Very interesting article. A small, informal poll of some law enforcement officers and veterans regarding Obama ordering the confiscation of firearms.
I've always said that, when the Left planned for their little "revolution", they made one big mistake: the vast majority of people who like guns, own guns and know anything about guns despise the Leftist commies.
Hard to have a revolution if you have no one to fight for you. The Occupy Wall Street kids would be their best bet, and can you imagine those spoiled dopes trying to fight veterans, hunters and former law enforcement officers?*
The author does make one very important point at the end of the article, however. Could the Left's plan be to foment civil war and then call in UN troops to quell it?
Well, from what I've seen of the UN troops, they wouldn't be much more of a threat than the OWS kids. Unless, of course they hope to win by running prostitution rings and taking bribes. I've never actually seen them fire a shot in anger. Usually, when the bullets start flying, they run and hide.
Pretty sure they wouldn't have the stomach to fight 100 million pissed off Americans with 300 million guns. Our reputation precedes us.
*I say "former" LEO's because I doubt there are many that would consider their paycheck worth the risk of going into home after home of armed citizens, day after day. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that your ticket is going to be punched real fast. Not to mention the fact that most of them - sworn to uphold the law - are not going to care for directly violating the 2nd Amendment.

It Is Irellevant...
The fact that he didn't actually use an "assault rifle" is irrelevant to the Liberals. They don't like "assault rifles" so they'll use the dead children to get rid of those weapons.

Tell It Like It Is
Liberals use two "arguments" to try to make their ant-gun points.
1) "Nobody needs an "assault rifle" for hunting."
2) "Assault rifles and handguns are only made to kill people."
To which your reply should be, "Yep."
Apart from the sporting aspects of owning guns, their primary purpose is to kill people.
People who threaten my family and/or me.
And people who try to take my rightfully owned guns from me. Because they are endangering my family and me.
So, the next time some moonbat tells you that guns are good for nothing but killing people, look them in the eye, smile and say, "Yep".
That'll be the end of that conversation.

Thank God For Ruger
Finally: a gun manufacturer that isn't just "keeping their head down" and is taking action against those who want to disarm America.
Please go to this link and contact your Congresscritters. Let them know that we're not going to take the blame for Liberal policies that let homicidal nutjobs run free.
Thank you, and God Bless America.

Amazing Lack of Foresight
The Democrats who are urging Obama (.pdf) to issue "Executive Orders" to advance their agenda and bypass Congress seem to forget one thing: There won't always be a Democrat President in power.
Like the children that they are, in their haste to get whatever it is that they want, it never occurs to them that the knife cuts both ways. Yes, they really are that stupid.
What's going to happen when the American people get sick of having the Democrat Party's dictatorial, freedom-killing decrees rammed down their throats and elect a Republican (or other Conservative Party candidate - hey...I can dream) for President.
How will the Democrats/Leftists react when said President issues executive orders severely restricting abortion? Or requiring all welfare recipients who are physically able to work for their benefits? Or outright nullifying gun-control laws previously passed by Congress?
I'll tell you how they'll react. They'll whip themselves into a frenzy and scream, "But that's different!". Just like any six-year-old would.
In the event that Republicans make good on their threat by failing to act, or by moving unilaterally to pass a debt limit extension only as part of unbalanced or unreasonable legislation, we believe you must be willing to take any lawful steps to ensure that America does not break its promises and trigger a global economic crisis -- without Congressional approval, if necessary.

Fair is Fair
OK, so the Leftist media, professors, politicians, pundits, etc. want to infringe upon our 2nd Amendment rights.
I say we let them reinstate the "assault weapons" ban and infringe upon our 2nd Amendment rights on one condition: we get to infringe upon their 1st Amendment rights.
Any of the Leftist "intellectuals" whose livelihood depends on the freedom of speech granted in the 1st Amendment shall be subject to fines or imprisonment if they are caught lying, spewing disinformation, misrepresenting people's views, not reporting news that doesn't help their political agenda or attacking those with a differing political viewpoint.
Oh, I know what they'll say. "But people don't die when we make 'mistakes'".
Is that right?
When New York Times reporter Walter Duranty intentionally covered up the crimes of the murderous Stalin dictatorship in the Soviet Union, 50 million people died.
When the Left fanatically embraced Rachel Carson's book, "Silent Spring" in the 1970's, and was successful in getting the pesticide DDT banned to save a few birds, tens-of-millions of human beings in third-world countries died because insects ate their food.
And those are just two examples. If you add up all of the deaths that Leftist "intellectuals" are responsible for, it easily approaches one billion.
How many "mass shootings" would it take to equal those numbers?
If they get to infringe upon our 2nd Amendment rights to supposedly save, maybe, 75 people per year from "mass shootings" (and we all know that their "assault weapon" ban wouldn't save those lives), it's only fair that they should let us infringe upon their freedom of speech to save millions of lives, right?

The Snobs "Up Front"
Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe has it exactly right: Everyone laments the "outsourcing" of manufacturing jobs to other countries, but those same jobs are sneered at here in America. And employers are whining that they can't find anyone to fill the "skilled-labor" positions.
Add to that the fact that most employers require some kind of degree for even menial jobs, and it's no wonder that we can't fill our own manufacturing positions. It is really nothing more than the snobbery of those in hiring positions believing that the only people that deserve a position in their organization are those that have some kind of degree. Because - well - because they have a degree, which means that they are above the hoi polloi blue-collar worker. Being self-taught or having on-the-job training just isn't good enough for them.
Given that most post-secondary schools nowadays are nothing more than diploma mills that teach their students what to think, rather than how to think, it is a ridiculous assumption. I have over 6 years of post-secondary education, so I know whence I speak: People who should have been allowed to fail and quit the program were passed with high grades. Because if the warm bodies aren't in the seats, the institution doesn't get any money for them.
Most of the really clueless people in manufacturing today are the people who work on the other side of the wall from the factory...i.e. the "educated" people in the office. The sheer stupidity that I have encountered from them in my career has been mind-boggling.
Case in point: Employers complaining that they can't find anyone to fill skilled labor jobs...but requiring educational credentials to fill those jobs, no matter the other qualifications of the candidates. And they can't make the connection between those two simple things. I don't know where I first heard the term, but they have been called, "credentialed idiots".
I may be "just" a blue-collar grease-monkey, but I'll match wits with the best of them, anytime. I have the distinct advantage of 30 years living in the real world.

OK...pet peeve time.
I keep hearing people talking about "the carrot and the stick". They say that the object can either acquire the carrot, or be beaten by the stick.
THAT IS NOT WHAT THE ANALOGY IS ABOUT!
The stick isn't for beating anyone. It is just what the carrot is attached to. It was strapped on to the donkey to make it continually strive for the carrot, with no hope of ever acquiring it.
It's amazing how many intelligent people use this wrong.

Liberal "Logic"
Liberals hate themselves. Deep down, they know that they are self-centered, neurotic, emotionally-stunted children who don't really care about anyone else.
And, if they are that messed up, so they think, their ideological enemies (i.e. Conservatives) must be downright evil! After all, if Liberals are the good guys and they're that screwed up, Conservatives must be psychotic!
It never occurs to them that maybe it's just them.

