COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Goodbye Mike Huckabee

Remember Mike Huckabee going after Mitt Romney on the law and order issues? Is the Washington cop massacre another result of a Huckabee pardon?

Speculation on political futures you say?

Huckabee is a bit of a prognosticator himself. Here is a recent quote and prediction from Mike Huckabee, while on a trip to Orlando, Florida ten days ago:

"Well, I think it's absurd, and I think the Obama administration will be as much on trail as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed," said Huckabee.

He says the terror suspects will use their trials as a platform to spout anti-American venom.

"And God help us if they get off on a technicality because of the way the evidence was gathered," said Huckabee. "I would tell you not only is the Obama administration finished, I think the Democratic Party is finished."






Man linked to Washington shootings had long sentence commuted

Police name Maurice Clemmons as 'person of interest' who had sentence commuted by Republican Mike Huckabee

A man wanted in connection with the gunning down of four US police officers in a cafe yesterday had a long prison sentence commuted by the former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, it was revealed today .

The officers – three men and a woman, all from the local police force in Lakewood, Washington state – were preparing paperwork for their morning duties and working on laptops at the Forza cafe when they were shot dead by a lone gunman.

Police named Maurice Clemmons, 37, as "a person of interest", although not yet a suspect, in their inquiry. Clemmons has an extensive criminal record and was recently charged for third-degree assault on a police officer, and second-degree rape of a child.

In 1989, Clemmons, then 17, was convicted for aggravated robbery. He was paroled in 2000 after Huckabee, then the governor of Arkansas, and now a Fox News presenter, commuted Clemmons's 95-year prison sentence.

Huckabee, who was criticised during his run for the presidential nomination in 2008 for the number of clemencies he granted, cited Clemmons's age at the time of the sentence.

After his release, Clemmons broke his parole and was returned to prison in July 2001. He was released on 18 March 2004, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper.

The four dead officers have been named as Mark Renninger, 39; Ronald Owens, 37; Tina Griswold, 40; and Greg Richards, 42.

The police spokesman Ed Troyer said one of the officers fought with the gunman and may have wounded him before the officer died just outside the door.

He said investigators were asking medics in the area to report any people wounded by gunshots. "We believe there was a struggle, a commotion, a fight ... that he fought the guy all the way out the door. We hope that he hit him," Troyer said.

"It's carnage out front everywhere," Troyer said, describing the front of the cafe. "It's like a bad horror movie. It's horrible." The officers were all in uniform, including bulletproof vests, he said.

The attack was clearly targeted at the officers; not a robbery that went wrong, he said.

"This was more of an execution. Walk in with the specific mindset to shoot police officers."

Around 200 police descended on the area, searching for their colleagues' killer. A helicopter and dog teams were used to scour houses, parking areas and open spaces, but no one was found.

"I have never seen this many scramble to a particular spot, ever," said David Gabrielson, 27, a worker at a petrol station near the cafe.

Investigators were baffled by the killings and the absence of a motive. There were no indications that any of the officers had received previous threats.

Police will be seeking to rule out any link between the murders and the death of police officer Timothy Brenton in Seattle last month. Brenton was shot as he was sitting in a police vehicle on the night of Halloween.

"We won't know if it's a copycat effect or what it was until we get the case solved," Troyer said.

Police questioned two cafe staff and a few customers who were in the shop at the time of the shootings. Though none of them were physically hurt they were described as stunned.

"As you can imagine, they are traumatised, they are in shock," said Troyer.

The Forza cafe is owned by a former police officer, Brad Carpenter. "I'm a retired police officer, so this really hits close to home for me," he said.

A $10,000 (£6,000) reward has been offered for information about the killings.

    I hope so. Nothing like a trail of blood to lead cops right to him in the veterinarian's office where he flees like the dog he is. And when they catch him, suicide by cop might be in order.

  9. The first two officers could have been down in seconds, not even realizing there was a threat.

    By then the other two police would be moving, making the third a harder target, the fourth engaging with him as they went out the door.

    But still the entire incident could have been done in 10 - 15 seconds.

    No more than 30, most likely.

  17. In 1989, Clemmons, then 17, was convicted in Little Rock for aggravated robbery. He was paroled in 2000 after Huckabee commuted a 95-year prison sentence. Huckabee, who was criticized during his run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 for granting many clemencies and commutations, cited Clemmons' youth. Clemmons later violated his parole, was returned to prison and released in 2004.

    Discussion is well nigh impossible when folks change horses mid-stream, as it were.

    When Eisenhower once fired an officer, it was not for calling his fellow a SOB; no, he was fired for calling the other guy a "British" SOB.

    Huckabee may be an idiot for all I know, but this parole had nothing to do with his alleged Bible thumping. So, call him an idiot or an "asshole", but dispense with the religious bigotry by subterfuge. Neither the Bible nor Judeo-Christian thought were responsible for the miscarriage. Indeed, had the Bible been followed verbatim, the cretin would have been dead long ago or still permanently locked behind bars.

    I think the Huckster is sincere enough, least from appearances, his sense of Christian compassion having gotten in his way.

    His policies back in Arkansas seemingly too lenient.

    By the way, 95 years seems a stretch for aggravated robbery. Violated his parole, was sent back, must have been the parole board then let him back out.

  49. PRESUMABLY PRECISE

    These presumably precise data are the backbone of climate science.

    Reading "HARRY_READ_ME.txt" it's clear the CRU's files were a mess. The programmer laments huge gaps in data, bug-filled programs and worries about all the guesswork he's doing. His comments suggest the problems go back years.

