As I am sitting here writing this, Joe Biden is giving a speech about the economy.
Ironically, the split screen on the TV has Joe Biden on one side, and the stock market dropping on the other side.
The fall of Lehman Brothers is just what democrats needed.
Because they NEED to be needed.
Everyone needs to be needed.
And if the economy heads into the crapper, if more US soldiers are killed in Afghanistan, and if one more hurricane slams into America:
“It’s party time for- The party of the people..!!”
As I was switching around the channels, Fox News looked like they were reporting a funeral, while talking about Lehman Brothers. CNN had some chick on TV that was smiling like she was at a cocktail party.
Devastation and destruction is good news for the democratic party because the bad banking news, falling stock market, and the hurricanes are all the fault of President Bush.
And of course we know…
John McCain and President Bush are both clones. They are the same. Exact copies.
You cannot tell them apart..!!
Barack Obama stated, (after the “Lipstick on a pig comment”), that he wants to talk about the issues, not this back and forth attacking.
While Obama was speaking about a “fair” campaign, his staff was putting together an ad which claims McCain is so old, he doesn’t know how to use the Internet.
A President’s ability to use the Internet- is that a policy issue? (Economy, the war, taxes)? Or is that an attack?
Barack Obama wants to talk about the issues that are important to Americans, he doesn’t want to attack. So today, Obama and Joe Biden are driving home how McCain is “just like Bush.”
Is that policy?
Or is that opinion?
“Sprite tastes just like 7up” This is an opinion.
“A Hershey bar is just like a Dove bar.” Also an opinion.
“John McCain is just like Bush.” This too, is also an opinion.
Obama claims he wants to talk about the issues, but he does something totally different. His campaign is on attack mode.
TEAM Obama realized, (much after the rest of us bloggers did) that attacking Sarah Palin wasn’t working. So today, Joe Biden and Obama are attacking McCain because he is a republican:
“Look, the republican McCain voted with the republican Bush. Those republicans are voting the same. How dare people of the same party vote the same way..!! We democrats NEVER vote with our fellow democrats..”
If this were a poker game, Obama just placed that 66 millions dollars that you sent him on the bet that- McCain is George Bush.
This might work.
Except for:
George Bush has only been a president for 8 years. McCain has been in the congress for several decades. There are many examples of McCain voting against his party.
Barack Obama doesn’t have any of this.
Obama always votes with the far left of his party. He NEVER strays far from the socialist left. Obama has voted in lock step like socialist democrats have voted since 1913.
This current attack from Obama’s will fail just like the attacks on Sarah Palin.
They will fail because the reason we have these bank failures is because socialistic democrats forced lenders to provide loans to people who could not pay back the loans.
The socialistic idea of putting everyone in their own home, cause this crisis.
Capitalism would have worked if government would get out of the way.
Obama’s solution to this problem..??
Tax these large companies more.
(Sure, the best way to help someone who is about to claim chapter 11 is to tax the crap out them so that you can start a huge new social program- national health care.)
There is nothing new here…
Because Obama has nothing NEW and doesn’t stand to change anything, the only thing Obama can do is attack.
And attack- TEAM Obama will:
Mister Obama…
Could you please talk about the issues and stop attacking John McCain like a third grade child would?
Let’s sum up the current Obama attacks:
McCain is so old he cannot use the Internet.
Sprite is like 7up and McCain is like Bush.
Obama is like Jesus and Sarah Palin is like the guy who killed Jesus.
Mister Obama…
We only have weeks before the election. Could you please put down the Crayon, sit up straight in your desk, and talk about the issues..??

A word about the last three photos-
The button, which liberals use to educate us on the fact that Jesus was a “community organizer”… (I didn’t know that Jesus worked with the Roman Senate to bring government tax money to social groups. I always thought Jesus taught self reliance, belief in God, and to help others..??)
Well, anyways, this button was shown on “Meet the Press” with Tom Brokaw. Tom asks if conservatives went too far in picking on “community organizers?
Hey, Tom… How about asking Obama if HE went to far picking on war veterans who cannot use a computer keyboard?
The last two photos are from an Atlantic Monthly magazine photographer who was paid to shoot pictures of John McCain. She then took these outtakes and, well.. you can see what she did with them.
We did NOT break the record for the biggest ice melt in the Arctic region.
“…Crucial Arctic sea ice this summer shrank to its second lowest level on record, continuing an alarming trend, scientists said Tuesday.
The ice covered 1.74 million square miles on Friday, marking a low point for this summer, according to NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo. Last summer, the sea ice covered only 1.59 million square miles, the lowest since record-keeping began in 1979…”
The liberal left in America has stooped to the lowest low I have ever seen in my lifetime, in America.
It is nothing less than a verbal RAPE of a human being.
Today, members of Obama’s liberal left, hacked into Sarah Palin’s PERSONAL e-mail account, and then published it on a national web site.
It is nothing less than sickening.
To think, I had to listen to members of the left preach about how terrible it was that we had The Patriot Act and that the CIA could listen to terrorist’s phone messages without a warrant.
The left preached-
“Innocent people could lose their privacy.”Never, not one time, has there been any report of mistreatment with The Patriot Act.
However, Obama’s liberal left has stolen an American’s privacy. This privacy was NOT invaded to catch a terrorist.
It was stolen by the left for the sole purpose to win an election.
Folks, there is no way that Obama and his cronies can get anywhere NEAR the White House.
If they are willing to invade the privacy of an American citizen BEFORE Obama has power…
Can you imagine what TEAM Obama will do once he has power..??
All of you liberals who were crying to me about President Bush listening to terrorists, how do you feel about your liberal buddies hacking Sarah Palin’s personal e-mails?
Is this what you are voting for..??
Is this the “great change” that Obama will deliver..??
The cries from the left will be…
“…We think Sarah was using her private e-mail for government business. She is trying to hide something…”
What happened to innocent before proven guilty..??
There is no evidence that she used her private e-mail for government business, and so what if she did? A judge could give a warrant if there was evidence that she had.
But the left doesn’t want to wait…
TEAM Obama sent 30 lawyers up to Alaska, and just by chance- Sarah Palin’s e-mails get hacked..??
Don’t you think that is a little strange..??
The verbal RAPE of Sarah Palin by the liberal left…
Do you know what it reminds me of..??
Remember the old stories in history class when town folks would surround a person and stone them to death for some”supposed” crime..??
The person never got a chance to confront a judge or a jury, the people just stoned them to death without a trial.
Sarah Palin has not been charged with any crime.
But the left is verbally raping her and stoning her to “political” death.
Well, I digress…
We, little bloggers, have tried to warn the left that picking on Sarah Palin will backfire.
They didn’t listen.
The left is hoping that the focus of these stolen e-mails will be (IF) Sarah had government business on them.
But the actual CRIME was committed by Obama’s liberal left.
When most Americans hear this news, they will be sickened by the liberal attacks on Sarah Palin.
I believe the liberal left went one step too far and just lost this election.
My generation, the “peaceful caring” hippies, really F**ked you poor people up.
Us folks, (in our 60’s, 50’s, and even the late 40’s) for some reason, felt we should place into your skulls a sense of “entitlement.”
What the hell were we thinking..??
What was the reasoning for teaching young minds, (who are now aging liberals) that “birth” gives you the “right” to FREE stuff..??
OK…
I must state that I am speaking “figuratively.”
I know many of you folks have raised your kids with a sense of “worth and value.” However, I am talking about a generation of parents who raised children to believe the taxpayers owe them a living.
Why did we do this..??
Was it because we saw our parents and grandparents struggle during the Great Depression and WW2; so we taught children to fight for free “gifts” from the government..??
I’m not sure why my generation strayed away from independence.
What happened to: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country..” JFK
Or:
“
Government is NOT the solution. Government is the problem..” Reagan
What happened to independence..??
My grandfather was so proud, he never asked anyone for a penny. He would go without, or find a way to earn whatever he needed.
This trait was passed on to my mother, who also passed it on to me. What a wonderful gift! It forces you to do some critical thinking. When you cannot rely on the taxpayers to save you, you must invent ways to earn what you need.
It is then, that you realize: Being average, will allow you to survive. Being better gives a better life. Being the best, will move you higher up the ladder. (This pertains to whatever profession you choose.)
Being independent allows you- to be you..!!
Independence is not just a word. It is a way of life. This country was founded on independence. Independence from Europe, sure- that is true. But independence from a government that controls your life. (Who you can marry, if you can have an abortion, if you can put a shopping mall on YOUR property, etc)
Independence is a far better way of life.
So, I’m not really sure why my generation decided to teach children that they are entitled to free stuff from the taxpayers..??
Because you were born- you get free food.
Because you were born- you get free medicine.
Because you were born- you get a paycheck.
Because you were born- you get passing grades in school.
Today, the democrat presidential candidate: Barack Obama, feels he is entitled to be president.
Obama has no leadership experience and on many important issues, as senator- Obama voted “present” because he didn’t want to make a decision.
As president of the United States, you cannot vote “present” to avoid a bad decision. (And Obama has made many bad decisions.)
The democratic VP pick: Joe Biden, wants you to pay higher taxes. He said it would be “patriotic.” (Can you hear the founding fathers rolling in their graves: having fought a war to save America from higher taxes?)
Independence or entitlement…
That is what this election breaks down to.
Man, I do not know what my generation was thinking when we decided to teach the young that because they were born; they are entitled to FREE stuff from the taxpayers.
There was a lot of drug use, back in the 70’s and 60’s. Maybe we were stoned..?? That might explain our choice?
There was also that “sexual revolution” that kept us busy.
I’m not really sure why we decided to teach entitlement?
But, again, I apologize..!!
We really screwed you up..!!
My biggest fear..??
(Obama being elected..??)
No, not really. My fear is bigger than one man and one election.
My biggest fear is that you will feel entitled and you will never really try. This will lead you to an “average” life. And you could do much better than “average”, if you tried.
Written by AR Babonie for The Angry Republic
OK, so I apologized for my generation screwing you up with thoughts of entitlement.
So, to make it up to you…
I will join you in bashing Sarah Palin.
(Which seems to be the liberal thing to do..!!)
The Angry Republican Video Broadcast number 14
“Sarah Palin clubs baby seals”
“Sarah Palin chews tobacco and spits it out the window.”
The liberal left makes a BIG DEAL that Karl Rove might help republican candidates. “That’s terrable, Karl shouldn’t be aloud to interfere..”
But here’s one thing Karl Rove CANNOT do.
..
Call up Saturday Night Live and offer a comedy bit- (which is nothing more than a 5 minute democratic campaign commercial.)
This is exactly what happened- from the left.
Former SNL writer and cast member Al Franken, WHO NO LONGER WORKS FOR NBC AND IS a Democrat- currently running for the U.S. Senate from Minnesota (conflict, anyone..??)- was allowed to pen a comedy sketch that cut down John McCain.
And Saturday Night Live plays the bit..!!
Folks, wouldn’t it be nice to have a “hot line” to a national TV show like Saturday Night Live? Maybe have Paul Shanklin, (Rush Limbaugh’s parody writer) call up SNL and offer a comedy dig at democrats? And Paul isn’t running for political office so there is no conflict involved.
But this isn’t going to happen.
Conservatives have to be stronger.
Night after night, The Late Show with David Letterman makes fun of the President with a bit called: “Great moments in Presidential speeches.” In every show, they play great moments in speeches made by popular presidents. Then, of course, they play a clip of President Bush stumbling through the English language on one of his “bad days”.
Yet, two of the greatest gaffes of recent- Obama referring to “his Muslim faith”, and Joe Biden asking a handi-cap, wheel chair ridden man to “stand up.. Stand up Chuck..”, these “Great Moments” never seem to make it on Lettermen’s show?
Night after night, Letterman pokes fun at McCain and Palin- “She looks like the kind of gal that works in a library- ‘Shhss, keep it down boys..”
But Barack Obama and Joe Biden are off limits. There is no comedy written about them.
I love both shows and watch as often as I can. I Grew up watching the Late Show and SNL. I love comedy and I do not mind the witty “slap in the face,” but those shows go beyond the clever slap and pull out a baseball bat and slug a man when he is down.
I keep hoping that I might see some Biden jokes, but that isn’t going to happen.
As always, conservatives have to be stronger.
The media is all on board reporting about McCain having 13 cars. (Wow, 13 is a lot of cars..??)
But yet the media doesn’t seem to find the time to report that Obama made 4 million last year, (way, way more than McCain made) and that Obama just added a new jet- Obama “Change 1″.
There just isn’t enough time to report that.
I keep hoping that the media might be a little more balanced, but that isn’t going to happen.
Conservatives HAVE to be stronger.
Democratic candidates are running around promising Americans GREAT gifts. Like national health care, tax credits for the poor and middle class, and basically- democrats will fix EVERYTHING by throwing money at the problem.
Conservatives have to warn that raising taxes will hurt America in this economy, warn that building HUGE new programs is dangerous when older programs are in trouble. We conservatives have to be “the parent” to the childish democrats who want to spend, spend, spend, and tax the people to death.
For trying to be responsible and offer a conflicting view, we conservatives are labeled: Mean.
We do not care for the poor.
My last editorial was a little test. In it, I offered a post about “personal responsibility.” It had less to do with government.
The comments from the left immediately claimed that (I), we conservatives, want to CUT all programs and abandon the poor.
Since when did personal responsibility have anything to do with funding a “food stamp program?” That would fall under the realm of social responsibility. How much money did you give to the poor last year..??
Personal responsibility has more to do with getting your ass off the couch and going to work.
Social responsibility is something that you should have been raised to do, automatically. No government should have to reach into your wallet and FORCE you to help others. (You hear that Joe Biden: who made $200,000 thousand last year and only gave $2,000 to charity..??)
Because we conservatives caution the voter that raising taxes and creating BIG social programs in this economy is dangerous, we are shouted down as “uncaring” and “out of touch with the common man.”
You hope that this will change and a debate can take place, but that ain’t going to happen. You, as a conservative, will be called a “tool of the rich,” a “red neck from the red states”, and you just do not understand how the global economy works.
Conservatives have to be stronger.
The reason the conservative message is so clear..??
Because we have had to FIGHT to get that message out there.
We were never able to rely on ABC, NBC, CBS, or NY Times to help us.
We never had a HUGE industry in media- like Hollywood, to back us up.
We never could rely on a speech about “hope and change.” Because no one in the media would help us..!!
We have always had to spell out our message and win people over, because Saturday Night Live and David Letterman are not going to help us.
The reason conservatives are stronger..??
Because we have to be.

**********UPDATES************
Hackergate
What’s going on in the Palin: e-mail hacking case..??
FBI serves search warrant against UT student in Palin case. David Kernell is the son of Mike Kernell, a Democratic state representative from Memphis. The FBI is searching his place and I believe, have his computer.
Sarah Palin NEVER voted to charge rape victims for the “rape kits” used by investigators. This is another lie by the left.
As mayor, she never had the opportunity to vote on the issue, even if she wanted to.
Most cities around the country would charge a person for any special investigative costs, during the initial part of a case. These costs were then reimbursed by the criminal during sentencing as “court costs, fines, fees, and restitution.”
Under the “abused women and children’s act” (I believe it is called) states would lose federal funding if they didn’t provide certain investigative tools completely free. Every state, including Alaska, followed suit.
Sarah Palin never took a vote on this matter.
And, for some reason, the left doesn’t tell you that while governor of Alaska, Palin increased the funds for women services.
But hey; if you are liberal, you don’t care about the facts, and it sounds good- stick it out on the Internet and see how many stupid people repeat it..?
What was it that PT Barnum used to say..?
Source- CNN News
“Stage Right” or stage fright..??
Remember when Obama had a HUGE crowd of screaming people packed into the Denver Bronco’s stadium..?? 80,000 people it was, I believe.
Well, Sarah Palin happened to draw in 60,000 screaming fans in Florida.
The difference..??
There were no Greek columns, no Stevie Wonder singing “Isn’t (he) wonderful.” No Oprah waiting in the wings.
Nope…
There was none of that.
Just 60,000 people who wanted to meet Sarah Palin and John McCain.
Shows to watch- This might be interesting?
Tuesday- Greta Van Susteren (Fox News) interviews former President Clinton. Normally, I wouldn’t care about this. However, Bill Clinton recently said glowing things about McCain and Palin. I am curious how committed he might be for Barack Obama..??
This Friday night- Presidential debate between Obama and McCain. I have never tried doing an updated blog while the debate is taking place. So this would be the perfect time to try that out!
Oct 2- VP Debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden.
But I bet people on the right and the left wouldn’t mind seeing it happen?
With John McCain claiming, (at this point) that he will not debate Friday. And Obama saying that he will be there. Barack will need someone to debate. (Instead of debating himself.)
Why not a Palin- Obama debate?
Many of us conservatives believe Gov. Palin can defend herself, and “what the hell”, let her take on the left’s top dog..!! (We can’t wait for the Palin- Biden debate.)
I believe that many on the left would like to see this debate also. Because they have underestimated another republican.
You can see it all over the media; the “Palin isn’t very smart” jokes.
But this is a tactic that the left always uses on our candidates. They claimed Reagan wasn’t smart enough. That he was just acting like a president. We had Dan Quayle jokes.
And, of course, our president- George Bush. (Need I go over the things they have said about him.)
You would think they would get tired of this tactic? I mean, George Bush had higher college grades than John Kerry, but that didn’t stop the left from the attacks.
So now, they have labeled Sarah Palin as “dumb.” Which is underestimating a person.
Yes, we conservative do label the democrat candidates as- unpatriotic, America haters. However, that is usually hidden within our media sources.
The democratic tactic is placed right out in mainstream media. From the way Charlie Gibson interviews Palin, to the way reporters question how “small” Alaska is and can she govern?
Well, I just thought it would be amusing (IF) Sarah showed up Friday night and debated Obama while McCain is in DC. (Doing whatever he is doing there.)
It would be a lose- lose situation for Obama. If he won, he would run the risk of looking like a bully or elite.
And if Obama lost the debate against Palin..
.
Well, no need to venture down that road because this debate will not happen.
What did he say..??
What top democrats are saying about McCain suspending his campaign to be in DC:
Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the chief House Democrat on the bill, said late Wednesday, “all of a sudden, now that we are on the verge of making a deal, John McCain airdrops himself to help us make the deal.”
Aaaahh, Barney- the deal didn’t go through..
“John McCain did nothing to help,”
said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who attended the meeting.
“He only hurt the process.”
“We don’t want presidential politics involved in this,”
Reid told reporters.
Mr. Reid, I believe McCain is STILL a member of the senate and has every right to be there.
Kind of makes you feel like you are at a playground, and the other kids want McCain to take his sand pail an go home.