For the Children
For all of their talk about creating a Utopia here on earth for following generations, Obama and his Leftist lunatics are destroying the one thing that they always use as a shield for their insane policies: The Children.
We all know that they are going to be tax slaves to the various governments - Federal, state, local and, eventually, the UN - but the worst part will be that they'll be intellectually enslaved.
In Orwell's "1984", it was posited that, eventually, after the Elite had changed the language enough, thoughts that didn't agree with the rulers would be, quite literally, impossible.
"Racist" no longer has anything to do with race. It simply means that you disagree with the Elite's view of a subject. It doesn't even, necessarily, have to have any bearing on race.
"Hate" no longer has anything to do with hatred. It just means that you disagree with the Elite's view of a subject. If you disagree with gay marriage, you are a "hater". If you disagree with letting millions of illegal immigrants into this country, you are a "hater". And the list goes on.
"Education" no longer has anything to do with intellectual education. It is a euphemism for the vast network of Leftists indoctrinating our children, including the teachers unions and University "Intellectuals" (who rarely use whatever intellect they may have).
"Global Warming" was foisted upon us for years until it was pointed out that the earth was actually cooling. At which point, the Leftist control freaks changed the term to "Climate Change". Which, if they would have been half as intelligent as they like to think they are, they would have went with in the first place. Climate change happens constantly and has been happening since the earth began. But the fools who are susceptible to the Leftist propaganda don't know that.
"Revenues" are what normal people used to call taxes. "Increasing revenues" means raising taxes. So does the word, "Investing" when used by a Liberal, as in, "Investing in our children's future". That simply means that Democrats want to raise taxes and spend the money on things that will actually harm our children's future by increasing the debt that our children will one day have to pay back.
The list of the words/phrases that the Left has corrupted could go on and on. When they control academia (see "Education, above), the media and the bureaucracy in Washington DC, we are truly into the realm of Orwellian thought control.
The only antidote to it all is to teach your children to be skeptical and cynical when it comes to what they see and hear in the mass barrage of information thrown at them every day.
I taught my daughter, and now she defines "cool" for the other kids. Being against "the man" is natural for teenagers. It's just a matter of letting them know why they should be against the ruling Elites.

If Anyone Should Ever be Frogmarched In Front of the Media...
Attorney General Holder in Contempt of Congress
Couldn't have happened to a nicer leftist, racist, arrogant prick.
If procedure were followed, he could be arrested and jailed immediately...which would be most appropriate.
But it'll never happen. The Republican elites wouldn't want to offend their Democrat colleagues/friends.
It Was a Good Run
The Supreme Court upheld the "individual mandate" in Obamacare today.
What this means is that the Federal government can now write a contract, give it to insurance companies, and force you to sign - and PAY - for it. And there is nothing you can do about it.
Which means that there is nothing that the Federal government can't make you do from now on.
If they decide that they want you to be more "green", they can make you buy and install solar panels. Or buy an electric car.
If they want you to be more healthy, they can force you into a contract with a "health food" company.
If they deem you mentally unstable because you disagree with them, they can force you to enter into a contract with a mental health facility.
They can now manipulate any behavior that they want to. For your own good, of course. Because they know better than you do how to live your life. You see: you are not a member of the elite. Hence you are too stupid to take care of yourself. Sadly, half the country seems comfortable with this.
Most of you won't recognize the momentous significance of this day but, unless Congress can repeal this law, America is no longer the Constitutional Republic that it was founded as.
For those of you who voted for Obama and the Democrats so that they'd take care of you so that you could watch American Idol and not have to think...don't come whining to me when the government is forcing you to do things that you don't want to do. This is the "Change" that you voted for.

Deploy the Smokescreen!
Last month the Left got the feminists whipped up with Sandra Fluke.
Today they have the black population whipped up over Trayvon Martin.
Next month it will be one of the Left's other favored "victim" groups. A gay person will get beat up, an Hispanic (and not a "white" Hispanic") will be shot...something that would normally never make the national news. And the month after that, some other "injustice" will work the useful idiots of the Left into a froth. And on it will go until the election in November.
It's pathetic to watch the media collaborate with the Democrat Party to use these normally run-of-the-mill stories to motivate their "victim" classes and also to get Obama's failures off the front pages.
But what's really sad is that so many Americans are gullible and naive enough not to see what's really going on.
The government schools have truly succeeded in dumbing-down the populace enough to not see what's going on.

Good Luck With That
The Lefties, in their childish little way, believe that they have a chance to get Rush Limbaugh off the air because he called a woman who needs $3000 per year in birth-control a slut.
The only people who will be hurt by this are Rush's now-former advertisers who caved in to the Lefties and pulled their advertising. Why do these companies never learn that the bark of the left is vastly larger than their bite?
UPDATE: The entire Boards of Directors of these companies should be fired and replaced with something that owns a spine. They're crashing. "Turns out that sanctimony has a price"

Pathetically Hilarious
Obama is so screwed.
If he doesn't please the 10% of Marxist fanatic voters who got him elected he's screwed.
If he goes against the 90% of the real American population that disagrees with those Marxists, he's screwed.
He relied upon a group of complete, left-wing fanatics to get himself elected. They don't have the mental acuity to realize that, sometimes, compromise is necessary. Especially when your party has just been devastated in an off-year election. Like the six-year-olds that they are, they want what they want. Thinking ahead is far too adult for their tiny little minds.
I don't know which I'm enjoying more: these Lefty children throwing a tantrum because their unrealistic expectations aren't being met, or Obama's deer-in-the-headlights cluelessness now that he has lost most of his power.
And the new "Tea Party" Congress isn't even here yet.

Gotta Break a Few Eggs to Make an Omelette
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember back in 2007 many Republicans & Conservatives saying that, maybe, we should just stay home, let Obama win, show the country what a disaster electing a Socialist would be, and letting the country come back to us in 2010.
And I also seem to remember some of the "greatest" minds of the right-wing political world telling us that it would be a really bad thing to do. That it wouldn't work. That we couldn't risk it. That the American people would just drift farther to the left once they got a taste of Big Nannyism. That we should just vote for the RINO because the slow train to Socialism is better than the fast train.
And now here we are: Obama won, the Democrat Party is, mostly, despised and discredited. Their left-wing agenda and totalitarian tactics have been rejected by a very large majority of the American people. The corruption of their people and their processes has been exposed like a bug under a rock and they're scurrying away from the sunlight as fast as they can.
Conservatism has shot up like a rocket, people are demanding that the Constitution be adhered to, big-government is seen as the problem and not the solution and the Tea Party Movement has brought millions of previously uninvolved people to the side of sanity.
All because nobody could get really excited about voting for RINO John McCain and, therefore, guaranteed a win by Socialist Barack Obama.
And what I find really amazing is that I seem to be the only person who remembers this. I haven't heard a peep about it anywhere. I don't mean this in any self-aggrandizing way. I really am just amazed that nobody else seems to have brought this up.
It just goes to show - once again - that you should never rely on the opinion of an "expert".

Insanity Is...
The popular definition of insanity is, "doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result."
Well, for the past 50 years we've been following the "Buckley Rule" which states that you're supposed to support the most Conservative candidate who can win. And, for the past 50 years, this country has been sliding ever closer to outright Communism.
I have no doubt that Bill Buckley was a genius but, apparently, not even he could see where that philosophy would lead us.
The flaw in the theory is that you never really know who can win. Could Mike Castle win in Delaware? Probably. But...could Christine O'Donnell win? Quite possibly. Especially if Chris Coonz's "bearded Marxist" comments get out into the general public. The country, including Delaware, has seen Marxism in action for the past 2 years and it scares the Hell out of them.
What the "Buckley Rule" has gotten us is a bunch of Democrats with an "R" next to their name. And, the farther Left that the Democrat Party slides, the farther left that the Republican Party slides. So what in the Hell is the sense in continuing that?
From now on, we need "The Exile Rule": vote for the most Conservative person in the race. Period. Polls have shown forever that this country is majority Conservative.
Why can't the likes of "political genius" Karl Rove make that simple connection?