    The CRU at East Anglia University is considered by many as the world's leading climate research agency. Here's how CBSNews.com's Declan McCullagh describes its enormous impact on policymakers:

    "In global warming circles, the CRU wields outsize influence: It claims the world's largest temperature data set, and its work and mathematical models were incorporated into the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2007 report. The report ... is what the Environmental Protection Agency acknowledged it 'relies on most heavily' when concluding carbon dioxide emissions endanger public health and should be regulated."

    As you read the programmer's comments below, remember, this is only a fraction of what he says.

    - "But what are all those monthly files? DON'T KNOW, UNDOCUMENTED. Wherever I look, there are data files, no info about what they are other than their names. And that's useless ..." (Page 17)

    - "It's botch after botch after botch." (18)

    - "The biggest immediate problem was the loss of an hour's edits to the program, when the network died ... no explanation from anyone, I hope it's not a return to last year's troubles ... This surely is the worst project I've ever attempted. Eeeek." (31)

    - "Oh, GOD, if I could start this project again and actually argue the case for junking the inherited program suite." (37)

    - "... this should all have been rewritten from scratch a year ago!" (45)

    - "Am I the first person to attempt to get the CRU databases in working order?!!" (47)

    - "As far as I can see, this renders the (weather) station counts totally meaningless." (57)

    - "COBAR AIRPORT AWS (data from an Australian weather station) cannot start in 1962, it didn't open until 1993!" (71)

    - "What the hell is supposed to happen here? Oh yeah -- there is no 'supposed,' I can make it up. So I have : - )" (98)

    - "You can't imagine what this has cost me -- to actually allow the operator to assign false WMO (World Meteorological Organization) codes!! But what else is there in such situations? Especially when dealing with a 'Master' database of dubious provenance ..." (98)

    - "So with a somewhat cynical shrug, I added the nuclear option -- to match every WMO possible, and turn the rest into new stations ... In other words what CRU usually do. It will allow bad databases to pass unnoticed, and good databases to become bad ..." (98-9)

    - "OH F--- THIS. It's Sunday evening, I've worked all weekend, and just when I thought it was done, I'm hitting yet another problem that's based on the hopeless state of our databases." (241).

    - "This whole project is SUCH A MESS ..." (266)


    And based on stuff like this, politicians are going to blow up our economy and lower our standard of living to "fix" the climate?

  53. In our last Presidential campaign, one of our dumbest ever, complete with styrofoam pillars and such, The One compared his very self, not to Moses, who evidently he thought beneath him, but to Joshua.

    "Barack Obama also placed himself in the Mosaic tradition, though he claimed the role of Moses' successor. 'We are in the presence of a lot of Moses's,' he said in Selma, Alabama (where els, bob) in 2007. 'I thank the Moses generation; but we've got to remember that Joshua still had a job to do. As great as Moses was....he didn't cross over the river to see the Promised Land' He concluded 'Today we're called to be the Joshuas of our time, to be the generation that finds our way across this river.' "

    Obama's use of the Exodus story became so prominent that his rival, John McCain, issued a video in which he mocked Obama for anointing himself 'The One'......but the echoes of the Exodus only continued....

Young was also dubbed the "Lion of the Lord" for his bold personality, and was commonly called "Brother Brigham" by Latter-day Saints.

  80. Over 120 men, women and children were killed by the Mormons and their Native American allies. It is clear that local Mormons were the principal perpetrators. United States Army officer James Henry Carleton was sent to investigate the massacre and was convinced that the Mormons were the perpetrators. Only children survived, the murdered members of the wagon train (known as the Fancher Party) were left unburied, and the surviving children were cared for by local Mormon families. The remains of about forty people were found and buried and Carleton had a large cross made from local trees, the transverse beam bearing the engraving, "Vengeance Is Mine, Saith The Lord: I Will Repay" and erected a cairn of rocks at the site. A large slab of granite was put up on which he had the following words engraved:
    "HERE 120 MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN WERE MASSACRED IN COLD BLOOD EARLY IN SEPTEMBER, 1857. THEY WERE FROM ARKANSAS."

    ......I also think there is a 50/50 possibility that Maurice Clemmons was somehow encouraged by Islamic radicals to murder the four police officers. How did he get the $15,000 bail money? This is a highly unusual incident. To be blunt, statistically it is off the charts. I am not infallible, but my gut instincts tell me that Clemmons was partially motivated by Muslim extremism. Sigh, everyone has the right to make fun of me if my suspicions prove unfounded.


    Where did he get the 15k? Good question.

  86. I gotta hand it to Tiger, he's acting a true gentleman. His wife beats the crap out of him with a five iron, and he's protecting her from the coppers, who have at this point no business trying to stick their damned noses in the golf tournament. If I'm reading this right.

  87. (1031 pardons)

    Barry

    Here is a story about just “one” Huck’s pardons…

    “Glen Green, sentenced to prison for life after confessing to the savage rape and murder of a teenage girl (Helen Lynette Spencer). An Air Force sergeant, Green had bludgeoned the woman with nunchucks, violated her almost lifeless body, run over her with his car and dumped her in a bayou. A preacher friend of Huckabee’s convinced him that the girl’s murder had been an “accident” and that the convict had repented, come to Jesus and therefore should be freed.

    Huckabee seems to have known very little about the horrifying case beyond what his preacher pal (Rev. Johnny Jackson) told him. He didn’t bother to seek the opinions of the prosecutor or the victim’s family, and he ignored the dissent of his own parole board. But after the governor (Huckabee) announced that Green would be released, a furious public eventually forced him to reverse his decision. Still, he insisted on releasing a number of murderers and other violent criminals despite protests from prosecutors.”

    It may be bad of us, but we were saving up all this S* to unload on Huckabee in case he was the GOP runner in 2008. But now, it is time to go beyond that and tell the sad truth about Mike Huckabee’s insane Christian religious crusade to free the criminals.

    Mike Huckabee made his own far reaching legacy into the future.

    He might as well start paying for it right now.
