Well, it looks like Bob Goodlatte is at it again – first as a co-sponsor to SOPA, and now as a co-sponsor to CISPA. Don’t worry, he was paid handsomely for selling out our freedoms. Something to the tune of $134,069 to support it.

Bob has a primary challenger named Karen Kwiatkowski who opposed SOPA and opposes CISPA. Apparently the only language Goodlatte understands is money, and since getting him to vote against a bill that he’s a co-sponsor of would likely be futile, perhaps the best way to communicate with him would be by donating to his opponent.

The “War on Women” was exposed in all it’s ugliness this week by Hilary Rosen, a DNC consultant who has visited the White House numerous times. After she was done saying stay at home moms like Ann Romney have never worked a day in their lives, she was attacked, and rightly so, on Twitter by outraged moms everywhere. Then she was thrown under the bus by the Obama administration who had just seen their attack on traditional parenting roles blow up in their faces.

But Ann Romney isn’t the only target of this particularly vile attack on women – specifically Conservative women – mind you, there’s this small unpleasant business of the Wisconsin recall where the Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch is under particularly vile attack for standing up to the union thug-ocracy and helping deny their near extortion of public funds under the guise of “collective bargaining” (read “wealth redistribution under the threat of public service shutdowns”).

Now what could be particularly vile about a former news reporter who is a mom of two daughters, cancer survivor and a member of the NRA?

Let’s ask John “Sly” Sylvester, a radio host at WTDY in Madison, Wisconsin. For the entire bit of nastiness you can listen here.  Or watch it here.

However, for just the highlights (courtesy of Breitbart.com) you can read them right here.

“I’m Rebecca Kleefisch. I perform fellatio on all the talk show hosts in Milwaukee. … I got colon cancer and I ran around the state [garbled] people.”

“I had heard at one point that Rebecca Kleefisch pulled a train (having sex with several men one after another) but that must’ve been a different story I was reading about.”

“Let me tell you something about these Barbies the Republicans trot out the Rebecca Kleefisch’s…”

“I hope your husband is sleeping with your best friend.”

“I love it that your kids have actually have to hear about what evil things you’re doing. I hope they have to hear it every day. And I hope they come home right to you. And just because you’re good looking — and she is — and just ‘cuz you’re cutes and I’m sure you got a precocious little daughter you put in little Jon Benet contests, and I’m sure you have a little jock son, and they come home and say ‘Mommy, they’re saying you’re a witch.’ You are a witch!”

Well, isn’t that nice.

Let’s see, degrading sexual innuendos, sexist jokes, jokes about her looks, cancer jokes, jokes about her kids, jokes about her husband sleeping around. I don’t think we’ve missed anything here. Think she can expect a call from Obama anytime soon? Maybe Hilary Rosen? Michelle Obama? Nah.

Why not? Because she’s pretty, she’s successful – and worst of all – she’s *gasp* Conservative.

So while there might be a bunch of media attention on Ann Romney, let’s not forget she’s not the only target, nor the first target, in the War on (Conservative) Women – she was just the first one where Conservative women finally said “ENOUGH!” and fought back.

There are 3 things we know for sure about Tuesday’s Virginia Primary:

1. Only Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are on the ballot
2. Write-in’s don’t count
3. Someone WILL win Virginia’s 49 delegates

For Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum fans, that means being denied the chance to help their candidate win the GOP nomination, right?

Wrong.

Virginia’s 49 delegates represents a fairly sizable chunk (almost 5%) of the 1141 needed to win the GOP nomination outright on the first ballot. Gingrich and Santorum are at a serious disadvantage if Romney gets those delegates and they can’t do a darn thing about it. It would be a massive freebie for him. It could even be enough to seal the deal.

With Romney’s wins in Arizona and Michigan, and his interesting win in Washington (where hundreds of caucus goers were turned away from caucusing – not perhaps so different from Maine where entire counties weren’t counted and other vote counts were pre-recorded by the state GOP before they were even reported), Mitten’s certainly has the momentum.

