Twitter will finally end their list service that blatantly favors liberal politicians while excluding conservative ones.

<p>Twitter will finally <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/lachlan-markay/2009/11/17/twitter-ends-list-service-after-democratic-favoritism-surfaces" target="_blank">end their list service</a> that blatantly favors liberal politicians while excluding conservative ones.</p>
<p>The list service in question provides new Twitter users with lists of users they might like to follow &#8212; like say…other liberals.</p>
<p>It should be very disturbing to all Americans that powerful companies like Google and now Twitter constantly show favoritism and shill for left-wingers.</p>
<p>Google is in bed with the Obama administration and now Twitter is trying to influence political races. It’s outrageous.</p>
<p>It’s inconceivable to me how a successful company based in California can honestly want liberal democrats elected to anything. It’s bizarre. California is in total collapse after decades of leftist economic and environmental policies. Taxes are driving business out of the state at record numbers.</p>
<p>But for some reason companies like Google, Twitter, Apple, etc. want more of the same. They want to give more of their profits to the federal government. They want more environmental regulations to squeeze their businesses. They want to lose more freedom.</p>
<p>I just don’t get it. Are they just ideological Kool-Aid drinkers or is it something else? What am I missing?&#160; </p>

<p>When I watched President Obama’s big speech on health care the other night I was watching it on Fox News &#8212; or so I thought.</p>
<p>It turns out I was suffering some type of hallucination. According to The Huffington Post’s Andy Ostroy, Fox News <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andy-ostroy/fox-news-emfair-and-balan_b_283020.html" target="_blank">didn’t air the Obama speech</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>So President Barack Obama on Wednesday night gave the most important speech of his presidency on an issue, health-care reform, which has taken center-stage in American politics over the past several months. Every single major network and cable-tv news network carried the prime-time address live&#8230;except the self-proclaimed <em>Fair and Balanced</em> Fox News. </p>
<p>How better to continue dumbing-down your audience than to censor what they see and hear that just might spoil their partisan delusion. Why give them another side of an issue? Why expose them to a radical/socialist/communist/fascist/terrorist like Obama, right? (can you actually be <em>all </em>of those things at the same time, as he&#8217;s been accused?) Wouldn&#8217;t the fair and balanced thing to do be to simply, well, be <em>fair and balanced</em>? To let your viewers see the speech and make up their <em>own</em> minds? Nah, that would spoil the fun and prevent despicable blatant liars like Fox&#8217;s Sean Hannity from deceiving its audience with its decidedly <em>unfair</em> and <em>unbalanced </em>reporting. </p>
<p>For example, on his program after Obama&#8217;s speech, Hannity, during an interview with Republican pollster/analyst Frank Luntz, said that Obama<em>&quot;said tonight that insurance company executives are bad people!&quot; </em>&quot; But if Fox&#8217;s viewers had actually <em>seen</em> the speech, they&#8217;d know what the president <em>actually</em> said: <em>&quot;Insurance executives don&#8217;t treat their customers badly because they&#8217;re bad people; they do it because it&#8217;s profitable.&quot;</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Like most Fox haters, Ostroy has revealed through his ignorant writing that he doesn’t watch Fox News. He’s most likely never watched Fox News.</p>
<p>Fox News carried the speech live while Fox broadcasting did not. The O’Reilly Factor aired immediately <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-dominates-obama-address-coverage-msnbc-2-in-prime-time/" target="_blank">after the speech</a> and included an interview with David Axelrod. Hannity aired after O’Reilly and he had Frank Luntz as a guest.</p>
<p>You can look for Ostroy’s incredibly stupid post to pull a disappearing act within the hour I predict. That’s okay though, I’ve already downloaded a <a href="http://thehotjoints.com/Documents/Andy-Ostroy-FoxNews.jpg" target="_blank">complete screen capture</a> in case memories get fuzzy.</p>

<p>Federal authorities failed to follow through on plans to <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090903/ap_on_re_us/us_wildfires_prescribed_burns" target="_blank">burn away</a> highly flammable brush at the edge of L.A. to prevent raging forest fires. </p>
<p>After battling environmental groups in the courts the U.S. Forest Service finally obtained a permit to do a controlled burn on more than 1,700 acres of Angeles National Forest. </p>
<p>Due to pressure from liberal groups the Feds dragged their feet and only cleared a 193 acres before the wildfires sparked.</p>
<p>Even though this latest blaze has burned more than 5 dozen homes and killed two firefighters, a biologist with the Center for Biological Diversity had this to say (emphasis mine):</p>
<blockquote><p>iologist Ileene Anderson with the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental organization, said <strong>burn permits should be difficult to get because of the potential damage to air quality. Clearing chaparral by hand or machine must be closely scrutinized because it can hurt native species.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Notice the enviro-kooks always look out for everything except human beings. It doesn’t matter how many people or homes burn as long as the “native species” are not harmed.</p>
<p>People in California need to wake the hell up and take their state back from the environmental Marxists and loony progressives. Until they do, California will continue falling apart.</p>

<p>You only need a passing glance to know immediately what party Konop represents. This kid is a poster-boy for eco-conscious, Prius driving progressives you’d like to punch.</p>
<p>Ben decided it would be good politics to hold a press conference in front of the house where his mother grew up. What Ben didn’t know is that Maxwell the neighbor thinks he’s a lying tool and wasn’t going to let him have his press conference.</p>
<p>I’m normally opposed to shouting people down, but I had a visceral dislike for this Konop character after only seeing him for 30-seconds.</p>

