Wild Bill asks: Did the feds pay the rioters in Ferguson, defends Michelle Malkin, and dumps on Alex Jones...

asking questions that need answers.

Disclaimer:

I'm not a huge fan of Michelle Malkin, who, through the lucky founding of Hot Air, has been thrust onto the national scene.  I find her to be shrill and, well, call me silly, but somewhat unladylike.  I gravitate more toward the Phyllis Schlafly and Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt types to inform me.  Both of these women are intelligent, well-educated, and able to present their views without screeching and flapping their hands about. 

This is not to say that Michelle Malkin is not a good person or not smart.  She's, no doubt, both.  I just don't like listening to her, and prefer to see her in print. 

I'm even less of a fan of Alex Jones, who feeds into irrational paranoia of the masses and is also shrill.  The biggest problem with Alex Jones is the kernels of truth that are buried in some of his rants, so that the easily led can pluck them out and say, "See, I told you so."

Bill's defense of Michelle Malkin as to Alex Jones stalking and screaming at her in Denver during the 2008 Democratic National Convention  is right.  Jones behavior was, indeed, reprehensible, and she certainly didn't deserve to be screamed at even if she does flap her hands about which is way better than Alex Jones flapping his mouth.

Bill asks the question, "Were Ferguson protesters paid by Eric Holder?" 

Bill, prudent as always, cautions restraint when it comes to stories about such things, and unloads on gossip monger Alex Jones, and extolls the virtues of Michell Malkin.  

We do know that of the many who were arrested, almost none of them lived in Ferguson.  Were they paid to go there and stir up trouble?  I doubt it, but Bill's main point is that this administration is so malevolent and lawless that such a thing is not beyond the realm of possibility.

As I said, I doubt they were paid, but I do believe our government shipped them in, using them as the useful idiots they are, in order to keep us fixated on Ferguson to draw attention away from something they didn't want us to see.  These events have become the modern day "bread and circuses" of distraction.

while I agree with everything else she says, to "hope" for the damnation of another person is treading on dangerous ground. 

Hope is one of the three theological virtues (Faith and Charity being the other two):

by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ's promises and relying not on our own strength, but on the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit. "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful." source

Tax Revenue Tanks

AP - Biggest Revenue Drop Since 1932

This is not a happy article and points up why we do not need another government program spending money we don't have. The drop in revenue was entirely predictable, and was predicted by many, many people, and will only get worse.

Corporate taxes fell by 47% - whoops, silly me - that's 57%. In case you missed it, these are the evil folks who shoulder the majority of the tax bill for the rest of the country. And these are the folks who give us jobs. So can anyone out there inform me of why our current administration is demonizing big business?

And this quote should make your blood run cold:

President Barack Obama has said he wants to tackle Social Security next year, after he clears an already crowded agenda that includes overhauling health care, addressing climate change and imposing new regulations on financial companies.

Michelle Malkin on the View

In my opinion Michelle Malkin more than held her own on The View. Unfortunately, we had to sit through the majority of the program before Michelle was "interviewed". Tell me again why anyone would watch that insipid carp coming from those silly women?

Into the lion’s den: My encounter with The View
By Michelle Malkin

from the combox :

I want to encourage everyone to take action against ObamaCare every single day during the month of August...at least one small act to defeat ObamaCare for each day of the August recess. Call, write, email, fax, tweet, blog, go to townhall meetings, tea party protests...attack from every angle!

Thanks Right Klik. Those are my thoughts exactly and you saved me the time of having to type it up and wonder where the commas should go...

Michelle Malkin on the View

Michelle Malkin is going to be on The View tomorrow (Monday) This should be very interesting. Under ordinary circumstances I would as soon poke my eyes out with a hot icepick as watch that show, but I must give my support to Michelle.

I'm also looking forward to reading her book, Culture of Corruption




If you want a good laugh read the "one star" reviews on Amazon. I like the one where Obama is held up in high esteem because he put together the cash for clunkers program. Wow - praise for giving us back our own money so that perfectly good cars can be destroyed and we can power up the factories to make more cars (how green is that?) Well, guess what? It's my money too and I don't want to buy you a car. Oh yeah, my 1995 Chrysler LHS doesn't qualify by being one MPG over the limit.
