Acorn = Corrupt Obama

Wasn't dear leader associated with Acorn? Does this fall under the dem's term "culture of corruption" and where is the MSM (media) with their "guild by association" stories...oh that's right both only reserve that for those evil republicans or anyone who's opinion differs from theirs.

Is/Was Privacy a Real Concern

REMEMBER, when democrats across the country, those in office and "common" citizens, were so out raged at the report the Government was "listening to our phone calls" - "Warrant-less Wiretaps"? Though exaggerated and proven both not to include domestic calls and be legal (by the court during the current administration), they screamed "big brother" and "privacy issues".

Well let's fast forward to ObamaCare - So am I to understand that though we don't want anyone hearing our conversations with Mom and Dad or the wife, that would be an infringement on our rights, but the government knowing everything about our medical history should be common practice? In fact, good that they want to care so much - RIDICULOUS!

ATTENTION "leftwing nuts" - I guess this new request, to turn in your friends and family for speaking out against the state is a good thing too...
White House Draws Fire for Requesting 'Fishy’ Information From Supporters on Health Reform
The White House is under fire for a blog post asking supporters to send "fishy" information received through rumors, chain e-mails and casual conversations to a White House e-mail address, flag@whitehouse.gov.

Oh my, I haven't even hit the "post button" yet and I believe I hear the "thought police" pulling in my driveway!

This is Just Stupid

Well the city was stupid - Simple as that. But Ms Abileah really should listen to herself, or maybe she is a Berkley grad, which would explain a bunch! Let's look at the excerpt below.

Berkeley under fire for stance on Marines - Los Angeles Times
"We're not looking for a fight, and we expect the police to be there to help keep the peace," Rae Abileah, a national organizer for Code Pink, said about the group's vigil. "The right-wing groups are trying to make this into an issue of whether you are for or against the Marines. It's not about that. It's about the war in Iraq and the deceitful tactics by military recruiters."
Let's see, she want us to believe it is not about being "for or against the Marines" - Those deceitful people! Well I am convinced (NOT!) how 'bout you?

More Lies - By The Way is Bush Running Again?

Look, I have my problems with some of President Bush's decision's, mainly the lack of conservative domestic policy - Not to Mention attempting to include liberals in on the "domestic policies" like it will accomplish anything! However, if the President or Vice President are "dumb and evil" as Mr Rutten would want you to believe - Why would there be a need to lie about what either said?

Well I guess the MSM still believe they are running against Bush in this years election.
Tim Rutten lied - Period!
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Vice President Dick Cheney was addressing the meat-eaters at the Conservative Political Action Conference. He told them that he was glad the administration had tortured people and that he'd do it again: "Would I support those same decisions again today? You're damn right I would."

Let's look at what VP Cheeny actually said by looking at the transcript:
The United States is a country that takes human rights seriously. We do not torture -- it's against our laws and against our values.
[...]
From the very morning our nation was attacked on 9/11, the President of the United States has had to make some immensely enormous decisions. Every day he faces responsibilities that others would pale before. I've been there with him. I've seen him make the tough calls, and then weather the criticism and take the hits. President Bush has been tough and courageous. He's made the right decisions for the right reasons, and he always reflects the best values of the American people. I've been proud to stand by him and by the decisions he's made. And I would support those same -- and would I support those same decisions again today? You're damn right I would.
Not quite what Mr. Rutten reported is it? Go figure!

"Hello Pot I The Kettle"

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Wednesday denounced Vice President Dick Cheney as a "disaster"
Story
A "disaster" accusing another of being...he is delusional. Agree or disagree with Cheney you have to admit it is comical to here Jimmy Carter making this accusation - Heck it probably elevates Cheney to many!

Was it or Wasn't it?

Was it a success or wasn't it? That is the question, and much like the subject "Global Warming" no one seems to agree.

We have this head line - "Two Billion", sounds like a success doesn't it?

Two billion watch Live Earth concerts

Then there is the "Live Earth fails...", sounds like it wasn't as success doesn't it?

Live Earth fails to pack large-scale punch

But then we get to the main reason for the even and for Gore's participation...

Al Gore slams global warming doubters at Live Earth
"Some who don't understand what is now at stake tried to stop this event on the Mall," the former Democratic presidential candidate said in a thinly veiled hit on members of President George W. Bush's Republican party.

"But here we are," he said as an image of a bright Earth shined behind him. "And it wasn't the cavalry who came to our rescue, it was the American Indian."

A few hundred spectators turned out for the concert, which began at 10:30 am


It was a political statement, that is it, I am unimpressed with Gore's quest for a legacy and/or a possible why back to the political arena. By the way let's not overlook the fact that the Washington sight managed to gather a "few" hundred - whoopee!

As for me - I am a what is affectionately called a Global Warming "denier"; however, I choose to spend my time watching the "carbon rich" Pepsi 400 which I am sure was much more exciting - Resulting in a "photo finish"!

Actual Spying on Americans OK!

I guess actually spying on Americans, unlike the "domestic spying" accusation, is OK. Well maybe it just because it is in association with a Clinton - So it's OK!

Clinton Pollster Sued Over E-Mails
Hillary Rodham Clinton's chief strategist is being accused of illegal eavesdropping in a civil lawsuit that alleges he and his polling firm monitored the personal e-mails of a former associate who started a rival company.

