People wanted change and what they got is exactly what the GOP predicted a "business hating socialist". The Joker posters are great.

I realize he is not very popular here, but I hope Bill Clinton can help get those journilist out of NK.

This is good.  This needs to be kept up despite the State Run Media under reporting on it.  Town Hall's like these will show Congress and the Senate that we will NOT put up with the Govt trying to control every aspect of our lives.

And that if they don't follow their constituents wishes then they are going to be booted out of office.

The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER

Life ChoicesAn old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men his age, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:
1. A Bible
2. A silver dollar
3. A bottle of whiskey
4. A Playboy magazine'I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself. "When he comes home from school today, I'll see which object he picks up.""If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be!
"If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a business man, and that would be okay, too."But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken bum, and Lord, what a shame that would be.
"And worst of all if he picks up that magazine he's going to be a skirt-chasing womanizer." The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's foot-steps as he entered the house whistling and heading for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With  curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big long drink while he admired the magazine's centerfold."Lord have mercy," the old preacher disgustedly whispered. "He's gonna run for Congress!"

Semper suprene nitens

North Carolina now has the worst government money can buy. 

 Just a thought mind you.

 What kind of repercussions will the ones that vote to limit health care to the elderly get when they tell a family that their elderly parent should just go home and die???????

 I don't think I would tell a member of the NRA that!!!!!! 

Congress doesn't get it!  Taxpayers are angry at the Imperial Congress for a litany of sins,  including "cash for clunkers", proposed tax increases, the proposed takeover of health care, and outrageous waste of taxpayer money on earmarks.  And yet Congressmen bury their heads in the sand, playing ostrich....2010 could be ugly, folks!

Kills capitalism 

Semper suprene nitens

North Carolina now has the worst government money can buy. 

It is fun to watch these idiots get hammered.

Quoted from: 'Acaiguana notes from the Underground' (Soon to be at theaters near you)

it seems that every time anybody criticizes Obama, that's called an 'attack'. I don't remember seeing that pattern when the previous occupant of the Oval Office was there - but I could be wrong.

Here's one example:

"White House uses Web against Drudge attack"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090804/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_health_care

 Bill Clinton is going to North Korea to assist in releasing the two journalists that are in prison there.

Isn't that supposed to be the Secretary of State's job?  Exactly what is Hillary Clinton so busy with that she can't attend to this?

You won't hear it from the MSM, but Hillary Clinton is not doing her job.  She has to rely on Bill to do it.

Obama administration withholds data on program:

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article

 "The limited information shows most buyers are not picking
Ford, Chrysler or General Motors vehicles, and six of the top 10
vehicles purchased are Honda, Toyota and Hyundai. The Associated Press
has sought release of the data since last week. Transportation
Secretary Ray LaHood said Sunday the government would release it."

In any case the 'great success' of the program should not be measured by how many people take advantage of it. If we did the 'bales of cash out the back of a C-130' stimulus idea, I'm sure everyone that could, would take advantage of it. That doesn't mean it's a smart thing to do, or that it is stimulative in an economic sense.

Thanks Barack: from post-racial to most-racial in just six months!

Every day we hear of more and more people trying to pass bills to remove In God We Trust or ANY reference to God from the public domain.  Students are no longer allowed to pray (even silently) at graduation or before the start of a football game.  When was the last time you heard someone say, "God Bless America"?  Political correctness rules the daily comings and goings of us all.  The traditions that have held our country together through thick and thin over the years are being attacked.  It appears that lifestyles are more important than lives to many of our citizens and leaders. 

Americans are now at a crossroad where important decisions must be made.  May God guide us and our leaders from this path toward this great country’s destruction.  This is NOT the America our founding fathers fought for.  It is TIME to speak out, America!  

Yes, It Can and Has Happened!
What would you say if I gave you 11 reasons why the elections in 2010 will be the most important in the ENTIRE history of the United States? 