What the "Buckley Rule" has gotten us is a bunch of Democrats with an "R" next to their name. And, the farther Left that the Democrat Party slides, the farther left that the Republican Party slides. So what in the Hell is the sense in continuing that?
From now on, we need "The Exile Rule": vote for the most Conservative person in the race. Period. Polls have shown forever that this country is majority Conservative.
Why can't the likes of "political genius" Karl Rove make that simple connection?

Careful What You Wish For, Lefty
The Left spent eight years screeching about "neo-cons" and attempting to destroy them.
Well, the "neos" are on their way out, and the true "cons" are on their way in.
The Democrat Party will soon be reminiscing about the good old days of the pliable neo-cons who would "reach across the aisle" to join them instead of reaching to slap them down like the real Conservatives who are about to join the fray will be doing.
And once these Conservatives get into power. we all need to remind them how they got there, lest they fall to the siren song of Washington power like so many before them and start to "compromise" (i.e. give the Democrats what they want) with the enemy.

Says Who?
OK, I am hearing nothing but, "Christine O'Donnell can't win" in Delaware. She can't win, she can't win, she can't win...blah, blah, blah ad infinitum.
Says who? The "experts"? The "experts" only go off of what they've seen in the past. And the tectonic shift in the political world is, quite possibly, like nothing that this country has ever seen.
For the past 100 years "progressivism" (aka Communism) has been taking over this country in baby steps, occasionally making headlines, but nothing like the daily barrage of destruction that this country is seeing today. The extreme left has taken over the Democrat Party and has gone "all in" with Obama/Reid/Pelosi. They have abandoned subtlety and pounded their agenda down America's throat with a sledgehammer.
And America is horrified.
As long as the Left stuck to the "boiling frog" tactic of slowly advancing their agenda, not enough people noticed at one time to put up any resistance. But now that huge numbers of people see what Socialism really is, they want no part of it.
And, hopefully, that includes a majority of the voters in Delaware.
Can Christine O'Donnell win in Delaware? I think that it is at least very possible, if not likely.
The rules have changed amazingly fast. And we've entered an era of politics in America that is unlike anything we've ever seen.

Here We Come
Congratulations to Christine O'Donnell for tearing down Castle in Delaware.
The despicable behavior of the GOP elitist establishment there shows that, by using liberal scorched-earth tactics against O'Donnell, they are nothing more than quasi-liberal elitists themselves.
They did the same thing that liberals do when they feel their power threatened: they try to destroy the person on a personal level.
The GOP elite in Delaware, and nationally, have become nothing more than elitist snobs who believe that they are entitled to their power. They are acting like liberals/six-year-olds because they know that a very significant part of the party will no longer hold their noses and vote for whomever the GOP anoints. Bob Dole, George W. Bush and John McCain have shown us what happens when we do that, and we're having no more of it.
The Conservatives are ascendant in the party, and it scares the Hell out of the elites in the GOP. As well it should: Their reign of foolishness is just about over, and we're coming for them, next.
After this election, we have about a year to oust them before the 2012 campaign starts. Then maybe we can get a real Conservative to run for a change. Remember: that hasn't happened since 1984.

What We Can Look Forward To
When the Republicans take over the House (and possibly the Senate), and give the business world some optimism (dare I say "hope"?), the economy will start to rebound for real.
When that happens, don't be surprised when the Leftists/Democrats take credit for it by saying that it was their and Obama's policies which were already in place that "just took time" to turn the economy around.
You know it's coming.

This Oughta Be Good
When the insider "tell-all" books from former White House staffers start coming out, I predict that Michelle Obama's childish sense of entitlement and general nastiness will make Hillary look like Mother Theresa. And that ain't easy to do.

Will they ever learn?
OK, we'll try to get through again.
All of you fools who voted for Obama, and are now having "buyers remorse", are howling like coyotes about the present state of the union. Really...what did you morons expect? Did you really not think that "hope & change", coming from an extreme left-wing "black liberation", "social justice", Marxist would get us anywhere other than where we are now?
Oh...wait...you fools have no idea what any of those phrases mean, do you? Not a clue. Maybe you should Google them, instead of "Paris Hilton".
Personally, I'd feel like a complete idiot if I had voted for a guy who's record was out there, but that I hadn't bothered to look into, and then started bitching about how horrible he was.
If you can't find the time to look into anyone beyond what you see on the nightly news, you really shouldn't be voting. You're ignorance has made my daughter's chance at a decent life pretty slim. She'll be paying for your decision to vote for Obama because he's "black" (hah!) or he's "cute" or because he "speaks well" (he doesn't speak well...he makes appropriate facial gestures related to what he's reading on the teleprompter).
Really: if you feel a need to vote, stick with "American Idol". It's only your "civic duty" to vote if you know what you're voting for.

Talking Points for the Next 4 Years
- Obama stole the election!
- Obama = Hitler!
- Obama is responsible for any loss of life due to the weather!
- Obama is destroying the environment!
- Obama lied, people died!
- Obama caused 9/11!
- Obama is waging war to enrich his friends!
- Joe Biden is the real brains behind Obama!
I really am going to walk around saying this stuff to any Liberal that I happen to meet. Let them know how stupid they sounded for eight years. I'm sure that the humor and irony will be completely lost on them - it's much too complex - but at least I'll be entertained.

Fooling the Fools
Obama keeping Bush appointees in position? Appointing Washington insiders and/or Clinton cronies to various posts (not to mention Hillary herself)? Going back on his word to close Guantanamo?
Why is anyone surprised? America has just elected a two-bit race hustler from Chicago to the highest office in the land. That's all that he is. The Left and the fools who pay more attention to American Idol than what's really going on in this country have fallen for the biggest con in history.
To those on the Left: don't feel too bad. In one sense Obama really is just like you: his only ideology is whatever gets him more power and attention. Much like the Clintons (and you on the Left) it really is "all about me".
But then, fooling the naive and uninformed is really no great feat, is it?

Any Day Now...
In view of the recent reports showing that the earth may actually be cooling, how long do you think it will be (or how much money amassed) before Al Gore claims that his initiative solved global warming and averted catastrophe?
I'm thinking that Al "It's All ABout Me" Gore is chafing at Barack Obama taking up all of the lovely, lovely limelight and will have to do something drastic to refocus the spotlight on himself.
He could also use that as an excuse for his ever-expanding carbon footprint:
Does anyone need any more proof that Democrats and those on the Left are absolute fools and uninformed morons? After all, this guy is credible in their eyes.

NASHVILLE - In the year since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, the former Vice President’s home energy use surged more than 10%, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.
“A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home,” said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. “Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption.”