Good To Come Back With!

Well I took a break, surprise. Honestly I got sick of the junk, never ending junk -- liberals complain I, a conservative, and others like me don't listen or refuse to listen to facts, yea right!

Have you ever noticed that when someone complains about a flaw in another's character, that flaw is magnified ten fold in themselves? Seriously think about it, when I have pointed this out to some they take a minute and say "You know your right", I know I am -- I learned it years ago from a mentor... Because I know this, when I become irritated I look at myself before speaking! Ever wonder where the saying "Physician heal thyself" came from?

Well I am back and will try to post regularly, but let me first say the claim that I and others like me refuse to listen....is bunk! Bunk stated by arrogant, elitist, who want the ability to determine what I say, think, and where I spend my money. Well, dream on sparky! My thoughts, desires for my family, and my belief choices will never be controlled by another human -- OK the wife might control some of my thoughts:-)...

What better time to return to posting then with a link of Brit Hume spelling out the idiocy of Martha -- a true Democrat hero! Watch it here! Some excerpts!

...this guy is long past the day when he had anything but the foggiest awareness of what the heck is going on in the world.

The Spitting has Begun

First, I apologize for my absent in recent weeks--and here is some old news. The left has finally got their Vietnam comparison accurate, they now have began spitting in military members face--they must be proud!

Anti-War Protesters' Anger Is Misplaced
"A Syracuse woman is accused of spitting in a Fort Drum soldier's face at Hancock Airport. Lauren Maggi, 35, was charged with second-degree harassment after the Nov. 22 incident, according to a police report."

...and the MSM doesn't really care!

Charles Rangle on What the Left Really Thinks

Charlie just proves what the left really think about the military--no soldier is there for patriotism and if they could find a decent job they wouldn't be there. Per congressman Rangle:
I want to make it abundantly clear: if there’s anyone who believes that these youngsters want to fight, as the Pentagon and some generals have said, you can just forget about it. No young, bright individual wants to fight just because of a bonus and just because of educational benefits. And most all of them come from communities of very, very high unemployment. If a young fella has an option of having a decent career or joining the army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would not be in Iraq.

Well idiot, I am sorry if what I said offends you (not really)--I was in the military, I am from a middle class family, I had the opportunity to go to college, and I joined the Army staying in the Army... Here is the kicker 'buckwheat' I was earned a decent job less then two weeks after leaving--meaning I never leached off the government. By the way, why would anyone want to live in New York where they keep re-electing idiots (again sorry if what I said offended you).

Iraq Compared to WWII -- ??

We have more comparisons between WWII and Iraq --I know I am just an old soldier and not as smart as a journalist but comparing the two seems like comparing a Lamborghini to a Yugo--their both cars! Compare the overwhelming support to current protest, compare the overwhelming casualties inflected on the enemy, compare the US casualties suffered, compare the devastating destruction of property to surgical strikes, and imagine if we used something as little as "tactical nuclear devices" what kind of protest would be encountered--compare that protest if we went "nuclear" to the joy of WWII ending after using a "nuclear device"... Yep lots of similarities, NOT... Now let's compare how long we "occupied", the left's word, these countries we defeated in WWII--four years ain't even a drop in the bucket... How 'bout we compare monies spent to rebuild these countries we defeated in WWII--again the bucket is dry... On second thought, maybe I am smarter then a journalist--this one anyway! Some excerpts:

The U.S. mission in Iraq has now lasted longer than America's involvement in World War II. That should be an occasion for sober reflection. In less than four years -- from 1941 to 1945 -- the United States and its allies managed to defeat two of the most powerful militaries in the world. By contrast, today, we are still mired in an endless conflict in a single small country after the same amount of time.

Mad Mom is Back

"Mad mom" (Cindy Sheehan) and Code Pink are back to making fools of themselves. Protesting something they know nothing about (hint: the Korean governement asked for these base consolidation)... By the way, you misspelled base, dumb-dumb-dumb--but that is not a surprise!

US activists protest larger SKorea bases
Shouting slogans such as "Stop US military base expansion!" and "Stop repression in Pyeongtaek!" the protesters held up their US passports and asked police to get out of their way.
[...]
Medea Benjamin, founder of Code Pink, a US women's peace organization, said: "There is no way that I feel my family will be more secure or that Korean families will feel more secure by expanding the Camp Humphreys base (in Pyeongtaek) and taking land from people who have farmed there for generations."

Interesting Observation

Catholic League president Bill Donohue had an interesting comparison between Gibson's and Richard's racial tirades and Penn's (of Penn and Teller) tarads against Catholics--I will take it one step further Penn Jillette on several occasions has insulted all religion, well all religion that involves the God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob, and Moses...

“In other words, racism and anti-Semitism are unacceptable, even when expressed in frustration or when inebriated, but anti-Catholicism is okay, even when expressed repeatedly and done intentionally. The problem here is not with Richards, Gibson or Jillette—the problem is with all the phonies who claim to be horrified by bigotry.”

Demcrats at it Again---DRAFT, DRAFT....

Wasn't this a bad think in '04? That is right they just implied Republicans were advocates for the draft when in reality it was Democrats--when that little detail was pointed out the "bad thing" just petered out...

Rangel Will Push To Bring Back The Draft

A senior House Democrat said Sunday he will introduce legislation to reinstate the military draft
