I thought my fellow NB'ers might enjoy this.  I found it while reading about my Gators...they're done with two-a-day practices, and most of the players' favorite activity is sleep...but not David Nelson:

Wide receiver David Nelson — another fifth-year senior — noted, to each his own.

“There are a lot of things to do,” he said. “The X-box games are real popular, but it just depends. Me personally, I’m almost always in the training room. I’m always trying to keep my legs fresh so I can keep up with these 17- and 18-year-olds. Heck, I’m 23."

That made my day.

I hope he fails, too.

...and so do most of the other conservative hosts.

The Democrats are now so cocky that they are revealing their true selves to such a degree that it is obvious to everyone. And since there is a "civil war" going on in liberal circles, the MSM is taking sides and revealing even more as they try to defeat their opponents in the opposing liberal camps.

It is now so obvious that almost no one can miss it. Let's hope it continues on until next November. I'm not sure I can take it that long, but for the good of the conservative cause I will suffer the frustration.

Back in grade school, it was pretty obvious, wasn't it? Your freedom simply came with being American. The only way you could lose your freedom is if some foreign enemy came in and captured Washington. Since we had the Soviets to worry about, who were happy to invade countries that disagreed with them, it was only natural for us to assume that foreign invasion was how we might lose our freedom.

But now we now it's not the comic book villain who takes our freedom. It's us. We give it away, without realizing that we're doing it. Instead of dealing with problems ourselves, or through the free market, we just step aside and let government do it. Or, more to the point, we don't actively resist when politicians make sweeping promises of fixing problems. Classic example: I watched a replay of Chuck Schumer and Orrin Hatch on Meet the Press yesterday. Both made the same assumption:

• healthcare is a big problem,
• healthcare is an important problem, therefore ...
• government must get involved

Hatch made a few conservative-sounding arguments, but then he offered the telltale giveaway: of course, we Republicans agree it's a problem, but the GOP "solutions" will be different. He bought the central premise that government is entitled to "solve" every problem. And if you read this and think, "well, that ship has sailed; government already took the power and there's nothing we can do about it," then that's exactly what I mean. You've conceded your freedom rather than confront politicians who make sweeping campaign promises to fix everything.

The good news, of course, is that America is instinctively rejecting the idea that they should surrender so much to Obama so he can fix everything. That's great to see.

And now today's daily BIZARRO OBAMARRO NEWS...

Publicity junkie and family projector has spoken:

OBAMA TO COUNTRY: "LEAVE ME ALONE"

Which is an odd coincidence because...

COUNTRY TO OBAMA: LEAVE US ALONE

Thanks Barack! You've done more to promote conservatism than any president since Ronald Reagan (PBUH).

Does anyone else see the reason that most of Obama's appointed position needing congressional approval are unfilled? Don't worry, the czars will fill in -- un-Confirmed I might add.

               The main stream media is why. Everywhere you turned, it was obama this & obama that. I didn't vote for the arogant ass.  The MSM should be put on trial for treason. They were bought by the Democrats, just as if they were selling their votes. I don't like the Republicans, but I hate the Democrats. The "cash for clunkers" was a joke. They should have put all that money into solar panels for the people. So much for going green.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Rush calling it 'Marxist Vineyard', obviously because it is the playground of the limousine liberal set. Catchy.

The real reason?  No one ever wants to be the person who always has to say..'I told you so' when we know that what we told everybody was going to be the absolute worst thing that could happen.  Well, the election of Obama is just that. 

This Chicago thug and his thugocracy is even stunning the heretofore blind on the left.  Even they have to admit they didn't think he would go this far.  But, once again, he is a CHICAGO politician.  What did they think they were getting?  A scorpion will always be a scorpion no matter how nice it acts.

Now, we have 3.5 years left of this shyster who really doesn't have a clue as to what the hell is going on.  Emmanuel,  Gibbs, the whole damn bunch are complicit.  There will be a price to pay.  The SRM is already paying the price.  As more and more newspapers go out of business it just may finally dawn on them what they have wrought on the American public.  Too late for them too.

2010 will have to put an end to it.  If not, we certainly will face a societal meltdown not seen in this country for 148 years. The next break, I believe will be permanent.  The left will have succeeded in the total Balkanization of America.  Maybe it was always meant to be this way.  People are angry, as angry as I ever remember folks being.  Worse then the early 60's.  We'll see.  Adios.

Texas Governor Rick Perry: Sarah Palin Is The Face Of
America

A really good inteview from the WSJ:

http://thespeechatimeforchoosing.wordpress.com/2009/08/24/texas-governor-rick-perry-sarah-palin-is-the-face-of-america/

Michelle Malkin has accumulated the goods.

