“The 2nd Amendment Is To Keep Us Safe From You”

Shameful
Candy Crowley was unbelievably involved in the debate last night. When should the moderator debate the candidate? When is it OK for the moderator to fact check a candidate on the spot? If this is what they are here for, why not just hold a press conference and let them all get their digs in. We can call it the Press Presidential Debate, because that is what’s happening with these left leaning moderators. It is not their job to correct the candidates, and even if it was, why then did she not correct Obama on his domestic energy lies?
So it is very obvious that you can’t find a “journalist” that is not skewed liberal so it’s time to do something different. Let CNN use one of their people, FOX news get’s to use Megan Kelly or Bill O’Reilly, and then the last would Chris Berman from ESPN. Anybody who can deal with Keyshawn Johnson, Mike Ditka, and Chris Carter on the same stage can handle the candidates without coddling one or the other.
Another California City Bans Smoking In Homes
Call it what it is….another government overreach. How does that feel Californians? You may or may not be a smoker, but what I can tell you is that you just lost another freedom. Think it stops there? Think again.
San Rafael is the state’s ninth municipality to completely restrict smoking in multi-unit housing, said Pam Granger, advocacy manager for the American Lung Association in California. Granger said California was the only state where local jurisdictions have banned smoking in homes.
Supporters of the San Rafael measure say it would protect bystanders from the health hazards associated with secondhand smoke, a known carcinogen that can seep through ventilation ducts, doorways and open windows in residential units with shared walls, California Watch reported.
Although the ordinance has generally been supported by residents who have spoken at city council meetings, the proposal has set the stage for a fierce fight over how far the government should go in regulating peoples’ private lives.
“This proposed smoking ban actually intends to punish people for what they do in their own homes,” Thomas Ruppenthal told the city council. “I really feel this is tyranny.” Read here
Enough Politics…..Enjoy
I Just Don’t Get Californians
Looking at the electoral map you can see that California has 55 electoral votes, New York 31, and Illinois 21. These states have some of the highest crime rates, worst educational systems, and billions in debt due to poor choices made over decades by your politicians. Yet most of the red states have brought their states back from the brink after the recession and are now seeing an uptick in jobs and revenue.
So why then is California still voting democratic? They have cities filing for bankruptcy, the public school system is a wreck, large businesses are fleeing the state due to relentless taxation and regulation, (see Comcast & Campbells Soup), and in all of their infinite wisdom, they brought back Jerry Brown, and have decided to build a high-speed rail that will cost $98.8 billion which frankly, you don’t have. Of course they do get federal dollars for the high-speed rail, but that is now MY money, going to a state that is in fiscal denial.
Why Californians? Why?
Is it that you have been so indoctrinated in liberal bullshit from grade school to college that you can’t see the forest for the trees? How can you as citizens side with politicians that have done nothing but raise taxes, implement ridiculous regulations, fail massively in the attempt to educate your kids, and watch large employers leave the state like rats jumping off a sinking ship, and at the same time, give themselves generous pensions and healthcare that are paid for by you the taxpayer. What is this blind loyalty?
Have you looked around at other states? Do you know that Texas, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona are cleaning your clock and raiding your revenue pantry by welcoming your former businesses and the jobs/revenue that comes with them? In a perfect world everybody would be working and making hundreds of thousands a year, but this is the real world. Unicorns and fairy dust are not considered a reliable means of revenue. You can lean on that Hope & Change thing all you want, but like unicorns, it is not real.
So what are you hanging your fiscal hat on? What is the future generation, currently in grade school, going to do with the unsustainable and massive debt you have burdened them with by your head in the sand approach to your elected officials. This shit is not going to get better for you people.
You have 55 electoral votes, more than any state in the union, and you still vote for and idea that is currently destroying your state. And you put our country in peril because of that vote. Whichever political side gets the California vote, has the biggest foot in the door to the Whitehouse, and your continued blind faith in the democratic model, is threatening not just your state, but MY country as well. Wake up Californians, look at the electoral map and do some research. Look to the red states and see how their economies are doing compared to yours. Realize that you need to change your ways. Your weather may be beautiful but it will be hard to enjoy living in a cardboard box under the freeway.
