Sign of the times...

This evidently has been around for a while, but I just found it on Youtube. It is an interesting exchange between an anti-Obama protester and a police office outside of a town hall meeting. In my opinion, it really illustrates just where we are heading....

Upside Down?

I had a thought today after reading information on the various health plans that may soon be forced on us by our all-knowing government... If the liberals get their way, we could soon go to jail for something as minor as not purchasing the "correct" health insurance, but "doctors" who kill the unborn, and people having this "service" done, could wind up being rewarded by having all of us pay for it...Does anyone else find this strange??

More media hypocrisy...

I found this at businessandmedia.org

This interesting video illustrates perfectly the difference in media coverage depending on which party is in the White House. Listen carefully to the language used as the same person (Charles Gibson of ABC) reports on the economy early in President Reagan's first term, and then on the unemployment situation we have now under Obama.



I wonder when the full effect of Obama's 'print, spend and tax' policies become apparent, how media coverage will compare to the coverage President Reagan received after his tax cuts took effect and our longest peacetime expansion began...

And they said we were crazy...

A few weeks ago, when news broke that Obama was going to give a speech to school children during school hours, many parents were rightly concerned that this amounted to little more than an attempt to indoctrinate our kids. I seem to remember many on the left attacking this view and laughing at our concerns. For those people, I ask them to explain THIS video, which took place at a elementary school in New Jersey, and seems to show the exact thing happening with kids that many of us are afraid could soon be happening everywhere...



The audio can be a little hard to understand, so here is the lyrics of what the kids are being taught to say, as reported by Fox News.

Song 1:
Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama

Song 2:
Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!"

Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!

Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
To make this country's economy number one again!

Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you!
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!

So continue ---- Mr. President we know you'll do the trick
So here's a hearty hip-hooray ----

Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!

What HOPE really is!

The possibility of this alone is almost enough to make me start chanting "Yes We Can!" if it would help bring it to pass...

Mainstream media Biased? Of course not!

I am sure many have seen this this video already, but if not, it really should be watched. It is the most blatant example I have seen in a long time of the lengths the mainstream media (and especially NBC) will go to put their own unique 'spin' on the news...

Finally a Republican with guts!

Joe Wilson, congressman from South Carolina immediately became my latest hero the other night after speaking the truth and yelling 'You Lie' during Obama's address to a joint session of congress. In my opinion, his ONLY mistake was to ever have apologized for this...

While watching the democrats demand apology after apology from representative Wilson has certainly been expected, and humorous, the fact that some members, notably Senator John McCain, who is purportedly from our side, have joined these calls is simply infuriating. McCain was even praised for this action by this liberal blog.

Perhaps it is time that WE demand an apology from John McCain for working to destroy the Republican party and the Conservative values it once stood for. McCain and other 'republicans' of his ilk are LARGELY to blame for the situation we have now, with a socialist in the white house, and our freedoms at stake.

The Republican party needs more true leaders like Joe Wilson, who are not afraid to speak the truth, and can be counted on to defend the constitution, instead of people like Senator McCain, who can only be counted on to stab fellow Republicans in the back and give the democrats everything they ask for.

If you feel as I do, I would recommend considering making a contribution to Representative Wilson's re-election campaign. He definitely could use all the help he can get now that he has made himself such a target of the left...

Green Innovation?

I was reading this article, which describes how scientists have designed a plant filtration system that will allow us to recycle water by actually drinking our own shower water. Sounds wonderful...

It seems to me this invention has a fatal flaw, however....Don't they realize that the kind of people that would be most likely to actually install and use something like this are the very same people who rarely shower?

Then again, it may be just a matter of time before the Obama administration mandates this for all new homes....

True Patriotism

My father in law, John Tanner, passed away on July 27th. A difficult time to be sure, especially for my wife and her family.

I knew he had served in Vietnam, and had witnessed first hand the shameful treatment many soldiers received upon their return. I knew him to be passionate about our country, and the state of things today. What I did not know is this man privately wrote poetry, and that a poem he wrote long ago that was read aloud at his funeral would expose me to a level of patriotism rarely seen or expressed today.

