Yeah, I am aware. William Jefferson was defeated. I’m glad to hear it. It should have happened eons ago. Like any corrupt politician, He should be in jail.
All I have to say about it. Sorry, no brilliance on this one. 😀

Story via WXII TV:
PILOT MOUNTAIN, N.C. — A woman and 2-year-old daughter welcomed home a sergeant Thursday night who had been serving in Afghanistan since March.
Kensley Penney said she promises this year she has been a good girl. She said she does just what grandma asks and kisses her special doll with her father’s picture every night.
“When we go to bed, we say prayers and ask Jesus to keep him safe,” Kensley’s grandmother, Patty Childress, said.
Kensley is hoping these good deeds will be enough for Santa Claus to give her the two special requests she has this Christmas.
“I asked her if she wanted a new doll or a stroller, and she said, ‘I don’t know,’ and then a week later she said, ‘I want a blue truck and my daddy,'” Childress said.
Her father, Sgt. Scottie Penney, has been serving in Afghanistan since March.
Penney’s wife, April, said it’s been hard for her, but that it’s been especially tough on Kensley.
Scottie Penney’s family worked very hard to keep him in his daughter’s life, even though he was thousands of miles away from home.
“There are pictures all over the house, and like I said, she has our daddy doll,” Childress said. “When she can, she gets on the Web cam with him and makes funny faces. She knows who daddy is.”
In fact, Kensley sleeps cuddled up with her father every night. His picture is on a special doll that her family said she takes everywhere.
Thursday night, Penney walked into Pine Hills Church in Pilot Mountain to surprise his daughter.
The moment was caught on camera.
Kensley waited patiently in her grandmother’s arms to tell Santa Claus her special Christmas wish Thursday night.
“I want my daddy,” Kensley told Santa.
Kensley even practiced a song for Santa Claus, hoping it will help get her wish granted.
Kensley’s constant singing must have paid off, because the Pine Hills Church Santa delivered her Christmas wish right in time for the holidays.
“It was pretty nice,” Scottie Penney said. “We have been planning this for some time. I had mixed emotions about how (Kensley) would react.”
The rest of the room burst out in tears when Kensley and her father reunited.
Scottie Penney said it was also a surprise for him and his wife to see the community supporting them.
“It was very emotional,” he said. “I didn’t see anyone who had a dry eye. It was so great to see the love and support of our community and people who care.”
You see, it is because of stuff like this right here. Is why I am a Libertarian Conservative Blogger, this is why I decided that the Democratic Party was not that Party that loves America, Respects it’s Military. I mean, you need look no further than Michelle Malkin’s Blog to see that.
….and while I am on it. These are the people that voted for that idiotic Communist NEGRO into the White House, them are HIS people.
God Bless that little Blondie bundle of Joy. Especially on Christmas Day. 😀

Oh Man, this is too funny!
Obama’s Speechwriter got busted…..on Facebook!
On Left Obama Speech Writer Jon Favreau
Question No. 58 in the transition team vetting document for the Obama White House asks that applicants: “Please provide the URL address of any websites that feature you in either a personal or professional capacity (e.g. Facebook, My Space, etc.)”
Question No. 63 asks that applicants “please provide any other information … that could … be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the President-Elect.”
For a while there this afternoon, President-elect Barack Obama’s immensely talented chief speechwriter, 27-year-old Jon Favreau, might have been pondering how to address that question.
That’s when some interesting photos of a recent party he attended — including one where he’s dancing with a life-sized cardboard cut-out of secretary of state-designate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, and another where he’s placed his hand on the cardboard former first lady’s chest while a friend is offering her lips a beer — popped up on Facebook for about two hours. The photos were quickly taken down — along with every other photo Favreau had of himself on the popular social networking site, save for one profile headshot.
Asked about the photos, Favreau, who was recently appointed director of speechwriting for the White House, declined comment. A transition official said that Favreau had “reached out to Senator Clinton to offer an apology.”
Favreau is not the first campaign aide whose online presence has proved awkward. Last March, John McCain aide Soren Dayton forwarded an anti-Obama YouTube video to his private Twitter feed linking Obama with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, leading to his suspension from the campaign. And in 2007, two bloggers hired by former North Carolina senator John Edwards stepped down after blog posts they had written before he hired them became a subject of controversy.
Favreau’s case seems unlikely to be so dire; Clinton senior adviser Philippe Reines cast the photos as evidence of increased bonhomie between the formerly rival camps.
