Dr. Ron Paul, ex United States Congressman and superhero to Paulestinians everywhere, ran 2 horrendous Presidential campaigns in the last several years. His polling numbers were dismal, yet his drooling groupies insist that the "system" is rigged to keep independents like Dr. Paul from winning a Presidential campaign.
The only thing more pathetic than this whining came from Dr. Paul himself, on Twitter:
Sad....
Another "Disney kid" has walked away from Walt Disney's advice about maintaining some sense of class and modesty.
Just check out the new cover page of Cosmopolitan Magazine, and you'll see Miley Cyrus, daughter of country singer Billy Ray, and former star of the Disney show "Hannah Montana", dressed (and I use that term loosely) and posing with all the charm and class of a prostitute.
A lot of kids grew up singing Hannah Montana songs, buying her CD's and seeing her movies.
Look at their former role model now.
Would you want YOUR kid featured on a magazine cover looking like her? I'm not going to dignify this tomfoolery by posting a link. Google it for yourself.
It's disappointing.
Go ahead, call me a prude, but all I see here is another celebrity ego on overdrive, who will be looking forward to the drug problems, failed marriages, and fatherless children that seem to be trademarks of Hollywood.
The late Helen Gurley Brown, founder of Cosmopolitan, was considered a progressive feminist. I wonder if she truly intended for her magazine to showcase women as ditzy, scantily-clad boy toys.
Wasn't this the kind of sterotype Ms. Brown tried to destroy?
Boy, how time does change things, and all for the sake of the Almighty Dollar.
'Nuff said.
My fellow Americans,
Contrary to what gun owners say about me, I am not against private gun ownership.
To aid all Americans in participating in their 2nd Amendment rights, I propose a new program.
Anybody who wishes to own a firearm will be given a musket, paid for by your government. Instructions for its proper use will be provided.
Government approved black powder will be available for 100 dollars an ounce.
Traditional lead musket balls are environmentally unsafe. Musket balls of a government approved material will be available for 10 dollars apiece.
All proceeds from the sale of black powder and musket balls will be used for gang violence abatement and birth control education programs.
I believe now that my administration has come up with a compromise on gun ownership that is satisfactory in meeting the intent of the Founding Fathers when they wrote the 2nd Amendment.
Thank you for your cooperation.
--President Barack Obama
The Democrats would be the first to scream if the Republicans politicized the Hurricane sanday disaster, but when one of their own does it, as did New Jersey State Senator Stephen Sweeney....
...NO PROBLEM. Read about it here.
As usual, Liberal Democrats exist in a universe beyond reproach.
More's the pity.
President Obama was re-elected because people are convinced they will get "stuff" and it will be subsidized by the rich.
After all, the Democrats are of the mindset that wealthy, successful people owe something to the rest of us.
We contributed something towards "infrastructure", and in return Joe Rich Guy should pay for our kids' college educations.
See how it works?
Fork it over, rich guys! Your success is our meal ticket!
Mao Zedong would be proud of President Obama.
'Nuff said.
This Week's Democratic National Convention symbolized what a once-great political party has become:
That is, the strained support of our President, who has gotten everything he wanted, yet hasn't affected our dismal economy in a positive way.
President Obama got a Stimulus bill passed without a single Republican vote in the House, and only 3 in the Senate (this is what Democrats call "bipartisan"), which was supposed to create jobs and jump-start the economy though expensive government projects. We're still at over 8% unemployment and now power-diving deeper into debt, thanks to this bill, which appears to have mostly benefited teachers' salaries and pensions. I have a blog that deals with the government waste this program subsidizes.
President Obama got his "Obamacare" healthcare bill passed, which puts the United States on track to single payer or Universal Healthcare, despite what Obama's defenders will tell you. He accomplished this through an end-run around the will of the people with the Congressional "reconcilation" process, because 2/3rds of the American people wanted Obama to focus on economic recovery FIRST, before strapping the country down to an expensive new entitlement program. No Republicans voted for Obamacare, which in the meantime has effectively slowed down the expansion of small to medium sized businesses who aren't sure what burdens they'll be forced to take on due this massive government takeover of healthcare.
