Make Friday a night of protest

I’m not a big blog I don’t have any  kind of readership no one may ever see this but I feel compelled to say and do something.

We as a people must do something. If the Hollywood community does not  withdraw its opposition to the extradition of Roman Polanski to the US to face the consequences of his crime, I suggest we go out on Friday night don’t go to the movies, we avoid them, make a point of it. If you feel brave enough, tell them, by phone or in person, (call you local movie house) you will not visit them that night and tell them why. And if they fight us still we do it again and again and again until they at last understand! This is a line we will not them let cross! A road we will not travel with them! It end here it ends now!!!

In March 1977, the 44-year-old Polanski gave a 13-year-old girl champagne and Quaaludes, then raped her, he did so after she said “no” he did so while she cried and said no, according to the 13 year-old victim’s grand jury testimony. He was convicted of a lesser charge — statutory rape — because he agreed to plead guilty.

This is a link to that testimony.

Polanski spent 42 days in a mental institution for an evaluation. When he was released he thought he was going to get time served and probation, but latter believed that the judge would reject the plea (the Judge has that right) so he fled to France to live a privileged life in his home country. He was arrested this week when he went to Switzerland to receive a lifetime achievement award. 

Who ever defends this man needs to have their picture put on a telephone poll in the neighborhood where they live so parents can keep their children away from them.

“a case of morals.”

That is the phrase used in a petition in support of the release of Roman Polanski who was arrested this week 31 years after fleeing the US to avoid prison for the drugging and rape of a 13 year old girl.

Petition for Roman Polanski
We have learned the astonishing news of Roman Polanski's arrest by the Swiss police on September 26th, upon arrival in Zurich (Switzerland) while on his way to a film festival where he was due to receive an award for his career in filmmaking.
His arrest follows an American arrest warrant dating from 1978 against the filmmaker, in a case of morals.
Filmmakers in France, in Europe, in the United States and around the world are dismayed by this decision. It seems inadmissible to them that an international cultural event, paying homage to one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers, is used by the police to apprehend him.
By their extraterritorial nature, film festivals the world over have always permitted works to be shown and for filmmakers to present them freely and safely, even when certain States opposed this.
The arrest of Roman Polanski in a neutral country, where he assumed he could travel without hindrance, undermines this tradition: it opens the way for actions of which no-one can know the effects.
Roman Polanski is a French citizen, a renown and international artist now facing extradition. This extradition, if it takes place, will be heavy in consequences and will take away his freedom.
Filmmakers, actors, producers and technicians - everyone involved in international filmmaking - want him to know that he has their support and friendship.
On September 16th, 2009, Mr. Charles Rivkin, the US Ambassador to France, received French artists and intellectuals at the embassy. He presented to them the new Minister Counselor for Public Affairs at the embassy, Ms Judith Baroody. In perfect French she lauded the Franco-American friendship and recommended the development of cultural relations between our two countries.
If only in the name of this friendship between our two countries, we demand the immediate release of Roman Polanski.

And these are the names of those who signed it. This should be the end of their careers. Remember who they are, tell them how this is unacceptable, stop them from protecting this pedophile!!!

These are the new morals that the European left wants us to adopt.

You IT guys are always complaining

Just try explaining this to one of you clients

Liar's Tip # 3

Don’t use the same lie to tell different stories, it just doesn’t work

Here we have the President telling the Congressional Black Caucus a story of how a world leader (unnamed) Asked him a question at the G20 summit.

"He says, 'We don't understand it. You're trying to make sure everybody has health care and they're putting a Hitler mustache on you -- I don't -- that doesn't make sense to me. Explain that to me.'"

And here we have the President on Late Night with David Letterman telling the same story in a more general way.

“And when I talk to other world leaders who are paying attention to this argument, and they hear some of this stuff—and these are, in some cases, conservative leaders; they are heads of center-right governments—and they don’t understand why it is that Americans would not want to set up a system that would save them money over time, would work better, would make people healthier,” the president said.

