Guest Columns
Another typical Primary Season watching Fox News
by Scott Ryan 2/25/2012
I’m watching Justice with Judge Jeanine Pirro.
She personally seems to be impartial but she has this panel of three guests who are all dumping on Rick Santorum. They are mocking him for his stance on moral issues.The fact that Santorum is –doing well in the Michigan Polls is impressive – yet they are all talking about it as though it is a negative. They are acting, spinning this as though Santorum was the FAVORITE going into Michigan and he should be leading by a landslide!
Following those three shills, her next guest was Joe Piscopo, who was the next to take a turn ridiculing Santorum for taking a stand against legislative and cultural debauchery in America. He just said that he’s a Democrat and works for Mitt Romney!
So here’s another OBJECTIVE self-professed DEMOCRAT altruistically advising us on how Mitt Romney is “the only candidate who can beat Barack Obama” (ignoring polls this week showing Santorum actually beating Obama if the election were held today and he were the nominee).
Wow, I am amazed at the sudden hospitality and benevolence of these Democrats who are “looking out” for us – because they just want us to have the best candidate we can possibly have in November. Go-l-l-y Sergeant Carter! I must have been wrong about those Democrats all these years.
This is OUTRAGEOUS.
As I stated here in my vlog "Stop the Romney Sleaze Machine", we KNEW that Romney was going to dump tens of millions in sleazy commercials in which he will lie, slander and libel his opponents a few days before the election in order to give his target as little time as possible to respond.
That’s Mitt’s modus operandi – but on top of having the “advantage” of being unscrupulous enough to say or do ANYTHING without ethical compunction and hundreds of millions with which to do it - Fox News is BLATANTLY pimping Romney 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That’s a nice arrangement for Romney.
THIS TIME – Fox is managing this differently than in 2008. In 2008 they had their actual hosts and full-time pundits flat-out campaigning for Mitt. In one such case, Mort Kondracke and Fred Barnes – attacked Huckabee’s personal character as Mort said that “Mike Huckabee is not a good person” while Fred Barnes nodded in agreement.
(As an aside, I believe Huckabee would have almost certainly won the GOP nomination this time around but was successfully pacified with a weekend TV show after the hatchet-job had evangelical Christians outraged at Fox when that 2008 race was over.)
So now Fox has taken a slightly more clandestine approach. Instead of having the hosts shill for Mitt Romney – it appears they have the producers book nothing but –outside- shills as GUESTS on their shows to make it a bit less flagrant.
Aside from Mitt’s typical hit job commercial from which Fox is obviously profiting prodigiously, he gets a deal (even if unwritten) in which 90% of all Fox guests related to the GOP Primary are either on Romney’s payroll, were on his payroll or soon hope to be on Mitt’s payroll.
Another prime example was just this week, the very DAY AFTER “The Contrivance in Mesa” debate – when Fox had on their highly rated morning show “Fox & Friends” - TWO GUESTS to objectively evaluate the performance of the Mesa debate.
The two arbitrators of objectivity were:
Guest #1. Mitt Romney’s former debate coach Brett O’Donnell (I’m not making this up)
Guest #2. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie – who has been obnoxiously campaigning for Romney around the country ever since endorsing him.
I’m just bringing up random samples of merely a few hours of Fox that I watched this week between my busy work schedule. I can imagine for those who have it on all day, this must play like an Oral Roberts telethon where the establishment says give Mitt that nomination or something very bad is going to happen.
Are you truly sick of this? We CAN stop this. It’s not as though this guy has a ground swell of support. In fact, just like with McCain in 2008 – if you had taken a nationwide poll, state by state asking “WHICH CANDIDATE DO YOU NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WANT TO REPRESENT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE?” -in both cases then and now McCain and Romney are both the two candidates who would have been and would be today – the undisputed winner (with New England states being the possible exceptions naturally).
Like I said, we CAN stop this easily. Here’s why and how:
Footnote: I think that Greta Van Susteren deserves recognition as the journalist at Fox News who is the exception. She has been fair and has not allowed Romney pimping by her guests to go unabated and unchallenged.
Thanks Greta. Who would have ever thought that Greta would have been the one when she initially came over to Fox News?

