THIS one's for YOU,, toadie..LMAO..
I tend to agree though I would add a number of Republican names to that List including that of McCain,, Graham,, Specter and for that matter,, MOST of the Republican Elitists in the upper Heirarchy of the Republican Party..
It is DOUBTFUL that ANY who has followed Politics EVEN in a rudimentary fashion for the last ten years can reasonably deny this..
For MOST of us,, THIS has been EVIDENT since the days of the So-Called Reagan Democrats who sought NOT to embrace the Republican Ideals but instead worked feverishly to UNDERMINE them in favor of the Democrat Platform.. For DECADES now they have worked OVERTIME to Shift the Republican Party to the FAR Left and so,, to a GREAT degree,, THEY HAVE SUCCEDED....
It is Interresting that NONE of the Democrat so called defectors EVER took a secondary role in the Republican Party but were instead allowed to secure positions of LEADERSHIP right off the bat..
And of Course,, ONE simply CANNOT fail to mention the role of the Liberal MSM is this election..
EVEN NOW,, the loss of this last election is being touted as a result of the Republicans NOT embracing the Philosophies and Political Trappings of the Democrats and they are even WRONG in THIS..
Ie..It is IRONIC that Illegal Immigration KEEPS coming up as a MAIN reason for this loss when it was the REPUBLICAN Candidate that SPONSORED the McCain/Kennedy Amnesty Bill..
As you can PLAINLY see,, it EVEN bears his NAME..
In contrast,, it DIDN’T help when McCain stumbled into the Republican camp every now and then either..
Ie… Another reason cited for the loss was that McCain FAILED to name a LIBERAL Democrat turned LIBERAL Independent ( Lieberman ) as his running mate but instead had the termerity and the GALL to name a Conservative to the position..
THESE are just TWO examples..
Remember,,, THIS is coming from the VERY people who are trying to CRIMINALIZE Conservatism and ERADICATE the TRUE Republican Party and HAVE been for DECADES..
The FACT of the matter is that we ONLY had a SINGLE choice in this last election for President and THAT choice was between a FIRST and a SECOND string Democrat.. Those who CHOSE to Surrender their principles have YET to learn that the ONLY people that can get away with ACTING like a Democrat IS a DEMOCRAT..THAT which KEEPS or gets a Republican thrown in JAIL or OUT of Office gets a REAL Democrat PROMOTED…McCAIN lost this election,,, NOT Palin..
Today they’re calling these Psudo-Republicans,,, Socialists..For YEARS we’ve been calling them RINOs….There’s NOTHING New here..
It’s about TIME that the Members of the Republican party have something better to say about an impending election then,,
"Is THIS the BEST that the Republican Party has to OFFER???"
It's ALL in THEIR hands..DON'T expect others to DO this for you..
It is said that as a result of elections in a Democracy the People get EXACTLY what they Deserve..
The SAME is TRUE of those who get chosen to represent YOUR side in an election..
McCain was our Candidate because THAT WAS WHAT THE OTHER SIDE WANTED....
Make SURE that THIS never happens again or TRUE DEMOCRACY will continue to fall VICTIM to the KINGMAKERS..
We’ve ALL seen the story… An Iraqi "reporter" throws his shoe at the President.. If you didn’t actually SEE it you KNOW by now that the Uproarious Cheering that you HEARD were those of the Bush Haters as THEY taped this story for repeated viewings at their Pot Parties..
We’ve ALL heard the reports by now. ALREADY the MSM has TRIED to portray this as an example of the COMMON sentiment of the Iraqi People and they LINK,, along WITH this Politically Motivated LIE,, the Idea and concept that ALL of our Efforts,, ALL of our Sacrifices were WASTED in our Attempts to Bring Freedoms to a COUNTRY populated by,, and THIS is THEIR word,, "SAVAGES" who are GENETICALLY INCAPABLE of appreciating such Freedoms....We've ALL heard THIS before TIME and TIME again....
Now,, LET’S put aside for a moment the FACT that this SAME Liberal MSM would CRUCIFY any but another Liberal for branding a WHOLE people and population living in one of the OLDEST Civilized Cultures on the Planet as "Savages" and just chaulk THAT up to yet ANOTHER example of Hypocracy from the Left..Merely ANOTHER of the INCALCUABLE number of them that would take MANY MANY lifetimes to list HERE....
The FACT is that THIS reporter NO MORE reflects the Common Sentiment of the Iraqi People then Bill Ayers or the Reverend Wright reflects the Common Sentiment of the American People.. But THAT deviates from the GIST of the REASON for this post..
The Problem that I have with the way this story has been reported and the way that the accompanying debate surrounding it has developed is this WIDESPREAD PORTRAYAL of this incident as FREE SPEECH..
I have seen this story talked about on ALL of the Network and Cable News shows and have YET to see this LIE being challenged..The BEST that I have heard was that THIS Pig of a reporter was exercizing a FREEDOM that he would have been EXECUTED for JUST 6 YEARS ago.. While such an ACTION as THIS and it’s HARSH subsequent REACTION by a Saddam Government is a FOREGONE conclusion,, I STILL have a SERIOUS Problem with this being Portrayed as a MERE example of FREE SPEECH…
Because,, IT IS NOT!!!!!!!!!!
ForGET Saddam.. If THIS had happened in ANY country,, INCLUDING Iraq,, to ANY other Head of State,, OTHER then BUSH,, it would have been treated and REPORTED AS the ASSAULT that it REALLY IS..
There would have BEEN no discussions over FREE SPEECH..It would NOT have EVEN been SUGGESTED that it WAS Free Speech..It would have been UNIVERSALLY Condemned as the PHYSICAL Assault that it IS..
