Peace through Religious Freedom

There can be no peace in our world without true religious freedom. There can be no religious freedom in our world as long as people continue to turn a blind eye to the oppression and genocide committed against Christians around the world by islamic supremacists who seek dominion over the entire world. Our government and our media not only refuse to honestly address and take steps to prevent the impending global holocaust, they actually facilitate it by attempting to shut down any discussion of it through the intellectual enslavement of political correctness that will surrender our liberty and our lives to the enemy rather than risk offending the people who WANT TO KILL US no matter what we say/don't say or do/don't do. The islamists' holy texts orders them to force conversions to their death cult through violence and to enslave or kill all who do not bow in submission to them. When the islamist tells you otherwise, they are lying: Taqiyya - the practice of deceiving infidels to further the cause of islamic domination.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Christmas and Christians who need our prayers

May you all have a Blessed and Merry Christmas. Please remember to be thankful that you live in a place where you may celebrate this joyous holiday without fear of persecution, prison, violence or death and pray for those who are not so fortunate. Remember our brothers and sisters in Christ who are persecuted and terrorized around the world.

"Christians are the religious group which suffers most from persecution on account of its faith," - Pope Benedict XVI

Infuriating Email from Chuck Schumer

The same day news broke about the trillion dollar 2000 page Omnibus bill that the lame ducks intended to cram down America's throat (without having anyone voting on it actually read it) I signed a strongly worded petition against the egregious acts of the lame duck Congress against the American people and it was sent to my outgoing Congressman John Hall and my two CRAPTASTIC Senators, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand.

Test

I've just installed Intense Debate (I think) to this blog to make commenting more fun and hopefully, easier.
The last time I tried to install a new way of commenting I lost ALL the comments to this blog, so the new Intense debate feature will only appear on new posts here.

Femininican!

Feminism is better termed femisogyny because it is an ideology which hates all things feminine in women. They say that we degrade ourselves when we honor the traditional feminine roles of wives and mothers. They claim that you can't be a true "feminist" unless you embrace abortion, divorce and spew non-stop anti-male vitriol at every opportunity. They seem to be the real enemies of womanhood if you ask me.

Reminder!

Zilla of the Resistance has a new URL because this blog has moved from Blogspot to the MareZilla.com Network!

He really just isn't that into the job anymore

Obama leaves in the middle of a press conference, again leaving a Clinton in charge - this time it's Hillary:

A Moment of Peace

Today is just chock full of bad news from the Obama administration, the islamic supremacists, the illegal alien invaders and those damned lame ducks.

I've posted about it over at the A-C page if you want to catch up on it, or just glance over to the right from here and see what my fellow bloggers are saying over in the blogroll.

Our Tax Dollars 'Saved or Created' Jobs - OVERSEAS!

Our economy is a mess - millions of Americans are out of work and those who do have jobs are finding it increasingly difficult to afford the ever rising costs of living. With this in mind, it might make sense for the Obama administration to direct some of our tax dollars towards job creation, but what doesn't make sense is the fact that millions of our dollars are being used by the Obama administration to create jobs in foreign countries!

Jihad Terrorist Attack in Sweden

Of course, you wouldn't know that it was ISLAMIC TERRORISTS to blame from the dhimmi media!

Two explosions in a busy shopping area filled with Christmas shoppers in Stockholm have killed one and injured two at latest report.

S.O.S. Clerical error edition

You ever have one of those days where you've carefully budgeted your money so that you'll be just about able to fix your car, feed your family & have a modest Christmas only to find out that some dingus hit the wrong button in an office somewhere and cleaned out your checking account? I'm having one of those days.

TSA Insanity: Trained by Islamic Supremacists

The outrage over the TSA idiocy has largely died down in the public arena, even as the Gate Rapes and carcinogenic porn scans continue. Like frogs swimming in slowly increasingly heated water, the sheeple won't realize how bad things have gotten until it is far to late to save themselves.

The latest "big stories" regarding the TSA in the MSM are all about Khloe Kardashian getting pilloried after she (correctly) likened the Gate Rapes to sexual assault and a former Baywatch Star being subjected to a carcinogenic porn scan because she has a nice body. Of course they don't bother to report on REAL the scandals involving the TSA, but I will!

The MareZilla.com Network is Live!

If you've noticed that I have not blogged much lately, thank you for noticing! I have been busy setting up my own domain, website & network and now the MareZilla.com Network is live and active!

Unintended Consequences

Now that I have my own domain, MareZilla.com, I thought it would be just spiffy to put my blogs on it - and it is, but there are a few things I didn't realize would happen. I had about 80 blogs listed in my blogroll here before I changed my url, and now they are GONE. I can't remember all of them off the top of my head, either. If you were in my blogroll or have a right-blog that you would like to see in my blogroll, please let me know so I can add it. This is messing me up because I often come here and check out the feed to get ideas to post about & also post to the A-C page.
I wonder if my blogs still update in other blogs who've added me.

