No, Lou Dobbs would NOT make a good President

Posted on

Sorry folks, while I might respect Lou Dobbs greatly for his views on illegal immigration. I just do not feel he would make a good President.

Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs has never been elected to any government office, but he said Monday he’s considering a run for the White House in 2012.

During an interview on WTOP radio in Washington, Dobbs fueled rumors he’s seeking a bid for public office, possibly the highest office in the land, when asked if speculation about an Oval Office bid is “crazy talk.”

“What’s so crazy about that?” Dobbs, 64, replied. “Golly!”

So, is it crazy talk or is it real, the radio station persisted.

“Well, I’ll tell you this much — it’s one of the discussions that we’re having,” he said. “For the first time, I’m actually listening to some people about politics.”

“I don’t think I’ve got the nature for it,” he added. “[But] we’ve got to do something in this country and I think that being in the public arena means you’ve got to be part of the solution.”

via Ex-CNN anchor Lou Dobbs is considering running for president in 2012.

The reason I feel this way about Lou Dobbs is this; Lou might have his head on straight about Illegal Immigration. However, he has his head square up his rather large rear end up about economic policy and foreign trade in this country. The man is a flat out Liberal-minded protectionist, when it comes to foreign trade. If it were left to the likes of Lou Dobbs and his ilk, we would totally repeal NAFTA and all the rest of trade agreements that we have with the World and go back to the old days of outright protectionist policies, which would absolutely devastate our economy.

We already have a jobs problem now and our economy is shaky at best. The LAST thing we need is Lou Dobbs or someone of that idiotic mindset to waltz into the White House and rip the one remaining thing that is keeping the American economy afloat and somewhat stable. Going back to the protectionist policies of old would be a textbook case in abject stupidity. Let me remind my readers that it was the stupid economic protectionism and the unwillingness to engage other Countries, that caused the United States to become involved in the second World War; that and President Franklin Roosevelt’s committing of economic warfare against Japan. This triggered an act of desperation by the Japanese.

The main thing to remember about Lou Dobbs is; when he refers to the “Working Middle Class in this Country,” he is referring to the Union Workers. My question to Lou Dobbs is this; what about the NON-UNION working middle class? Do they not deserve protection too, or does that only apply to the Union workers at the big three auto plants?

Not only this, Lou Dobbs has a paranoid idiotic fetish with the so-called “North American Union” that he constantly rants and raves about. The problem is that the so-called evidence of such a thing does not even exist, except in the idiotic minds of those that believe that bunch of malarkey! The very idea that the United States of America would actually abandon its currency and join forces with Canada and Mexico is something of the Alex Jones paranoid stupidity class. Sovereignty is something that Mexico and Canada take quite seriously and I highly doubt that either of those Countries would want to be saddled with our enormous debt.

Thanks, but no thanks Lou; Stick to what you know; which is sitting behind a microphone and bloviating about your opinions on the politics of the day. This would be about as stupid as Bill O’Reilly running for President; he might be a great person and have some very good intentions; however he would be lousy for the job.

President Barack Hussein Obama, The Surrender Monkey

Posted on

Oh, this is just wonderful. Sounds like we are gearing up for a big time concession to the enemy.

An Afghan source in Kabul reports that U.S. Ambassador in Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry is holding secret talks with Taliban elements headed by the movement’s foreign minister, Ahmad Mutawakil, at a secret location in Kabul. According to the source, the U.S. has offered the Taliban control of the Kandahar, Helmand, Oruzgan, Kunar and Nuristan provinces in return for a halt to the Taliban missile attacks on U.S. bases.

…and they say that this was the “good war” and they wanted us to win it. I call bullshit. The Democrats never gave two shits about this war. In fact; they want us to LOSE this war, Just like they did Iraq, god-damned bastards. Vietnam 2.0 all over again…. 😡

Obama’s Magic Act falls flat in Asia

Posted on

Looks like the “Magic One” is not so magical:

There were only a few hours left before Air Force One was scheduled to depart for the flight home. US President Barack Obama trip through Asia had already seen him travel 24,000 kilometers, sit through a dozen state banquets, climb the Great Wall of China and shake hands with Korean children. It was high time to take stock of the trip.

Barack Obama looked tired on Thursday, as he stood in the Blue House in Seoul, the official residence of the South Korean president. He also seemed irritable and even slightly forlorn. The CNN cameras had already been set up. But then Obama decided not to play along, and not to answer the question he had already been asked several times on his trip: what did he plan to take home with him? Instead, he simply said “thank you, guys,” and disappeared. David Axelrod, senior advisor to the president, fielded the journalists’s; questions in the hallway of the Blue House instead, telling them that the public’s expectations had been “too high.”

The mood in Obama’s foreign policy team is tense following an extended Asia trip that produced no palpable results. The “first Pacific president,” as Obama called himself, came as a friend and returned as a stranger. The Asians smiled but made no concessions.

via US Foreign Policy: Obama’s Nice Guy Act Gets Him Nowhere on the World Stage – SPIEGEL ONLINE – News – International.