Tea Partiers couldn’t be more appalled. The only thing that’s known for certain about the guy is that Romney Care was the model for Obama Care and that his position on anything is precisely whatever is most politically expedient for him at that moment. So, given that they’re staring at a potential Romney abyss while stuck on the sidelines, what’s a Gingrich or Santorum fan to do? Well, the unthinkable of course: Vote Ron Paul.

By helping Ron Paul capture Virginia, they are keeping the delegates out of Romney’s hands and giving their candidate more time to extend the nomination fight to states where they ARE on the ballot. There’s not particularly a great deal of risk. Most Gingrich and Santorum supporters don’t think that “Crazy Uncle Ron” can actually (gasp) win the nomination. So what does it hurt if they make sure that he gets the delegates their candidates can’t win and keep them out of the hands of the guy their candidates are chasing? Seems to be the only smart move given the circumstances, and certainly the only thing they can do to help their candidate at the moment. Staying home or putting in a blank ballot only helps Romney. Ironically, the only man that can help their candidate is the man they love to hate – Ron Paul.

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows. That indeed seems to be the case here in Virginia where many people have already decided that with their candidate of choice not on the ballot, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Tuesday will see the results, but for Gingrich and Santorum fans, no matter how much they hate Ron Paul, the only thing they can do to help their candidate is to vote for him.

After 10 largely unchallenged terms in congress Bob Goodlatte’s ability to compromise in DC without consequence back home must be the envy of every sly politician scheming to escape the annoying restraints of accountability a purifying election race might provide. But while an unattended house makes a bold thief, overconfidence often leads to carelessness and leaves tracks that clearly expose the guilty. Consider the trail Goodlatte has left while trying to hide his crimes by playing the part of an innocent and indignant bystander outraged by the injustice of what’s going on:

While in DC Goodlatte has voted to raise the debt ceiling at least seven times- approving the accumulation of an additional 6.5 TRILLION dollars to the national debt, back home he repeats sound-bytes about ‘reigning in out-of-control federal spending.’ And because he says it we’re supposed to believe he’s a fiscal conservative?

In DC Goodlatte supported and voted into law the largest expansion of socialized medicine since the 1960s- adding some 16 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities to our budget during a time of already historically record-breaking deficits. But back home he rails on the costs and evils of ObamaCare. And because he says it we’re supposed to believe he’s against socialized medicine?

In DC Goodlatte is part of the driving force behind a bill giving the federal government absolute control of the internet including Chinese-style censorship, blacklists, and fines if you get caught with ‘un-approved’ material on your Facebook page. But back home he pays lip-service to the first amendment right to freedom of speech. And because he says it we’re supposed to believe he is advocate for  the first amendment?

In DC Goodlate supported and voted in the largest unconstitutional, job-killing, business nightmare regulation bill since the New-Deal, while back home he  went about condemning unconstitutional and job-killing regulations. And because he says it we’re supposed to believe he’s against job-killing regulation?

In DC Goodlatte continues to vote to destroy the Bill of Rights, turning every American citizen into a terrorist suspect, greatly curbing our liberties and right to privacy. While back home he was heaping up hollow words about liberty and following the constitution. And because he says it we’re supposed to believe he wants to defend our liberties?

In DC Goodlatte voted for the largest expansion of the federal government in some 50 years- forming a new Nazi-BrownShirt style domestic surveillance agency of some 200,000 federal employees to maintain the police state the Patriot Act created. All the while back home he was touting small, constitutionally limited government rhetoric. And because he says it we’re supposed to believe he’s a small government conservative?

While following the Constitution would leave the control of education to the states (with conservatives historically advocating this position) – in DC Goodlatte blew off the Constitution to support and vote for the absurd “No Child Left Behind” program that cemented DC’s control over our schools, costing us billions of dollars, and destroying our education system. If you don’t believe it just ask a teacher. Meanwhile back home he brags about reading the constitution to congress. And because of this we’re supposed to believe he’s a constitutional conservative?