If you have me or would like to have me in your blogroll, please update my listing to the new url for
Zilla of the Resistance 
http://zillablog.marezilla.com/

A Place of My Own

I am the proud new owner of my very own domain and website, MareZilla.com! I have so many different online projects that it gets hard to keep track of it all, I'm hoping to use MareZilla.com as a way to house them all in one convenient, easy to use place. I've never done any sort of web design, so it is a work in progress and I am learning as I go along. Ideally, I'll be able to import my blogs there - if I can figure out how.

If anyone with experience in this sort of thing has any helpful hints, please share them with me. i'll keep you posted on it's progress.

Thank you all for your encouragement and support.

Fires Raging in Israel

Please hold the good people of Israel in your thoughts and prayers. Numerous fires have been raging there since Thursday, on the first day of Hanukkah, and over 40 people have already been killed, many injured and  families are facing losses of their homes, businesses and property.

Warped Priorities and Failure

The Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder was sent on a mission overseas by Barack Obama. What could be of such importance to our country that we'd send the head of the Department of Justice out of the country? Maybe he was sent to personally see to it that the Wikileaker is finally made to stop hurting America and bring him to justice? Not quite. The Obama administration deemed that the best use of our tax dollars and our country's top law guy was to go to Switzerland to pitch for the World Cup soccer championships to be brought here in 2018 and 2022. Really.

Potluck!

If you aren't already following the Potluck blog, you really should add it to your reading list. It is the blog version of a potluck buffet dinner, with a group of terrific bloggers (some of my favorites) posting and discussing interesting topics in a right-blog smorgasbord of Conservative awesomeness.

Priorities?

Over the weekend, Obama's Department of Homeland Security seized and shut down some 70 web domains without warning because they were distributing bootlegged music and videos.

Outrage, Incompetence, Overreach & Dhimmitude Roundup

Here is a roundup of some of the madness we covered at the A-C page this week that you may have missed...

Gate Rapes and Radioactive Nudie Pics for Airports, Buses, Trains, Boats and American Streets - Even Without Your Knowledge Or Consent

As Americans everywhere express their outrage over the TSA's Gate Raping and radioactive involuntary pornography of innocent people (including young children), the Obama administration has decided that it will expand their violations of Americans' Fourth Amendment rights to buses, trains and boats too. I assume the molesters in these new locations will continue to ignore basic hygiene and not change their gloves between Gate Rapes there either; spread of bedbugs, lice, crabs and infectious diseases don't matter as long as they are making sure to trample on Americans' basic freedoms and demoralize us all while taking great pains to  avoid offending muslims under the farcical claim that they are keeping us safe (how are we safe when they refuse to acknowledge that all of the planes hijacked and blown up were done so at the hands of ISLAMIC TERRORISTS?).

A Little Sunshine

As it turns out, the 12 + hours that I spent putting together my Super Extensive TSA Outrage Roundup last week barely scratched the surface of the sheer lunacy which has been happening in our country and at our airports. So much more has happened since then and many more atrocious stories have surfaced, but We the People have been making a lot of noise and even the tone deaf MSM appears to be hearing at least some of it. Keep it up; the CRAPTASTICs will be made to feel the heat even as they try to shun the light. Of course in addition to the TSA debacle, there have been many more offenses committed against our country by Obama and his cabal of power mad tyrannical kooks, but I'm not using this blog post for that right now - you can easily get caught up on what's been happening at the A-C page (we post a high volume of links daily so be sure to scroll down for older posts) or some of the other amazing right-blogs that are out there (check out my blogroll on the right side of this page to see some of my personal favorite blogs). Right now I'd like to take a moment for something else...

People Helping People Blog Love Edition

As I briefly explained in my last post, I have recently found myself in a position where I needed to ask for help; I've been trying to sell ad space on my blogs and installed "tip jar" donation buttons to them. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has reached out to help me with donations, prayers and encouragement. Thank you all so much, may the good Lord richly bless you for your kindness.

Super Extensive TSA Outrage Roundup

I've been all over the outrageous offenses committed by the TSA against innocent American people since Sunday over at my A-C Page, but I haven't blogged about until now due to some personal issues. (Hint, there's a reason why I'm trying to sell ad space on my blogs and have installed "Tip Jar" donation buttons for kind hearted readers to utilize if they feel inclined to do so.) Here's some of the stuff you may have missed:

The Time is Upon Us - Are You Ready?

The Time has come. No longer can we turn a blind eye to the forces of evil which seek to destroy our very existence because we are afraid of being "offensive". The wolves aren't simply scratching at the door, they are in our house because we invited them here, for fear of appearing intolerant. Ignoring evil isn't "intolerance", it is suicide.

The time for fear has passed, it is time to cast off the restraints that have been placed on us through deception. We end it now.

Political Correctness is the language of fear and oppression and are the tools of the enemies of truth and freedom. If we are to stand for freedom and truth, we must be wholly unafraid. Trust in the power of truth and goodness, speak power into truth, freedom and goodness by being unafraid in your words and deeds.