Looks like the magic of President Obama is gone; the foreign Governments know a weak leader when they see one. We Conservatives have been saying all along, that President Barack Obama was nothing more than an over marketed empty suite and it now appears that the rest of the World knows it too. It was good while it lasted it. This should serve, as a warning to the United States, be much more careful of whom or what you elected to be your leader. It also should serve as a warning as to why you do elect a man, because upon his ethnicity.

It just strikes me as highly ironic that Obama is now finally getting the critical press from the Liberal overseas and mainland media. We Conservatives were saying all of these things during the election and were derided as racist bigots and backward. Now it seems that the rest of America and abroad have realized it too. It is about time, maybe now we can expect some objectivity in the media; however, I shall not hold my breath, least I turn blue and die.

Uh-oh: Howard Dean: Dems ‘In Deep Trouble’ On Health Care

Posted on

Here we have one of the textbook examples of why you do not overreach in your campaign promises. It looks like the Democrats are in deep trouble over Healthcare:

One of the leading progressive champions of health care reform is pessimistic about the state of the debate in the Senate, saying he sees virtually no path to passing strong legislation and predicting potential congressional losses for Democrats as a consequence.

Former DNC Chair Howard Dean told the Huffington Post on Monday that Senate Democratic leadership was “in deep trouble” on health care, even after Majority Leader Harry Reid cobbled together over the weekend the 60 votes needed to get legislation to the floor. The problem was as much about politics as policy.

“I think if you passed the Senate bill tomorrow it would be OK. But then the problem is they don’t have any defense for their members in 2010,” Dean said, noting that the public option would not become operational until 2014. “On the other hand, if they drop the public option [to placate moderate members], I think they lose seats.”

“So this is really tough. I didn’t anticipate being in this position. I thought it would pass. Maybe Harry has some magic up his sleeve. But I don’t see how he gets those four votes [Sens. Joseph Lieberman (Conn.), Mary Landrieu (La.), Blanche Lincoln (Ark.) and Ben Nelson (Neb.)] without compromising the bill,” Dean concluded.

via Dean: Dems ‘In Deep Trouble’ On Health Care, The Only Options Are A Bad Bill Or 2010 Losses.

This situation here is what happens when a Political Party gets extremely arrogant and thinks that there will be no opposition to their plans. The Democrats thought that because of the screw-ups of George W. Bush and the Republicans in Congress that the Democrats would be able to run rough shod over everything and everyone and get their agenda fulfilled. They have since discovered that plan is not going to work. That is because not everyone is on board with the far leftist socialism of the White House. What we are seeing here is a repeat of 1994. When the Democrats lost control of congress; and the sitting President got moderate fast.

However, this time, I believe the Democrats have much more to lose. Such as credibility, I say that because the Democrats horrifically oversold this President and themselves in general. The Democrats had many people thinking lots of crazy stuff; and now, it seems that the honeymoon is over and many on the left are realizing that the sell job was nothing more than a well-fabricated lie. I knew this well before anyone else. In fact, I said as much on this blog, back when Obama first started gaining in popularity, that they were totally over marketing the President as a messianic figure to the Democrats and to the far-left; and it was nothing more than over-zealous marketing.

This healthcare debacle could spell the end or at least a marginalizing of that Party for a long time to come. Howard Dean knows the score; he has people on the ground. If he says the Democrats are in trouble, call the ambulance, because there is a serious problem.

Chris Matthews finally decides act like an objective journalist

Posted on

NewsBusters is treating this like a shocking moment; but I am not buying that at all. Chris Matthews must have finally figured out that President Barack Obama is much like his old boss Jimmy Carter. Because it seems that Matthews is finally climbing out of the tank and is finally going to report the truth about the President. This is no shocker to me, unlike some here on the right, I do not have a short term memory; back before President Obama was elected, Matthews was getting in trouble with the left for stuff that would come out of his mouth, mostly about Hillary Clinton.

The Video:

Transcript:

CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Welcome back. The word these days is optics, visuals, signals. In the Carter presidency, the optics were not exactly robust, and Ronald Reagan rode that to a big victory in 1980. Is the Obama White House sending some Carteresque signals these days? Some see that in the deep bow to the Emperor of Japan, an unforced error say critics. Then there was, there was what happened in China: Obama got nothing in the way of concessions over there in spite of playing the polite visitor. And his effort to speak directly to the Chinese was jammed by the government. Third, that decision to try the terrorists up in that federal court in New York City. Again, nothing that had to be done, and critics say it shows that Obama, his team doesn’t understand this is a war we’re in. David, that’s the question. These optics are everything in a president. Carter used to carry that garment bag over his shoulder. This president is he making mistakes like in China like in Japan?

DAVID IGNATIUS, WASHINGTON POST : I think he is coming across as stiff. He is talking too much sometimes and communicating too little. So the opposite of what we saw during the campaign. Although the decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York apparently was Eric Holder’s, it strikes me that it really is a mistake. I mean, there are too many bad things that could happen. There is no reason to have to have done this. And, you know, it’s a political feel for decision-making. That wonderful thing you just did about President Johnson’s feel for the moment. That’s what I think is missing now with this group in the White House. I don’t know where it’s gone. They certainly had it during the campaign. Maybe they’ll get it back. But it’s missing now.

