NPR: Cutting off taxpayer funding is interfering with freedom of the press

The liberals socialists commies that run NPR (into the ground) are totally clueless and think everyone is as stupid as them and the imbeciles who listen to their horrendous programming.

“The proposal to prohibit public radio stations from using Corporation for Public Broadcasting grants to purchase NPR programming interjects federal authority into local station program decision-making. “This legislation would ultimately dictate the daily editorial schedules and news programs of nearly one thousand public radio stations across America.”

Huh??? It doesn’t interject anything because without the federal (taxpayer) funding they’re free to broadcast whatever crappy programs they want without any type of federal oversight. These people are morons.

They claim that only two percent of their annual budget comes from the taxpayers, even though the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees NPR, says it received $420 million, of which about $90 million went to NPR.

Right after the Juan Williams firing late last year, after Williams said he gets nervous if he’s on a plane and he sees a muslim onboard, NPR president Vivian Schiller attempted to go into damage-control mode, but failed miserably, saying that “NPR receives less than 2 percent annually, on average, from government grants, of their annual budget of $166 million.”

Yeah right. You how you can tell when a lib is lying? Their lips are moving.

CPB/NPR also receives taxpayer money from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Departments of Education and Commerce, not to mention the private donations it receives from various lefty foundations and private citizens from its almost daily beg-fests, where for only a $200 donation you get a $2 CD.

But let’s suppose only 2% of their annual budget is taxpayer funded, that’s $3.32 million. What happened to the other, oh, about $86.68 million of our money?

It turns out that these taxpayer-supplied funds are used in what is nothing more than an elaborate shell game. Some of the money goes to NPR to pay for their programming, and some of it goes to local NPR stations, which then have to buy their programming from NPR, so most of the money ends up in the coffers where it started, at CPB/NPR.

Since they claim only get two percent of their budget from us, I’m sure they could find alternative sources for those funds. I’m certain there are a lot of democrats socialists who are millionaires and billionaires that could fund them. George Soros already donates millions to NPR. Let him cover their tab if he thinks the pollution that is NPR’s programming is so vitally important.

The one thing that pisses me off about the bill being written by Republicans is that it would only cut off funding for NPR, not the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

In these days of satellite and cable TV offering hundreds of stations, not to mention satellite and terrestrial Radio with thousands of stations, and of course the internet, there’s no reason whatsoever our money should be used for airing their far left-wing agenda on radio or TV, especially considering the trillions of dollars of debt the libs and some RINOS have racked up in the last few years.

Yeah, I’m a mean SOB, but I say cancel Big Bird and Barney if we have to pay for them! Maybe at the swamp they can put a recipe for Barney burgers in the LFG cookbook.

Weasel Zippers has the scoop (h/t: vagabond trader):

“Together We Thrive”: Slogan From Tucson Massacre Memorial Souvenir T-Shirts Appeared on Obama’s “Organizing For America” Website in 2008…

Could Baghdad Bob have been lying?

Together We Thrive logo T-shirts draped over the back of grandstand seats

Read and listen to the rest.

Strictly pigsville…

Pig smiley

Nobody but a pig would even wear a T-shirt of any type to a memorial service, let alone peddle them at one.

But using a memorial service to distribute T-shirts with an old political campaign slogan? That has to be a new low.

Pathetic…Liberal hypocrites never see a tragedy they won’t exploit and politicize

And of course, this surprises no one. Their phony righteous indignation of the Tucson shooting by an unstable sociopath is obviously playing politics with the deaths of six innocent people, and the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others.

Let’s start with lib sissy boy Jonathan Alter, Newsweak writer, who said: “Can Obama Turn Tragedy Into Triumph?”

W.T.F.???

Let me ask you this: What kind of sick liberal  scumbag who writes for a supposedly national news magazine, would have the audacity to actually say something like that, talking about turning the murder of six people and the wounding of 13 into a political triumph???

If there was ever proof that liberalism is a mental disorder, t Alter just proved it.

Even the idiot dimocrat Sheriff of Pima county, one Clarence Dumbnik, I mean Dupnik, did it, for which he should be not only ashamed, but, if possible, impeached, or subjected to a recall election, or voted out of office, the next time he runs for re-election.

Last I checked, the job of law enforcement, especially the chief law enforcement officer of any jurisdiction, is to investigate the shooting, NOT POLITICIZE IT, especially just a few hours after it happens, when all the facts are not known!

But he probably isn’t ashamed at all, since to most dimocrats, all that matters is to exploit the tragedy for whatever political gain can be used against conservatives and the GOP, and to hell with the victims, their families, and the truth.

And the dimocrat “leadership” obviously agrees:

“The sheriff out there in Tucson, I think he’s got it right,” Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., the assistant minority whip, told “Fox News Sunday.” “Words do have consequences. And I think that we have to really — this is nothing new. I’ve been saying this for a long time now.”

“I think the sheriff was right,” said minority whip Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., who appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” (another show almost no one watches):

“Bob, when you and I grew up, we grew up listening to essentially three major news outlets: NBC, ABC, and of course, CBS. We listened to people like Walter Cronkite and Eric Sevareid, and Huntley-Brinkley, and they saw their job as to inform us of the facts and we would make a conclusion,” Hoyer said. “Far too many broadcasts now and so many outlets have the intent of inciting, and inciting people to opposition, to anger, to thinking the other side is less than moral. And I think that is a context in which somebody who is mentally unbalanced can somehow feel justified in taking this kind of action. And I think we need to all take cognizance of that and be aware that what we say can, in fact, have consequences.”

Walter Cronkite? This tells us all we need to know about Hoyer. Cronkite was nothing more than yet another in a long line of liberal liars in the media who spun the news to fit his far-left agenda.