I believe that McCain dropped this campaign- at great risk to his election, to do his current job.
Barack Obama was going to phone it in, or maybe give a “present” vote on financing.
But as I commented on EKY’s blog, I think this issue is to big to play politics on. I am just poking fun at the little nuances of this spectacle, but the bigger issue needs all of us to work together.
This problem started in the Clinton Presidency. Republicans had 6 years to fix it, they didn’t. Democrats had two years with Pelosi, Reid, Barney Franks, and Dodd in high- oversight positions; and they did nothing.
Both parties screwed things up and we are going to have to work together, to make sure we don’t get screwed again.
It looks like the 700 billion dollar blank check idea is toast.
Last I heard, they were close to voting a 200 (plus) billion dollar bailout (loan), but republicans didn’t sign on. So everyone went home..??
McCain- “..I have decided to suspend my campaign. I need to head to DC and take part in this bailout plan..”
Obama- “.. I am NOT going to DC. They can call me if they need me. OK, maybe I will go to DC after all..”
McCain- “..America has the second highest corporate taxes in the world. We cannot grow…”
Obama- “McCain is right about the high corporate taxes. (But I want to tax them even MORE.) Maybe we can get to first place..??”
McCain- “..I have a bracelet from a fallen soldier..”
Obama- “..I got a bracelet, too. (Let me look down and check the name on this bracelet..”)
Follow the leader…
And Obama was two steps behind, the whole way.
Who won last nights debate..??
It depends on which TV show that you watch, or which web site you visit.
I feel this debate was a tie. I do not believe that either candidate was able to swing new voters their way. I don’t believe that there were any NEW sound bites to use. No real “zingers” or “gotcha” moments.
So for me, if I would rely solely on this debate, I would say it was a tie.
But the events that lead up to this debate is what turns my stomach and makes me more determined to see McCain win.
That attacks by democrats on McCain for being at this congressional “bailout” meeting were childish. Actually telling McCain to leave. He is a senator and has every right to be there.
Then- the out right lies about what happened in the meeting. (We are just now finding out what took place and I have placed some links below.) However, Harry Reid and Barney Franks claiming that McCain screwed up a deal that almost passed.
They never were close to passing a deal.
McCain showed up and barely said anything- other than that maybe they should review other options.
McCain didn’t cause chaos at this meeting. Democrats had the votes to pass this deal and President Bush was ready to sign it. But democrats didn’t pass it. Because it is a bad deal- as currently written.
Second…
The recent ads by Obama (or his Pacs) are the lowest I have ever seen. Showing pictures of McCain after cancer treatment. Scaring people about McCain’s age and the risk of cancer. Obama has made a miscalculation on this. Every American knows someone who is fighting cancer, and everyone knows someone who is a wise- older American.
Liberals- who seem to care about terrorist’s rights, that Russia gets fair treatment after invading Georgia; now these same liberals seem to NOT trust cancer survivors and the senior citizens of America? (Not a very good way to run an election..!!) CLUE: if most TV networks will NOT play your TV commercial, you probably went too far.
Equally disturbing are the other Obama ads which lie about what people have said about McCain. (I have placed a link below for a few.)
I’m not really sure what happened to TEAM Obama..??
They seemed to hold their own against Hillary.
Today, liberals and TEAM Obama are picking on cancer survivors, verbally raping Sarah Palin, and telling America that older people cannot lead.
Liberals claim that old people should just go away.
(That is what democrat Harry Reid said..!! I can’t freaking believe it..!! He actually said that.)
TEAM Obama- how low can they go..??
If I only had the debate to rely on. If I had no knowledge of current dealings. Then I would say this debate was close.
But because of the lies and crap coming from democrats and TEAM Obama, I would say McCain is the clear winner this week.
Besides, polls show most Americans are leery of this billion dollar bailout and McCain is the one who seems to have stopped it- for the time being.
Is McCain the only person in DC who understands that many Americans do not care for this bailout?

VP Debate- Sarah Palin vs. Joe Biden
This Thursday at 9pm
It seems as if no one is giving Sarah any chance of winning. Should we panic..??
***********
Final 2 presidential debates between Obama and McCain- Oct 7, Oct 15.
I mean, had someone just wind up and kick you in the backside with the iron boot..??
I woke up this morning, read the headlines, and felt the cold- iron boot slam into my backside.
The FIRST headline that kicked me in the backside was:
VP Debate moderator is writing a book about Obama.
The moderator of Thursday’s VP debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden is currently writing a book about Black American achievements. Gwen Ifill has dedicated one / quarter of the book to Barack Obama.
However, the media is telling me not to worry because Gwen Ifill will be fair to both Sarah and Joe.
Let’s see…
The person doing the VP debate has a vested interest in seeing Obama win the election, and I shouldn’t worry- because she will be fair.
(Iron boot kicks conservatives in the backside- Ouch..!!)
Headline number 2, which found it’s mark on my backside:
Senate- Vote today on bailout
The Senate is meeting today, to pass the financial bailout bill, in an attempt to force the House to do the same. (They plan on voting tonight.)
Folks, I have a feeling that- one way or another- congress WILL pass some kind of bailout bill. The details? Who really knows at this point..??
(Iron boot is mighty cold, and hurts..!!)
Headline number 3:
The “fix” is in.
Major news networks are pushing for a president Obama, and there is nothing we can do. They will not cover Obama and Biden gaffes, lies, and deception. However, they will cover any mistake made by McCain and Palin.
Even little things like showing only White people in the audience during a McCain rally. (When hundreds of Black, Asian, and Hispanic people attend.)
However, at an Obama rally- the network cameras pan out and show every nationality on the globe.
Yes, the fix is in. It has been in for a while.
The FREE media attention given to Obama by the multi- billion dollar media outlets, is FAR BIGGER than any contribution made by an Oil Company to a republican candidate.
People complain about Big Oil influencing politicians. However, Big Media is openly backing a presidential candidate- and people sit quietly and let it happen.
Where is the outrage..??
(Iron boot is getting colder. I think I’m bleeding.)
Headline number 4:
You may NOT know everything about Obama?
Stanley Kurtz warns us of Barack Obama’s role with ACORN, back in Chicago.
We know projects like ACORN help put people in housing that they couldn’t afford. Which helped cause this mess we are in today. We know ACORN has been charged with voter fraud.
And yet, no Big Media types are covering this?
Members of Big Media (anonymously) admit, (see the link I have below) that they sent reporters to Alaska to investigate Sarah Palin. But they have NO- (zero) none- not one reporter in Chicago, checking out Barack Obama past.
(Palin isn’t running for president. Obama is.)
But it doesn’t matter.
The “fix” is in.
The “fix” is in- in more ways than one.
The “fix” that congress has on fixing this banking crisis. When MOST American’s do not want it. That many prominent people claim- will not necessarily help Wall Street in the long run. (Band-aid on a broken arm.) And, Rush Limbaugh is telling me that this senate bill is chuck full of “gifts” that republican and democratic senators will LOVE. Oh boy..!!
And if that wasn’t bad enough:
The “fix” is in to get Obama elected.
Folks, I have been around a while, and I have never seen anything like this..??
Tonight’s vote in the Senate could effect all of us, in ways we may not understand for a while.
Tomorrow nights VP debate could effect the 2008 election.
(And the moderator of the debate wrote a book about Obama..??)
You have just got to laugh about this stuff, what else can you do..??
The only thing that we can do is tell the truth and be the best. Hopefully, Americans will see past the politics.
However, I feel like I’m playing golf and the judge just forced me to add a 20 stroke handi-cap to my score card. And Tiger Woods is my opponent.
Written by AR Babonie for The Angry Republic
The Angry Republic presents:
AR’s Video SHORTY number 1
(Filled with the same kind of CRAP as my other videos, just shorter.)
Maybe like you, I am sick of thinking and talking about this financial crisis.
The “brain trust” that we have elected and sent to Washington DC, have come up with a plan, voted, and signed (said plan) into law.
Now we watch as this plan:
“Flies or Dies.”
I feel like we need to do something. Throwing money at this problem may not fix it.
Voting all of these idiots out of DC would be a delusion. It would take a massive effort by “we” the voters. People become fond of their state politicians and would probably place many of them back into office. Without drastic change in the House and Senate, not much WILL CHANGE.
If you think changing the president to Obama or McCain- will help? Maybe. But neither are running very fast to catch the people who caused this banking crisis.
Joe Biden, John McCain, and Barack Obama could all set up a committee to launch investigations into what went wrong in American banking. Sarah Palin cannot, being a governor. Unless, a crooked banking guy committed a crime in Alaska.
Ron Paul (or Bob Barr) cannot garnish more than 10% of the vote, so here we are. Stuck like a pig in the mud.
We could blame John McCain for everything, however; he was only one of one hundred senators during this mess.
We could blame Barack Obama for this but, again, he was only one in one hundred.
I think it is silly to play the “party politics” game on something this important. I’m willing to say that President Bush SHOULD have done something long ago, to fix this.
But liberals must also be willing to realize that banking rules changed during President Carter and Clinton. People at the top, when the banks came tumbling down, were Barney Franks and Dodd.
Both parties had a hand in this banking crisis, no one is innocent.
We have to weed out these people who caused this.
Or the whole dam thing will return.
(Funny, I started this editorial out saying I was “sick” of talking about this banking crisis. And then I launch into a rant about it?)
Moving along, I thought I would focus on other people in the news today:
Lindsay Lohan said this-
“..Is our country so divided that republicans best hope is a narrow- minded, media obsessed homophobe..” Said by Lindsay Lohan
Ms. Lohan- Sarah Palin, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and John McCain all hold the same ideas on Gay marriage. All four are not going to change the law or the definition of marriage. However, all four believe same sex couples should have rights similar to opposite sex couples.
Might I also point out that many on the left cried about the fact that Sarah Palin WAS NOT DOING ENOUGH media interviews. So, I’m not really sure how Palin could be “obsessed” with the media?
Lohan- Rehab just called. They have a room ready..!!
Moving along-
Pornography maker Larry Flint is creating a porno with a Sarah Palin look alike.
Hey, what can I say about this? You get famous and this type of “stuff” will happen. I am sure- somewhere out there- is a porno flick with a guy that looks like President Clinton. (I can only imagine a porno name like: “The Oral office..??”)
However, it doesn’t get much sicker than this-
Artist Bruce Elliot is creating naked paintings of Sarah Palin and getting them placed in public places. (Bars, etc.) Bruce Elliot uses his daughter as the “naked Palin” stand in while he paints.
OK, that is really creepy..!!
Let’s see…
You tell your daughter to do the dishes, then you tell your daughter to get naked so you can paint a picture of a politician that you dislike..??
Booo..!!
Bill O’Reilly-
There are many times that I disagree with Bill O’Reilly. But I have to admit something about him;
He is doing the type of interviews that the mainstream media used to do.
I remember when I was younger, the TV shows “60 Minutes” and “20 / 20″ were MUST watch shows. You had reporters getting into the faces of crooked business people and politicians. Both shows were a hit..!!
Today, both shows are just a shadow of what they used to be. Aside from John Stossel, there isn’t anyone who is willing to take on democrats and republicans. Or question global warming and religion.
All of the shows today seem to have a hidden agenda. They seem to be trying to focus on one party, and give a pass to the other party.
Bill O’Reilly takes on any who will be on his show.
Which leads me to the movie:
“An American Carol”
Rush Limbaugh explains the importance of this movie:
I was stunned to see that David Zucker was putting out a movie that makes fun of Michael Moore.
I have followed David Zuckers’ film making career since I was a teenager. I barely remember his: “Kentucky Fried Movie.”
However, I can recite dialogue from Zuckers’ movies: “Airplane”, “The Naked Gun”, and “Scary Movie 3 & 4.”
So when I found out that David Zucker did a movie poking fun at Michael Moore, I knew I couldn’t wait for the DVD and had to support this movie at the theater.
Liberals believe they have the market cornered on humor with shows like Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show”. That might not be true in the future.
I feel it is a SAD shame that Zucker had to go to France to find a distributor for “An American Carol.”
Not ONE American film studio would distribute it.
In America, you can make fun of religion (Bill Maher), however; making fun of Michael Moore is off limits.
(As John Stossel would say:)
“Give me a break..!!”
So, I’m hoping this movies does well.
(Maybe the next target could be- Al Gore and global warming.)
That is, if David Zucker is still allowed in Hollywood??
Mr. Zucker might have to head to Ballywood or Canada for the freedom to speak.
Sen. Obama is banking on the fact that you will be interested in learning MORE about the Keating 5 scandal, a case in which John McCain was found to be NOT guilty of any crime.
Some people might be interested in this slice of history.
Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin feel we need to know more about Obama’s past.
The question being asked around the Internet:
“Could Obama GET security clearance to enter certain sections of the Pentagon..??”
If we were talking about one shady member of Obama’s past- say his 20 year relationship with Reverend Wright, then you might be able to forgive something like that. We all make mistakes.
But when you add in the fact that Obama started his political career inside of known terrorist William Ayers house. Obama worked with Ayers on two different charity boards. (One of which, helped low income people get houses that they couldn’t afford and couldn’t pay back the loans.)
All and all, Barack Obama has ties to 17 radicals. (Many of which, I cannot talk about at this time.)
You have to ask yourself- “Why does Obama HIDE his past..?? Why can’t we find any papers authored by Obama while he was at Harvard?
2004- The media was touting that Sen. John Kerry would be the next president. He was ahead in the polls, it was a sure thing.
Except for a group of Vietnam Vets who began to speak out about Kerry’s military record.
Oh.. Yes, there is an October surprise in 2008.
For now, I leave you with this basic question-
“Could Barack Obama receive security clearance to enter the Pentagon..??”
ANSWER- I believe- No..!!
(That is, unless you folks vote him into the office of President.)
We are NOT alone
With the political gloves now coming off during this election, (Actually, I believe the gloves came off LONG ago when Obama’s cronies began to print up false stories about Sarah Palin banning books, or charging rape victims for “rape kits”, which never happened).
You might wonder if modern politics has reached a vomit inducing low point in American history?
If you are wondering that, you would be wrong.
Today, Barack Obama is trying to label John McCain: “the same as George Bush.”
John McCain is trying to label Obama as inexperienced and that he has ties to “shady people.”
Folks, we are NOT alone.
This 1832 political cartoon shows President Andrew Jackson as “KING JACKSON.”
(Being only a few decades past the War of 1812, labeling someone a KING was about as bad as calling them a terrorist.)
(The cartoon has President Jackson STANDING on The Constitution. That’s a LOW BLOW..!!)
Democratic President Jackson wanted to expand the role and powers of the president, and the opposing “Whig Party” ran with “King Jackson” as a political attack.
President Jackson had no problem expanding the powers of president. He did mostly what he wanted. This power continued through Democratic President Martin Van Buren’s term.
However, The Whig Party scaled back that power after holding the presidency for two terms following- Presidents Jackson and Van Buren terms.
We are NOT alone..!!
This political fighting has been going on since the beginning, and will continue way past our generation.
But back to 1800’s- Many presidents felt like 19th-century New York politician William “Boss” Tweed, who said:
“Stop them damn pictures…. I don’t care much about what the papers write about me. My constituents can’t read. But, damn it, they can see pictures.”
Moderately confused.?
Every election cycle, we always have a group of people who wish that there was a third party to vote for.
Looking back through American history, you can see that it has been (mostly) Democrat vs. Republican- since 1853 and President Franklin Pierce. (President – 14)
That’s a hell of a long time..!!
I too, found myself in the position of wanting a third party once and I tell this story often.
The year was 1988. Presidential candidate Bush (41) said he would never raise taxes.
However as president, he DID raise taxes.
Many of us conservatives, (millions of us in fact) decided we could not support Bush for his reelection run in 1992. Many of us had reservations about an agreement with Canada and Mexico, called- NAFTA. Both Bush and Clinton were for this plan.
So millions of us conservatives broke with the republican party and voted for Ross Perot.
The election results were as follows-
Ross Perot- 18.9% (19.7 million votes)
George Bush- 37.7% (39.1 million votes)
Bill Clinton- 43% (44.9 million votes)
Our 1992 vote for Ross Perot, allowed democrat Bill Clinton to win the election.
The message we conservatives sent in 1992 didn’t really help us!
Republicans gave us Newt Gingrich and “contract with America.” However, President Clinton can take credit on much that was accomplished in the 90’s. And in 2000, republicans gave us George W. Bush. A president who has done a FINE job on the War on terrorism. However, we have been left defending President Bush and his federal spending, slow response on natural disasters, and the economy.
Any message we send back in 1992, is lost in history and means very little today.
Which leads us to the newest:
Angry Republic Video Broadcast:
“Moderately Confused”
(This is another- Video SHORTY, and will NOT take up your whole day trying to play it.)
Written by AR Babonie for The Angry Republic
(Also note) Condolences go out to Sen. Joe Biden and his loss.
Having lost both of my parents, I know how tough that is. You always remember the last things you said and wish you could have done more.
Time heals the sorrow. Still, you feel as if you have walked through a doorway and the door slammed shut behind you. You can never go back.
However, (as selfish as it sounds) you now have more time to care for those who are in your life today..!!
(Which is what your parents would want you to do.)
(By the title, you might think I am going to launch into an attack on Sen. Barack Obama.)
I wish I was..!!
Sen. John McCain’s foray into a government “buyout” of bad home owner mortgages scares the crap out of me.
Where did this plan come from..??
It was just thrown out there last night..??
The comments I am seeing are from people who are angry. (And they have a RIGHT to be angry.)
“..I pay on my mortgage. I have never missed a payment. The value of my house went down, like everyone else. But I am stuck paying a higher mortgage, while people who didn’t cut back on personal spending and try to pay their mortgage- will get a taxpayer bailout from the government, with McCain’s new plan…”
This is exactly what we conservatives worried about with a “McCain Presidency.”
That he would try and “cross the aisle”, offer MORE socialistic programs, and we would watch conservative principals slip away- again.
I need to say two things, at this point
:
I do not have a mortgage. My property is paid for. This is NOT sour grapes for me, personally. However, I have eyes and can see the problems with this government buyout of “troubled home loans.”
Also, I am not voting for Obama. I will vote for McCain.
I realize that this is the worst possible time to pick at John McCain, and we need not give ammunition to TEAM Obama.
But, if not now- when..??
Mr. McCain…
We conservative voters do not want Barack Obama..!!
And we sure as hell do not want “Obama lite.”
(Ok, I guess I am trying to speak for conservatives and I probably shouldn’t.)
I believe people are pissed off about rich financial companies getting tax bailouts and then throwing huge “spa” parties in LA that cost $400,000 bucks. It is sickening.
I believe McCain’s new plan to buyout troubled home loans- REWARDS those who screwed up. And punishes people who do the right thing and pay their bills.