THANK YOU, Veterans!

Today is Veterans' Day, of course we should be grateful every day, but today is the official holiday for those who answered the call to serve our country in the U.S. military. We owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. Thank You, to all of our Veterans and their families, God bless you and God Bless America.

Quoth the Gov't, Go Back to Sleeping

In the Western sky a rocket's glare seemed to be streaking
'What was that, a missile?'
Americans were speaking

Here's what I saw, make of it what you will.

So the Obamas are on their great super expensive Indian vacation, bought and paid for by the American Taxpayer. Rumors of it costing $200 million dollars a day are probably not true, but it's obviously still going to cost us a butt-load of money that we simply do not have to spare.

Vindicated!

I am Zilla, I proudly run the ANTI-C.R.A.P.TA.S.T.I.C. political information page on Facebook which was viciously attacked and slandered with lies from the campaign of Congressman John Hall (NY-19) in one of Hall's numerous attempts to silence free speech and suppress political dissent. As you can read HERE, we at the A-C page were falsely labeled as bigots, radicals and extremists when the facts about the A-C page are the polar opposite of those lies!

Now, for those uninformed people who took offense at the name of my page, if you had bothered to take 3 seconds to click our info tab, you'd know what it really means and what we really stand for; you would see that we fight against extremism in all its forms and if you'd looked at our content, you could clearly see that we are not bigots. But NO, you all had to be LAZY and wallow in your ignorance as you swallowed the lies that your elitist "leader" fed you. How does it taste now?

Where You Can Find Me This Election Night

I really wanted to to go the shin dig for the opponent of my nemesis John Hall (Nan Hayworth) tonight, but alas, that was not to be because Zilla is the mommy of two little kids who have boogy noses and they need me here with them. I'm leaving the live blog coverage to my more experienced peers in the right-blogosphere, as I am still fairly new to this, but I WILL be posting updates to the ANTI-C.R.A.P.T.A.S.T.I.C. page that I run on facebook until my eyes roll up in into the back of my head and I find myself face down in a puddle of drool in front of my computer tonight.

Catholics Slaughtered at Church in Evil Jihadi Attack - UPDATED

Yesterday, as the Faithful gathered for Sunday Mass at the Our Lady of Salvation Church in Baghdad, Iraq, jihadis stormed the Cathedral and held parishioners hostage for hours before Iraqi forces arrived to end the siege, at which point the islamists brutally murdered dozens of innocent people - including priests and many of those who'd gathered to worship. Not much mention of this in the Catholic hating MSM, unsurprisingly.

Why Congressman John Hall (NY-19) MUST be Stopped!

Democratic Socialist of America member Congressman John Hall is up for de-election on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Republican Nan Hayworth is running to replace him in Congress.

I live in NY-19 and will be voting for Nan Hayworth, a decision I'd made long before John Hall launched a smear campaign against me and the political information page that I run.

50 Nukes Go Incommunicado, White House Insists "It's Not That Big of a Deal"!

Over the weekend, 50 nuclear missiles went off-line for about an hour on Saturday due to some sort of technical malfunction. A White House official insists, "It's not that big of a deal."

Mr. Obama, the American People are not "Enemies" who Need to be "Punished"

Barack Obama told a group of Hispanics that the majority of American people, who oppose amnesty for criminal illegal alien invaders, are "enemies" who need to be "punished".

Abuse Must Not be Tolerated - by Anyone - Ever

As the election draws near, we are seeing an increase in vicious acts of hatred and violence. Look at how the President and Vice President along with nearly all the other politicians and associates in their camp have degraded themselves and their repective offices by saying horrible things about average American people simply because those people disagree with them or are not as enthusiastic about them as they may have once been. Additionally, we've got sitting Congressman not only saying vile and untrue things about their opponents and their own constituents, but some of them are even physically assaulting people! This mustn't be tolerated.

Not an Overhaul but a Much Needed Tune-Up

Those familiar with my work as Zilla likely see me as someone quite formidable and not one that should be crossed, but in truth, my abrasiveness is just a tiny part of me that comes from a small dark place in my soul which has recently been given far too much air time. That ends now.

Do Not Succumb to the Darkness

The left has been ratcheting up the hatred, vitriol and even violence as they become completely unhinged due to the retribution that they know is coming after all they have wrought. In recent weeks we've heard some truly nasty language directed towards us from the ruling class, and they are now taking it to the next level by getting physical with their hatred, as demonstrated this past week by Democratic Congressmen Maurice Hinchey (NY-22) and today's A-C DBotD Award winner, Steny Hoyer (MD-5), the latter of which you can read about here, here, here, and here (also, of course, posted to the A-C page).

The Anti-Life Death Cult of Progressivism

A Swiss suicide clinic that helps people who are sick kill themselves, is now pushing to be able to kill off the healthy surviving family members of the euthanized as well! For this full on embrace of the culture of death, Dignitas suicide clinic head, Ludwig Minelli is the October 20, 2012 winner of the A-C DBotD award. Congratulations, Dr. Mengele, now please put your work to good use and kill yourself.