Essentially it boils down to this.

The despicable terrorist defender (al-kayada and FLNA) Holder and his lacky (that would be the President, it pains me to say)...

are plotting to destroy forever the ability of US intelligence agencies to defend America. This will be an impeachable offense when the US is hit again. Yes, WHEN, not if.

Panetta is on the ledge, ready to jump, apparently.

Read the disgusting spectacle when people who should be under investigation are directing policy.

Panetta is finding out, like Hillary, that he is a mere public figurehead with little power, while shadowy hard-left figures, unconfirmed by Congress, call the shots.

Thanks Barack! You've done more to promote conservatism than any president since Ronald Reagan (PBUH).

Americans are the most ignorant bunch of idiots that I know.  Even the Iranians are aware of their evil rulers and would do something about it - well, they have done something and got quashed for doing it.

It is amazing that the Leftists that I know have no idea what they're talking about.  When asked exactly why they hate Bush and Cheney all they can do is parrot the media's and Left's Chanting Points.  When asked what's so great about Hussein and they have NOTHING!  When asked if they know about Hussein's Marxist/Socialist past and current goals they stare blankly.  Just try and debate logically with any Leftist turd and see how little they actually know.  It hard discussing politics with totally brainwashed idiots.

That's why I'm so angry.  Ignorance.  Suffering stupid fools.

Why are the Leftist Americans so angry?  Because I think they now realize that THEY are the problem.

This was sent to me by a friend in Bozeman , MT who was there.

(Why are we tolerating this?)

Hello All, By now you have probably heard that President Obama came to Montana last Friday. However, there are many things that the major news has not covered. I feel that since Bill and I live here and we were at the airport on Friday I should share some facts with you. Whatever you decide to do with the information is up to you. If you chose to share this email with others I do ask that you DELETE my email address before you forward this on. On Wednesday, August 5th it was announced locally that the President would be coming here. There are many groups here that are against his healthcare and huge spending so those groups began talking and deciding on what they were going to do. The White House would not release ANY details other than the date. On about Tuesday Bill found out that they would be holding the "Town Hall" at the airport. (This is only because Bill knows EVERYONE at the airport) Our airport is actually located outside of Belgrade (tiny town) in a very remote location. Nothing is around there. They chose to use a hangar that is the most remotely located hangar. You could not pick a more remote location, and you can not get to it easily. It is totally secluded from the public. FYI: We have many areas in Belgrade and Bozeman which could have held a large amount of folks with sufficient parking. (gymnasiums/auditoriums). All of which have chairs and tables, and would not have to be SHIPPED IN!! $$$$$ During the week, cargo by the TONS was being shipped in constantly. Airport employees could not believe how it just kept coming. Though it was our President coming several expressed how excessive it was, especially during a recession. $$$$$ Late Tuesday/early Wednesday the 12th, they said that tickets would be handed out on Thursday 9am at two locations and the president would be arriving around 12:30 Friday. Thursday morning about 600 tickets were passed out. However, 1500 were printed at a Local printing shop per White House request. Hmmmm......900 tickets just DISAPPEARED. This same morning someone called into the radio from the local UPS branch and said that THOUSANDS of Dollars of Lobster were shipped in for Obama. Montana has some of the best beef in the nation!!! And it would have been really wonderful to help out the local economy. Anyone heard of the Recession?? Just think...with all of the traveling the White House is doing. $$$$$ One can only imagine what else we are paying for. On Friday Bill and I got out to the airport about 10:45am. The groups that wanted to protest Obama's spending and healthcare had gotten a permit to protest and that area was roped off. But that was not to be. A large bus carrying SEIU (Service Employees International Union) members drove up onto the area (illegal)and unloaded right there. It was quite a commotion and there were specifically 2 SEIU men trying to make trouble and start a fight. Police did get involved and arrested the one man but they said they did not have the manpower to remove the SEIU crowd. The SEIU crowd was very organized and young. About 99% were under the age of 30 and they were not locals! They had bullhorns and PROFESSIONALLY made signs. Some even wore preprinted T-shirts. Oh, and Planned Parenthood folks were with them.....professing abortion rights with their T-shirts and preprinted signs. (BTW, all these folks did have a permit to protest in ANOTHER area) Those against healthcare/spending moved away from the SEIU crowd to avoid confrontation. They were orderly and respectful. Even though SEIU kept coming over and walking through, continuing to be very intimidating and aggressive at the direction of the one SEIU man. So we had Montana folks from ALL OVER the state with their homemade signs and their DOGS with homemade signs. We had cowboys, nurses, doctors you name it. There was even a guy from Texas who had been driving through. He found out about the occasion, went to the store, made a sign, and came to protest. If you are wondering about the press.....Well, all of the major networks were over by that remote hangar I mentioned. They were conveniently parked on the other side of the buildings FAR away. None of these crowds were even visible to them. I have my doubts that they knew anything about the crowds. We did have some local news media around us from this state and Idaho . Speaking of the local media...they were invited. However, all questions were to be turned into the White House in advance of the event. Wouldn't want anyone to have to think off the top of their head. It was very obvious that it was meant to be totally controlled by the White House. Everything was orchestrated down to the last detail to make it appear that Montana is just crazy for Obama and government healthcare. Even those people that talked about their insurance woes........the White House called our local HRDC (Human Resource and Development Committee) and asked for names. Then the White House asked those folks to come. Smoke and mirrors...EVERYTHING was staged!!!!!!!!!!! I am very dismayed about what I learned about our current White House. The amount of control and manipulation was unbelievable. I felt I was not living in the United States of America , more like the USSR !! I was physically nauseous. Bill and I have been around when Presidents or Heads of State visit. It has NEVER been like this. I am truly very frightened for our country. America needs your prayers and your voices. If you care about our country please get involved. Know the issues. And let Congress hear your voices again and again!! If they are willing to put forth so much effort to BULLY a small town one can only imagine what is going on in Washington DC . Scary!!

