My 33 Cents

It's up and running. Don't look for any more MC Confrontation posts here as I'll be working over at the new site: My 33 Cents.

Thank you to all who supported this venture. It's time to just be funny now.

Six Months

I didn't want to hit the six month mark without pushing up some freshness, but the fact is I'm no longer fresh, nor is this space. I think that Santa Barbara has made progress in the battle against the progressives, especially with the election of Dale Francisco to the City Council. With his lone dissenting vote against the restructuring of fees associated with housing development and his outside the box ideas on local transportation issues he's already shown that we do have a voice inside and outside the spectrum of local government. I'm not ready to go MISSION ACCOMPLISHED yet, but I've obviously lost the fire I once had in battling the local lefty loons. I retired from posting on George's blog because I think I made him cry a couple of times, and I don't really want to hurt anyone's feelings. I made several appearances on a liberal blog based out of San Fransicko called If I Ran the Zoo but debating with those people is like talking to a wall. I still check out Trekking Left and The Average Man over at their space. They're probably the most civil of the local consortium, and I will continue to monitor their progress. But as for The SBMR, well, consider this the death notice. I'm not quitting though. I aim to have something new up very soon, in a different vein. It will still be locally oriented, but also much more personal. Check back here for the Bat time and the Bat channel in the near future. Until then, party on Garth.

Slander and Libel and Whining Oh My!

When I first started up this machine it was because I was having my comments deleted by liberal bloggers I was enlightening. Apparently they don't like it when someone comes along and doesn't agree with their wacky views. Apparently they don't like it so much that it reduces them to whining little babies out on the internets. I've highlighted in this space how their arsenal of putdowns includes everything from grammar school runaround to R rated expletives. They resort to this when they have no other retort. But now it's gotten worse.

I've been branded a racist by a couple of bloggers who go by the names George and ahab. I'm certain that these allegations have only come because they have no other means of defeating any argument put forth by yours truly. What they can't wrap their tiny liberal brains around is the fact that ad hominem attacks do not advance their arguments, but that is beside the point. Nobody ever said that liberals were the brightest streetlights on the block, but even after pointing out the libelous nature of their attacks they continue on. In one of these arenas it has become increasingly more difficult to defend myself due to the czarist rule of one Tom Hilton (pictured above enjoying the environment before it kills us all). In a thread which began by discussing the threat of global warming versus the threat of global terrorism, over 50 comments ensued and finally M.C. Confrontation was silenced by Mr. Hilton with the caveat that I play nice in his sandbox or I would find myself banned. How very Stalinist of you Mr. Hilton! Whatever happened to the Kennedy Democrats? I thought that the liberals preached tolerance, but not this group, no. This is certainly not your Father's Democratic Party.

Alas you would think I would give it up and just quit altogether, like I did at George's blog, but then there's this: now they're posing as me and leaving comments on this blog suggesting I possess pornographic pictures of Condoleeza Rice having sex with a goat. Only a seriously perverted person could devise that image in their mind, and I'm going to guess it's either ahab or Happenstance, but how does a situation like this culminate in the spamming of another guy's website? I never spammed, I only argued my points and responded to ad hominem attacks aimed at me.

Maybe Happenstance belongs in an institution. Maybe ahab is only nine years old. Maybe George has an Anita Hill complex. I don't know these wackos, but they make JQB look like an eccentric genius! I only know how they conduct themselves on the internets, and lately it ain't been pretty.


In this my first post of the new year, here's to hoping that 2008 brings a little maturity to everyone, including me. My resolution is to not be calling any of my detractors a fat whore like I did a couple of times in 2007.

Happy New Year to all, and to all a

Goodnight Now!
