Status Update

I’m back in New Jersey now.  My wife has suggested that we retreat here, away from the scene of my sinful attraction to lustful strumpetry.  She also doesn’t want me to post on this blog as much for a few days.  Overexposure to leftist ideology is having a deleterious effect on my spiritual and moral well-being.  So, please bear with me if I’m somewhat sporadic in posting this week.

 Consider this an open thread.  I’ll give you a topic:  was “Devil’s Advocate” a degenerate, depraved piece of liberal filth, or was it a deeply Christian film demonstrating the moral failings of secular humanism?  Discuss.

Michelle Malkin Sings

Michelle Malkin, the firecracker of the web, and The Ventilators grace us with a song:

While I don’t always agree with her, most of the time she is spot on.  And the little lady sure can sing!

And she can cheer.

Honestly, what can’t she do?

B4B Rap

I’m sadly afraid that we’re not reaching some of you young folk. So thanks to nobody for the inspiration, here’s the B4B rap. Let me know if you’d like it on a t-shirt.

B4B is the place to be
If you’re a dirty lovin’ hippie
you’d be huggin’ a tree.

You left wing losers should just take a hike
instead of voting Hil’ry you should vote for Mike.

Sisyphus is the great grandmaster
Turnin’ you libs into arbalaster.

Sam Brown’s jiggy like yesterday’s lunch
you use a bad word and he gives you a crunch.

Why don’t you libtards just darn grow up?
The comments you leave make us all throw up.

Maybe if you learned how to use your brain
you wouldn’t be stomped hard by Marty McPain.

BJ Tabor can rock the house
People try to diss him but he’s got ya’ nowse.

Elephant Bones, got nuttin to say.
Ask all his friends, they’ll tell you he’s gay.

Arn really likes them jazz cigarettes
But when he writes comments it’s like tourettes.

Lyssie B.’s ev’ryone’s favorite girl.
Give her a rock, she’ll say it’s a pearl.

Spacebrother is a Ron Paul freak,
Meet him in life and you’ll find him a geek.

Big Bob Corker can debate like a man
When he’s done, and you’re beat, empty out your brain pan.

Relee is our favorite dude.
He’s really got one mean lovin’ attitude.

Faithmouse is a superior strip,
And I’m not sayin’ that ’cause Dan sent us a tip!

Break it down!

(breakbeat drum solo)

Whir it up!

Psycheout’s here right on the mike,
He’s got nothin’ to hate, ev’rything to like.

B4B rap time is done
If you don’t like it, I’m sorry, son.

Yo. Work it out.

Are we hip now? Is this thing on?

No Arms, No Legs, No Olympics

I must say that I applaud the I.A.A.F.’s decision to not allow the Olympics to be turned into a carnival freakshow.  This is good news for sports fans.

Track and field’s world governing body ruled on Monday that Oscar Pistorius, a double-amputee sprinter from South Africa, is not be eligible to compete in Olympic qualifying events.

And who wants to watch folks without arms and legs competing against normal people?  Besides, those who think it would be fair don’t have a leg to stand on.

The International Association of Athletics Federations explained in a statement that, after an independent scientific study, it deemed Pistorius’s state-of-the-art carbon fiber prosthetics “should be considered as technical aids which give him an advantage over other athletes not using them.”

Exactly.  I say let the free market decide.  If there’s a demand for a freakshow circus style Olympics where deformed people and steroid and PCP users are allowed to compete, someone will obviously start such a competition up.  There is the Special Olympics, after all.

It’s also true that if deformed people are allowed in the normal Olympics, people will be repulsed and will shut off their sets.  It’s a wise business decision to exclude mutants and drug users from competition.  Besides, these people should be pitied, not exploited.

I will not be served if I enter a restaurant without conforming to their rules: no shirt, no shoes, no service.  Therefore it is reasonable to require that athletes also maintain minimal standards in order to compete.  No arms, no legs, no Olympics.  I’m glad the Olympics has decided to put its foot down regarding this issue.

What say you?

Moonbat Tasered for Taunting Moonbat

Kudos to the kid for disrupting Kerry. Kudos to the police for disrupting the kid. This is America, and this kind of public disorderliness is not to be tolerated. Even if it’s a Democrat traitor you’re doing it to.

Consider this an open thread.

Ha ha, Treefrogs!

You leftist morons don’t even get to stay in your own unGodly pathetic excuses for countries anymore.

President Gen. Pervez Musharraf defied Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Monday, sending commandos to the airport and tossing out a bitter rival hours after he returned from exile in hopes of a making political comeback and opposing the military leader.