Here is the poem:

Dearly beloved, Red White and Blue
We went to fight, some died for you
With Love and Respect
We always stayed true
And never one time
Turned our back on you
We've watched you with pride
Through tears in our eyes
While some people cursed you
We stood by your side
Those who disgraced you
and spat in your face
Were welcomed back home
With a warm embrace
But those who loved you
Enough to die
Received no welcome
Please tell me why
We've searched for answers
We've really tried
We keep our feelings all inside
Were we wrong to use our guns?
Are we your bastards or your sons?
Please don't take my questions wrong
Cause I will love you
My whole life long
This is my country
Where I was given birth
Your still the greatest flag on earth

How many today could witness the horrors that this man surely did in war, receive the shameful treatment he did from his fellow citizens upon his return, and still feel the need to express such strong, heartfelt feelings for their country? I daresay, not very many...

Sadly, this level of love for ones country cannot be taught, I am convinced it must be inspired. Unfortunately many of our leaders who should be 'role models' and inspiration for our children in this area almost seem to hold our country and its values in contempt...

This is why men such as John Tanner should be held up as role models, especially while some are still here, and their sacrifices finally acknowledged.

Better late than never...

Tide starting to turn?

I have not had much time the past few weeks to devote to this blog, but I have been watching with interest as the polls slowly reflect what I hope is the American people finally waking up to the Obama reality.

The question remains, how could so many have fell for this man in the first place? This is a troubling question, to be sure. I myself, up until the very last minute, was convinced that the American people could not possibly elect such an obvious socialist.

While many may simply have not recognized his socialist tendencies, or simply chose to ignore the warning signs, putting more stock instead into his flowery rhetoric, perhaps the election results can at least be partly explained by what I see as an American tendency to always see the best in people, and our inherent optimism about our future, no matter who is in the White House. After all, we have never had a President so intent on completely changing every aspect of our way of life, and before Obama, it was hard to imagine we ever would....

Now, not even 8 months in, we have witnessed the nationalization of two American car companies, along with many banks. We have a ridiculous 'cap and trade' bill that if enacted, could more than double our utility bills. Finally, with the full bore attempt to destroy our health care system, it appears many Americans are finally saying 'enough!'

Obama has been so used to having things his way, it will be interesting (and somewhat scary, as his 'snitch on your neighbors' website has already proved), to see how he reacts....

Palin reasserts Alaskian sovereignty

Further proving her conservative credentials, Alaskan governor Sarah Palin has signed a joint resolution of the Alaskan state legislature that declares Alaska's sovereignty under the 10th amendment, becoming only the second governor to sign similar legislation.

If only more would show this kind of courage...

Interesting items from the net

Saw a very good article at townhall.com today: 'Five criticisms of George W. Bush that could better be applied to Obama.'

Also, saw this very well done ad at Youtube, which compares the Obama administration to Iran...

The Sarah Palin surprise

Like many, I am sure, I was shocked at Governor Sarah Palin's resignation announcement today. I was listening on the radio as the news broke, and then, as is expected with any news regarding Sarah Palin, was treated ad nauseum to one liberal pundit after another deriding the speech as 'incoherent' or 'rambling.' Of course, most were quite eager to proclaim that Sarah Palin had just committed 'political suicide.'

It didn't take long for me to realize that this is just the latest example of Sarah Palin doing what is right, and increasing my excitement at the thought of her potentially rising to national leadership.

As I have stated before, I strongly believe Sarah Palin is the best hope of all the likely Republican candidates to return the party to its Conservative roots, and to give the country the kind of presidency we had under Ronald Reagan. I believe many people in the country today, some democrats included, are looking for a 'real person' to run for president. I believe Sarah Palin would 'fill the bill' on this desire better than any other candidate SINCE Ronald Reagan. I know that people recognize this in her, as evidenced by the huge crowds she generates wherever she goes, despite the near constant media attacks on her.

If one listens to other likely candidates from our side, Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee for example, while both could be excellent candidates, it doesn't take long for the average person to recognize by their mannerisms that they are 'typical' politicians. This is something that you do NOT notice with Sarah Palin. While certainly a politician, and I feel a very shrewd one, she does NOT come off as one, instead coming across much more like someone you could actually know and relate to, a trait I feel she shares with Ronald Reagan, and one that I feel will help her go very far if she chooses to.

But, in my opinion, probably the single most important thing in Sarah Palin's favor, is that as far as I know, there is no political decision she has made that could cause her to be accused of hypocrisy. I feel this fact alone is a big part of why the left fears her so much. Very few politicians actually have their publicly expressed views tested in ways that Sarah Palin has, most obviously with her public pro-life position, which of course matces up perfectly with her personal decision to keep a downs syndrome baby, and to support her daughter with an unplanned pregnancy and HER decision to keep the baby.

