This also got me thinking, how many medals have been won by the USA across all of the Olympic games?  The results my come as shock to America haters, but the USA consistently dominates the Olympic games, by a relatively wide margin, too.

Here is an interactive table of the various medal counts.

Read it ad weep, liberals.  America produces the best athletes the world has ever known.

Lets speculate for a moment. If no one ever check on Gate’s house after the woman called the police he would probably be just as outraged that the while rouge cop cared so little that he wouldn’t check up on a potential burglary. The police are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

What we have here is just another race hustler. The facts are being completely ignored and no one is discussing the inappropriate comments made by Gates. Even the president, acknowledgeing he doesn’t know the facts, is discgracefully throwing the Cambridge police department under the bus.

All Gates, Obama, and his unwavering followers seem to be are eternal victims. People aren’t buying this load of BS put forth by these race hustlers and that is why Obama is now backpedaling as fast as he can.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A prominent group of polling researchers has accused the lead author of a 2006 study suggesting massive civilian deaths in Iraq of violating the polling profession’s codes and ethics. 

The Executive Council of the American Association for Public Opinion Research said Dr. Gilbert Burnham, a Johns Hopkins University professor, had repeatedly refused to cooperate with an eight-month investigation into his research on the Iraqi death toll that made headlines in October 2006 when it was published by The Lancet, a British medical journal. 

The widely publicized study headed by Burnham contended that nearly 655,000 Iraqis had died because of the U.S.-led invasion and war in Iraq. 

“When asked to provide several basic facts about this research, Burnham refused,” the council said in a statement. It noted that the group’s Code of Professional Ethics and Practices calls for researchers to disclose their methodology when survey findings are made public so they can be independently evaluated and verified. 

“Dr. Burnham provided only partial information and explicitly refused to provide complete information about the basic elements of his research,” said Mary Losch, chair of the association’s Standards Committee. 

The group made no judgment on whether Burnham’s findings were accurate but said his refusal to fully cooperate with the probe “violates the fundamental standards of science, seriously undermines open public debate on critical issues and undermines the credibility of all survey and public opinion research.” 

Burnham is the co-director of the Center for Refugee and Disaster Response at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He could not be reached for comment. 

Tim Parsons, a spokesman for the school said: “We are disappointed AAPOR has chosen to find Dr. Burnham in violation of the organization’s ethics code. However, neither Dr. Burnham nor the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health are members of AAPOR.” 

Burnham’s research was based on interviews of households and not a body count. It found that about 600,000 Iraqis had died from violence, mostly gunfire. It also found a small increase in deaths from other causes such as heart disease and cancer. 

He contended that as of the date of his study, deaths were occurring in Iraq at a rate more than three times higher than before the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. 

Burnham’s research, released just weeks before congressional midterm elections, was immediately questioned by some experts who said the figures appeared too high. An accurate count of Iraqi deaths has been difficult to obtain, but one respected group put its rough estimate at the time of Burnham’s study closer to 50,000. 

Burnham said at the time that his estimate was much higher than others because it was derived from a house-to-house survey rather than approaches that depend on body counts or media reports. 

The Association for Public Opinion Research said it began investigating Burnham’s findings in March 2008 after one of its members complained. It said it had several times formally requested basic information about the survey, including the wording of questions asked and instructions and explanations given to respondents. It said Burnham refused to provide the information. 

Burnham is not a member of the group, which says it has nearly 2,200 members from government agencies, colleges and universities, nonprofit organizations, media corporations and commercial polling firms.

Seems liars like this are almost always elevated to lofty positions and hardly every questioned.  If they are questioned they lie, deny, and obstruct.  What a wonderful 4 years we have coming up!

I have read a lot of stuff since the election has eneded and I have come to a few conclusions.

1.  Barack Obama will fail as president.  Not because anything he will do, although it is possible, but it will be because Mr Hussein is not black.  He is half black.

Now that, in the eyes of a majority of Americans, a Black man has been elected president, black people cannot be victims any longer, at least until Barry fails to deliver on his promises.  Look at Obama’s history.  He never had a father, was raised by his grandparents, moved around a great deal; his upbringing seems like a stereotypical black community upbringing, at least from this typical white person’s point of view.

So what went right?  Here is your seemingly average black guy with a rough childhood, drug use and everything, went to Columbia in New York, was a successful community organizer, went to Harvard where he was editor of the Law Review  and graduated Magnu Cum Laude, and the rest is history.  Barry is truly a guy who pulled himself up out of the slums and is now the most powerful man in the free world.  There was no affirmative action here, he is just a smart guy who made the right decisions in the right places at the right time with the right people.

So what is holding all the other black people back?  With Obama’s example, why do we need affirmative action that aknowledes blacks are inferior and need a leg up? We don’t.   Black people are holding black people back.  

Maybe it is because Barry is half white, and that is why he succeded? 