When the Levee Breaks - Or Did It?
OK - who did it?
I think that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson blew up the levees and destroyed the neighborhood to get rid of all of the white people in Des Moines so that the Democrats could move their people in there and have a reliable voting bloc for themselves.
In fact, it's quite possible that Al Gore engineered the weather to give them cover for their nefarious plan! After all, for a man who invented the internet, a weather machine should be a piece of cake. That would also explain all of this global warming stuff.
Or could it be that when levees fail in black neighborhoods it's a Republican plot, but when they fail in snow-white Des Moines - well - that's just nature taking it's course. Other than the fact that Americans caused the climate to change, I mean.
While the Cedar River ebbed in hard-hit Cedar Rapids, a levee breach in the state capital of Des Moines flooded a neighborhood of more than 200 homes, a high school and about three dozen businesses.

Will the Democrat Party ever be able to nominate a white male for President of the United States again?

NRCC Gets Shelled!
If the Republican Party doesn't understand the level of discontent in their base after this shellacking, there is no hope of them ever hitting rock-bottom (see post below) and changing course to save themselves.
The comment section on this RNCC blog post is an amazing look at just how upset Conservatives are. If the Republican bigwigs can read this and still think that they have a prayer of winning in November, they are even more deluded than I thought possible.

Time to Stop the Enabling
When dealing with addicts of any type, there is a term that is often heard: Enabling.
When you help an addict or a drunk solve the problems that result from their bad behavior (i.e. bailing them out of jail, "loaning" them money, etc.) you are doing nothing more than prolonging their suffering. You are "enabling" them to continue their destructive behavior. If it's done long enough, it often results in that persons death.
Since 1988, when Ronald Reagan left office, most of us have "held our noses" and voted for people who were not Conservatives. And, not coincidentally, the Republican Party has slid farther and farther to the Left. To the point where the Republican Party is on the verge of officially nominating a man who has again and again and again betrayed the principles that were the hallmarks of the Republican party.
When the Republicans were given power in 1994 they started off well, but slowly-but-surely they became addicted to the lure of money and power until the year 2000 when many of us, with some trepidation, voted for George W. Bush. After that, with absolute power, their death-spiral of addictive behavior accelerated - as it always does with addicts. And, also as with addicts, their behavior became more and more destructive; not just to themselves (via their morals and integrity), but to others - in this case the entire country.
In other words, those of us who have "held our noses" and voted for Bush I, Bob Dole, and Bush II (not to mention many other Senators and Congressmen) have been enabling the destructive behavior of these liberal Republicans. To the point where there is a very real danger to the very country that we live in.
There is another term in the treatment of addicts that comes in handy here: Rock-bottom.
Most addicts will only get help when they have hit rock-bottom. When they have lost everything that they care about and their lives are an absolute disaster.
And when you enable an addict you never let them get to that rock bottom. You keep them from hitting that place where they have to decide whether they want to change their behavior or die.
It's always very, very hard to do, but the most loving thing that you can do for someone in that situation is to take away all of the support that you've been giving them and let them crash and burn - praying that the fall doesn't kill them.
And now it's time to quit holding our noses and voting for the lesser of two evils. When we have reached the point of nominating a Republican who has voted like a Liberal Democrat for years and stabbed the very people who supported him in the back time and time again (another hallmark of addictive behavior), it's obvious that we're no longer helping the Republican party by enabling their bad behavior. It's time to let them hit bottom.
I will not vote for John McCain. Not for so much as dog-catcher. He is a symptom of the disease of Liberalism which has infected the Republican party. Like alcoholism, it's a chronic, progressive (heh) disease and it will only get worse if allowed to do so.
Nor will I vote for Senator Norm Coleman. In his run against the presumed Democrat nominee, Al Franken, the two have become almost indistinguishable (except that, as far as I know, Coleman pays his taxes before he advocates raising them on the rest of us).
For now, at least, I wash my hands of the Republican Party. It's time to let them sink or swim. If we continue to support them, they will never hit bottom and be forced to decide on a new course.

Let's See How This Flies...
Since it was the Democrats* who relentlessly fought for slavery, Jim Crow laws and against civil rights for blacks, why don't we have everyone who has consistently voted Democrat in this country pay "reparations" to the "black community"?
After all, blacks argue that they deserve reparations because of the suffering that they endured and the free labor that they did, right? Well, the people who caused that suffering and kept them in slavery were Democrats. Hence, the people who caused the suffering should be the ones to pay.
That would be one issue that we'd never hear about again.
* If you've never been to Stop the Republicans, it is a MUST read! It is a detailed timeline of the despicable lengths that the Democrat Party went to keep blacks in this country enslaved from 1854 until the present. And it shows without any doubt that it was always the Republican Party that was fighting for freedom for black people. The fact that most people have little or no idea of this history shows the Orwellian twist that only Leftists can put on an issue.
It is an incredibly valuable resource any time you hear the word "Republican" being equated with "racist".

"Progress" Doesn't Mean What You Think It Does
I hear a lot of Conservatives ridiculing "Progressives" for seeming to be against progress. After all, everything that they do seems to go against any real progress as you and I define the term. In fact, their entire philosophy is rooted in the long-dead mind of a Leftist misfit who lived over 100 years ago. How's that for progress?
But to understand how a Leftist defines progress you only need to remember one thing: Socialism was an imperfect but necessary step in progressing to the "perfection" of real Communism.
In the old Soviet Union, where the population was constantly inundated with short, propagandistic slogans (now, who has the "bumper sticker" ideology?), one of the most prevalent consisted of the word 'Progress!'
In fact, during the Soyuz space station days, the space vehicle used to resupply the station was even named Progress.
Their entire system was designed to create the conditions necessary to progress towards International Socialism first and, eventually, to real Communism where every person was exactly the equal of (i.e. the same as) the next. Little robots that the State could use (and destroy) however it saw fit.
And so, when you hear anyone calling themselves a "progressive", trying to see in their ideology what any sane person would call progress is utterly futile. It's apples and oranges. We're not speaking of the same thing.
We're speaking of the betterment of mankind in terms of liberty, freedom, science, etc.
They're speaking in terms of the progression of mankind to be servants of the State.

Could It Be?
Is it possible that the "Man-made Global Warming" hysteria has peaked and we're finally getting a little common sense out there? If this decision by the EPA is any indication, maybe so.
From The Heritage Foundation:
Al Gore may want to reconsider that bid for the White House. If the word's finally getting out that all of this is based on junk science and is nothing more than a Socialist power-grab, he may need a new job soon.
From The Heritage Foundation:
Liberals in Congress and environmentalists are predictably apoplectic over the Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to seek public comment before issuing regulations under the Clean Air Act on carbon emissions. House Energy Independence and Global Warming Chairman Ed Markey (D-Mass.) accused the Bush administration of “running out the clock” on global warming, and Senate Environment and Public Works Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said the EPA has had nearly year since the Supreme Court directed the agency to act on carbon emissions but, “now, instead of action, we get more foot-dragging.”

The State of Conservatism
I think that Mr. Buckley died just so that he could roll over in his grave at what "Conservatism" has become.
Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Two Questions
1) Will Hillary cry in public when she has to admit that her lifelong dream has been snatched away from her at the last minute?
2) Who will she blame it on? We know for a fact that she'll take no responsibility for it.

