Author Oleg Atbashian presents his book to a libertarian/conservative group Liberty on the Rocks in Colorado Springs, August 23, 2011.

Oleg Atbashian is a writer and graphic artist from the former USSR. Born and raised in Ukraine, he used to be a teacher, a translator, a worker, a freelance journalist, and at one time a propaganda artist, creating visual agitprop for the local Party committee in a Siberian town. In 1994, he emigrated to the USA hoping to live in a country that was ruled by reason and common sense. Ironically, he now lives in New York City. He is the creator ofThePeoplesCube.com, a satirical website where he writes under the name of Red Square.

Here is what makes Liberal-Progressives vote Democrat:

1. They believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.

2. They believe the government will do a better job of spending the money they earn than they would themselves.

3. They believe that Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

4. They are way too irresponsible to own a gun, and know that the local police are all they need to protect them from murderers and thieves.

5. They believe that people who can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if they don’t start driving a Prius.

6. They are not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

7. They think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.

8. They believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.

9. They believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

10. They think that it’s better to pay billions to people who hate us for their oil, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle or gopher.

11. They vote Democrat because while we live in the greatest, most wonderful country in the world, they were promised “HOPE AND CHANGE”.

12. But mostly, they vote Democrat because their heads are so firmly planted up their behinds, it’s unlikely that they’ll ever have another point of view.

If you don’t know the controversy surrounding Rep. Anthony Weiner, google “weinergate” and watch one or two of the videos circulating the Internet. That should bring you up to speed.

Three questions.

1. Did he do it?

2. Does it matter?

3. Who will play Rep. Weiner in the inevitable movie?

Of course he did it. The supposedly “media-savvy” Democrat Congressman could have avoided the carnival sideshow treatment by a normally supportive media with an admission of guilt, followed by a promise to “do better for my constituents who deserve better,” or some such blather.

But Weiner didn’t go that route. I guess he considers himself above all that. If he can dictate to us what kind of health care we have or the kind of car we drive, if he has that kind of power, who are we to question him about anything? So he ducked the question, tried to change the subject, repeatedly, and failed utterly.

Even Jon Stewart, his old college bro, made fun of him on his show. When your antics make The Daily Show, you’ve become a parody, a joke. If Weiner had any sense of decency or honor, he’d resign. But he won’t. Because he’s a Democrat, and when you’re a Democrat and do wrong the Barney Rule comes into play.

“What is the Barney Rule?” you ask. Democrat Representative Barney Frank’s gay lover ran a brothel in the basement of the Congressman, and got away with it. Frank also got one of his buddies a 6-figure job at Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Look up the word “corrupt” and you’ll see a picture of Barney Frank.

Frank and Weiner. Weiner and Frank. Funny how things turn out. It’s like a very bad SNL skit. It probably will be a very bad SNL skit.

Does it matter? I think so, yes. If Weiner is lying, then he’s a lewd pervert who has disgraced himself, his family, and Congress. If Weiner isn’t lying, and his account was “hacked,” then all government officials who engage in social media are at risk of being publicly humiliated, blackmailed, and so on. It’s a national security issue, or could be.

As for who could play Anthony Weiner in the inevitable Weinergate movie, Nicolas Cage comes to mind. Johnny Depp, maybe.

The Hypocrisy of the Left
By Ralph Peters

Since Saturday, our media have reveled in the aftermath of the avoidable slaughter in Tucson, where a young madman – ignored by “tolerant” social, educational and law-enforcement systems – gunned down, among others, a federal judge and a nine-year-old girl, while gravely wounding a Congresswoman reaching out to her constituents.

Caught out in his incompetence, Sheriff Clarence Dupnik of Pima County, Arizona, railed against conservatives, who the “lawman” blamed for the massacre on his turf. Other leftists rushed to blame the Tea Party (conveniently overlooking the murderer’s internet claim that The Communist Manifesto was one of his favorite books—oops!).

The Rise of the LEFT Under OBAMA

By Jon Bauman
Woodlands, TEXAS

Happy New Year???

My prediction for 2011 is that it will be dominated by federal regulatory excesses; so much so that the conventional wisdom that Obama is going to “move to the center” to “ensure his re-election” will, once again, be shown to be as misguided as ever.

The challenge to Republicans will be to expose this over-the-top regulation as the unconstitutional power grab it is, stop it, and make sure Obama gets appropriately tarnished as the LEFTIST he is in the process. We are going to witness so much outrageous regulatory abuse that it will be a huge challenge for Congress to keep on top of it.  And, to the extent Congress cannot meet this challenge, be prepared for considerable loss of freedom and significant increases in taxes masquerading as higher costs.This is not a hard prediction to make, since it has already started.  In the couple of weeks, we have:

From American Thinker
By Jeremy Meister

The “Me Generation” was cute until it got in charge.

The “Greatest Generation” came home from fighting and suffering in World War 2 and gave birth to the “Baby Boom.” Like most children, these “Boomers” rebelled against their parents’ values, like honor, duty, and sacrifice. It was the ’60s, and the old fuddy-duddy ways of doing things were frowned upon by the new generation. The “Boomers” were going to have a good time regardless of the consequences.