Lest You Think I'm Sexist...

Yeah, it sounds stupid, that a woman would be accused of sexism, but there are sexist women, who are venomously anti-man, but also there is the strange phenomenon of femisogynists on the left who say that all Conservatives, even female Conservatives, are "anti-women". They say that we degrade ourselves when we honor the traditional feminine roles of wives and mothers. They claim that you can't be a true "feminist" unless you embrace abortion, divorce and spew non-stop anti-male vitriol at every opportunity. They seem to be the real enemies of womanhood if you ask me. So this blog post is all about the "ladies", in the interest of "gender equality"...

NY-19 PUSHBACK!

Congressman John Hall (NY-19) will soon learn that actions have consequences.

Sunday Sundries

Today's winner of the A-C DBotD Award goes to Barack Obama for blaming the colossal failures of his regime on the American people, telling supporters that we have an "inability to think clearly"!
Seems to me that the people who aren't able to think clearly are the CRAPTASTICs like 0weblamer and the brainwashed minions who still shill for him along with the delusional lamestream media.

Zilla of the Reistance Added to the BEST Blogroll in the World!

Oh happy day! One of my favorite blogs, Pundit & Pundette has added Zilla of the Resistance to their blogroll AND named this little blog as their "newest BFF"!

Use Their Own Tools Against Them! Here's How...

In their arrogance, CRAPTASTICs have left the door wide open for any right minded individual to exploit their hubris to bring them down - USING THEIR OWN TOOLS! You see, Obama's creepy activist arm, Organizing for America has foolishly set up a phone bank program that is accessible to absolutely anyone and provides phone numbers, addresses, gender & age information for thousands of people that they want to convince to vote for Democrats (OfA is working for enemy of free speech Congressman John Hall in NY-19, by the way) - no security clearance, registration or login is required! Red State & Pajamas Media have been all over this story, because it violates people's privacy and makes them prime targets for identity theft, but nobody is talking about how we can use this to OUR advantage!
Here's what you do:

A-C DBotD Awards!

Every day we are inundated with outrageously offensive LIES told by CRAPTASTICs in an attempt to vilify all of us normal people who do not wish to see our beloved America become some pitiful third rate copy of Euro-socialist nations.

Congressman John Hall (NY-19) is among 70 Members of Congress who are Listed as Members of an Openly Socialist Organization

Socialist Congressman John Hall (NY-19) is a radical extremist with dangerous affiliations

Congressman John Hall has enjoyed the support of  Alinskyite puppet master George Soros, Obama's creepy activist group Organizing for America, anti-military MoveOn.org and other far left radical affiliations. John Hall also has a long standing political affiliation with disgraced corruptocrat Charles "what ME pay taxes?" Rangel. Congressman John Hall is also a member of the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA which has advocated for violence and even murder as a means to achieve its goals.

John Hall last week used his campaign to viciously attack and slander the moderate conservative political information page that I run by sending out a mass email to his supporters which LIED about my page, slandered its 560+ fans as "bigoted extremists" and said we were radical and dangerous. Of course he has no proof whatsoever for his vile accusations against me & my page, because we are none of those things he claimed, but he did demonstrate that he himself is radical, extreme and bigoted by attacking free speech and the right to express political dissent.

Tell Congressman John Hall to Stop Attacking Free Speech!

If you believe in the right to express political dissent and support free speech, if you hate communism and love America, and if you support the right of the ANTI-C.R.A.P.T.A.S.T.I.C. page and the fans of that page to not be the target of a smear campaign that is based on lies, call Congressman John Hall and demand that he cease and desist from attacking the ANTI-C.R.A.P.T.A.S.T.I.C. page, retract his vile accusations and apologize immediately!

My Rebuttal to Congressman John Hall's Slanderous Attack

Here is my rebuttal, in its entirety, to the slanderous attack Congressman John Hall (NY-19) launched against me and the facebook political information page that I run, ANTI-C.R.A.P.T.A.S.T.I.C. - I sent it to the author of yesterday's Daily News article, Celeste Katz, who wrote about the incident:


I am the founder of the facebook page, ANTI-C.R.A.P.T.A.S.T.I.C., which was written about in the NY Daily News yesterday and that Congressman John Hall (NY-19) unfairly attacked in an attempt to smear his political opponent, Nan Hayworth who is running against him in the November 2 election.

John Hall is angry because we endorsed Dr. Hayworth, but what he fails to realize is that we would have endorsed anybody who we thought could successfully win an election against him. Just because we endorse Nan Hayworth does not necessarily mean that she likes our page or has even heard of us until recently.

John Hall clearly does not understand how facebook works, just as he doesn't understand what it means to dutifully represent the people in his constituency. Nan Hayworth never posted anything from my page; when you post on facebook and "tag" someone who is either on your friend list or whose page you follow, it automatically appears on their page. That is what happened yesterday.

