RANT RAV!NGS 2013 - Righting societal atrocities...since 1981.

Moran the Moron

 

What about that civility that Obama called for awhile back? Shouldn't we fully expect the President to denounce Moran's attacks on this veteran?

Rush's Stand for Airwave Freedom

In the latest issue of the Wall Street Journal, Rush Limbaugh writes an excellent, informed editorial on the threat of a government take-over of talk radio.

It's definitely worth a read, as Rush tackles an impending issue that will be addressed one way...or the other.

Here's an excerpt:

Mr. President, we both know that this new effort at regulating speech is not about diversity but conformity. It should be rejected. You've said you're against reinstating the Fairness Doctrine, but you've not made it clear where you stand on possible regulatory efforts to impose so-called local content, diversity-of-ownership, and public-interest rules that your FCC could issue.

I do not favor content-based regulation of National Public Radio, newspapers, or broadcast or cable TV networks. I would encourage you not to allow your office to be misused to advance a political vendetta against certain broadcasters whose opinions are not shared by many in your party and ideologically liberal groups such as Acorn, the Center for American Progress, and MoveOn.org. There is no groundswell of support behind this movement. Indeed, there is a groundswell against it.

There's much more in the full article over at WSJ Online.

Update: Mary Landrieu's Voicemail is Full

DEVELOPING: A new report in shows that Sen. Harry Reid has officially tried to buy Louisiana, through a provision in the health care bill to lend $100,000 in support to disaster relief in our state.

Of course, this is all a deceitful ploy to garner Mary Landrieu's vote.

As of press time, there has been no confirmation that Landrieu has taken the bait, but it seems to only be a matter of time.

Sen. Landrieu has ducked all of Rant Rav!ngs calls all day.

First the line was busy (which meant that either she was getting a huge backlash, or she just took the phone off the hook).

Our most recent attempt has been met with the whole "all circuits are busy" farce.

But we will continue to pound the ever present dial tone, and we suggest all members of the Pelican state do so as well.

Here's her digits: 202-224-5824.

I shudder to think that our state would play a part in destroying the Constitution.

Mary Landrieu's Voicemail is Full

"The mailbox belonging to Senator Mary Landrieu, Louisiana, is full. Goodbye."

Looks like my fellow Louisianians acted on the following E-Mail, set today from Roger Villere, Chairman of the LA GOP:

"Please contact Mary Landrieu today and tell her that you support common sense incremental health care reform but Obama’s risky plans are not the answer.

 

The Democrats are rushing their proposal to increase costs, increase taxes, cut Medicare and put a government bureaucrat between you and your doctor through the Senate and the time to act is now.

 

Yesterday, Mary Landireu met with Senator Harry Reid and WWL reported late last night that Landrieu would make her position clear TODAY.

 

This may be our last opportunity to tell Mary Landrieu how Louisiana feels about Obama’s misguided government-run health care scheme.

 

Call Landrieu at 202-224-5824 today!"

Now the ol' Miss Piggy has made it known that she's against the bill, but just to keep her in check, we are going to reinforce the fact that our position has changed either.

Mission accomplished...for now.

PALIN: Excerpt from "Going Rogue"

Earlier today Matt Drudge released an excerpt from Sarah Palin's new book, "Going Rouge: An American Life" (which I previously reported on here.

Since Drudge's content changes so rapidly, I wanted to post it here in case it get bumped for something else. In this sampling of chapter four, Sarah talks about when she first discovered the McCain campaign's tight leash around her neck:

Going Rogue: An American Life
by Sarah Palin
Chapter Four; Section 8, pages 255-257

By the third week in September, a “Free Sarah” campaign was under way and the press at large was growing increasingly critical of the McCain camp’s decision to keep me, my family and friends back home, and my governor’s staff all bottled up. Meanwhile, the question of which news outlet would land the first interview was a big deal, as it always is with a major party candidate.

Power to the Palin

If you watch closely, liberals will tell you whom their most afraid of.

Whoever they unleash their viscous attack dogs on is usually the culprit.

Not John McCain.

Not Mitt Romney.

Not Mike Huckabee.

Sarah Palin?

Bingo.

Ever since the presidential campaign, character assassins have targeted Palin and her family, firing rounds of hatred and vitriol. 

But with dignity and grace, the conservative former governor of Alaska has kept her character afloat.

And now she writes to tell about it.

Going Rogue: An American Life hits bookstore shelves on November 17, and is already lighting up best-seller charts online (over a month before release).

As she prepares to once again rise to prominence on the national scene, the wolves are beginning to growl.

Good thing Sarah is packing a shotgun.

Why So Socialist?

A serious war has broken out on the web over two spoofs featuring our current and past presidents.

Some recent hoodlums in California have gone on a crime spree, as in "insulting the President" crime.

A poster showing President Barack Obama as Heath Ledger's "Joker" character from "The Dark Knight" is creating a stir on the streets of Los Angeles where the image began appearing over the weekend.

The Obama-Joker poster shows President Obama with white face paint, dark eye shadow and smudged red lipstick and also has the word "socialism" printed in bold, dark letters under the image of his face.

New GM CEO Knows Nothing About Cars

Well, this is about right...

Edward E. Whitacre Jr. built AT&T Inc. into the biggest U.S. provider of telephone service over a 43-year-career. By his own admission, he becomes chairman of General Motors Corp. knowing nothing about the auto industry.

The 6-foot-4-inch Texan nicknamed “Big Ed” said steering the nation’s largest automaker after bankruptcy is “a public service.” People who know him say he can meet GM’s need for the type of transformation he orchestrated at Dallas-based AT&T.

“I don’t know anything about cars,” Whitacre, 67, said yesterday in an interview after his appointment. “A business is a business, and I think I can learn about cars. I’m not that old, and I think the business principles are the same.”

Change We Never Imagined

Editor's Note: Today, we feature a post by Matt Barber, a syndicated columnist for The Liberty Counsel:

Well, the high-sheen veneer and cult-of-personality euphoria surrounding America's new oratory endowed president looks to be dissolving rather quickly. While millions had hoped for a political "messiah," it's fast becoming evident that, instead, we've stuck ourselves with an extreme leftist ideologue whose brand of "change we can believe in" is, in fact, "change we never imagined." (Sorry to burst the Barack bandwagon bubble, but I say it like I see it.)

The examples are piling up in terms of the radical pro-abortion polices he's planning to implement, the many-times-failed Marxist fiscal policies he's promised to test yet again, and – relative to his national security goals – the noxiously naive peacenik policies that have Mahmoud and Osama giggling themselves to sleep at night.

But on issues involving marriage, family and sexual morality, Obama's been even more brazen than some of his most ardent detractors could have expected.  Literally within minutes after he took the oath of office, the official White House webpage was updated – under the heading of "The Agenda: Civil Rights" – to detail his wholesale "support for the LGBT (homosexual activist) community."

Obama Lust Soars as Immaculation Day Nears

 

On the eve of Inaugaration Immaculation Day, Obamamania soars to a new height, er low.
