Just a quick note about slavery

When someone tells you that you can't do anything for yourself, and your only hope is to have your master give you everything you need, and that you can't be trusted to use what is yours.... that only your master can be trusted with your destiny, you are a slave. And that is what the liberals have been teaching you, and what you'll be getting with either candidate...

Worst Case

By the time this is up, Stupid Tuesday, er, ahh, umm, Super Tuesday, that
is, will be history, and we'll probably know that John McCain has locked up
the Republican nomination, and Hillary will have taken most of the popular
vote, while Barack Hussein Obama (hey... that's the man's name, okay?) gets
most of the delegates. Well, it's a pretty damn stupid process, and really,
the only thing positive to be said about it all is that so far, nobody has
gotten killed. Yet. Part of what makes it stupid and futile and pretty
frustrating (to me anyway) is people with hom I tend to agree on most issues
shouting that we need to vote our principles instead of playing games, but
then allowing some admirable principles to risk losing the country. I'm not
a conservative talk show host, but I am a thinker. And I know that if I
support or berate someone based on race gender or religion, I am part of the
problem. I also know that if I am faced with the reality of either voting
for someone I don't like or someone for someone I don't like sharing the
planet with, I better rethink my principles. I'll be honest. I'm a
conservative. I'd be pretty happy if Mike Huckabee wins. But the fact is,
lots of people aren't. He did too good too early, scared the liberals, and
they put out a hit on him. The press took the job and assassinated him. I
thought the same about Romney, but apparently Republicans aren't allowed to
be religious. Especially Mormon. So really, the only Republican who'll be
allowed to even run is McCain. And he is a huge moderate. He works both
sides of the aisle. And really, someone so far to the right as to get
unqualified support from Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck (both whom I respect
and agree with quite often) is not not not going to get elected. Not because
the people won't support him(given fair and full information), but because
the mainsteam drive by media will do anything to avoid giving that fair and
full information. The game is fixed, friends. They hated Bush going in the
first time. They went nuts when he went in again. If you think they are
going to sit still for a third absolute, uncompromising right wing
republican to go in, you are sadly mistaken. You really need to think beyond
the self-righteous chair and think about what is going to happen in
November. I really dislike each and every one of the clowns running for
president. If I had my choice, I'd be voting to dig Reagan out of the
ground, shoot some electricity into him, and put him back in office. But I'm
not going to get that. So I have to decide two things. Who, among the two
clowns I hate the least, has the best chance of beating the two clowns I
hate the most? Not my first choice, but I'd rather vote for someone who has
even one principle I believe in than someone who either shows no love or
respect for the flag, or someone who doesn't trust me write what I want on
the internet or to spend the money I earn. Principles are great and
important, but when your opponent is thinking two moves ahead, you'd better
be prepared to do the same. The other side is thinking not only about
winning the primary, but about winning the general election. And if you
don't start to think like that, you'll lose. Vote for who you like the most
in the primary, but take a shot of reality when it comes to the general
election. Because at that point its put up or shut up. That's when
compromise becomes something you need to think about.

Really, one of the things that has really poisoned politics in this country,
amongst republocrats, talk show hosts, and even thinkers, is a 'my party
right or wrong' way of thinking. Sort of like the "Are you still beating
your wife?" gag of old. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Logic or reason has no place because it might show another point of view.
Conservative talk show hosts like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are doing
things like that, refusing to consider working with the other side while
continually evoking the Reagan name. But Reagan didn't care about party. He
cared about his ideas. And he worked with whoever agreed, and sometimes even
compromised for the greater good.

To Quote a Great Democrat

Well, really, not. Kennedy spent most of his short presidency (which some
studies rather convincingly suggest was bought by Uncle Joe.... Kennedy. Not
Stalin) doped up on medication and propped up by gangster friends and a
friendly press. Not to liken the press to gangsters. Never. :) But Kennedy
did say something memorable. Something that pops up now and then when THEY
want to remind us of how great he was. Yeah, great. Vietnam. Bay of Pigs.
Marilyn Monroe 'suicide'. Great. But the man said "Ask NOT what your country
can do for you, but ask rather what you can do for your country." You'd
think that two people who owe their place in the spotlight to their last
name would have a bit more respect for one of the few noble concepts to come
out of one of most corrupt administrations ever inflicted on this country.
"Ask NOT what your country can do for you, but ask rather what you can do
for your country." Caroline Kennedy and Ted Kennedy have both endorsed
Barrack Hussein Obama, a man who bases his campaign on the color of his skin
(not the content of his character) and what your country can do for you. Not
that Billary is any better. Please, somebody, anybody, show me any evidence
that Oprah is backing Barrack Hussein Obama because of his (lack of)
experience and (lack of) fresh ideas and (lack of) independence from special
interests. Anybody? Anybody? Wow... so quiet. And there's usually so much
noise in here.

I work in a bookstore... liberals, sorry for the shock. Conservatives are
all supposed to be stupid, not people who read books. Heck, not even people,
really. But I do work in a bookstore, and I even read some of the books.
(Including Glenn Beck's "An Inconvenient Book"). And today I picked up
"Profiles in Courage", and I realized that neither Barrack Hussein Obama nor
Billary are showing any courage whatsoever. What the media... the
drive-by-media is showing for the first time that I can recall are two slave
classes of the liberal faith (women and blacks) fighting with each other.
Women are now racist, and blacks are now sexist. Just look into the National
Organization for Women's reaction to the Kennedy endorsement of Barrack
Hussein Obama.

And while Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight Republicans (The political
equivalent of "Andy Griffith's" Deputy Barney Fife) manages to continually
shoot itself in the foot, I say this. When you see your enemy making a
mistake, get out of his/her way.

Who am I talking about?

They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast sums on public education. They purged the church from public policy, promoted a new form of pagan spirituality, and inserted the authority of the state into every nook and cranny of daily life. They declared war on smoking, supported abortion, euthanasia, and gun control. They loathed the free market, provided generous pensions for the elderly, and maintained a strict racial quota system in their universities—where campus speech codes were all the rage. They led the world in organic farming and alternative medicine.

 

 

You tell me....

Religious Intolerance

Hey... since conservatives are supposed to be the intolerant ones, can someone please explain to me why a candidate for president of one nation under god isn't supposed to mention that Christmas is actually about Christ? Or why we don't care if the current excuse for Senate Majority leader is a Mormon? See, I don't care. I actually prefer that someone who wants to lead the country holds himself to a code of morals and ethics, as well as an acknowledgement of a power greater than him. I guess you only have to be tolerant if you are a conservative. Although according to Hillary, you can't be a Republican and a Christian at the same time. Or maybe not. I mean, she said it, so it doesn't actually have to be true, does it?

If you really, really like it....

I know there are some people who regularly read this. If you really really like it, I can send things daily..... otherwise, continue to drop in. Comments are welcome always....

The Declaration of Independence

(so you don't have to google it :)....)

 

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

 

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

 

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

 

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

 

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

 

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

 

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

 

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

 

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

 

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

 

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

 

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

 

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

 

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

 

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

 

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

 

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

 

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

 

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

 

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

 

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

 

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

 

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

 

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

 

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

 

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

 

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

 

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

 

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

 

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

 

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

 

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

WE THE PEOPLE

I've been reading lots of Ronald Reagan lately. It's a nice alternative to
the ugliness of the current campaign. Really really ugly. And I'm reminded
of what it was like when we had two political parties in this country.
Republicans didn't care about the poor, they would get us into war, and
hated minorities. Democrats taxed and spent until we had stagflation, were
soft on crime, didn't care about family values, and embarrassed the country
all over the world. The press was always the press. Congress fought tooth
and nail with the White House unless something serious came up, and we all
stood together as Americans.

We don't have that anymore, and I'm trying to figure out where its gone. I
know that the people haven't changed. I mean, the people in this country are
here because they want to be here. They're here because despite it's image
problems around the world (that I'll touch on later), there is still no more
popular place to come to. In America we have immigration problems while
other places have emigration problems. Have you ever heard Mexico complain
about the flood of illegal immigrants into their country? No, because they
don't have that problem. So where is the problem? The problem lies in a
bloated broken government that even Tip O'neal would be hard pressed to
defend. For six years, we had a Republican White House and a Republican
Congress, but all they managed to do was spend like a pack of rabid liberals
with a budget surplus. They had a rare chance to rewrite the country in a
conservative mold, but they squandered that opportunity in order to buy
themselves more power. But of course, their efforts cost them power and
respectibility. They wasted what we had given them. So when they lost,
Democrats chose to posture and argue, and put their own personal agendas
over the good of the country. They ignored the wishes of the American
people.(not just registered Democrats) and threw away every conviction for
no other reason than a petty squabble with the White House. And surprise,
not only do they collectively have the lowest approval ratings in history,
but they haven't achieved anything.

Now we have many senior democrats (and one or two juniors) running for
president, but spouting more of the same tired rhetoric that has made it so
difficult for them to justify their salaries before. What is their solution?
More of the same. All I can say to them is this: "We've seen what your ideas
bring. We can't take it anymore." If you really want to read some
interesting words by a prominent (and pretty popular by the way) democrat,
google this quote: "No country has ever taxed itself into prosperity." So
what do the Republicans promise? Lots of things, but we've heard promises.
Show me how you'll change anything.