Remember this guy? You people used to make good choices.

Take Note! I Mean Notes!
Full diclosure I have seen this on a few sites and was not going to steal it…but I couldn’t help myself.
A Nod to Grouchy Old Cripple and Hookers & Booze the two sites that I found it on. Hilarious.
Tonight it’s Ryan v. Biden. Number one I can’t wait to see Ryan clean house, number two I can’t wait to see Bidens notes.
Labor Department Releases Jobless Numbers…..But Leaves Out One LARGE State
Jobless numbers according to the BLS dropped to lows not seen since 2008. Problem is, they released the numbers without including one “large state”. The state not included would be California, not official, just my guess. It is the most populous and volatile employment environment in the country. So why release the data if it is not complete? Who in their right mind, from a department that is supposed to be collecting data, would release the numbers if it is not complete?
Heres a hint.
The Department of Labor, led by Hilda Solis, is in charge of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who is led by Dr. Erica Groshen, who both were nominated by Barack Obama, who are both Democrats, who are both Pro Union, Pro Choice, one is Hispanic, the other went to Harvard and specialized in trade unions, collective bargaining, and public policy. It does not matter which one did what, what matters is the ideology of both and the end game of decisions they make that impact America. 
They don’t even bother trying to hide this shit anymore. What a slap in the face.
Dr. Erica L. Groshen, who was nominated for a four-year term by President Obama on February 16, is herself a former union member and official who describes herself as “nonpartisan.”
Hilda Lucia Solis (; born October 20, 1957) is the 25th United States Secretary of Labor, serving in the Obama administration. She is a member of the Democratic Party and served in the United States House of Representatives from 2001 to 2009, representing the 31st and 32nd congressional districts of California that include East Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley.
A vote on Solis’s committee confirmation was set on February 5, but postponed after news that Solis’s husband Sam Sayyad had just paid $6,400 in outstanding state and local tax liens dating back to 1993 for his auto repair business.[66][67] Sayyad had filed a separate tax return from Solis, and intended to contest the lien as they were for business taxes he believed to have already paid.[68] A White House spokesperson stated Solis should not be penalized for any mistakes that her husband may have made.[66] The revelations came in the wake of several other Obama nominations troubled or derailed due to tax issues.[66] Committee Republicans subsequently indicated they would not blame Solis, but were still concerned about her ties to American Rights at Work.[68] On February 11, 2009, the committee approved her nomination by voice vote with two votes opposed.[69] After still further delays, Republicans agreed not to subject her nomination to a filibuster and on February 24, 2009, Solis was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 80–17.[70] She resigned from the House and was sworn into her new position that evening.[71] (A ceremonial swearing in featuring Vice President Joe Biden was later held on March 13
Conflict Of Interest? Na, Just A Great Journalist….hmmph.
Considering the fact that Obama has anything to do with Martha Raddatz is enough to raise concerns. If the roles were reversed, don’t you think the Obambam camp would be going ape shit?
A new report by The Daily Caller is highlighting ties that President Barack Obama has to Martha Raddatz, the moderator of tomorrow’s vice presidential debate.
According to the report, Obama worked on the Harvard Law Review with Raddatz’s ex-husband, Julius Genachowski. Genachowski was later appointed by Obama as chair of the Federal Communications Commission and invited Obama to his 1991 wedding to Raddatz – details that raise questions about a potential conflict of interest, the Daily Caller suggests.
Does this report raise legitimate concerns about Raddatz? Or is the connection too far removed to be a conflict of interest?
“We selected Martha Raddatz because she is a terrific journalist and will be a terrific moderator and we’re thrilled to have her,” Peter Eyre, an adviser to the Commission, said in a statement. “The notion that that somehow affects her ability is not something we have given a moment’s thought to.”
And Mr. Genachowski was appointed to chair the FCC? And he just happened to be a classmate of Obambam’s? I smell something don’t you….something like seasoned cronyism. These guys are good at it.