1.     What if I had told you in October 2008, before the last presidential election, that before Barack Obama's first 100 days in office, the federal government would be in control of both the mortgage and the banking industries? That 19 of America's largest banks would be forced to undergo stress tests by the federal government which would determine if they were insufficiently capitalized, so they must be supervised by the government? Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America." 

2.     What if I had told you that within Barack Obama's first 100 days in office the federal government would be the largest shareholder in the US Big-Three automakers: Ford, GM, and Chrysler? That the government would kick out the CEO's of these companies and appoint hand-picked executives with zero experience in the auto industry and that executive compensation would be determined, not by a Board of Directors, but by the government? Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America." 

3.     What if I had told you that Barack Obama would appoint 21 Czars, without Congressional approval, accountable only to him, not to the voters, who would have control over a wide range of US policy decisions.  That there would be a Stimulus Accountability Czar, an Urban Czar, a Compensation Czar, an Iran Czar, an Auto Industry Czar, a Cyber Security Czar, an Energy Czar, a Bank Bailout Czar, and more than a dozen other government bureaucrats with unchecked regulatory powers over US domestic and foreign policy. Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America." 

4.     What if I had told you that the federal deficit would be $915 billion in the first six months of the Obama presidency - with a projected annual deficit of $1.75 trillion - triple the $454.8 billion in 2008, for which the previous administration was highly criticized by Obama and his fellow Democrats. That Congress would pass Obama's $3.53 trillion federal budget for fiscal 2010. That the projected deficit over the next ten years would be greater than $10 trillion.  Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America." 

5.     What if I had told you that the Obama Justice Department would order FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high-value detainees captured on the battlefield and held at US military detention facilities in Afghanistan. That Obama would order the closing of the Guantanamo detention facility with no plan for the disposition of the 200-plus individuals held there. That several of the suspected terrorists at Guantanamo would be sent to live in freedom in Bermuda at the expense of the US government. That our returning US veterans would be labeled terrorists and put on a watch list. Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America." 

6.     What if I had told you that the federal government would seek powers to seize key companies whose failures could jeopardize the financial system. That a new regulatory agency would be proposed by Obama to control loans, ***********s, mortgage-backed securities, and other financial products offered to the public. Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America." 

7.     What if I had told you that Obama would travel to the Middle East, bow before the Saudi king, and repeatedly apologize for America's past actions. That he would travel to Latin America where he would warmly greet Venezuela's strongman Hugo Chavez and sit passively in the audience while Nicaraguan Marxist thug Daniel Ortega charged America with terrorist aggression in Central America.Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America."

8.     Okay, now what if I were to tell you that Obama wants to dismantle conservative talk radio through the imposition of a new "Fairness Doctrine."  That he wants to curtail the First Amendment rights of those who may disagree with his policies via internet blogs, cable news networks, or advocacy ads. That most major network television and most newspapers will only sing his phrases like state-run media in communist countries? Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America." 

9.     What if I were to tell you that the Obama Justice Department is doing everything it can to limit your Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. That the federal government wants to reinstate the so-called assault weapons ban which would prohibit the sale of any type of firearm that requires the shooter to pull the trigger every time a round is fired. That Obama's Attorney General wants to eliminate the sale of virtually all handguns and ammunition, which most citizens choose for self-defense. Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America." 

10.What if I were to tell you that the Obama plan is to eliminate states rights guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment and give the federal government sweeping new powers over policies currently under the province of local and state governments and voted on by the people.  That Obama plans to control the schools, energy production, the environment, healthcare, and the wealth of every US citizen. Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America." 

11.What if I were to tell you that the president, the courts, and the federal government have ignored the US Constitution and have seized powers which the founders of our country fought to restrict.  That our last presidential election may have been our last truly free election for some time to come. That our next presidential election may look similar to the one recently held in Iran. (And may be under the review of A.C.O.R.N.) I know, I know what you will say. That will never happen in America! 

If we don't do everything in our power to stop this madness in 2010, may God have mercy on our souls.  