“Senator Clinton is pleased to learn of Jon’s obvious interest in the State Department, and is currently reviewing his application,” he said in an e-mail.
ROFLMAO! 😆 I bet they are reviewing his application! 😀 HA!
Yes They can! Yes they did! and… Yes, they got caught! 😆
Never, never, never, post stuff on facebook that you do not want coming back to hunt you!

I’ve criticized Michelle Malkin in times pasts, when I felt that she has went off the rails.
Today, is not going to be one of those days.
Michelle writes in her column today about the stupidity of the conspiracy theorists. One of them, as that morally depraved, Homosexual “So-Called” Conservative; Andrew Sullivan, who still, to this day, does not believe that Sarah Palin’s baby was hers. Another is a group of ignorant morons who are attempting to prove that President-Elect Barack Obama is not a true United States Citizen.
Both of these are rooted in one thing, and one thing only. Stupidity. I believe that people that are going after Obama for one reason and one reason only. Abject Racism.
…and before anyone brings up my photo in the sidebar. It is one thing to inform the Minorities that I do not believe in diversity. It is another to waste my tax dollars, to attempt to bring a lawsuit to the supreme court, that has absolutely no merit at all.
So, to Michelle; I say thank you. Thank You for bringing up what I have been saying for a while now. Some people just need to accept the fact that a BLACK MAN is going to be our next President and get over it and MOVE ON!
Further more, let me bring up another factoid. Many of you may have heard about the ridiculous e-mail that has been forwarded around, that Obama was a Muslim, and then the one that he was not a true citizen. Do you know where those ridiculous e-mails originated from? No? Well, I will tell you. They originated from a White Nationalist Forum called “Stormfront.” (Google it… I dare not send those turkeys traffic)
How I did know this was the case? Way back when those e-mails first started circulating. I took the first paragraph and entered it into google, guess which site came up first in the results? That’s right, Stormfront. When I brought this to light on my old blog, which was originally called “The Populist”. Someone must have brought it to the attention of “Stormfront’s” Management, because not too long after that, the entry disappeared, interestingly, it disappeared from Google’s cache too.
The really sick and sad part is this. Some idiot wrote an Op-Ed over at the Conservative Voice, which has since merged with Townhall, he took most, if not all, of the information from this e-mail; without citing his source, of course, and wrote this long editorial stating that Obama was a Muslim and not a United States Citizen.
My point is this, people point the finger of accusation of why John McCain lost this election. The only people that those within the G.O.P. should be blaming; is themselves and their own base.
Do not misunderstand me; I dislike the idea of Barack Obama being the President just as much as anyone else. But to delve into the arena of Conspiracy Theory and blatant stupidity does nothing to further the cause of Conservatism. It simply makes us look one way and one way only; Stupid!
I’m sure you’ve heard about the infamous hang up. She’s now explaining herself, to a local Florida radio station. It is quite the rib tickling conversation.
It also seems that that the poor Representative now has some angry constituents, who think she did it on purpose. Now that puts a whole new shine of this. I mean, she was a disbelieving dolt, but nobody believes she is a dolt. There’s many a dolt who would love to have that problem! 😉
I would give a kidney to hear those calls! 😛 “I was an idiot!, “Uh-huh Sure you were!” Comedy Gold people…
Exit Question: More Whiny Obama Supporters?
(Thanks AllahPundit)
As you might know, I get a great deal of video from Breit Bart’s Video Website. I also am signed up for his RSS feeds. I happen come across a video of a debate between John Ziegler and Nate Silver.
Here is the video of this most interesting back and forth:
Okay, here’s my impressions. First off John Zeigler’s phone audio was way much louder than Nate Silver’s. Which made hearing Nate harder. You would think an organization like Breit Bart TV would know how to use a computer EQ system or have a mixing board to evenly regulate sound from the Telephone.
Second of all, Zeigler comes off sounding like a arrogant prick, kinda like some smart assed drunk in a bar, that I once had to punch in the face — long story there. I can understand Zeigler not agreeing with Silver’s political idology, but to take a condescending tone with someone like that, is just totally unprofessional. I must say Nate Silver handled himself very well. If that would have been me, I would told Zeigler to go get bent and if he had a problem with it, I would have invited him to meet me somewhere and he would be needing some dental work, when I got done with him. 😡
Not only this, I do not buy the claim that he cannot release the unedited footage and make it available on the internet. He chooses not to.