NOT EVEN HERE,, in what we DEEM as the Freedom Capital of the World,, would such an action be interpreted as FREE SPEECH NOR would WE accept,, as PLAUSABLE,, AS a PEOPLE,, Such a rediculous claim… NOT even the most LIBERAL Supreme Court in OUR History would have RULED in Favor of this Abberation in the interpretation of OUR Constitution....
NOW,, BEFORE the Bush Haters climb ALL over this,, Squalling about HOW TRUE this is under a BUSH Administration that has SHRED the Constitution and how America has LOST it’s Freedoms to a TYRANT let me Point out yet ANOTHER Fact here..
THIS would NOT have been acceptable10 YEARS ago..
Imagine a Rush limbaugh throwing his shoe at President Clinton at a Press Conference or to be MORE to the Point,, Imagine HIM doing this and aiming that shoe at a Yassar Arafst standing NEXT to the President at a Press Rally..
HE would have been HAULED away and RIGHTFULLY so..
He would have been ARRESTED,, He would have been CHARGED and HE would have been CONVICTED of a CRIME.. AND,,,, He would have LOST any APPEAL based on a claim of Free Speech..
There WOULD NOT EVEN BE any Serious discussions of Free Speech by the MSM.... The VERY suggestion of it would have been LAUGHED at by the SAME people who are CLAIMING it NOW MERELY because it was against BUSH....
Now,,THAT’S just 10 YEARS AGO ,,,,BUT,, LET’S face it….
THIS would NOT have been acceptable 20 YEARS ago..
SAME scenario but with Reagan and Gorbechov.. SAME results….
30 YEARS ago,, EVEN under Carter THIS would have been an assault whether the Shoe was aimed at HIM or Sadat or Bagin..
The Point IS,, WE run into a danger when we DEFINE crimes NOT by the ACTIONS of a Perpetrater but by the IDENTITY of the VICTIM..
We live In TOUGH times..We have ALWAYS lived in tough times but for DECADES we have CHOSEN to IGNORE that and we were ISOLATED enough and Powerful enough to ENFORCE that Ignorance....Terrorism did NOT start 8 Years ago..It did NOT start with 9/11..It DIDN"T start under Bush and HE did NOT increase it’s activity..It DIDN’T even START for America under THIS President..THOSE that MAKE such a claim CHOOSE to IGNORE HISTORY…Terrorism has BEEN a reality for the WORLD for the ENTIRE 20th Century…There has NEVER even been a TIME when America was the SOLE target of Terrorists though there HAVE been attacks AGAINST America as there have been with MANY other Countries..I can remember when AIRLINE Hi-Jackings ALL OVER THE WORLD were their Pricipal Weapon and THAT was WAAAY back in the 60s..We COULDN’T and DIDN’T ignore these attacks back then,,THEY were ALL the RAGE of the MSM so WHAT did WE do as a People..WE did the NEXT best thing..… THAT which we COULDN’T Ignore any longer we simply refused to take SERIOUSLY and THAT amounted to the SAME thing…
Well..NOW we can’t do EITHER.. Welcome to what the REST of the world has been forced to face for DECADES..
And WHILE you’re Cheering this particular event I would LIKE to point out just ONE other little FACT for you...THAT which you approve of for ONE President you APPROVE of for ALL Presidents…INCLUDING Obama..
Hypocracy has NO Power here..ONLY the POWER of Momentum sways these events..
ONCE an activity becomes acceptable at ALL it becomes acceptable at ALL times..
ONCE that door is OPENED it cannot be so easilly closed again..
And IF you think,, in your shallow and myopic view of things,,, that THIS event is somehow inherently Innocent in it’s nature or that such an activity is completely devoid of ANY possible danger..Remember that EVEN as I speak,,EVEN as you CHEER that shoe flying towards the face of your hated enemy as a HARMLESS expression of Free Speech,, BEFORE you LAUGH this off as a JUSTIFIED action against HE who you have dedicated your LIFE towards Hating,, I remind you that WE have in Prison RIGHT now one whose VERY nickname was and Still IS,,
"THE SHOE BOMBER"………
And for THOSE who have ALWAYS hated America,, ONE President is JUST as good a TARGET as the other…
You're kidding right ,,, JEOK????
THIS is the BEST that you can come UP with???
ooooOOOOOooo..Republicans are involved in Foreign Businesses..
ooOOOOoo..STRING 'Em UP...
Gimme a BREAK..Clinton does MORE then THIS every DAY before Breakfast..
YOUR side's out there selling Senate Seats ( AND trying to BUY them ) to the Highest Bidder and YOU have the GALL to say that ONLY Republicans are Corrupt????
WHAT exactly do they CALL your type of Mental Disease anyway???
JUST to answer the question posed by UAW....
WHY the Financial Industry and NOT us???
WHAT'S the Difference???
There is a MAJOR difference between the bailout of the Financial Industry and the Auto makers..
First..The Financial Industry Failures effect EVERYBODY and it's Collapse leaves NO alternatives..There is NOWHERE ELSE TO GO..
The Collapae of the BIG three does NOT mean that you can NEVER again buy a car or a truck.. It JUST means that you will buy them ELSEWHERE..
SECOND..The Financial Industry Crises was and IS,, at LEAST to a GREAT degree,, the RESULT of Government INTERFERRENCE in the FREE Market System whereas the Big Three's Financial Crises is,, to a GREAT degree,, the result of the UNION and LEGACY Company Busting Contracts...