This week he attacks the liberal media for attempting to tie the Holocaust Museum shooter and others to the Conservative movement.</p>
<p>Here’s a little taste:</p>
<blockquote><p>While Mr. von Brunn is currently being made out to be the poster child of the Republican Party, even a cursory look at his professed views shows he is the avowed enemy of the GOP in its current incarnation. Among many others, Mr. von Brunn hates Rupert Murdoch, Fox News (that means you, too, Shep!), George W. Bush and John McCain. And according to the FBI, Mr. von Brunn even had in his vehicle the address of the Weekly Standard, home base of the dreaded &quot;neo-cons.&quot; </p>
<p>Seems Mr. von Brunn wasn&#8217;t a big fan of the Iraq War and also believed that 9/11 was an &quot;inside job.&quot; Given this political sketch, Mr. von Brunn would feel at home at Camp Casey, Cindy Sheehan&#8217;s antiwar outpost in Crawford, Texas, and at the Daily Kos convention, rather than partaking in a National Review cruise with pro-Israeli war hawks Mark Steyn and Victor Davis Hanson. </p>
<p>The inconvenient truth is that David Duke and James von Brunn currently share more in common with Markos Moulitsas and Arianna Huffington than with Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer. But the right wouldn&#8217;t be so crass or foolish to try to blame the political left for the existence of &#8211; or motivation behind &#8211; haters like Mr. von Brunn.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It’s the left side of the aisle that hates Jews. You won’t find anyone at a Conservative gathering wearing pro-Palestinian or pro-Hamas attire, but you’ll sure as hell see it at any <strike>liberal</strike> “progressive” rally.</p>
<p>How ironic that just a couple of days after the Holocaust Museum shooting, Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Wright, said “<a href="http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/06/10/rev-wright-on-obama-them-jews-arent-going-to-let-him-talk-to-me/" target="_blank">them Jews</a>” won’t let him talk to Obama. </p>
<p>He went on to blather about “Zionism” controlling the government and other such nonsense. Sounds pretty racist to me, and Wright is to the left of Karl Marx.</p>
<p>The reality is that the surge in violence is primarily a cause of the economic downturn. A surge in violence almost always accompanies a recession or depression.</p>
<p>The people who were barely hanging on to their sanity prior to the recession are starting to snap.</p>
<p>It doesn’t have anything to do with political parties. It’s about crazy and not crazy.</p>

<p>One of the left’s favorite things to do is “out” gay republican politicians. I happen to share their disdain for republicans who crusade against gay rights and turn out to be gay themselves. That kind of hypocrisy really is just too much.</p>
<p>However, it’s when the left tries to “out” republicans just because they’re republicans through nefarious <a href="http://www.fitsnews.com/2009/06/02/lesbian-democrat-outs-three-republicans/" target="_blank">whisper campaigns and gossip</a> that bug me.</p>
<p>A republican senator or congressman who’s above the age of 40 and still single <em>must</em> be gay &#8212; according to the left.</p>
<p>Oddly, it’s the same leftists who howl about gays being treated equally that relish outing gay republicans as if being gay were something bad.</p>
<p>A favorite target of lefty homophobes is Sen. Lindsey Graham. Liberals often talk about Graham being gay as if it’s an established fact that everyone already knows.</p>
<p>Proud lesbian lefty and former democratic congressional candidate Linda Ketner is the latest one to “out” allegedly gay republicans.</p>
<p>In an <a href="http://firedoglake.com/2009/05/30/blue-america-meet-linda-ketner/" target="_blank">interview</a> with far left blog Firedoglake, Ketner makes the claim that three South Carolina GOP politicians are gay.</p>
<p>She names Sen. Lindsey Graham, Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, and S.C. Senate President Glenn McConnell.</p>
<p>Ketner doesn’t actually know if the three are gay, but certainly thinks so based on what she’s heard.</p>
<p>Here’s the real point that liberals and gay activists are missing. The vast majority of republicans don’t really give a damn if someone is gay.</p>
<p>Folks who support Lindsey Graham are not going to scream in horror if they discover he’s gay and not vote for him anymore. As much as the left would love for that to happen it’s not.</p>
<p>Liberals often make the mistake (on purpose usually) of tying the gay marriage issue to a hatred of gays.</p>
<p>Just because a person thinks the word “marriage” should remain legally defined as being between a man and a woman doesn’t show a hatred of gays.</p>
<p>In California, gay couples get ALL the same rights as married couples do, but it’s just not called “marriage.”</p>
<p>So demonizing <a href="http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/05/05/miss-californias-scandalous-photos/" target="_blank">Carrie Prejean</a>, staging dramatic protests, and invoking Martin Luther King Jr. is about nothing more than semantics.</p>
<p>Gays want that damn marriage word and nothing short of it. To hell with all the legal rights they just want that damn word!</p>
<p>But, that’s another issue &#8212; back to outing gay republicans.</p>
<p>I happen to like Lindsey Graham. Many conservatives think he’s too much of a RINO (Republican In Name Only), but nevertheless he’s a good guy.</p>
<p>His sexual orientation is totally irrelevant. Whether or not he likes dudes has no impact whatsoever on his performance as a U.S. Senator.</p>
<p>Again, it’s the same people who want special hate crime laws to protect gays and pretend to be champions of gay rights, who also try and publically humiliate other allegedly gay people with whom they disagree.</p>
<p>This of course is the usual rank hypocrisy you get from the left &#8212; so I’m not really surprised.</p>
