Go Get 'Em, Jim!

Jim Bunning, the Senator from Kentucky, is getting the typical knee-jerk reactionary heat from the Angry Left today, who are accusing him of NOT wanting to extend unemployment benefits via Senate Resolution, but the problem is:

It's all a bald-faced lie.

Bunning just wants to decide how the benefits will be PAID: if he has his preference, it will be from unspent "Stimulus" funds, instead of being an open-ended deal that will allow Congress to INCREASE the already exploding deficit.

That's it. But since Jim won't "play nice" the "just shut up and sign" Democrat way, the Libs are running to their favorite media outlets and blogs, and spewing bile. Gee, what else is new?

As usual, the Liberal Democrats just don't get it. On top of that, they're accusing Bunning of filibustering, even though he hasn't started a filibuster.

Here's what else the Dems won't tell you, straight from Michelle Malkin's blog:

“Temporary” Extended Unemployment Benefits?

History Tells a Different Story

The House on January 29, 2008 passed a bipartisan economic stimulus bill that did NOT include provisions to extend unemployment benefits. However, the Senate Finance Committee (SFC) has decided to add a “temporary” extension of unemployment benefits to its version of this legislation.

But does “temporary” really mean this program will operate only “through the end of 2008,” as the legislation’s proponents suggest? Looking back at the history books reveals a different story – of past “temporary” unemployment benefit programs that were repeatedly extended, operating for years and costing tens of billions of dollars more than originally expected.

Unemployment benefit program 1991-1994
Original proposed program length: 8 months
Original estimated cost $7 billion
Actual length: 29 months
Actual cost: $39 billion
Number of extensions: 5
Unemployment rate at start of program: 7 percent
U rate at end: 6.4 percent

Unemployment benefit program 2002-2004
Original proposed program length: 10 months
Original estimated cost $9 billion
Actual length: 29 months
Actual cost: $26 billion
Number of extensions: 2
Unemployment rate at start of program: 5.7 percent
U rate at end: 5.8 percent

Unemployment benefit program 2008
Original proposed program length: 11 months
Original estimated cost $10 billion
Actual length: ? months
Actual cost: ? billion
Number of extensions: ?
Unemployment rate at start of program: 5 percent
U rate at end: ?

1. SFC documents suggest the “temporary” extended unemployment benefits program would operate only through CY 2008 and cost $10 billion. But these sorts of programs never work out that way.

a. CRS reports that no “temporary” extended benefits program created since 1970 has expired without being extended.

b. Programs created in the 1980s and 1990s were extended 6 and 5 times, respectively.

c. The prospects a temporary program created today will expire at the end of 2008 as the SFC proposes – with the window of eligibility shutting two days after Christmas – is both dubious and would be without precedent in the last generation.

2. Even if it operated only as long as the “average” program created since 1980, a “temporary” program created now will be paying extended benefits in mid 2010.

a. The average duration of extended benefits programs created since 1980 is 30 months.

b. If a program started in February 2008 and paid benefits for 30 months, the final payments would be made in July 2010.

c. The total cost of such a program would likely be $30 billion or more.

3. If prior extended benefits programs began when the national unemployment rate was as low as 5.0%, these “temporary” programs would have operated for decades.

a. The U.S. unemployment rate was 5.0% or higher in every month between January 1974 and April 1997 – more than 23 years in a row.

b. Today’s 5.0% rate is below the average of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

c. During the Clinton Administration (1993-2000), the average unemployment rate was 5.2%.

d. According to a 2007 report by the Congressional Budget Office, today’s 5.0% unemployment rate is the same as the “natural rate” CBO will use “both currently and for the 10-year projection period through 2017.” Put another way, according to CBO today’s unemployment rate is “normal” not “high.”

e. Creating an extended benefits program now will create a precedent to repeat this action every time the unemployment rate reaches this historically modest level. That will cost billions of dollars and encourage more and longer unemployment.


That's right, kids, Bunning is trying to put a stop to this endless cycle of unemployment benefits, which costs the taxpayers megatons of money and destroys American productivity.

Liberal Democrats, in the meantime, are just putting another band-aid on a bullet hole and bawling like babies because they're not interested in the Big Picture.

Besides, the Dems are just spending more of everybody else's money.

Isn't that what they do best?

I think it's time to put a stop to the Dems' favorite hobby, and get behind Jim Bunning. For once, somebody in Congress is having a moment of clarity.

What MSNBC really stands for

MSNBC, the lowest rated cable news network, is well known for its Left-leaning content and such 'fair and balanced' commentators as Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann, the latter a former OK sportscaster turned mediocre political pundit.

MSNBC has been lowest in the ratings among news networks for some time, making lots of people wonder why NBC keeps this channel going, since it's obvious NBC is losing lots of money to keep MSNBC afloat.

Perhaps NBC needs to change the name of the network, since I recently saw this definition for the MSNBC acronym:

Must Show Nothing But Crap.

I'm still laughing over that one.

Thanks, Igor

Igor from Kazakhstan: a real American from elsewhere

By now, you may be familiar with Igor, whom America met on "Undercover Boss", a reality TV show in which corporate executives go "undercover" and meet their employees.

Joe DePinto, CEO of the 7-11 convenience store chain, rode around with Igor, who drives a delivery truck for 7-11 on the Graveyard Shift.

Igor impressed DePinto and charmed America with his gratefulness and optimism, even though all he does is deliver sandwiches and food to the stores on his route.

"You don't how lucky you are", Igor said to DePinto. "I'm so blessed."

Igor is right. We DON'T know how lucky we are not to live in a country where there's no employment and no economy capable of creating such, where stores have no food, where you never know if you'll have a warm bed and a hot meal every day.

Yet we have people that were BORN in this country who believe that they're entitled to "free" college, "free" healthcare, "free" abortions, "free" public transportation... all because they've been indoctrinated into believing these things are guaranteed "rights" under some nebulous concept called "Social Justice".

Igor hit the nail on the head. Even in this rotten depressed economy, we're blessed. We're not torn apart by war, we have plenty of food and shelter, we don't have people starving to death in our streets. We have government agencies and numerous private charities to help the poor and destitute. We're not a perfect country, but we're still a representative republic and not a military dictatorship. We have the means to fix our ills because everybody can participate in the solution.

People like Igor don't come to America with any expectations other than the opportunity to take care of themselves. Just give Igor a chance, and let him run with it.

American Liberals love to moan about the U.S.A. because it hasn't been molded to fit their idea of Utopia. But if you ask a guy like Igor, he'll tell you, compared to where he came from, America IS Utopia.

I heard some liberal caller on a radio talk show whine about how it isn't saying much when you compare America to Kazakhstan.

That caller was WRONG. It's saying A LOT when, even in this crazy world economic situation, AMERICA is the still considered to be the Land Of Opportunity.

Igor is right, We're spoiled.

God bless America.

And God bless YOU, Igor.

Okay, So It's a Little Vulgar, But It Makes a Point...

Rules for the Non-Military

Dear Civilians,

We know that the current state of affairs in our great nation has many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military.

For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas where we would like your assistance:

1. The next time you see any adults talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem - kick their ass.

2.. When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American Flag in protest - kick their ass.

3. Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down while a disabled veteran kicks their ass.

4. If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDUs) or Jungle Fatigues, telling others that you used to be 'Special Forces'.

Collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been okay when you were seven years old, now, it will only make you look stupid and get your ass kicked.

5. Next time you come across an *Air Force* member, do not ask them, 'Do you fly a jet?' Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass-kicking (children are exempt).

6. If you witness someone calling the *US Coast Guard* 'non-military', inform them of their mistake - and kick their ass.

7. Next time Old Glory (the US flag) prances by during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart. Quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her - of course, failure to do either of those could earn you a severe ass-kicking.

9. 'Your mama wears combat boots' never made sense to me - stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a vet and therefore would kick your ass!

10. 'Flyboy' (*Air Force*), 'Jarhead' (*Marines*), 'Grunt' (*Army*), 'Squid' (*Navy*), 'Puddle Jumpers' (*Coast Guard*), etc., are terms of endearment we use describing each other. Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned the right to use them. Using them could get your ass kicked..

11. Last, but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends, please remember that there are literally thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our Country would get it's ass kicked.

'It's the Veteran, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.'

'It's the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.'

'It's the Veteran, not the community organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.'

'It's the Military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.'

WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!

IN GOD WE TRUST

Conservatives V. Liberals

From the Inter-Webs:

If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.
A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a black man or Hispanic are conservative, they see themselves as independently successful.

Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it’s a foreign religion, of course!)

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed.
If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.

If a conservative reads this [in his email], he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

Another Fine Example of Liberal Hypocrisy

Lame Cartoon Program 'Family Guy' Jumps The Shark

The wonderful "inclusive" left... even in the Entertainment Industry, just LOVEs to attack Conservatives over their sacred cows, basically RACE and HOMOSEXUALITY... but it seems that bigotry and ridicule are A-O-K when directed at the mentally handicapped, as long as you're pretending to bash Sarah Palin.

The cartoon program 'Famly Guy' hit a new low when it made a lousy jab at Sarah Palin by using a woman with Down Syndrome as a tool for ridicule.

In the 1990's this very same Entertainment Industry gave us Forrest Gump, a man with a sub-normal IQ who charmed us with his compassion, generosity, and unfailing optimism, and broke our hearts when he told the love of his life, "I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is."

Now we have the President's Chief of Staff calling people '"effin' retards" and TV shows like 'Family Guy' making fun of people with Down Syndrome.

Thanks for showing us your true colors once more, O Liberal Left. Take a bow for hypocrisy's sake.

When You Can't Defend Policy, Blame Cheney and SPIN!

From the U.K. Guardian:

Vice president Joe Biden accuses predecessor Dick Cheney of 'rewriting history and misrepresenting facts'

White House number two responds to the latest anti-Obama tirade from Bush cabinet hawk

Andrew Clark in New York guardian.co.uk, Monday 15 February 2010

"It was billed as the battle of the vice-presidents. Joe Biden today accused his predecessor, Dick Cheney, of rewriting history, misrepresenting facts and making "factually, substantively wrong" assertions as the White House lost patience with the Bush administration's hawkish second-in-command. "

"In a stream of vitriolic assaults Cheney has become by far the most outspoken alumnus of the Bush era, repeatedly complaining that the US has gone soft on terror. "


Let's look at some of the so-called "vitriolic assaults" Cheney is accused of:

...Declaring himself "very nervous and very upset" by the direction of policy, Cheney said he was unhappy with the Obama administration's "mindset" of treating terror suspects as mere criminals, rather than as enemy combatants engaged in a war against the US.

Wow! What vitriol!

...And he attacked the possibility of one of the masterminds of the World Trade Centre attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, being tried in New York, as a "big mistake".

"Big mistake"! Man, those must be "harsh words" to feel-good Leftists like Andrew Clark. Dick Cheney is such a meanie!

"Ramping up his assault, Cheney suggested that the Obama administration was trying to claim unfair credit for bringing the war in Iraq to a close: "It ought to go with a healthy dose of 'thank you George Bush'."

Heaven forbid the Obama Adminstration should thank George W. Bush for anything, except providing Obama with a scapegoat for his own incompetence!

..."The biggest strategic threat the US faces today is the possibility of another 9/11 with a nuclear weapon or a biological weapon," said the 69-year-old veteran Republican.

"If the mindset is it's not likely, then it's difficult to mobilise resources and get people to give it the priority it deserves."

What a low, below-the-belt attack! How could anybody be critical of the President? It's just plain un-American, unless you're a Lefty bashing Bush.

"Reluctant to rise to Cheney's bait, the White House adopted a respectful tone in responding to his remarks for many months."

After attacking the Bush Administration repeatedly on the War On Terror all during President Obama's election campaign. Payback sucks, doesn't it?

"...People close to Cheney say he is motivated by a genuine concern that the Obama administration is weak on security. But liberal blogger Andrew Sullivan, a former editor of the New Republic, suggested this week that his position is defensive: "He knows justice is coming, and he knows that one day the full truth will come out and there will be no hiding. Until then, he will fight and fight and break every taboo that respect for the constitution and for civil discourse requires."

Liberals everywhere have been salivating over the idea of exacting revenge on Bush and Cheney by dragging both of them up before a world court on war crimes charges. Time and time again, Left-Wingers haver shown a preference for punishing Bush and Cheney over keeping the U.S. safe from terrorism. In the eye of the hard-core American Liberal, terrorists who plant land mines in childrens' playgrounds are just frustrated victims of U.S./Israeli colonialism.

The real sad thing here is, why does ANYBODY listen to Biden the Human Gaffe Machine? Did he really think his parroted banter about drones and killing Al-Qaeda leadership excuses the fact that 2 Nigerians managed to get onto American airliners carrying explosive materials?

If President Obama was smart, he would have chosen a more streetwise Veep. The man needs to have a nice cup of Shut-Up.

In the meantime, the Obama Adminsistration's handling of terroists is a lesson in bungling, and all Obama's people can do is try to deflect blame by firing at Dick Cheney.

Full Speed Backward!

One year into the Obama Administration's so-called "leadership" of the U.S., and now the President is calling for an all-out effort to "create jobs" because millions are out of work and suffering.

Duh!

Last time I checked, this was a problem LAST year as well. But President Obama INSISTED that his dream of healthcare reform needed to be passed, because it was the Number One problem that was affecting the U.S. economy, NOT joblessness, not business failures, not the "credit crunch" brought on when the housing market tanked and a million homes were vacated due to foreclosures.

According to our elitist President, the REAL problem Americans faced was the possibility of going bankrupt due to a catastrophic illness.

Uh, Earth to Planet Democrat:

Why in the heck would people be worried about losing their nest eggs to catastrophic illnessess, when so many people LOST their nest eggs when they lost their jobs, or their businesses failed due to a loss of paying customers?

Now President Obama is inadvertently admitting that he "gets it"? That now he understands what the public is concerned about? Or perhaps he's just doing anything he can to avoid being the thing he doesn't want to be remembered as: a lousy one term President.

Unfortunately, Obama's constant bumbling may have already sealed his fate.

We can only hope.

A Craigslist Liberal in Need of a Diaper Change

I have lots of liberal enemies thanks to Craigslist Rants and Raves. Here's a nice example of one who found my blog. This diatribe speaks for itself.

"THANKS to whoever it was that posted Nugget head's picture and blog info. It's downloaded and up on my dartboard as we speak, lol.... "

"I'm GLAD your petty, senseless diatribes finally got identified and attached to a face (such as it is), you marginally-capable hypocrite. Your childish blog is a perfect example of a hateful hypocrite who doesn't have the fucking balls to talk openly about all your petty one-sided misgivings about humanity that you, in your deluded self-righteous pseudo-religious haze believe your "god" entitles you to spew.....JUNIOR. "

"You're SICK, Nugget Head JONES. BIG TIME. "

(I'll bet he wrote that with a straight face, too!)

"I feel SORRY for your wife and kids. I really f****** do. I'm sure it's your WIFE that wears the pants in the family and keeps you in LINE....which would explain your emasculated nutless ramblings that much like a children's book, paint the Democratic party as villains, and your precious war-loving, 5 trillion dollar debt spending, economy destroying, constitution eroding republican party as the saints. "

"You Nutless, Deluded F***. "

"I ENJOY knowing that you now have to scan this board EVERY DAY to see if your picture got posted again...knowing that even YOU KNOW how hateful and distasteful your jaundiced opinions are to the segment of general public with an intact BRAIN STEM. You KNOW that you are a hateful bitch that needs to HIDE...behind your BIBLE, your COMPUTER, your wifey's SKIRT, the abuse at cl folks, and god knows what else. "

"You're truly pathetic. Just stay in your little computer room and beat on your laptop for your little moronic blog that no one but your damaged, bigoted hypocrite friends gives a flying f*** about. Type away day and night for all I care. You ain't gonna change f****** NOTHING."

"YEAH BABY".....LOL!!!!!!!!!! "


You just can't buy entertainment like this. Now you can see for yourself the pathological anger and absolute hatred Liberal Democrats have for ANYBODY that doesn't goose-step to the march being played by Democratic Party.

This Craigslist nutbag shouldn't be allowed to eat with metal cutlery, for his own personal safety.

There's a commercial on TV for GameFly, a video game rental service, where you see people throwing child-like tantrums. This guy from Craigslist reminds me of that commercial. I'll chuckle every time that thing shows up on the tube.

'Nuff said. I know he'll be logging on reading this new entry. Bon appetit!

Craigslist a "secure" site? Uhhhh, right...

It appears some Nugget-Head on the Craigslist Rants & Raves Forum hacked my remail account, got my personal info, and posted it in R&R. My blogs are no secret, but I realized that keeping your address unlisted with your local phone service provider doesn't keep you off of Whitepages-dot-com.

This jackass posted a link to my address complete with a map.

I don't have any problem with being attacked on my blogs, but I've previously had several emails from some Left-Wing Craiglist nutcase named Robert Paul, demanding my address so that he could "introduce my family to his Glock".

I have a wife and children, and although 99% of what you read in a Craigslist forum is BS, I don't take death threats lightly, and therefore I immediately reported the revealing of my address by this other clown to CL Admin (as if that will mean much).

My advice to you, O reader, is to create an account on WhitePages-dot-com, hunt down your information, and delete it from their database. Whitepages is a quick way to find someone, and their robots capture your information and display it for anybody unless you block it. Intelius, PeopleSearch, and other services won't give you much info about anyone unless you pay them for it.

The other thing I suggest is linking a Craigslist user account to a throwaway email account like Yahoo, and not your primary ISP email box.

This is the kind of crap Lefties pull when you flush their logic down the toilet in an open debate forum. Be prepared for this kind of shenanigans.

If Obama Was An Airline Pilot

"Good afternoon! This is your pilot, Captain Obama!"

"Miraculously, our flight has pulled out of the tailspin it went into due to circumstances beyond my control. I'm not quite sure how that happened, but I'm happy to take the credit for leveling the plane out, regardless. If you're still feeling queasy, please don't hesitate to ask for an Application Form for a TARP Airsick Bag. The form is in triplicate, so be sure to write firmly and legibly. Keep the pink copy for yourself. Your requests will be reviewed and processed in a timely manner by our Review Board."

"I'm happy to report that we are now in level flight at an altitude of 2 feet over Seal Level, and only 3 of our 4 engines are on fire. Although we are only 1 hour into our 4 hour flight, we've wasted nearly all of our fuel, and we have no way of repairing our other 3 ruined engines, I am confident that we will reach our destination nonetheless. I have decided therefore to change course. My Co-Pilot, Mrs. Pelosi, and my Navigator, Mr. Reid, assure me that we will reach our destination in spite of any calculations to the contrary made by any of you passengers. Remember, we know this aircraft better than you, so stop listening to everybody else, shut up, and just let us do our jobs."

If you wish to lodge a complaint, however, a form is available, and once completed, will be forwarded to Republican Airlines, who were maintaining this aircraft up to the moment I stepped onboard. Although both Democrat and Republican Airlines use the same flight mechanics, we at Democrat are much better at making sure those mechanics do their jobs properly, as our Head of Maintenance, Mr. Barney Fudd, will attest to.

"Now relax and enjoy the rest of your flight. Our Flight Attendant, Hillary, will be serving Maddow's Kool-Aid, followed up by our in-flight meal of Acorn Soup. Our In-flight movie is "An Inconvenient Truth". Snore-Ease will be provided free of charge. We also have free reading materials, including "Dreams From My Father", by Bill Ayers, "It Takes A Village", by some nameless ghost writer, and Reverend Wright's Annotated White Hatred Bible. If we run out of toilet paper during the flight, we do have biodegradable copies of "Earth In The Balance" available for your use."

"Now that we have all that out of the way, sit down, shut up, and let us drive! Hopefully the other 3 engines will fix themselves, and we'll try to borrow some more fuel along the way. Anybody know how make one of these things fly on solar power?"

"We'll let you know when we're going to land, and we fully expect you will join us on another 4 hour flight as soon as this one is over!"

"Obama out!"

Queen of the Dimmitude

While the Left has another fit over Sarah Palin's new-found popularity, let's have a review of inane quotes by their beloved House Speaker:


Nancy Pelosi, Queen of the Dimmitude and 3rd in line to the Presidency:

"We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'."

Uh, Madam Speaker, last time I checked, according to that "living, breathing document" called 'TheConstitution', ILLEGAL ALIENS AREN'T AMERICANS... but you want to tax 401k plans to support them, anyway.


"I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels," she says. Natural gas "is cheap, abundant and clean compared to fossil fuels," she has also stated.

Natural gas IS a fossil fuel. DOH!


"Every week we don't pass a Stimulus package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs.''

Boy, our country is more densely populated than I thought!


"First Bush cut taxes for the rich and the economy has rebounded with new record low unemployment rates, which only means wealthy employers are getting even wealthier at the expense of the underpaid working class."

In other words, stimulating the economy and creating NON-gubmint jobs is a BAD thing, right Madam Speaker?


"It is a decision of the Supreme Court. So this is almost as if God has spoken."

Only better, right Madam Speaker?


"The war on terror is the war in Afghanistan"

Then why is it called the Afghanistan War?


"Congressman Murtha has enjoys an excellent reputation in the Congress on both sides of the aisle."

And I just saw pigs flying in formation.


On Abortion:

"As an ardent practicing Catholic, uh, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition, and, uh, Senator -- uh, I'm -- Senator -- Uh, St. Augustin' (sic) said at three months.

An "ardent, practicing Catholic" and she isn't even familiar with the Church's staunch pro-life stand?


On Universal Healthcare

"I think it is pretty clear that we want a strong public option in the legislation. Insurance companies full force carpet-bombing and shock and awe against the public option -- so much so that the American people doubt the plan or are uncertain about it, until you tell them what is in it."

You're right, Madam Speaker, when the American FINALLY learned what's in the bill, there was no more doubt... 80% of them now HATE it.


"I think they’re Astroturf… You be the judge. "They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare."

BULL... there weren't any people carrying swastikas. It was a bald-faced lie.


"The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, To minister to the needs of Gods creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us. On this Earth Day, and every day, let us pledge to our children, and our childrens children, that they will have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature."

THERE IS NO SUCH QUOTE in the Bible. The "ardent, practicing Catholic" needs to go back to Sunday School.


"The gavel of the speaker of the House is in the hands of special interests, and now it will be in the hands of America’s children."

Spoiled, stupid, elitist children, I might add.


"I don’t know about ‘trust’ — I think I’m trusted," she said. "I certainly want to be trusted. I’m not particularly concerned if I’m liked."

NEWS FLASH, Madam Speaker... people generally don't trust people they hate. Derrrrr.....

A Lesson In Liberal Media

A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'

The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.' The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?' The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S.Marine and a Republican.'

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

U.S.MARINE-BIKER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

That pretty much sums up the liberal news media's approach to the news these days.

Democrat Hypocrisy On Parade

So, once again, the Obama Adminstration is bashing Wall Street and bankers as greedy fatcats, and sending out the Pay Czar to make sure people in corporate America don't make "too much". In the meantime, the next spending bill being pushed through Congress will increase salary and benefits for PUBLIC employees at taxpayer expense.

Wonderful: before the spending bill, one person in the Transportation Department made more than 170 grand base salary. With the bill, over 1,000 of them will. And that's just one example. We're still stinging over the revelation that Senator Max Baucus was approving pay raises of 14,000.00 or more to his staff members. Remember, Federal Employees also get their own retirement fund and they don't pay into Social Insecurity.

WE PRIVATE EMPLOYEES, on the other hand, are dealing with pay free freezes or cuts to avoid layoffs, and the Gub-Mint is looking to TAX our benefits, including our privately-funded healthcare, as PAY. We, who worked hard building careers so that we could qualify to be employed by companies that provide better pay and benefits, get to be robbed even more to pay for salary increases for Max Baucus' staff members, who were well-paid BEFORE they got raises.

"B-b-b-b-b-b-ut these people are PUBLIC SERVANTS!"

So are military personnel, and they got a measly 5%, which Barbara Boxer brags about constantly to her constituents, while she gets an instant 4,000.00 increase, even though her husband is rich.

Tell the Chosen One to GET HIS HANDS OFF OUR PAY. If he's so concerned about the spending habits of banks and investment firms, STOP GIVING THEM TARP MONEY. Even after bailing out GM and Chrysler, they declared Chapter 11 anyway. Let the Private Sector clean up its own messes.

If the Democrats in Gub-Mint really want to get their house in order, tell them fire to Barney Frank, and then order Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac to STOP GUARANTEEING RISKY HOME LOANS.

GUB-MINT spending is still out of control. The Dems want to blame Bush, but place them in power, and you get a drunken sailors spending spree on social services and salaries for taxpayer-funded make-work jobs. The only difference between Big Gub-Mint and a drunken sailor is that the drunken sailor blows his own money.

Oh, boy... here come the windmills!

Pelosi's Trillion Dollar Christmas "Spirit"


SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI, D-CALIF.: "I'm confident — I'm hopeful that we will have a bill as a Christmas present to the American people."

So what is it, Nan? Are you "confident", or just hopeful? Can't make up your tiny mind as usual? Need a teleprompter?

Gee, when somebody "gives" you a present, do they usually ask you to pay for it? Kinda messes with that whole "giving" idea, doesn't it? Perhaps the Queen of the Dimmitude needs to look up the word "give" in her Funk and Wagnalls BEFORE she spouts off her ignorance in public.

On top of that, the majority of the people don't want this "gift", Nancy, at least in form you're offering it. So, what does that make your Obamacare? A trillion dollar white elephant.

This "gift" from the Democrats is like one of those "gifts" you get from somebody trying to sell you a vacation timeshare; you know, a condo in some place like Vegas, where you get to use the toilets 2 weeks out of the year. When you finally say "no" to the desperate salesperson 20 times, you get a "gift" for attending the presentation. However, this "gift" is usually something like a free 2-night stay at another timeshare resort, where you'll have to attend another presentation, and say "no" another 20 times, or they'll charge you for the stay. And you have pay for your own travel. Some "free gift", huh? What you're really holding in your hand is a practically worthless voucher, and the timeshare corporation knows it.

The same goes for Obamacare. You're told it's "free" until the IRS hands you the bill. But you DON'T get out of paying for it by attending a sales presentation. Your President and Congress already said "yes" for you.

Yeah, thanks, Nancy for blabbering your stupidity once more. It's been real enlightening.

So, How's That "Hopey-Changey" Thing Working?

Hey, Democrats!

I'm beginning to think your Pesident is the band leader on the Titanic. He's running around the country (in between Sundays on the golf course) and preaching that the biggest threat to our national economy is the rising cost of healthcare.

Uh, Mr. President, get a clue. The average joe isn't worried that he's going to be put under by a catastrophic illness. He's concerned about A CATASTROPHIC ECONOMY THAT IS SENDING PEOPLE TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE AND NOT CREATING JOBS.

At least President Bush wasn't trying to blow smoke up the public's wazoo about economic recovery, because businesses were recovering and people were working. Obama's "Hope and Change" seems to be a boon for people that don't like to work, anyway. Most people want to do better.

So, tell me, Democrats: what part of tripling the deficit is going to fix our economy, especially when most of that spending mandated by the Gub-mint is on itself?

Another Waste Of Time And Money... Of Course!


We're in a deep recession. The economy is stagnant. Jobs aren't being created. The Dow is losing value. People are pulling their life savings out of stocks while they still have something left.

Ask the average joe what concerns him, and he'll tell you it's the economy: whether he'll have a job, what's gas and food going to cost, who's going to own his mortgage next year, whether there will be available credit to keep his business functioning. The last thing on average joe's mind is the how and why of three murdering thugs getting water dumped on their heads in exchange for information.

So, instead of focusing all its energy on fixing the economic mess that's been created, the GUB-MINT is entertaining the idea of spending MILLIONS on an investigation tthat will serve only to satisfy the bloodlust of angry liberals, in their perpetual vendetta against the Bush Administration. Average joe's economy is in the crapper. Now the Justice Department is entertaining the idea of taking MORE of our deflating dollars and wasting them on placating the Noam Chomsky Leftists, who consider this kind of idiocy as some sort of laudable achievement.

If the Justice Dept. wants to investigate someone, how about BARNEY FRANK? It's about high time somebody hammered that arrogant, pickle-sucking jackass with an investigation and exposed all his dirty back-door deals to the public. The public deserves to know just what kind of payola that scumbag received while he was pressuring loan institutions to create the sub-prime loan mess that led to last year's credit liquidity crisis. Barney Frank should not only be recalled, he deserves to strung up by his heels.

Barney Frank is one of the architects of the current recession. If he were a private employee, he would have been fired. Instead, the Demotards placed that jerk on the Banking Committee, where he tries to roast the loan institutions for causing a disaster that he pressured them to create. It's takes DEMOCRATS to continually re-elect a horse's ass like BARNEY "BANKING QUEEN" FRANK.

Crap In Trade - The Energy Fiasco


You 've already seen the dire predictions by various pundits on what a debacle President Obama's Energy Plan is going to be. This kind of shenanigans continues in Washington because the people that vote the Democrat Ticket lack common sense. I'll explain.


The Obama Administration wants to levy substantial taxes on energy in order to create some kind of "green energy sector" that is somehow supposed to create jobs and eliminate the country's need for imported petroleum. When the Administration talks about about "green" or "renewable" energy sources, we're focusing on wind or solar generated power. The Administration's energy plan has no provisions for the developement of biofuels or nuclear power. There is also no provision for creating more hydroelectric or geothermal energy.


Now here's where the "common sense" part figures in.


How many solar panels or hydrogen fuel cells will it take to power an 18 wheel truck or a locomotive? Most of our petroleum is used fo power vehicles, like cars, or trucks and trains that haul most of this country's consumable goods.


How many diesel-burning locomotives or 18-wheelers will be taken off the roads by the Adminstration's Energy Plan? Or do we need to start growing our own food again?


Most of this nation's power plants are fueled by natural gas or coal. What kind of "clean" energy source will the Administration convert all these power plants to?


A single nuclear reactor can provide as much energy as hundreds of windmills, and not deface the entire countryside. Nuclear reactors are emisionless. President Obama and his environmental cronies could care less... nuclear power is not an option.


The Adminstration's Energy Plan is really NO plan, just a lot of feel-good rhetoric to make Average Joe not feel so bad about being bent over a fence-rail. Once again, the average taxpayer will be having his pockets picked EVEN MORE by a greedy, over-reaching Gub-Mint that wants YOUR money to spend on useless programs and feed the coffers of greedy Government labor unions, who fill Democrat campaign war chests in return for big favors.


And we'll still be buying oil from OPEC. Nice job, Democrats!

An AMERICAN Speaks Up

Taken from the Internet, with a slight bit of editing from me. The author is anonymous.

Liberals and socialists - traitors among us (USA)

Liberals - your time is up. I know you don't believe me. "We just won the election" you say... So what? America is a conservative country.

Americans are sick and tired of paying for deadbeats and illegals.

Americans are tired of having to live in fear of speaking out against minority crime and blight.

Americans are fed up with politicians who destroy businesses through excess taxation and regulation.

Americans refuse to submit to the tyranny of Communism, in which the government enslaves the people.

Americans will not give up their 2nd Amendment right to own guns and protect themselves.

Americans will never allow Arab terrorism to weaken our resolve. American will never forget those who died to keep us free.

The military supports the Conservative cause, which is the American cause. The military will never forgot how the traitorous Liberals failed to support them in their effort to fight against Arab terrorism and keep us safe.

Liberals, if you only visit left-leaning websites, you probably get the idea that America has shifted towards the left. There is no truth to this. You have to remember that the Messiah defeated exceptionally poor Republican President and Vice-President candidates.

This economic crisis has a long way to go. And it is a very unstable situation. You are already seeing a strong Conservative American backlash to Pelosi/Obama's socialism. You are already seeing real Americans scream out for an end of the welfare system and a dismantling of excessive state and federal government.

Liberals love to blame the banks and capitalists... however no Liberal complained when the banks were giving away houses. No liberal complained when they were using credit cards like free money. No liberal complains when American business people, innovators, and entrepreneurs bring prosperity.

Our capitalist system is the very reason why we are still the envy of the world. The world's strongest country. The country so rich in opportunity that it's attracts people from all of the world. If this economic crisis gets worse... and all indications point in that direction, there is going to be a call to arms and battlelines will be drawn. Americans are ready to support a strong Conservative leader who is ready to take the steps needed to restore this country to greatness.

Americans support:

An immediate end to illegal immigration.

An immediate and quick return of illegal immigrants to their home countries, with force if necessary.

A dismantling of the welfare system that rewards deadbeats and impoverishes hard working people and companies.

Strong police and judicial action unshackled from Liberal restraints to rid our communities of criminals, from drug pushers down to graffiti artists.

More effective deterrents to crime, including work camps and a return of the death penalty.

Prosecution of corruption on all levels, both in government and in the corporate sector.

Removal of excessive government regulation.

End to excessive taxation.

The question is, will the people, who voted for the largest expansion of Big Gub-Mint in this nation's history, ever "get it"? Or is it too late?
