Senate taking a different approach.
The state has been studying the safety of hydraulic fracturing since 2008, and blocked its use in the meantime. The Assembly’s ban would lift in May 2015. Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, has said he’s waiting until the Health Department concludes a separate analysis to make a decision.
“We will not sit idly by and endanger the health and safety of our communities by rushing necessary health and safety reviews,” said Sheldon Silver, the Manhattan Democrat who leads the chamber. “We need to better understand the broad impacts to our environment, our economy and the health and safety of all who work and live in New York.”