Even the president has things to answer for. I'm not talking about Iraq. I
think we should be there, and I know we're doing some good. Even if I
didn't, I believe that Bush believes it. And I support people I trust and
respect whether I agree with them completely or not. But I'm talking about
quiet sideline deals with Mexico that I simply do not understand. He is
selling out and locking up border guards who are just doing their duty.
Google Ramos and Campion to see what I mean. He supports the Law Of the Sea
Treaty, which in effect surrenders our sovereignty to the United Nations.
And what really worries me is why the Democrats aren't using that against
him. Could it be that they've all decided that the one thing they have in
common is a contempt for our sovereignty? Much as that frightens me, I think
it's possible. Why does that frighten me? Because it is a breach of trust.
It is conspiracy to undermine our culture. And it is taxation without
representation. Do yourself a favor. Find a copy of the Declaration of
Independence. While you're at it, read the tenth ammendment to the
Constitution.

I promised that I'd come back to the subject of America's image abroad. For
one thing, our swelling immigrant population tells me that it can't be as
bad as some would like you to think. It's easy and fashionable to talk about
how hated we are around the world, and sometimes I can understand where the
talk comes from. Life is not a popularity contest, and doing what you think
is right is sometimes going to make people hate you. I don't worry too much
about people like that, because they're going to hate you when they want to,
regardless of what you do. For a country that is supposed to be horrible,
millions are fighting to live here, and people from all over the world are
pushing each other aside in order to invest in America. We have our share of
problems, but most of them are elected officials. The country and the people
have a well-deserved reputation as the greatest hope for the free world.
America is still a shining city on the hill, but its up to WE THE PEOPLE to
hold our government accountable. There is an old saying. "Divide and
Conquer". If our government spends every waking moment (and every one of our
tax dollars) encouraging us to divide into opposing camps, you have to
wonder when 'Conquer' comes into it. I'm not being paranoid. I don't think
they'll do anything overt. But I do know that we're all being used for a
purpose that has nothing to do with "Protect and defend the constitution of
the United States of Amerca, agaunst all enemies, foreign and domestic." It
isn't we the democrats, or we the republicans. It's WE THE PEOPLE.

Live Free or Die

See the picture of Reagan at the top of this blog? See the Patriot Quote at
the top? Click on either link. You'll be taken to websites that really care
about what founded this country, and what makes it great. And that is,
simply put, the desire, indeed, the demand to live free or die. And you
know, the greatest, gravest threat to that simple, basic philosophy is not
what the mainstream liberal propoganda machine, what Rush Limbaugh properly
calls the drive-by media would have you believe. They'll say, and Big Sister
Hillary will agree, that it is the vast right-wing conspiracy. But the real
truth is just the opposite. The left in this country has admitted that they
want us to lose a war to an enemy that has vowed to destroy us. (Uh, yeah,
Al Qaeda promised to do that before we went to Iraq. And now we're fighting
them in Iraq, and the left openly admits that they think that'd be a great
idea.) And that's not all. They want to take away your money, and your power
to make decisions. They want to take your guns (and it was gun ownership
that freed the colonies from the British). They want to turn control of the
seas to the United Nations. No kidding. During wartime, the UN could tell
our subs when or where they had to surface. And the left thinks this is a
good idea. That is wrong and dangerous and stupid. But its not evil. What
I'm talking about here... what is truly evil and insidious and really truly
frightening is what they're not willing to say out loud. I'm talking about
Hitler stuff. I'm talking a fascist totalitarian thought police dictatorship
in a pantsuit and raising a fist in front of the star-spangled banner. I'm
talking about socialist, all-powerful federal government that takes
everything from you and then reluctantly gives out what they decide we need.
I'm talking about the fact that you can burn the flag, but not a cross. I'm
talking freedom of speech, but only if the state approves of that speech.
I'm talking about lying to an enormous voting block simply for the purpose
of enslaving them. I'm talking about tax dollars paying to pacify
islamofascists in this country but fighting tooth and nail to stop a
christian from proclaiming his or her faith. I'm talking about universities
bending over backwards to accomodate dictators vowing to destroy us and
spouting hate on a stage, but shouting down someone who's worst sin is
watching for illegal aliens crossing the border. The dictator is killing the
troops that these conspirators claim to support, and the "Minuteman" is
trying to help uphold the law. The dictator/murderer/fascist/holocaust
denier is cheered, but the American who just has a problem with people who
break the law is forced off the stage. Hate speech... what Mel Gibson is
chastised for spouting in a drunken tirade is allowed, where as the letter
of the law in this country is shouted down. There is no more perfect example
of just how polluted and diseased our colleges are.... except....