More importantly is this. Honestly, who gives two flips about polls, really! I mean the election is over. Obama going to be President, Conservatives like Zeigler need to just accept it and move on.
For what it is worth; no, I do not buy that Breit Bart is neutral and that the Z-Cast is A-Political. They’re a Conservative website. Which promotes and portals videos to a particular audience.
Update: Yes, I know, the video auto plays. I checked the code, there is no way to change that. It’s lame, it sucks, but I can’t fix it. Sorry. 🙁
The last time that one of these wonderful little editorials was written; in any sort of earnest, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were still trying to convince the rest of the country that one of them would make the best candidate for President of the United States of America. John McCain was just being realized as a serious candidate and the Presidential race seemed like it was most likely going to last for the rest of my adult life.
Since that time, after one too many weeks of her carrying out a President campaign that was chalk full of many an error of comedic proportion; and after being told that waiting around for your opponent to be assassinated was just outrageously morbid. Hillary Clinton; finally, did the World, the Democratic Party, The Feminist Movement, and anyone else you want to add to that list; a huge favor and dropped out of the Presidential race. However, Hillary did this after ripping a gigantic gulf size hole, the size of the Grand Canyon between the Democratic Party faction lines. Heck, as it is now, a Liberal Feminist Lesbian and an African-American cannot walk down the street in New York City without snarling at one another. How is that for Hope and Change?
Once Hillary did finally get it through the miles of granite between her ears, that the American people wanted Obama, and not her —- she finally stepped aside. However, not before doing a little dog and pony show with Obama. I mean, the woman does have an ego; they had to make her feel good, one last time.
At this point is when the real action started, John McCain was anointed the golden boy of his Party, and that is when the bare-knuckle brawl between McCain and Obama and their many surrogates began. There was a point when this writer was not sure what was worse, the race baiting of the Obama surrogates or some of the more moronic racism of the surrogates of McCain.
One of the biggest tragedies of this Presidential race was that the contenders of Barack Obama made some of the same silly mistakes, McCain and Hillary made the same misfires, miscalculations, and bad decisions. This proves quite a few things. One it proves that a Caucasian cannot effectively run against an African-American Candidate. The reason is the “race card” issue, when cornered on his lack of experience; Obama’s surrogates would play that card and play it quite effectively. This would cause a misfire by the other campaign and for the other campaign to be looked upon as racist. This is what happened in Hillary Clinton and John McCain’s campaigns both; and they both made the same dreadfully awful mistakes.
However, I would committing a crime of epic proportions, if I did not acknowledge the fact that the Republican Party and those controlling John McCain’s campaign made some horrifically awful mistakes. The Republican Party and John McCain’s campaign both tried to paint Obama as a terrorist by proxy. The sick part is that they learned it from Hillary’s Campaign. The very worst thing that Obama did was sit on a board with a man, who committed criminal acts; that were done in opposition to the Vietnam War. These acts, horrific as they were, happened when Obama was all of eight years old. How could anyone, who has a sane rational mind; want to try to subjugate a man to that sort of scrutiny over something he had no control over?
Barack Obama’s Pastor though was another matter entirely, this author does not entirely believe Obama’s claim that he did not ever hear his Pastor, say incendiary comments from the pulpit. Obama might have heard the sermons and chose to ignore the content that he found offensive, which is an entirely plausible scenario. It did however; bring up some very harsh differences between the White and Black cultures, sometimes to an uncomfortable and unsettling pitch at times.
The amazing thing was that; as much as I disagree with a great deal of his political ideologies, Obama handled all of the distractions and the controversies —- I refer to the man himself, not his tag-along followers; with a great deal of grace. Obama did not run your “A typical” African-American campaign. Obama ran a campaign like a very intelligent Harvard Graduate would run a campaign. Obama’s campaign was not about the; whether real or imagined —- “Struggle.”
….and so, the election happened. There was this release of an overwhelming feeling of, “Finally, it’s over.” Obama Won. The Republican Party got a lesson of how just how smart America really is, despite their attempts to paint Americans as complete idiots. John McCain went back to the senate, Obama is now picking staff, Hillary, rewarded for her hard work, and maybe the Dog and Pony Shows, will be the new Secretary of State. Yeah, she is getting Condi’s old job. As they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Bloggers and pundits —-Liberal and Conservative alike are now facing a very daunting task and that is, trying to figure out, what happens now? At the risk of sounding like Arlo Guthrie — I mean, most pundits and we Bloggers made it our life’s daily chore to analyze the Election. I mean, Liberal Bloggers made it their life’s work to mock, and generally hate George W. Bush. I mean…Now what?