And as VIT has stated elsewhere and is EXACTLY right..The UAW is NOT just a group of workers ALL trying to make a living wage..The UAW is a CORPORATION,, with a PRESIDENT,, a BOARD of DIRECTORS and yes,,EVEN dues Paying Shareholders..
THE crises is NOTHING more then the result of a DECADES long Struggle between TWO CORPORATIONS..EACH with it's OWN interrest,, and NOT the Membership,, on the line...
And to answer ANOTHER question posed by the UAW..
WHY should WE take a paycut while other's don't???
The Answer..
Because the OTHERS don't make better then TWICE the WAGE of everybody ELSE in the Marhet at Large and even MORE importently,,THEIR Wages AREN'T driving THEIR Companies into BANKRUPCY...
And LASTLY….Did you HEAR the head of the UAW today??
JUST to demonstrate the MONUMENTAL ARROGANCE of this guy and the UAW as a whole,, HE has the AUDACITY to demand ACCESS to TOYOTA to "Investegate" their Business Practices..Now we already KNOW that he’ll come away with Horror stories of Toyota Employees STARVING to DEATH while they’re SLAVING away in SEWER like Working Conditions..……
He THEN produces a "Dan Rather" style document,, with NO way to know WHO and WHERE it supposedly originated from,, but CLAIMS that it’s PROOF that this WHOLE thing is a PLOT by the Republicans to Break the Unions..Didn’t take HIM long to find a SCAPEGOAT to point his finger at..The problem IS,,The VAST majority of Americans are AGAINST ANY BAILOUT no matter WHOSE fault it is…
Yep..It is NO wonder that THE UAW is so closely connected to the Democrat Party...Their TACTICS are IDENTICAL and if you LISTEN to THEIR arguments CAREFULLY,,What they're Saying is that EVERYBODY else BUT them should be MADE to Sacrifice and MAKE concessions to keep THEM in Power..
Now..HERE'S MY question for the UAW..
WHY should EACH and EVERY Taxpayer in THIS country support your EXTRAVAGANT Lifestyles and LUST for POWER????
Now..
PAY attention to the response of the Unions here and SEE for yourself WHY and HOW the Big Three got INTO the Financial Crises that they have BEEN in for the LAST 30 YEARS..
LISTEN to their WORDS..It's ALREADY started BUT NOW it'll take on a MORE Strident Tone..
And it'll ALL boil down to the SAME words that they USED to get their Contracts LO these many Decades..Only NOW it'll be directed at the COUNTRY as a whole...
" GIVE us what WE demand or WE'LL destroy you.."
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand
was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a
conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his election to be our president.
The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post
Turtle.'
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post
turtle' was. The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a
country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top,, that's a 'post turtle.'
The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he
continued To explain. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he
doesn't belong Up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's
up there, and you just wonder what kind of idiot put him up there to begin
with.'
****************************************************
Well HELL,,,It JUST so happens that I can answer that LAST question…In FACT,, One of the leading Pollsters HAS answered that question..
The Obama voter, apparently, is one of the most ignorant sets of voters that we have ever seen or known about in a presidential race. John Ziglar got hold of Zogby, and said, "I have some questions," and he paid him to do a poll.
They just went out, found a bunch of Obama voters and they did the SAME type of scientific poll that Zogby always does. It was comprised of 512 Obama voters between November 13th and November 15th. The margin of error is 4.4 points.
By the way, 97.1% of the Obama voters were high school graduates or higher. Fifty-five percent were college graduates...So,, we're NOT talking about the Poor,, the Disadvantaged and the Uneducated here..THIS is the CREAM of the CROP...
THIS was a Multiple Choice Survey so the CORRECT answers were RIGHT there for ALL to see.. You actually had a 25% chance of getting it right just by guessing..
THIS is just SOME of what they Found;
57.4% could not correctly say which party controls Congress..
71.8% could not correctly say that Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism..
82.6% could not correctly say that Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot..
88.4% could not correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket..
56% could not correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground..
So 56% basically didn't know a THING about Bill Ayers,, WHO he IS and to WHAT extent he has a relationship with our NEW President-Elect...
On the OTHER hand,,
87% knew that Sarah Palin is the person upon whom the party spent $150,000 in clothes..
94% knew that Sarah Palin was the one with the pregnant teenaged daughter..
86.9% thought Palin said she could see Russia from her house, even though it was Tina Fey and NOT Sarah Palin that said that,, as Fey portrayed Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live..
These were Obama voters. Now, what THIS shows is that the Obama voters were total addicts to the Drive-By Media. The Drive-By Media informed none of their audience about Bill Ayers, about Biden and his plagiarism. These voters knew NOTHING of these things but they DID know everything in the world about Sarah Palin. They knew ( or more precisely,,were TOLD TO know) how stupid she was, how dumb she was... Obama's voters,, on the other hand,, have no clue as to who he REALLY is.
It's ALL VERY interesting. BTW…Zogby took a LOT of heat for this like you can't imagine from the Drive-By Media..
He had to put out a statement on his website verifying that this was a legit poll and that he was contracted by John Ziglar to do this and that he did so according to the SAME scientific techniques that he always uses and that EVERYONE,,INCLUDING the SAME Drive-By Media,, has ALWAYS accepted..
So NOW we KNOW who it IS that put that Turtle on the Fence post..The SAME Morons that call US Braindead,, Mindnumb Imbeciles who have to be TOLD what to think because WE,,, simply CANNOT do so for ourselves..
SOME people SEEM to think that JUST because some DOGS do it,, it MUST be a Constitutional RIGHT for HUMANS to do it....