MATTHEWS: It’s the political touch. You were in China. You just got back. Tell me about that. The president tried to speak to the Chinese people and apparently it was jammed. Tell me about that.

ANNE KORNBLUT, WASHINGTON POST: This was the big moment of the whole trip to Asia in fact, eight days in Asia he was going to speak to Chinese students in Shanghai unfiltered at least in his answers, and in fact the Chinese government, you know, they allowed the event to take place, but it was only shown locally on Shanghai television. People didn’t see it. The one piece of news he made in it saying that the internet should be free and people should have access dribbled out to the Chinese public and then started being deleted from all the Chinese websites. So, then, the following day he held a quote unquote press conference with the Chinese President Hu Jintao in which there were no questions and they read statements. Now, this is of course, this is the Chinese, it’s their home turf. They were allowed to do what they wanted to. That was the White House’s argument. And the White House haggled with them to get it more open.

MATTHEWS: The White House got jammed here. Did they know this was coming, that it wouldn’t get to the people?

KORNBLUT: Sure. They knew, previous presidents had been allowed to reach the Chinese public. They knew that it might or might not. It did. But they didn’t have to stand there at a press conference, call it a press conference, and not answer questions. And I think they’re expect, they may have raised expectations a little for how much they were going to be able to do.

Again, I am glad to see that Chris Matthews is actually starting to do his job and being an objective journalist and not some “In the Tank” apologist for the President. While doing so might not endure him to many on the far left; it will in fact possibly earn him some respect from some of us on the right. I have always viewed Chris Matthews as a “Left of Center” Bill O’Reilly and I respected him for not letting the far right or the far left come on his show and spout talking points. Chris always held their feet to the fire and made them look like idiots, if said people were programmed spokespersons. In short, I am glad to see that Chris Matthews is actually playing hardball again and no longer playing the DNC’s game of softball.

Washington Weekly Review

WWR Extra: Senate Moving Forward on Obamacare

On Saturday evening at 8:08 P.M. EST, the United States Senate — by a vote of 60-39 — agreed to proceed with the healthcare bill debate on the Senate floor.

So, as this debate in Congress will now rage on as to whether or not a massive, government-run health care system will be enacted, it is important that pro-family conservatives continue to stay informed.

Please, be sure to visit our Health Care Action Center and keep up with the latest facts and information – and then continue to let your members of Congress know how you feel.

MESSSAGE FROM ROBERTA COMBS, PRESIDENT, CHRISTIAN COALITION OF AMERICA

The lead item in this week’s “Washington Weekly Review” entitled “Senate Vote Saturday Night to Determine if America Will Turn to Socialism” may seem alarmist to some, but I have no doubt that it sums up the great importance of the vote in the United States Senate on Saturday night at 8 p.m. on Obamacare.  If the Senators vote to begin debate on this socialized medicine scheme cooked up during the last few weeks behind closed doors with no transparency whatsoever and with no Republican input whatsoever, then America will begin down the road to socialism as some European countries have chosen to do.

It is imperative that these 6 United States Senators be contacted immediately to urge them to vote NO on the Democrat’s “motion to proceed to debate the Senate’s health care reform bill,” a 2,074 page monstrosity:  Senator Ben Nelson from Nebraska; Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor from Arkansas; Senator Mary Landrieu from Louisiana; Senator Evan Bayh from Indiana and Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut.

Finally, Christian Coalition of America will score this extremely important vote in CCA’s 2009-2010 Congressional Scorecard.  A vote FOR “the motion to proceed to debate the Senate Democrat healthcare bill” will be a negative vote in the CCA congressional scorecard.  A vote FOR Senator Orrin Hatch’s pro-life amendment – similar to Democrat Bart Stupak’s amendment which passed 240-194 – will be listed in the CCA congressional scorecard as a positive vote.  It is important that you call your Senators now.  Time is of the essence.

Senate Vote Saturday Night to Determine if America Will Turn to Socialism

On Thursday, Christian Coalition of America (CCA) sent out an Action Alert to its supporters all over America and urged them to contact both of their United States Senators regarding the most important vote of their congressional careers.  The vote on the Democrats’ socialized medicine scheme, commonly called ObamaCare, will come up for a vote on the Senate floor Saturday night at 8 p.m.

Because the Senate’s ObamaCare bill pushed back implementation of the major provisions until 2014, it is important that you, your family and your friends understand the true cost of 10 years of implementation – a whopping $2.5 trillion.