"Believing" - Until You Don't Need To
What ever happened to John Ashcroft who was, once upon a time, the most hated and evil man in the world? At least by Democrats.
Or Karl Rove, for that matter?
These two (and many others) were the subject of thousands of screeching, daily rants warning the American people of how they were going to (literally, in Ashcroft's case) bring Armageddon down upon the world.
Funny, but you hardly ever hear about either of them any more. You only hear about Rove because he writes a column for Newsweak magazine. John Ashcroft may as well have gone on to his reward for as much as the Left mentions him anymore.
Could it be that maybe the Left didn't really believe that these guys were as bad as they said they were? I doubt it. At least during the time that they were shuddering in fear over these "evil, warmongering, Christian haters", they believed every word that spewed from their spittle-flecked lips.
It's just another sign of the Orwellian insanity of being a Leftist that they truly believed that John Ashcroft was the Antichrist - until he no longer threatened their power or policies. Once he no longer threatened them, he became just another human being, no longer imbued with the power to destroy the earth.
And I'd bet that not one of them made the connection between their irrational hatred, their political ideology and the fact that John Ashcroft abruptly disappeared from their radar screen. Once Ashcroft stepped down, he became a non-person. He disappeared - just like mommy does, in an infant's mind, when she leaves the room.
When a Leftist hates someone, it is always in a self-righteous, "I'm going to personally help save the world from this person" point of view. They use the worst epithets that they can possibly think of to describe them, and they believe every word that they are saying at the time.
And then, when this evil person goes off and retires, the Leftists apparently lose the belief that something needs to be done about them. Karl Rove apparently chose being a columnist over world domination.
To be a Liberal is to be completely deranged.

It's just another sign of the Orwellian insanity of being a Leftist that they truly believed that John Ashcroft was the Antichrist - until he no longer threatened their power or policies. Once he no longer threatened them, he became just another human being, no longer imbued with the power to destroy the earth.
And I'd bet that not one of them made the connection between their irrational hatred, their political ideology and the fact that John Ashcroft abruptly disappeared from their radar screen. Once Ashcroft stepped down, he became a non-person. He disappeared - just like mommy does, in an infant's mind, when she leaves the room.
When a Leftist hates someone, it is always in a self-righteous, "I'm going to personally help save the world from this person" point of view. They use the worst epithets that they can possibly think of to describe them, and they believe every word that they are saying at the time.
And then, when this evil person goes off and retires, the Leftists apparently lose the belief that something needs to be done about them. Karl Rove apparently chose being a columnist over world domination.
To be a Liberal is to be completely deranged.

3-Ring Circus
Appearances and Ann Coulter's joke about him notwithstanding, its really too bad that John Edwards isn't gay. Think about it: they'd have all three of their biggest victims groups represented - women, blacks and gays.
Watching Hillary (via her subordinates, of course) try to call Barack Obama a "nigger" and still maintain her elitist liberal image is absolutely fascinating. Especially when you consider that Obama has, as far as I know, never once tried to use the race card. In this day and age, when blacks go ballistic over things that have nothing to do with race (i.e. "niggardly") that's unheard of. I give him all the credit in the world for that.
It's not that Obama doesn't actually believe that blacks are a horribly oppressed minority in this country, as evidenced by the racist church to which he belongs. Hell, he wouldn't be a liberal if he didn't believe in the supposed inherent racism in this country. But he has managed to restrain himself on the campaign trail at least.
And then you have Hillary and her fellow man-hating feminist travelers whining about the boys picking on her and not giving her a level playing field to play on. At least when she isn't crying like a little girl.
(I, for one, believe that her tears were completely real: after 35 years of plotting to become the first female President, her dream looked as if it were crumbling within 11 months of achieving it.)
If only John Edwards really was gay, we could have the pleasure of watching him whine about getting the shaft (sorry, couldn't resist) because of his sexual orientation and attacking Obama for being a man. And attacking Hillary for being even more of a man (except when she's crying).
The Democrats are showing their true colors in this race: after decades of preaching to us about how tolerant they are towards others, their power-at-all-costs mentality comes shining through in their attacks on one another regarding the very things which they'd like us to think they are tolerant of.
We on the Right always knew that they were a bunch of lying hypocrites. Now the rest of the country gets to see it, too.

Wanted: Adult Moderator
Everyone who believes in global warming, raise your hand!
A few years back, my daughter used to do that: "Whoever wants ice cream, raise your hand!"
If the Dhimmocrats want to use their fellow children as moderators, all well and good. But when are Republicans just going to say, "enough!"?
Good for Fred Thompson for finally putting the hostile little girl from The Des Moines Register in her place. When Liberals act like nasty little children, they should be treated like nasty little children.
It's just too bad that they waited until the last debate. They all should have done that from the beginning.
At the very least, Republicans should insist on at least one moderator in each debate who isn't a liberal trying to make Republicans look bad.
That way, we'd at least have some adult supervision.

Gee...What a Shock
Nobody on the Right will be surprised that Al Gore is willing to sacrifice the economy of America, the freedom of Americans and God only knows how many lives in third-world countries for his insatiable ego. After all, he's a Liberal. And, given the chance, that is what all Liberals would do.
Al Gore has come under fire for making personal gain from his mission to save the planet – after charging £3,300 a minute to deliver a poorly received speech.The former American Vice-President was also accused of being "precious" at the London event, demanding his own VIP room and ejecting journalists, despite hopes the star-studded gathering would generate publicity for the fight against global warming.
..."Al uses his position for great personal gain. He goes from event to event delivering a similar speech, earning a large fee, and a lot of the time he doesn't actually inform the audience.
"He refused to speak to journalists and security would usher away VIP guests and the Press.
"He was being very precious and demanded his own VIP room before the event, where he held his own exclusive reception.
"The other guests were cut off. It was very clear that many guests were disappointed by this."
The only people who will be surprised by this are his fellow disciples/Liberals who believe that Saint Algore can do no wrong. They are, of course, the same people who were surprised every time that Bill and Hillary were caught lying.
They are, of course, the same people whom Lenin called "useful idiots".

But...That's Different!
Let me guess: The National Intelligence Estimate saying that Iran has stopped it's nuclear-weapons program will be taken as Gospel by the Left.
But, the intelligence that said that Sadaam Hussein had WMD's was "cooked up" by the Bush Administration as an excuse to attack Iraq and steal all of their oil (which, by the way, we seem to be still waiting for...).
And yet, the Liberals will see no contradiction whatsoever.
Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

Start the Clock!
It's been about half an hour since this began. Has anyone on the Left blamed Rush Limbaugh yet?
ROCHESTER, N.H. - A man claiming to have a bomb walked into Hillary Rodham Clinton's storefront campaign office Friday and took at least two hostages, police and witnesses said.

What's Goin' On?
Rarely does one sentence sum up our situation as much as this one does:
Nowhere in the story does it even hint that part of the reason is that IED attacks have plummeted, and that we may be seeing the beginning of the end of the Iraq campaign in the War against the Islamist death cult.
And, of course, the sickening part about pork-hungry politicians who are "determined" (!) to spend millions of dollars of our tax money on things that the Marines don't even want, just to keep the campaign contributions flowing in.
I don't know who's more disgusting, the press or the politicians.
WASHINGTON - The Marines plan to buy fewer bomb-resistant vehicles than planned despite pressure from lawmakers who are determined to spend billions of dollars on the vehicles.