The University of Delaware has now defined a racist as any white person.
Furthermore, it states that a black person cannot, by definition, be
racist.... because, and listen carefully, they lack any power in society to
force their views or opinions on anyone else. So not only is the white race
evil by definition, but the black race is powerless by definition. And this
university accepts public funding.

This kind of thuggish, dictatorial, thought-police Nazi tactics are a real
threat. They present a clear and present danger to the principles that our
founding fathers fought to give us. From Hillary Clinton telling us what is
best for us, and no kidding holding a dictatorial iron fist poised over the
country, to Harry Reid demanding that a radio talk show host (who is doing
nothing but responsibly exercising his freedom of speech) be hushed up... no
kidding again.... demanding that Rush Limbaugh be shut up for speaking out
against a tool of the left who lied about military service to hurt those
very troops that everyone says they support.

When I talk about a vast left wing conspiracy, I'm talking about everyone
from Hillary to the mainstream propoganda machine to the universities that
are programming a generation of jack-booted brownshirts. And I say to them
what I say to you. Live free or die.

SEAL to Get Posthumous Medal of Honor

Associated Press October 12, 2007
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - A Navy SEAL who was killed while leading a reconnaissance mission in Afghanistan will receive the nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor.
Lt. Michael P. Murphy, 29, of Patchogue on Long Island, is the first Medal of Honor recipient for combat in Afghanistan, the Navy said in a statement Thursday.
In late June 2005, Murphy led a four-man reconnaissance mission east of Asadabad trying to find a key Taliban leader in advance of a mission to capture or destroy the local militia leadership. Taliban sympathizers alerted fighters to the SEALs' positions, and the four men were quickly outnumbered and came under fire, the Navy said.
Even after being wounded, Murphy crawled into the open to make a radio call for help and still continued to fight, the Navy said. The call ultimately allowed the rescue of one wounded SEAL and the recoveries of the bodies of Murphy and two others killed in the firefight.
President Bush will present the Medal of Honor to Murphy's parents at the White House on Oct. 22.
"I think it is a public recognition of what we knew about Michael, of his intensity, his focus, his devout loyalty to home and family, his country and especially to his SEAL teammates and the SEAL community," Murphy's father, Daniel Murphy told Newsday for a story published on its Web site.
The Medal of Honor is the nation's highest military award for valor in action against an enemy force. Murphy is the fourth Navy SEAL to receive the medal and the first since Vietnam.
The other two SEALs killed in the Afghan firefight, Petty Officer 2nd Class Danny P. Dietz, 25, of Littleton, Colo., and Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew G. Axelson, 29, of Cupertino, Calif., previously received the Navy Cross, the second-highest honor.
A U.S. helicopter that went to rescue the SEALs was shot down by enemy fire; 16 SEALs and Army special operations troops were killed in the crash.
The entire battle resulted in the worst single-day loss of life for Navy Special Warfare personnel since World War II.
Two Medals of Honor have been awarded posthumously in the Iraq war.

Wanted by the FBI: Jafar the Pilot

This valuable information comes courtesy of Ace of Spades HQ, at http://ace.mu.nu/

Osama bin Laden is planning to carry out new, more destructive attacks inside the United States, and there is someone working on this terror plot currently in the US, according to Hamid Mir, the famed Pakistani journalist who obtained the only post-9/11 interviews with Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri. In an interview quoted on the website of the al-Arabiya television network, Mir spoke about his last trip to Afghanistan and his meeting with al-Qaeda members and Taliban leaders. In his interview with Al.Arabiya.net, Mir said that the al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters referred to attacks targeting the US-led coalition forces during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan which begins on 24 September, and that the al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden was in "good" health during a meeting he had recently with the Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar.
Mir also said that bin Laden has assigned a man named Adnan Al-Shukri Juma to carry out a new attack within the US which is intended to be larger than the 11 September, 2001 attacks. According to Mir, Adnan Jumaa has smuggled explosives and nuclear materials into the US through the Mexican border over the last two years and is hiding somewhere in America where the FBI has not been able to locate him...

The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy

On one hand, there is a bit of irony in stealing and rewriting a phrase from Hillary "Big Sister" Clinton. Kind of like Apple having to deal with hackers rewiring their overpriced I Phones, when they got their start by hacking payphones On the other hand, there is more truth to this than her claims of a vast right wing conspiracy going after her adulterous, perjuring, draft-dodging, Bill "That depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is" and "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" Clinton. This is not a partisan thing. I don't care what party she belongs to. What I do care about is the following: (And I'm just using her own words)

"We are the president"

"I like the idea of giving every baby born in America a $5,000 account that will grow over time, so that when that young person turns 18 if they have finished high school they will be able to access it to go to college or maybe they will be able to make that downpayment on their first home."