Hey Steny, ever hear the insane vitriol that comes out of the piehole of that douchebag Keith Olbermann, and on other shows just about nobody watches on MSNBC?

Here’s a short 81 second video of Dumbnik justifying Blaming Rush-

Then Megyn Kelly on Fox News asked Dumbnik about politicizing the tragedy, and when questioned about whether talk radio or anything similar had anything to do with this case, the sheriff could not support his claims, but said he has no regrets.

Of course not. Again, the ends justify the means to libturds, the truth be damned. Although why she allowed him to blame the Republicans without objecting, and even agreeing with him, bothers me. I hope she misunderstood what he said.

BTW, Dumbnik even admitted he knew the suspect in Saturday’s shooting rampage was unstable and had been known to make death threats in the past. The police had gone to the college Loughner attended five times due to concerns from his teachers and classmates that he was mentally unstable.

The libs didn’t even wait until after the shooter or his victims were identified to start exploiting this tragedy. They don’t give a Goddamn about them! They’re nothing but props to be exploited by these pathetic libturd losers.

That imbecile who writes for the New York Slimes, well, okay, almost everyone who writes for that worthless rag that no self-respecting dead fish would want to be wrapped in is an imbecile, but Paul Krugman was by far lower than whale shit.

Within two hours of the shootings, he was already posting on his NY Slimes blog fantasizing about how this could be used to hurt the GOP. I wouldn’t be surprised if the moron’s pants were around his ankles and a jar of vasoline was next to his keyboard.

The libs used the same old tired drivel they always use- Blaming Rush and talk radio, Fox News, the internet, Sarah Palin, easy access to guns, Tea Parties etc. I’m half surprised they couldn’t figure out a way to blame Bush and Cheney.

But being libs, they revert to their ages-old pathetic playbook- Blame everyone but the person responsible for shooting those people.

To libs, the perpetrator is almost never at fault, but rather a victim him or herself wronged by society. There’s always some underlying reason excuse for whatever crime they commit, be it poverty, coming from a broken home, racism, or whatever the liberal gripe du jour is.

But most outrageous, by far, was the dimocrats blaming Sarah Palin for her map “targeting” her opponents with crosshairs as causing this. That was the ultimate act of unmitigated hypocrisy, since the dimocrats used targets, rather than crosshairs, on the DLC (Dimocratic Leadership Council) website for Republicans they wanted to defeat. Scroll about half way down the page and see for yourself. Even the words they used- “The heartland strategy begins by choosing likely targets for Democratic gains.” calling it going ‘Behind enemy lines”, denotes a “war”.

And I won’t even get into the many incendiary statements made by the idiot in the White House, such as when referring to battling with Republicans Obungler said “If they bring a knife, we’ll bring a gun” or “Get in their faces!”.

And finally, I doubt any conservative, moderate Republican, independent, or sensible Democrat would list the “Communist Manifesto” or “Mein Kampf” as one of their favorite books. Even the shooter’s classmates described him as “a left wing pothead”.

He is also a 9-11 troofer, which, again, is a kook movement owned and operated 100% by the left, since they blame the Bush administration for actually bringing down the towers to justify going to war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Anchors Aweigh on Anchor Babies

Four GOP lawmakers have proposed a bill that would end automatic granting of American citizenship to children born in the United States to illegal immigrants.

And of course, the libturds are screaming “RACISM!!!”. And to prove its racist, they ask a member of one of their many perpetually offended liberal groups, La Raza, a racist organization. Go figure.

Of course, this bill will most likely pass in the House, but no way Harry Reid (Dimocrat, NV) allows it to even get voted on in the Senate, and even if by chance it somehow was voted on and passed there, no way Obungler signs it.

I’m certain most of us here feel this way: We have no problem with people from other countries (other than muslim countries) coming here, as long as they come here LEGALLY AND DO NOT NEED TAXPAYER-FUNDED FINANCIAL SUPPORT OR ANY TYPE OF WELFARE!

Now, all that being said, the area where I live in Missouri part of the year has many poultry-processing plants. Most of their employees are from one of four countries- Mexico, Guatamala, Ecuador, or Honduras, and most of those people are here illegally, working for $7-9 per hour, doing jobs “that Americans won’t do”, as the libs and RINOS keep reminding us.

When these illegal parasites have their children here, we end paying for their births, costing thousands of taxpayer dollars per baby, since the vast majority have no health insurance. But just because the kids are U.S. citizens (for now), it doesn’t give the parents here illegally any right to stay here.

Nothing pisses me off more than going to the grocery store, picking up what I need, and waiting in line to pay, and seeing these illegal criminal aliens paying for their food with an EBT card or WIC card. We already have too many American-born leeches collecting welfare to start allowing parasites from third-world shitholes to get on the public dole.

Anchors Aweigh on Anchor Babies

Republicans are moving forward to eliminate one of the most contentious and obvious abuses of the U.S. Constitution: birthright citizenship. This measure was put forward in the 14th Amendment as means of ensuring that former slaves and their children would be American citizens. However, now we see how that Amendment is being twisted as the children of illegal aliens are instantly granted citizenship even though their parents are not Americans and have no intention to be. Something has to give.

As reported by Fox News, “Four Republican lawmakers introduced legislation Thursday that would end automatic granting of American citizenship to children born in the United States to illegal immigrants, arguing “birthright citizenship” is an incentive for illegals to race for the U.S. border.”

Reps. Steve King of Iowa, George Miller of California and Rob Woodall and Phil Gingrey, both of Georgia, said the current practice of extending U.S. citizenship to so-called “anchor babies” is a “misapplication” of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

“Passage of this bill will ensure that immigration law breakers are not rewarded, will close the door to future waves of extended family chain migration, and will help to bring an end to the global ‘birth tourism’ industry,” King said.