The Joys of a Complete Lack of Memory
Correct me if I'm wrong (although I know that I'm not), but wasn't it just a few years ago that liberals were all in a tither about banks not giving loans to "low-income" (just like "inner-city", "low-income" is Libspeak for "minority") borrowers?
The Libs, ignoring the reality of the situation as they always do, were up in arms because loan applications from minorities were being rejected more often than those from non-minority applicants (which, as usual, includes Asians, who are a minority in this country). It never occurred to these Leftist morons that the banks were rejecting applications based on income and credit status and not on race.
And so, under threat of legislation and penalty, lenders were forced to give home loans to people who really had no business buying a house, regardless of race.
And now the housing market has gone bad (or, more accurately, back to normal), interest rates have risen, equity has plummeted, and people with Adjustable Rate Mortgages are being foreclosed upon because they can't pay their mortgages. Why? Because many of them are...low income earners!
So who's fault is it that these people took out loans that they couldn't afford? Is it Jesse Jackson and the rest of the left-wing race-industry's fault for strong-arming banks into giving these people loans that they should never have taken out in the first place?
Don't be silly. Nothing is ever the result of bad decisions made by liberals. Their role in the whole matter has been thrown down the memory-hole, never to be seen again.
No, it's all the fault of "predatory lenders" who were "greedily" fooling stupid low-income people into buying houses that they couldn't afford. The borrowers weren't at fault. In the eyes of the Left, poor equals stupid and easily-fooled (they do, after all, vote for Democrats). They just didn't know what they were getting into. There were too many words on the papers that told them what would happen if they didn't pay the loan.
The Liberal/Democrat Party should really rename itself the Wile E. Coyote Party: they get a bright idea, implement it, and it backfires with disastrous results. And, like Wile E. Coyote, the damage is immediately forgotten and it's on to the next foolish idea - which will also blow up in their face and be forgotten. Ad infinitum.
The only difference is that Wile E. Coyote doesn't blame the ACME company for his bad decisions.

Only in the StarTribune
Just a little story that I noticed in the world's most Leftist newspaper.
First of all, let's note that the neighborhood is in what we would call a "bad part of town". And that's putting it mildly.
Isn't it odd that, other than mentioning "racial slurs", the story never mentions why it's being considered a hate crime? No mention of either person's race at all. Wouldn't any normal person think that that little piece of information might relate to the story?
If you know the StarTribune, it doesn't take much thought to realize exactly who the suspect is: a member of one of their favored minority classes of whom nothing derogatory shall ever be said. If the victim were a white male, I guarantee you that you'd know about it. Mostly because the story would cover half of the front page, rather than a tiny story on page 8 of the "B" section.
On the bright side, the police were allowed to label it a hate crime. That in itself is somewhat amazing when you consider the fact that St. Paul is just slightly to the right of Minneapolis, which is slightly to the Left of Moscow in the heyday of the Soviet Union
Police: Bus stop attack was a hate crime
A woman attacked at a bus stop in St. Paul on Monday was the victim of a hate crime, police said.
Cut in the face with a knife, the woman was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul and treated for a laceration. Police said she was not seriously injured.
The suspect, who was arrested on suspicion of felony assault, approached the victim at a bus stop on the 800 block of Payne Avenue in St. Paul near York Avenue, police said.
He started yelling at her for no apparent reason, used racial slurs and told her to "get out of here," police said. Then he left the scene but came back with a knife and said,"I thought I told you to leave." He then attacked her with a knife, police said.
According to court documents, the suspect has an extensive record.
Police said the investigation is ongoing.

Nothing Shocking Here
Saudi court hands jail term, doubles lashes for victim of gang rape
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A Saudi court sentenced a 19-year-old woman victim of gang rape to six months in jail and 200 lashes — more than double than in her initial sentence for being in the car of a man who was not her relative, a newspaper reported Thursday.
Nothing shocking there.
And here's the link to the story on the National Organization for Women's website:
Oh, wait. There isn't one.

The Logical End of the Democrats
They'll take it all...
Letter on "extra-hard assignments" for independent farmers from M. Ye. Boncharnikova, Central Black Earth Oblast, 1932
The rural commission gave us the extra-hard assignment of [delivering] 150 poods of grain: a hundred poods of winter wheat and fifty poods of spring-sown wheat. I wasn't able to fulfill such an assignment in view of the fact that there are three in my family and we have three plots of land. . . in all fifteen sazhens. I delivered fifteen poods of grain, and that's the most I can do. . . . My husband is an old man of sixty eight, unfit for work, and my boy is twelve, and I'm forty seven. The commission didn't take our circumstances into consideration. They took our horse with its harness, the new harness we purchased and the young horse, our seven sheep, twenty five poods of flour, two fur coats, two homespun coats, twelve arshins of ordinary cloth for leg wraps, one pair of felt leg wrappings, one curried hide, two pair of warm women's boots, one pair of leather men's boots, nine pieces of sun-bleached linen, four warm shawls, two sarafans, two mugs, four knives, two ropes, and so forth. When they came to take all these things, my husband wasn't home. I didn't want to let them take them. They hit me and tied me up, lay me face down and abused me. . . . They left me with nothing to my soul and they also took the seven solid boards that we had ready for our coffins, and one saddle and thirteen hens. I petition . . . to restore my house to me, that is, my hut, and return the property of mine indicated above.
- Stalinism as a Way of Life co-edited by Lewis Siegelbaum and Andrei Sokolov
If you want to see where the Democrat/Leftists are taking us, you need to read this book of letters and reports from Soviet archives. The Hell that these people went through, with the help of the useful idiots in this country, is astounding.

The Comparisons Are Amazing
Just one more way that the Islamofascists and Liberals resemble twin theologies:
No matter how loyal you've been in the past, if you step out of line and criticize any part of the agenda, you are attacked (see Larry Summers).
It's just incredible how closely the two resemble each other. Or maybe it's not so incredible when you really think about it.
CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Qaida sympathizers have unleashed a torrent of anger against Al-Jazeera television, accusing it of misrepresenting Osama bin Laden's latest audiotape by airing excerpts in which he criticizes mistakes by insurgents in Iraq.
Users of a leading Islamic militant Web forum posted thousands of insults against the pan-Arab station for focusing on excerpts in which bin Laden criticizes insurgents, including his followers.

Harry Election Ahead!
Maybe now he'll finally put a lid on it:
Now that he's looking at losing the most precious thing in his life - power - I'd almost bet that we don't hear much more out of Harry Reid from now on.
Almost.
The surprise was in the degree of voter disenchantment. The poll commissioned by the Las Vegas Review-Journal showed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's unfavorable rating had moved past the 50 percent mark -- 51 percent, to be precise. His favorable rating was 32 percent, 2 points lower than embattled, lame duck President George W. Bush.
Now that he's looking at losing the most precious thing in his life - power - I'd almost bet that we don't hear much more out of Harry Reid from now on.

Top 10 Reasons the Left Hates Ann Coulter
10. She's tougher than they are - both their "men" and their women.
9. She points out their faults - they hate that.
8. She looks better in a dress than they do - both their "men" and their women.
7. She's smarter and more clever than they are - and not afraid to rub it in.
6. She has fun poking them with sticks through the bars of their cages.
5. She's not the least bit intimidated by them.
4. She sneers at them.
3. She makes fun of them.
2. She ridicules them.
1. She right about them.
Ann Coulter embodies the people that tormented those who have become Liberals all through their lives. She brings back the unbearable memories of having their self-esteem devastated all through their formative years (why do you think that they're so obsessed with self-esteem in the government schools today?).
Ann Coulter is like an unquiet ghost from their past that endlessly haunts them.