The question is simply this: Will America leave its roots and give up much of the freedom bestowed on Americans by our Founders by turning to socialism?  That is exactly what the United States Senate will be voting on Saturday night at 8 p.m. when the Democrats attempt to begin debate on ObamaCare… (Read More)

Derelict Army Generals Need to Prosecute in Murder of Unborn Child

To add insult to injury, the prosecutors in the United States Army, have thus far refused to charge the Islamic terrorist with a 14th murder charge in the Ft. Hood massacre by ignoring the death of an unborn baby.  This mass murder, by a deranged Muslim terrorist, probably would not have occurred at all, if the leadership of the Army, led by Army Chief of Staff, General George Casey, had gotten rid of this Army Major jihadist in the first place.  The U.S. Army  —  infested with political correctness for the past several decades  —  had plenty of warnings that the terrorist, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, was about to explode.

The left-wing news media has been intent on ignoring the death of a 14th victim, besides the 12 soldiers and Army civilian, assassinated by terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan.  Indeed, the one word on this week’s cover of “Time” magazine was “terrorist” with a question mark behind “terrorist?” and a picture of the Islamic terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan in the background.

The United States Army – which has succumbed to left-wing political correctness for far too long – needs to immediately recognize the death of the 6-week-old unborn child of assassinated Army Private Francheska Velez, a 21-year old native of Barack Hussein Obama’s hometown of Chicago… (Read More)

European Court Tells Italians to Take Down Their Crucifixes

In a preview of what a stronger European Union government will look like when it comes to religious freedom, Italians were stunned to hear that the European Court of Human Rights ruled that they had been violating the “religious and educational rights” of their children for generations by forcing them to attend school in classrooms with crucifixes hanging on their walls.

The court’s decision came about as a result of a 2002 complaint:

…a Finnish-born mother of two children in the Italian school system objected to the crucifixes in their classrooms. The school principal was unmoved. Italy’s Constitutional Court dismissed her complaint. So she filed a case in Strasbourg, France, and now she’s won.

The Euro court’s ruling hasn’t exactly had the intended effect.  In fact, quite the opposite… (Read More)

Political Roundup: 11-20-09

Super Boots

Just how many jobs has the “stimulus” created?  Today’s Wall Street Joural points to an interesting claim by the Obama administration…

“…how many Americans does it take to make nine pairs of work boots? According to the White House’s recovery.gov site, an $890 shoe order for the Army Corps of Engineers, courtesy of the stimulus package, created nine new jobs at Moore’s Shoes & Services in Campbellsville, Kentucky…”

Yep.  Super Boots.  Able to create multiple jobs in a single laceup.

Guess who’s not arresting illegal aliens… (Read More)

The Democratic Party is scared to death of Sarah Palin

Posted on2 Comments

Lookie what bounced into my inbox:

Right now, Sarah Palin is on a highly publicized, nationwide book tour, attacking President Obama and his plan for health reform at every turn.

It’s dangerous. Remember, this is the person who coined the term “Death Panels” — and opened the flood gates for months of false attacks by special interests and partisan extremists.

Whatever lie comes next will be widely covered by the media, then constantly echoed by right-wing attack groups and others who are trying to defeat reform.

As we approach the final sprint on health reform, we can’t afford more deception and delay. We need to be ready for anything — and have the resources to respond with ads, events, and calls to Congress when the attacks come.

So we’re setting a big goal: $500,000 in the next week to help push back against Sarah Palin and her allies. Please chip in $5 or more to help reach our goal.

Please donate

Earlier this month, Palin publicly said that she hopes health reform will be “dead on arrival.” And since then, she’s been working fiercely toward that goal.

On Tuesday, Palin went on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show where she outrageously — and falsely — suggested that Americans could “face jail time as punishment” if they don’t buy insurance.

Palin has many more interviews scheduled on Hannity and other conservative shows in the next few weeks, with more platforms to go after the President. As soon as she does, the rest of our opponents will likely parrot those attacks.

We need to be prepared. And we’re counting on you help. Can you chip in $5 or more?

Margaret and Helen’s Thanksgiving Letter to the Family 2009

Posted on

A very funny posting, by two of the funniest ladies in Blogging. I don’t care of they are liberals. The writing is just absolutely hilarious. Check out their blog too; it’s a great read.

Dear Family,

This year I am thankful to have you as my family rather than a normal American family. I say that because Sarah Palin is fond of talking about her family being a normal American family.

Last time I checked everyone in my family knows where Africa is on a globe. Everyone goes to college after high school. We’ve had no teen pregnancies as of yet and no one has appeared in Playgirl. If the Palins are a normal American family, I guess my bunch of anti-American socialists are fine by me.

But we have our own issues. For instance, some of us are Aggies and others are Longhorns. Which makes for interesting choices for some of you. If a football game is more important than Thanksgiving, then consider this my last will and testament: When I die, it’s all going to charity.

Thanksgiving dinner will be moved to Friday after all of you have returned from your important tailgating party. And now that I have made that little sacrifice, I am sure you will all work extra hard to comply with a few rules.

1. Cloe. I am begging you honey. None of that Jello crap. No one eats it and the garbage stinks for a week after I throw it out. You and Jello are like Palin and McCain. How many times before you learn no one wants seconds much less firsts.