This is why I take her at her word in her announcement today, that a big factor in her decision was the near constant ethics attacks on her in Alaska. These attacks, which have led nowhere, are obviously nothing more than political witch hunts by liberals fishing for anything that could be used against her. Nonetheless, as she stated in her speech, these attacks are causing the state to spend tons of money investigating them, money that could be put to much better use. So now we see that Sarah Palin has been given another opportunity to take a personal stand on something that matches up perfectly with her public position, in this case wasteful government spending, and has again risen to the challenge and took action to put a stop to a problem, even if it means personal sacrifice.

I hope for the Republican parties sake, and most importantly the country's sake that Sarah Palin IS considering a run for president. It would be very refreshing to have a candidate that not only takes a strong stand on issues, but is willing to back them up by personal actions....

What a disappointment....

Watching all this Mark Sanford stuff breaking right now makes my blood boil. I half expect this kind of activity from the 'if it feels good, do it' democrats, but having it come from someone who pretended to be such a principled conservative is sickening.

If Mr. Sanford has one shred of decency left in him, he will immediately resign his post as governor, and disappear AGAIN. I hope the Republicans do not spend time trying to defend his behavior, as all that will accomplish is to make them look extremely hypocritical. Instead, they should do what democrats do NOT do in these situations, and immediately and loudly condemn his actions and demand his resignation....

Fairness?

By now, its a well-known fact that many liberals would love to see a return to the 'fairness doctrine', or something similar that would effectively silence Conservative talk radio.

I would love to ask some of the supporters of the fairness doctrine if their concern for 'fairness' extends to ABC's love-fest for the Obama health plan that will air tomorrow night, where Conservative opposition groups have not even been allowed to PURCHASE airtime to refute the ridiculous claims that will surely be made.

It seems to me that a company that PURPORTS to be a NEWS network, but effectively censors opposing views during a NEWS special is a LOT less 'fair' than a Conservative talk show, of which I have never heard one claim to be anything other than an OPINION show, but yet allow opposing views to be heard quite often in the form of guests and callers.

More blatant hypocrisy from the left, I suppose...

Un-American to buy American?

I found this article over at 'American Thinker' very interesting, which makes the case for boycotting GM and Chrysler, since they have now been effectively 'socialized' by the Obama administration.

I became aware of this article today after listening to Rush Limbaugh, who was denying a media report that he was behind a call for just such a boycott. In fact, he went out of his way to say that a boycott was something he would NOT support.

This is one of the VERY few times I have found myself in disagreement with Rush. I wish Rush, or a conservative leader of his caliber WOULD promote just such a boycott... Having purchased a new vehicle myself this past weekend, I had already came to the decision on my own that, despite the fact that there ARE some excellent deals to be had right now, there is NO way I will be purchasing a GM or Chrysler vehicle anytime in the foreseeable future....

As long as the government continues to have any stake in these companies, or the UAW for that matter, with their new found ownership stake, so obviously stolen and 'gifted' to them by Obama as a thanks for their support, I can not, in good conscience, and as a strong believer in free market capitalism, purchase one...

I sincerely hope that American consumers do not simply 'close their eyes' to the unbelievably UN-AMERICAN series of events that have transpired over the past few months. To ignore the fact that two iconic American companies have been nationalized as if we were living in the old Soviet Union or Venezuela, and simply return to 'business as usual' with them will only make things WORSE in the long run, I am afraid...

Official 'boycott' or not, I fear that if we do not 'vote with our pocketbook', and express our disgust with all this by purchasing from other companies (while we still can), we will only embolden the Obama administration, and the next round of nationalizations could make what is happening now pale in comparison....

Tell us something we don't know...

According to this article, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez recently joked that after the nationalization of GM, he and Fidel Castro of Cuba might end up more 'to the right' of President Obama, or as Chavez called him, 'comrade Obama'.

What a surprise.....

Simply Unbelievable

Everyone should really read this article, published on the Russian news site Pravda, which discuses the demise of American capitalism. Unfortunately, I feel it contains a lot of truth. What is almost impossible for me to comprehend, is articles like this appearing in the foreign press, and the RUSSIAN press to boot. Where is the American media with stories like this?

