The Left & Stephen King Continue to Disrespect the Military … “if you can read … then you’ve got, the Army, Iraq”

Why does the LEFT hate our brave men and women of the military.

This should not come as any surprise, the LEFT enjoys to make fun of and disrespect the military. Stephen King is the latest to shoot off his liberal tongue and disrespect the very people who fight and die so that King can be afforded the rights of free speech and be a multi-millionaire. What a shock, another rich left celebrity shooting off their mouth about something they know nothing about. Simply shameful.

Why does the LEFT hate the military? The very people who die to protect their way of life. Come this Fall, voters best remember that the President is also The Commander and Chief of the military.

WATCH the video here.

“I don’t want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don’t, then you’ve got, the Army, Iraq, I don’t know, something like that. It’s, it’s not as bright. So, that’s my little commercial for that.”

Excuse me Mr. King but who is the ignorant person here? Have you ever met or spoke to any of our brave men and women in the military? I didn’t think so.

The Rightwing News reminds us that this is just one in a long line of liberals that relish in making condescending comments about our military. Remember former, failed Democratic President wannabe John Kerry who made the following disastrous gaffe.

You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq. …”

Stephen King is also ignorant to the facts of who makes up the military.

Remembering our troops answer to John Kerry and all those who are so misguided.

 Greetings From Irak … Please Halp Us

Something Wasn’t Wright: Why Oprah Winfrey Left Rev. Wrights Church … Didn’t Want to Offend Audience, then Why Did Obama Want to?

OPRAH … Something wasn’t Wright.

How is it that Oprah saw and heard the hateful message in Wright’s sermons, but Barack Obama did not? By all accounts this means that there is no way that Barack Obama could not have been present for a hate filled, racist preaching by Rev Wright. How could Oprah see it and Obama not?

Friends say she was blindsided by the pastor’s personal assault on Obama. Why, Wright hates all who do not bow down before him.

If Barack Obama thinks that the Revered Wright controversy is going to go away any time soon, he best think again. Obama has been continually asked, how could anyone for 20 years sit through Wright’s sermons and not get offended. How could anyone sit by, especially some one with political aspirations and think that this was the wrong message to associate with? Obama will be compared to Oprah, who in the 1990’s said no to the church and to Wright. 

For any spiritually minded, up-wardly mobile African-American living in Chicago in the mid-1980s, the Trinity United Church of Christ was—and still is—the place to be.

In a Newsweek article, associates of Oprah Winfrey tell why she left the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. To no one’s surprise her main issue for leaving was Reverend Wright and the tone of his sermons.

A major reason—but by no means the only reason—was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

According to two sources, Winfrey was never comfortable with the tone of Wright’s more incendiary sermons, which she knew had the power to damage her standing as America’s favorite daytime talk-show host. “Oprah is a businesswoman, first and foremost,” said one longtime friend, who requested anonymity when discussing Winfrey’s personal sentiments. “She’s always been aware that her audience is very mainstream, and doing anything to offend them just wouldn’t be smart. She’s been around black churches all her life, so Reverend Wright’s anger-filled message didn’t surprise her. But it just wasn’t what she was looking for in a church.”

Is there a difference between a TV audience and an electorate? Not really. In both cases, one certainly does not want to offend the masses and main stream America. Especially when you are Obama, who claims to have a message of inclusiveness Oprah saw that not only was Wright a problem, so was his message. That is code for … what is this crazy person spewing and why would I want to be connected in any way to this. Interestingly enough, Oprah knew that by going to this church, she would be connected to the hateful message that Wright was talking and have to answer for it. If Oprah saw this, why didn’t Obama?

Why did Barack Obama attend Trinity? He needed to go to church to find his identity as an “African-American and, more importantly, as an African-American man”. That’s why one goes to church? I always thought it was to enhance your relationship with God and to declare that Jesus Christ had dies for your sins and was your Lord and Savior.

“[His] reasons for attending Trinity were totally different,” said one campaign adviser, who declined to be named discussing the Illinois senator’s sentiments. “Early on, he was in search of his identity as an African-American and, more importantly, as an African-American man. Reverend Wright and other male members of the church were instrumental in helping him understand the black experience in America. Winfrey wasn’t going for that. She’s secure in her blackness, so that didn’t have a hold on her.”

However, once secure in his blackness and no longer politically expedient to use … Barack Obama finally divorces himself from Rev. Wright.