Mitt Romney nomination could be GOP Death Knell

Chris Wallace proves he's MSNBC Material
by Scott Ryan
During the day long infomercial for Mitt Romney that is Fox News, I caught several appearances by Chris Wallace conducting damage control after the can of Whoop-ass Newt Gingrich opened upon him in last night’s GOP debate.
His political pundit colleagues were helping to prop him up by agreeing that his now infamous question was perfectly legitimate. They are all contending that asking Gingrich what he “has to say to people who say” that his “campaign is a disaster” – was not a “gotcha question”.
Wallace has a track record of insulting candidates he apparently dislikes by superficially framing his insults in the form of a question posed by generic people he fails to specifically identify beyond a group. His intent is transparent in the way that contestants on Jeopardy give an answer in the form of a question. Sure, technically it is a real question but that is a matter of procedure.
That these pundits actually don’t see the inappropriate nature of the question is hard to believe. Telling the man while he stands on the national stage waiting for a question about his positions on issues - that his campaign is a disaster and saying that “other people” say that - is pathetic and should be reserved for the tabloids. I love the way Gingrich enumerated on specific ideas on which he's campaigning - immediately after blasting this chump.
Wallace's claim that the question was about Newt's RECORD is absurd. His place in the polls during a campaign has nothing to do with his record.
Wallace did the same thing to Michelle Bachman recently when he asked her on his show “are you a flake”? Then too, he framed the underhanded insult by implying that it was those “other people” who contend this.
If simply framing his attacks by asserting that hypothetical “people” say whatever absurdity he chooses to propound makes the insult “legitimate”, he can say virtually ANYTHING he wants without scrutiny.
That is why the highlight of last night’s debate was when Gingrich put this pompous little twit in his place. No matter how much spin Wallace and his buddies try to put on it, the question was no more legitimate then if Gingrich would have asked Wallace what he has to say to people who say that he likes to dress up in his wife’s under-garments.
Judging from his pattern of scurrilous reproach toward his least favorite guests, nobody will ever mistake Chris Wallace of being a gentleman. In my opinion, Wallace once again demonstrated that he is clearly out of his league when trying to spar with Gingrich. This man is clearly MSNBC material.

What Steve Wynn & Arizonans have in common; this is what we get when we elect "experienced" Politicians
by Scott Ryan
Steve Wynn has been getting a lot of air play throughout the news media and Internet for his famous rant on Barack Obama but guess what Steve – it’s partly YOUR fault. YOU said you voted for him and you supported Harry Reed. Why in the hell did you support Harry Reed? After ALL we went through as a nation, with the hijacking of America and the most aggressive advancement of Marxism in American HISTORY. You knew what this guy is. Anyone who would vote for this pitiful fraction of a man deserves exactly what they get.
After Reed pushed Obamacare on this nation, ramming through a bill he and Pelosi claimed they didn’t even read, we had a golden opportunity to extricate him from the US Senate. He was at one point trailing in the polls. Americans were outraged by the absurdity. If people like you had any sense we may have taken the Senate and we wouldn’t be going through this torment right now. I enjoyed your candid rant but - you deserve the credit for this juggernaut Steve. To hell with Vegas. I was disgusted when before the election I saw voters in Nevada asserting that they were supporting Reed because he brings attention to their state and has too much influence on their behalf to elect a newcomer. Well, I hope Vegas goes bust. That would be the best thing for this country. Sin City is soon to become another Sodom.
On a similar vein, we begged and pleaded with Arizonans not to support John McCain this past election. Arizonans to what should be their chagrin took his typical bait as he pretended to be a conservative yet one more time. Arizonans can’t seem to resist the dubious attention they get with McCain.
As we saw last week, he couldn’t resist the temptation of attacking conservatives in the House and Senate. He didn’t pass up the chance to insult conservative Americans by taking the podium and attacking American voters who want responsible government by disdainfully calling them “hobits”. Arizonans, you people had an opportunity to purge our party of this two-faced attention hound and replace him with an authentic leader in J.D. Hayworth once and for all. In the Arizona focus groups the eternally credulous voters of that state told us that we need someone of his experince and wisdom as though he were the "old sage" Ben Franklin himself. Arizonans, once again, thanks for NOTHING. We know we can’t count on you. We know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot…
These are just two egregious examples of what we get when we hold our noses and vote for "experienced" politicians. Experience at screwing us over is all they bring to the table.