John Hall has slandered my page as an "extreme bigotted group" simply because we oppose the big government, big spending, Orwellian agenda that he and his fellow CRAPTASTICs are trying to force onto an unwilling populace. John Hall clearly has a problem with Constitutionally protected freedom of speech if it is not
done in agreement with the far left radical point of view.

Silencing political dissent is a hallmark of collectivist and totalitarian regimes, so I am really not at all surprised that John Hall would be in favor of it.

John Hall is typical of the elite ruling class who have nothing but contempt for anyone but themselves and their advocates. Mr. Hall needs to be reminded that he is a temporary employee who only gets to keep his job at the discretion of the people who he is being paid to represent, and we can see November from our houses.

Congressman John Hall (NY-19) Hates Free Speech!

Well friends, I've made the news, but not quite in the way I would have expected or hoped to, but hey, any publicity is better than none, right? The NY Daily News yesterday had an article about my CRAPTASTIC Congressman, Obamazombie John Hall (NY-19) which details his slanderous email attacking the ANTI-C.R.A.P.T.A.S.T.I.C. political information page that I run on facebook. You can view the insulting and lie filled email here.


Here's is the text of it, and its accompanied by screen shots of the A-C page from yesterday:

Dear Friend -

Just when you thought radical Nan Hayworth's coalition of
dangerous and extreme supporters could not get any crazier,
enter ANTI-C.R.A.P.T.A.S.T.I.C.

This extreme, bigoted group endorsed Nan Hayworth - and ultra-
conservative gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino - on her
Facebook page this morning.

We're not "extreme bigots", we post only the truth, using easily verifiable facts. We work to undermine the destructive leftist collectivists in our nation by exposing their dangerous agenda which seeks to ruin the country and usurp our freedom. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and CRAPTASTICs can't stand it when their dirty deeds are brought to light! Hall is using the standard meme that is axiomatic to those who hate regular people and who are desperate to hold onto their fleeting power: the racist/bigot card. Go through the ANTI-CRAPTASTIC page's posts and see if you can find anything bigoted at all. We fight against the bigotry of the lunatic fringe left every single day. Apparently, in John Hall's tiny collectivist mind, people who hate commies and love America and those who exercise their constitutionally protected right to free political speech are "extremist bigots".

He's using my endorsement of Nan Hayworth's campaign to replace him in Congress to smear her, because I tagged her in posts on the A-C page which made them appear on her page. He clearly doesn't understand how facebook works. Yet another aspect of average American life that elitist snob John Hall is completely out of touch on.

I voted for Neil DiCarlo in the primary, I only endorse Nan Hayworth because she's got a really great shot at defeating John Hall (who by the way accepted lots of money from disgraced corruptocrat extraordinaire, Charlie Rangel) and he needs to GO! 


Knowing how CRAPTASTICs operate and how they despise free political speech which dares to not glorify them, I will not be surprised if the A-C page vanishes from facebook or if I myself get banned. It's always a good idea for freedom loving patriots to have a contingency plan, this blog is part of mine. 


Long live the Resistance!

Even in your darkest hour, the light of the LORD is there for you

This is not my typical Zilla post. I'm taking a break from politics today to bring you a message that I was given to share...

Yesterday was looking to be a very bad day for me, and I had no way to change it but to pray and trust in God that things would be all right. By the end of the day they were. I am still here, by the grace of God.
He sent me aid and comfort and blessed me with kind and loving friends and even a stranger (who was just a friend I hadn't met yet).

This was not an isolated incident. So many times I have been to the brink of utter destruction, even near death experiences, and when all hope would appear to be lost, there He was to catch my fall and gently put me back to safety.

I know He does this for a reason, and there is an important lesson that I needed to learn.  I think I finally understand, and although I may not have the proper words to explain it, I know I need to share it with all who may need to learn it as well.

God hears our prayers, all of them, and He listens to our hearts. If we have faith and truly believe, all things are possible with His guidance.

Sometimes what He does for us is not obvious to our eyes, and we don't get exactly what we'd hoped for, but He sustains and protects us, in His way, and He never ever fails.


Today, I remembered a line I have heard before, so I looked it up; it's part of Psalm 118. I read the whole thing and I felt that I was meant to read it, and share it with you. So here it is below. May peace be with you, and may you never feel alone, because you never really are:

Psalm 118

New American Bible 1 I Give thanks to the LORD, who is good, whose love endures forever.