Kudos to Musharraf for sending that pathetic tree-and-terrorist hugger packing. But wait, it gets better- Sharif is also a crook:

Not long after he arrived from London to cheers from supporters accompanying him on the plane, Sharif was charged with corruption and money-laundering and bundled away by police from the airport VIP lounge. Four hours after landing, he was on a special flight to Saudi Arabia.

His unceremonious departure for the country where he had been exiled in 2000 scuttled his plans for a grand homecoming to campaign against the U.S.-allied Musharraf’s bid for election to a new presidential term amid growing public resentment over military rule.

Public reaction is about what you’d expect from the Green Party here- pointless grandstanding and public disorder, as Pakistan’s Hippies took to the streets.

Clashes broke out Monday between security forces and Sharif supporters who attempted to greet him at the airport.

Police blockaded roads with trucks, tractors and barbed wire. They fired tear gas and Sharif supporters threw rocks in at least two locations near Islamabad and a bridge on the main highway leading to the capital from Pakistan’s northwest frontier. Several people were injured at each clash, Associated Press reporters said.

Protests were called for Tuesday, and a hard-line Islamic coalition allied with Sharif said it would join the demonstrations.

Amusing. But the bottom line is, Musharraf has helped America combat terrorism at great personal and professional risk. Johnny-come-lately leftards who only abetted Osama and Saddam when they had the chance, are not America’s finest friends in the struggle against terrorism and Islamism.

Sin Kills

In the tell-us-something-we-don’t-already-know department: sin is hazardous to your health. No kidding.

The toll of high-octane lifestyles pursued on a tide of popular acclaim is charted in research published today showing successful rock and pop stars are twice as likely as the rest of us to die an early death.

Just look back on our extensive Lindsay Lohan coverage to see a train wreck of sin and debauchery in slow motion. It’s not a pretty sight.

Alcohol, drugs, accidents and violence are the chief perils but as rock stars age, cancer and heart disease pose an increasing threat to abused bodies and shrivelled livers. The risk is highest in the five years after they first achieve fame, the researchers say. The findings are based on more than 1,000 North American and European musicians who shot to fame over the past 50 years. All of them featured in the All Time Top 1,000 Albums, selected in 2000.

What great role models these perverts are to our children!

In all, 100 of the stars died between 1956 and 2005. The average age of death was 42 for the North American stars and 35 for the European ones. Drugs and alcohol contributed to at least two-thirds of the deaths.

Naturally sin contributed to 100% of these deaths, a fact somehow overlooked by this study. And it’s not surprising that the average age was lower for decadent Europe. First of all, Europe is dying. There’s no doubt about that. The life expectancy of a European is similar to those dying in Africa. Also the concentration of sin and evil atheism in European “entertainment” is unmatched anywhere in the world. And everyone knows the birthplace of evil is Germany, the spawning ground of both World Wars.

However, there is light at the end of the tunnel – at least for European stars. Their risk of dying returned to the same level as the general population 25 years after they achieved fame – provided they survived that long. North American stars however, continued to suffer higher death rates.

Trying to find a silver lining, are we? I think the bright side is obvious. The faster these sinners die off, the better off the world is. Of course there is a dark side. The media glamorizes the filth of these sinners as if their lifestyle is hip and cool. Today’s celebrity lifestyle is a one-way ticket to everlasting damnation in hell. It is not to be emulated. By anyone.

“Pop stars can suffer high levels of stress in environments where alcohol and drugs are widely available, leading to health-damaging risk behaviour. However, their behaviour can also influence would-be stars and devoted fans. Collaborations between health and music industries should focus on improving both pop stars’ health and their image as role models to wider populations,” they say.

Now the bad news.

One in 10 children in the UK aspires to become a pop star, the authors said, confirmed by the numbers applying to take part in shows like X Factor.

One in ten lost in the UK alone. No wonder the Old World is dying. Turn off the TV and burn those horrible CDs your children collect like maggots in the dumpster.

As to rock and pop stars dropping like flies: good riddance to bad rubbish.

Lindsay Lohan, Hollyweird Addict, Lucks Out

Looks like another Hollyweird role model for misguided youth got lucky. Lindsay Lohan cops a plea. If this were you or me I doubt we’d be so lucky. But then we’re not exhibitionist sinners, are we?

Lindsay Lohan reached a plea deal Thursday on misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges that calls for her to spend one day in jail and serve 10 days of community service and complete a drug treatment program.

Two DUIs in the last few months and Lucky Lindsay gets off with a tap on the wrist. It warms the heart, doesn’t it?

Lohan was charged earlier in the day with seven misdemeanors stemming from two drunken-driving arrests in the past four months. More serious felony drug charges were not filed, prosecutors said, because tests showed there wasn’t enough cocaine on her to warrant them.