[On the health care reform.] "We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices... Government has to make those choices for people."

"Being pro-choice is trusting the individual to make the right decision for herself and her family, and not entrusting that decision to anyone wearing the authority of government in any regard."

"I wonder if it's possible to be a Republican and a Christian at the same time."

"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you ... We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security. This much is undisputed."

"From almost the first day they got into office, they (President Bush and Vice President Cheney) were trying to figure out how to get rid of Saddam Hussein. I'm not a psychiatrist I don't know all of the reasons behind their concern, some might say their obsession."

"...there is no military solution..."

"We've begun to change tactics in Iraq, and in some areas, particularly in Al Anbar province, it's working..."

"I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life."

"Our lives are a mixture of different roles. Most of us are doing the best we can to find whatever the right balance is . . . For me, that balance is family, work, and service."

"...that not only those who harbor terrorists, but those who in any way aid or comfort them whatsoever will now face the wrath of our country. And I hope that that message has gotten through to everywhere it needs to be heard. You are either with America in our time of need or you are not."

"Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price."

"From my perspective, this is part of the continuing political campaign against my husband... I mean, look at the very people who are involved in this. They have popped up in other settings. The great story here for anybody willing to find it, write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president."

"I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration."

If, after all that, you can still say Hillary just wants what's best for us (and she knows what that is better than we do), have a look at what her liberal comrades think.

Nearly one out of every five Democrats thinks the world will be better off if America loses the war in Iraq, according to the FOX News Opinion Dynamics Poll released Thursday.

From Senator Robert Byrd, Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee:

""Mr. President, last week the Senate voted on an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill that designated a portion of the Iranian armed forces as a terrorist organization. I joined 21 of my illustrious colleagues in voting against that amendment."

By classifying that part of the Iranian Army as a terrorist organization, which of course is true for the wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard that trains radical extremists to become terrorists, that gives the U.S. government more lattitude in seizing assets internationally to try and defund them. Iran's economy is not stable. They do not have unlimited resources like many of their other Middle East neighbors. If we can seize the assets of companies that deal internationally with the Iranian regime, and therefore weaken Iranian military capabilities, that's a good start. I would think that the head of the Appropriations Committee would understand. If he doesn't, he should quit and go home. I think he does understand, but cares less about what's actually best for the country than what's best for Robert Bryd and the really baseless, indefensible liberal horde.

More from Robert Byrd:

"The intelligence that suggested he was an imminent threat was flat wrong. Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction. Saddam Hussein had not attacked our country. Saddam Hussein was a ruthless tyrant, but he was not an imminent threat to national security."

This is a perpetuation of a lie. The Hussein threat was growing, not imminent. We didn't want it to become imminent. That's what the preemption doctrine was all about. He did have weapons of mass destruction. Ask the thousands of Kurds who were slaughtered at the hands of Hussein chemical weapons. Saddam didn't attack our country, just like Germany hadn't attacked our country in 1941.

"Every day it seems that the confrontational rhetoric between the United States and Iran escalates. We hear shadowy claims about Iran's destabilizing actions in Iraq with little direct evidence offered to back it up."

Members of the Quds force, the foreign terrorism wing of the Revolutionary Guard, have been captured trying to kill American troops in Iraq. IED's that have killed American troops have Iranian signature characteristics. Generals Abizaid, Casey, Pace, Myers, Simmons and Petraeus have detailed the existence of Iranian interference in Iraq. Byrd saying there's little evidence is akin to looking down and saying there's little evidence the ground.

What Limbaugh Said

 

This is copied and pasted from the Glenn Beck website:

 

What Mr. Limbaugh Actually Said
OCTOBER 02, 2007

 

GLENN BECK PROGRAM
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

 

CALLER 2: Yeah, and, you know what --

 

LIMBAUGH: "Save the -- keep the troops safe" or whatever. I -- it's not possible, intellectually, to follow these people.

 

CALLER 2: No, it's not, and what's really funny is, they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media.

 

LIMBAUGH: The phony soldiers.

 

CALLER 2: The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country.

 

LIMBAUGH: They joined to be in Iraq. They joined --

 

CALLER 2: A lot of them -- the new kids, yeah.

 

LIMBAUGH: Well, you know where you're going these days, the last four years, if you signed up. The odds are you're going there or Afghanistan or somewhere.

 

CALLER 2: Exactly, sir.

 

***After responding to another unrelated point the caller makes, he then goes back to the 'phony soldier' subject. The gap was about 1 minute and 35 seconds before he says the following***

 

LIMBAUGH: It's just, it's frustrating and maddening, and it is why they must be kept in the minority. Look, I want to thank you, Mike, for calling. I appreciate it very much. I gotta -- let me see -- got something -- here is a "Morning Update" that we did recently talking about fake soldiers. This is a story of who the left props up as heroes. And they have their celebrities.

 

One of them was Jesse MacBeth. Now, he was a "corporal," I say in quotes -- 23 years old.

 

What made Jesse MacBeth a hero to the anti-war crowd wasn't his Purple Heart. It wasn't his being affiliated with post traumatic stress disorder from tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, though. What made Jesse MacBeth, Army Ranger, a hero to the left was his courage in their view off the battlefield.

 

Without regard to consequences, he told the world the abuses he had witnessed in Iraq: American soldiers killing unarmed civilians, hundreds of men, women, even children. In one gruesome account translated into Arabic and spread widely across the internet, Army Ranger Jesse MacBeth describes the horrors this way:

 

'We would burn their bodies. We would hang their bodies from the rafters in the mosque.'

 

Now, recently, Jesse MacBeth, a poster boy for the anti-war left, had his day in court, and you know what? He was sentenced to five months in jail and three years probation for falsifying a Department of Veterans Affairs' claim and his Army discharge record.

 

He was in the Army. Jesse MacBeth was in the Army, folks, briefly -- 44-days before he washed out of boot camp. Jesse MacBeth isn't an Army Ranger. Never was. He isn't a corporal. Never was. He never won the Purple Heart and he was never in combat to witness the horrors he claimed to have seen."

 

You probably haven't even heard about this, and if you have, you haven't heard much about it. This doesn't fit the narrative and the template of the drive-by media and the Democrat [sic] Party as to who a genuine war hero is.

 

Don't look for any retractions, by the way, not from the anti-war left, the anti-military drive-by media or the Arabic websites that spread Jesse MacBeth's lies about our troops, because the truth of the left is fiction, is what serves their purpose. They have to lie about such atrocities 'cause they can't find any that fit the template of the way they see the U.S. military.

 

In other words, for the American anti-war left, the greatest inconvenience they face is the truth.

Democrats have said that good news in Iraq is bad news for them. They insisted that we go by what the Generals on the ground said, until they didn't like what the General said. Read on:

 

Clyburn: Positive Report by Petraeus Could Split House Democrats on War

By Dan Balz and Chris Cillizza
Washington Post Staff Writer and Washingtonpost.com Staff Writer
Monday, July 30, 2007; 6:26 PM

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Monday that a strongly positive report on progress on Iraq by Army Gen. David Petraeus likely would split Democrats in the House and impede his party's efforts to press for a timetable to end the war.

Clyburn, in an interview with the washingtonpost.com video program PostTalk, said Democrats might be wise to wait for the Petraeus report, scheduled to be delivered in September, before charting next steps in their year-long struggle with President Bush over the direction of U.S. strategy.

Clyburn noted that Petraeus carries significant weight among the 47 members of the Blue Dog caucus in the House, a group of moderate to conservative Democrats. Without their support, he said, Democratic leaders would find it virtually impossible to pass legislation setting a timetable for withdrawal.

"I think there would be enough support in that group to want to stay the course and if the Republicans were to stay united as they have been, then it would be a problem for us," Clyburn said. "We, by and large, would be wise to wait on the report."

Many Democrats have anticipated that, at best, Petraeus and U.S. ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker would present a mixed analysis of the success of the current troop surge strategy, given continued violence in Baghdad. But of late there have been signs that the commander of U.S. forces might be preparing something more generally positive. Clyburn said that would be "a real big problem for us."

Clyburn's comments came as House and Senate Democrats try to figure out their next steps in the legislative battle. Clyburn said he could foresee a circumstance in which House Democrats approve a measure without a timetable for withdrawing U.S. forces, which has been the consistent goal of the party throughout the months-long debate. But he said he could just as easily see Democrats continue to include a timetable.

Clyburn also address the reasons behind declining approval ratings for Congress, which spiked earlier in the year when Democrats took over the House and Senate. The most recent Washington Post-ABC News poll showed just 37 percent approving of the performance of Congress.

"Remember right after the election it went very high on approval,?" he said. "Then all of a sudden people saw that we were not yielding the kind of result that they wanted to yield."

He said most Americans still do not know some of the domestic legislation that has been approved. Fewer understand that, despite Democratic majorities in both houses, that it takes 60 votes to pass anything legislation in the Senate.

Clyburn noted that while overall approval ratings of Congress are low, people still rate Democrats higher than Republicans. "People feel good about the Democratic Party, they just don't feel real good about the Congress itself."