Surely, some of the Obama voters who even remotely pay attention, are starting to have second thoughts...Can there really be very many people who could still be happy with their vote after witnessing an American president in just FOUR MONTHS nationalize entire industries as if we were living in Venezuela, spend money at such a rate that our children and grandchildren will be indebted for years to come, with nothing to show for it except the loss of American liberty, and happily announce in a speech that we "ain't seen nothing yet"?

The thought that there could be large numbers of such people left after what we have witnessed the last four months almost scares me more than the thought of the next 3 1/2 years.....

The Goode Family

For the first time in a LONG time, I find myself looking forward to a cartoon series on TV. The first episode of 'The Goode Family' airs Wednesday, May 27th on ABC, and if the clips below are any indication, it shows great promise for humor in this era of rampant Al Gore environmentalism and Obama Kool-Aid drinkers.

The show was created by Mike Judge, who also created the show 'King of the Hill', as well as the movies 'Office Space' and 'Idocracy'. I never really got into 'King of the Hill', but I really liked 'Office Space', and while 'Idocracy' had a lot of crude humor, I still found it hilarious. Hopefully, this show will be similar.

If the clips below are a true indication of the direction of the series, it will be interesting to see what kind of reception it receives...

May you live in interesting times...

Found a must-read article here, which led me to discover this website of an organization called Oath-Keepers, that I had not heard of.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought such an organization would be needed in this country...

WE'RE the intolerant ones?

It amazes me how the left continues to get away with attempting to absolutely destroy any private citizen who dares to publicly express opinions they might disagree with. While this has always went on to some degree, it really seems to have gotten out of hand lately, starting with 'Joe the Plumber' , and now Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean.

Weeks after DARING to publicly express her opposition to gay marriage during the Miss USA pageant, then having the AUDACITY to appear in the commercial below for an organization that defends traditional marriage, the left cannot be satisfied that her boldness surely cost her the chance to win the Miss USA title. Instead, now they are doing everything in their power to publicly humilate her, and strip her of the 'Miss California USA' title as well.

Yes, it appears that Ms. Prejean may have made a bad decision in her past to appear in some racy photographs, but lets be honest...at least with the pictures that have been released so far, I have seen more 'revealing' pictures walking by a 'Victoria Secret' store in the mall...I am quite sure that had she instead chosen to EMBRACE gay marriage, or some other liberal position, she would have been celebrated as an 'empowered' woman, should these same pictures have emerged...Of course, does anyone believe these pictures would have ever seen the light of day had she chosen such a path?

Having made a mistake in one's past should not preclude that person from expressing their views. We are to a point in this country where it is crucial that Conservatives rally around people who have the courage to stand up for our views publicly, and then stand behind them and defend them when the attacks begin. If not, fewer and fewer people in the same situation will be willing to exhibit the courage shown by Ms. Prejean, and our views, already RARE to hear in such public forums, will be heard even less....

GOOD RIDDANCE!

I just read that Arlen Specter, liberal Republican senator from Pennsylvania, who just HAPPENS to be facing a tough primary fight from a REAL Republican that he narrowly defeated in the last primary, has announced he is switching to the democratic party.

While this is a bad thing due to the fact that the democrats now have a filibuster proof senate, overall I feel this is for the best. Senator Specter voted with democrats so many times, he could not be counted on in a filibuster anyway. I personally think it would have been better for the Republican party to have shown him the door a long time ago, instead of waiting for HIM to leave, along with other similar RINO rubbish, such as Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe.

Hopefully, this is just the beginning of the house cleaning that needs to be done that will lead to conservatives finally regaining control of the Republican party.

I found your 100 Million, Mr. President...

On the same day that Obama challenged his cabinet to 'cut $100 million in expenses' in the next 90 days, it was announced that the State of Illinois would receive an additional $100 million from the federal government for its unemployment insurance program.

Supposedly, Illinois will receive the extra money because it "allows more people to qualify for unemployment benefits than many other states do"

I am sure glad to see Obama cutting spending, and making the spending cuts last...

Obama's BFF

Given Obama's views, and friendships in his personal life, I know this should not surprise me at all, but still, actually seeing these photos of Obama with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela sickens me. I am curious to see the response these photos will get (if any) with Obama supporters. Of course, this assumes that the mainstream media in this country will not go out of its way to cover these photos up...