I know what this author will do. First, like many Americas who lived through the Bush era, I will happily put the past 8 years behind me. I will, as someone who voted for Bob Barr, praise Obama after he is sworn in as President, when he does something that I think is great and wonderful. Likewise, as a member of the loyal opposition, I will criticize Obama when I feel he has something that goes against the political beliefs that I hold as a somewhat Moderate Conservative Libertarian. It will be fair, not overly partisan, but rooted in what I consider to be fair. I will not stoop to the stupidity of some on the right; who do feel the need to mock the man, every time he takes a breath. However, my criticism will strictly be policy based. Anything other than that is either racist in nature or goes into the realm of partisan idiocy. Something I despise as a rule.
Therefore, there you have it. Where we have been and where we are going. Stick around; the mountaintop is coming on quickly. I just want to be able to see it for myself.
Yes, Ladies and Gents, It appears that there will be still some hope for balanced Government! 😀
Saxby Chambliss has won the race for Georgia Senate.
The numbers:
Chambliss (R) 1,145,192– Martin (D) 820,737 with 92% reporting as of this posting
This closes down the notion that Barack Obama would have a filibusterer proof Senate….. yay! 😀
Some of you might be shocked to know that I am extremely happy about this. I am happy for a number of reasons; First off, this will force Obama to have to utterly abandon his agenda of radical socializing the United States of America. It will slow the Liberal agenda of some of the Liberal Left.
But most important of all, it insures that there will still some semblance of balanced Government in Washington D.C.; I believe that balanced Government is paramount in a free and democratic society.
So, while I would have like to have seen more Conservatives in the Senate. I’ll take this one!
A big congratulations to the Senator Chambliss! 😀
….and on a Personal note, Whitfield County, which is the County Seat for Dalton, Georgia voted 9,738 to 3,533 in favor of Chambliss, I guess them Dalton folk are smarter than I’ve given them credit for! 😉

Man, I have not been up and hour and I am already reading stupidity.
From the Neo-Con Rag, The Weakly SubStandard, some bozo named : (Commenting on this piece here)
How does the Times know what many Americans have been “feeling in their bones”? Does Edmund L. Andrews, who wrote the story, also cover orthopedics? And isn’t the appropriate saying here that Americans have been feeling recession pains “in their pocketbooks,” not their bones? Based on anecdotal evidence, I can report that all that most Americans feel in their bones is the onset of arthritis and maybe a strange tingling right before a thunderstorm.
No, you ignorant piece of stupid shit. The people of America have been feeling this in their fucking bones; because they have been feeling it in their fucking wallets. Of course, you wealthy fucking Neo-Cons would not know a damn thing about that. I mean, you’ve made your fucking money getting rich off being a cheerleader for that beedy-eyed son-of-a-bitch in the White House. So, you would not know what it is like to be under the gun financially.
Folks, do you need any more proof than this, that the fucking idiot Neo-Conservatives, who control the Republican Party at the moment; are so out of touch with the reality that they act as if they’re living in an alternative universe?
No wonder the Republican Party got their asses kicked to the wilderness by the Democrats. It’s because of this stupid shit right here.
The conservative talk show host — who urged supporters during the primary season to back Clinton in an effort to prolong the bitter Democratic presidential nomination fight — told ABC’s Barbara Walters that Clinton’s selection as Secretary of State was “a brilliant stroke” by President-elect Obama.
He said the move was a political master stroke, effectively ruling out a primary challenge in four years. “You know the old phrase, ‘You keep your friends close and your enemies closer?’ How can she run for president in 2012?” he asks. “She’d have to run against the incumbent and be critical of him — the one who made her Secretary of State.”
The question is Rush, is whom exactly is getting “stroked” here.
The United States of America, that’s whom! 😮
I predict that this woman will be a DISASTER as Sec of State. You watch and see. 😡
Idiot moonbats. 🙄
We’re so damn screwed and these idiot, Neo-Conservative talking heads have got their heads so far up their asses that they don’t even see it. 😡
During this Election the theme was all the rage; Change. A different kind of Government promised. A new direction. A new vision for America. A new start.