 

 

The intensity of the left's determination to abandon Iraq was reflected in the reaction to a single line in Hillary Clinton's speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars last week. "We've begun to change tactics in Iraq," she said, referring to the surge, "and in some areas, particularly al-Anbar province, it's working."

That mild comment instantly drew fire from Clinton's Democratic rivals. John Edwards's campaign manager, David Bonior, warned her against "undermining the effort in the Congress to end this war."

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, another presidential hopeful, piled on: "The surge is not working. I do not give President Bush the same credit on Iraq that Hillary does." When Barack Obama addressed the VFW one day later, he stuck to the defeatists' script. "Obama Sees a 'Complete Failure' in Iraq," The New York Times headlined its report on Aug. 22.

Within 48 hours, Clinton was scurrying to toe the all-is-lost line once again: "The surge was designed to give the Iraqi government time to take steps to ensure a political solution. It has failed. . . . We need to . . . start getting out now."

 

 

The thing is, Liberals get away with this kind of thing because they do a better job of running the media. And really, until conservatives learn to do the same, they'll continue to.

What's wrong with the Statue of Liberty

From "Seinfeld". Says it all, I think....

 

 

 

One thing I love about living in New York is it's every different type of person piled one on top of the other.  I am for open immigration, but that sign we have in the front of the Statue of Liberty, "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses."  Can't we just say, "Hey, the door's open.  We'll take whoever you got."  Do we have to specify "The wretched refuse?"  Why not just say, "Give us the unhappy, the sad, the slow, the ugly, the people that can't drive, people that have trouble merging, if they can't stay in their lane, if they don't signal, they can't parallel park, if they're sneezing, if they're stuffed up, if they have bad penmanship, if they don't return calls, if they have dandruff, food between their teeth, if they have bad credit, if they have no credit, missed a spot shaving...  In other words, any dysfunctional, defective slob that you can somehow cattle prod onto a wagon, send them over.  We want them."

Ballad of House Abukoff:
 
Yet if my line should die,
it dies with its teeth in the enemy's throat,
it dies with its name on the enemy's tongue.
For just as mere life is not victory,
mere death is not defeat;
And in the next world I shall kill the foe a thousand times,
laughing,
undefeated.

American Al Jazeera

Not that I don't appreciate the 24 hour trash television provided by such
luminaries as CNN's Nancy Grace and A J Hammer, and Entertainment Tonight
and Entertainment Weekly, and Extra! and so on and so forth ad nauseum. But
you guys are really second-rate operators. I mean, really.... how do you
expect to be the best (or worst) if you continue to pretend to have a soul.
I mean, you don't, and I know that, but you still pretend. If you really
want to be the worst. The absolute worst, evil, soulless, deprived of any
pretense of decency or morals... I mean, literally the Al Jazeera of
America, you really need to be more like that bastion of blood-soaked amoral
filth and trash, TMZ. TMZ is the website and trash television spawner that
shoves cameras in drunk girl's faces and calls it entertainment. TMZ is part
of the tight-knit community of blood-suckers responsible for, among other
things, the death of Princess Diana. TMZ feeds on tragedy and unhappiness.
It takes delight in the suffering of others, and claims, like any
self-respecting rapist, that the victim was asking for it. It doesn't help
that there is a seemingly unending people willing to look at the filth
served up. I don't. I've never been to the site, and I never will. I'd
rather have AOL on my computer. And that won't happen anytime soon. I don't
actually have to, of course, because just like its Islamofascist
counterpart, it has managed to convince major news outlets that it's
important, Also, like its Islamofascist counterpart, TMZ hides behind a
pretense of journalism to feed anyone willing to listen heaps of hate and
fear (in the form of a really important and newsworthy celeb who commits the
cardinal sin of.... wait for it.... being human. You know what I'd like to
see? I'd like to see someone follow and harass the flesh-eating bacteria
that run and profit from TMZ to the point where they go nuts and sink into a
morass of drugs and booze. Oh, the humanity!

Legalized Slavery

I know that human life is cheap in this country. You can see that from
watching the news, or look at the scandal rags at the grocery checkout.
Politicians don't see us as people, they see us as votes and dollars.
Nothing else. But what amazes me is how easily and eagerly people buy into
it. Think slavery is history in this country? Or maybe that its limited to
cargo containers full of refugees who end up in sweat shops? Wrong you are.
There is slavery going on right now. In your neighborhood. In your labor
union. Maybe even in your home. How so? Well, you might not like this,
but....