I have seen Dogs mounting people's LEGS but THAT doesn't mean that they should have the LEGAL right to get married.. Dogs will ALSO mount Trees,,Telephone poles,, Fire hydrants and whatever else is handy at the time and NOT moving fast enough to get away....Kinda like Clinton.. ( LMAO,,Sorry..COULDN'T Help Myself...LMAO..)
To THOSE who Attempt to DISMISS the Will of the People by Stamping on THEIR rights,, I say…
Make NO mistake about it..This IS a LEGAL issue..NOT a Religious one..IT is PURE Laziness and it is indeed,, Intellectually Vacuous to attempt to MAKE a positive argument through a negative process involving the villification of those who do NOT share these views of the Left.... It has gotten to the point where SOME people SEEM to be under the mistakened impression that an argument can be won,, HANDS DOWN and without FURTHER DEBATE,, by merely pointing out that the opposition’s view is based on Religion or Conservatism..
I ASSURE you..YOU COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG!!!!!!
The PEOPLE prove THAT time and time again JUST as they DID in THIS case..
And I FURTHER Assure you and ANYONE else of ANOTHER FACT of Life..
Religious People and Conservatives have a RIGHT to their Beliefs and they ALSO have the RIGHT to express those beliefs,, as OFTEN and as LOUDLY and in ANY public setting as they care to DO so… JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE…..INCLUDING YOU.. And their Views are EVERY bit the EQUAL,, their RIGHTS every bit as set in stone,, in terms of Importance and Legitimacy,, as YOUR’S….
One does NOT wiave their GOD GIVEN Constitutional Rights by FOLLOWING,, or EVEN Preaching,, the WORD of GOD or by expousing the views of Conservatism....
YOU people on the LEFT AREN’T tyrants YET and you STILL have a LOOONG way to GO before you’ll GET there…
THIS amendment has been portrayed as a DANGEROUS change and that portrayal is both intentionally DECIETFUL and WRONG.. Far from being a change,, THIS Amendement represents a TRADITIONAL View of marriage.. It IS,, in Fact,, a SAFEGUARD in Favor of the Traditional SANCTITY of marriage which HAS.. for some 60 years now,, been under a CONSTANT and Incessant barrage of assaults by the Left.. It is AGAINST a dangerous change and the manner in which that change is being attempted… AND,, the WAY in which this safeguard has been accomplished reflects an even MORE dangerous and INSIDIOUS Change that has been observed of late..,, The arbitrary and UNCONSTITUTIONAL ABUSE of POWER by Black Robed Political Accolytes of the Left that WE have come to know as the Federal Judiciary.. Those who DEFY the Will of the People… Those who consider themselves to be NOT only ABOVE the Law,, but ,, indeed,, consider themselves as the HIGH Priesthood OF the LAW..
And BTW..LET me clue some of you people IN on a REALITY of LIFE here...
NOBODY has a Constitutional RIGHT to be Married in the FIRST place..
If they DID,, One could SUE for NOT being Married... ONE could SUE each and EVERY person who EVER refused to marry you..
And HERE'S another one for you..
You DON'T even have a RIGHT to have SEX..
If you DID,, there'd be NO such thing as RAPE...ALL such Laws defining RAPE would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL...
This WHOLE business is an ATTEMPT at gaining a LEGAL recognition leading to what the supporters HOPE to eventually gain,,THAT being... The OVERALL acceptance by the General Population of THAT which they have ALWAYS REFUSED to accept.... And they will HAVE that recognition EVEN if that acceptance HAS to be accomplished by FORCE of LAW..
And as FAR as these rediculous examples of Naturally occuring acts of Homosexuality in animals is concerned,,, FAR from being an argument AGAINST the traditional view of the Sanctity of Marriage they are ,, IN FACT,,, EXACTLY the OPPOSITE…
Studies show that when these incidents of what appears to be same sex attempts to couple occur in nature there's usually an extra oridinary reason to account for it such as a LACK of Females.. THIS can orrur for ANY number of reasons.. It is DOUBTFUL that there is ANY attraction involved at all..JUST a STRONG Sex Drive and a COMPLETE LACK of Intellect and Self Control.. Something excusable and EVEN expected in Animals .. We do NOT assigned THAT level of responsibility to them..
THIS is MERELY an Instinctive Reaction to the onset of the Natural Sex Drive,, usually SEASONABLE in Nature and therefore overwhelmingly powerful,, But even THEN,, homosexual encounters in nature is NOT considered to be the Norm…..
It should ALSO be noted that EVEN in those creatures that normally MATE for LIFE,, such as in SOME species of birds,, where THIS Deviance from the norm ( And BTW..There is NOTHING inherently WRONG with BEING Normal ) has been observed,, there is NO such exclusive devotion between the individuals that can be even remotely defined as a lasting relationship.. The Individual of interrest,, if you will,, will invariably move ON to his NEXT target of interrest with NO more of an attachment then one would NORMALLY see exibited between the Sexual Miscreant and the other members of his OWN sex.. So,, though one MIGHT make an Argument that the ACT of Homosexuality MAY be occuring in Nature,, there is NO such evidence to suggest that the animal kingdom’s version of a MARRAIGE between same sex couples EVER takes place..
And BTW..
Exactly WHEN did WE,, as HUMAN BEINGS,, take our Cues from Animals ANYWAY???
Before you start opening THAT door it is well to remember ANOTHER thing about the Animal Kingdom…
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RAPE IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM…
No matter how VIOLENT,, FORCEFUL and yes,, EVEN INJURIOUS,, the MATING Process may be….