2 Let the house of Israel say: God's love endures forever.

3 Let the house of Aaron say, God's love endures forever.

4 Let those who fear the LORD say, God's love endures forever.

5 II In danger I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me free.

6 The LORD is with me; I am not afraid; what can mortals do against me?

7 The LORD is with me as my helper; I shall look in triumph on my foes.

8 Better to take refuge in the LORD than to put one's trust in mortals.

9 Better to take refuge in the LORD than to put one's trust in princes.

10 III All the nations surrounded me; in the LORD'S name I crushed them.

11 They surrounded me on every side; in the LORD'S name I crushed them.

12 They surrounded me like bees; they blazed like fire among thorns; in the LORD'S name I crushed them.

13 I was hard pressed and falling, but the LORD came to my help.

14 The LORD, my strength and might, came to me as savior.

15 IV The joyful shout of deliverance is heard in the tents of the victors: The LORD'S right hand strikes with power;

16 the LORD'S right hand is raised; the LORD'S right hand strikes with power.

17 I shall not die but live and declare the deeds of the LORD.

18 The LORD chastised me harshly, but did not hand me over to death.

19 V Open the gates of victory; I will enter and thank the LORD.

20 This is the LORD'S own gate, where the victors enter.

21 I thank you for you answered me; you have been my savior.

22 The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

23 By the LORD has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes.

24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice in it and be glad.

25 LORD, grant salvation! LORD, grant good fortune!

26 VI Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. We bless you from the LORD'S house.

27 The LORD is God and has given us light. Join in procession with leafy branches up to the horns of the altar.

28 VII You are my God, I give you thanks; my God, I offer you praise.

29 Give thanks to the LORD, who is good, whose love endures forever.  Cross-posted at my other blog: MJ Stevenson Blog

Republican "leadership" just doesn't get it

My friend Sammye has a recent blog post in response to the vicious attacks on Republican primary winners who were chosen by THE VOTERS and not the GOP establishment's selections. Sammye's message to the party bigs & supposedly conservative talking heads is essentially this: GET OVER IT, man up and support the candidates that we the people chose to run against the destructive CRAPTASTICs this year. If the Republican Party were truly serious about taking America back off the suicidal path it's on, they would not be disparaging Republican voters by attacking the people who WE CHOSE to represent us in the General Election!

Here's a little of what Sammy had to say about THAT:

What you are doing is jeopardizing our country's survival. You, in your pettiness and greed for power are setting up the TRUE Conservative's failure in November to regain control of a government that is OUT of control. You are TOTALLY ignoring the will of the people. If we wanted THAT, we wouldn't have even voted, we have THAT NOW. Miller and O'Donnell WON in their primaries. Fair and square, something that is perhaps a NEW concept in Washington and apparently to the three of you. The American thing to do...the MATURE and Conservative thing to do...is to accept the will of the people, RESPECT IT...and give your support to those WE THE PEOPLE have chosen...and HELP them..HELP US to take back OUR country. To end this march towards socialism...worse yet, to COMMUNISM.

I completely agree. BOTH parties miss the point entirely about why so many regular everyday Americans are upset & speaking out. BOTH parties have been ignoring the people they are supposed to represent and contrary to the vilification being done by the media, these are not far right fringe loonies speaking out, they are largely just average hard-working Americans who are genuinely and justifiably concerned for our country's future. The Republican party is as much a part of the problem as the Democrats, that's why there is a bottom to top remaking going on, and it's being done by the voters and not the power hungry establishment. While it is not largely reported, there are Democratic voters who are also voting in new faces for their party as well. Career politicians either don't "get it" or are simply so comfortable with the status quo that they completely misread the mandate from the people.

The same thing National Republicans are guilty of is also being done by them at the state level here in New York State, where the Republican Party backed an unelectable loser and tried to deny voters their right to choose for themselves in a primary who would run against CRAPTASTIC legacy Andrew Cuomo. Carl Paladino petitioned his way onto the ballot and the people of New York overwhelmingly supported him. The Party's response to the mandate that the people sent them? A big assed hissy fit. 

The NY Republican party would rather hand victory to another destructive Democrat than do their JOB and show support for who the Registered Republican voters of NY want to represent them. And it's not just in the gubernatorial race either, they've done it time and again from the top to the bottom for as long as I can remember. New Yorkers are often forced to pick the lesser of two evils on election day, and due to the epic fuckery of the "Republican" Party and their predilection for pushing unelectable unlikeable weak and timid candidates, we are often forced to hold our noses and vote for the DEMOCRAT candidate even though we know how poorly they have run our state.

Republicans (and in the case of NY, this goes for the "Conservative" party as well) need to stop trying to be like the Democrats, we already HAVE those, the Republican party needs to go back to embracing conservative values. We won't vote for Republicans who are running on the platform that they are like the Democrats, we want to vote for the people who will fight to stop the progressives intent to drag us into totalitarian hell! 

Stop trying to appeal to people who are going to hate you anyway (duh) and remember that the majority of voters are relatively conservative, right of center, freedom loving Patriots! You need to answer to US, not THEM, your JOB is to stand up with us against them! Get it together or you're going down just as surely as the Democrats are. Stop pissing off the electorate or you WILL be made to regret it!

