Sarkozy stole the election! Send the attorneys! How in the world can anyone on the Right win an actual election????? Fraud! Haliburton! Send the attorneys!
And this got me thinking. We have seen the Left in this country get crazier and crazier in their hatred of America and BDS since the 2000 election. Let's just say a Republican wins the presidency in 2008. And let's just say, Republicans somehow win back at least the House or Senate as well.
What will the Left and the MSM do then? How much crazier will the Far Left get? Will Olbermann's head explode on the air?
George Bush caused the tornado in Kansas! The severe weather was another nefarious plot by the Karl Rove - Dick Cheney Oil-Industrial Complex! They're trying to destroy the ethanol industry so we have to import more oil!
I demand hearings now!
If you're not outraged at the media, you haven't been paying attention.
Peter, Rove is at it again, he's behind this I just know it. He was bored and had nothing to do so Bush sent him over there to influence the French elections. It's a Bush plot so spread conservative (or more conservative) democracy to help in his War of Terror, which is really a plot to take over the world! O.K. enough of channeling Rosie. I am fine now I just had a friend smack me in the head to knock some sense back into my head. J
Don't even think about Olbermoron's head exploding! With all the hot air he has built up, Global Warming would be real if it was all suddenly released. At least with his diatribes, it can only be released a little at a time. It's like the sluice gates on a dam...
I haven't seen this talked about on NB, but I wanted to bring it to someone's attention... since we already know the MSM isn't going to cover a single word on it.
Bush says he'll veto it... which I thank God for.... but what about next year when we have a Democratic president in? What's going to stop this bill from passing then?
Well... that's true. That was quite the definate statement. I should have said, "if we get a Democratic President in".
But still... when you have the entire MSM against you, getting a GOP that's acutally in line with traditional Republican's values in the White House could prove most difficult.
Not sure about Sen Clintons faith, but, the Republicans should use this conservative win as an example during the campaign. "The world is starting to wise up and turn right!"
"There are two types of people in this country; those who provide freedom and those who enjoy it."MM says...
MSM shows more liberal slant by what they do not report on. This bill is a prime example. Last week, before the House voted for it, I sent links to similar stories to everyone I could think of, asking them to write their Congressmen. Most had not heard about it....(Imagine that!)

Just like at a political convention---"Happy Days Are Here Again".
Contrary--do not leave--if everyone here agreed with everyone else--what a bore it would be.
I can't speak foor everyone else, but I enjoy needling other bloggers sometimes. It is one way I use to prevent depression about some issues.
For example--in very recent times (Past 3 weeks or so) I have posted some very important news about illegal immigration. One nibble , nothing else. Today I posted Harry reid's plan to use article 14 to end run the Senate and get an amnesty bill passed. Not a reply. "So have a little faith and hope in what tomorrow brings, you'll reach the stars because there are such things."
contrary - don't take it personal. You can't post something and just expect people to respond. There is a lot of stuff going on and people might not be interested in what you bring up at the moment.
Here's two hilariously stupid comments I found on a website: both are from the spout of Al Gore.
"The Pacific Yew can be cut down and processed to produce a potent chemical, taxol, which offers some promise of curing certain forms of lung, breast, and ovarian cancer in patients who would otherwise quickly die. It seems an easy choice -- sacrifice the tree for a human life -- until one learns that three trees must be destroyed for each patient treated, that only specimens more than a hundred years old contain the potent chemical in their bark, and that there are very few of these yews remaining on earth."
"The theories -- the ideas she expressed about equality of results within legislative bodies and with -- by outcome, by decisions made by legislative bodies, ideas related to proportional voting as a general remedy, not in particular cases where the circumstances make that a feasible idea..."
This method for obtaining taxol is neither commercially or environmentally feasible as six 100 year old trees would only provide enough taxol to treat one person. Total sysnthesis is possible but economically infeasible. Most of the taxol produced today comes from semi-synthesis as it alleviates environmental concerns and requires fewer steps than total synthesis. This method involves isolating 10-deacetylbaccatin from the needles of yew trees, usually T. baccata or T. yunnanensis, which can then be synthesis to taxol. Although the concentration of taxol found in the needles is not nearly as much as that found in the bark it is a renewable resource. Another method of semi-synthesis involves using the leaves from T. baccata to obtain baccatin III, which can then be converted to taxol.
Another argument for a partition-policy instead of whack-a-mole...I wish someone besides libertarian bloggers would look for a moment at obvious incentives and imagine for a moment being a Kurd, a Shiite, or a Sunni. JMR
Once again, the environmentalists are going against the Judeo/Christian belief system. God said, "Be fruitful and multiply".
The environmentalists say:
"HAVING large families should be frowned upon as an environmental misdemeanour in the same way as frequent long-haul flights, driving a big car and failing to reuse plastic bags, says a report to be published today by a green think tank."
This should convince everyone that Evolution is real. The weaker thinkers buy this stuff, don't breed and thereby strengthen the collective gene pool. Beautiful.
Anyone who's been around long enough can attest to the fact that every so many years the enviroweenies come up with the idea that people must stop having "so many" children. Sounds to me like they'd like to go the way of our friends the Chi-Coms. Fine with me if these nutjobs stop reproducing. I have some other ideas re: reducing the population of the left wing lunatic fringe. But it wouldn't be prudent to be specific. ;)
It's my fault the libs want less babies...I starting telling my liberal friends that "my kids will out vote yours!" I guess they realized I was right and now they have a plan.
Anyone check behind this LUNDBERG guy & his survey that says gas prices at highest average ever? Here in Va prices remained near same for 2 months-between $2.80 to $2.90. Last year they were at $3.25 to $3.45. So which states have upped their prices-or did they maybe up their gasoline tax? Don't see how can be such a difference!!
In South Jersey, prices are around $2.79, below where they were this time last year and below the current national average, but they are starting to do the same thing they do every time there is a 'shortage.' Gas taxes are lower in NJ than in neighboring DE or PA which causes NJ gas prices to run about 10-15 cents less than those two states....EXCEPT when there is a 'shortage' then magically, prices jump up to around the same as the neighboring states. I think NJ looks for these shortages for windfall profits. BTW - gas taxes in NJ are the only kind of tax that NJ does not abuse. Just about every other kind of tax we lead the nation.
"You can lead a man to Congress, but you can't make him think." - Milton Berle
Normally, I start these things out by saying "My Fellow Americans."
Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.
I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: there's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.
The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people.
I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.
Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that's despite record numbers of homeowners including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we're mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton administration. I've mentioned all those things before, but it doesn't seem to have sunk in.
Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.
We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this "blood for oil" thing. If I was trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied People Died' crap either. If I was the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty. Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office.
Some guy named 'Clinton' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you?
You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to outspend and out-tech them. That's not the case this time.
The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you. And the bastards are all over the globe. You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that.
When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor'.
Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops. Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dammit, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.
In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol.
I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching. I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.
So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again.
Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.
Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there're just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.
So that's it. God bless what's left of America. Some of you know what I mean.