Look at what alot of blacks are saying in the news.  They beleive the Mr. Hussein is going to fill their gas tanks, pay their mortgages, pay their bills and overall take care of them.  When Barry doesn’t deliver what are they going to say?

The next time a black person tries to be a victim and says “whitey is keeping me down” all we have to do is point a finger at Barry and say, “Umm, no we aren’t, look at Obama.”  We will be able to do this for the rest of America’s recorded history.

Now then, the Black’s victim status isn’t going to go away overnight.  As soon as their victim plea fails they are going to grasp at straws trying to still play the victim.  What is going to redeem them (in their minds at least)?  Obama is half white.

Once Obama fails to deliver on his promises and now that the evil race hustlers Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are out of a job and won’t be able to blame all their problems on white people, they will turn on Barry and decry him for being half white.  That is my perspecitve.

2.  Lets stick a knife in the current Republican Party.

I think Jesus himself could have run as a Republican and lost.  The Republican party moved to the left starting in around 2004 and with this election and the ‘06 election they paid for it.  More people voted against George Bush in this election than they did for Barack Obama.  That was Barry’s campaign theme, not another 4 years of failed republican policies.  When all the opposing party has to do is point out your failures and spends almost no time running on their mertis and wins the election you are doing something terribly wrong.

We have 4 years to fix it.  We have to put true consercatives in place of the filty neo-con rats.  Hopefully we can find some by 2010, because I think a lot of Americans are going to be hungry for change after the Hammer and Cycle are flying above the white house and all they have left in their pockets is change.

3.  Obama supporters are stupid.

In a discussion with one guy I was called a nazi and he couldn’t wait for Obama to take my guns away.  I was stunned and the incongruity of that statement.  Obama supporters aren’t going to happy with what they got.

Here is the photo:

What the lefty loons don’t realize is what this photo actually depects without BO’s head pasted on.  The picture is from a 1967 episode of Star Trek called, ”Who Mourns for Adonais?”  Read the description at the previous link if you like, but I will provide a breif synopsis.

The character that BO’s head is pasted on is Apollo.  In the episode he claims to be the actual ancient Greek god Apollo.  The episode begins with a very large hand reaching out and seizing the Enterprise and holding it steady in place.  Kirk and the away team in the picture above confront Apollo.  Apollo refuses to let them leave, says he will provide for all of their needs, and effortlessly swoons the female away team member into loving him.  

In the screen grab that was modified above, Apollo demonstrates his abilities after the away team is insubordinate and refuses to comply with his demands.  The episode contains other examples of this. When Scotty attempts to rescue the female way team member Apollo electocutes him.

At long last the Enterprise destoys the Greek temple which was acting as Apollo’s power source and the episode ends with Apollo defeated.

Do you think it is any coincedence that liberals pasted BO’s face onto the head of an authoritarian maniac posing as a savior wanting to provide for the needs and want of everyone but in reality wants subjects to rule over and worship him?

Coincedences are few and far between.

Also, Democrat leaders conceded a great deal of talking points in the whole “Bush lied” meme.  The Rockefeller report outlines all of the “Bush lied to get us into war” statements and concludes what everyone already knew: That the intelligence at the time reflected what Bush was telling congress and the American people.

This blog isn’t a news resource for Amarillo or any kind of revenue generating entity.  Since 2004 nothing has happened in Amarillo than anyone outside of it cares about and sitting around here waiting for stuff to happen is boring.  In other words, I have better stuff to worry about than coving a potential news event.

This blog has primarily been about my opinion, cataloging it, and sharing it.  I refence this place as my knowledge base to rebut liberal buffoons constantly.

The only thing left to post about is the upcoming election and other stuff that happens that I care about.  Right now all I care about is shooting, hunting, and earning enough money to be able to thoughroughly enjoy my time off of work.   As such, I post very little.  Politics concerns me little, especially after the Heller decision, and with Palin as McCain’s pick for VP, I doubt BO is going to get very far, especially after the unscripted debates when Johnny tears BO’s stuttering self a new asshole.

I will be there to gloat on November 5th to gloat or, to blog anew making sure every Democrat hears constantly about Biden’s 5 deferrments and talking extensively about any slip up BO makes to make him look stupid, doing to them what they have done to us.  Yes, very shallow I agree, but I am not above it.  As I have said elsewhere, someone must be willing to play in the mud with the filth if good is to triumpth.

I can’t vote democrat every because of the blatant intelectual dishonesty a majority of their leaders display. Stuff like Howard Dean wanting to do away with the electoral college.

One thing that pisses me off about Dem talking points to no end is the “tax cuts for the rich” canard. Yes, the rich did get tax cuts, but no democrat I have heard will ever say why that is bad and will definatlely never tell you what the result of the tax cuts were. The whole thing is to drum up support among ignorant or stupid poor people who think the rich keep them down.