2. Jennifer. Your children are cute. We all can agree on that. Your husband’s video camera capturing every runny nose and bowel movement– not so much. Keep this up honey and you’ll have one posing for Playgirl before you know it. It’s just not natural to be that comfortable in front of a camera. Ten minutes of video when you first arrive and then the camera goes back into the camera bag.

3. Trudy. If your brother and sister want to come, they can be on time like everyone else. If they are late again this year, they can eat what the dogs don’t finish.

4. Rhonda. It’s my oven and once again I’ll be using it right up until mealtime. If you can’t bring something that doesn’t require heating, then don’t bring anything at all.

5. Mary. Your kid’s dirty shoes and my clean sofa have never met. Let’s keep it that way.

6. If you are a meat-eater, try a vegetable for your health. If you are a vegetarian, try the stuffing for the bacon. Either way, you’ll be cured of what ails you.

7. If I see one grandchild doing that texting stuff, there will be no pie for dessert. If I see one parent checking email… scratch that – new rule. Leave your cell phone in your car. They used to be called mobile phones for a reason. Now-a-days the only thing mobile about your phone is your thumbs. Trust me. Skinny thumbs and a fat ass are not a good look.

8. Jonathan. How a Republican ended up in this family is beyond me, but we love you all the same. That said, Reagan is dead darling. Get over it.

9. I cooked the meal. Your grandfather paid for it. You can clean the kitchen and we’ll call it even.

10. Honestly, if you insist on bringing anything, bring some butter. I go through about 20 sticks to get this meal on the table and I might as well start stocking up for Christmas now.

11. Marshall. I am sure you believe that your children sing beautifully. Don’t put me in a situation where I have to make you question your beliefs.

12. Grandpa Harold says if the Longhorns win, the bar is open. If they lose, the party is BYOB.

A few words about Oprah Winfrey

Posted on

I had read about Oprah Winfrey deciding to stop her show come 2011. I really was not going to say much about that, after all the most of the right wing blogs were really trashing the woman and I did not want to be a part of that, at all. As an unrepentant capitalist, I have to agree with the words of Bill O’Rielly, when it comes to Oprah:

I mean this is a woman that came from nothing to rise up to be the most powerful woman, I think, in the world. I think Oprah Winfrey is the most powerful woman in the world, not just in America. That’s — anybody who goes on her program immediately benefits through the roof. I mean, she has a loyal following; she has credibility; she has talent; and she’s ‘s done it on her own to become fabulously wealthy and fabulously powerful — (Original Source Here)

Let me first state that I do not admire this woman’s politics, nor do I admire her idiotic “Self Religion” nonsense that she promotes on her show and in her books. However, there is something to be said about a woman, in fact, was born in abject poverty and then rose up out of her personal situation to become one of the most successful talk show personalities in the entire world. Like it or not, my fellow capitalist Conservative friends, but the woman is worth 2.3 Billion dollars.  In street terms, “That’s a whole bunch of flow!”

So, while some of my friends to the right of me in politics might want to rip on her. I have nothing bad to say about her, because frankly, she has done very well in our open capitalistic society. Oprah started with nothing, got a very lucky break, worked her behind off, and made something out of nothing; I, as a Conservative, who believes in a free market system cannot find a gripe with that at all. She, in fact, deserves the riches she has acclaimed, as she earned it.

On a more personal level, I can hardly believe that it has been 25 years since Oprah’s show first hit the airwaves. That makes me feel so hideously old. I remember the very funny promotional commercials for her show; that very playfully poked fun at her first name. I remember watching some of the first shows and thinking, “Who in the name of the Almighty would watch something like this?” Well, Lucky for Oprah, I guess not everyone thinks like me.

Therefore, in closing, I will say this — while I do not agree with her politics, which are decidedly left. I do wish her the best. I hope she continues to make a difference for good in the world. I just wish that Oprah would realize that the very politics that she supports wants to steal the very wealth that she has worked so very hard for and give to those who not only do not deserve it, but also never worked a day in their lives for it.

Living Proof that Liberals are classless assholes

Posted on

This is quite nasty one too.

First the Video:

The Story and transcript is via NewsBusters:

After introducing Lopez on her CNN Headline News program last night, Behar played a clip of Lopez’s HBO special in which he said, “There are a lot of politicians that would be Latinos and a lot now who are Latino. Sarah Palin, Latina. Believe me. She’s got all the signs. She works and her husband don’t.”

Later in the segment, after commenting about Palin’s lack of experience, Lopez stated, “I mean, the concept of Todd Palin being a stay-at-home dad-listen Joy, when I was a kid, those guys were called bums.”

“Uh-huh. They’re still called bums,” agreed Behar.

After introducing Lopez on her CNN Headline News program last night, Behar played a clip of Lopez’s HBO special in which he said, “There are a lot of politicians that would be Latinos and a lot now who are Latino. Sarah Palin, Latina. Believe me. She’s got all the signs. She works and her husband don’t.”

Later in the segment, after commenting about Palin’s lack of experience, Lopez stated, “I mean, the concept of Todd Palin being a stay-at-home dad-listen Joy, when I was a kid, those guys were called bums.”