I was thinking more of the guy who said - "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience [has] shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce [the people] under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." emphasis mine.
There is no sense in being stupid, if you can't prove it! - my dadV
If America survived until the 2008 elections, this speech (and his quitting) would guarantee a Repub Prez, and Repubs back in control of both houses. It would not take long for Pelosi and Co. to destroy America. It just might be the "wake up call" that this Great Country needs!

This is why I do not understand the Gorebots approach to this global warming stuff.
They are going to have a massive worldwide concert event to highlight the seriousness of global warming and then they use a joke band with a joke song to help promote their message.
Sheryl Crow, in her latest HuffPo rant, says we are not taking this seriously enough and then claims her infamous toilet paper and dining sleeve comments were jokes.
Well which is it? Do you they want this to be taken seriously or are they mocking their own 'cause'?
Now, now, you're not being very compassionate - but think what would happen, though I know how it will be spun, if "private" coporations found all these cures, using private money, without the government help, where would these democ-rats jump to?
The spin would be - "but thnk what would happen if we did give them money?"

Today in National Review--"One hand can't clap", by Thomas Smith
A brief excerpt from an article by someone who is in Iraq--
"It was the same everywhere I went. The Iraqis of all stripes, talked — so long as they knew I would not publish their names (to do so would make them and their families a target of the terrorists) — and expressed gratitude toward the Americans and the British. They also expressed a fear based on the antiwar rhetoric from Capitol Hill they read in their own papers."
Where’s the coward that would not dare to fight for such a land? And the parent that wouldn't be honored by the sacrifice?
Thought I would put this in here on open thread, do not know if anyone else has because I haven't read all the open thread, just thought it was interesting from Michael Yon.
I love the dispatches from Michael Yon! They makes me feel that I am right there with them! Thanks for the link as I do not always check his site as often as I should!
"[Just get on with the story, you say! Well this is what it was like sitting on that berm!]"
Michael Yon
Sadly, I post this from FAIR, the DEms are running behind our backs again."Sources on Capitol Hill are reporting that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) will be sending a guest worker amnesty bill straight to the Senate Floor during the week of May 14th. In doing so, Senator Leadership will invoke Senate Rule 14, which allows the Senate to bypass the regular committee process. Such a move would reduce the time opponents have to scrutinize the bill and keep the legislation on a fast track for passage. "
Where’s the coward that would not dare to fight for such a land? And the parent that wouldn't be honored by the sacrifice?
I've heard him a couple of times on tv, and have always been impressed with him. I hope he does well. I still wish Phil Hendrie would come out of retirement. Hendrie was very dangerous for my driving though, because I would be crying laughing so hard I could barely drive.

