The result is a major shift in the source of personal income from private wages to government programs.</p></blockquote><p>What’s important for people to realize is that this was all done by design. The intention of the Obama administration from day one has been to weaken and ultimately deal a death blow to the private sector.

He opened for Sarah Palin and sang his now famous song “American Heart” coast to coast and turned it into a YouTube sensation.</p><p>He also regularly wrote for Andrew Breitbart’s “<a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/author/jdavid/" target="_blank">Big Hollywood</a>.” Kahn says he took the name Jon David and disguised himself with hat and glasses out of fear of retribution in his work life.</p><p>Kahn writes screenplays and soundtracks for major motion pictures and he says being a Conservative is the kiss of death in Hollywood.</p><p>He doesn’t really care about that anymore according to the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703686304575229073540353644.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_MIDDLENexttoWhatsNewsTop" target="_blank">WSJ</a>. He says he’s lived in the shadows his entire adult life unable to speak his mind and he’s done with that. Kahn actually had two different mailing addresses and has literally been living a double life.</p><p>He recently took a picture with Sarah and Todd Palin sans his dark glasses and says he’s through covering up. His horrified sister-in-law ran from the room when he tried to show her and refuses to even look at him.</p><p>What the hell is wrong with these left-wingers? Why is it the people who claim the mantle of “tolerance” and “justice” are so damn intolerant?</p><p>Here’s Jon David:</p><p><a href="http://www.thehotjoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/JonDavid.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Jon David" border="0" alt="JonDavid thumb Tea Party Musician Turns Out To Be Famous Hollywood Screenwriter" src="http://www.thehotjoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/JonDavid_thumb.jpg" width="297" height="198" /></a></p><p>Here’s Jonathan Kahn:</p><p><a href="http://www.thehotjoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/DavidKahn.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="David Kahn" border="0" alt="DavidKahn thumb Tea Party Musician Turns Out To Be Famous Hollywood Screenwriter" src="http://www.thehotjoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/DavidKahn_thumb.jpg" width="298" height="199" /></a></p></p><p>Kudos to Jonathan Kahn for having the courage to come out as a Conservative. It’s quite possible he’ll have a difficult time selling his screenplays now which is pretty damn sad.</p><p>I can’t stand liberals, but I would never deny them a job if they were qualified or refuse to speak to them. I wouldn’t shun a friend because he turned out to be liberal. It’s bizarre and sick what these people do and they should be ashamed.</p><p>Here’s Jonathan Khan singing “American Heart”:</p><p> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VIlqy8siV5g&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VIlqy8siV5g&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><p>Here’s the full song:</p><p> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_IUw71xCcnc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_IUw71xCcnc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/05/18/tea-party-musician-turns-out-to-be-famous-hollywood-screenwriter/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Video: Black Tea Partiers Sound Off About Race-Baiting Liberals</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/04/19/video-black-tea-partiers-sound-off-about-race-baiting-liberals/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/04/19/video-black-tea-partiers-sound-off-about-race-baiting-liberals/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 19 Apr 2010 20:34:12 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Conservatives]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[black conservatives]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Keith Olbermann]]></category> <category><![CDATA[liberal media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MSNBC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[phony racism]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tea parties]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tea party]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/04/19/video-black-tea-partiers-sound-off-about-race-baiting-liberals/</guid> <description><![CDATA[This is good stuff.

It was neither helpful nor appreciated.</p><p>After Farah’s speech, Andrew Brietbart rightly <a href="http://washingtonindependent.com/75949/birther-speaker-takes-heat-at-tea-party-convention" target="_blank">criticized</a> him and urged people to reject that kind of nonsense.</p><blockquote><p>“It’s self-indulgent, it’s narcissistic, it’s a losing issue…It’s a losing situation. If you don’t have the frigging evidence — raising the question? You can do that to Republicans all day long. You have to disprove that you’re a racist! Forcing them to disprove something is a nightmare….We have a lot of strong arguments to be making, and that is a primary argument. That is an argument for the primaries that did not take hold. The arguments that these people right here are making are substantive arguments. The elections in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts were all won not on birther, but on substance.”</p></blockquote><p>The list of things to attack President Obama on is long and distinguished, but his citizenship is a non-issue. It’s petty, it’s stupid, and more importantly there’s no evidence. The only people who believe Obama is not really a US citizen at this point are the kooks. Anyone who cares about winning elections or the Tea Party movement in general should stay the hell away from the kooks.</p><p>The “birthers” should get together with the “<a href="http://www.911truth.org/" target="_blank">9/11 Truthers</a>” and the “<a href="http://www.freedomfiles.org/war/fema.htm" target="_blank">Fema Camp</a>” conspiracy folks and form a new party. They can have their own conventions and give fiery conspiracy laden speeches all they want.</p><p>Just stay the hell away from Tea Parties, Republican Conventions, and anywhere else sane, rational people gather &#8212; we have elections to win and Democrats to defeat.</p><p>-Chris Jones</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/02/07/breitbart-is-right-about-the-birther-talk/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Video: Sarah Palin&#8217;s Tea Party Speech</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/02/06/video-sarah-palins-tea-party-speech/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/02/06/video-sarah-palins-tea-party-speech/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 07 Feb 2010 04:26:39 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Conservatives]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[nashville tea party]]></category> <category><![CDATA[palin tea party speech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sarah palin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sarah palin keynote]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tea parties]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tea party]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/02/06/video-sarah-palins-tea-party-speech/</guid> <description><![CDATA[]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VtBP4tOy27E&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VtBP4tOy27E&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p><p><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KI3hzf4Rvs4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KI3hzf4Rvs4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p><p><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v7WCPURhyUg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v7WCPURhyUg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p><p><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZZ8PQPmDkTc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZZ8PQPmDkTc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p><p><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/acIr_dMUn4o&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/acIr_dMUn4o&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/02/06/video-sarah-palins-tea-party-speech/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>David Brooks Is An Elitist Douchebag</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/01/05/david-brooks-is-an-elitist-douchebag/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/01/05/david-brooks-is-an-elitist-douchebag/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:50:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[david brooks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[educated class]]></category> <category><![CDATA[elitist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[phony conservative]]></category> <category><![CDATA[rino]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tea parties]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/01/05/david-brooks-is-an-elitist-douchebag/</guid> <description><![CDATA[NY Slimes Times columnist David Brooks is the very embodiment of what’s wrong with the GOP.