If John McCain felt he had to prove who was the “bigger Santa Claus”, by giving out tax money; we will see if the polls show if this trick was a winner.
But I believe McCain needed to attack Obama on his judgement. By bringing up William Ayers, Reverend Wright, and Rezko.
McCain needed to push the fact that Obama wants to spend tax money in a bad economy. Obama wants to raise taxes.
We just didn’t see this.
Not last night.
I do not believe John McCain will slip much in the polls this week. He can correct his approach for next weeks debate.
I just do not believe McCain can win this election by being “Obama lite.”
He MUST offer the voter an alternative to Barack Obama.
Today, we have many celebrities voicing their opinion on the 2008 election. Most seem to lean more for the liberal candidates.
Madonna has recently entered the campaign by stating that Sarah Palin is not welcome at her (Madonna’s) concerts. Madonna now allows Obama staffers to hand out fliers in front of her concerts.
Lindsay Lohan has given her opinion of Sarah Palin.
Is this something new in America..??
Famous people speaking out about politics..??
Somewhat, but not really.
In the heyday of TV and Radio, big Hollywood studios signed contracts with stars that restricted what the “star” could do in public.
For example, they had to dress respectable and NEVER talk about religion and politics in public.
WHY..??
Simple- studios realized that if a “star” talked about backing a particular political candidate, it would alienate half of the audience, which could lower box office ticket sales. Which loses money for the studio.
Today, celebrities do not have to sign contracts like that, and are free to speak out. (Which they do often, not always to their benefit.)
However, some notables DID speak out, with little concern for losing business.
Ernest Hemingway was one of those people.
The gifted writer and tortured soul was the exclamation point for the word- “Liberty!”
Hemingway lived life as he wanted.
Hemingway never went to college for journalism. Instead, he entered the career of writing at the bottom. A cub reporter for The Kansas City Star.
At the start of WW1, Hemingway tried to join the US Army, but was rejected because of poor eyesight. He joined the Red Cross as an ambulance driver, so he could be near the fighting- the Italian front.
He received wounds while trying to save fallen soldiers and was given the Silver Medal of Military Valor from the Italian government.
Hemingway also fought in WW2.
After the War, Hemingway went back to writing.
I would fill several blog pages trying to tell you all of his work. Here are but a few:
1926- The sun also rises
1929- A farewell to arms
1940- For whom the bell tolls
1952- The old man and the sea
Hemingway earned the Pulitzer Prize for “The old man and the sea”, and won a Nobel Prize in Literature.
Unfortunately, Ernest Hemingway was a terrible alcoholic. He drank to excess- often. After he survived two plane crashes in Africa, which left Hemingway “somewhat” unable to continue his writing career, he took his own life at the age of 61.
During his career, Hemingway did speak out about politics. (Oddly enough, depending on what you read- Hemingway is seen as a great American who loved liberty. While at the same time being a communistic sympathizer..??)
But here are a few of his beliefs:
“..A writer owes no allegiance to any government. If he is a GOOD writer, he will never like the government that he lives under..”
Hemingway said-
“…All the state has ever meant to me is unjust taxation. I believe in one thing: Liberty..”
Hemingway hated republicans in the twenties. He despised the “new deal democrats” of the thirties.
He never cared for liberals or conservatives.
The only political person Hemingway seemed to speak kindly of was a socialist named- Eugene Debs. (Hemingway didn’t like socialism- he liked Debs because the politician was in jail. But he seemed like an honest man.)
Hemingway got into a little trouble when he recited several lines from communist politicians in a favorable fashion.
This was somewhat unjust, Hemingway never wanted communism or socialism for America. He firmly believed in less government and liberty, above all.
Hemingway was never fazed by what people thought about his politics. He continued to drink like a fish and chase “loose” women for the rest of his life.
We are NOT alone.
Modern celebrities speaking out on politics…
That is nothing new for America.
(Though, I believe Ernest Hemingway may hold more intellectual weight, than say: Madonna or Lindsay Lohan.)

**************UPDATE*************
Hackergate
The son of state Rep. Mike Kernell (Democrat) has been charged by the FBI in connection with a probe into the hacking of personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin,
You might remember that David Kernell made this statement on a post at a blog sharing site:
“…I read though the (Palin’s) emails… ALL OF THEM… before I posted, and what I concluded was anticlimactic, there was nothing there, nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped, all I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor…. And pictures of her family..”
I have a post on this subject, if you are interested.
What would you do if you found out that a State Police Officer in your area was drinking beer- while on duty- in the state owned police car?
Would you call somebody..??
What would you do if you found out that this very same State Police Officer used a “taser” on his 10 year old step-son.
You would probably call authorities and report this, wouldn’t you?
This is exactly what Sarah Palin did.
In 2005, (then) Mayor Palin contacted Alaskan State Trooper Col. Julia Grimes to report these abuses.
Col. Grimes said that she couldn’t comment about the “said abuses” because a troopers privacy is protected by law.
Let’s review this info, shall we…
“A ten year old boy is the victim of a possible crime, however- the criminal’s rights are protected..??”
This is what Sarah Palin was told.
Which is what happens to many people who report a crime. (Not to mention, a crime committed by a COP.)
The Palin’s tried many times to get information on the investigation of State Trooper Mike Wooten, but were told that there may (or may not) be an on- going investigation. And the matter was confidential.
Being a small town mayor in the state of Alaska, there wasn’t much more that could be done to remove this police officer.
This wasn’t just a case of “he said, she said”.
Ohhh no..!!
The trooper in question (Mike Wooten) had been married to Sarah Palin’s sister. The Palin family had first hand knowledge of these crimes committed by Wooten AND THEY HAD WITNESSES THAT WERE READY TO TESTIFY in court.
Still…
No action was being taken on trooper Mike Wooten by the Alaskan State Police.
Why..??
As you may already know, it is dam near impossible to charge a small town cop with a crime. Even if you have witnesses ready to testify in court.
Because of the inaction of the authorities to remove Mike Wooten, he was able to continue to abuse his power as a state trooper.
Wooten continued to get drunk in his patrol car, never was punished (at that time) for using a taser on his 10 year old step- son. Officer Wooten would head out into the Alaskan wilderness and illegally shoot animals that were out of season. And, if that were not enough, Wooten would use his patrol car for personal business.
But a funny thing happened…
Small town mayor Sarah Palin- became Governor Palin.
(Does this sound like a soap opera..??)
In the mean time, the internal investigation on trooper Mike Wooten concluded- he received a slap on the wrist and was allowed to continue to police the streets of Alaska.
(Oh, don’t leave yet folks, this is the story that just keeps getting better.)
Trooper Mike Wooten filed a workers compensation claim- in that, he hurt himself at work and couldn’t carry out his duties. He was just too sick to work.
So trooper Wooten was collecting taxpayer money, from the folks of Alaska, because he was too injured to patrol the Alaskan Highways.
Except, people began to see Mike Wooten buzzing around on a snowmobile.
I ask you: what would you do if you witnessed this..??
I believe that, being fine- up standing citizens, you would report this abuse of taxpayer money to the authorities.
This is exactly what some Alaskan people, including Todd Palin “First Dude” husband of Gov. Sarah Palin did.
They called up the local authorities to report that trooper Mike Wooten, who was too sick to work, was flying through town on a snowmobile.
All were told, including Todd Palin, that trooper Wooten had a doctors permission to use a snowmobile. (???)
STOP… STOP…
Hold on a minute.
I need to comprehend this.
Trooper Mike Wooten was too sick to sit behind a desk at the police office- pushing papers, and therefore needed time off to recoup. HOWEVER, it was OK for him to ride a snowmobile..??
Folks, I have a certain amount of tolerance, but this IS ABUSE.
Clearly, at the top, people were protecting trooper Mike Wooten.
(Hey, where are you going? This story ain’t over yet.)
Gov, Sarah Palin and “First Dude” Todd decided to split forces and deal with this situation. (I use the term “First Dude” only because it pisses certain people off.)
Gov. Palin would focus on doing “government business”. Todd (First Dude) Palin would continue to call, e-mail, and visit anyone who would listen to him, about this crooked state trooper Mike Wooten.
When it became clear that authorities were covering up for this crooked police officer, Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan became the prime offender. For it was Monegan who could fire Wooten.
The Palin’s, not being stupid, realized that they shouldn’t just “fire” Walt Monegan because of his inaction in dealing with the crooked state trooper Wooten. But it was very easy to release Monegan because his budget conflicted with the Palin administration. (Something that happens all the time in many states.)
Walt Monegan, not being too happy about being let go, found willing authorities to launch an investigation of his firing by Gov. Palin.
To clear things up, even Gov. Palin wanted an investigation.
The lead member of the committee to investigate Gov. Palin was Stephen Branchflower.
The investigation began like a circus, with Democratic Senator Hollis French, who was overheard by several people- saying: “..Oh yes, there will be an October surprise for John McCain and Sarah Palin…” (Gee, we wouldn’t want too TAINT this committee, would we..??
Branchflower COULD NOT prove that Gov. Palin abused her power in the firing of Monegan.
Let me say this again, because there is a lot of mis-information going around out there.
Gov. Palin was found innocent of abusing her authority to fire Walt Monegan. Palin had every right to fire her former commissioner.
(So you might be asking yourself: “..If this commission found Sarah Palin NOT GUILTY of abuse of power in the firing of Monegan, why is the left making a big deal about this..??”)
Because, in a strange twist of judgement, (which will be appealed- so don’t get too happy) the commission found Todd Palin (First Dude) guilty of trying to pressure authorities into firing trooper Wooten.
The commission never said that Sarah Palin personally applied this “pressure.” However, because Todd (First Dude) and Sarah are husband and wife, Sarah is “guilty by association.”
Guilt by association…
I have heard that term somewhere before?
Guilt by association…
Oh, yea- The left..!! Obama. That’s right.
When we talk about Barack Obama and William Ayers, there is no “guilt by association”, because we cannot hold Obama countable for anything that Ayers has done.
When we talk about Obama giving ACORN $800,000 dollars. ACORN- a voter registration group that is currently racking up hundreds of fraudulent registrations charges, and Obama- we look the other way.
Obama cannot be held accountable for that, because that would be “guilt by association.”
And if Michelle Obama says anything crazy, like: “..this is the first time in my adult life that I has been proud of America..”, well folks- you can’t hold Obama responsible for what his wife said. That would be “guilt by association.”
However, that mean- book burning, God loving, abortion hating, Sarah Palin is guilty because her husband did something.
That bastard- Todd (First Dude) Palin- tried to get a crooked police officer fired.
And for that…
Sarah Palin IS “guilty- by association.”
Folks, I have seen a lot of “stuff” in my lifetime.
I witnessed millions of Americans claim that President Clinton was “justified” in lying to a grand jury.
Bill Clinton was justified in committing a crime BECAUSE- well, he got a blowjob.
“..It’s a freaking blowjob..” they said.
“..Everyone lies about sex..” they told me.
Bill Clinton is justified in breaking the law because he got some “sweet” oral sex.
However, Sarah Palin is NOT justified because she was only trying to get a crooked cop off the streets.
She tried to get this crooked cop removed* for YEARS- she used every legal channel afforded to her, by the State of Alaska.
And what exactly was Palin’s crime..??
Did the Palin’s kill somebody..?? Nope.
Did the Palin’s grab clubs and go bust up property and burn down Wooten house..?? Nope.
Did the Palin’s go and kick Wooten’s pet dog..?? Nope.
The Palin’s believed trooper Wooten shouldn’t be on the police force, so they continued to call up people and ask that Wooten be fired.
That’s it, folks..!!
That is THE BIG crime..!!
If this is an example of a “Palin” type crime…
(Calling up people and asking that a crook cop be removed.)
I will take that crime any day over the criminal activity committed by Obama and crew. ($800,000 in cash to ACORN- from Barack Obama. Barack’s association with a terrorist, William Ayers. Barack’s association with a convicted millionaire fraud-Rezko.)
Many on the left are not so bright..!!
(Or they haven’t really thought about this.)
You may NOT want to push this “guilt by association” stuff to far, because your whole defense of Obama has been- “you cannot have guilt by association.”
Besides, if the left thinks a conservative like myself will NOT vote for Palin because she tried to get a crooked cop off the streets, you would be wrong..!!
The Palin family’s determination to remove this crooked cop, make me want to vote for Sarah even more.

Folk’s, if you only watch one video today, it should be this one.
“What is it like to be a Black Republican?”
Now, this second video is not so- MUST SEE, as the last one…
With the 2008 election, Columbus Day has come around without a fuss. You wouldn’t even know today was a holiday. (Except for the banks being closed.)
However, I was reading a story from last year about a Columbus Day parade in Denver that was disrupted by protesters who claim Columbus was responsible for the killing and displacement of thousands of native Americans.
The protesters spilled fake blood and plastic baby doll parts (???) onto the street in front of the parade route.
Protesters also claim Columbus was a slave trader, and therefore we should not celebrate his arrival into the New World. Native Americans believe that Christopher Columbus is the cause of “White Men” coming to America and destroying the land that they knew.
I am kind of partial to Columbus. I, being an American whose grandfather came from Italy, would like to hold onto this national day. Some people, when they think of Italians, they think of the Mafia, Mussolini during WW2, and pizza. (Yes, there is that whole Roman Empire“thing”, but the technology obtained from the Roman Empire is overshadowed by the brutality of the day.)
So, Columbus was one Italian man who went exploring and found America. You can see the pride I might have in that..??
OK..
Maybe Columbus wasn’t the first. Maybe the Vikings found Canada long before Columbus sailed across the Atlantic. But the Vikings didn’t keep very good records.
That would make Columbus the first person to find the New World and actually write it down and tell people about it. (Still a source of pride.) Communication skills are important..!!
Today, as some American schools add a Muslim “foot bath” and a “Ramadan day”, I would like to see this one day- Columbus Day, continue on into the future.
Native Americans
who hate Columbus claim he “started it all.” Columbus’ discovery led to thousands of “white men” coming here and taking over.
That is not necessarily true.
Columbus may never had been granted ships and supplies to make this journey if it wasn’t for one thing..
Radical Islamic Muslims were trying to take over the world.
The year was 1453, Terrorist Muslims had taken over Egypt and Constantinople. These terrorists would kill anyone who ventured from West to East. (By land or by sea) Europeans had been able to trade goods with the East for hundreds of years. But now, with radical Islam controlling the trade routes and killing those who would not convert to Islam and pay tribute, European’s were being choked off on supplies.
This is the only reason Columbus found a backer, Spain, to fund his “wacky idea” of sailing around the earth.
So if Native Americans want to blame “the cause” of Columbus sailing to America, it would be more correct to say “the cause” was radical Islam trying to take over the world and kill people who didn’t convert to Islam. This forced white men to look for a different route.
(That is, if we want to spend time pointing fingers at each other on who is responsible for the United States and Native Wars. I believe Columbus would be way down on that list.)
Native Americans believe Columbus was a slave trader, and therefore we should not celebrate his journey.
Columbus traded goods by sea, all around Europe. He may have traded slaves as well. It was a terrible thing, but it was accepted in those days. Europeans had slaves. Muslims had slaves. Even a few of the founding fathers owned slaves. The good that these people accomplished can outweigh the evil practices that were common.
Let me put it another way…
Some Native American tribes believed it was OK to sell off your daughter to another family for land and horses. This was called (a type of) Marriage, but the daughter had no say in it. It was a type of slavery. Trading a human for horses and land.
I am sure today Native Americans do not believe it is OK to sell off a daughter. I do not degrade Native Americans for taking part in a practice that was legal hundreds of years ago.
After all, who knows what activity we take part in today, that will be judged “immoral” one hundred years from now? Hopefully, that future generation will see the good that we accomplished and not dwell on our ignorance.
Which brings us back to Columbus Day…
This modern culture that we live in seems to be obsessed with digging up dirt on someone to destroy his or her image. We do it with political figures and celebrities. We have also begun this character assassination on historical figures.
Is there a real human named “Santa Claus?” There never was an actual “Lady Liberty.” None the less, we hold these icons dear.
Beyond the human
- Christopher Columbus, with all his failings, is the spirit of people who boarded wooden ships and sailed across the ocean, with only the wind for power. Defying the common belief that “it couldn’t be done..”
Columbus Day
is the celebration of exploration. Defying danger. Doing things that people believe cannot be done.
We forget sometimes, just how dangerous that journey was.
So I leave you with the words of Christopher Columbus.
The year was 1502
It was Columbus’ fourth journey to the New World. Of the 30 Spanish ships in the Governor’s fleet, 29 ships sank and over 500 men died at sea. Columbus’ ship survived. 1502 was a terrible year for hurricanes. Just a few months later, Columbus found himself in another hurricane.
Columbus wrote this passage in his journal:
“..For nine days I was as one lost, without hope of life. Eyes never beheld the sea so angry, so high, so covered with foam. The wind not only prevented our progress, but offered no opportunity to run behind any headland for shelter; hence we were forced to keep out in this bloody ocean, seething like a pot on a hot fire. Never did the sky look more terrible; for one whole day and night it blazed like a furnace, and the lightning broke with such violence that each time I wondered if it had carried off my spars and sails; the flashes came with such fury and frightfulness that we all thought that the ship would be blasted. All this time the water never ceased to fall from the sky; I do not say it rained, for it was like another deluge. The men were so worn out that they longed for death to end their dreadful suffering…”
This situation with “Joe- the plumber” should scare the pants off of many Americans.
(And, while you are sitting there with no pants on, consider this…)
The liberal left has warned us about President Bush and the “VP Dick” having too much power. With the Patriot Act and warrant- less wire taps, the left said we are all in danger of losing our freedom of speech and privacy.
Yet, I have no faces to go with the liberal left’s claim
.
Not one person that has been destroyed by the Patriot Act, who was innocent of any crime.
However, this is NOT true with the power that the left has held for many years.
The power to destroy people in the media.
“Joe- the plumber” just asked a simple question.
For asking that question, “Joe- the plumber” MUST be destroyed. (In the media.)
I know more about Joe the plumber (who has only been in the spotlight for a few days) than I know about William Ayers, Tony Rezko, or Reverend Wright; The shady characters from Obama’s past who have been around for decades.
Is this the kind of president we want to elect..??
The kind that will send 30 lawyers to Alaska, with the intent to destroy Sarah Palin, BEFORE she can even open her mouth and speak to us..??
The kind of man that will destroy a local plumber, just because he asked a simple question..??
When we study history, we learn the hard lessons from Hitler. How he rose to power. Why people followed him.
I guess we always thought that the next socialistic leader would rise up behind a wall of “brown shirt wearing” men, carrying guns.