As we contemplate the rather Embarrassing Fall of the Republican Party resulting from these elections we must NO more DO so in a panic then we SHOULD have forgotten,, in our celebrations 12 years ago,, why we EVER won in the FIRST Place..
It is LONG past time when the Republican Party Should return to it’s Republican Values and Ideals and finally to realize that acting like Democrats was a FATAL Mistake and a TERMINALLY Flawed Strategy..
It is,,
TIME to PURGE the Party of RINOs and OTHER second string Democrats....
TIME to LOOK to the Future instead of the past..
TIME to WEED out the Old Timer Fossels more interrested in Party Power then the Good of the Country..
TIME to get RID of this "It’s YOUR turn " Heirarchy..
TIME that our Candidates REALIZE that the Possibility of GAINING Converts CANNOT take Precedence over the Loyalty to the Party’s ideals...
TIME to Modernize,, without abandoning TIME Honored Principles,, and LEARN to USE the resources that the other side has USED only too well..
TIME to Realize that to BECOME a Republican is to EMBRACE the Ideals of the Party,,NOT to have the Party Aquiesce to the Demands for COMPRIMIZE..
For FAR TOO long Comprimize was a REPUBLICAN thing to do..Working Across the aisle meant that ONLY Republicans made the Trip.. Comprimize,, as it ALWAYS does,, ONLY costs the one who’s DOING it..THIS has GOT to STOP…
But First..We have to face a reality..
WE were OUTGUNNED..
WE were OUTTALKED..
WE were OUTCLASSED..
WE were OUTSPENT..PERIOD..
Interrestingly enough,,McCain was Defeated by the McCain/Feingold Campaign Reform Act..He was DEFEATED when he COMPRIMIZED in that Violation of Free Speech,,LONG before he announced his candidacy,,HE WAS DEFEATED..
ONCE again..Crossing the aisle has resulted in a KNIFE in the Back for Republicans..
I have sat for LONG enough as the RINOs quothed in Pious ARROGANCE that Reaganism.. a PROVEN and WINNING Strategy,, is OBSOLETE and that the NEW Republican Party must SHIRK their Heritage of HONOR and INTEGRITY for the Ways of that "Other " Party.. Well,, We SEE where THAT gets us..MAJOR LOSSES IN THE LAST TWO ELECTIONS….
I mean REALLY,, THINK about it....WHO would want a SECOND STRING Democrat when the REAL thing is so easilly available???
It should NOW be evident that we MUST re-evaluate the Future of Our party..THIS election was between the Pick of the Media and the Pick of the Clintons..We must NEVER allow THAT to happen again..
A TRUE Republican,,One that STANDS for and LIVES the Ideals and Values that WE,, as a Party,, have ALWAYS claimed that WE stand for..would have run away with this election..HANDS DOWN..
NOW we find ourselves at a crossroads where WE define WHO and WHAT we TRULY are..and are GOING to BE..
Until we do THAT,,we have NO business worrying about the State of the Country for WE are NOT worthy of that concern..
FEAR NOT for this country because of THIS election..
THIS country is FAR STRONGER then YOU have been LED to believe..And They STILL have the People to contend with...
THAT which we CANNOT avoid we MUST endure..
And America is an ENDURING Nation if it is NOTHING else..
And you know that ole saying..THAT which doesn't KILL us makes us STRONGER..
I see us becoming FAR STRONGER then we EVER were before because of the Hurtles that NOW lie before us....
THIS is perhaps the BEST thing that could've happened as far as the Republicans are concerned..The Parties were getting FAR too much like each other and maybe,,JUST Maybe,, the Republican Party will FINALLY SEE the FOLLY in that..
MAYBE,,They'll QUIT acting like Democrats and START acting Like Republicans because MARK my words..
Tonight,, as FAR as THIS election was concerned,, ONLY the better of TWO DEMOCRATS won...
THIS is the Change that WE,,as Republicans,, MUST concern ourselves with BEFORE the Voices of REASON are SILENCED forever…
It is NOT a time to lay down in Defeat..NOT a time to throw in the Towel..Wallow in Self Pity..FAR from it..It is the TIME to GRASP the OPPORTUNITY for it IS clearly Knocking..
It is TIME to say..WE have ONLY begun to FIGHT..
NOW..MORE then EVER,,YOUR Country NEEDS you.. Are WE to FAIL her as our Leaders failed US???
NOT in MY America..
DON’T be FOOLED by the HYPE..
YOU know as well as I do that THIS campaign has been ONE revealing Statement after another by the Obama/Biden team and that the Obama HANDLERS have had to KEEP coming out OVER and OVER again to do DAMAGE CONTROL..
Saying that HE didn’t say THIS or that he REALLY Meant THAT.. That YOU didn’t HEAR them say this or that when you know DAMN well you did.. Basically,,they're calling you STUPID..
NOT to mention that this team says things and THEN CHANGES their Tune once the TRUTH hits the fan..They CHANGE their Message as Often as the Obama Cultists change their Ids on this site..
Don’t pay attention to what people who are MOTIVATED to LIE tell you what these guys said..
To THESE guys speaking the TRUTH about their Candidate is ATTACKING them..JUST like when Reid held up his OWN Voting Record that his oppostion was running against and called it SLANDER..
PAY ATTENTION TO THE CANDIDATES THEMSELVES…It’s ALL right there in their OWN words..
Both Obama AND Biden have said that there will be NO COAL PLANTS running in THIS country when they get through with them..
THEY seek to FURTHER Cripple America’s ability to become ENERGY INDEPENDENT..
No WONDER the Middle East LOVES these guys..