One only has to look at the body language in these photos to see this was more than a simple, polite acknowledgment of a foreign leader. Surely, 'mainstream' democrats can admit that America's interests abroad are not served by a president who is obviously willing to be so chummy with a hardcore socialist and American enemy.

St. Louis Tea Party

Well, the St. Louis tea party was excellent. The speakers were all very good and some of the signs were hilarious to read. The crowd size was estimated while we were there at between 6000-7000, with later estimates putting it as high as 10,000.

One thing for sure...It was very refreshing to be in a group this large of like-minded people!

Here are some pictures and random video clips I took at the event. The overhead photos are from the Gateway Pundit blog. To view the pictures in several different sizes, click them, then select the 'All Sizes' button.

On the way to St. Louis Tea Party!

I am getting ready to leave to attend the tea party at St. Louis this evening. Hopefully, I will have pictures and video from the event here by tomorrow.

Something different...

I must admit, getting up everyday and watching our country being slowly torn apart from the top down is becoming very depressing. I guess that is why this story about a man on his way to the hospital for a liver transplant being aided by state troopers and snow plow operators, kind of resonated with me...

I find it somehow refreshing in this 'cradle-to-the grave, government will take care of everything' country we find ourselves in to read about Americans doing what Americans have always done best, coming to each others aid in a time of need...

When is a bow not a bow?

Apparently, The White House is denying that the now famous bow by Obama to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia ever took place. According to their explanation, Obama was simply bending over to grasp the king's hand with two hands because he was taller than the king.

Kind of sound vaguely 'Clintonesque' to me, but you be the judge....Notice how Obama clearly does not offer his second hand until after the bow...

Food for thought from REDSTATE.COM

SURPRISE! Obama wants to play God

According to this article from A.P., the Obama administration thinks that global warming is so serious, that they are now looking into some radical methods to cool the Earth's air, including 'shooting' pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays.

If this does not sound like a recipe for some extreme unintended consequences, then I don't know what does...

Amusing

I just happened to be in St. Louis for the 'Earth Hour' lunacy, where they even turned off the lights to the St. Louis arch for an hour to 'help save the planet from global warming.'

So what happened in St. Louis to make this even more amusing than it already was? For starters, it was an extremely cold day the whole day, well below average. Then, just a matter of a few hours after 'Earth Hour', there was heavy snow falling...

Perhaps it worked better than expected?

Where we are heading?

I just read this article today about a 'right to life' case in Great Britain. In this case, the UK courts allowed a baby's life support to be withdrawn.

What makes this case different from other cases is that the parents of the child DID NOT WANT life support removed. The child's DOCTORS decided this was for the best, gave the order to remove life support AGAINST the parents wishes, and the UK courts UPHELD this decision. Here is a quote from the article:

"Doctors treating him had said the boy's life was intolerable and his disability was such that his life had little purpose."

Welcome to the world of socialized medicine. Regardless of someone's opinion of the morality of removing life support in such cases, are these the kinds of decisions we want left only to our doctors and government? I am afraid that before too long our opinions will not matter...

Sometimes it is just depressing....

Just when I thought that Republicans may be finally getting their act together, with at least some forming a strong conservative opposition to Obama, I find out that at least some Republicans evidently cannot read or understand the Constitution.

I guess this has been going on for a while, but I just found out about it tonight. Evidently, Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah has co-sponsored a bill in the Senate, which grew from a plan devised by a Republican, Thomas M. Davis III from Virginia, which would grant the District of Columbia a VOTING seat in the House of Representatives in 'exchange' for an additional representative from the state of Utah. I suppose Article 1, Section 2 is not clear enough for Senator Hatch.

If Republicans cannot be counted on to defend the Constitution over something so basic, what hope do we have against Obama and his ongoing socialist revolution?

The most disgusting thing I have ever read...

The animal rights group P.E.T.A. has always been 'out there', but this makes some of their past actions seem positively normal...

The president of P.E.T.A. has stated that the group wants to use sweat from a gym towel used by the actor George Clooney, to create 'George Clooney flavored Tofu' which will help "spare animals from being killed for the table."

Lets see...hamburger or George Clooney flavored tofu....Maybe when my stomach finally returns to normal, I can think of more to say on the subject...

What was he thinking?