“Uh-huh. They’re still called bums,” agreed Behar.

The reality about Todd Palin is this, which was noted by the Washington Post; when they did a smear on Palin:

…But Todd Palin, 44, the ruggedly handsome four-time winner of the 2,000-mile Iron Dog snowmobile race, was already an Alaska star before his wife’s election in 2006. Along with his family duties, he held two jobs, working occasional 85-hour weeks as an oil production operator for BP and, for a month each summer, as a commercial salmon fisherman in Bristol Bay.

So much for Todd Palin being a bum eh? 🙄

Oh and there’s more:

Lopez didn’t simply insult the Palins’ division of labor, but opened fire on her looks and other situations regarding her family after Behar asked him, “What other signs are there that Palin is Latino?”

“She has a child and a grandchild the same age, and the tell-tale sign is she needs to get her roots done,” Lopez replied.

Not content to leave the insults there, Behar asked Lopez if he lived in Palin’s “real America.” Lopez stated, in a nod to the infamous Tina Fey parody of Palin’s “Russia” answer, “Well, I can’t see Mexico from my porch, so I don’t think so.”

A turn in the conversation where Behar claimed to not know what Palin was talking about when she discusses the “liberal elite” led Lopez to comment on Palin’s role as governor and former vice-presidential candidate, and her “bum” husband:

“I’m not even sure if she knows what she’s talking about at this point. I mean, her whole life is really one of those things where because of the reality and the reality stars and the situations, you know, being a governor of Alaska would have been a great gig if that was it, but to take that thing and try to take it global or through the United States when you haven’t been a political figure and you haven’t traveled and you haven’t gone to Congress and you haven’t passed any major bills, it’s a difficult pill to have America swallow. I mean, the concept of Todd Palin being a stay at home dad — listen, joy, when I was a kid, those guys were called bums.”

Such class from those who won the election and now have their President. Sarah Palin is not even running for office, but yet, they feel the need to attack here. Such class, such noble political correctness; I am not a big fan of Sarah Palin; as I have written before —  but this just shows me, that the Liberal Elite fear her still to this day. America will remember this come 2012 —feminists especially. This is classic liberal overreach; it will come back to haunt them come 2010 and 2012. They need to enjoy it while they can. Because when the public speaks again, it will not be pretty, I can assure you of that.

According to Rasmussen, John McCain’s Money is not going to buy 2010 election

Posted on

Like it has bought the rest of them….

Senator John McCain’s future in the U.S. Senate may be a little less assured than previously thought.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely 2010 Republican Primary voters in Arizona finds the longtime incumbent in a virtual tie with potential challenger J.D. Hayworth. McCain earns 45% of the vote, while Hayworth picks up 43%.

Former Minuteman leader Chris Simcox gets four percent (4%) support, while two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate and seven percent (7%) are undecided.

Hayworth, a conservative former U.S. congressman who now is a popular radio talk show host in Phoenix, is reportedly interested in the race but has not formally declared for it. He captures 59% of the male GOP vote, while McCain wins 58% of female voters.

Younger GOP voters like Hayworth more than their elders. McCain has a solid lead among the relatively small number of moderate and liberal Republicans in the state while Hayworth picks up a plurality (48%) of conservatives.

I hate to be the one to say it; But, I am glad as hell that John McCain is going to get his tail kicked in the primary. The Late Senator Barry Goldwater hated this man’s guts till the day he died. Goldwater saw McCain as a made man; who got in on his family’s name. Here is hoping that Hayworth runs and defeats this RINO once and for all!

Breitbart to AG Holder: Do your job douche nozzle or we will burn the Democrats come 2010!

Posted on

Oh Man, there’s gonna be many a Democrat singing the blues, if Eric Holder does not do his job before 2010.

The Video:

Breitbart: There’s a lot of hypocrisy and the dust has settled for ACORN and at the end of the day they’ve recognized that Eric Holder, the Attorney General, has not initiated an investigation into ACORN after we now have seven tapes. There were five initially that came out, ACORN was defunded by the Senate, was defunded by the House, lost it’s link to the Census; while all that damage occurred, Congress didn’t come in to investigate them, obviously not the Attorney General’s office, and they’ve now realized let’s get back into business because they realized that the dust settled and they were not being investigated, it was Hannah, James, and me who were being investigated, that’s why we’ve been forced to offer this latest tape.

Hannity: Are you saying, Andrew, that there are more tapes?

Breitbart: Oh my goodness there are! Not only are there more tapes, it’s not just ACORN. And this message is to Attorney General Holder: I want you to know that we have more tapes, it’s not just ACORN, and we’re going to hold out until the next election cycle, or else if you want to do a clean investigation, we will give you the rest of what we have, we will comply with you, we will give you the documentation we have from countless ACORN whistleblowers who want to come forward but are fearful of this organization and the retribution that they fear that this is a dangerous organization. So if you get into an investigation, we will give you the tapes; if you don’t give us the tapes, we will revisit these tapes come election time.