Sadly, that whole mantra turned out to be nothing but a campaign slogan. A well orchestrated lie. A lie that was ate up by the hungry masses who truly desired change. A lie that was swallowed and digested by Conservatives and Republicans, Libertarians, and of course, the mindless masses that are known as Democrats.
I am, of course, referring to the appointment of Senator Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.
This is the person, who’s husband’s administration killed seventy-six people including 21 children and two pregnant women in cold blood in Waco, Texas on February 28, 1993.
This is the same woman who’s husbands Administration sold the U.A.W. and the American auto worker up the river, when they passed North American Free Trade Agreement.
This is the same Woman, who’s husband’s Administration ripped a innocent boy from the arms of a loving family and forced him back to the hell that is communism on December 6, 1993.
No Hillary, We have not forgotten. Nor will we ever.
This appointment of Hillary Clinton shows that the Democratic Party has still not let go of the disastrous era, that is known as the Clinton era of the Democratic Party. It shows that this power hungry woman will never be satisfied until her poisonous pen has been dipped into the inkwell that is the oval office.
The Following was made by me. It is my feelings towards those who opposed and still oppose the help that the Detroit Auto Industry needs. It might cost me readers, but it is how I feel.
I declare this photo PUBLIC DOMAIN. Feel free to copy it and post it to your Blogs.
Thank you for your support
Update: I posted this for one reason and one reason alone, Washington D.C. will hand over 4 BILLION dollars to Wall Street banks and not even flinch, but when Detroit needs help, they are like “You need a plan.” I am not saying that the companies are not at fault. But it just strikes me as pretty damned funny that Wall St. Gets that help and Detroit gets told to go fuck themselves, in essence. So, Yeah, I’m a little pissed off and a bit jaded at this point. Can’t you tell??!

It is not every day that I agree with the Neo-Conservative Blogger. But today is an exception.
It seems that some idiotic liberal columnist, by the name of Thomas L. Friedman is now encouraging the Liberal Democrats to steal credit for the Iraq War.
Friedman Writes:
In the last year, though, the U.S. troop surge and the backlash from moderate Iraqi Sunnis against Al Qaeda and Iraqi Shiites against pro-Iranian extremists have brought a new measure of stability to Iraq. There is now, for the first time, a chance — still only a chance — that a reasonably stable democratizing government, though no doubt corrupt in places, can take root in the Iraqi political space.
That is the Iraq that Obama is inheriting. It is an Iraq where we have to begin drawing down our troops — because the occupation has gone on too long and because we have now committed to do so by treaty — but it is also an Iraq that has the potential to eventually tilt the Arab-Muslim world in a different direction.
I’m sure that Obama, whatever he said during the campaign, will play this smart. He has to avoid giving Iraqi leaders the feeling that Bush did — that he’ll wait forever for them to sort out their politics — while also not suggesting that he is leaving tomorrow, so they all start stockpiling weapons.
If he can pull this off, and help that decent Iraq take root, Obama and the Democrats could not only end the Iraq war but salvage something positive from it. Nothing would do more to enhance the Democratic Party’s national security credentials than that.
I am in agreement with Confederate Yankee in this one. This would be the most underhanded thing that the Far Lefty idiot Liberals could ever do. Since 2003, the Far Left has done nothing more than persecute the Bush Administration over Iraq and done nothing more than bad mouth, Insult, and outright disrespect our Nation’s Military and now they want to take credit for a war, that they did not even even fight in??!?!
You must be fucking kidding me. I’m sorry, but that’s just outright fucking bullshit. I mean, this is the same damned newspaper the printed this:
…..and they want to take credit for this war? Please.
That would be like the 1960’s hippies take credit for winning Vietnam. 🙄
Can you now see why I left the Democratic Party and will never, ever vote for anyone running in that Party again? That’s because that Party stopped the party of the “people”, like me, Moderates who did not buy into extremism of either stripe and sided with people of the communist, Anti-American far left. They have also abandoned their principles of “Property and Wealth are not entitlements to rule”, in favor of supporting a man, who’s greatest accomplishment was being born black.
Plain and Simple, Democrats or Liberals or as some like to be referred to as Progressives, which is such a fag sounding name; Hate America, Our Principles and our Military. It is a mental disorder of the highest order, and one I intend to fight on this Blog, for as long as I am able to write.