So Someone (unnamed) asked a question at the G20 and Obama told the CBC about it, then he told the nation on the Letterman show…

No the Letterman show was before the G20 summit. The story is an old standard (insert subject matter of the day) use by the left. It is used most often to imply that we Americans are backwards and need to adopt more of the “liberal thinking” of our European betters. I knew this when he made it up on the Letterman show and I knew it when he made it up for the CBC

Is it live?

or is it Obama

Watch his smile, it never changes, ever. Never bigger for one or small for another, that’s just creepy.

Dodging bullets

Looks like we dodged a big one this week with the arrest of several people around the nation including 2 who parked what they thought were bombs in front of their intended targets  in Dallas and Chicago

"He stood out based on his vehement intention to actually conduct terror attacks in the United States," FBI supervisory special agent Thomas Petrowski wrote in the affidavit.

The targets…

With this and the New York and Denver busts and the Stadium warnings you can see we are still in a war and the bad guys really do want to hurt us.  We are lucky to have great people, the smartest and bravest, serving us in law enforcement and the military, they are the one who keep the war far from home.

Lets shoot some pool

A picture is worth

Well I don’t know what the Chinese word for words is but you get the picture

Do they know?

I’m watching the Emmys because I’m too lazy to change the channel. I was wondering if the presenters doing this show know that the jokes they’re reading are the dumbest most unfunny things ever written. Who writes this stuff and why would anyone let them near a pen?

 

I'm turning it off now.

A report from the Clintonized zone

Oh the horrors, the inhumanity, can we as a nation ever move beyond this heinous act?

U.S. Condemned For Pre-Emptive Use Of Hillary Clinton Against Pakistan

This from the Onion (its fake news, satire) HT: HotAir

Now we know the price

Not long ago former President Bill Clinton went to North Korea and retrieve two captured US  journalist. We were told this was a no string attached deal, a gift, a thank you to Clinton for taking the time to pose in a photo with the “Great Leader”. I knew and many others knew this was not the case, We knew a price would have to be paid, today we know that price.

US Shifts Policy, Willing to Meet 1-on-1 With North Korea

The US shifted its policy today, saying it is now willing to meet one on one with North Korea if that is helpful to bring Pyongyang back to the nuclear negotiations.

Well it appears this is so helpful that North Korea is planning a third nuclear test

North Korea leader Kim Jong Il told his top military and party officials last month to prepare for another nuclear weapons test in the event the U.S. continues to pressure North Korea and reject its attempts at starting dialogue,

Sounds good, but

Independent Safeguarding Authority

If you live in the UK you now need a license to drive your neighbors kids to the boy scouts on Fridays.

It is the first time the true scope has been revealed and will cover even those with the briefest of contact with children.

-Snip-

A Home Office spokesman said the rules for parents were "a commonsense approach", adding: "The UK already has one of the most advanced systems in the world for carrying out checks on all those who work in positions of trust with children and vulnerable adults.

"Set up in the wake of the Soham murders, the new Vetting and Barring Scheme will, from October this year, ensure these regulations are even more rigorous."

A stolen paragraph

A quote from a comment on HotAir.com from MB4

The Race Card is the most rapid-fire all purpose psy-ops weapon of mass deception ever conceived by man. It can be fired by even the otherwise untrainable and, in fact, is especially suited for repeated use by them. It has no reason. It has little rhyme. It has no expiration date. It doesn’t even appear to have a half life.There are those who theorize that It may continue to exist indefinitely in some form even after time itself has come to an end.

Of course we have our own catch-all term… Communist

But at least we can provide the evidence to back it up.

Obama gets a talking too

Old school TV reminds a 21st century president about the greatness of the country he leads.

why does it need to come to this?

Is that what it’s called these days?

'reproductively focused'

Photo MySpace spammers

What are your kids learning these days?

The opening is a bit over the top but you’ll soon forget about that.