But who would have thought that the next socialistic leader would rise up behind a political correct curtain, protected NOT by men carrying guns. Protected instead by people carrying cameras, clipboards, and microphones.
When an American citizen cannot ask a simple question to a political candidate without having his tax records publicized, marriage situation broadcast, and life put under the microscope…
Folks, this is much more dangerous than I had thought.
Sen. Barack Obama is NOT Hitler. That is not what I am saying here. Hitler believed in power by force and Obama is somewhat anti- gun. I do not believe you will ever see a team of people wearing “brown shirts” and beating Americans over the heads with clubs, in the name of Obama.
However, I have seen it with my own eyes…
TEAM Obama has verbally RAPED Sarah Palin, and now are trying destroy Joe the plumber.
No sir, Obama is not Hilter.
But they do share some common ground.
Hitler believed in fascism. He wanted the government control of big business. Hitler controlled the masses by brutal force.
Obama believes in socialism. (His comment to Joe the plumber proves that- “Spread the wealth around..”) Obama wants control of big business by regulation and high taxation. Obama controls the masses by verbal force and politically correct destruction.
Matter of fact, as I write this- the city of Toledo, Ohio is attempting to shut down Joe the plumber on a technicality. To put Joe out of work.
Joe the plumber is all but destroyed today.
Any one else want to ask Barack Obama a question about his tax plan..??
This leads me to today’s editorial:
Obama- the “special” child.
Many conservatives already know what I am about to write.
However, I have a few liberals who read my site and I am writing this for you. I want to elaborate on how “special” Barack Obama really is.
I know that you are sick to death hearing about William Ayers, Tony Rezko, and Reverend Wright.
The republicans just need to move on to things that are important because Obama has already answered these charges months ago.
For this editorial, I am going to agree with you that Obama has answered these charges. (However, we shouldn’t move on.)
I am going to say that Obama didn’t know that Tony Rezko was a crook. That Obama didn’t understand that William Ayers was a terrorist. And that Obama didn’t comprehend that Rev. Wright was teaching hatred towards White people.
For this editorial, we will assume that- Obama didn’t understand. Obama didn’t know. Obama couldn’t comprehend.
OK, (liberal left) I am right there with you. We are on the same page.
How many of you folks have held political fund-raisers for a candidate AT YOUR HOUSE..??
I assume we all VOTE.
Some of us may send money to a political campaign.
However, very few of us actually open up our home and let people, from all over, enter our house. Some do this in an attempt to raise money for a political candidate.
This would have to be a very “special” political candidate for us to do that. To cook all that food. To provide the dishes and help to serve food to hundreds, maybe a thousand people.
You would have to REALLY believe in that political candidate to do something like that..!!
That is exactly what William Ayers did for Barack Obama.
William Ayers, who earlier in his life, tried to blow up a New York City police station, the Capital Building in DC, and others…
Ayers saw something in Obama and he knew he couldn’t stand on the sidelines. William Ayers had to help Barack Obama in any way he could.
As I said earlier, we cannot blame Obama for what Ayers did.
However, Ayers- a terrorist: really felt that Obama was a “special” child.
Pipe down people, keep in mind: Obama didn’t know. Obama couldn’t comprehend. Obama didn’t understand. Besides, it was a long time ago.
Moving along..
.
How any multi- millionaires come up to you and ask if they can help you buy your new home..??
I have never had that happen to me, and I am sure it doesn’t happen to many of us.
How many- “crooked”- slum lord millionaires, (who are now sitting in prison) ask if you would like a job? How many felons ask if they can help you with your “community organization” events..??
Do you have millionaires asking if they can help you in any way..??
This happened to Obama.
Tony Rezko, who is convicted of fraud and waiting sentencing, saw something in Barack Obama and knew that he had to step on board the “O” train.
But we cannot blame Obama. Because Obama didn’t know. Obama couldn’t comprehend. Obama didn’t understand. Besides, that was a long time ago and we need not talk about it.
ACORN- a voter registration group, who is making headlines today by registering “Mickey Mouse” and dead people to vote; ACORN seemed to know that they had a friend in Barack Obama.
When ACORN needed legal advice, the lawyer they sought out was Obama. For training it’s top vote getters, ACORN wanted Obama. (And got his help.)
When ACORN needed cash, they looked to Obama. And Obama helped out- to the tune of $800,000 dollars. (Your money, by the way. Money that you sent TEAM Obama to help him win this election.)
Obama was a “special” child, and ACORN saw this.
But we cannot blame Obama. Because Obama didn’t know. Obama couldn’t comprehend. Obama didn’t understand. Besides, this was a long time ago… (Whoops, sorry. This is happening today.)
Moving along-
A man like Reverend Wright personally knows hundreds of people. He could have been preaching to thousands on any given Sunday.
Rev. Wright taught his “Bible thumping” followers that America made the AIDS virus to kill Black people. And he taught “the faithful” that 9/11 happened because “America’s chickens came home to roost..”
Out of the hundreds of people that Rv. Wright comes in contact with, he saw something in Barack Obama. Wright knew Obama was a “special” child.
Wright took Obama under his wing. Converting Obama from the Muslim faith to Christianity. Marrying Michelle and Barack, and baptizing their two children. Helping Obama write his first book.
However, we cannot blame Barack Obama because Obama didn’t know. Obama couldn’t comprehend. Obama didn’t understand.
That is the defense of Barack Obama.
While groups of shady people danced in and out of Obama’s life:
William Ayers- A man who wanted to blow up US landmarks; Ayers saw something “special” in Obama.
Tony Rezko- a millionaire who sits in prison, convicted of fraud; saw something “special” in Obama.
Reverend Wright- who was teaching hatred of the White people, when Wright should have been teaching the Bible and forgiveness; he saw something “special” in Obama.
ACORN- a voter registration group that is under investigation in at least 11 states for voter registration fraud, always knew they could count on Obama.
When Barack Obama meets a shady person in his life, he sometimes get involved with this crooked person. He doesn’t turn his back. He doesn’t walk away. Instead, Obama seems to wait until you find out about the connection.
Then, Obama claims that he didn’t know. He didn’t understand. He didn’t comprehend.
That’s not leadership, people. That is NOT new.
(That is 8 more years of what we already had. A man who didn’t know, couldn’t comprehend, and didn’t understand.)
I cannot vote for a person who: doesn’t know evil when he sees it.
A man who cannot comprehend fraud when it looks him in the eyes. (And buys the property next door to him.)
I cannot vote for a person who doesn’t respect the American way: freedom from a huge government. Liberty from high taxation. Freedom of speech.
Just ask Joe the plumber what it is like to quiz “The Great” Barack Obama on his policies.
And you are about to give Barack Obama the most important job in America.
Written by AR Babonie for The Angry Republic
Funny, is funny. I like funny..!!
If you haven’t had a chance to see John McCain and Barack Obama give their comedy speeches at Thursday’s benefit dinner in NY City, you should check them out.
With all this political fighting between the two parties, it was refreshing to watch Barack and McCain poke fun at themselves and each other.
(You mean that they are going to test Obama again..??)
Democratic VP pick: Sen. Joe Biden said:
“..Mark my words..”
OK..
Let me get my blue magic marker out and I will “mark Biden’s words”.
(Joe Biden said-)
“..It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did (Young) John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy…”
Joe Biden went on to say that we shouldn’t worry because Barack Obama has metal in his backside.
(Or something like that..??)
Have you noticed that Joe (3 letter word: J-O-B-S) Biden is no where to be found today..??
Somebody please tell me if Joe Biden is really on Obama’s side? Because I am not sure if Obama REALLY wants to talk about “security” and terrorism..??
But I submit to you that Obama has already been tested…
And he failed all three times.
Test- (one)
Russia invades Georgia
Sen. Barack Obama took 3 days to figure out what his opinion on the matter was. At the time, Obama had 300 foreign consultants. (Remember, he had just done his “world tour.”)
Why the hell would it take 3 days..??
On day one- Obama claimed both sides needed to chill out. Cool down. “Da big freeze.”
On day two- Obama said Russia probably shouldn’t have done this. However, both sides needed a refreshing beverage called: “ice cold.”
On day three- Obama said that Russia was wrong and they should leave Georgia. (A position that McCain had reached 3 days earlier, the moment that McCain had heard about the invasion.)
Obama failed this test very badly. In today’s modern warfare, one day can be an eternity. Obama took 3 days.
Test- (two)
The American economy falls into the toilet;
Obama stays out on the campaign trail and tells Washington DC- “..Call me. If you need me to talk, or say some words, or stuff like that, give me a call..”
McCain, dropped his presidential campaign and headed to DC, to see if he could help. (Obama, by the way, ended up going to DC shortly after McCain arrived. Even though Obama said that he wasn’t.)
Test- (three)
When American troops win, admit it.
Obama, still- cannot admit that the surge in Iraq solved many of the problems in that country.
As (the republicans favorite democrat) Joe Biden says- “America’s enemies (are watching) and they are going to TEST Obama..”
Obama’s failure to admit a success, shows the enemy how weak he is.
Would General Patton overlook a winning battle strategy..??
Would George Washington “tone down” the cries of victory from his men..??
When the American military wins a battle, you must drop your stupid political ideology and give those fighting men and women credit..!!
Barack Obama has shown that he is a great campaigner.
However, he has never shown that he could be a great president.
Sen. Joe Biden has stated that the enemies of America WILL TEST Obama.
At age 71, John McCain is FAR too old to run for the office of president.
What if McCain’s mind isn’t sharp..??
McCain would have to make all kinds of serious executive decisions.
And what if he dies..??
We just cannot have this..!!
However, I see nothing wrong with the 76 year old Ted Kennedy, lying in a hospital bed with a brain tumor, recovering from dangerous brain cancer surgery; Writing our national health care system plan.
See, health care is something that Kennedy calls his “life work.”
We all know that McCain has never talked about being president before..!! This was just a whim..! Not anything that McCain has given serious thought about before.
Besides, brain cancer isn’t going to effect a person’s thoughts.
Yes, I can see the irony in my acceptance of a 76 year old man, who has a brain tumor, writing the national health care plan. Yet, not trusting a 71 year old man, who’s medical records show is healthy, with the same responsibility.
Let me explain it this way: age 76 is a time of great wisdom, filled with hard lesson taught from life. Kennedy is a hero.
However; age 71 is just plan OLD. McCain cannot be trusted. He should be tossed aside and not listened to.
Besides, National Health Care is a small thing, like Social Security and Welfare. You rarely hear about those others two government programs and National Health Care will be around for all eternity. It’s no big deal..!!
However, a president John McCain will be around for 4 years. We cannot have that..!!
There is no other way around it:
The healthy 71 year old John McCain is way too old to be involved in government decisions.
But the 76 year old, brain cancer survivor Ted Kennedy is just the right age to make important government decisions.
Just face it folks…
Republicans have no respect..!!
It is terrible how these republicans tear down people.
While we are on the subject, I think it is terrible how people called Michelle Obama “mean.”
Can you believe that people actually said that Michelle Obama wasn’t “proud” of her country..??
Just because Michelle said: “Today is the first day that I am proud of my country”, doesn’t mean that she wasn’t proud of her country in the past..!!
It just means that TODAY was the “first” day that she WAS proud. You are reading too much into it.
I wish people would treat these women in politics with a little more respect. They are mothers, for God’s sake. Show some respect..!!
I could see if the criticism was deserved, than maybe. There is nothing wrong with constructive criticism.
Like that Sarah Palin chick…
When I say that Sarah Palin is a stupid, ignorant, dumb bitch. I mean that in a constructive way.
These are things that Sarah Palin could change, (if she wasn’t so White and a republican.)
That is why my advice for Sarah Palin- (Quit being so stupid), is constructive.
However, the mean- terrible attacks on Michelle Obama by the mean- terrible republicans, (asking if Michelle is proud of America?) These attacks are down right dishonest.
We need to bring politics to a higher level.
Republicans have to learn respect for the individual..!! A democrat would never attack an American for using his “free speech rights.”
Democrats would never dive into someone’s past to destroy them.
Because democrats work above board. They are honest, and transparent.
It’s like this voter fraud stuff…
Republicans have the nerve to suggest that every voter have some kind of ID card. (To prove that they are American.) They claim that you need photo ID to buy beer and cigarettes so you should have photo ID to elect a person to the highest office in America.
That’s a load of crap..!!
How the hell are stupid people, the criminally insane, and illegal aliens supposed to get ID cards..?? You can’t do it. Unless you have $100 bucks and know a guy named Bubba. (He’s the one with an ACORN button on.)
Every American has the RIGHT to vote..!! Even if you are not American.
Take ACORN for example,
To date, ACORN has registered 1.2 million people to vote this year. So what if 400,000 thousand names are Disney cartoons, Dallas football players, and people who do not show up on any record of any kind, anywhere in the known universe..??
That still leaves 800,000 thousand people who had no idea this was an election year, they didn’t know where the courthouse was, and were not able to print their name- because they do not understand “words”: these folks can now take part in picking the president of the United States.
(He is the guy that lives in the White House.)
Folks, this double standard in the media is REAL..!!
There are people out there that are trying to stop Barack Obama..!!
Even though we have The New York Times, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, (maybe FOX, ever since Hillary said that Fox was “fair”, we might have them.) We have Hollywood, every journalist who is working, and every teacher who is teaching…
Still- there are people who are trying to stop Barack Obama.
They are called- republicans
.
Best I can tell, there are two republicans in the world today.
Here is their picture.
But, take heart my friends, once democrats rule the world, we can re-instate the fairness doctrine and STOP these republicans from ever having a public voice again.
(Once people have to listen to 3 hours of Al Frankin, they will never wait around for Rush Limbaugh, and that will be the end of it.)
Mark my words, there will come a day when all Americans will speak with one voice, from one idea, all thinking alike, from inside one box.
Republicans will learn to be “nicer” and not try and be so damned “different.”
Well, you have to excuse me, I have to leave…
I just heard on the news that Sen. Kennedy HAS taken over Barack Obama’s Health care plan and Nancy Pelosi is about to take over Barack Obama’s tax increase plan.
I must report in and get my new marching orders. I need someone to tell me what to think about this.
Written by AR Babonie for The Angry Republic
The Angry Republic Video Broadcast number 17
“Racist, redneck bastards from Pennsylvania”
(Please note) In no way am I trying to make fun of Sen. Ted Kennedy. I am praying for him and hoping he recovers. He has given his life to public service and should be proud.
I am, however, making fun of people who claim McCain is too old. But they have no problem with Kennedy writing important government business.
In a stunning move that shocked the news media and a baby chimpanzee in Bangkok:
Barack Obama tells Americans to: “Take the day off..”
Barack Obama tells Americans to: “Take the day off..”
That’s right..!!
Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama wants you to skip school and do not show up for work..!!
In a brilliant sign of fore-sight, Obama suggests that you tell your teacher and / or boss FIRST, before you take the day off. (Phew.. Dodged a bullet there..!!)
Many Americans do not know what it is like to have an “entire” day off, so here at The Angry Republican; we thought we would give you suggestions on how to fill this “Obama Holiday” off from work and school.
Now, we: (at The Angry Republican) are in the same boat as you: (the working Americans)- we work from January until May- JUST TO PAY THE TAXES that are owed to the government, by all of us Americans. Then, the remaining 7 months, we work to pay our bills, buy food, and buy Chinese made crap at Wal-Mart.
So what we had to do, to write this editorial, was ask people on Welfare; “what can a person do all day, when they are not at work or school..??”
So, here is that list:
Things that you can do on your- “Obama Holiday” off from work and school.
Sleep until noon.
Eat a bowl of Fruitti Flakes and go back to bed.
Call up your friends to see which one has some weed.
Go out to the mailbox and see if the Welfare check has arrived.
Trade your food stamp money, (50 cents on the dollar, of course) to someone for- “beer money.”
Go vote for Barack Obama.
Now- if you live in Ohio, you can vote for Obama more then just one time.
In Ohio, a judge (US District Judge Edmund Sargus) has ruled that you can list a “park bench” as your residence. A “refrigerator box” could also be use to get a extra Obama vote.
So now, you no longer have to prove who you are to vote for Obama..!!
Just pick a name and tell the poll worker that you live in a Citco gas station rest room. (Hugo Chavez owns that place, so you are safe.)
However, do not use crappy names like John Doe or Mary Smith. All of your fellow friends from ACORN will be using those names to vote for Obama.
You have the whole day off…
Come up with some really “cool” names that will make the poll workers laugh. (After you leave, of course.)
Here is a list of “cool” names that you can use to vote for Obama.
Jack Meoff- (home) dumpster
Sally Gaylicker- (home) cardboard box
Leena Wayback- (home) alley
Mickey Mouse- (home) trash can (note) this name might already be used?
Barry Fartenhiemer (home) under a urinal
Tina Easylay (home) not sure, some guy’s house
Barack Obama suggests that you take a day off from work and school, to beg people to vote for him.
I think this is a great idea..!!
For if Obama wins this election, and Obama taxes the hell out of small business, being out of work may become a part of your life, and you will need practice on how to fill your day.
If Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid raise taxes on folks making $40,000 or more, you will have to learn how to “do less, with less money.”
So taking a day off from work and school is a great way to practice being “broke, and out of work.”
Obama suggests that on your “Obama Holiday” off of work and school, that you should knock on peoples doors and call up strangers.
This is also a great idea..!!
It will prepare you for all the job interviews that you will have to make, when Barack Obama, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi raise taxes on small business- in a bad economy.
Really, when it is all said and done, I have no problem with liberals and democrats taking a day off of work and school to honor Barack Obama. After all, Barack is the liberal’s great leader; the “chosen one” and the least that liberals could do is have a day to honor their “most highest.”
So, democrats, take that day off and honor your comrade in this struggle.
We conservatives will keep the company (and the country) running without you.
If I could, I would take the day off with you.
But I can not.
With my job, there is only a couple of people who could fill in for me, and it would be terribly unfair to burden these people for the “Obama Holiday” off from work.
However, liberals- you go ahead and have your “Obama Holiday.”
Go ahead and call up people and beg them to vote for Obama.
Knock on as many doors as you can and plead for anyone to vote for Obama.
Don’t give a second thought about the country, while you are “begging” for Obama.
We conservatives will keep it running.
Besides, “begging” is something that you will need to learn how to do, if Obama is elected.
Before you walk into that voting booth and pull the lever for Barack Obama, consider this:
Voting booths no longer have “levers.” What the hell are you grabbing and pulling..??
Obama said that he was going to raise taxes on “those rich people,” Obama said that YOU have nothing to worry about, because Obama said that people who make less than $300,000 will not have taxes raised.
However, during the debates, Obama lowered that figure to $250,000.
Obama lowered it again recently, to $200,000.