Actor Wesley Snipes Given 3 Years For Tax Evasion …. Prisoner 57

This time the rich, powerful and elite did not elude justice. Wesley Snipes will soon be learning in prison if “White Men Can Jump” as he was sentenced to a maximum of 3 years on tax evasion.

Snipes was the highest-profile criminal tax target in years, and prosecutors called for a heavy sentence to deter others from trying to obstruct the IRS. The government alleged Snipes made at least $13.8 million for the years in question and owed $2.7 million in back taxes.

Maybe this will be a sign of things to come that people of privilege and wealth cannot evade the law. Now its up to future juries to stop being star struck by people they perceive as important. It looks like Prisoner 57 will be headed off to prison, not a Hollywood set. Think the judge was not upset that Snipes had dodged the fraud charges against him?

Wesley Snipes called on famous friends to vouch for him, highlighted his clean criminal record and even wrote the government $5 million in checks — all in an effort to convince a judge that his conviction on tax charges should cost him nothing more than home detention and some public service announcements.

None of it worked. The “Blade” actor was ordered to do hard time.
Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison Thursday for failing to file tax returns, the maximum penalty — and a victory for prosecutors who sought to make an example of the action star. (FOX News)

Luke Mullins of The Collar provides us with some comforting new that all the spin and BS from Hollywood could not save Snipe’s bacon. Hollywood certainly has a distorted definition of character and integrity.

Charlton Heston, Hollywood Giant and American Acting Icon Passes Away at the Age of 84

1924 – 2008

Rest in Eternal Peace

Today I awoke to hear the sad news of the passing of one of my favorite actors and persons of all time, Charlton Heston. A man who not only talked the talk, but walked the walk. On screen he stood up to the power of Egypt, Rameses and Pharaoh as Moses and led his people out of bondage.

Heston as Moses in The Ten Commandment: Hear and obey! Let my people go!”

In real life, he stood up to the liberal Hollywood agenda and voiced his opinions and stance on the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms. His conservative views on the right to bear arms was hardly a popular one on the Left Coast and Hollywood. No one can ever forget the NRA speech and his famous 5 words … “from my cold dead hands”.

One thing is for certain, they rarely make them like Charlton Heston any more. Charlton Heston was a true hero and American icon. Heston had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease in recent years. Today, he is in a much better place. Our selfish loss is heavens gain. Mr. Heston, may the peace of the lord be with you, may you rest in eternal peace. God bless you.

Charlton Heston, the Hollywood legendary actor, civil rights leader, political activist and former President of the NRA has sadly passed away at the age of 84. Charlton Heston was known to all and was a larger than life. Heston had taken part in such legendary films as The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, Planet of the Apes, El Cid, Julius Ceasar, Midway, The Agony and the Ecstasy, The Greatest Story Ever Told and one of my favorite sleeper sci-fi films of all times Soylent Green. The too numerous to list movies he acted in list as a who’s who in film history. They just did not make them any more in Hollywood like Charlton Heston. He was a true original.

 From The Ten Commandments – Parting of the Red Sea

Statement by the Family of Charlton Heston

Charlton Heston was best known to generation after generation of people for his portrayal of Moses in Cecile B. DeMille’s, The Ten Commandments, on every year at Easter/Pass Over. However, it was the epic movie Ben-Hur where Heston won an Academy Award for best actor.

Hollywood legend Charlton Heston dead at 84

Heston, known for portrayals of larger than life figure including Moses and Ben Hur, was suffering the late stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

Heston’s wife of 64 years, Lydia, was at his side at the time of his death, according to the family statement.

Comments from other bloggers regarding the passing of Charlton Heston:

• The Astute Blogger: CHARLTON HESTON: RIP
• The American Mind: Charlton Heston Dead at 84
• The Jawa Report: Hollywood Just Got 100% Worse
• Michelle Malkin: Sunday meditation: Tribute to Charlton Heston
• The Q and O Blog: ”Moses” gone to the Promised Land 
• Wizbang: Charlton Heston dead at 84

UPDATE I: Charlton Heston, Epic Film Star and Voice of N.R.A., Dies at 84

The same quality made Mr. Heston an effective spokesman, off-screen, for the causes he believed in. Late in life he became a staunch opponent of gun control. Elected president of the National Rifle Association in 1998, he proved to be a powerful campaigner against what he saw as the government’s attempt to infringe on a Constitutional guarantee — the right to bear arms.