The only thing Goodlatte has proved to us with all his hypocritical rhetoric is that he assumes 6^th district conservatives are stupid enough to vote him in no matter what he does in DC, and that all he has to do to keep us duped is occasionally drop words like “constitution” or “cut spending” etc and we’ll all ooh and aah and rally behind him like gullible suckers following a con-man. And up until now he’s gotten away with it quite handily.

But.

No More!

Goodbye Goodlatte.

A large crowd saw last night’s theatrical production at the City Council Playhouse – By Mateus Jewel

Local players, “The Gang of Four,’ entertained us with the comic fantasy morality play entitled “Black is White. Or How a Warrant is not a Warrant.” Staged in three acts, the action stylized the conflict between the Mandarins and masses.

Act one presented the brave Metroligarchs struggle with the Riffraffi, or ‘unmoneyed’ types. Colorfully represented by a septuagenarian cult, also known by their generic name “the Gentrificati”. They scorned the Riffraffi for partying with tea and criminals. For their impertinence and lack of deference to the mandarin code…”See no Evil, Hear no evil, Speak no Evil.” It’s the foreigners, they said, with their outsider lawyers. They’re seducing our freed slaves and indentured peoples to talk back. Boss Payne had told them about these nefarious outsider judicial types. Not like our judges, he had said.

In Act Two, The people were unmuzzled, and behaved unusual un-mob like acts. Like bringing legal and ethical sources, scholarly argument, evidence, witnesses and stuff. This seemed to bore Prince Gillette a little, sometimes feigning mirth. The corrupt provocateurs and their foreign and legal apparatchiks railed, one after the other, against the Empire. The septuagenerians, also known as ‘the justified and  ancient’ had visions of a previous dynasty, of people termed ‘carpetbaggers’ , and someone called Jim Crow.

Members of the Imperial Guard appeared  in case the specter of real debate should begin. Fortunately, Empress Foster held out against the freethinkers and lawyers. Normally distracted youths spoke with wisdom, actually approaching the Imperial bench. The mass was falsely heartened by youth being on their side. What sort of spectacle did act three promise?

Act Three, or the fourth quarter in thespian circles, commenced with the people back in their muzzles. Now it was time for The Gang of Four’s arch-nemesis, Helgezilla, to breathe fire into the hearts of the Gentrificati. They were ashen-faced and cowed  by his fearsome intellectual symmetry. In his wake, handsome favorite son Farmer Perrow cleared the smoke with homegrown right and wrong. The usually mysterious, but avuncular ‘H’, made it clear it was 3-0 against the Empire and the fight was on!

Now the Gang of Four had to mouth words in public…a most uncomfortable experience for them. They’d managed to stay mute for four months about the dreaded General Warrant. Brahmin Nelson said a lot, but most forgot it right away. No one ever seemed to remember what he said.

A dramatic turn! Some forty riffraffi , young and old, got up in silent protest and held signs that say ‘No’. Probably supplied by “paid political types.”

Once again, it was up to Prince Gillette to save the day!  We’re not afraid of signs, he said. “Black Is White’, he cried and the scrofulous crowd howled.

“Off with their heads “ cried Empress Foster.  Silently leashed beside her, she kept her poodle ‘Ceasor’ who got excited and barked a little at the riffraffi.  A cardboard cut-out of the Reverend of Brookneal stood next to her. It actually spoke but the crowd had never heard of the Rev. before and weren’t sure of his authenticity. Was the Payne Dynasty threatened?

Never fear, said she. Our Prince says warrants are no such thing, don’t you worry. Laws never actually mean what they say. Our Svengali, Rasputirwin says so, and he’s always right. Helgezilla roared once more. But right finally triumphed against wrong and all the people had to hand their house keys to the Zoning Police. Prince Gillette and a Zoning Police official were heard offstage saying  ‘It’s much more efficient.’ Long Live The Empire!

It must be said that the Empress remained fully clothed for the production.