Not that long ago, Obama wanted Republican Senator Judd Gregg from New Hampshire to be his Commerce Secretary. This nomination was initially accepted by Senator Gregg, but ultimately rejected when he abruptly withdrew his name from consideration.

Today, Senator Gregg attacked the Obama budget forecast as a 'lie' in a hearing at the Senate Budget Committee.

Thank God Senator Gregg appears to have returned to his senses, but I still have to wonder just what was going on in his mind to have ever even considered a post in the Obama administration, considering his conservative views. Hopefully, he won't have any more lapses of sanity anytime soon...

Sick from the Stimulus?

I found this posted by fellow blogger 'Wesley M.' on his blog 'In My Copious Free Time'. If this were real, someone would be making a fortune!

Moderate Awakening?

Interesting op-ed in the New York Times today. David Brooks, a self-proclaimed 'moderate' (I prefer the term 'spineless'), who spends quite a bit of time bashing conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin, has written a piece (read it here) that basically admits that him and other moderates like him were 'wrong' about Obama.

What I find funny is the genuine surprise he expresses at the size of the Obama budget, and the far left tilt to his agenda. How anyone can be surprised is beyond me.

Of course, he cannot pass up the opportunity to take a few shots at the right wing in this article, and amusingly declares that it will be up to moderates like him to stop the excesses of the Obama administration and put the country back on the right track.

Assuming this is true, it will be interesting to see moderates finally expressing opinions of their own, and taking firm stances on policy positions without first taking a public opinion poll....

I think we have just entered the twilight zone...

I honestly do not know what to say about this, as this left me almost speechless when I first heard about it....

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, former member of the KGB in the SOVIET UNION, during a speech he gave recently at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, WARNED the U.S. about the dangers of socialism. Here is an excerpt from the speach:

"In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state's role absolute. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.

Nor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state."

Read the complete speech here.

Read another post about this speech here.

I wonder what kind of reaction one would get if we could go back just 30 years and tell people then that in 2009 we would be at a point in the world where Russia was warning America about the dangers of socialism...

Ronald Reagan HAS to be spinning in his grave...

The U.S.S.A. - I guess its official now

With the signing of the 'stimulus' bill, Obama has managed to turn our nation into a socialist state in less than ONE month, far faster then even I would have imagined.

I am finally starting to see stories in the media that dare to mention the 'S' word, which most would not have dared to use before the election. Fox News, basically the ONLY source of 'mainstream' news where a conservative viewpoint might get a fair shake, has this examination of Obama's policies. Then of course there is Newsweek, which proudly proclaims 'We are all Socialists Now.'

With the blinding speed Obama (and three republican turncoats), have managed to attack and basically destroy American capitalism, I worry about what will be next, and what will be salvageable after this nightmare is over, assuming it ever is. One has to wonder if the "election" results in Venezuela this past week, which does away with term limits there, and gives Hugo Chavez the power to complete their socialist transformation, will give Obama any NEW ideas.

At least the salt marsh mouse will be safe....

Is this really surprising?

Many of us have long realized just how dangerous the radical environmental movement is, but now it appears some of them, at least in the UK, are starting to be more vocal with their extreme views.

According to a Mr. Jonathon Porritt, who chairs the UK government's Sustainable Development Commission, families should be limited to no more than two children. (Communist China anyone?) He also says that curbing population growth through contraception and ABORTION must be at the heart of policies to fight global warming.

Will people continue to believe the myth of 'global warming', or will statements like this finally help people to realize that this whole thing is simply a fraud perpetrated by the 'green movement' in order to make it easier for them to spread their radical ideas on EVERYTHING?

I wonder how long it will take for people who DO subscribe to this nonsense to realize that the massive social programs that these SAME people love will REQUIRE large population increases to even HOPE to sustain these programs financially for future generations...

One week in.

Well, we are one week into Chairman Obama's leadership. What have been the top priorities of his new administration, seemingly more important that anything else so far? Let's see, he has almost immediately allowed OUR money to be used overseas by agencies that provide abortions. I guess all the abortions taking place here are simply not enough in Obama's eyes. He must spread it around, and to top it off, make us pay for it.

Second, he has ordered the eventual closing of the Guantanamo terrorist prison. This sure makes me feel safer, how about you? In the meantime, it seems I heard about several more bank failures over the past week...Wouldn't the Obama supporters have us believe that the very fact of his being in the White House would almost magically put a stop to such things?