In Mr. Heston, the N.R.A. found its embodiment of pioneer values — pride, independence and valor. In a speech at the N.R.A.’s annual convention in 2000, he brought the audience to its feet with a ringing attack on gun-control advocates. Paraphrasing an N.R.A. bumper sticker (“I’ll give you my gun when you take it from my cold, dead hands”) he waved a replica of a colonial musket above his head and shouted defiantly, “From my cold, dead hands!”

Vogue: Lebron James and Gisele Bundchen Cover … King Kong & Faye Wray … Racially Insensitive … Get a Life!

File this one under … Racism, you have got to be joking … Get a Life!

VOGUE … racially insensitive cover? The only racism that needs to be addressed is by those who seemingly read into and see racism where there is none. We really must start questioning those who cry racism at the drop of a hat. There is real racism that exists, this is not it!

It is simply amazing and disgusting how some people can only see the negative in life. One would think they want to for ulterior motives. When I look at this cover, I see the Odd Couple. I see two people who have made it to the top of their careers at such a young age, have more money and popularity than they know what to do with and have made their mark in two diversely different ways. Both driven in their own ways … both at the top of their game, Gisele with beauty and looks and Lebron with a body that most men would die for and the skills that have made him deserving of the name, King James.

(NBA superstar Lebron James & super model Gisele Bundchen)

There comes a point and time where some people just need to stop their racism agenda. The latest so-called “racially insensitive” call to arms is the recent Vogue cover with NBA basketball phenom Lebron James and super model Gisele Bundchen. King James is actually the first black man to ever grace its cover. However, in the world we live in where some one always seems to find a racially motivated conspiracy in every thing … a controversy has erupted comparing the Vogue cover to that of King Kong and Fay Wray.

(Yea, I get the two pics confused all the time)

But the image is stirring up controversy, with some commentators decrying the photo as perpetuating racial stereotypes. James strikes what some see as a gorilla-like pose, baring his teeth, with one hand dribbling a ball and the other around Bundchen’s tiny waist.

It’s an image some have likened to King Kong and Fay Wray.

“It conjures up this idea of a dangerous black man,” said Tamara Walker, 29, of Philadelphia. (USA Today)

This ridiculous stupidity stems from an ESPN story by Jemele Hill who stated the following:

A black athlete being reduced to a savage is, sadly, nothing new. But this cover gave you the double-bonus of having LeBron and Gisele strike poses that others in the blogosphere have noted draw a striking resemblance to the racially charged image of King Kong enveloping his very fair-skinned lady love interest.

LeBron is just the third male ever to appear on Vogue’s cover, but it’s hard to believe Vogue would have made Brett Favre, Steve Nash or even David Beckham strike his best beast pose. And even if Vogue had, it wouldn’t carry the same racial undertones as having a fear-inducing black man paired with a dainty damsel.

Too often, black athletes are presented as angry, overly aggressive and overly sexual. Or sometimes, they’re just plain emasculated.

(Faye Wray … Funny, Gisele seems to be smiles ear to ear)

That’s correct. You heard that right. The cover of Lebron James and Gisele Bundchen is being compared to King Kong and Fay Wray. What are some people thinking and what is their agenda? Maybe some one would like to ask Jemele Hill, who is black, why she sees racism where there is none. How can any one look at a simple magazine cover and describe it as another form of racism against black? Unfortunately, there is obviously racism that still occurs in the 21st century; however, this is not it. When people constantly cry wolf and make absurd comments, they diminish the acts of real racism.

People have been suspended and even fired from their jobs for making racist or what were perceived as racist comments. One has to wonder why ESPN would not do the same with Jemele Hill’s attempt at calling something racist when it was not. Even many black activists saw nothing wrong with the cover. In fact, one might think that this was a break though milestone as Lebron James was the first black man ever to be on the cover.

Why should be be wary of this ESPN article by Jemele Hill? Because she manages to evoke the super Democratic, all loving, all knowing, all caring, above racism and ignorance candidate Barack Obama. Why is it surprising that race and Obama’s name would come up again so soon? Does Miss Hill attend the same type of church that Obama did and does as well?

“It’s like Barack Obama said in his much-talked about speech on race Tuesday. We know so little about one another. Even scarier, we know even less about the fallout of racist history”.