Barack Obama has suggested that Mitt Romney isn't ready to deal with international politics, when Obama was elected with NO foreign policy experience, and has made blunder after embarrassing blunder on the international stage.
Sorry, Mr. President, but there are other threats to us besides Al Qaeda, and Vladimir Putin's sword rattling deserves some concern. Our relationship with the former USSR is strained, and you don't seem to get it. Also, the fact that you have snubbed Israel and think that tossing them a little foreign aid will placate them is just plain stupid on your part. The world buys a lot of its energy from the Middle east and Israel represents an island of stability in a sea of political unrest. It's plain that your concern for Israel is only for securing the liberal Jewish voter bloc.
Obama's funniest moment at the DNC was when he said, "You didn't elect me to tell what you wanted to hear, you elected me to tell you the truth."
So, what was the purpose of the big "pillar speech" in Colorodo, Mr. Obama, when you told us "we are the people we've been waiting for", and your election will mark the time when the "oceans began to rise"?
Obama said that if he couldn't reduce the deficit by one half he was a "one term proposition".
Obama promised "shovel-ready projects" and then admitted "they weren't as shovel-ready as we thought", to the sound of chuckling over his admission.
Are you admitting, Mr. President, that you're just another professional "say anything to get elected" politician?
It's 3 1/2 years into Obama's 1st term, and he's been campaigning for the last year or so. When recently asked about how Obama would grade his own performance, he responded with "an incomplete".
I'm sorry, Mr. President, but think back to your college days. If you had handed an incomplete assignment to one of your professors, that would have been counted as a "fail".
I didn't need to watch much of the DNC, because it was entirely predictable. I knew it was going to be 3 nights of repeating the same boring worn-out Obama talking points, embellishment of Obama's so-called "accomplishments", and the lame mock-and-ridicule tactics that the Democrats use in place of an actual record to run on.
And then when you couple that with the moving of the outdoor arena speech back to the indoor venue, you get a recipe for disappointment. You know, I haven't heard any mention of whether or not the DNC is going to refund the ticket money to the people that got shut out. How much do you want to bet those ticket holders are out of luck?
"Sorry, Charlie, you just made a donation to the Chosen One."
The most pathetic moment was bringing on their favorite has-been, Bill Clinton, who stands as living proof that Democrats have few, if any, morals. Only the Democrats would make a god out of a draft-dodging philandering liar who plea-bargained his fanny out of civil trials his last day in office. Bill Clinton is an absolute disgrace to the presidency, yet he is still worshiped by the Democrats as if he were divine. It was truly disgusting to watch Bill Clinton wiggle that crooked finger of his as he spoke... the same crooked finger he used when he said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."
The other truly laughable moment was EX-governor Granholm mocking Romney's car elevator in defense of Obama's GM bailout, (which looks like may wind up in a bankruptcy filing anyway). Is a car elevator really a political issue? Maybe somebody needs to remind the former governor of one of the most economically depressed states in the country that at least a car elevator means a job or 2.
Obama? Same old tired crap. By his own standards in 2008, he's failure, but we still need to "stay the course"... we've come so far, we can't turn around when we're so close to driving off the cliff!
I knew it was going to be a freaking circus, which is why I chose to watch the football season opener. I wonder if "Honey Boo-Boo" drew a bigger audience than old Mr. Wigglefinger. At least she's cute and fresh, vs. a tired old windbag with a voice like an out-of-tune bagpipe. What's funnier is that his wife wasn't even there to cheer her old man on.
THAT speaks volumes about Bill Clinton and his fading celebrity status.
And it says even more about the shrill Cirque Du Stupide that was the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
Now the Democratic National Convention has gone overboard in its Barack Obama Lovefest with a funky looking sand sculpture of the POTUS that will greet everyone as they come to the convention:
