HAPPY BIRTHDAY, USMC!!!!
The House of Representatives (what the f*** they represent is anyone’s guess) passed their 1,990 page “One small step for the Left, one giant leap into Socialism” bill last night.
Does anyone feel better?
The only thing that was accomplished was the alienation of millions of voting Americans. Not that it will matter anymore. Normally, I would plead with you to start working on your Senators. Let them know that you consider this a slap in the face. Implore them to vote against the Democrats’ bill. Will it change anything? Sadly, I find myself looking at this from a “glass half-empty” viewpoint.
Obama and his litter of uber-loyal puppies in Congress have once again looked down their noses at us in disdain. Just as they did last week on election night.
“Poor, pitiful little Americans. The Gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey are meaningless! NY-23 was the race that mattered.” Really? Hmmm…maybe they ought to rethink that. Owens won because the Republicans can’t get their act together. The method of choosing candidates in NY-23 is archaic and obviously did not reflect the wishes of the voters in that district. Had the GOP asked their constituents to choose the candidate to run against Owens, the results would have been much different. So, Obama’s manipulation of Congress succeeded. McHugh got a cushy administration job and the Democrats gained a seat. Score one for “He who walks on water”.
There is one bright spot to all of this. Chances are the Senate won’t vote on their version of the Health Care bill until after the holidays. That takes us into 2010, a mid-term election year. Congress will be debating Health Care while trying desperately to get re-elected. If we don’t waste this opportunity, maybe we have a chance…

I would like to thank everyone who wrote to find out why my big mouth has been quiet for a while. I have had the flu and can, quite honestly, say that I would not wish it on Jeanine Garofalo
In light of the tragedy that occurred at Fort Hood, TX yesterday I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to the families of those who were killed and to the entire Fort Hood community for the great losses they have suffered. My niece was stationed there in 2004, and I know she was treated well during her time in Texas.
I am hoping and praying for the quick recovery of those who were wounded.
Even though the physical wounds will heal, the emotional ones sometimes seem as though they never will. I hope you know that a grateful and supportive nation is behind you.
You know, when Richard Nixon did it the Media didn’t like it. Not at all. I’m talking about blackballing a newspaper for writing articles questioning decisions made by his administration.
Back in the 70’s newspapers were still the most powerful journalistic outlet in America. They had the power to make or break someone’s political career. Nixon hated The New York Times and had no problem barring them from access to the White House. Journalists around the country made their feelings known. They accused the Nixon administration of stepping on the First Amendment Rights of The New York Times, and rightly so.
However, that was when there was still such a thing as “journalistic integrity”. That term can now be filed under “Oxymoron” with other classics such as “jumbo shrimp”. Now-a-days the MSM outlets have been reduced to nothing more than 24/7 campaign commercials for Congressional Liberals and the White House. I was taken by surprise when they joined the “Huh?” generation after Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize.

There is now a present day blacklist and it contains one name – Fox News Channel. Why? Because Anita Dunn has chosen to blur the lines between commentary and journalism. These terms, though somewhat similar, are significantly different in one respect. Journalism is “a direct presentation of facts” while commentary is “an expression of opinion”. Commentary, which quite often contains factual information, is an expression of one person’s views of those facts. Journalism in its truest form should not be laced with opinion.
I challenge Anita to stop wasting my tax dollars blogging on a White House website and, instead, issue a statement of factual inaccuracies presented by Fox News Channel. This is similar to a request I made a week-or-so ago to the Liberal blogging community. I fear we will get the same response from her as I did…a barrage of vitriolic refuse.
I want the TRUTH!!!! And I can handle it…can YOU?
You know you laughed, I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I am utterly MAD
And…They’re coming to take me away HAHA
They’re coming to take me away HOHO HEHE HAHA
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers
Who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re comin to take me away HAHAAA
For those of you born after 1970, that quote is from the song Funny Farm by Dr. Demento. However, it could become an anthem for those of us in the nose-bleed section going “HUH?!?!”
The Annointed One is no longer just the Saviour of the United States of America, he is now officially the Saviour of the Entire World. Really? Reality check – he was nominated 2 weeks after he took the Oath of Office (the second, official time…not the first screwed up time
). How the hell do you nominate someone who hasn’t had enough time in office to figure out the phone system? Now, if they gave a Nobel Prize for Apologizing, I could see their point.
Of course this means Date Night in Oslo…
BUT, we need to realize that we can’t just spend money willy-nilly on goofy things like, uhm, sending more troops to Afghanistan. According to the Gibbs-bot Model 2009, this expenditure needs careful scrutiny.
Then there’s the f****d-up logic the Left is using to justify spending $890-some-odd-billion on a Health Care bill that most of us don’t want. It is the same logic I have used to justify spending $40 on a new pair of shoes. “But, honey, they were on sale. So, actually, I saved $20!” Baucus is centering on the $91 billion savings. Senator, sweetheart, IT’S AN $890 BILLION EXPENSE THAT WE CANNOT AFFORD FOR A PROGRAM MOST OF US DON’T WANT! Well, we aren’t sure if we don’t want it because we aren’t allowed to read the damned thing. We might want it, you never know. But, maybe we’ll hate it…then we are stuck with it…
They’re coming to take me away HAHAA…
Back to the Afghanistan mess…Obama thinks that we can trust the Taliban to be good little terrorists and promise…no, pinky swear…that they will not try to take over the government in Afghanistan. Cross their hearts and hope to die! AND, the Taliban would never ever fund Al Quaeda again if we leave Afghanistan…never ever EVER. Wow, I can see why he got that Nobel Peace Prize.
They’re coming to take me away HOHO HEHE HAHAA…

I found these quotes online and thought they were quite eye opening:
Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, ‘Oh my God, you’re insulting me.’ That you can have a gay parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float cheering, ‘We’re here, we’re queer!’ — that’s what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride.
The world would be better off with multiple superpowers. When Communist USSR was a superpower, the world was better off.
These words were spoken by none other than that Liberal Love-Bunny, Janeane Garofalo.
Before anyone accuses me of gay-bashing, take into account that I am for Same-Sex marriages. I think we should all have the right to be miserable
However, I do take issue with her stance on burning the American Flag.
Ms. Garofalo, what kind of American History are they teaching at Providence?

Yesterday I posted an open invitation to an adult conversation. The topic was “Are the allegations about some of Obama’s Czars true?”
I was particularly interested in receiving information from the more Liberal bloggers. I asked for facts that proved commentators like Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh are way off the mark.
Eighty hits were registered for this post. However, the only comment I received from a Liberal blogger related to the “About Me?” page on my blog. Here is an excerpt from that page, and the comment he made:
Quote from About Me? -
I have only a High School education. I chose not to go to college and instead attended the University that is Life. I believe “horse sense” will get you farther than “book sense” (unless your ultimate goal is to do nothing but solve the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle in record time).
Response from blogger -
Funny how so many right-wingers “chose” not to go to college. That explains a lot.
SO, for the reading comprehension impaired, my invitation is as follows:
I would like to hear facts from some of the more Liberal bloggers which prove that the information given by Conservative commentators concerning the Obama administration is incorrect. I do not want to hear the same old personal attacks, rehashing of past sins, etc. I am asking for proof.
Let’s give this another shot…
I read many, many blogs. Liberal, Moderate, Conservative…doesn’t matter. (Yeah, “get a life”…I know) Anyway, one common thread running throughout the Liberal blogs is the personal attacks on Conservative commentators. There are a couple of Conservative Bloggers who suffer from the same affliction, but nowhere near as many as the Liberal Bloggers. Why?
I am inviting anyone who reads my blog to tell me why people like Glenn Beck, Michele Malkin, Dick Morris, Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity are wrong based solely on facts.
This is an invitation to an open, adult discussion. I am seriously interested in knowing whether Glenn Beck’s statements are true. If anyone can prove to me that Van Jones is/was NOT affiliated with Acorn, TIDES or SEIU please do so. If anyone can prove that many of the Czars Obama has in his administration are not presently (and have not been in the past) connected with the organizations he outlines on his broadcast, SHOW ME.
Dick Morris was a member of the Friends of Bill. I have read his newest book. Mr. Morris cites many sources and presents his opinions in a factual manner. Not once does he lower himself to personally attacking anyone in the Obama administration. Can someone show me where Mr. Morris is wrong using facts alone?
I will not delete your comments or personally attack you for your ideas. However, I trust that your comments won’t contain extreme profanity or threats against any individual. The only way anyone can hold an intelligent conversation on a subject is to study both sides of the issue. I can’t study both sides if the only information I get from the Left is failed attempts to assassinate someone’s character.
Let’s talk…