But we are not finished…
VP Joe Biden lowered the figure to $150,000 per year, and Gov. Bill Richardson lowered it even more to $120,000. (Of course, you have heard all about this.)
OK, you might say that Biden and Richardson have no authority to lower Obama’s figures.
Barack Obama only lowered the figure by $100,000 bucks. Biden and Richardson have no power to lower it $80,000 more.
However, Obama may not be able to stop it.
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have said that they want to raise taxes on EVERYONE who makes $42,000 or more, and with Reid and Pelosi holding a two / thirds majority of government power, can Obama stop this?
Remember, Obama has voted to raise taxes on people making $42,000 in the past. (If we want to use a persons past record..??)
Your taxes will be raised with a president Obama. That is a fact.
Today, with sky high taxes, the average American works from January until April- just to pay their taxes.
In other words, when you go to work; the first 3 hours that you work, you never receive that money. The first 3 hours of an 8 hour day of work is paid to the government in the form of taxes. (Sales taxes, payroll, property taxes, SS taxes, State, Local taxes, etc..)
Who the hell would vote for higher taxes..??
Barack Obama’s response to the higher tax argument has been: “Well, it is time to pitch in. We cannot make ’selfishness’ a virtue.”
“Selfishness a virtue”…??
Calling a person who fights for lower taxes- “selfish”, is slapping the founding fathers in the face.
Today, you are taxed at a HIGHER rate, than the colonist were taxed, when they started the revolution against the British.
Never, never, ever- vote for higher taxes..!!
The answer is to spend less.
Who has a record of “spending less”..??
John McCain who served for decades fighting earmarks? Or Barack Obama who is outspending McCain in this presidential race by two to one.
Obama- who spent $700,000 bucks on staging, sound, and lighting for his appearance in Germany? Obama- who spent a million dollars to have Greek Columns during his convention?
Let’s face it, Obama looks good and he can make a great speech…
But, raising taxes in a bad economy is a very stupid idea.
Before you walk into that voting booth and vote for Barack Obama, consider this:
There are no voting booths anymore. You may have entered the “broom closet.” Turn around and ask someone “where am I”..??
For me, the scariest thing about an Obama Presidency, is the way that people forgive anything that Obama has done. People forgive anything that democrats have done, for Obama.
I’m not sure if it is a “race” thing or not?
Some people are so afraid that- because Obama is Black, they cannot say anything negative about Obama’s life, so they give it a pass.
For example: I listened for YEARS as liberal bloggers warned that the Patriot Act will destroy your privacy.
Yet, these same bloggers have no problem with an Ohio government worker using State computers to “leak” Joe the plumbers secret files.
These liberal bloggers are still around here. Where is the outrage..??
“This was a rouge Ohio worker, it had nothing to do with Obama..”
Oh yes it does..!!
This was a democrat, who happened to work for the Ohio government, who thought they could help out Obama by showing that Joe the plumber (may) not be sincere.
This is my point..!!
It is what people are willing to (cover up) and over look- in the name of Obama.
The “hacker” who got into Sarah Palin’s e-mail account is another example:
“It was just some stupid kid who was doing the hacker thing, it had nothing to do with Obama..”
It has EVERYTHING to do with Obama..!!
It is another example of what people are willing to do, for Obama.
But worse yet…
It is an example of a large population of Americans that are willing to drop their morals, pretend that they do not care, in order to get Barack Obama elected.
Need I even mention ACORN, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Reverend Wright and the likes..??
In my life, I have never seen a cover- up that is this HUGE. Millions of Americans that are willing to say: “Obama has nothing to do with this stuff..”
Obama has EVERYTHING to do with it, because people are doing this stuff in his name.
Before you hop on the Obama train, consider this:
Obama doesn’t have a train. He has jets and busses.
If you are on some kind of train, you may want to get off at the next stop.
I was listening to Rush Limbaugh and he had a tape of Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose. In this tape; Brokaw and Rose talk about how they “do not know much about Barack Obama.” Each claim they have read Obama’s books, and yet- they are not sure where Obama stands on foreign policy. Brokaw and Rose conclude that they just do not “know” enough about Obama.
How can two people in the media, (who we charge with the duty of finding out information) claim they do not know enough about a possible president, and yet plan to vote for him anyway..??
Hey, everyone likes a great mystery. The best thrillers never reveal everything about the main actors until the end of the story.
If we were writing a book, Barack Obama would make an interesting study.
However, is this any way to pick a president..??
When veteran Newsman Tom Brokaw admits that he “doesn’t know enough about Obama”, this worries me.
Does anyone really know Barack Obama..??
We cannot question his past relations because some are in jail, others will not talk to the press.
We cannot question Obama’s family because many are in such poverty that they are off- limits to the press. (Some of Obama’s reletives are here in America illegally.)
Who can Tom Brokaw interview to find out “who Obama really is..??”
Willaim Ayers..??
Local politicians in Chicago..?? (Some are in jail or waiting on trials.)
Reverend Wright..?? (He isn’t talking.)
Who can we ask..??
Obama isn’t even talking about his past.
If you ask him a question about his past, you will be thrown off his plane, or banished from future interviews. (Or worse yet, investigated by government workers, like Joe the plumber.)
I really hope people will THINK before voting this time.
We just cannot raise taxes on ANYONE in this economy. Higher taxes will cause companies to lay off workers and raise the price of goods.
We are so close to winning the War in Iraq. October was the most peaceful month in the Iraq War and the end is near. This is not the time to advertise that you are leaving Iraq, like Obama would. You must quietly pull some troops out while maintaining this peace.
Face it, Barack Obama will run again in four years. He has said so. Maybe the four years off will give Obama time to redefine his policies and tell Tom Brokaw (and all of us) who he really is.
For the time we live in today, John McCain is the right choice. He has the military experience to deal with the wars we are involved in. The experience to deal with future threats. (And our enemies understand that.)
John McCain understands that raising taxes on anyone right now is a bad idea. (Obama doesn’t understand this.)
Furthermore, John McCain understands that the answer is to lower government spending.
Obama wants to add a trillion dollars of new spending. Obama claims he can find that money by cutting other spending.
Ask Obama what he plans on cutting to find a trillion dollars..??
(Maybe you will have better luck asking Obama?)
Because anyone else who asks Obama about his tax plan, gets thrown off Obama’s plane. Or worse yet, get his personal records broadcast all over the media.
He is going to fix everything that is wrong in your life.
If your backside is hurting you, or you are not sure how to pay your bills, Obama is going to help you..!!
Except, if you are related to Obama. Then you are screwed
.
Obama’s poor aunt: Zeituni Onyango, is getting no help from her nephew- Barack Obama.
In a cold, non-personal fashion, Obama made the statement that the authorities should do what is necessary: (Ship her out of the US.)
The only thing this poor old woman did was donate $260 bucks to Obama’s campaign. (Oh, and she would like to be an American.)
You would think that a multi- millionaire like Obama could do something for his aunt? Maybe get her a little house in Canada until her US situation could be resolved..??
But I digress…
This shouldn’t concern you, because Obama said he was going to help you.
And, you are the most important thing.
Poor actress Jane Fonda is a “bundle of nerves.” She couldn’t sleep at all and is crying all last night. She said that her “back” is ailing.
I believe that Obama can help Jane Fonda’s backside..!!
“Fear of flying” author- Erica Jong is also having “backside” problems. Erica said this:
“My back is suffering from spasms, so much so that I had to see an acupuncturist and get prescriptions for Valium.”
Erica has backside problems and went on to say:
“If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it’s not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets.”
“Bush has transformed America into a police state, from torture to the imprisonment of reporters (sic), to the Patriot Act.”
This sounds like scary stuff..!!
Two famous celebrities are having problems with their backsides.
But you need not worry about this. Obama will fix their backsides.
95% of you will get help from Obama. He will tax the hell out of your employer and take that money and give it to you. You can expect that money to arrive in your mailbox any day.
Except, of course, if you are Obama’s brother.
If you are Obama’s brother, you must live in a shack and survive on a dollar a month.
How will Obama’s brother spend his dollar this month? Maybe he could buy a potato..??
(I sort of remember Obama saying something like: “We are our brother’s keepers.”)
Maybe he wasn’t speaking about HIS brother?
But you need not worry about this, because Obama said he would help you. If your backside is hurting, Obama will fix it.
And you are the most important thing in the world..!!
We MUST make sure that you are OK.
Barack Obama’s brother will be fine. He has survived on a dollar a month for quite a while now, so what is a little longer?
This doesn’t concern you because you are not related to Obama. Barack doesn’t know you at all, and he is going to help you.
Obama will help you just the way that he helped all those people in Chicago. They are much better off today. Chicago has to be one of the TOP cities in America after Obama fixed everything.
(I wouldn’t check that, if I were you.)
But if you want to check out where Obama’s Chicago stands, click here-
Chicago doesn’t fall into the Top 150 American cities with job growth, wage, salary, and technology growth.
Hell, Pittsburgh does, New Orleans does, LA, Miami, Dallas, New York- all are in the Top 150. But Obama’s Chicago is no where to be found in the Top 150.
OK- so maybe Obama, with his community organization, did nothing for Chicago. But maybe he will fix your community?
Besides, you do not live in Chicago, so you shouldn’t worry. Obama is going to help you. (He said so..!!)
Barack Obama said that he will help America’s energy problem. He will find ways to get us off of foreign oil.
Obama has a plan…
Obama said he will bankrupt American coal producers by taxing them with a HUGE “greenhouse gas” penalty. So BIG that they will go bankrupt. Since 45% of American homes receive electricity by way of coal burning power plants, half of America will be left with no power. Or really, really expensive electric bills.
This will help us get off of foreign oil because…
(Well, I’m not really sure how it will help..??)
But you need not worry about that because you do not live in a state that uses coal for power. You do not have family members who work for the coal industry.
And most important, you are not related to Obama, and you do not live in Obama’s Chicago.
So in conclusion…
Obama is going to help you out.
He will fix everything that is wrong in your life. Because you are the most important thing in this world.
Provided, of course, that you are NOT related to Obama, (those poor bastards get nothing.) Also, you cannot live in a state that uses coal, you will be screwed. And if you own a business, you are in trouble. And you cannot live in any city that Obama tried to help in the past.
However, you should have nothing to worry about because Obama said he will help you.
Obama will fix everything in your life.
Obama said so..!!

(PS)- I have not been blogging much in recent days because my state of Pennsylvania is so close to a McCain victory, I am personally trying to talk to as many undecided PA voters as I can. I think I have a few folks voting for McCain.
It’s not hard to do, here in PA. From Obama’s HUGE tax on coal, Obama and Murtha calling people in Pennsylvania “bitter”, rednecks, racists, and such- well, it isn’t hard to convince people that Obama doesn’t care about this state.
I truly believe my state of Pennsylvania will vote for McCain.
I have been reading your blogs and every conservative blogger is doing a GREAT job of doing what the media is not:
Showing that Barack Obama isn’t what he claims to be.
Some people love crack so much that they want to show other people that they, indeed: have crack.
President “elect” Barack Obama doesn’t seem to mind “crack.”
If fact, Barack Obama wants to change the law, once he is in charge, which would allow people to show off their “crack.”
Of course, we are talking about- “Ass Crack.”
The State of Florida is famous for adopting a “Saggy Pants” law which gives fines, or even arrests; someone who’s pants hang too low off their waste. Other cities and states have followed suit with Florida in adopting a “saggy pants” law.
In an interview, Barack Obama claims that these laws are a waste of time and he doesn’t plan on creating a “department of Homeland fashion police.”
This is what Barack Obama had to say:
“Here is my attitude: I think people passing a law against people wearing sagging pants is a waste of time. We should be focused on creating jobs, improving our schools, health care, dealing with the war in Iraq, and anybody, any public official, that is worrying about sagging pants probably needs to spend some time focusing on real problems out there. Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants. You are walking by your mother, your grandmother, your underwear is showing. What’s wrong with that? Come on. There are some issues that we face, that you don’t have to pass a law, but that doesn’t mean folks can’t have some sense and some respect for other people and, you know, some people might not want to see your underwear – I’m one of them.”
You can also, at this site, find some very strange pictures of people and their “Crack.”
(Not recommended for young children and people who puke easy.)
Clinton in the “House?”
It looks as though Hillary Clinton is being considered for a cabinet position in Obama’s administration- Secretary of State?
Of the 40 some cabinet positions filled so far, 31 are former Clinton staffers. Which has conservatives and some democrats asking: “Where is the CHANGE..??”
However, Obama supporters claim that Barack- himself, is the change. You must have experienced people on your staff.
How do you feel about Hillary joining Obama?
“Blacklists”- in a FREE country..??
If you thought that Blacklists were a thing of the past, (1940’s and 50’s) you would be wrong.
What was a tool of the past to find out who was a communist, today is being used to find out who wants to stop gay marriage. Anyone who has helped or given donations to stop gay marriage; appear on this list and can be protested by supporters of gay rights.
As one recent American immigrant comments, in the video below-
“Blacklists are something done in communistic countries. They should not be found in America.”
Even some supporters of gay marriage are taken back by these blacklists.
President Elect Barack Obama is being advised by the CIA and British Intellagence to watch out for an early terrorist attack during his first fews months in office.
It is good to warn Obama now, because Barack failed to realize his first encounter with a terrorist.
After the BIG three US auto makers ran into a little trouble with their bailouts, Citi Bank becomes the next in line to suck the blood of the tax payers.
Here at “The Angry Republican”, we wanted to get inside the minds of these companies, and what it takes to ask congress for YOUR tax money.
So, here is one of the bigger share holders of Citi Bank, a reletively unknown company called:
Corporate Receivers of Amalgamated Poisonous Petroleum.
C.R.A.P.P. -is what they like to be called.
Their motto is:
”Helping you lurch forward, while stepping into a big pile of the future..!!”
Here is what CRAPP had to say about the CITI Bank bailout:
We prefer to NOT call it a “bailout.”
We prefer the term- “Happy Check.”
See, without this “happy check”, tons of people will be laid off. Which means they would spend one year on unemployment, where they would be paid cash- money to hunt, spend time with their families, fish, play golf, and look for a job.
This is a SAD prospect for any American..!!
However, with this “happy check” (bailout), people can feel confidant that they STILL have a job with a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy. A company that could collapse any day.
Plus, with this happy check; none of us top CEO people will have to leave, or even lower our salary.
This “happy check” from you tax payers is the RIGHT solution. And best of all, you will never feel any of the pain. (Because your children and grandchildren will actually pay all this money back. By then, you will be taking a permanent dirt nap.)
Michael Jackson
The “Cat” is out of the bag.
Could this be the new FACE of Islam..??
Michael Jackson is following in the footsteps of another famous (and reclusive) singing star.
Jackson is converting to Islam, just as Yousef Islam did a few years ago. (Cat Stevens)
Maybe what Michael Jackson needs right now is religion? (Any religion.) I have always worried that Jackson was heading for self- destruction, and possible suicide. Religion could possible straighten Jackson out? (No pun intended.)
But if Michael Jackson is looking for a comeback in popular music, Islam might not be his best choice.
(They shy away from crotch grabbing, sexy women, and most everything that popular culture stands for.)
Just look at the life of Cat Stevens before and after Islam:
1970’s era Cat Stevens
Modern Yousef Islam (Cat Stevens)
Uuuumm… Though I fight for religion in my blog because I feel people need to have faith. And, of course, America stands for religious freedom.
The transformation of Cat Stevens; a cutting edge song writer who could describe human emotions better than most, into a “mouth piece” for an Islam leader…
I’m sorry, it is just a waste of talent. (Leave politics to the politicians.) God, (of any religion) gives certain people great gifts. Cat Stevens has a gift and I miss it.
Today, Yousef Islam is very popular amongst Islamic African cultures and maybe that is Michael Jackson’s calling.
Who the hell am I to denounce that calling..??
Just some little blog writer in America that misses the old Cat Stevens.
Take the Al Frankin challenge
Al Frankin believes that this voter wanted to vote for him in the Minnesota Senate race.
The Frankin team believes that the voter underlined his “correct” choice.
After descending 30 stairs down into the earth below, you walk through a very long tunnel. On both sides of you are empty store front windows, businesses- that went out of business years ago.
On the left of you, a woman is lying on the ground and is partially blanketed with a newspaper. She yells out at the crowd: “Yea, I’m F**ked up. But crack is what f**ked me up. You folks are REALLY f**ked up. You can’t blame crack..”
Other than a quick glance or a chuckle, people pass by this woman without paying her much attention.
As you near the hub of NY Cities Penn Station, you hear several people in front of you say: “Oh crap..!!”
“Oh crap” is never a good thing to hear. It means something has gone terribly wrong.
Of the two subway ticket machines, one is out of order and the other has a very long line. You look at your watch: “We could make it if this line moves quickly, but it is going to be close..”
The line isn’t moving quickly..!!
At the front of the line is a group of tourists who do not speak English and they are having trouble with the ticket machine. Some locals try to help these people but it is taking valuable time. People are offering money to these foreigners, who are digging through their pockets for change.
Just then, you hear gunshots.
Some people around you instinctively hit the deck. Gentlemen in business suits are hugging the ground. It takes you several seconds to realize what is happening. As you turn you can plainly see 4 men with automatic weapons, (AK-47’s pop into your mind.) These men are spraying the crowd with bullets. It is completely and effectively random. They are just turning and shooting everyone in sight.
You lunge to the ground.
“Why would a person do this..??”
Your mind clicks into defensive mode: “I have no weapons.”
Your only defense is to lay on the ground and pretend that you are dead.
The shooting stops.
In the background you can hear a woman screaming: “Why.. Why..”
That is the question that everyone is asking.
Why..??
Just hours before a full scale assault by terrorists on Mumbai, India; the American FBI and Homeland Security issued an alert that “something” could happen in New York City, (Penn Station in particular) and security was tightened up in the NY subway system.
Luckily for us, this attack isn’t taking place on American soil. (As I illustrated in the story above.)
But, that is no comfort to the people of India who are under assault as I write this.
These terrorists were targeting places that “Western travelers” frequent: restaurants and hotels.
At the Taj Hotel, the terrorists took hostage anyone with an American or British passport.
Why..??
Simple.
When these terrorists attack only Indian people, it makes news in India and Pakistan, but not much further.
However, by targeting American and British tourists, it becomes international and makes WORLD News.
And this is what these terrorists were looking for: World Attention.
(They seem to be getting world attention. CNN covered this story all night. The BBC is completely focused on it.)
With about 10 different- “timed” attacks, terrorists attacked a Mumbai police station, a railroad station, several restaurants, a hospital (that is sick: attacking a hospital??) And several hotels including the century old Taj Hotel. (Which is on fire at the moment.)