Hannity: This is a blockbuster, what you’re saying here. You guys have more tapes, you’ll release them before the election, that could have a big impact on the election, obviously…

via Big Government  – Breitbart to AG Holder: Investigate ACORN or We’ll Release More Tapes Just Before 2010 Election.

Needless to say; this election cycle coming in 2010 is going to be an extremely interesting one.  😯 If I were holder, I would be contacting Andrew and pronto. Because if there is something huge that Andrew is sitting on, like a corruption tape, involving say, The President. The fall out would be huge; As in Richard Nixon kind of huge.

Global-Warming E-Mail Hack-Gate

Posted on2 Comments

This one is quite the big story; although there are some doubters.

Check out the round up; that itself is a doozy!

Michelle Malkin wisely adds:

First things first: The alleged hackers need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I couldn’t agree more. Nobody and I mean, nobody; deserves to have their private e-mails printed anywhere, at all. Even if they are peddling with the greatest hoaxes known to mankind.

I personally would like to know who exactly was behind this hacking; if it were a Conservative blogger or someone connected to one. I would like to see him exposed and shamed in the Blogosphere. Because we Conservatives; especially those who are Republicans, do NOT believe in lawlessness; and that is exactly what this was, Anarchy and it is wrong.

Major Nidal Hasan to radical cleric: “I can’t wait to join you” in the afterlife

Posted on

Unbelievable.

United States Army Major Nidal Hasan told a radical cleric considered by authorities to be an al-Qaeda recruiter, “I can’t wait to join you” in the afterlife, according to an American official with top secret access to 18 e-mails exchanged between Hasan and the cleric, Anwar al Awlaki, over a six month period between Dec. 2008 and June 2009.

“It sounds like code words,” said Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, a military analyst at the Center for Advanced Defense Studies. “That he’s actually either offering himself up or that he’s already crossed that line in his own mind.”

Other messages include questions, the official with access to the e-mails said, that include when is jihad appropriate, and whether it is permissible if there are innocents killed in a suicide attack.

“Hasan told Awlaki he couldn’t wait to join him in the discussions they would having over non-alcoholic wine in the afterlife,” the official said.

But yet, our feckless idiotic President will not call this what it is; the worst act of terrorism since 9/11. Could it be because our President secretly sympathizes with this crazy mans actions? Sometimes I wonder.

Why Rep. Virginia Foxx has to go, come 2010

Posted on2 Comments

This comes via Think Progress:

Video:

CARDOZA: Today, what I’m hearing on the floor really takes the cake. The gentlelady from North Carolina, in her statement just now, indicated that the Republican GOP had passed the Civil Rights Act legislation with almost no help from the Democrats. I can’t believe my ears. It was the Kennedy and Johnson administration where we passed that Great Society legislation. It was over the objections of people like Jesse Helms from the gentlewoman’s state that we passed that civil rights legislation. John Lewis…

FOXX: Would, would the gentleman yield?

CARDOZA: No, I will not yield. John Lewis, a member of this House, was beaten on the Edmund Pettus bridge to get that civil rights legislation passed. Tell John Lewis that he wasn’t part of getting that legislation passed.

When she was given a chance to respond, Foxx could only say that Jesse Helms wasn’t elected to the Senate until 1972.

I hate to admit it; but he is right, the Republican Party was against the civil rights act. That is because of the constitutionality of that act. That is why Berry Goldwater opposed it. That is why the Democrats who crossed over and became known as the “Neo-Conservatives” crossed over. Because of the 1960’s social upheaval in the country. Rep. Virgina Foxx was engaging in revisionist history and got caught; plain and simple. She needs to go; she is not doing the Republican any good at all.

The victimization of Sarah Palin by the MSM

Posted on1 Comment

Normally I would not use Gawker as a place to quote from on Politics; but this right here is dead on.

On Hardball last night, when asked about Sarah Palin’s potential strengths as a presidential candidate, 538.com’s Nate Silver genuinely cited her perpetual victim status and frequent faux-outrage as a factor that makes her difficult to run against.

via Upstate Conservative Decides He Won the Election Really – Gop – Gawker.

This sums up my anger towards those on the true conservative side that are swooning over her. Now it seems that because Barack Obama’s polices are failing, the Main Stream media feels the need to give Sarah Palin a second look and will most likely portray her as a poor victim of the mean old “Man Club” in politics; Hence her appearance on Oprah this week. Sarah Palin may be a great deal of things; but she is no victim. Sarah Palin made the choice to take the Vice President pick that John McCain offered her; she could have said no, but she chose to take the job; and because of the poorly ran campaign and possibly because of her, John McCain lost the run for the President. There was no victimization at all. Yes, she was held up to the microscope by the liberal Main Stream Media, it happens in politics, either you deal with it or you get out. This whole assertion by the far conservative right that Sarah Palin was treated unfairly was and still is a load of dung.