“The rich” pay 90+% off all income taxes and as a result of the Bush tax cuts tax revenues are higher than they would have been under previous tax law. Those facts are completely lost on Democrats and is representative of a larger issue. Unscrupulous pandering with extreme disregard for the facts is what turns me off, and that happens on far more issues than the one above.

I got into a discussion with a local Democrat about why he wanted universal healthcare. His position was that healthcare was a right and should be provided to everyone. I didn’t chastize him for his position, but pointed out the negative effects, such as Walter Reed and VA hospitals and other shortcoming and dangers such a the government having an interest in keeping people healthy and the slippery slope of banning smoking and trans fats. All of that stuff was completely lost on him and he doesn’t care as long as everyone receives healthcare.

Now, I am not saying all democrats are like that, but that really isn’t the point I am making. The point is that Democrat’s positions are have shaky foundations.

A don’t think I am being an apologist for republicans. This current crop is contemptable and I loathe a great deal of their actions, from the top down.

Also, I apply this thinking to National level politics.  At the local level there are probably a great deal of outstanding democrats.  Abe Lopez, a local judge, comes to mind who was very good at what he did.

In all of the fictional series Harvey Dent is Gotham City’s district attorney.  Afte being burned by acid Harvey has a physchotic breakdown and is criminal known as Two Face.

Yesterday the Supreme court affirmed DC vs Heller, a monumentous decision that solidifies the individual right to bear arms.  Given the election year Obama and McCain offered their thoughts.

What does Two Face have to do with this?  Well, after I watched the following video, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the fictional character in his Billy Dee William’s portrayed form, a prominent attorney turned evil.

I am elated that, one way or another, America is heading for a new frontier.  For example, scinece is getting better and better every day.  I particularly like statistics myself.  Studies such as this:

Is it OK to cheat on your taxes? A total of 57 percent of those who described themselves as “very liberal” said yes in response to the World Values Survey, compared with only 20 percent of those who are “very conservative.” When Pew Research asked whether it was “morally wrong” to cheat Uncle Sam, 86 percent of conservatives agreed, compared with only 68 percent of liberals.

Ponder this scenario, offered by the National Cultural Values Survey: “You lose your job. Your friend’s company is looking for someone to do temporary work. They are willing to pay the person in cash to avoid taxes and allow the person to still collect unemployment. What would you do?”

Almost half, or 49 percent, of self-described progressives would go along with the scheme, but only 21 percent of conservatives said they would.

When the World Values Survey asked a similar question, the results were largely the same: Those who were very liberal were much more likely to say it was all right to get welfare benefits you didn’t deserve.

The World Values Survey found that those on the left were also much more likely to say it is OK to buy goods that you know are stolen. Studies have also found that those on the left were more likely to say it was OK to drink a can of soda in a store without paying for it and to avoid the truth while negotiating the price of a car.

Another survey by Barna Research found that political liberals were two and a half times more likely to say that they illegally download or trade music for free on the Internet.

A study by professors published in the American Taxation Association’s Journal of Legal Tax Research found conservative students took the issue of accounting scandals and tax evasion more seriously than their fellow liberal students. Those with a “liberal outlook” who “reject the idea of absolute truth” were more accepting of cheating at school, according to another study, involving 291 students and published in the Journal of Education for Business.

A study in the Journal of Business Ethics involving 392 college students found that stronger beliefs toward “conservatism” translated into “higher levels of ethical values.” And academics concluded in the Journal of Psychology that there was a link between “political liberalism” and “lying in your own self-interest,” based on a study involving 156 adults.

Liberals were more willing to “let others take the blame” for their own ethical lapses, “copy a published article” and pass it off as their own, and were more accepting of “cheating on an exam,” according to still another study in the Journal of Business Ethics.

To me, science like that makes me feel all warm inside.

The Obommunists are celebrating wildly now that Obama has secured the nomination.  I am have previously been torn on this situation for two reasons.  One is, I don’t like McCain very much.  The second reason is that the abomination of an Obama presidency combined with a Democrat congress will handily ensure a 1984 come 2012.  I must admit that prospect is very tempting, but I find any harm to my fellow Americans for political gain very loathsome.  If the second reason comes to pass then I will be very sad, but my conscience will be clean in knowing that I had no hand in ushering in an era of increased and damaging social policies.

I realize that leftists could say the same about me supporting Bush’s policies for the past 8 years and I will probably concede to a lot of their critisicms.  However, we as a nation must realize that the fruits of our labor during the Bush administration may not come to pass for quite a while.  That is not to say that everything Bush has done has been for the better, far from it, but the opposite is false as well.

Change is inevitable.  I will continue in another post.

The above picture is of the Cuban flag with Che Guevera imposed over the right side.  This flag is found in Barack Obama’s Houston campaign hedquarters as evidenced in this video.

And how could we ever forget the whole “Hand over the heart” fiasco?