If the Greatest Generation made a mistake, it was that they loved their children too much. They would always be there for their kids — didn’t matter if it was paying for a broken window from a sandlot baseball game or bailing them out when they were caught posting graffiti. Thus, they taught their kids that responsibility was someone else’s problem. And it began to show in every aspect of American life.

Our city government continues traveling on a power trip with no end in sight.

In story about the massage parlor ordinance in the Brownsville Herald, Teri Rendon, a Brownsville small business owner of the Carriage House Day Spa.questioned the new law. Her concerned stemmed from over-regulation as the state already licenses her establishment. The city countered that they planned to target illegitimate businesses. It did not matter. In what could be described as tyranny, a city inspector paid Rendon a visit on the same day her concerns were published.

Evaristo Gamez, the city’s permitting director, told the Herald it is “routine” behavior for his department to check out any business that’s in the newspaper. I might understand if he investigates businesses who are advertising to establish legitimacy and compliance.

However, Teri Rendon was not advertising. She exercised her free speech. Her concerns brought out the city’s fury and retaliation. Plain and simple, our local government has lost control of its senses.

The city commission will hold their first regular meeting for the month of August on Tuesday, August 3. 

On tap for tomorrow’s meeting is a public hearing and ACTION on the city’s Fiscal Year Budget. This means anyone who is interested may speak on the issue without signing up. August is traditionally a busy month for the city commission as they prepare the city’s budget for the next fiscal year. They will hold at least three if not more meetings this month. If you are interested in the budget process, you should make plans to attend or watch live on cable channel 12. 

There will also be action on the potential tax rate for next year and the appraisals for the entire city.

In other new business, part time city attorney Mark Sossi, Esquire will propose a $250 annual license fee for massage parlors. There will be a public hearing and action on the first reading of this new ordinance. The city is creating a law to fight human trafficking and prostitution that apparently occurs in some massage parlors. Don’t liberals argue that local government should not fight illegal immigration and human trafficking because it is a federal issue?

(From NewsBusters)

By John Barham

The spring semester of 1968 at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, was a time of tumult and tragedy.  As students, we were enlightened by such notable visitors to campus as John Kenneth Galbraith, Saul Alinsky, Robert Kennedy, Julian Bond and Eugene McCarthy.  And then, on April 4, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was shot down in Memphis.

A consequence of the death of Dr. King was an immediate nightly curfew in Nashville, where National Guard troops were quickly bivouacked around the renowned replica of the Parthenon in Centennial Park.  It was no little shock for us to see tanks and APCs in the park, which was only three or four blocks from the university’s campus.

As the curfew went into its second night, it was apparent that it was being enforced only in the areas surrounding Fisk University and Tennessee State University; in other words, only African-American neighborhoods were being affected by the curfew.

Will Commissioner Melissa Zamora, Commissioner Ricardo Longoria, or Mayor Pat Ahumada put forth a resolution condemning Rhode Island for doing pretty much what Arizona wants to do?

What’s that you say, Commissioner Melissa Zamora? You don’t know what I’m talking about, Commissioner Ricardo Longoria?

I’ve heard it all folks. I’ve reached the top of the mountain, and there is nothing left to see.

Stan Raines publishes Nunnayerbizness, an unabashed liberal blog. Recently the local yokal unexpectedly moved to the right. He does not want his tax dollars paying for the Democratic Party or any private political party to use the county elections department to run their private primaries.

In an unfortunate rantabout tax dollars being involved in Texas primaries, Raines demonstrates his political awakening.

Okay, answer me this question: what is the legal justification for taxpayers paying to conduct primary elections? Political parties are not public entities, but private associations, aren’t they?

Yes, they are private to an extent. Generally one nominee of either political party will be elected to public office, it behooves a fair and open election in the primary to prevent violation of the people’s right to vote.

The Election Code, to my knowledge, requires political parties to pay for part of the costs associated with running their primaries. It’s not like they are getting some service completely for free. If he wants a legal justification, maybe he should contact any number of “in the name social justice” lawyers for his answer. I wonder if he has ever asked for a legal justification for government’s takeover the health care system. Raines continues.

Yet this morning I read in The Brownsville Herald that the county commissioners have voted to pay to defend election administrator Roger Ortiz in a suit filed by Ruben Peña to prevent the destruction of ballots from the recent Democratic primary runoff for County Judge. Why is Cameron County involved in this election at all?

Mr. Ortiz was running an election in his capacity as county elections director. His office running the primary run-off election was called into question. He should not have had to appear in court as the Democrat candidate who according to a more knowledgeable blogger namely Bobby WC mishandled his elections complaint. Nevertheless, Mr. Ortiz deserved our public monies to defend him.

How can Stan Raines call himself a liberal if he questions government involvement in one of the most democratic function of all – elections?

The question remains why has this Leftist not fallen on his sword or better turned to the darkside?