New Name but the Song Remains the Same

I changed the name of my blog after learning that there is an aggregate site called Politizilla that was in use before my blog came to be. I don't want to run into issues down the road over the blog name, so the new name here is "Zilla of the Resistance". Same blog, same URL, new name. I go just by the name "Zilla" at the ANTI-C.R.A.P.T.A.S.T.I.C. page & a bunch of other places nowadays anyway.

New York Primary results! PALADINO WINS!!!

The CRAPTASTIC New York Republican Party and libtarded press tried their damnedest to block any and all coverage of Carl Paladino's campaign against Rick Lazio to run on the GOP line against Andy (Son of Mario) Cuomo for the 2010 Gubernatorial election, but the people would not be denied!

Even with widespread problems due to malfunctioning voting machines and incompetent poll workers, Paladino enjoyed a landslide victory.

2010 New York Republican Primary Results - The Aftermath

NY Primary Voting DISASTER!

The new machines are a freaking nightmare and I highly doubt my vote will even count!

I was the first voter to show up at my polling place. Voting was supposed to begin exactly at 12:00 PM.  The machine wasn't ready at noon, when voting was supposed to begin. At around 12:10, the lady finally started looking for my name in the book & couldn't find it. This happened to me in the 2004 election, despite my having voted in every election and primary here since 1996, so I spoke up. They made me fill out a damned absentee ballot that year and I'm still pissed off about it since, you know, they don't count those until after the election & they are meaningless unless the outcome is in dispute. Another poll worker came after a few minutes and found my name, it was in a different book.

People who got into line behind me left without voting. Then they had trouble finding the right ballot to give me. Eventually I got my ballot and filled in the dots. The machine still wasn't working, they said the monitor was inoperative. They took my ballot anyway and said it would be entered as an "emergency ballot", whatever that means.

The first time the young man put it into the machine, it got spit back out & he said there was an error message. Not that I could see, because I wasn't allowed anywhere near the freaking machine. Then a woman who had been on the phone trying to find out how to fix the machine came over and had him insert it a different way and it went in. It was after 12:30 pm by the time my vote, the first of the day there, had been cast. I have no idea if it will even count.

Before I left, one of the poll workers disclosed to me that they had only been allowed to even start setting up the room at 11:30, a half an hour before go time, and as I said, they weren't ready at 12:00 PM when the polls are supposed to start accepting votes. 40 minutes of my life wasted and my vote most likely disenfranchised, again.

I think it's deliberate. According to The NY Post and my local paper, the Poughkeepsie Journal, what happened at my polling place was definitely NOT an isolated incident, it has been all fucked up STATE-WIDE.


They better get their shit together before November, or there's gonna be all kinds of hell raised, some of it certainly will be raised by yours truly.

The New York Primary; September 14, 2010

This is it, my fellow New Yorkers, your last best chance to get decent candidates to run in the general election on November 2. Voter turnout is particularly poor for primary elections, that is why it is crucial that YOU get to the polls tomorrow; our votes will carry more weight than usual because there will be so much fewer overall votes than in general elections. The best way to get rid of the CRAPTASTIC's stranglehold on New York is to choose strong candidates tomorrow to oppose them in November. 

New York voters will no longer be able to use the RELIABLE curtained pull lever voting booths that we've used for 80 years. This year we are forced to use hard to read ballots (they'll offer magnifying glasses) with a huge potential to make mistakes on which would invalidate your vote. TAKE YOUR TIME filling out the ballot and use great care lest you become disenfranchised by the CRAPTASTIC new system that seems designed to maintain the status quo of liberal rule here. Your vote DOES count (now more than ever), but first it has to be COUNTED! You can read more about it HERE. 

Fred Seigel writes, correctly, in the New York Post,  about how our State is the poster child for all that the rest of the country is rebelling against while New Yorkers have taken it as a given that this is simply the way it is, has been and will continue to be:

 

New York has become what America fears. Crushed by costs imposed from Albany, the state suffers from the highest taxes, the largest budget, the greatest debt and the slowest rate of job creation in the country. The polls show America will fight back against Washington in November. But New York state is by now so thoroughly swayed by Gotham — a city characterized by Latin American levels of inequality and a Soviet level of political participation — that there is little talk of revolt here. Unlike America, New Yorkers have meekly accepted their fate.

This is because the Obama/Pelosi policies of vast, Keynesian public spending is old hat here. New York has been pushing Keynesianism, or what Mario Cuomo called the “New York Idea,” for a half-century of relative decline. For many decades the decline of private industry upstate has been accelerated by the growth of public-sector jobs in health and education, which then have to be paid for with ever higher taxes on manufacturing and agriculture.
You might think that New York’s tubercular condition — stabilized for the moment by the slow morphine drip of the Federal Reserve’s cut-rate money — would be the ideal setting for the sort of political unrest that’s stirring in much of the country. After all, New York has had more than its share of scandals. One governor and very nearly two, the state comptroller, the Senate president and literally dozens of members of the Legislature have either been forced to resign or hauled off in cuffs. Yet instead the likes of Charlie “Taxes are for the little guy” Rangel and Pedro “Your man in Mamaroneck” Espada, who represents not so much The Bronx as the employees of his government-funded health-care vote machine, are likely to win their Democratic primaries this Tuesday, and then go on to re-election despite their glaring malfeasances. These are two of our finest shakedown artists — no disrespect meant for Rev. Al, who thanks to his friendship with Mayor Bloomberg and President Obama seems to have “earned” an exemption from the tax laws.