A Fresh, NEW PAUL for President anyone?
by Scott Ryan
Rand Paul has done an outstanding job as a freshman US Senator. He has stood his ground; he has not waivered and in every interview I have thus far seen, he has done an OUTSTANDING job articulating his remonstrance of why he could not support –any- of the bills put forward in the House or Senate.
We have a few historical precedents in this nation of sons of previous Presidents succeeding their former Presidential fathers and many such examples in the House and Senate.
I think that Rand Paul has clearly demonstrated himself worthy of a NEW precedent, one in which the son of a distinguished congressional father becomes the US President after his father had on multiple attempts failed to win on multiple attempts.
I believe that Ron Paul has done an outstanding job as a congressman and was right on the money in his past warnings on the debt. He has earned the credence afforded him by his prescience on those issues. However his accuracy is not known or understood by more than a small fraction of Americans and he is simply not very marketable to enough Americans to win a presidential primary.
I always agreed with Ron Paul on his economic and pro-life positions but never supported Ron Paul in a primary because he seemed to underestimate the true threat of Islam while articulating his position on the Iraq war.
I don’t necessarily believe that we should be at war in the middle-east either but if I were comfortable to know that his agenda would include assurances that he would have a cohesive policy to protect us domestically from the Islamic invasion, I would have much more likely supported him in the past. But to say that we are just going to unilaterally “pull out” of Iraq and Afghanistan without demonstrating an alternative makes him appears as just another pacifist. I do not currently nor have I ever trusted the professed motivations for our being in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I am incapable of suspending my disbelief that people of western values which are diametrically opposed to those of the Islamic middle-east can project their constitutional principles on a region of people whose religious values prevent a separation between their tyrannical religion and state and continue to do so today. Look at Africa for example. Their central “prophet” Muhammad grew the Islamic empire by subjugation and forced conversion.
The fruits of Islam have always been tyranny. So I have no faith whatsoever that Democracy can flourish to any degree in those nations in which we are spending trillions of our tax dollars. I believe that about as much as I believe that there can EVER be a victorious ending to a “war on terror” as long as Islam is the dominant religion in those nations.
I have long suspected that regardless of which President is waging the purported “war on terror”, while the pretense for it has been to make democracy “take hold” in those nation, it has been more about a globalist agenda. This agenda has proven to take MORE American liberties away for our “security” than to provide freedom in those Islamic nations.
I was at Dulles Airport just outside our nation’s capital yesterday and was outraged as I heard over the intercom throughout the entire airport – that “there will be an Islamic prayer service held today at…. at …o’clock”. I was waiting for my flight for two hours and during that time, this “Islamic prayer service” was announced over the intercom TWO TIMES. During those hours, those were the ONLY announcements that were made over that airport intercom! This was in our nation’s CAPITAL.
It’s time to wake up. Muslims are infiltrating our own military bases and killing our soldiers on our own soil. They are killing Americans, Africans, Europeans and Israelis all over the globe. Yet we don’t just give Islam deference in this nation, we give Islam PREFERENCE. We give preference to the very religion responsible for the fact that I stood in line at the gate for 30 minutes, being forced to take my shoes and belt off, enter an x-ray booth and have my Pepsodent tooth paste confiscated! Who is winning the war on terror when these same people get accomodated to the extent that they announce they are having a prayer service in that airport?
What are the odds that such solicitude would be given to CHRISTIANS if they were holding a “Christian prayer service" or bible study somewhere in Dulles airport? It is nothing less than perversion the way the left like to coddle the very people who want us – and them – dead. It is unexplainable the way they like to stroke these people other than to say that they must get some sick form of arousal by it akin to auto-erotic affixation. It is evil. Their hatred toward Christ and the principles upon which this great nation was founded clearly exceeds any devotion of freedom they might have.
Based upon the preference now given to this barbarianism even after September 11, 2001 and all of the terror attacks across the globe against westerners, tell me WHO is actually WINNING this “war on terror”.