The liberal machine has been telling African-Americans (I'll just mention
this once. You can't call a black person black anymore, because they've
decided they don't like it. Freedom of speech, not so much. They can call
each other that, but I can't. Not the only word they use with abandon that'd
get me locked up and beaten to a pulp. And that is because of the color of
my skin, and theirs. Got nothing to do with content of character. I'm just
saying.) for years that they could not get a fair shake just because of
brains or hard work. They've told African Americans that the only way they
could ever expect to get anything out of life is for the government to give
it to them. And why would they possibly want to do that? I mean, are we
supposed to believe that the government has spent, really, about forty years
trying to fix the civil rights problem in this country and it hasn't managed
to? If that's true, I think we need to look elsewhere for a solution.If it
has found a solution, then it's time to end state-sponsored and taxpayer
funded racism in the form of affirmative action. And of course, no liberal
is ever going to do that. You know why? Because he or she wouldn't be able
to tell their voters they can make it on their own. Tell me please how that
is not slavery. They've also spent all that time and energy convincing you
that anyone who tells you otherwise is a racist. In fact, that word 'racist'
is free bank card. A get out of jail free card, and a ticket to the front of
every line. All you have to is pledge alleigance to them. The only legal,
state-sponsored slavery in the country.

"Lone Survivor"

Putting aside the rant for once to talk about heroes. Not Superman or
Batman. Not even sports stars. I'm talking about real life struggling,
self-sacrificing heroes. What I'm really talking about is a book called
"Lone Survivor", and the hero at the center of it, Marcus Luttrell. Marcus
Luttrell is a Navy Seal (and just based on that he is worthy of our extreme
admiration) who was serving in Iraq when he and three of his team members
were deployed to Afghanistan. I'm not going to tell you much about the book,
because I want you to read it for yourself. Buy the book. Get it from the
library. Borrow it from a friend. Whatever. Just read the book. It doesn't
detail an epic battle that decided a war, or saved a bunch of people. In
fact, most of the bad guys are still on the loose. But what what really got
me about this book is what people are willing to do, not for headlines or
medals, but for pretty abstract ideas. Duty. Honor. Country. This isn't
about politics. It's about flat out courage. I don't have a lot of heroes in
my life. But Marcus Luttrell is one of them.

"I'm Quitting the Republican Party" Part Two: YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to follow on with the real, sensible solution to some of the
issues facing America and the world, and why everyone currently in politics
is completely incapable (or at least unwilling) of doing anything that helps
us rather than them. But I'm not going to bother. We knoow they're crap. We
all do. There is no voter out there who can honestly, in their heart, say
that they believe that their candidate will say the hell with the polls, to
hell with my legacy, to hell with how history or the mainstream media judges
me, I'm going to fix the country. That is not going to happen. And it's not
because there are no good people in this country. Any person will, without
outside influence, generally do the decent thing. But politicians...
Republocrats I call them, are not without outside influence. They start out
small somewhere, with probably good intentions, thinking they can improve
their little corner of the world. And that's where they should have stayed.
But then they get the ambition to to move up, and we've lost them. Even,
even, if they move up through local to state government, they can do some
good if their scruples have survived. IF. Big word. But if they have, then
they can still do good. Because they live where they govern. After that,
they get the King syndrome. And they're gone. Give them a red lightsaber,
and change their name to Darth (insert hated politician's name of your
choice here). They've gone to the dark side. So what do we do? First
acknowledge that no independent will ever get elected to the White House.
The Republocrats own it, and they'll never give it up. So what you really
have to do is scrap the general election process. It's broken, and it'll
never get fixed, because the sharks who own it don't want it fixed. Scrap
it. Get rid of it. Then you fire the whole damn Federal Government.
Everyone. The money that we save will pay for the salaries of necessary Fed
employees. Military, ambassadors, Intelligence community. The rest of it...
take the savings and give it to the states. And then, because we should have
a head of state, hold a lottery for president. Require a decent credit
rating, and no criminal record (right there you've improved over what we
have now), and then get stuck with the job for six years. Then you're out
for good. Someone else gets the job. Congress is next. Gone. Governors can
communicate with each other, and decide what they need to do to get the job
done. There's no influence of corruption, because they've reached the
pinnacle of their political career. We've been conned into thinking that we
need lawyers to run the country. That couldn't be farther from the truth.
There is no profession (with the exception of politics) that is at once so
self-serving and a drain on the lifeblood of the country. They are
responsible for tha basketcase that is the American healthcare system. Why?
Malpractice insurance. That says it all. Shakespeare knew what to do with
lawyers. The same should go for career politicians. And television news
anchors. And the fact is, common sense isn't taught in law school. It isn't
taught anywhere. You either have it or you don't. And the average person,
who survives on common sense, has more than the average blood sucking
lawyer.

So am I trashing the constitution? No. We weren't trashing it when we
outlawed slavery, or gave women the vote. We were amending it to suit the
realities of the day. And this day, our Federal government is broken. We
need to fix it. Oh boy, do we need to fix it!