White Like Me
No matter who ends up running in the next election, I am going to vote for a white male.
Pretty racist & sexist, huh?
But millions of black people will vote for Barack Obama for no other reason than he's black.
And millions of women will vote for Hillary Clinton for no other reason than she's female.
So why wouldn't I vote only for a person whose skin-color and genitalia match my own?
Because I'm not an idiot, that's why.

Once a Loser...
Why would the Democrats back a Presidential candidate as psychologically damaged as Hillary Clinton? Why would they back someone power-obsessed to the point that she has broken numerous laws, given new meaning to the words "dirty politics" and stood by her husband as he humiliated her because she just had to be a politician? Part of it is that most of them can relate to that kind of lack of morals. But there's a bigger reason:
They think that she can win.
Think about exactly when the Democrats went completely off the rails. It was the second that President Bush won the Presidential election in November of 2000. Even while the recount was going on, most of them knew that Bush had won, whether they wanted to admit it or not.
It was bad enough for them when Republicans took control of Congress in 1994, but when we took the White House too, it propelled them back in time to their miserable childhoods, when they always lost at everything - physically, socially, academically - you name it. Living life as perpetual losers and misfits is, in fact, what made them into the Leftists that they are today. Just look at any anti-Bush - err, anti-war - protest and you'll recognize the same losers that you went to school with.
They can't bear to lose again. If they're not actually psychotic at this point, they would certainly be so after another loss. It would bring back just too many bad memories and, of course, make them feel bad.
And they figure that they've had enough of that for one lifetime.
And so, they're willing to ignore what an absolute scumbag they would be putting back into the White House. Not to mention Hillary's felonious husband. They don''t care. To them, the end always justifies the means.
Especially when it keeps them from reliving the Hell of their depressing childhoods.

First Comes the Purge
The Left is going after Rush Limbaugh, Clarence Thomas, General Petraeus, Bill O'Reilly and a thousand others with both barrels. Nobody should be surprised: purges are so much a part of their ideology that they may as well be part of the Left's DNA.
There has never been a Leftist organization that didn't feature a good, old-fashioned purge. In fact, they are usually a recurring thing, happening whenever someone new takes (or is trying to take) power. Real elections and the orderly transfer of power doesn't work in a Leftist society. You have to murder (sometimes figuratively but, more often, literally) your rival political enemies. If they thought they could get away with it, those on the Left would have already put all of those mentioned above up against the wall and shot them.
Leftist "revolutions" always start with the purging of those who are not on the Left (they eventually begin infighting and killing other Leftists with differing viewpoints, but that's another post). The lucky ones are sent to "re-education camps" where they are tortured and brutalized. The not-so-lucky ones are murdered outright because their ideas and their stature threaten the Leftists. Truth and ideas are just as threatening to the Left as guns and soldiers.
Make no mistake: Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Noam Chomsky, and the rest of the cold, dead-eyed, hate-filled Leftists in positions of power are exactly the kind of people who have ordered such purges* in the past. And the mindless, shrieking, hysterical dolts who follow them (you can see them at any anti-war protest) are exactly the kind of people who carried out those orders.
What would be frightening if I thought that it were true, is that many of these people apparently believe that we are on the verge of a new "revolution". They mistake the volume of their howling for actual numbers. They make so much noise that they seem to honestly believe that the entire country (other than the Conservatives, of course - you can't have a revolution without a demon to blame all troubles on) is howling along with them. Another thing about Leftists is that they never learn from history. Eventually, as in the 1960's and 70's, they will go too far and they will find that the American people are anything but on their side. We will run out of tolerance and patience and marginalize them into even more complete irrelevance just as we did 30 years ago.
But a large portion of them do believe that their lust for power over others is about to be satisfied. They have control of Congress and believe that the White House is theirs for the taking. And that is why they are attacking their enemies with even more visciousness and lying than usual (and you didn't think that it was possible!). They're gleefully warming up for the inevitable purge.
*That link is from The National Review, April 1977 - 2 years after we had left Vietnam. If you need a refresher on what happened after we surrendered (or "redeployed" as the Democrats like to sweeten it up), it's a great article, as is the website it comes from.

Another thing about Leftists is that they never learn from history. Eventually, as in the 1960's and 70's, they will go too far and they will find that the American people are anything but on their side. We will run out of tolerance and patience and marginalize them into even more complete irrelevance just as we did 30 years ago.
But a large portion of them do believe that their lust for power over others is about to be satisfied. They have control of Congress and believe that the White House is theirs for the taking. And that is why they are attacking their enemies with even more visciousness and lying than usual (and you didn't think that it was possible!). They're gleefully warming up for the inevitable purge.
*That link is from The National Review, April 1977 - 2 years after we had left Vietnam. If you need a refresher on what happened after we surrendered (or "redeployed" as the Democrats like to sweeten it up), it's a great article, as is the website it comes from.

Only a Lib
Let's see...Rush Limbaugh has done nothing but praise and support the troops for the past 20 years.
Suddenly, one day, he decides to insult them?
Only a Liberal could be stupid enough to find any logic in that.

IED = Coward
This is the way that cowards, who are supposedly willing to die for Allah, fight. If they were so sure of those 72 virgins awaiting them, why would they use remote detonators instead of fighting to-to-toe like real men?
Luckily, they missed.
Luckily, they missed.
The End of the World
Do you realize that if any of the current crop of Democrat Presidential hopefuls wins, America will have a President that is farther to the Left than France's President???
God, please help us.
God, please help us.
No Joke
Q: How many Liberals does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Just one - they hold the light bulb and the world revolves around them.

The "Men" of the Left
It's no wonder that the Left could never get their "Revolution" started. This guy is a representative of their foot soldiers. I'd be more afraid of a bunch of 5th grade girls.
Excuse the vulgarity, but what a pussy!
In the beginning of the video you get the loudmouthed, self-righteous arrogance that only the ill-informed Leftist can seem to muster. You get the conspiracy theories of "rigged" elections and "Skull and Bones" and, of course the "impeach Bush" comments. I'd say that he's almost a stereotypical useful idiot but, when they all act the same, is it really a stereotype?
Then you get the "Don't tase me, bro!" comment. What a moron! If you're down on the ground being held by a bunch of cops and you can't finish a sentence without using the word 'bro', your extremely low I.Q. is painfully obvious to all. These are the people who actually believe that they're the "intellectual elite".
If I was a cop, I would have tased him just because of that stupid comment. If you look at the video, I'm not so sure that wasn't the case.
And then you get a minute of him squealing like a little girl: "Ohhh! Ohhhhh! Oh God! Ohhhhhhhh! Oh God!" Come to think of it, that's probably what his cell-mate heard from him in jail, too.
But he is one of the "men" of the Left. Most of their women are tougher than they are. Hell, my eight-year-old daughter is tougher than he is.