New York's State Legislature is COMPLETELY controlled by Democrats, and they have majority control of the State Assembly. We are on our second (failed) Democratic Governor in less than four years and it's widely predicted that we're well on our way to yet another one, and worse, another Cuomo. 

Our two US Senators, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, are Democrats who are in full lockstep with the Obama agenda regardless of how damaging it is to the State of New York and the people who live and try to work here. Nearly ALL of New York's Congressional Representatives are Democrats as well and again, avid supporters of Obama's destructive agenda with no regard as to how it will hurt New Yorkers. 

It doesn't have to be this way.

None of the above mentioned liberal politicians are running unopposed. Tomorrow you have a chance to select the best people to run against them, since the Dem primaries are unlikely to unseat any incumbents it is up to registered Republican voters to put people in place who will allow New Yorkers to enthusiastically throw the bums out.

HERE is where you can find a list of all the offices up for grabs this year, and all the candidates who face a primary tomorrow, complete with links to more information about each of them. Educate yourself tonight, so you can make informed decisions at the polls tomorrow. 

Here are my choices for Statewide offices in tomorrow's Republican Primary:

Governor: Carl Paladino

US Senate: GaryBernsten (vs Chuck Schumer) David Malpass (vs. Kirsten Gillibrand)

Attorney General:  Dan Donovan, but I will also research Carl E. Person who says he has a plan to get Obama out of office THIS YEAR - that alone is worth a second look! 

Now let's all go and do our homework, if we haven't already and make sure we make our choices wisely and fill out the new ballots carefully tomorrow. 

Godspeed. 

New York - A Vote For Lazio is a Vote for Cuomo

The New York State Republican primary is this Tuesday, September 14. Andrew Cuomo is seen as the presumed winner of the general election in November, but if you choose smartly in the primary, it doesn't have to be this way. I will not, under any circumstances, vote for Rick Lazio, who the New York Republican party idiotically selected as their candidate in an attempt to deny voters the right to choose for themselves via primary.
Carl Paladino is the better choice, thankfully, he was able to petition his way onto the ballot to force a primary election. If Mr. Paladino does not win the primary, I urge you to vote for him anyway with a third party, because Lazio can't win against Cuomo, so you'll just be helping put Andrew Cuomo (who supports the ground Zero mosque and refuses to investigate the funding that the two tax evading slumlords behind the mosque will use).
I wrote and article about it, you can read it here at Associated Content.

Say HELL NO to the Ground Zero Victory Mosque and say HELL NO to another Cuomo!

Marginalized by Party & Media but Deserving of Recognition and Respect

Gail Goode is  liberal Democrat who is running against New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in the New York State Democratic primary on September 14. While I disagree with her stand on pretty much all the issues that are important to me, she has earned my respect. As a registered Republican, I can't vote in the Dem primary and I have already chosen who I'll be voting for in the GOP primary here (also on September 14), that person is David Malpass, but I am disgusted by the way the Dem machine and the mainstream media has marginalized and ignored Ms. Goode. I don't like it when anyone gets treated like crap, even if it somebody I have ideological differences with. The media and the Democratic party would have New Yorkers think that Gillibrand is running unopposed, and they actively worked overtime to make that a reality by muscling out all prior competition that would have challenged Gillibrand in this year's primary.

In order to even get on the ballot for the upcoming Dem primary, Ms. Goode needed to get signatures to a petition; she collected over 45,000 signatures - three times the amount needed. Gail Goode spent her life's savings to get on the ballot as well.

Unlike Senator Gillibrand who is a serial flip-flopper who changes her position on important issues based on political expediency alone and NOT in the interest of New Yorkers at all, Gail Goode remains steadfast on issues she believes in. As I stated before, I do not agree with Ms. Goode's positions, but I respect her faithfulness to her beliefs. At least with Gail Goode, you know what you're getting, unlike Kirsten Gillibrand who has no scruples and will bend whichever way the political winds blow in order to obtain or retain a position of power.

Conservatives and liberals alike have plenty of reason not to trust Senator Gillibrand. She is loyal to nothing and nobody, you cannot count on her to stand for anything for very long because she falls for everything.

The "fourth estate" that is the press and the DNC are truly doing a disservice to liberal and Democrat voters in the State of New York by neglecting to inform them that they DO have a choice on September 14 and that there is somebody who would represent them honestly and faithfully on the issues that are important to them.

Gail Goode may not have my vote, but she has my respect. Good luck, Ms. Goode, I hope to see you debate my candidate of choice in the days leading up to November 2.