Please pass this on to every freedom-loving American you know. Thank you.

The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER

Call For Informants: If You Oppose Obamacare, Even in ‘Casual Conversation,’ the White House Wants to Know About It

Posted by Jeff Emanuel (Profile)

Tuesday, August 4th at 1:45PM EDT

If you see anybody publicly opposing President Obama’s plan to implement a government-centric overhaul of the health care system, the White House wants you to report that person (or persons) ASAP.

From the White House website:

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

Emphasis added. Of course, as we’ve seen in the health care debate to date, the term “disinformation” is used by the Obama White House as a catchall to describe any opposition to the President’s push for single-payer, government-run health care — meaning the White House wants to be informed of any forwarded emails or blog posts or any “casual conversations” that could be taken as opposition to their health care overhaul plan.

The White House has, as yet, offered no explanation of what it is they plan to do with the tips on policy opposition they hope to receive from citizen informers.

Interestingly, as Jake Tapper pointed out on Twitter this morning, the title of that post on the White House is a quote from John Adams’ 1770 “Argument in Defense of the Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials.”

Can anyone tell me why I was forced to change my password to log in?

Pacifism is a luxury bought with the blood of the valorous

Today CNN's Rick Sanchez was discussing North Korea and the release of the two journalist who have been held hostage.

Unbelievably, but understandingly, the two liberals Sanchez interviewed regarding North Korea, Jill Dougherty, CNN's Foreign Affairs Correspondent, and Evans Revere, President, Korea Society, minimized the brutality in that country.

Here are excerpts from the transcript:

SANCHEZ: Now on the other question that we were talking with Evans Revere about. Why do they, as an American, who just watches from an outside, not an insider like you who studied this, why do they continue to act like a rogue nation?

DOUGHERTY: You know Rick, I have been to North Korea and it seems to me that when you try to put yourself in their shoes, you kind of understand some of the paranoia that they have. They are pretty much paranoid about the outside world. They believe that other countries, specifically the United States, want to destroy them. They also know that there is money to be made in doing the things that they do, selling weapons, selling nuclear technology, et cetera. And they are desperate for money they will do anything, sell anything to survive. To them, it seems rational. To us it seems like rogue nation, but it's business as usual. That's what they do to survive.

SANCHEZ: Evans, I'm going to give you the invitation now to give us a little bit of the gore that you teased us with moments ago with obviously not being too crazy, because there might be some people having a late lunch or an early dinner. But are the stories that we hear about the atrocities that take place in that country true or confirmable?

DOUGHERTY: Well, there are ... oh, I'm sorry.

SANCHEZ: Either way. I know both of you...

REVERE: Go ahead, Jill and I will follow up.

SANCHEZ: Jill, why don't you start with this?

DOUGHERTY: From the observation that I have and from what I've seen, there is of course -- there are people who are very hungry in that country. There are people who are abused. There are people who are in prison and there are definite violations of human rights according to the reports that we have. But there are a lot of different reports and some of those may or may not be true. But you would have to say that it is a very controlled society. And that repression is used to keep people in line.

SANCHEZ: Draw a picture for us, if you would, Evans.

REVERE: Just to add to that, I think what Jill has said is right on the mark. There have been lots of reports, books, articles and confessionals, if you will, provided by defectors who have come out of the North and these convey some very horrific tales.

Once again, sometimes there can be some exaggerations, but the overall message, the overall picture that's been drawn, is one that is very similar to the picture that Jill just described. It is a very closed, it's a very secretive, it's a very fearful and I think the word paranoid is probably an accurate word to use.

And if you look at their behavior, a lot of their behavior can be described as the actions and the statements and the policies not of a strong country but of a fragile one and a country that fears that it may not be able to exist. So a lot of their actions have a certain internal logic. It is not a logic that we like or feel comfortable with but it's a logic that allows them to survive through some of the mechanisms that Jill just described.

--------------------------------------------

Isn't it strange that no one mentioned that North Korea is a communist country?
