Make Mine Freedom (1948)

A cartoon on Freedom and those who would buy it cheaply, relevant today, but made in 1948.

 

 

You have to watch it at about the 8:30 mark.

How Have The Past Four Years Treated You?

Democrats took hold of the House and Senate in January 2007, and control of the White House in January 2009.  They had a 60 vote majority in the Senate, and could do anything they wanted. 

The only way to fix their incompetence is to sweep as many of them out as possible and send a message that every Democrat hears for fifty years. 

The new one from Ben Howe.

 

Susan Montee Lit Up Like A Lightbulb At Democrat Days

As an auditor, there are two words you want to hear when people describe you.  Serious, and sober. Here's the exception to the rule. 

Democrat Susan Montee, Missouri State Auditor, decides to let us know what she really thinks about good times, donor dollars, and steelworker margaritas. 

In a three minute clip, a very inebriated Montee lets loose, talks about her drinking habits, comes up with some creative fundraising ideas, and generally lets loose. 

 

 

You really do have to watch it all the way through.  My favorites:

This is a very cleaned up version of me.

That is sooooo good! 

Margarita Machine Fundraiser!  Let's get all of our donors drunk!

Not every statewide official will tell you that. 

Don't get me wrong.  I have no problem with people having a drink too many around friends.  But as everyone knows, embarrassing photos and stories and video are going to come out.  That's what makes it fun.

I would give Montee this advice.  We're not laughing with you.  We're laughing at you.

BREAKING UPDATE: Is it possible this video was a campaign commercial?

Susan Montee has a "Happy Hour" fundraising event scheduled for today at her home.

After watching the video, I'd have to say attendance must be skyrocketing.

Heck - I'd give $100 to get to a party like the ones she throws.

 

Hall Of Social Justice: The Demise Of Green Jobs Man

Many of you will recall the blockbuster exploits of the team from the Hall of Social Justice in ACORN Man: Seed of Destiny, and ACORN Man: Clean Up Detail, as well as the critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful ACORN Man: Origins, and The Mazur Files: Dirty Hands.

ACORN Man and his pal, SEI-Ultra have fallen on hard times. SEI-Ultra is now Part-Time Telemarketer Guy, while ACORN Man had to go underground and re-emerge as Green Jobs Man, working on giving out grants for the stimulus plan.

Things were going swimmingly, with a $107 million grant for Missouri wind farms, but all is not as is seems.

Is this the end of the Costumed Crusader for Social Justice?

 

One Nation Working Together Rally Video

I can't swear to the authenticity of this video, but it seems this might be the original draft for a One Nation Working Together Rallying Video.  I hear they brought in some voiceover talent after the fact to tone it down a bit.

 

That would be Mary Kay Henry, on the board of Families USA, and now president of SEIU.

Coloring Books Versus Murder: Selective Outrage At The LA Times

The Post Dispatch has an article about a Los Angeles Times article on a local publisher with a Tea Party coloring book.

The catchy title is Tea Party Coloring Book: kiddie propaganda?

If you want to see kiddie propaganda, head on down to any local library and look for books on climate change.  They're terrible, but then what can you expect of a movement that considers the "science settled," but only after the data is destroyed and trillions are spent enriching "green" corporations like GE, BP, and Goldman Sachs, all big Democratic donors.

Here's what propaganda looks like.  Do something to cut your carbon emissions or we will kill you and your friends.

 

How about a link about that on the Post Dispatch website? The climate wackos are around town this week, in the next few days, we're going to show you what the leaders of these sites really want.  Power over your lives.

 

 

Amerika Trailer (1987)

The internet is a wonderful place.  I was reading a Spiegel series on Churchill, which in an offhand detail mentioned the use of an armored transport called the "Amerika."  I looked it up, and saw the satiric spelling, which some folks use to say America is racist, but also that it's a town in Finland, made up of people trying to emigrate here and not making it.  There are a couple of other towns, and it seems Amerika was actually the name of a State Department project to tell the Russians what it was like to live in the U.S.

And there was a movie.  I don't remember watching this - and it was 1987, so I had nothing else to do.  I actually watched Misfits of Science for goodness sake.   Anyway, this is a trailer for Amerika, a Russian version of America, where the Soviets took over.  Think of it as Red Dawn, ten years later, in the Midwest, without the Wolverines. 

Kris Kristofferson, Sam Neill, Mariel Hemingway, 80's hair styles and fashion... What's not to love?

Some interesting quotes from the movie:

Nobody wanted to risk anything for anybody else. Everybody was afraid they were going to lose what they had. They knew it was bad. They were just afraid it'd get worse. That's all they lived for – for things not to get worse.

And this one:

Totalitarianism doesn't need armies. It only needs to control a couple of things – the media, and the ability to dispense privilege to some, and to withhold it from others. Of course, a weak and divided people helps.

And this one, which is a little scary today:

    When you lose and fail, it is understandable. When you win and fail, that brings madness.

Now if I can just find that show about the terrorists who took a submarine into some Southern Harbor and set off a nuke.  It was kind of like a realty show.  Scary as all get out, even if they did say it was fake at every commercial.

Obama Zombies Prove Republicans Aren't The Only Lame Ones

Republicans can be real lame at times - and the outreach to young voters from Republican campaigns is rarely strong, but the next time that you hear complaints about Republicans, take a look at what young Democrats are doing in their spare time. 

Man I hope they paid a lot of money for that.

In fact, I'd be willing to pitch in a few bucks to get this more airplay.  If someone wants to help, I'll chip in to pay for screenings across all our local campuses.

By all means, let's show those young voters what it's like to be a Democrat.

Zombies are so Gen X.  And everyone knows zombies always lose.  Yes, they keep coming back, but they never, never win.  Now vampires and werewolves? Throw a little glitter on them and they're sexy, baby!

Creepy

I'm working on the video for the latest propaganda attacks from the leftists - both the healthcare and the Chase bank assaults. There's hours and hours to go through, but it will come out next week.  In the meantime, feast your eyes on this creepiness. (below the jump)