At the time of writing this- (10 am, Thursday) 125 people have been killed. 327 injured (including 3 Americans.)
Some are claiming that this ISN’T the work of al Qaeda because of the way it was carried out: guns and grenades, no suicide bombers. Some claim that this is a product of the ongoing fight between Pakistan and India. (Possibly the India Mujahideen.)
However, al Qaeda does change its tactics. All of the terrorists on this attack knew they would not survive. In a sense, these were suicide attacks. And the attacks were aimed at Western Tourists in the heart of India’s financial district.
This attack does remind a person of the assault on Western targets in Bali (2002) when al Qaeda blew up several restaurants and clubs. Lets face it, al Qaeda would benefit from having the feud elevated between Pakistan and India. (And we all know that al Qaeda and the Taliban have a stronghold in Pakistan.
It’s too early for me to say that it was al Qaeda who masterminded this assault on Mumbai, India. But I wouldn’t rule it out.
Remember: India recently blew up a pirate ship off the coast of Somalia. Radical Islam could be retaliating for that. If that is the case, then anything is possible.
India has captured several of these terrorists and we should learn more about: “Deccan Mujahideen,” the group claiming responsibility for this attack on India.
On this Thanksgiving, I am very thankful that my opening story- (Terrorists attack Penn Station) DIDN’T take place here on American soil. (But unfortunately, it did happened somewhere: India.)
If I had a Thanksgiving wish, it would be that other nations joined with Britain and America and helped round up these terrorists and end this modern “Holy jihad War.”
Because these terrorists are not going away on their own.
Pretending that terrorism isn’t real, is not a fix to this problem.
With one person trampled to death and a gun fight breaking out during “Black Friday- 2008″, retailers may want to re-think the “dash and grab” policy.
(Or congress might do it for them.)
This “first come, first served” style of having shoppers line up in the middle of the night and wait for the doors to open, to be one of 15 people to get a great price on a product- is deadly.
This practice reminds me of a problem we had in the 70’s at rock concerts; it was called “festival seating.” All tickets were the same price and when the doors opened, people rushed to the front of the stage for the BEST seats.
This practice also became deadly and was banned.
Retailers need to think about the safety of the customers. (Which, usually they do in the design of their stores.) But for this one day a year, it devolves into “Lord of the flies.”
There should be other ways of offering selective deals to a few, (which do not include stepping over- or- ON other humans to get that bargain.)
A lottery, a hide a seek.. Anything- besides this dash and grab system that they currently have.
Far be it for me to try and shutdown a tradition.
Though, I do not take part in this Holiday ritual, I do take part in another holiday offering: “The last minute dash and grab whatever is left” style of shopping. (Practiced by guys, and some lazy women.) We do not usually KILL each other during this event. Mostly, because we do not want to be there in the first place, and we have given up on getting “the greatest gift ever.”
However, I do have friends who love to plan out a “Black Friday” shopping trip. (Yes, they are excited to set the alarm for the wee hours of the morning (or night). And they return with some great deals. So I can understand the excitement of a Black Friday. (After all- I fish, so I am familiar with getting up early. Finding just the right spot and catching the elusive “big fish.”)
However, there has to be a better way than the system that we currently have..??
Bad day for Pirates
Thank God someone is actually going to try and stop the Somali Pirates. (Instead of waiting for America to do it.)
How did the CEO of CITI Group arrive at the Capital asking for his companies bailout..??
Did he take a private jet..??
Did he even show up at all..??
Did the CEO of CITI Group just “phone in” his request for Bailout money..??
How about Fanny Mae..??
How did they show up for their bailout cash? What is their new business plan..??
Why is congress “sticking it to” the big three auto makers?
Why do I know that GM, Ford, and Chrysler flew private jets to the capital, and that they had no “fix” planned out for their companies restructure? Yet, I know nothing about the banks and their new plans to “fix” their problems?
Hey, I got no answers here, I’m just ranting into the wind.
Why is congress giving the US auto makers a hard time. But they seem to throw cash at just about any bank that needs help.
And why has the news media (yes, even Fox) been so hard on the auto makers, but did little reporting on CITI Group when they got their bailout last week?
If you think the Big three auto makers do NOT need a bailout, you are in “good” company.
(Hint) Moore wants the auto makers to fail so that they retool and built small metal boxes with wheels. Dangerous little cars that also can be used as a coffin. (NOTE- embalming sold separately from the cars. Death flowers NOT included.)
Daddy Dangerous
Barack Obama has become that father figure who promises to take you fishing this weekend.
But when the weekend arrives and you have all your fishing equipment packed and ready…
“Daddy Dangerous”- Barack Obama never shows up.
BIG “Mommy Media” tells you that “Daddy Dangerous” is a busy man, and someday he will keep his promise. “Mommy Media” explains that things have changed. (Since 4 weeks ago..??) And Obama can no longer do the things he promised to all his voters:
End the war in Iraq. (By keeping Gates in charge and vowing to follow the military’s advice.)
Obama will NO LONGER tax BIG oil. (Like he said he would when you elected him.)
President Obama said he didn’t see any controversy in the fact that he did not issue a formal public statement upon Jackson’s death, and said he was unaware of any dissatisfaction in the black community with Obama’s very late response.
President Obama said:
“I know a lot of people in the black community,” Obama said. “I haven’t heard that.”
Well, Mr. President…
I know a lot of people in the Black Community, too. I grew up with many Black friends. Should I get some kind of badge..??
Matter of fact, I know quite a few people in the White community. What the hell does that have to do WITH ANYTHING..??
A comment from a reader comes in:
MARGE1893
I voted for change (Obama); however I did not vote for this. I fell under his spell, but the spell is broken. I think our president would rather be a movie star than president. I can not wait until 2012.
Marge…
Neither can we..!!
(The worm is starting to turn.)
“…Those who do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat it…”
“…Those who DO STUDY history, are doomed to KNOW that history is repeating itself. (Because of the idiots we have running the country, who didn’t learn from history.)…”
Today, we have a lot of people who will learn a very valuable lesson.
I believe that last year was the first year that I made the point that: “On this day, back in 1776, our founding father declared ‘Independence’ from Britain.
However, declaring independence and winning independence are two different things.”
Winning independence came MUCH later than July, 4th, 1776.
50 percent of the American population, at the time, were terrified at the prospects of fighting a war with the British.
They didn’t want to do it.
Today, we face a similar problem. (Thankfully, without the gun and canon fire.)
Today, 50 percent of the American population seem willing to sit back and watch freedom slip away.
Here is what REALLY pisses me off:
People who were so vocal about President Bush’s wiretapping laws and how they felt it was unconstitutional.
These very same people have no problem with the “invasion of personal privacy” for global warming laws by President Obama.
President Bush invaded our phone lines to stop terrorists.
President Obama will invade your home and car to stop global warming.
There is NO difference between the two.
If you were upset about one presidents invasion of constitutional privacy, then you must be upset about the other.
If you believe that Bush was wrong, but Obama is right, then you are using our liberty and the constitution like a masturbation tool. (For your own self- gratification.)
Why would 50 percent of the population allow freedom to be expelled..??
Because they do not understand what freedom they will be losing.
In the middle of the night, 300 NEW pages were added to the “Cap and Trade Bill” that the House passed this week.
No member of congress had an opportunity to study ALL of this Bill. The House PASSED this Bill without reading it.
(Which seems to be the norm for this Democratic Congress.)
Freedoms that you are losing:
If you want to buy or sell a home, it MUST be “green.” (Environmentally friendly.)
If you are very, very rich, this will not effect you because you can afford to “green up” your home.
If you are one of Obama’s poor, we tax payers will be paying for your “green- house.”
However, the middle class, who isn’t wealthy, will be killed by this bill.
What if you lose your job, but you find a new job in another city; you cannot sell your old home until you pay to “green it up.” You will spend tens of thousands of dollars to add insulation, a high efficient furnace and water heater. Double pane windows, etc.
(But Obama will give you a $1,500 tax credit, which might buy the furnace.)
The 1,500 page “Cap and Trade Bill”, (which no member of congress read) will increase the cost of gas and electricity.
Because no American oil refinery has been built in America in 30 years, they will most likely NOT reach Obama’s “green” standards. Instead of building new refineries, (which will cost billions) Gas stations will raise the price of gas and pass the cost on to you.
The same is true with electricity.
This will not effect Obama and his family. They are far more richer than George Bush, Dick Cheney, or any of us. The super rich, like Obama, will just pay the high cost of fuel.
Obama’s poor will also not be effected by this “cap and trade” bill because we tax payers are already paying for their electricity and natural gas bills.
It is the middle class that will suffer from this bill.
The middle class:
Who were already cutting costs, by lowering their furnace, turning down their water heater, and driving their car less.
Republicans claim that the average family will see an increase of $2,000 per year from “Cap and Trade.”
Democrats say: “Nawww, you might see a $300 dollar increase, trust us..”
Guess what, I do not “trust” the democrats.
Barack Obama said that there would be “no new taxes for people making $250,000 per year”, and that was a lie. (IE- cigarette taxes, cap and trade taxes, etc.)
Why would so many people sit back and allow this to happen..??
Maybe you are a liberal who rents an apartment and you think that this will not effect you..??
You are wrong.
I own a couple of apartments.
In the city that these apartments are located, they are already taking about mandatory “safety and green” inspections for landlords. (But not for owner- occupants.)
OK, let’s forget the “unconstitutionality” of inspecting one group of people’s homes (landlords) but NOT inspecting the other group (owner- occupants) but if I have to spend thousands to “green up” my rental properties, I will double the rent.
This is not a guess.
I am not a politician who is telling you what you want to hear.
I am telling you a fact. The truth.
I, and millions of other landlords, will double your rent.
If the city, the state, and Obama’s federal government force me: the landlord, and you: the tenant, to green up the property; the government will force you to leave while the property is under construction. I will spend thousands in improvements. When you return from your motel stay, your rent will double.
If you paid $1,000 per month plus utilities, I will now charge you $2,000 plus utilities.
There is nothing that we can do about it, the feds are in control, now. They will say what constitutes “green.”
Ask yourself: “Is this what you voted for..??”
What was wrong with we Americans trying to conserve fuel on our own..??
Why do we need the Nazi “jack boot” laws to force you to conserve..??
Can’t you do that on your own..??
Do you need a freaking law to save the earth..??
Couldn’t you force, with guilt, your liberal Hollywood buddies and Al Gore to STOP wasting fuel on private jets, owning 5 homes, and driving BIG vehicles..??
Why do we needs laws for this..??
Laws that hurt the middle class.
On this 4th of July, we find ourselves in another battle for freedom.
Our founding father won us this freedom with their blood and their lives.
We must fight to hold on to this freedom.
To my conservative friends…
In the next few months, you will begin to see many democrats crossing over. Their eyes will be open and they will have awakened, they will realize that America is heading down a path that was already tried in Europe and failed.
We must welcome these liberals.
There is no time for “I told you so.”
To beat (and replace) Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama; we will need everyone.
And that includes all the democrats who are now beginning to see.
“…The other brothers were laughing and goofing off, chasing young girls. But little Michael would sit for hours and study tapes of James Brown and Wilson Picket. He was like an old man trapped in a boy’s body…”
Rare video of Wilson Picket: “Mustang Sally”
I have not yet watched the movie: “The curious case of Benjamin Button”, but if I understand the premise; Brad Pitt’s character starts out as an old man and ages backward, until he dies of old age: as a baby.
This is the best way that I can explain: Michael Jackson.
As a teenage boy, Michael spent his time doing things and taking on more responsibility than most adults carry in their lifetime.
Yet, as a forty year old man; Michael was living in an amusement park, surrounded by animals and children. Spending his days playing children’s games.
Michael Jackson aged backwards.
A few years back, (when Michael Jackson was having his “legal” problems), I made a sad prediction…
I said: “..Michael Jackson will end up like Elvis Presley. Jackson will die young from a drug overdose or die secluded like Howard Hughs…”
(My last such prediction was in a post on this web site, called: “Bailout Fever- (bail baby bail).” It is the second story in that post and I wrote the following:
”…Maybe what Michael Jackson needs right now is religion? (Any religion.) I have always worried that Jackson was heading for self- destruction, and possible suicide. Religion could possible straighten Jackson out? (No pun intended.)..”
Has there ever been a sadder story than Michael Jackson..??
(With the exception of all of the other famous people who die “way too young” from drugs and depression.)
I am hopeful that the Jackson family do NOT try and hide the conditions surrounding Michael’s death. There are many lessons to be learned.
The one lesson that I need to learn from the MJ story is that money (and fame) do not solve all of your problems and make you happy.
No one can say that Michael Jackson was “happy.” At one time, Jackson had plenty of money and no one was more famous.
I constantly fight the feeling that if I just had more money, I could buy “more stuff” and I would be “more happy” with all of this new stuff.
But once I obtain this “stuff”, (new car, swimming pool, motorcycle, new fancy phone, etc) the happiness is short lived and it becomes another thing to care for, fix, and sink money into.
The second lesson, (which I learned many years ago) is that drugs do not make you happy. They cause you to be more depressed.
I thought about talking about Michael Jackson’s career. How great he was and how far he fell…
But I am not going to do that.
(Besides, TV and the Internet are doing a great job of reviewing MJ’s career.)
I just wanted to point out a couple of points that I had noticed in his life.
Having been a Disc Jockey during my 20’s and 30’s, I had a bird’s eye view of Michael Jackson’s career.
No one can deny that MJ had talent.
For me, Michael’s downfall started around the release of the “Bad” album.
This is when MJ started grabbing his crotch, spitting on the ground, and chasing women. (As opposed to having women chase him.)
It was as if some producer told Michael that people didn’t think that he was “manly enough.”
So Michael started singing songs about how “Bad” he was, or how “Dangerous” he is. Guys grab their crotches, right..!!
So naturally the “manly Michael Jackson” started to spit, grab is “stuff” and bust car windows out with a club.
That’s what men do, right..??
But this wasn’t Michael Jackson.
That is when he started wearing a mask.
Michael never let us see behind that mask that he wore, ever again.
What a shame.
If I had to pick the Michael Jackson video that means the most to me, right now; I would pick- “Scream.”
Thriller was good, (but being a night club disc jockey, I had to play that video 2 times a night, every night, for freaking ever.) Billy Jean was good, Smooth Criminal was great, Black and White was a come back. Jackson had so many great videos.
“Scream” is the one video that means the most to me, now that Michael is gone.
I wanted to embed the video here, but the Jackson Family have the Embed function off, so I will leave a link to it.
“Scream” features Michael and Janet Jackson together. It is the MOST expensive video ever made (7 million dollars.)
“Scream” is filmed in black and white. It is shot on a spaceship. Both Michael and Janet have fancy games and toys that you would only find in a science fiction movie. From art that magically transforms into something else, to games that allow you to bust up vases, to dancing on the ceiling.
The Jackson’s have all this stuff…
And yet they seem bored to tears.
They seem lonely and lost. Just trying to fill their time.
In this “spaceship”, isolated from the rest of the world; the Jackson’s are singing about all the “pressure” in their life.
So much pressure that it makes them want to “Scream.”
That is the way I view Michael Jackson. A boy that was “cut off from the rest of the world”, who had more money than he knew what to do with it; who had more talent then many, who died lonely and poor.
One would hope that the Michael Jackson story would teach future generations that you can make it if you try, and that drugs and depression can kill.
In one of Michael Jackson’s songs (Black or White), one lyric states that MJ is not: “going to spend his life being a ‘color.”
He didn’t..!!
Michael Jackson transcended race, color, gender, and just about everything else.
It was about this time last year, that we were all blogging like crazy.
We had a mission…
Our mission:
To keep those bastards: The ________ Party out of the White House. (You can insert the political party in which you currently hate right now, into the BLANK space I have provided.)
I too, was busy like a bee. Building a demented beehive where we MUST destroy the “other guys.”
Today, things have all changed. We can relax.
The Democrats are fixing all of the messes that the Republicans left behind.
Sure, Barney Frank is pissed off at President Obama’s current wording in a bill concerning marriage.
(But hey, when ISN’T Barney Frank pissed off..??)
And Bill Maher isn’t too happy with President Obama either. Bill wishes that Obama was MORE like President Bush. (Aaahh, that would be the GOOD side of Bush. Not that EVIL side of Bush that we conservatives seemed to like.)
But all and all, things are running smooth.
Iran is on the verge of revolution.
North Korea is firing off a missile almost every day and are promising to marry their missile with a nuclear warhead.
The economy is fixed up real good. (NOTE) The masses of unemployed people should look into becoming Gay and hooking up with a Gay government worker, so they can utilize President Obama’s new benefits for Gay Associate Government Active Workers. (Or: G.A. G.A.W., as they like to be called.)
With the Democrats and President Obama fixing all of this stuff, it has left me with more time to reflect on my own life. Today, I ponder BIGGER questions.
Much bigger questions than politics.
Questions like:
Why is it so freaking cold in June, in Pennsylvania..??
Come on…
I still have a redneck suntan in June.
(Note) No offence to any rednecks reading this. (Like rednecks can read.)
(Also note) A redneck tan is when only your arms and face are tan, BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN TOO FREAKING COLD TO GET A TAN ELSEWHERE.
Then it dawns on me…
The Democrats have fixed global warming too.
Barack Obama has only been in the White House for 6 months, and somehow he managed to fix global warming..??
(If you asked me, he fixed it TOO GOOD.) I wouldn’t mind a little sunshine, now and then.
With Global Warming fixed, Al Gore is now free to invest in a new car company, instead of spending all his time saving you, from yourself.
Would that be an electric car company that Al Gore is investing in..??
No.
Would that be some kind of fuel cell or hybrid car..??
No.
Al Gore is sinking tons of cash in a car company that makes gasoline powered cars.
To Gore’s credit, this car (which has no name or any details at this point) is said to get 65 mpg.
“…(I believe) that a female Hispanic judge would often reach a better decision than a White male judge…”
We can rest assured, people…
President Obama and his sidekick, (the part- time stand up comic) Bobby Gibbs- has said that Sonia Sotomayor would NEVER use that wording today.
Sonia “mis-spoke” about speaking.
Sonia’s mouth was moving, however; her brain wasn’t thinking, back in 2001.
Democrats are quick to point out that Sonia was talking about how a female Hispanic judge would understand Hispanic problems BETTER than some old “cracker” White judge.
That is what Sonia meant to say.
But those mean old neo-con’s are trying to destroy Sonia. (By using her own words.)
Folks, the democrats are taking a long walk on a short pier.
LET THEM.
The American people realize that a fair minded judge, who is following the constitution, doesn’t have to be a particular skin color.
To say that they must have a particular skin color is- racist.
