The P.O.P. Factor

"Just the facts, ma'am." More often than not, politically correct bullshit won't be found here. Pardon me while I exercise my 1st amendment right! I welcome all to my little world of bitches, moans, gripes and complaints, and sometimes, the downright freakin' odd. Take a seat and join me. I love a good story.

Are You Ready for Some Stupid?


A 59 year old Moncks Corner, SC man made a series of stupid mistakes on Sunday, September 11 and it just might be a day he'll never forget.
Leroy McKelvey

First, he takes a trip up north to Jersey to attend a NY Jets - Dallas Cowboys game.....wearing a Cowboys jersey in Jets territory. Not the smartest thing to do, but you probably won't get your ass kicked too badly.

Second, he brings a stun gun to Jersey. While not illegal to own or possess in his home state, he should have done his homework.  It's illegal as hell in New York and New Jersey. Not to mention the fact that he's wearing it concealed upon his person.  He actually gets past a security checkpoint of a major league football game carrying the thing. It is, after all, Sept. 11, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks and security is supposed to be tightened due to "credible threats."  Big "Ooops!" there.

Third mistake -  "Please Stand for the National Anthem" means just what it says.  If you physically can't stand, that's one thing, but to refuse to take your hat off or shut the fuck up, that's a whole other ball game.
Because it was Sept. 11, additional remembrance ceremonies were taking place at the stadium that dictated some quiet dignity and respect be afforded.  You know the concept....kind of like church or a courtroom.  Shut the hell up and behave yourself! McKelvey and his wife/fiancee/girlfriend, whatever...just kept chatting through all the ceremonies, and this seemed to anger a few people around them.  Very disrespectful, if you ask me.

Fourth Mistake -  Pissin' off the Marines. Seems some of the other patrons near Mr. McKelvey were Marines and they were clearly annoyed by his unpatriotic displays and lack of manners. While a good Marine always shows his loyalty and patriotism appropriately, word has it that one Marine may have pushed the envelope a tad too far, acting a bit Un-Marine-like in his taunting of McKelvey. McKelvey, and another unidentified witness, claim that the Marine refused to move to let McKelvey pass by for a trip to the Men's room. Words were exchanged and then McKelvey decided to whip out the old stun gun and go to town. A free for all broke out. 2 people, including one Marine, were hit with the stun gun.

In today's world of advanced technology, several people took videos and photos , and well....you made the big league news, jackass! You are hereby crowned, "Extremely Fuckin' Stupid."

McKelvey is arrested and charged with 3 counts of assault and 2 weapons charges.  His bail was set at $22,500.  No one else got arrested.  Imagine that.

Now, McKelvey has people speaking on his behalf and they're making excuses for him.  His girlfriend/fiancee/ or whatever word they use these days to say they're living together, was quoted in one news source as trying to excuse their actions because they both have medical conditions that prohibit them from standing. She blabbered on about how awful it was, and she was hurt in the melee....blah, blah, whine, whine.

Turns out, McKelvey's son is one noted New York DJ called "Charlamagne, Tha God of the Breakfast Club." (Whatever the hell that means.) He told the Daily News in NY that not only was his Father acting in self defense, but he didn't stand for the National Anthem because he's a Jehovah's Witness. (I think they need to get their story straight.) I knew a JW once who wouldn't do the "pledge" but was respectful enough to stand in silence, not loudly gabbing through somber ceremonies. "Charlamagne" also states that his Father brought the stun gun because Jets Coach, Rex Ryan jokingly told him that he probably shouldn't wear Cowboys stuff in the Jets' house. Oh, come on!

How many people is McKelvey going to blame for his own stupidity? No wonder our children today are fat, dumb and "entitled." They get it from their fat, dumb and entitled parents. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, McKelvey and, had you been a bit more adult in your actions, this never would have happened. I suppose you're going to call the White House and scream racism and tell them your civil rights were violated?

I bet if a bunch of white folk went in to his church and started talking loudly and sitting through all of their ceremonies, there just might be some pissed off people. By not even closing his mouth, he managed to insult so many people on so many levels. His worthless ass deserves to go to jail.
I wonder if this man is going to turn in to some kind of cult hero with his peeps for being such a bad mannered barbarian? He blames the coach, the security, the fans....everyone but himself. He doesn't want the world to "make me out to be a criminal." No, the world didn't do it, Leroy. You did it all by yourself.