Dear Charlotte – You Are Bankrupt
By J.J. Jackson
Dear Charlotte,
Even though you are far too young yet to understand this letter, and you are rightfully more interested in seeing how much noise you can make by throwing all of our pots and pans on the floor, I wanted to let you know that I am sorry. I am sorry at what has happened to you. For you see, you are bankrupt.
I know that this will come as a shock to you once you are old enough to read these words considering that you have never held a job, earned a wage or incurred a single debt to your name. But it is true and I am sorry that I was not able to stop this from happening. Believe me, your mother and I tried and tried hard to not have you placed in such a situation. We have worked hard, paid our bills and lived within our means.
It is not because of us, your parents, that you are bankrupt however. Ask your mother when you are older about how every week I toiled at the computer and wrote numerous articles and blog postings about the misbegotten economic ideas of our nation. These are the ideas and practices which are the real reason why, before you can even think about needing to earn a wage to support yourself, you will be tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars in debt to the federal government.
I am sad for you. I am sad for you because these are not burdens that someone who is not yet even two years old should be saddled with. It is not right that the people of this once great nation have stripped you of so much at such a young age and sold you, without permission or without you having committed any crime, into slavery and bound you to serve them and their greed.
A lot of citizens have mortgaged your future for their own present comfort and security. Knowing how it feels to have my own future mortgaged by these same greedy, and dare I say unrighteous, souls I understand that it will only get worse for you as you grow up. Your mother and I already have a heavy weight on our own shoulders in which thousands of our hard earned dollars are taken by the government at the behest of the greedy who did not care enough about their own future to save for their own retirement and believe they are entitled to such at our expense. We are burdened with the heavy cost of other greedy folks who believe that we should pay for their health care because of the virtue of our success while they have not cared one bit to better their own lots in life and acquire that which they desire. And then there are the myriad of other thieves that have compiled agencies of government to demand from us to pay the other debts that they could not pay themselves.
My dear Charlotte, I know it will only get worse for you because it has only gotten worse for us. Already in the past year the government has issued hundreds of billions of dollars in debt certificates, paper money with no substantive backing simply printed on a whim, to line the pockets of people that have made more bad choices in ten minutes than you will make in your lifetime and who believe that they are “too big to fail.” The government calls these debt certificates “money,” but they are nothing more than I.O.U.s which are being financed by foreign governments that will demand the interest we are promising them in return for taking on this debt. Yes, you, my dear, will be tasked to repay these “loans” and all the other spiraling costs of a government run amok beyond sound limits.
For now you will not have to worry much about this looming crisis. There is so much that is of greater importance to you at this moment and for the next few years. You will thrill in chasing the dogs around the living room as they try to escape your all encompassing love and simple desire for just a hug and a sloppy doggie kiss from them. You will be learning your ABC’s and your 123’s and discovering new words. You will be busy trying to mimic new actions you see your mother and I doing and continue trying to sweep the floor, dust the table and clumsily sop up spills with paper towels. You will soon be learning how to ride a bike and to roller-skate. You will undoubtedly revel in enjoying the thrills of the first snow each year and then the first blossoms of spring that will follow. You will eagerly anticipate Christmas morning for many years and what Saint Nicolas has brought for you as a reward for being a good little girl.
I do not write this letter to you in order to strip you of the childish joy you will be filled with over the coming years. I do not expect you to even understand the severity of the situation in which you have been placed even when you are able to read these words, probably asking how to pronounce certain new and unfamiliar ones that you will come across in doing so. I do however write this letter to you hoping that someday, when you are older and wiser and buried by the avalanche of public debt that is bearing down on you, you will find it in your heart to forgive me for not being able to stop the pending disaster which will doom you to a life of servitude to the slothful and the greedy. I hope that you will forgive me for not being able to stop the bad policies of our government that will invariably force you to have to work even harder to support not only yourself but also support all those that the bureaucracy has decided that you must, in addition to yourself, while pursuing the American Dream.
I know that you will be able to succeed in bettering yourself and taking care of yourself but I am sad and disappointed in myself that I have not been able to make it easier on you to live free and experience a greater sense of liberty than the generation before you. I hope and pray that you will not hold it against us, your parents. And I want you to know that I will continue to do everything in my power so that I will, hopefully, one day be able to tear up this letter and never have you read it.
Love eternally,
Your Father
I was told by my Republican friends that only McCain would protect America. Only he understood national security and defense issues. My Democrat friends told me there was no way Obama would ever choose a Bush guy to run his Defense Department. After all, he was the anti-war candidate and Bush was the war-monger.