Back in 2001 Seven years before Barack Obama’s "spread the wealth" comment to Joe the Plumber became a campaign issue, the current Democratic presidential candidate said in a radio interview that the U.S. has suffered from a fundamentally FLAWED Constitution that does not mandate or allow for the "Redistribution of Wealth"…
In a newly unearthed tape, Obama is heard telling Chicago's public station WBEZ-FM in 2001 that "redistributive change" is needed, pointing to what he regarded as a failure of the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren in its rulings on civil rights issues in the 1960s.
The Warren court, he said, failed to..
"break free from the essential constraints in the U.S. Constitution and launch a major redistribution of wealth."
But then Obama, then an Illinois state senator, said that the legislative branch of government, rather than the courts, probably was the ideal avenue for accomplishing that goal.( Because COURTS are ALSO bound to that very SAME Flawed Constitution )
He went on to say,
"If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, so that now I would have the right to vote. I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order and as long as I could pay for it I’d be OK
But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you. It says what the Federal Government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the federal government or the state governments MUST do on your behalf.
And that hasn't shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court-focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that."
Now.. "What’s the PROBLEM here",,you ask..Well..Beyond the fact that Obama has Demonstrated a PROFOUND departure from the intended ROLE of the Constitution,, he is willing to FUNDAMENTALLY change the ENTIRE Scope of the role that the Constitution PLAYS in Our Society..
His Disrespectful Reference to the Constitution as a "Charter of Negativity" and a " Fundamentally FLAWED Constitution" show that he has as Little Respect for that Documant as he does for ANY American Icon such as the American Flag..
Now..HERE’S something that the ACLU doesn’t WANT you to KNOW or WORSE yet,, to Understand…
As originally intended,,
The Constitution does NOT grant you ANY Positive Rights..in FACT,,there are ONLY three Positive rights enumerated in ANY of our Founding Documents and they are "Endowed" by OUR Creator,, NOT the Constitution..
THEY are,,,LIFE,,LIBERTY and the PERSUIT of HAPPINESS..
The Constitution is a Document that DIRECTS the PROHIBITIONS of the GOVERNMENTS in their DEALINGS with those THREE rights and THAT is it's ONLY Intended Function..
For Instance,, the Prohibition of ANY Law AGAINST Free Speech automatically RECOGNIZES and Respects the Positive right of LIBERTY.... In Passing a Negative Law AGAINST Murder you are recognizing and respecting the Positive right to LIFE.. and SO it goes..The TEN Commandments are the SAME way..
The Constitution,, for instance,, NEVER says that YOU have the right to Free Speech..It ONLY says that the Government cannot abridge or otherwise PROHIBIT that right..The LACK of such prohibitions RESULTS in your FREEDOM to speak your mind without FEAR of Government Intervention under the RIGHT of LIBERTY..
And THIS does NOT prohibit an Individual from doing so..THAT IS COVERED BY CIVIL LAW UNDER "CIVIL RIGHTS"..
Now..LET"S take Home ownership,, as but ONE example of the Obama Doctrine,, and see where Obama’s "Second Bill of Positive Rights" will take us..
Right NOW you have the ability to OWN a Home under the "PERSUIT of Happiness" "Right" endowed by OUR Creator IF INDEED you were to actually PERSUE that end..
Under Obama’s Doctrine of the "Second Bill of Rights".. EVERYBODY would have the RIGHT to own a Home at BIRTH ..
Sounds pretty Compassionate doesn’t it??WHO but a RWNJ could POSSIBLY be against THIS??
Until you realize that,,
By BIRTH you would have that right and it would FALL upon the Government to PROVIDE that home..in OTHER words..we would ALL pay for EVERYBODY to OWN a HOME..
And Since it’s a RIGHT..It would be up to the Government to INSURE that that individual ALWAYS had a home no matter HOW they took care of the LAST one..NOT owning a home or losing a home because you either Couldn’t or Wouldn’t be able to MAINTAIN a Home would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL..
And let’s not EVEN get into the LEGAL Litigations of ONE person’s CLAIMS to compensation should HIS house NOT be as Good as he percieves another’s..
This Redistribution of Wealth Doctrine that has been sparked by the Current Class Warfare Tactics of the Obamessiah,, the ONE who would bring us ALL together,, represents the Greatest Threat that THIS country has EVER faced,,IN time of War or NOT..
Our Founding Father's thought LONG and HARD about these weighty issues and the Constitution,, AS IT IS,, was the result..It was NOT by accident that we see this revered Document in the form that it is..
Spreading the Wealth will inevitably and invariably become,, as it has ALWAYS become whenever and wherever it has been tried,, synonymous with the Spreading of MISERY..
The media coverage of the race for president has not so much cast Barack Obama in a favorable light as it has gone out of it’s way to portray John McCain in a substantially negative one, according to a new study of the media since the two national political conventions ended.
For Obama during this period, just over a third of the stories were clearly positive in tone (36%), while a similar number (35%) were neutral or mixed. A smaller number (29%) were negative.
For McCain, by comparison, nearly six in ten of the stories studied were decidedly negative in nature (57%), while fewer than two in ten (14%) were positive.
McCain Obama
14% Positive 36% Positive ( More then Doubled for Obama)
29% Nuetral 35% Nuetral ( About the Same)
57% Negative 29% Negative ( ALMOST Doubled for Mccain)
Didn't feel the NEED to post a link..
THIS was ALL over the NEWS this Morning..
They Selected our Candidates,,NOW they're selecting Our President..
And OH Yes,,The Polls..Those pesky polls we've been subjected to EVERY day..