If you read the comments section of McKelvey's local area newspaper, you'll see he's not getting much sympathy at home either.

You wanna build what where?

"So, in the ruins of a building reduced to rubble in the name of Islam, a temple of Islam will arise."
     -Mark Steyn-

First it was putting th 9/11 terrorist suspects on trial in a criminal court in NYC, now its erect a Mosque at Ground Zero.  What audacity!  How crass can you be?  It's sickening.  I can see it now, the liberal left will be kow-towing and pandering to the Islamists, showing how open and accepting we are of  all religions.  Whereas, the conservative right are up in arms, vocalizing how it's putting NYC right back in the bullseye.  And in a manner of speaking, it is. 


The recent episode in Times Square is proof that Radical Islam will not go away by itself and that it still wants a piece of NYC.  Islam should find another place to build their precious little "Healing Center."  It seems that local government and board members signed off on it, giving approval to erecting a "Healing Center" adjacent to the towers where the old Burlington Coat Factory once stood.  Several weeks passed without anyone noticing and now, families of victims and many others are speaking out.  That's because it really wasn't all that public.  The people that are bound and determined to build it, kept it quiet.  This mysterious group of investors have made it quite clear, too.  THEY WILL BUILD IT!  Where exactly are the funds coming from to finance this?  No one really knows for sure.    


There is one thing that is not well known, every Friday afternoon an Imam leads prayers right where Osama Bin Laden sent his treacherous followers to stab America in the heart, killing thousands of innocent people all in the name if his twisted religious beliefs.


We have become a sorry ass nation if we let this happen.  
Mayor Bloomberg needs to come out of his hole, put his foot down and say they are welcome in his city, [I doubt they'll be accepted with open arms in too many other cities] but they're just not welcome at ground zero.
Not that I am a religious person, but when people desecrate the hallowed grounds of a place of great suffering and death, that place should be given over as a place to everyone without insulting anyone.  It should be a place of great peace and contemplation.  


Mayor Bloomberg came to his senses on the trial of the 9/11 terrorists, does anyone think he'll look beyond his bunker and see the "real" world?

The 9/11 Trials



The US Attorney General, in all of his infinite wisdom, has decided that five Gitmo "detainees" are going on trial for their part in the 9/11 attacks.  These defendants will be brought to NYC where they will be tried in a civilian court, and afforded all the same constitutional rights as any other accused individual.  In other words, we're going to give them the benefit of a public trial by jury and a presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Yep, their sorry asses are being transported back to the very city they are accused of decimating.
Can you just imagine finding an unbiased juror in NYC - of all places?  
This is the answer to the present administration's campaign promise to shut down Gitmo? 






This decision has drawn the ire of family members affected by the tragedy, politicians, and law enforcement.  The Police Commissioner says the city can efficiently deal with the security of this high profile trial. Of course he'd say that.  He works for a Democrat.  Former Mayor Giuliani states it's a slap in the face to the victims and an expensive endeavor.  The majority of Republicans would not only rather have a military tribunal, but in concurring with Giuliani's assessment, it should be held in a less populated area at a lower cost to the taxpayers.
















On November 23, 2001, Pres. Bush signed an executive order that outlines the detention, treatment and subsequent trial of those individuals suspected of carrying out acts of terrorism.  
A military tribunal is specifically designed to try enemy forces during wartime.  Effectively, the charges would have to be brought by a military authority and the defendants would be prosecuted and sentenced by the military.  The Secretary of Defense would then assess and decide on the location, acting in the best interest of national security.  
In theory, that was a sound order as it would perhaps deter further potential war crimes because technically, we're at war with terrorists.


But the Democrats want to go all moralistic on this matter, perhaps under the misguided belief that we will garner respect from other nations when in fact, we will just be the laughing stock.  All this political posturing is just giving the terrorists what they want, and its putting NYC right back in to the bulls eye.

These terrorist themselves have, in so many words, confessed to their jihadist intentions and are prepared to die all in the name of their fucked up religion.  I say that we have wasted enough time and money on these low life towel heads.  They should NOT be afforded the rights of our Constitution that they are so intent on destroying. 

In this case, the 8th amendment prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment shouldn't apply to these bastards.  Merely executing them is not enough.




















May you rot in hell.