All this being expatiated, it is not enough for Ron Paul to say that we are going to high tail it out of the middle-east and act like it never happened. The hornets are nesting. They attacked US first. They are in our midst as we saw at Fort Hood, as I heard yesterday at Dulles airport and as mosques continue to permeate this nation. It is not enough to declare victory - or defeat. I need to hear a clearly elucidated strategy on how we are going to DEFEND our nation against this scourge. That is where Ron Paul lost me.
I don’t mean this to criticize the Congressman. I give him accolades for his devotion to this country and for his economic prowess. He’s a true American patriot and has done exceptionally well for his country - but I think his time may have passed. Many conservatives were, like me, not quite comfortable with his foreign policy and could not support him in the primaries for that reason. Many others said he just didn’t seem to have that presidential quality or ability to win. Senator Rand Paul on the other hand seems to exude leadership characteristics that I have no problem declaring presidential. Senator Paul’s relative youth, vigor and demonstrated devotion to the constitutional principles he was elected to advance – make him a STRONG potential candidate for the presidency.
After seeing his frequent interviews during the past few weeks of this debt limit debate,Senator Paul's exceptional defense against the establishment in the Republican party as they along with the so-called conservative pundits urged him to capitulate – there can be absolutely no question about his loyalty and ability to defend this nation against the underhanded ambushes of the leftist and pseudo-right media.
We have a group of candidates who CLAIM they have those faculties – while many like Romney hide from taking a position –but Senator Rand Paul has been DEMONSTRATING his talents on the world state and has done so flawlessly as far as I can determine. I also think his experience as an MD should give him exceptional credentials in the war against Obamacare, not to mention the nobility that comes with his prior career when compared to the typical elected ambulance chaser.
This is not intended to be an endorsement of Senator Rand Paul. I have not committed my vote at this point but I certainly have not been impressed by the declared candidates as of yet. I also think Jim DeMint would be an exceptional candidate who has earned my immense admiration.

The Only thing we Learn from History
by Scott Ryan
The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn from history. If you read Augustine’s City of God and how consumed the people of Rome were with entertainment, luxury and sexual deviance - and then compare it to the immoral state of this nation, the United States overlaps perfectly with the state of Rome before it was sacked. Another thing we are going to see repeated is the evil that follows the lust for power by people of a sinful nature when tolerated by a society of narcissistic degenerates.
Polls show that close to 60% of Anthony Weiner’s constituents support him and see no problem with supporting a consummate liar and reprobate. It is difficult to fathom how people can be so obstinate and perverse. The recent scandals by politicians and corporate executives who have shown a lack of personal morality have demonstrated the fact that they CANNOT “compartmentalize” their lack of ethics so as to carry out their official duties with rectitude.
The message of American media and entertainment world is that you can live out a life of debauchery, unfaithfulness to your spouse and your family, while remaining virtuous in your public life. There is no such thing as “BUSINESS ETHICS”. You are either ethical – or you are NOT. If we have not learned this at this point than we deserve what we get. Executives in the corporate world and politicians are a mere barometer of the moral state of this nation.
Get your popcorn ready and watch the destruction of federalism, which cannot be maintained by such ignominious people as those geniuses in NY who support Weiner and wish to foist him upon US. They poison the well of federalism for everyone. I am ashamed to be a part of the same union as these constituents of Weiner. Leftists like Weiner, Pelosi, Obama & Reed have devoted their lives and entire leftist platform on ignoble deeds from sexual depravity, baby killing (resulting from sexual depravity), legalizing drugs and stealing the fruits of the labor of disciplined, hard working Americans. The Democrat Party caters to the fallen angels of our nature. People who blithely support them are incapable of maintaining freedom.
The only way the ideals of our constitution will continue is if there be God Fearing States of America. In the current state, the days of this union are numbered. With people like Anthony Weiner and Barney Frank of Massachusettes permeating this union, we may only have a few short years, if not months before it collapses. The scoundrels who helped destroy this nation and our currency are ready to show this spoiled nation what tyranny and evil look like up close. When it hits, be ready.
We have an emergency communications plan for when the final consequences of immorality and the fed's rapacity hits the fan. It's completely volunteer and it leverages our most important asset, each other (constitution venerating Americans). The CB Patriot Project at www.cbPatriot.com