Name Removed

Bozeman , Montana

I wrote to him in disgust, over his yellow-bellied tactic of NOT holding a regular Town Hall meeting.

Here is the disgusting and lily-livered response I just received:

Dear Friend,

 

I am committed to hearing from as many constituents as possible on the critical issue of health care reform. I understand you are interested in this topic, and I would like to personally invite you to participate in my health care telephone town hall this week. On this call, families from across the 22nd District will be able to exchange ideas and ask questions about health care reform. The health care telephone town hall will be Wednesday, August, 26 at 7:50 PM. If you would like to participate, please email FL22.town.hall@mail.house.gov with the best phone number to reach you, and you will receive a call at that time. 

 

I hope you will participate in my telephone town hall meeting on health care. Simply email us your phone number, and we will call you to join a live, toll-free telephone town hall on the evening of August 26. I look forward to hearing from you!

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Ron Klein

Why bother?  I'm sure my name and e-mail is in the "do not ask" pile already.

In this instance, my tag applies to my critter.

I hope he fails, too.

Help's on the way...but please report your issues here.

Thanks.

I hope he fails, too.

Here's an all too familiar example of the utter contempt that bastion of ANGRY WHITE SOCIALISTS (New York Times) has for unbiased reporting without adding their own putrid brand of sanctimonious humbug.

It's all to do with Presidential vacations and unemployment figures.

From today's WSJ, Best of the Web

Here's a blast from the past. The New York Times, July 9, 2001, reports on George W. Bush's first summer vacation as president:

"On Friday, as new unemployment figures painted a newly troubling portrait of the American economy, Mr. Bush placed himself in the same scenes--golfing and fishing in a New England paradise--that once caused his father electoral grief.

Simply amazing.

Here's the Bureau of Labor Statistics report, dated July 6, that "painted a newly troubling portrait of the American economy":

The unemployment rate was little changed at 4.5 percent, five-tenths of a percentage point higher than the average for 2000.

As Barack Obama embarked on his first summer vacation as president last week--also in a "New England paradise," Martha's Vineyard--the most recent unemployment rate was 9.4%, more than double the summer 2001 figure.

Covering the Obama jaunt, the Times offers no hint that there's anything wrong with a president taking a vacation during a time of genuine crisis. Indeed, it offers this justification:

Mr. Obama, whom aides described as being amused by all of the gloom-and-doom prognosticating over his health care agenda, did not even consider skipping his vacation. Last year, he talked about the importance of taking a break to avoid "making mistakes."

That makes sense--and in any case, it's not as if the president actually escapes his responsibilities when he goes on "vacation."

But the Times's coverage of Obama is a useful contrast to the paper's petty partisan sniping against Bush.

Thanks Barack! You've done more to promote conservatism than any president since Ronald Reagan (PBUH).

Goodl Lord, the insipid Judith Miller is on Hannity's panel tonight. I can't imagine putting up with that voice for longer than a few minutes.

I want to participate in the Cash for Clunker program. I have a 1961 Obama (Kenyan model). On the exterior everything looks fine, sounds great. But inside it is all fake- nothing is real.

The worst part is everytime I drive it, it makes a hard left and goes off a cliff

Does this qualify for C4C?