Maybe I am being too hard on him. I am sure he simply couldn't let such trivial things detract him from the pressing work of funding the killing of more babies and letting terrorists go free.

Is it 2012 Yet?

Well, today our four year nightmare begins....I really hope that with a little luck and possibly some divine intervention, that four years from now, the right conservative leader will emerge, that enough people will finally 'wake up' and realize the dangers of socialism, and frankly, that enough is left of our republican form of government and our liberty from which to rebuild and begin to repair the damage that will have surely been done.

A little over the top? Perhaps...Time will tell....My biggest fear is that things will actually be WORSE than I imagine....

Goodbye President Bush

I watched today as the mindless Obama-bots showed absolutely no class in their treatment of President Bush during the inauguration. Of course, given their collective IQ, this was to be expected...

While President Bush was far from the ideal conservative, especially during the last few months of his term, he still deserves far more respect than was shown him today, or at anytime during his presidency for that matter. While there are many things I could list that occurred during his presidency that could have been better from a conservative standpoint, he still had many successes, namely the wonderful supreme court choices he made, which ironically, may prove to be our salvation from some of the radicalism to come. I am convinced that with hindsight, history will be far more kind to President Bush than many are today.

I hope that President Bush realizes that there are many of us out here in 'real' America that appreciates his service, and wishes him all the best.

Inauguration bailout

Today, President Bush declared January 20th an "emergency" for the District of Columbia, making it eligible for federal funds for inauguration day costs. This is, in my mind, little more than yet ANOTHER bailout, this time for something that has not even happened yet, no less...

Didn't Obama state just the other day that "everybody in the country is going to have to sacrifice something" to fix the economy? Seems to me that a good place to start would be his requesting a 'scaled down' inauguration to save some money, and possibly the need for those emergency federal funds...

As if a democrat knows how to cut spending, or even many Republicans anymore, it seems....

Congressional Motors Part 2

Last month, I posted an 'ad' for the new 'Congressional Motors Pelosi'...I just discovered this YouTube video of the ad, and thought it was worth a post...

Pepsi for Obama?

I first noticed the new Pepsi logo a week or so ago at a supermarket. I instantly thought it looked strikingly similar to the Obama logo, but thought it was surely a coincidence, and others I talked to did not even notice the resemblance...

Then, bored one night, I decided to use Google and see if anyone else had noticed this similarity. I instantly discovered that this logo was quite the topic of discussion on certain websites, with several local TV stations even airing clips about it.

This video, however, made it quite clear to me that as hard as it is to believe, this logo design was no coincidence...Just watch for the Pepsi ad on the second bus during the clip to see what I mean.

I have always been a Coke drinker...With this kind of stunt from Pepsi, I doubt that will be changing anytime soon!

Sarah Palin Interview

Here is excerpts from an interview Sarah Palin did for an upcoming documentary about media bias:

Sometimes you just have to laugh

For people who don't believe media bias exists, even subtly ...This picture is for you. It was taken from the show 'What Would You Do' which recently aired on ABC. The premise of the segment of the show this shot was taken from is how people in France would react to the 'Ugly American' stereotype, albeit taken to the extreme. Of course, due to the t-shirt, we got the expected clip of a french citizen comparing support for President Bush to support of Adolph Hitler, which I am sure is exactly what ABC intended from the start...

My question to ABC would be, Isn't it just as possible that an Obama voter could act like a jackass while traveling overseas? Why couldn't this clip have been done with just as much impact without injecting politics at all? Of course, the answer is obvious...ANY chance to bash conservatives, no matter HOW subliminally, will not be passed up....

Another aspect of this show that I found amusing...The first segment of the show dealt with how Mexicans who did not speak English were treated badly in a restaurant when trying to place an order, and filmed the reactions of other customers as the person taking their order berated them for not speaking English, among other things.

Interestingly, in the 'Ugly American' segment, they actually posted a list of what one should do when travelling abroad to not be seen AS an 'Ugly American.' One of the items listed was to 'learn the language', even if only a few words to show an effort. Hmm...While I certainly wouldn't want to see anyone treated as the Mexicans were in this show, I still find it interesting that If Americans expect the same, we are portrayed as racists, but if WE travel without learning some of the other language, then we are an 'Ugly American.' Double standard anyone?