Then: FORT DIX, N.J. - May 8, 2007 - Six ethnic Albanians have been arrested in a plot to storm the U.S. Army's Fort Dix installation in Burlington County and attack soldiers.

Finally: NJ Terrorists: 6 Terror Suspects Arrested In Fort Dix For Plot To Kill By Mike Baron May 8, 2007
NJ Terror - Six terror suspects were arrested after plotting to kill US soldiers in Fort Dix, NJ.
The terrorist suspects, considered to be "Islamic radicals," were arrested for a death plot against American soldiers. Five of the suspects were arrested in Cherry Hill, NJ, while the other was arrested elsewhere.
The suspects, some of whom were Albanian and the former Yugoslavian, were actually lured in to buy AK47s from an arms dealer, but the arms dealer secretly worked for the FBI and set the suspects up.
According to federal authorities, the terror men wanted to "kill as many soldiers as possible." A Press Conference is said to be taking place later on today. The Post Chronicle
If this wasn't so serious, it would almost be funny. This must be the mentally challenged sect of the jihadists. Let me get this straight; these 6 guys were gonna get AK-47s and attack the home of the 9th infantry division and some 6000 soldiers? Interesting. I guess they don't know that (unlike unarmed civilians) soliders actually shoot back!
"There are two types of people in this country; those who provide freedom and those who enjoy it."MM says...
MM..unfortunately they were probably not going after "armed" targets. Most likely the PX or something like that. Maybe even a Sunday morning chapel service. If they really wanted to "engage" they would be in Iraq.

May 7, 2007 - 10:21 ET by GothampcOnce again, the environmentalists are going against the Judeo/Christian belief system. God said, "Be fruitful and multiply".
The environmentalists say:
"HAVING large families should be frowned upon as an environmental misdemeanour in the same way as frequent long-haul flights, driving a big car and failing to reuse plastic bags, says a report to be published today by a green think tank."

GAS PRICES
May 7, 2007 - 11:12 ET by PawpawNAnyone check behind this LUNDBERG guy & his survey that says gas prices at highest average ever? Here in Va prices remained near same for 2 months-between $2.80 to $2.90. Last year they were at $3.25 to $3.45. So which states have upped their prices-or did they maybe up their gasoline tax? Don't see how can be such a difference!!
In South Jersey, prices are a
May 7, 2007 - 11:26 ET by SouthJersey1953In South Jersey, prices are around $2.79, below where they were this time last year and below the current national average, but they are starting to do the same thing they do every time there is a 'shortage.' Gas taxes are lower in NJ than in neighboring DE or PA which causes NJ gas prices to run about 10-15 cents less than those two states....EXCEPT when there is a 'shortage' then magically, prices jump up to around the same as the neighboring states. I think NJ looks for these shortages for windfall profits. BTW - gas taxes in NJ are the only kind of tax that NJ does not abuse. Just about every other kind of tax we lead the nation.

But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce [the people] under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." emphasis mine.

A brief excerpt from an article by someone who is in Iraq--
"It was the same everywhere I went. The Iraqis of all stripes, talked — so long as they knew I would not publish their names (to do so would make them and their families a target of the terrorists) — and expressed gratitude toward the Americans and the British. They also expressed a fear based on the antiwar rhetoric from Capitol Hill they read in their own papers."

In doing so, Senator Leadership will invoke Senate Rule 14, which allows the Senate to bypass the regular committee process. Such a move would reduce the time opponents have to scrutinize the bill and keep the legislation on a fast track for passage. "

-
Men and women so sincere
Holding a country near and dear
Going to fight when fight's the game
To keep things at home the same.
-
Willing to spend their life's breath
To protect others from imminent death
Off to a strange and violent land
A place where much of it is sand
-
watching their friends spend their blood
To keep us home from the flood
Of those who would do us hurt
Who think of us as dirt
-
Oh you brave boys and girls
Some so young, just out of curls
Thank you for all that you endure
To keep this blessed land so pure
-
And as you go through the night
I pray that God with all his might
Wiil steady your hand and keep you brave
And return you home to the land you save.

NJ Terror - Six terror suspects were arrested after plotting to kill US soldiers in Fort Dix, NJ.
The terrorist suspects, considered to be "Islamic radicals," were arrested for a death plot against American soldiers. Five of the suspects were arrested in Cherry Hill, NJ, while the other was arrested elsewhere.
The suspects, some of whom were Albanian and the former Yugoslavian, were actually lured in to buy AK47s from an arms dealer, but the arms dealer secretly worked for the FBI and set the suspects up.
According to federal authorities, the terror men wanted to "kill as many soldiers as possible." A Press Conference is said to be taking place later on today. The Post Chronicle