President Obama might have an opportunity to appoint 3 justices to Supreme Court during his presidency.
All three are liberal.
Try as he might, Obama CANNOT change the balance of power in the court.
So let the democrats spend all of their political capitol trying to appoint Sonia. (Because she is female, and she is Hispanic.)
Folks, do you know how many democrats talked to me this week and are upset that President Obama picked this person..?? (A racist.)
As I tell all democrats who are concerned with Obama’s performance, I will print it here:
President Obama is a GREAT speaker, and a smart man.
However, Barack doesn’t care about the “little” details involved in the job. He would rather delegate authority to lower figures, so that he (Obama) can continue to make speeches.
The problem is: Obama surrounds himself with shady people who make “back- door deals.”
That is why Obama; a smart man, can pick several tax cheats for his administration. (Because Obama didn’t really check these people out. Obama was too busy giving speeches.)
That is why Sonia, a racist; slipped by.
Because President Obama isn’t concerned with the details in the job. Obama is only interested in the speeches.
Second- Obama has too big of an ego to admit that he isn’t making the decisions.
Obama MUST lose all these shady people from his past. (Like we conservatives tried to tell you folks during the election.)
If Obama continues to run with this crowd, he will spend the entire 4 years defending all of his (their) choices.
I’m not to concerned about this court pick.
Obama can only replace a liberal judge with another liberal judge.
Rush Limbaugh ended his broadcast week by joking that Nancy Pelosi could help the “women’s movement” by being THE FIRST female “Speaker of the House” to resign.
Many conservatives and some democrats are also asking the same thing:
Democrat; Speaker of the House: Nancy Pelosi should resign.
I respectfully disagree.
Ms. Pelosi should stay right where she is.
The American people MUST see the face of the democratic party.
They must experience it for themselves, or they will never learn.
As many of you know, I was not always a conservative. When I was younger, I was a liberal. For years, I thought that the democratic party stood for “freedom” and that they cared for the poor.
As I grew older, I realized this wasn’t true.
Democrats create “half- assed” programs, that are not planned out good enough, that keep people living next to the poverty level, FOR LIFE.
Democrats say they will help the environment and stop global warming. And in doing so, they will restrict your freedom MORE than anytime in American history. (Just wait until you see what democrats have in mind for the Internet; to protect you from cyberbullying, phishing, identity theft and more.)
Freedom…
In the future, you will look back on pre- 2009, and remember how FREE you were.
As I learned many years ago, younger Americans today must also learn;
Democrats DO NOT stand for freedom.
Democrats restrict freedom, (in the guise of helping the environment, or the Internet, etc.)
Democrats do not help the poor.
They create programs that keep people poor, and they raise taxes on us people who try to better ourselves.
Nancy Pelosi
Harry Reid
Joe Biden
Barack Obama
These people MUST remain right where they are. (At least until 2012.)
Folks, we can tell Americans (until we are blue in the face) that these people are NOT sincere. However, until they see it with their own eyes, they are never going to believe it.
(Just as I had to witness it for myself, many years ago.)
Nancy Pelosi should stay right there. Stumbling and bumbling through answers like: “..I was NEVER briefed on waterboarding..” “..OK, there were briefings, but I thought that the CIA was talking about interrogation methods that they wouldn’t use..” “..OK.. I changed my mind, the CIA lied..”
The American people MUST see President Obama say he will close Gitmo, but he doesn’t.
That Obama will release photos of CIA interrogations, but then he doesn’t.
That Obama will end military tribunals, but then Obama starts them back up.
Yes, people MUST see it for themselves.
President Obama is becoming President Bush’s third term.
And this scares the crap out of the liberals. Go read a few liberal web site. They are stunned and confused. (Though, publicly, they are blaming “outside forces” and NOT Obama, at this point.)
To his credit, “The Daily Show’s” host: Jon Stewart has been taking a few shots at President Obama and his “waffle house.” But even Jon is holding back the “tough” humor and reserving it for the always safe- republican bashing.
It’s happening folks, and I am very optimistic about the future.
We are facing a different time, today.
In the past, democrats would rarely criticize their own party. However, America as a whole, had no problem criticizing Presidents Clinton and Carter.
But with the FIRST Black President, America as a whole will never truly take Obama to task.
I believe that President Obama could restrict free speech on the Internet, (which he might) and America will say nothing. Liberals will defend Obama, claiming: “..Well, we had too much freedom on the Internet, anyway..”
We had too much freedom..??
On the Internet, too much free speech..??
I will take some time, and Obama will never be criticized the way that Bush, Clinton, and others have been in the past.
It is a shame.
Racism is still very strong in America.
You would think that by now “all men would be equal.” But a White man cannot criticize a Black man. (It just doesn’t “look” good.)
So, we will have to tolerate the silence, (in the media and on talk shows) about Barack’s performance.
We will have to put up with the “blood sport” crowd who are living in the past, (and defying Obama’s wishes) who want to see Cheney, Rummy, and Bush in prison. These pundits want a HUGE trial of everyone involved in “torture.” (Except, of course, any democrat who went along with it.)
NY Times columnist Frank Rich is sure to be the talk of the talk show circuit this week.
Rich wrote an editorial Saturday in which he believes that President Obama is trying to “turn the page” on the Bush years, to move past all of this “stuff.” In that: Obama doesn’t want to release the interrogation photos.
Rich’s editorial is filled with the usual liberal propaganda that you find on the Internet. That there is “..much, much, more than JUST water boarding that the EVIL Bush administration did, and if we just hold a MASSIVE public trial, I am sure we will find more EVIL things that Bush did..”
This is stuff that we have all heard before. Razor blades on prisoners genitals, women’s underwear on terrorist’s heads, secret memos between White House staff, yada, yada yada.
Every single case, (razor blades, genitals, ladies underwear) are all being tried and those responsible are being prosecuted. Even Gen. Richard Sanchez resigned over these matters.
However, this is not good enough for Frank Rich and the liberal left.
They want BIG news and they want blood.
What I find interesting about Frank Rich’s “story” is the blatant contradiction contained within.
I cannot believe that the NY Times editorial board, or Rich himself didn’t catch this error..??
At the beginning and at the end of Rich’s editorial he talks about the importance of holding massive hearings on the Bush administration. To “shed some light on where every body is buried..” (Please..!!)
Rich even claims that the Arab world would see how we handle and respect law, and the Arab world would gain respect for America.
Yea, that worked out REALLY well when President Clinton held the “Blind Sheik” for the FIRST World Trade Tower bombing, and Clinton tried him as a criminal. (Not a terrorist.) Terrorists gained so much respect for America that they came back again eight years later and killed 3,000 Americans.
But here is the mistake in Rich’s column…
In the middle of his editorial, Rich claims that if secret memos from Rumsfeld to President Bush ever leaked out, it would incite the Arab world and cause MORE violence to US Troops.
OK, do you follow me on this..??
First, Frank Rich says that releasing this information WILL HELP our standing in the Arab world.
But then Frank Rich says that releasing this information would piss off the Arab world..??
Which is it..??
It cannot be both ways..!!
Frank Rich is not a stupid man. He is just liberal.
But I am beginning to wonder if Rich is even reading his own editorials and double checking them..?? Because this was a blatant mistake.
It is almost like the NY Times and Frank Rich are pumping this stuff out, without checking it. Like some kind of sewage plant. “..We ain’t got time to check it, just pump the shit outta here..”
Liberals are not concerned with the truth. Because if they were than they would want to try Nancy Pelosi and the 40 other democrats who knew about the CIA interrogations.
Liberals are not concerned with the troops who are still fighting the war. Because if they were, than they would take Frank Rich’s advice and NOT piss off the Arab world with a MASSIVE trial.
(That would be Frank Rich’s advice from the middle of his editorial, not the other Frank Rich who wrote the beginning of his editorial.)
Yes…
Nancy Pelosi MUST stay right where she is.
We MUST continue to shed the light on President Obama’s “waffle house.”
It is the only way the Americans will realize just what they voted for.
Required Reading..??
Frank Rich- The New York Times
Watch as Rich explains how a trial on “torture” will HELP America, but yet HURT American soldiers.
Cusack wrote a similar post about the importance of releasing all of our military secrets.
To give John Cusack some credit, he does take some of the responsibility for what happened. John states that we (democratic members of congress- Pelosi) should have known what was going on. (Exact quote:) “..If we are to be honest, most Americans knew or should have known- (what) was being carried out in our names..”
Over the past few weeks, liberals have been SHOCKED to find out that religious women have breasts.
This must be true because look at the “out- rage” over Carrie Prejean, Miss California, and modeling pictures that she took years ago.
I was NOT shocked to find this information out because I already knew that Christian women had breasts. (I discovered it years ago.)
Liberals were also stunned to learn that Christian men enjoy looking at women’s breasts. (This too, I already knew about.)
So it was a learning experience for our democratic friends.
Liberals learned that Christian women have breasts.
And progressives learned that Christian men enjoy the female body.
(Sorry, but I just do not find the SHOCK value in this story that our progressive friends do..??)
Hypocrisy..??
Hypocrisy…
That Religious people might except nudity..??
Michelangelo, who happened to be religious, lived 500 years ago, AND PAINTED PEOPLE IN THE NUDE.
The church, (remember, this was 500 years ago) the church; knowing that Michelangelo painted and sculpted people naked, the church HIRED (commissioned) Michelangelo to paint churches.
Liberal / progressives; you really do not know anything about us religious people, do you..??
You do not study history.
Liberals have this strawman image of what a religious / conservative person is. They do not research further than “media matters” or “truth dot org” or “move on dot org.”
“..If somebody put it on a web site, it must be true. Because I read it on the Daily Kos..”
This whole story was about free speech.
Nothing more or nothing less.
Free speech.
Miss California, Carrie Prejean; spoke her mind using her belief system which she described as the “way that she was raised.” (That marriage should be between a man and a woman.) No offence to anyone.
Angry Gay boy; Perez Hilton, didn’t like her answer, and began calling Miss California a: “Bitch.”
The media, along with the “thought police” (1984, anyone..??) didn’t like Miss California’s answer, either.
You see…
Today, in America, YOU MUST all think the same way. You cannot be an individual. (We will have none of that.)
If you do not think like we do, you must be taken down.
Destroyed.
Semi- nude photos surfaced of Carrie Prejean.
The media, along with the “thought police” and members of the progressive / liberal community used these pictures to destroy Miss California.
Hypocrisy…!! (They shouted.)
But it didn’t work.
Yesterday, Donald Trump “ruled” that Miss California can keep her crown. She broke no rules.
Today, Miss California is BIGGER than the girl who actually won the pageant.
And I want to sift through this mess to make a couple of points, on my web site: The Angry Republic.
First: Carrie Prejean is searching for her 15 minutes of fame. That is true and lets make note of it.
However, so is Perez Hilton, and Donald Trump. (Trump is actually searching for his 50 years of fame..!!)
So we can remove “fame” from the equation, because everyone involved is looking for “stardom.”
“..Marriage should be between a man and a woman..”
Free speech means: “The freedom to speak your mind.” You may not like the answer, but they have a right to speak it.
(Which, by the way, so does Perez Hilton.)
On the issue of “gay-ness.”
I do not want to see a man having sex with another man. It sickens me.
Then again, I do not want to see a man have sex with a goat. That sickens me too.
Why can’t you understand that..??
If I do not want to except these images, why do you feel that you MUST force me to except these things..??
What is ingrained in your mental make-up that causes you to believe that I MUST except the image of a man having sex with another man, (or a goat)..??
What causes you to think that way..??
You do not like it when a religious person “preaches” to you. So why would you preach to me..??
Let me put it another way…
After the election, I was very close to excepting gay marriage. You know, what the hell..??
I said, on this web site, that: “Republicans may have to consider getting out of people’s bedrooms..”
Republicans might want to drop the issues of gay marriage and abortion on a federal level.
If a media hack asks a future republican candidate: “Where do you stand on gay marriage..??”
The future republican could answer: “It is really none of my business. Gay marriage isn’t a federal issue. States must decide these kinds of issues. I do not agree with gay marriage but the issue shouldn’t be a federal one. Let the states decide..”
That’s it. You are done..!!
Get the issue out of the White House.
But…
Along comes the Angry Gay Boy: Perez Hilton.
To think that: before Perez Hilton made those statements about Miss California, I was considering that the republican party DROP the issue of “right and wrong” with gay marriage.
But after Hilton’s statements…
I will get off the couch and RUSH down to the voting booth, to vote NO for gay marriage.
Before Hilton, I might have Not showed up to vote, or even given a yes vote on gay marriage. Because really; I don’t give a shit about what you do in the privacy of your house.
You lost my vote because of Perez Hilton.
To the gay community…
I do not really think that you understand how badly Perez Hilton crippled your cause..??
Sure, I am “one voice.”
But how many millions of Americans were “standing on the fence”, with the issue of gay marriage.
With an election that was filled with “hope and change”, the first Black President; how many Americans were thinking about voting for gay marriage..??
But then the Angry Gay Boy: Perez Hilton, trashes a girl for using free speech, and your whole cause gets flushed down the toilet.
The “gay rights” issue is dead, for now.
President Obama is not going to push for gay rights. (But you already knew that, because he told you.)
President Obama MUST appeal to the Black community and the religious democratic voters. (He already has your vote.) So, Barack will not show any favoritism to your cause.
Sure, you can pretend that “Perez Hilton” didn’t say what he did, or that it isn’t “that important.”
You could point to Maine and now New York State voting for gay marriage, and you could give yourself a false sense of security.
Yet, you are smart enough to know that states were voting for gay marriage during the Bush presidency. So, nothing has changed.
How many people were “turned off” by Hilton’s statements..??
We will soon find out..!!
Your first mistake was to let Miss California drown in a media swamp, just because you didn’t like her “free speech.”
Your second mistake was to allow Perez Hilton to grab his 15 minutes of fame, while you giggled in the background, and did nothing to oppose him.
Your third mistake was trying to destroy a person with semi- nude pictures. (You thought that we would be upset over nude pictures..?? The “church” excepted nudity 500 years ago.)
It didn’t work, did it..??
Miss California won her cause. Perez Hilton lost his cause.
Miss California is MORE famous than the winner of the pageant, and Perez Hilton.
Hard lessons learned.
While I’m on the subject; why is the gay community allowing “gay- exploitation” on TV and movies..??
In the 1970’s, we had “Black- exploitation” films that showed a Black person with a big afro and all “pimped out” in rags. He would say things like “right on” and “that’s groovy man..” Usually he was portrayed as a pimp, or a hustler of some kind.
Today, the gay community is shown this way in movies and TV. The gay man is dressed in traditional “gay-ness” type outfits. He is emotional and cries at the drop of a hat. He “shops” and is a natural at home decorations.
I know several gay people and they are nothing like this.
Why do you stand silent while TV, the media, and Perez Hilton destroy your cause..??
Should the republican party be LARGE and inclusive? Should we welcome ALL people, no matter if they are pro- choice on abortion? Or homosexual and looking to vote for gay marriage..??
What if a person believes in some kind of a national health plan? Should we welcome their voice..??
OR…
Should the republican party become purer..??
Should we tell “pro- choice” people to “hit the road.”
Should we tell people who favor some government programs: “you are outta here.”
Should we tell homosexuals: “It is my way, or the highway.”
I was going to add a poll question here to see what you think.
Unfortunately, not all the blog systems that my site is seen on will handle poll questions.
So, after this paragraph, some of you will see the poll question, others will see a link to the poll question.
Basically, the poll question is: Should the republican party become purer, or larger?
This will probably be the most lopsided poll I have ever done. Most conservatives believe that we need to return to the basic principals. (Smaller government, less taxes, more personal freedom, etc.)
Any liberal who reads my site will laugh and vote for a purer republican party. Democrats; believing that if republicans become an exclusive club for conservatives ONLY, republicans will never win another election- ever.
And many moderates probably voted for Barack Obama in 2008. They are not really interested in the “republican party house cleaning”, and moderates haven’t paid enough attention to politics to even CARE what republicans do next.
If we cleanse the republican party, we may pick up a few seats in the House and “maybe” the Senate in 2010. But democrats will still hold a strong majority.
If we stick to strict conservative principals, (and President Obama still holds a 51 to 60 % approval rating), we will lose the 2012 election.
(Which means 8 years of Barack Obama, and others.)
However, if we stick to conservative principals, and we have the right candidate, we will win in 2016. By then, even the stupidest moderate will realize that giving money to the government doesn’t fix things. So why give more than you have to..??
The only way that a republican can win in 2012, is to sound like a “liberal version of the republican party.” (Or, Obama has to fail miserably.)
Let’s face it…
The media is in love with President Obama.
Average Americans, (who do not pay as much attention to politics as we do) think that President Obama is doing fine.
Barring some huge scandal, Barack Obama will have no problem winning a reelection.
In my humble opinion, we need to get back to conservative principals. So what if we lose in 2010 and 2012? We have to offer an alternative to democratic socialism. “Republican lite” just isn’t working.
This reminds me of an “old time” method for teaching children not to like something.
My grandfather was “old school” when it came to lessons on life.
He was “old school” on many issues and made his own wine and beer. I was about 7 or 8 years old, and I was fascinated by this “stuff” that my grandfather was brewing. I had noticed that my grandfather would whistle, and seem happy after having a few glasses of this “secret” stuff.
One day my grandfather caught me with an open bottle of his wine, and I was sniffing the contents.
I was sure that he would be mad, but he wasn’t. Instead, he poured two glasses of homemade wine and slid one to me.
In a heavy Italian accent, he said: “You gonna drink with the big boys..??”
I was proud, yes…
I was going to “drink with the big boys.”
Grandpa chugged his glass of wine. (Yes, grandpa’s wine was sooo strong, that you chugged it like whiskey.)
So I did the same.
I was NOT prepared for the “taste” of homemade booze.
I went running for the door and spit up every last drop of that vile drink.
Never again, did I ever go anywhere near grandpa’s homemade brew.
And he knew that.
(I always wondered what grandpa’s lesson for “sex” would have been..?? Maybe I don’t want to know? I could have become a forty year old virgin.)
Maybe this is what America needs..??
Americans NEED to taste the democrats’ homemade brew.
After hearing their democratic president say he will close Gitmo. (But Obama doesn’t REALLY close Gitmo.)
After hearing their democratic president say he will end the war. (But he doesn’t really end the war.)
Obama says he is sympathetic to gay rights, however he hasn’t done anymore than Bush did on the issue. (Or Clinton, for that matter.)
Obama says he cares about the poor. However, taxes and prices will rise on power, (electricity, heat, fuel). These increases in price on the necessities of life will effect the poor, most of all.
