The Pink Flamingo

The Growing (Un)Civil Political Wars on the Left & the Right

EXTREMES HARMING BOTH PARTIES

Do you really want a Republican President who is so beholdin' to special interests and so weak, when ultra conservatives wave their little pinkie he jumps in terror? Evidently this is what the likes of Malkin, Ingraham, Limbaugh, and the little tyrannical twits of the right want from John McCain. Joseph Farrah of World Net Daily has gone so far with his little temper tantrum as to commission a poll about it. If you look at the poll, it is amazing how unfairly Farrah plays to prove his nasty little point, but then no ...

“You Tell Them I’m Coming, and Hell’s Coming With Me”

MY VENDETTA RIDE

A well known conspiracy-theory writer, Michael Piper Collins took offense to a piece I wrote about Jerome Corsi. I cited and did a copy/paste of an SPLC entry about Jerome Corsi appearing on The Political Cesspool. The paragraphs I cited are below:

"...Perhaps Corsi’s most telling appearance, however, has been on The Political Cesspool, an overtly racist, anti-Semitic radio show hosted by self-avowed white nationalist James Edwards. Corsi was interviewed on the Cesspool on July 20 and is scheduled to appear again this Sunday, August 17, joining a recent guest roster that has included Christian Identity pastor ...

Jerome Corsi Swiftboating Obama & The GOP at the Same Time

THE GREAT CORSI CON

Barack Obama's camp is getting a little nervous. They are working to submit yet another new slogan. John McCain is hammering him. He needs to be concentrating on Barack Obama, not answering questions about Conservatives Gone Wild. My previous post features a round up of the goings on with Jerome Corsi and his little book about Barack Obama. He is one of the problem conservatives. These people seem to have slipped a cog somewhere and are no longer residing, not just in the 'real world' but the same planet as the rest of us. They don't ...

ICE Allows Another Detainee to Die in Agony

THE DEATH OF HUMANITY

Imagine being in a system where you are assigned an upper bunk, but are dying from cancer, and need to be assisted to get up and down three times a day for a head count. Imagine not being allowed to have pain killers for the cancer that had invaded your spine because you were too sick to go stand in line for them to be given to you. Imagine losing well over 100 pounds, going for help and being told you were faking. Imagine not being able to talk to your lawyer because you were too ...

John McCain Is a Political Genius!

I AM IN AWE

For the past few days I've been listening to the usual conservative sources (as in "round up the usual sources") once again turn Lindsey into the demonic entity akin to the Black Death. They are also trying to promote the idea that Lindsey has turned on John McCain. I know Lindsey. The other day I read something in the fine print about promoting nuclear energy. Anyone who knows Lindsey, South Carolina and Nuclear Energy knows the game's afoot.

Not only have they introduced a halfway decent energy proposal, but Lindsey has turned into "bad ...

The Malicious Duplicity of Rush Limbaugh

ENTERTAINMENT OR AN AGENDA?

This week Human Events is honoring Rush Limbaugh. Mark Levin has a Human Events column that can only be described as nothing but abject fawning, gushing, and outright worship. I am fully aware of Limbaugh’s good points. He is well known for his charitable work, and he donates a tremendous amount of money to very worth-while causes. He is one of the single largest donors to leukemia research. For that, I am personally grateful. His donations may have been the tipping point in the medical research that is keeping my cousin Jim alive (and maybe even ...

The False (Conservative) Unpopularity of John McCain

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 20:08:00 -0600

CONSERVATIVES HATE HIM?

When is a conservative not a Republican? Are the one in the same? Or....can they be completely different party animals?

I have an article over on Right Pundits that is basically an edited version of one I posted on The Pink Flamingo last week. I am pointing it out simply because of the extreme way over the top comments by Ron Paul supporters who consider themselves the minion army of their savior, Ron Paul, who is going to be the GOP version of Barack Obama. If only the extreme, very evil, and very stupid Republicans would dump ...

Some Conservatives Are A Loser for the GOP

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 17:56:00 -0600

THEY WILL NEVER LEARN!

How long is it going to take for Republicans to figure out that they are REPUBLICANS FIRST and conservatives second? Let's face it, the reason the GOP looks so bad and the reasons our candidates have been on this wonderful losing spree is because they were so darn busy pandering to hard line non Republican conservatives. There are any number of special interests out there who are conservative. I'm a "normal" conservative, but I am a Republican first. Maybe that's the term we need "normal" conservative as opposed to Reagan Revisionist Conservatives who wax poetic about ...

Laura Ingraham Unvarnished

SJ Reidhead — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:48:00 -0600

LAURA'S MISFORTUNE

I know it isn't nice to laugh at someone's misfortune. I don't like Laura Ingraham any more than I like Ann Coulter or any of the other precious little conservative "witches". I think she is one of those conservatives who is not Republican and has done great damage to the GOP. I also don't mind admitting I think she was one of those responsible for the GOP's loss of the House and Senate in 2006. The thing is, the GOP isn't as bad as Ingraham, Limbaugh, and Hannity say it is. Let's just be honest and give them ...

SOME CONSERVATIVES JUST DON'T GET IT

REPUBLICANS

When I hear conservatives wax poetic against John McCain, and some conservatives who swear up and down they are anti-abortion and yet plan to vote for Barack Obama (I'm related to at least one) I mention two words: Stevens & Ginsburg. If they aren't bright enough to figure out to whom I am referring, then there isn't much hope and they are true, clueless Barack Obama voters.

But - then there are the conservatives who do get it and are still determined to do everything in their power to insure ...

Run Conservative for the Nomination, Then Go Moderate to Win

THE KID’S TABLE?

The Reagan Mythological Makers like to wax poetic about how Ronald Reagan won as a conservative, wooing conservative Democrats to his side. Fact is, it didn’t happen that way. He won over Democrats for two reasons. First, Jimmy Carter, his opponent was the most incompetent and worst President in US history. The other reason – he waged one of the most positive campaigns in modern history.

Do you see the word “conservative” in these ads? It isn’t needed. Reagan offered something positive. He did not offer change. He was himself, much the same way John McCain is ...