I take no pleasure in being right about this.
I wish I were wrong.
I wish the American people had a real choice in 2008.
But we didn’t. The fix was in. Either way, the “permanent establishment” was going to be running the government.
What you see happening with these Cabinet appointments is the proof of what I said.
And I’m still wondering what these guys mean when they talk about a “civilian national security force.” I have a feeling no matter what it is, I won’t like it.
The people that think that this guy was some sort of great President…..
………or the people that think that this feckless bitch is the new face of the Republican Party.
…..or the people that seem to agree with them…. It’s freakin’ scary people. 😮
Thank God in Heaven that I am a Libertarian and a Paleo Conservative and not some brain-dead Neo-Con. 🙄
Yes, there are sane Conservatives out there. We’re not all whack jobs. 😀

Back Story via WKMG:
An attack on a Jacksonville woman began as an argument over President-elect Barack Obama, according to police.
The incident took place Friday morning when a fight over politics turned into a physical battle, Jacksonville television station WJXT reported.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, Lindsy Whitfield, 46, got worked up when his friend told him she didn’t like Obama.
Police said Whitfield slammed a picture frame on the floor of the woman’s apartment, and then picked up the shattered frame, threw it and hit her in the face.
The enraged man then began beating the victim with his fists before telling her he was going to kill her, according to a police report.
The victim told police that after Whitfield stopped hitting her he grabbed her stun gun and ran out of the apartment.
Despite patrol efforts, Whitfield could not be located by police. He is wanted on charges of simple battery, petit theft and making threats.
Hmmmmm… I wonder what color he was? Hope Change! or I keel you! 😛
Gotta love those Moonbats! 😀

Remember affirmative action? It was that lovely social program that (again, ostensibly) promoted access to education and employment to minority groups, usually ethnic minorities, women and those considered socioeconomically disadvantaged. In practice, education and job opportunities wound up being made available to many who were either indolent or unqualified, as opposed to disenfranchised, resulting in inequity, a lowering of standards and bitterness on the part of qualified, industrious Americans who were passed over for these opportunities.
Man, he is ever right. God is he ever.

I have to love Fox News, they do not hesitate to inform the American people. Albeit, information that the American people already know.
The Big headline?
“Obama’s So-Called Office means nothing!”
Well, no shit, Sherlock Holmes. The office is symbolic, until he is officially installed. This is news?
The point that they were trying to make, disguised as some sort of earth shattering breaking news, is that Obama has been really looking Presidential and because of this, he is a rotten, no good, terrorist negro person.
This is from the same Network that made Sean Hannity and Bill Orally Bill O’Reilly.
Maybe I’ll get lucky and they will send Bill’s producer after me. I hope they do. I’ll introduce them to my two lawyers; Smith and Wesson.

You might notice the new thingy on the left there, that says “Let’s say thanks to our troops!” Well, what that is about is this here. Everyday our American Military serves this Country Faithfully. Right now, we have soldiers serving in two wars. Not matter what you feelings about the events leading up to Iraq, or the fact that we’re even there; one thing that cannot be debated, argued or even dismissed, is the fact that our United States Military is the best, the bravest and the strongest. It is also a fact that they are doing the jobs, that the rest of us will not or cannot do…. and for this the fine men and women serving deserve our praise, honor and respect. Not to be ignored, there are also brave men and women fighting a war, against extremists in Afghanistan, in a country that is increasingly hostile to our presence.
Seeing all of this, I believe that some respect is due. So, I ask you, nicely, to click on the widget on the left and send a nice message to our Military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Conservatives were called racist for opposing immigration policies pushed by the Bush administration, other Big-Government Republicans and Democrats. The wrong immigration policy, under which people here unlawfully would receive benefits at taxpayer expense, would also allow them to steal jobs from low-income Americans, and would be a slap in the face to immigrants who came to America legally through a long and sometimes expensive process.
Conservatism is a threat to liberalism because bigotry is counterproductive to conservatives, but is a cornerstone of liberalism. Economic conservatism values the productivity, work, intelligence, integrity, motivation and other virtues of the individual. Religious conservatism is based in the fundamental premise that we are all born of equal value in the eyes of God.
Liberals who evade the merits of policy arguments by resorting to calling white conservatives “racists” or African-American conservatives “Uncle Toms” don’t merely demonstrate their own ignorance, they cheapen the cause against real racism.