Have you noticed how the polls are tightening up as we get closer to election day??
DON'T let them FOOL you with a bunch of BS....Ohhh,,, THEY even made up a NAME for it now,,Something SINISTER Sounding.. Something that they IMPLY is RACIST..
They call it The BRADLY EFFECT after a Black Politician who LOST when the Polls saod that he should have WON..
DON'T fall for it..
There's ONE reason for this and ONE reason ONLY..
As we get closer to election day the PRIORITIES of the Pollsters SHIFT from trying to Manipulate Opinion to Salvaging some degree,,SOME semblence of Credibility..
ALL of a sudden ACCURACY counts MORE then anything else..
NOW they're worrying about getting CAUGHT WAY off the mark as they did in the LAST two elections..
It's a pitiful FOOL indeed that put's TOO much stock in them..
You’ve got TENS of THOUSANDS of Bogus Voter Registrations by Obama’s CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION,, ACORN,, being uncovered EVERY day and NOBODY seems to be able to do ANYTHING about it....Or for THAT matter..even WANT to…
This is FAR More then enough to determine the outcome in ANY of the Close States in recent elections and has the possibility of FOREVER altering or EVEN eliminating the Democratic Process of FREE ELECTIONS...
You have a JUDGE saying that a PARK BENCH is Suitable for voter eligability validation..
The SAME Judge says that ALL Questionable Votes MUST be COUNTED…
You have Obama PROSECUTERS Threatening those who OPPOSE Obama with LEGAL ACTION..
You have Obama’s GOONS using GOVERNMENT COMPUTERS to SMEAR Joe the Plumber..
You have Obama’s GOONS going after the FAMILY,, as they DID with Palin,, of a Reporter DOING HER JOB..
ALL this from a Chicago THUG who ONLY got elected into office by ILLEGALLY digging into his opponent’s PRIVATE ( the RYANS ) Background during a CUSTODY Battle and using Chicago Style EXTORTION to make him back out..
ALL this guy needs is a Pistol and he can DROP his LAST Name and change his FIRST one to SADDAM..
And if you THINK it’s bad NOW,,WAIT ‘till he STEALS the election..He’ll have the WHOLE Thuggish Democrat Congress backing him up…
I sat in STUNNED silence as I watched two prominenet MSM ULTRA-LIBERAL Reporters on PBS,, Brokaw and Moyers,, admit that after ALL is said and done,, the guy that THEY and the REST of the MSM is Wholeheartedly SUPPORTING in this race is someone that is a STRANGER to them..They REALLY know NOTHING about him…And to be HONEST,,THEY know MORE then WE'VE been able to find out... And WHY bother anyway??
If DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE of Close Relationships with KNOWN Terrorists just SEVEN Years after 9/11 doesn’t matter ,,,WHAT the HELL would???
He’s ALREADY made his HERO Hugo Chevez Proud and the Information BLACKOUT surrounding him would make the CIA Proud..
I go back to the Eisenhower/Nixon Administration and I’m HERE to tell you that I have NOT seen such a Overwhelming CONSPIRACY to SUPPRESS and/or TAMPER with INFORMATION such as I have seen with this Obama Character..NOT since the days immediately after the JFK Assassination..And we STILL don’t know the REAL story THERE….
But you Know,, It’s ONE thing to have to deal with these Cultists and their Socialist Leader..It’s QUITE another to watch our election Process be SO corrupted as to render IT and the Will of the American People MEANINGLESS..
I SWEAR People..I don’t care WHO you are or WHO you’re Voting for,,You have GOT to be concerned over ALL this Voter Tampering..
We’ve ALREADY had ONE Presidential Election go to the Courts..Thank GOD Justice Prevailed but is THAT how we want to DO these things from NOW ON???
On the OTHER hand,, I guess that That’s STILL better then having ACORN INSTALL a President..
Or am I WRONG.. Am I FINALLY seeing what Khruschev Predicted Lo those many years ago..
That DEMOCRACY would DIE from Within….It's ONLY a Matter of TIME.....
Whenever the Left gets it’s back slammed up against the wall they do TWO Things..LIE and DISTRACT…
For instance..I have as YET to see or hear ANYBODY ANYWHERE,, let alone McCain or Palin claim that Obama OR his Socialist’s Tax Plans were COMMUNISM..
The WORD used and the one that’s MOST ACCURATE and BEST describes Obama’s Plans is SOCIALISM..
Communism,,like Facism,, is MERELY TWO of the BEST Known types of Tyrannical Governments MOST associated with and NECESSARY for the Successful Implimentation of Socialism..TRUST the LEFT to NOT know the Difference between the two terms..
And HEY..Let’s Look at this ingenious comparison being made between Socialism and the People of Alaska Receiving DIVIDENDS from the Oil Company’s USE of the People of Alaska’s Resources..
So NOW if you receive Dividends or Royalties from a Corporation you are a Socialist..ROFLMAO..Won’t be LONG before the FREE MARKET system itself is Socialism too..After ALL..When you BUY something are you NOT "Redistributing " a Wealth??? According to the LEFT..You ARE…
Don’t fall for this..There is a CLEAR and DISTINCT definition of what Socialism IS..Don’t let them CONFUSE the ISSUE..
But Look..YOU think that Socialism in America is far fetched???Really???
The TRUTH is..YOU don’t HAVE to travel to Foreign Lands to see the FAILURES of Socialism and it's NOT in the Free market system OR Capitalism..it's IN the GOVERNMENT RUN Programs under the somewhat controversial name of ENTITLEMENTS..