Further, the assertion that Sarah Palin’s children were singled out and President Obama’s were not is a load of bunk too. First, President Barack Obama did not ride in on the white horse of Social Conservatism all the while trying to hide the fact that his daughter was pregnant; Sarah Palin did. That in itself is abject hypocrisy. In addition, President Barack Obama’s children are Pre-teens; Sarah Palin’s daughter was 17 years old. She was old enough to have sex; there is a huge difference there and anyone that does not see that, is most likely too stupid to be involved in politics. This is serious politics and not 8’th grade school yard nonsense; so the “girl power” crowd needs to seriously get real. Besides,  the only difference between the “Girl Power” crowd and the “White Power” crowd; is the gender and political parties involved.

World’s Most Crazy Hack Political Blogger calls Sarah Palin Insane

Posted on

Wow…. 😯

But anyway, I’m tired of all this meta-journalism. Does examining her make me look obsessed? Does not examining her make me look cool? Who gives a fuck? She’s a great story, a truly bizarre creature, an international woman of mystery, and completely off her rocker.

I’m Back

Posted on3 Comments

Yes, I am back. You did not think I would stay gone for long did you? I just needed to take break from things for a bit. There are a few things, which I really need to make clear and get out into the open.

  1. Women are off limits now:  There will be no more stupid jokes about women or offensive stuff towards woman on this blog anymore. I will keep up what I did post on the blog. Because removing stuff is quite cowardly, except in some extreme cases. However, as of right now, I will not be doing that anymore. I guess I will have to remember that not everyone appreciates my politically incorrect snarky writings and dark humor. For the record, I am not a misogynistic piece of dung, as I so called by so-called “Conservative Lesbian” who obviously lacks a sense of humor. If I truly were, I would not be living were I am now. As my Mom would have none of that. For what it is worth; my Mom voted for Obama and has voted Democrat except when she voted for Reagan. I am very much against political correctness and the very idiotic feminist movement in this country — Because it is an out branch of the liberal mindset. However, I believe I have may have distanced some friends of mine in my quest to stick my finger in the eye of those feminists. I apologize to those that I may have offended; however, I will never apologize for my feelings about the feminist movement and the idiotic political ideology that it comes from.
  2. This blog, nor its author carry water for ANY political party, person, or opinion: Before I get some liberal come by here and say, “What about this here that you wrote?” I wrote what I wrote about Mike Bouchard, because I and many other Michigan residents; both Republican and Democrat know that the Democrats way of handling this recession has been a disaster for this State. I have known this, since the first state recession hit back in 2000; when I was laid off from my job back then, I knew something was horribly wrong and I knew then that the Democrats were causing it. The whole idea that Bush caused the Michigan recession is lie that was perpetuated by the Democrats, because of their inability to take responsibility for their own actions; like NAFTA. Because of this, our State here is in an economic free fall. When it comes to state politics, I do like to vote the principles over the party of the said candidate and right now Mike Bouchard is, as far as I am concerned, the man that Michigan needs for a full-scale economic recovery. Having said all of that, I wish to submit that I do not carry water for either of these political parties. I will explain this in my next point.
  3. Sarah Palin and Me: The reason I got a bit miffed earlier, is that I felt that the Conservative media and blogosphere were in full on stupid mode about Palin. Because of this, I ended tearing into a good friend of mine; and I feel horrible about that. Robert Stacy McCain is just as much entitled to his opinion of Sarah Palin; as I am or Ron Dreher is. I should not have went after McCain like that, I apologize to him publically and to you my readers. I should not have taken the slam of Dreher personally, as I sure that he did not at all. I will be upfront about it; I just do not believe that Sarah Palin is qualified to be President of the United States, at all. Nor will she ever be, in my opinion. I will not support her, if she runs. I will not carry water for her, at all —-There are plenty of blogs and websites that will do that; this will not be one of them. Fiscally, I am quite the Conservative; being in a bankruptcy will do that to a person, so will getting older too, and I feel that Palin’s mushy populism is just that, mushy populism and is not nearly as Conservative, as I would want someone to be, who was going to be in the White House. Another reason I do not much care for her, is that I am more of a libertarian, when it comes to social issues. Just because I do not agree with a particular social item, does not mean I think it is my right to persecute those that do. That my friend is what “Social Conservatism” does. My Conservatism on social matters is more of the “Ron Paul” stripe, honestly, the only thing that scares me worse that the far socialist left is the far religious right. The late Senator Barry Goldwater did not like them, and I am not a big fan either; I cannot support a style of Government that the far religious right wants that is on par with Nazi Fascism, and that is what, I feel, Sarah Palin embodies. For this reason, I would not be compelled to support Sarah Palin if she should decide to run for President. While I am a Born Again Christian; I do not believe that one should mix their personal religious beliefs with their politics, that is a dangerous thing to do and it has caused this Nation an enormous amount of grief in the past 20 years. Like it or not, or mixing of our religious views and our politics is what caused the 9/11 attacks.

In closing, I hope this little editorial has help some of you understand me better and where it is, that I am coming from. By the way, I am glad to see that I am not the only one who is taking the heat. It looks like AllahPundit is making new friends too. But at least, he is not knocking the tent down, like this here:

Ouch.