Once Americans remember that democrats “talk about doing things”, but never seem to get around to “doing those things”, we conservatives will have nothing to worry about.
However, it may take 8 years.
I vote for strict conservative principals.
Smaller government.
Lower taxes.
More personal freedom.
When I say “more personal freedom”, I mean “more freedom for everyone.”
You could argue that I am “milking the clock”, on my web site, with the topic of torture / enhanced interrogations.
However, it is a very important issue to me. And, considering that the topic has generated 16 pages of comments from the readers, it MUST be an important topic for you, as well.
Besides, everything has a beginning..!!
If the movie: “Star Wars” can have 3 prequels;
If “Batman” can have a beginning;
Well, then my crappy little web site can also present a beginning for my editorials on “Torturing you silly.”
Where did “this” all begin..??
I know that progressives and liberals WANT to believe that President Bush and VP Cheney were sitting in a dark, dirty room at the White House.
Picture Dick Cheney speaking in a monotone voice. George Bush is sitting next to Cheney; giggling like a little school girl, in the background:
“..I like to watch people suffer..” says Cheney.
“..I want to torture someone..” Cheney continues. All the while, Bush can be heard laughing in the background.
“..Nothing blows wind up my skirt more than hearing someone scream in pain..” Cheney offers.
Bush says: “..Don’t worry, Dick. I am the decider. We’ll water board those towel heads. We’ll find out every thing, including where they tied their goat..”
When you read the comments and posts from liberals, this is the impression that is given. That the liberals believe that Bush and Cheney picked these interrogation methods out of thin air, and made the decision (on their own, without constitutional guidance) to use these methods of interrogation.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
I will explain, but first; we must return to the relevant time in history.
America had just received the worst attack since Pearl Harbor.
For the first time in American history, we had a NEW problem…
This enemy didn’t wear uniforms. They didn’t identify themselves. They were living amongst us FOR YEARS, before they strike.
The pile of rubble, that once was the World Trade Towers, was still smoking from the fire, while letters filled with anthrax began arriving in the mail; to prominent American’s offices.
To top it off, someone was killing innocent people around Washington DC. They were using a high- powered sharp shooter’s riffle and acting like an assassin.
It looked as though America was under a FULL attack.
The battle in Afghanistan was in it’s beginning stages and we had rounded up a few “key” terrorists.
We needed to know two things, and we needed to know them right away:
“Were there any MORE al Qaeda sleeper cells in America?” We COULD NOT allow another 9 /11 attack.
And: “Where is bin Laden?”
The problem was, the terrorists that we had captured were not talking.
We MUST find out what the enemy will do next.
If President Bush couldn’t stop another attack on America, then he would have failed at his primary job to protect and defend the United States.
We needed to know where the enemy was.
The CIA had methods of interrogation that had been effective in the past. All of the enhanced interrogation technics offered to the Bush administration by the CIA, were authorized by past US presidents. (With, maybe, the exception being water boarding.) LINKS BELOW.
The Bush administration charged John Choon Yoo with the job of finding out whether “water boarding” was constitutionally acceptable. And if water boarding detainees would break our agreements with the Geneva Conventions. (War Crimes Act.)
John Yoo argued that detainees were NOT prisoners of war. That “modern” water boarding did not cause any permanent injuries, death, or any permanent metal injuries, therefore; water boarding was constitutionally acceptable and did not break the War Crimes Act.
At the time (2001 to 2003), John Yoo was in the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Council.
Before that time, John Yoo was a professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley.
Now…
Before you think that I am trying to “pass the buck” and blame John Yoo for this whole mess, don’t get ahead of me.
President Bush was the one who signed off on all of this. After all, Bush is “the decider.” Right..!!
However, a president isn’t necessarily a constitutional scholar. It isn’t part of the job description.
So a president must rely on his Department of Justice.
I agree with John Yoo’s assessment of enhanced interrogations.
Most conservatives also agree with John Yoo’s legal argument.
Considering the fact that no other country is formally charging the United States with “torture”, I must conclude that John Yoo’s legal argument could hold up.
However, the progressive left does not agree with John Yoo.
So, for the liberal left; I want to talk about Mr. Yoo.
A guy like John Yoo doesn’t just pop out of the womb and enter a courtroom, sighting constitutional law. We do not create a “John Yoo” in a conservative laboratory fill with smoking test tubes and machines that make a “buzzing” noise.
They MUST learn the trade- somewhere..??
For John Yoo, this education came from Akhil Reed Amar.
Akhil Amar is said to be one of America’s premiere constitutional scholars.
Why heck, the TV show: “The West Wing” used Amar as a technical adviser.
I tried to study and take a “crash course” on the history of Akhil Amar.
Here is some of what I have found:
Amar argues that the Oklahoma City bomber: Timothy McVeigh’s trial was unconstitutional.
What..??
Amar suggests that the whole McVeigh trial was unconstitutional BECAUSE they moved it to a different state.
Amar states that the constitution protects each state and gives each state THE RIGHT to try, and convict their own criminals. Therefore, moving the McVeigh trial to another state violated Oklahoma’s State rights.
OK, I can understand what Amar is saying. But I do not agree with him. Do you realize how dangerous this line of thinking is..??
If we didn’t have the death penalty, (Which Amar is strongly opposed to) if McVeigh were alive today; he could use Amar as a way to form an appeal.
Timothy McVeigh could become a free man by using Akhil Amar’s logic. (Being that his trial was deemed “unconstitutional” by Akhil Amar.)
Let me give you some of Akhil Amar’s own words:
“…Europeans are increasingly challenging Americans on the issue of the death penalty and claiming the moral high ground.
This approach to the Eighth Amendment raises an obvious question: If American judges may properly canvass the evolving principles and practices of democratic states on this side of the North Atlantic, why shouldn’t they also consider the evolving norms of other advanced democracies? When regressive States lag, the Constitution brings them up to speed; shouldn’t judges also be concerned when America as a whole lags behind the civilized world?..”
If you have read my site for any length of time, you know that I am NOT a “one world order”, globalization type guy.
I hate it.
“One world order” destroys the individual. It hampers personal freedom. And it cannot be tolerated in America.
To the liberals who read my web site:
You will hear many of us conservatives talk about the “permanent constitution.”
We do not believe that the constitution is a “living- breathing” document, that is meant to be changed. A “ball of wax” that can be shaped by future generations.
Akhil Reed Amar wants to change the way America does things.
Matter of fact, as I write this, Akhil Amar is attending a conference in New York City TODAY- May 4th 2009.
What is the topic of this debate, you might ask..??
“Is the American Constitution Obsolete..??”
OK…
To be fair…
I have no idea what Amar might say at this conference. (Because it hasn’t happened yet. It’s happening later today.)
For all I know, Amar might defend the constitution as it was written.
However, if people walked up to me and asked: “..Would you like to attend a conference on whether the US constitution is obsolete..??”
I would smile and say, as kindly as I could; “..That question is so f**king stupid, get the hell out of my face..”
Why would you give this conference any attention, Mr. Amar..??
Folks, if you really want to get to the bottom of this whole “torture” topic, you must follow the money.
Yes, Bush was the president and made the ultimate decision to use these technics.
However, who gave President Bush the legal advice that water boarding was not torture..??
John Yoo.
Where did John Yoo gain his knowledge, which formed his educational foundation, which allowed Yoo to come to this conclusion on water boarding..??
From Akhil Reed Amar.
Again, I believe that John Yoo is correct in his thinking. However, you the liberal, does not. You believe that Yoo was very, very wrong.
So you must ask yourselves where John Yoo developed this “thinking outside of the box” mentality when it comes to the constitution..??
I have given you the answer.
The next time you hear conservatives talk about “strict constitutionalism,” understand this…
This isn’t something that we say for the hell of it, or to make ourselves sound “patriotic.”
It is a way of life. Of freedom.
There is a danger of “rethinking the constitution”, and “beefing up the constitution to fit modern times.”
The Danger: You might not agree with the guy that is doing the “rethinking.”
As I just proved to you today.

All of the enhanced interrogation methods had been approved before.
“…They (the CIA) water boarded Sheik Mohammad 183 times…”
Jon Stewart- “..You would think that after the 90th time of water boarding, that Mohammad would say: OK, I’m not going to die..”
David Letterman- “..183 times..?? You would think that after a while, the terrorist thugs would realize that they were not going to die..”That is funny stuff..!!
But, it is completely and factually false.
Sheik Mohammed was water boarded 5 times during the month that this statement and these jokes were talking about.
5 times.
Liberals did this very same thing with Gov. Palin.
Liberals take some obscure statement or law, (like victims of rape in Alaska having to pay for “rape investigation kits”), a law which was on the books BEFORE Palin became mayor, and liberals claim that Palin wanted to charge women for “rape kits”.
Sarah Palin NEVER charged a single women for a police “rape kit”. But it didn’t matter to the left. They went ahead and pushed this story because the truth doesn’t matter to liberals.
Feelings are the only thing that matters. And liberals hated Palin. So lying was justified.
Today, liberals are lying about water boarding. (Because they feel that it is torture.) So, liberals believe that they have a right to lie about it.
But a lie is a lie. (It doesn’t matter if you think that you are on the “right side.”)
Sheik Mohammed was water boarded 5 times during the month in question.
When they water board a terrorist, they do not just pour one cup of water on the guys head and send him back to his cell. They continue to pour water on him until he begins to struggle. They continue to pour water on the terrorist until he talks, or the doctor says: enough.
The figure: 183, represents the number of times water was poured on his head. NOT the number of times Mohammed was water boarded.
The left doesn’t tell you that.
Progressives pick the high number, bend the truth, and toss it out there as a fact.
But it is all based on a lie.
Oh, and by the way; yes they did try peaceful methods of questioning on all terrorists. They only resorted to enhanced interrogation after peaceful methods no longer worked.
“…Winston Churchill did not resort to torture..”
Well, that is not exactly true.
Churchill probably didn’t bother to pour a bucket of water on a Nazi’s head. More to the truth, the British probably place a gun to the Nazi’s head and said: “Tell us what you know, or you are dead..”When you have the enemies bombs dropping on your beloved city of London, on a nightly basis; you are not so concerned with the creature comforts of your enemy.
President Obama has proved to me that he doesn’t pay much attention to his staff members paying their taxes.
President Obama has proved that he doesn’t write, pratice, or learn his own speeches. Because when the Teleprompter screws up, Obama is lost.
Obama doesn’t seem to control what happens with presidential equipment. (Air Force One “buzzing” New York City.)
And President Obama has proved to me that he never studied Winston Churchill’s WW1 escapades.
Winston Churchill (plus) pouring water on a terrorists head (equals) torture..??
Ha… Ha… You are one funny guy, Barack Obama..!!
The words of Sir Winston Churchill: “..One ought NEVER to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and WITHOUT FLINCHING, you will reduce the danger by half..”Flinching- is the KEY word in that statement.
Flinch- to avoid through fear or anxiety.
Progressives are afraid to interrogate these terrorists because they FEAR that they will be seen as mean, or ruff, or uncivilized. Liberals have anxiety that the “rest of the world” will look down on them.
But that is precisely what Churchill was warning of: “Flinching.”
You MUST not hesitate during a war. You could double the danger, and the amount of people killed.
President Bush didn’t use enhanced interrogations to get his “rocks off.”
These technics were used to try and find out where other terrorist cells could be located inside the United States.
“…The outing of these two interrogation professionals on ABC News; placing their names and faces on TV, is exactly the same as the Valerie Plame case. Liberals should be outraged, and calling for an investigation into the Obama Administration on who leaked their names…”
This one is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.
That someone loyal to the democratic party has leaked out the names, faces, and addresses of the CIA contractors who designed the water boarding practice.
Remember how outraged the left was about Plame..??
Where are they now..??
Those same people should be hounding the Obama administration until we find out who did this.
It’s not going to happen, people.
The left didn’t give a rat’s ass about Ms. Plame. (Or they would be equally outraged with this current leak.) The left only cares about politics and power. The left doesn’t care about people like you and I who get stepped on by this administration.
I have been willing to give President Obama the time to prove that he can be “presidential.”
But that time is running out.
Obama’s political decisions (and endless speeches) are proving that he hasn’t become “presidential.” Barack Obama is still running for president and someone on your side needs to explain the job of the president to him.
This “attack” by the left has become personal. Even naming publicly; the people who did the water boarding. People who believed that they were doing their jobs to protect this country.
People who were promised secrecy.
The American left has betrayed this agreement for political gain.
President Obama MUST put a stop to this “circus” immediately, or he will pay the price.
As I write this, CIA and FBI agent’s morale is dropping. They no longer feel that they can do their jobs. They fear that anything that they do can be prosecuted by some future liberal. I do not blame any CIA agent who drops out and enters private security.
This is how the intelligence community erodes. This is how America gets attacked.
We get attacked NOT because the terrorists get smarter. (Come on, 19 guys with box cutters taking over 4 planes is not a master plan..??)
We get attacked because America gets dumber. Our CIA gets blinded by the left’s restrictions placed on them.
In conclusion:
I would like to build on a couple of statements made by Bernard Goldberg and Dennis Miller.
Bernard Goldberg: “..I am against enhanced interrogations 99.9 percent of the time. I am against ET’s for jaywalkers. I am against ET’s for theft. However, if you have a terrorist in jail, and he knows of a bomb that could kill thousands of Americans, then I am for it..”I agree with Bernard. A president MUST keep this option available. We do not want to “torture” people for the hell of it. However, we must have this option to save American lives.
Dennis Miller: “..Liberals are being disingenuous. I mean; are they really saying that they could live with themselves knowing that a school filled with children BLEW UP because they refused to pour water on Sheik Mohammad’s face..?? How could they wake up that next morning..?? Would they really pat themselves on the back and say: ‘ Oh well, the American kids are all dead. But at least we didn’t get the Sheik’s hairy backside wet..”People on the left who believe that water boarding is torture…
Just because you, or some retired FBI agents claim that water boarding is torture, doesn’t mean that it is.
That is for an American court to decide.
If federal judges want to claim that water boarding is not a method for us to use in the future, I will go along with that. Because we have other methods.
If you want to investigate whether President Bush was justified to use this method? That is fine, I am all for that. (Because we plan on investigating President Obama in the future. And Obama’s record isn’t that great right now.)
But if you are trying to say that America can never use enhanced interrogations for ANY REASON…
I, and millions of Americans will fight you on this.
It is uncivilized to allow thousands of Americans to die because you are afraid to pour a bucket of water on someone’s head.
“..I realize that Sen. Specter will never be a ‘rubber stamp’ for the democratic party, nor will he agree with all of my administrations decisions…”
Barack Obama; you got that right..!!
Having lived in Pennsylvania for most of Arlen Specter senate time, I can tell you that Specter WILL NEVER agree with any party; all the time.
In some cases, this could be viewed as a GOOD thing. I, myself, do not always see eye to eye with the republican party.
However, in Specter’s case, “it wasn’t always a GOOD thing..”
Like when most republicans were getting ready to impeach President Clinton; Arlen Specter was lecturing on European law as reasons NOT TO impeach Clinton.
(Do we live in Europe, Arlen..??)
When MOST republicans had turned away from the spending / stimulus bill; Specter signed on and made speeches in favor of them.
There are so many, many more examples, but let me just say this…
Here in Pennsylvania; we have always felt that Specter represented the liberal / moderate voters in the eastern (Philadelphia) side of the state.
Travel just a couple hundred miles west of Philadelphia, and you have millions of conservatives who own farms, small business, oil well services, etc. We never felt that Specter had our interests in mind.
“So, why was Specter supported by Pennsylvania republicans, all these years, if you didn’t feel that he represented you..??”
Simple…
Because (the republican): Arlen Specter, could BEAT the democrats in every election. (Year after year; for decades.)
I can’t speak for every Pennsylvanian, but many of us felt that his senate seat could easily go to the democrats. Arlen Specter could beat all democratic challengers, election after election.
“It was better to have a ‘part-time’ republican in that seat, than a ‘full-time’ democrat..”
That explains why many of us republicans supported Specter, all these years. (Including myself, however; I did vote for Toomey in the last election and had planned on voting for Toomey again in 2010.) Toomey- Specter’s republican challenger.
Really, this is “much to do about nothing.”
Yes, I understand that this is a “big pat on the back for democrats.” And democrats should take it that way..!!
If a prominent democrat switched to the republican party, I would be high-lighting it as well.
However, in reality, when you pull away the “party atmosphere”, Specter has always been a “headache” for the republican party.
Now Specter will be a “headache” for the democrats.
Just when you need that “one vote” to tip things into your favor; Specter votes the wrong way. (I know, I am speaking from experience.)
I will give you one quick example:
Arlen Specter is NOT in favor of having hearings on Bush administration officials over “so- called” torture of detainees.
Specter is against hearings on “enhanced interrogations.” (Specter said so in an interview just this past Monday.) So he will not vote with the far left, who are seeking the revenge of Bush.
When you look at it; not much has changed. We still have a guy that “might” vote with us. Or he might vote against us. It doesn’t really matter whether he has a “D” in front of his name, or an “R”.
“..So what is the BIG deal..!!”
Arlen Specter was pissed off at the republican party.
Specter was pissed because the RNC was backing Pat Toomey for Specter’s senate seat. Pat Toomey was ahead of Specter by double digits. (Hell, Toomey was ahead of Specter BEFORE Toomey even said that he would run.)
Specter: who wants to end his senate career with a big fan fare, trumpets blowing, and free chicken dinners for everybody; Specter didn’t want to end his LONG senate career LOSING to a “nobody” republican (Toomey) in the primaries…
So, Specter said: “Screw you, all you republicans that backed me, all those years..”
Specter said: “..I’m getting my free chicken dinners and trumpets. President Obama,VP Joe Bidden, and Gov. Ed Rendel will make sure that I will keep my senate seat..”
Specter said: “..Screw you republicans, I don’t need you anymore. I will retire from the senate on my own terms. I don’t need your little votes..”
Yes, the democrats have won themselves a prize..!!
But is it really a prize..??
Would Arlen Specter favor the Obama administrations decision to fly Air Force One low over New York City, without telling anyone, and scare the SHIT out of everyone in New York City..??
No…
Specter is not that stupid.
Will Arlen Specter vote with the democrats on issues like health care, gay marriage, and hearings on the Bush interrogations methods..??
Democrats would have better odds if they flipped a coin, than counting on Specter to support them.

(Note) For Obama’s next “photo op”; instead of flying a plane low over New York City and scaring everyone. Obama plans on having a large tanker truck drive through DC. This tanker truck will have the radioactive “skull and crossbones” symbol on the side of it. And driving the tanker truck will be an Arab man who is yelling: “Death to America..”
That will make a nice photo, for the president, of Americans running for their lives..!!