We have spent TRILLIONS of Dollars on these problems since the days of FDR and the EXPANSION of his Programs under LBJ and we STILL have YET to see where a SINGLE problem has been Solved..
NOT ONE…
Poverty,, Hunger,, Joblessness,, Addiction to Drugs,, Dysfunctional Familes,, FATHERLESS families.. YOU NAME IT......ALL are the EPIDEMIC problems that they have ALWAYS been..MANY are WORSE then they USED to be..And quite a few have been ADDED…
FDR’s "New Deal" and LBJ’s "Great Society" are FAILED Socialist Promises and Policies that demand ever MORE and MORE with each passing moment to EXTEND their Failures.
Obama is RIGHT about the fact that these problems still exist but he’s LYING through his TEETH when he says that America has done NOTHING to address them..JUST as he’s LYING when he says that doing MORE of the SAME is going to Solve them..
Change HELL..Obama’s just offering MORE of the SAME…
Not ONE person has EVER been Taxed out of Poverty but before Obama is through a whole COUNTRY will be taxed INTO it..
I guess when the WHOLE Country has become just another miserable and failed Socialist State made bankrupt by the Obama’s of the world and we’re ALL sharing a common misery we can ALL be consoled with the notion that at LEAST and at LONG last,,
We are ALL Equal..
Job Growth - better under Clinton
Stock Market - better under Clinton
GDP - better under Clinton
Better under Clinton??? - AFTER the Republicans took over the Congress..
Today's Economic Problems & Crises??? - AFTER the Democrats took over the Congress..
LAST time the Democrats had the kind of Control over the Government that they're looking to get from THIS election - JIMMY CARTER..
NO one pays a DIME for ALL the Tax Breaks given in ALL of History..
ALL Taxpayers PAY for Socialism...And PAY And PAY And PAY……..
It JUST don’t break down ANY simpler then THAT People..
'Nuff Said
A person walks into a Home Depot,, Tells the employee that he wants to build a house and that he needs a hammer.. The Employee KNOWS that this guy’s going to spend a LOT of Money at Home Depot IF he treats his customer right so he takes a $10.00 Dollar Hammer off the Shelf and says
"I’m going to let YOU have this hammer for $5.00.."
Now,,The Happy Customer has gotten a BREAK..But it is NOT a Gift…He STILL has to pay a PRICE for the Hammer..
Now..LET’S say that this SAME customer comes in and there’s TWO people standing there..NOW the employee takes that SAME $10.00 hammer down off the shelf and says,,
"You have to pay $20.00 for this Hammer"
Naturally,,the SHOCKED Customer says..
"WHAT the hell FOR?? It ONLY says $10.00.."
To WHICH the employee responds..
"Yes,,THAT may be TRUE but Mark here Has EVERY right to that hammer that YOU do and he spent all his money on crack so YOU have to BUY it FOR him..And on TOP of THAT..WHEN you’re finished building your House YOU have to let Mark move IN with you.."
THEN the employee Bytches ‘cause that customer went ahead and got his hammer somewhere else..
Now,,,HOW many of you would put UP with this if YOU were that customer??
A LOT is being made of these Tax Breaks because supposedly ONLY the Wealthy are benefitting from them..How UNFAIR they are because the Government is "Giving" something to ONE Segment of Society that it doesn’t "GIVE" to all..
Well,, THAT’S Not true,, The Government is "Giving " NOTHING away with Tax Breaks..It is SIMPLY agreeing to reduce it’s TAKING AWAY of something that is NOT their’s to begin with....
The FACT of the matter is that TAX BREAKS are NOT socialism and they’re NOT Monies that the Government "Gives away" as is being contended NOR is the REST of America being left out in the Cold here..TAX Breaks are NOT welfare..They are based on TAXES..If you PAY no Taxes you should GET no Tax Breaks and ANY Break should be BASED on the Taxes that you PAY..
THAT'S BASIC LOGIC..
A TAX Break is a FRACTION of a TAX being Levied by the Government..
NOTHING’S being Given to ANYONE with a Tax Break.. People are MERELY being allowed to KEEP more of the Income that THEY EARNED..
It’s NOT the Government’s Money and it SURE as HELL AIN’T your’s either..
On the OTHER hand,, the So called Needy in this country being SCREWED because they receive Little or NOTHING in the way of TAX BREAKS because they PAY NO TAXES is a LIE..
THEY are NOT being Screwed at all… Tha fact of the matter is,,
According to the Budget for Fiscal Year 2008, Taken from the Office of Management and Budget the total outlays for Means Tested Entitlements in 2006 ( for ONE Year ) were $354.3 billion.
This was 2.7% of GDP and This Includes Medicaid, food stamps, family support assistance (AFDC), child nutrition programs, refundable portions of earned income tax credits (EITC and HITC) and child tax credit, welfare contingency fund, child care entitlement to States, temporary assistance to needy families, foster care and adoption assistance, State children’s health insurance and MANY MANY more such Programs GIVEN to people,, BY TAXPAYERS,, for SIMPLY existing...
Now..when you see "Tax Credit" THAT means an Outlay based on an ENTITLEMENT and USUALLY to a NON taxpayer whereas a Tax BREAK is BASED on TAXES to be Paid BY a TAXPAYER..
KEEP this in Mind when you hear Obama's Plans for the Reditribution of Wealth ( Socialism ) in his Rhetoric..
NO welfare recipient or ANYONE else for THAT matter ever paid a DIME to give someone a Tax Break but ALL TAXPAYERS pay to give someone ENTITLEMENTS..
So YOU tell ME..Who’s Screwing WHO????