Besides, those weren’t her pants, right? Sure, we believe you!

In a statement, Lohan said: “It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs. Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others.”

Oh, boo hoo. I bet this statement was penned by her lawyers. At least it contains the right words, even if she’s insincere. This is what we have come to expect from the cretins that infest Hollywood.

Translation: It’s not my fault. I’m not irresponsible. I have a medical condition. I’m an addict.

Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Nobody forced you to gulp that booze and sniff those drugs. You did it. You own it. Now that you’ve been caught, twice, you suddenly pretend to repent? Unbelievable. You’re not 16 anymore, princess. You’re 21. It’s time to grow up, settle down, get married and start a family. What you need is a good husband to keep you under control.

Lohan could easily have killed herself and others with her thoughtless self-indulgence. And her disgraceful party-all-the-time behavior has no doubt inspired teenage girls all over the world to turn on with alcohol, cocaine and other dangerous drugs like marijuana and PCP.

“C’mon Cindy, it’s cool! Let’s be like Lindsay! Let’s do drugs and have casual unprotected sex with strangers!”

“Oh yeah, Betty! That sounds like fun! I hate my parents! Let’s become atheists, too!”

What a fine example. What a mangled legacy of wreckage she leaves behind. The mindless glorification of irresponsible leftist celebrities is doing untold damage to our society and families everywhere. Rather than being made an example of, dysfunctional “celebrities” like Lohan are deified. It’s sick and wrong.

Even though she didn’t get the punishment she so rightly deserves, there is some good news. This puts closure on this ridiculous episode and we can at last forget about Lindsey Lohan. That, alone, is a relief to us all.

* * * * * * * * * *

Afterthought (for Miss Lohan’s eyes only): If you are reading this, Lindsay, and I’m sure that you are, I really do hope this episode puts you on the right path. If you are sincere and truly want to change your life for the better, feel free to contact us here at B4B. We would be happy to give you some spiritual guidance and words of wisdom. Jesus wants you to get on that pathway to salvation. The entire B4B Team is praying that you find your way to redemption before it’s too late.  Don’t let our prayers go to waste!

Anti-American Actress Joins ’24′

Perhaps they’re appealing to the left, fufilling a Hollywood quota, trying to be ironic or are jumping the shark.  But far-left anti-war wackjob Jeanane Garofalo is joining the cast of 24.  So much for must see TV.

The political left and the political right are going to meet on Fox’s “24″ this coming season.

Actress-comedian Janeane Garofalo, an outspoken liberal, is set to co-star on the conservative-leaning real-time drama, whose co-creator/executive producer Joel Surnow jokingly describes himself as a “right-wing nut job.”

On the Imagine TV/20th Century Fox TV series, Garofalo will play a government agent who is part of the team investigating the crisis befalling Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) and company in the upcoming season.

The anti-American failed former Err America host as a government agent?  That would seriously strain the suspension of disbelief.  I can only see this as believable if she turns out to be a double-agent working for the terrorists.  Sorry if I ruined the inevitable plot twist.

What’s next?  Cindy Sheehan as Speaker of the House?  Now that would be torture.  Perhaps Barofalo on 24 is just the beginning….

Newsbusters does make an interesting point about this turn of events however.

What’s interesting here is how this fictional “conservative-leaning” show manages to balance out its conservative image by not only hiring outspoken liberal actors, but including liberal views within its storyline…while shows like MSNBC’s “Countdown” (hosted by Keith Olbermann), which you might expect would feel obligated to do the same since they are news programs, do little to balance out the liberal views often espoused by the host and guests.

In any case, the 5’1″ actress is going to need a footstool to see eye to eye with Jack Bauer.

Thoughts?

Lindsay Lohan: Not My Pants

Worst excuse ever.

The 21-year-old checked into a Utah rehab center earlier this month after she was charged with her second DUI in two months. Lohan was pulled over early one morning after police believe that she was chasing another car in a SUV and failed a sobriety test. After searching her, police found cocaine in the pocket of her pants. The ‘Mean Girls’ star insist that neither the pants nor the drugs where hers.

She probably offered to take them off, the drunken little hussy. And this is classy with a k:

Meanwhile, Lindsay is facing more legal problems as one of the women in the SUV she was chasing filed a lawsuit and is suing Lohan.

It would seem that this little doggie, who recently escaped from her most recent round of rehab to buy $20 worth of spray on tan product, needs to be kept on a short leash.

My dog was last seen on the morning of 24 July 2007 chasing cars in Santa Monica. She will answer to the call of: Lilo, L Squared, Lo Hoe and Dime Bags, 2 for 10 dollars.