I hate having to ride the coattails of other Blogs. But I saw this headline and I let out a rather loud guffaw.
Huckabee: The only difference between me and Palin is that she looks better in stilettos
and… the quote:
Asked about Sarah Palin, he responded, “She, uh, was an appropriate choice, because she put John McCain back in the game.” That was the get-along answer, but a few minutes later the new, aggrieved Huckabee resurfaced. He recalled, “It was funny that all through the primary—I mean literally up until McCain got enough delegates to win—people said, ‘You know, Huckabee’s really running for Vice-President. Gee, Huckabee would be a great Vice-President.’ And from that day forward, when I actually was no longer running for President, nobody ever said, ‘Gee, Huckabee would be a great Vice-President.’ ” Neither was he quite so unperturbed by the Palin pick: “I was scratching my head, saying, ‘Hey, wait a minute. She’s wonderful, but the only difference was she looks better in stilettos than I do, and she has better hair.’ It wasn’t so much a gender issue, but it was like they suddenly decided that everything they disliked about me was O.K. . . . She was given a pass by some of the very people who said I wasn’t prepared.”
Go read the Blog entry, as Allah breaks it down, very well.

One item that made breaking news this week shouldn’t have surprised anyone – the possible selection of Hillary Clinton by Barack Obama as Secretary of State. And it’s a possible choice that has excited more than a few Republicans.
Neoconservatives afraid that a President Obama might even partially live up his promise to remove troops from Iraq have been warming up to the new administration and hedging their bets where they can. In his ongoing role as neocon concierge, Sen. Lindsey Graham’s arranged meeting between John McCain and Obama was one step, as was Graham’s blustering praise for Obama’s selection for Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, a man who few conservatives have a kind word about. “This is a wise choice by President-elect Obama” glowingly said Graham of Emanuel.
And one can only assume that if Clinton were to take over for Condoleezza Rice, Graham and his boss John McCain will have the same enthusiasm and for the same reason. Republican Senator John Kyl, who teamed up with Joe Lieberman to get Congress to declare the entire Iranian army a terrorist organization as a precursor to possible war, said of Clinton as possible Sec. of State “It seems to me she’s got the experience. She’s got the temperament for it.” The Weekly Standard’s Michael Goldfarb was just as praiseful and more explicit about his excitement, “On the issues, Clinton’s a hawk. Not only did she vote to authorize the war in Iraq, she… went so far as to connect Saddam to al Qaeda… She threatened to ‘obliterate’ Iran (and) on matters of diplomacy, Clinton’s views are not so different from those held by John McCain and most Republicans. Clinton would be a fine Secretary of State… And perhaps she could even present the case for war with Iran to an insubordinate United Nations.”
Not since Operation Chaos during the primaries have we seen some Republicans so anxious to jump off the “Stop-Hillary Express” and on the Clinton bandwagon. The sort of Republican who cheers for Hillary is the same sort who embraced Lieberman. No matter how many liberal positions either held, socialized healthcare, open borders, higher taxes, anti-2nd amendment, it didn’t matter. As with Lieberman, so long as Hillary is prepared to continue sending U.S. troops around the world to continue the neoconservative mission of American global empire, Clinton would be their gal.
The Atlantic Monthly’s Andrew Sullivan noticed the neocons seeming comfort with Hillary during the presidential primaries “Among the neoconservatives there is obviously sympathy for her (Clinton) against the most decisively anti-war candidates, Obama and Edwards. Many publicly prefer her to the insurgent anti-war candidate in their own ranks, Texas congressman Ron Paul. Privately some neocons see her as an important substantive successor to Bush, perpetuating and retroactively legitimizing the Iraq occupation. She did vote for it, after all, they tell themselves. And her constant attempt to stay to the right of her opponents in the primaries has led to the bizarre spectacle of some well known Republicans showering her with thinly veiled support on Fox News.”
The rise of the neoconservatives to prominence during the Bush administration and the decades old term finally becoming part of the popular lexicon has led many plain, old fashioned conservatives to wonder, “what is it about these ‘neoconservatives’ that is actually conservative?”
Absolutely nothing. Neoconservatism’s main premise, that drastically different cultures in some of the most contentious parts of the world can magically become democratic through sheer force of American will, is arguably the most radical policy ever put forth by any government, anywhere. And conservatives now concerned about “radicals taking over the White House,” need to take a good, hard look at not only the woman Obama might be trusting with foreign affairs, but the Republicans who adore her.