It's Time To Pull Out
Yes, I have finally reached the point where I agree with the Left: it’s time to pull out.
Time to pull out of the U.N.
They're worse than useless: they actually harm the very people whom they profess to protect. It's nothing more than a corrupt men's club for tyrants, dictators and/or genocidal terrorist nations.
We're wasting our time and money there. It's time to start a new organization that's dedicated to upholding real human rights, freedom and Democracy.
Time to pull out of the Geneva Convention.
Why not? America and its allies are the only countries that pay anything more than lip-service to it anyway.
China holds our pilots in direct contradiction to the Geneva Convention, Iran takes British sailors hostage in direct contradiction to the Geneva Convention, Palestinians, Al Qaeda and Hezbollah hide amongst civilians to escape retribution for intentionally killing other civilians - and I'm pretty sure that beheading your hostages isn't approved anywhere in the articles of the Convention.
The Geneva Convention only works when fighting civilized people. The U.N. only works when it's being run by civilized people. Neither are true today. Both institutions are being used against us by a bunch of savages (and that includes Communist countries such as China).
We don't need (or want) to turn into mirror images of those savages, but there's no reason that we should enable - or dignify - these reprobates by attending their meetings or adhering to archaic rules that force us to let known enemy combatants go free.
Once upon a time there was an organization called The League of Nations. It was the predecessor of the United Nations. It failed and was disbanded. The U.N. has obviously failed, but too many people make too much money from it for it to ever be disbanded.
But that doesn't mean that those of us who believe in truth and freedom can't secede.

He Knows His Audience
Besides the Democrat talking points in Osama bin Laden's latest video, did you notice anything else that was different?
He didn't have the rifle next to him like he usually does in these videos.
He'll probably start lecturing us on gun-control next. He loves those Democrats!

There's No Such Thing As a Dumb Question...
Unless you're listening to Democrat politicians grandstanding to their moronic, extremist supporters during a hearing in Congress. And, judging by the questions put to General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker today, the Democrat politicians aren't much more intelligent.
I would sell my soul to, just once, see someone being interrogated by the likes of Loretta Sanchez, Teddy Kennedy or Barbara Boxer say, "That's a stupid question. Why don't you quit playing to the Kos Kids so that we can get on with this serious business at hand?".
The shrieks of self-righteous, arrogant outrage would be music to the ears of Conservatives, Republicans and, I'm sure, a huge portion of middle America. I guarantee you that the general reaction would be, "It's about time!" The reason that the approval ratings of Congress are so low is that they are seen as arrogant rulers who are not to be questioned by anyone whom they deem to be "beneath" them.
The beauty of it would be that it would be just too juicy for the 24/7 news networks not to play over and over again, showing these people for exactly who they are.
Of course, that person would never be confirmed to anything by the ruling party, but so what? Some day the administration should put somebody up for some confirmation (Attorney General?) who doesn't care whether they get the job or not, just to make that statement.
It'll never happen, of course. It doesn't matter how vicious, insulting and nasty the Democrats get, the Republicans just refuse to play hardball - or even to point out their nastiness. They just sit there and pretend that their honor hasn't just been insulted. They just answer the question.
The Democrats in Congress are no different than the Democrats in the "real world": they are children. And, when they aren't called on their childish behavior, they smirkingly feel like they just got away with something. If, some day, Republicans had the nerve to point out their childishness, the resulting ugly tantrum that they'd throw would be invaluable for showing people just whom they are voting for.

Bumper Sticker Party
Many years before John Edwards called the War on Terror a "bumper sticker war" I noticed that if the car in front of you was covered in bumper stickers, nine-out-of-ten times they were Lefty slogans.
And, more often or not, they were on rusty, old pieces of junk belching out blue smoke into our fragile atmosphere. Maybe not as much as Al Gore's Lear jet trips, but the stupidity and/or blindness to their own hypocrisy is the same.
For lack of anything better to do, and simple curiosity, I did an image search on Yahoo! for "bumper sticker". It was really no surprise when I found that almost every one that had anything to do with politics was from the Leftist point of view:
It's no surprise. As I've always said, for all of their talk of being the "intellectual elite", the vast majority of those on the Left are too stupid to realize how stupid they are. Any argument much beyond "Cheney is Satan" immediately confuses them.
It's the reason that they have no ideas. It's the reason that any "debate" with them shortly turns into sneering false-condescension (born of their insecurity) and personal insults on their part.
It's possible that some of them are actually somewhat intelligent...but they don't know how to think. And the two things are not the same.

The Mote in Her Eye
Steve Sack's Aug. 31 cartoon of Fred Thompson "testing the waters" makes me wonder how the ex-senator would govern if he became president. Although it became obvious to everyone that Thompson has been running for president, he refused for months to declare his candidacy so he could maintain secrecy about contributions and not have to abide by the rules that govern declared candidates. Secrecy and disregard for the rule of law have been hallmarks of the Bush administration. The last thing this country needs is more of the same.
- MARY VRABEL, MINNEAPOLIS
How much do you want to bet that this dolt voted for Bill Clinton - twice! - in the 1990's? And how much do you want to bet that, if Hillary is nominated by the Democrat Party, Mary will vote for her, too?
It can't be conscious hypocrisy. It has to be just plain stupidity.
Welcome to the world of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Letters to the Editor page. If you're ever out of material for your blog, it's a goldmine.
UPDATE: After a brief search, Mary Vrabel's name just happens to turn up on Peacemakersite.org's list of grant recipients. She's apparently (surprise!) a public school teacher in Minneapolis. It's no wonder that she's blinded by ideology when she's getting financial help from a group who gives out money for things like "Restorative Circles", "Bullying prevention", "Respect", "Anger management" and every other left-wing, feel-good fad out there.
Is it any wonder that inner-city schools are crap?
Absloute Proof of MSM Bias
Osama:
"It has now become clear to you and the entire world the impotence of the democratic system and how it plays with the interests of the peoples and their blood by sacrificing soldiers and populations to achieve the interests of the major corporations...""the reeling of many of you under the burden of interest-related debts, insane taxes and real estate mortgages; global warming and its woes..."
Is it just me, or is everything that Osama bin Laden said the exact same things that Democrat voters read and hear - and believe - in the MSM every day?
Could it be that bin Laden has been closely following the problems with "real estate mortgages" in America?
Osama, like the Democrat voters in this country, apparently has no idea that the media from which they get their "news" is completely biased towards the Democrats. His belief that the MSM in this country actually represents what most people think proves that they absolutely dominate the "news" that comes from America.
Its no wonder that he endorses the Democrat Party.Friday, September 07, 2007
Who is More Disgusting?
It's hard to know who to dislike more: the racists or the Socialist:
Hard to pick sides on that one. The ideological stupidity kind of cancels each side out.
When Steve Cohen, a white man, was elected last year to represent mostly black Memphis in Congress, it was seen as a sign that racial divisions were fading in this Southern city.
But less than a year later, Cohen is facing a movement led by black pastors and political activists to defeat him in 2008 and send a black representative to Washington instead.
"He's not black, and he can't represent me. That's the bottom line," the Rev. Robert Poindexter told a local newspaper after a meeting last week of the Memphis Baptist Ministerial Association at which Cohen was jeered and booed.
The black preachers have other grudges against Cohen: He was the primary force behind the creation of the lottery in Tennessee; he spoke out against a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage; and he complained about a reference to Jesus in a prayer before a state Senate session.
Hard to pick sides on that one. The ideological stupidity kind of cancels each side out.
The Conservative Wrench in the Works
Those on the Left live every day sleepwalking through life in their Utopian dream of a perfect world.
We on the Right are the train passing in the night, the airplane flying overhead, the barking dog, the thunderstorm that threatens to wake them from their dream and bring them back to hated reality.
That is why they hate us.

Queer Eye for the Muslim Guy
I really don't have anything to say about the whole "beard thing". I just wanted to use that header on a post.