This young lady might have benefited from a purity ball in the past. But it’s far too late for this pampered lush now. Sadly she is a role model for young ladies today. And what a horrible one she is.

NOTE (to search engines): This article is not about Lindsay Lohan  nude, naked, topless, flashing, pregnant or having sex. So perverts begone!

Update: Elvis Presley Is Still Dead

Rock ‘n’ roll, gyrating hips, bad enunciation, lousy movies, drug abuse and an untimely and humiliating end in his filthy bathroom. This was your life, Elvis. Congratulations.

It would appear that the false king is still dead. But the one true King, the Son of G-d still reigns. And His joyful noise is far greater than any off-key caterwauling ever uttered by this overrated and puffed up pop star.

Discuss your recollections of this untalented and mouldering fallen star, the anniversary of Woodstock (that muddy and smelly anti-climax of the ill-fated “summer of love”) or whatever else seems important on this day.

Aside: An always refreshing voice in the comments reminded me of that great swinging crooner without equal, Pat Boone.  His columns, like  those of another great American, Chuck Norris, be read over at World Net Daily.

Stephen Baldwin Backs Brownback

Stephen Baldwin, like many Americans, had an awakening on 9/11. And it has made him older and wiser than the average Hollywood star. Wiser even than his Baldwin brothers. Using this new-found knowledge and faith in Jesus Christ he has been moved to make an endorsement. Naturally he has chosen to back Sam Brownback.

U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback won a surprise endorsement Saturday from Stephen Baldwin, the actor and born-again Christian who arrived at the Ames straw poll unannounced.

Baldwin, in an interview under Brownback’s tent, said he decided to back the Kansas Republican this afternoon after hearing him speak about faith and conservative family values at Hilton Coliseum.

After hearing Sam speak, it’s difficult not to genuinely like and support the man.

“He doesn’t back down from what he believes in,” Baldwin said. “His beliefs are based on his faith. He thinks we need to improve the country, but in a common sense way.”

Absolutely. This is one of the rare occasions that a Hollywood star makes nothing but sense.

Baldwin, best known for his role in the 1995 film The Usual Suspects, said today marked the first time he had attended the straw poll. He said he was registered as an independent, but selected Brownback after hearing all of the candidates speak.

Baldwin is only the most recent to endorse the principled, conservative Republican. He joins an impressive list of wonderful people.

Brownback has touted earlier endorsements by the founder of National Right to Life, an anti-abortion group, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Norma McCorvey, the Jane Roe of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision.

Not to mention, Terri Shiavo’s brother, Bobby Schindler.

Brownback spokesman John Rankin said Baldwin’s endorsement was unplanned.

But certainly welcome. Momentum for Sam Brownback continues to build. We are happy to welcome Stephen Baldwin into the fold.

Turmoil in the Toybox, Part III

I have to write this one quickly, because Jack’s up and he wants to write something too. On pages 62-63, the book excerpts a true paean to American eloquence:

If you have been listening to this commentary over the last five years, then you know that I have touched on almost every subject imaginable that is of interest to those of us who are conservatives. You may say, there’s nothing new he could talk about. There isn’t an outrage I haven’t heard. Well listen to this and see if this doesn’t top the list.

The Los Angeles-based Alliance for Gay and Lesbian Artists in the Entertainment Industry has called on those who make the Saturday morning cartoons, which our children watch, to begin depicting homosexual couples in cartoons.

According to a report in Electronic Media magazine, Charles Uszler, a spokesman for the Alliance, says he is not calling for homosexuals to be in the forefront of the cartoons, nor is he calling for discussions of sexuality. He thinks, though, that children need to know that same-sex couples exist and can live together in a domestic environment.

With the homosexuals already represented on television, certainly a lot more than, say, Christians and Jews, the battle for gay legitimacy now may be extending to our childen via the Saturday morning cartoons.

If I did not need a television set for the news and public affairs I must watch as a journalist, I would seriously consider getting rid of the box altogether. I already control my children’s access to it and want to know the content of a show before they watch it.

I take the trash out twice a week to be collected by the garbage man. But with television, it is increasingly a case of bringing the trash into the house seven days and nights a week. It has so much garbage on it that it might violate clean air standards of the Environmental Protection Agency.

There have been numerous stories of families who have tried doing without television for varying periods of time. I have never read a report that shows they regretted their decision. After an initial withdrawal period, most of them report improved communication, improved grades and improved reading skills.

It won’t be much longer, given the current trend, when television is as constantly ditry as a sewer or septic tank. You wouldn’t want you children playing in those places either, would you?

I’m Cal Thomas.

Anything I could add would only be redundant. That’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve read outside of Scripture. It holds as true today as it did in 1986. It’s wondreful.
