I did not watch the debate last night.  Instead, I sat out on my back porch, sipped a fine white port, and listened to it rain.  Actually, the rain made a whole lot more sense than anything I've ever heard the Dems dribble on about and it's soothing to boot!

HelenS,

It rained really hard here in Atlanta for several hours last night during and after the dem debate. I remember thinking that there must be some correlation between the rain and the debate, as I was working on a coctail or two myself.

So I guess KO will have a another special comment tonight about how the Bush admin., plotted the carbomb in London this morning to overshadow the fabulous Dem. debate last night.

Democrat Debate?

LOL!  Democrats having a debate?  I think not.  Did anyone hear these "liberals" (SOCIALISTS) mention our security at ALL?  Nope.  It was every old play in the book.  Keepin the black man down.  Black black black  NO needs to be paved.  NEEEEXT!  It was more like a contest to see who can out socialize the other.  Pathetic and Scary.  Brought to us by PBS...  yawn.  I'm surprised they didn't have their typical "pleaaaaase give us your money!  Pleeeeeeeeeeeease!"  At least the people at PBS have the courtisy to ASK for it.  Although, maybe thats a  moot point due to the fact that their network is funded by tax dollars I did not wish to give for it...  The Irony. 

I watched about five minutes....

Wiki scoops all, in a case

Wiki scoops all, in a case that's grown more and more surreal... But it looks like authorities finally might be taking the drug angle seriously, since they raided his doc yesterday. Needless to say, we're still in the dark on what drug/dosage/doctor was involved in the VA Tech massacre, weeks and weeks later. I therefore still have no idea if the deafening media silence WRT drug/dosage/doctor was bought with constant Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra commercials. Now we get to see just how much political clout Vince MacMahon has...

The Case for RAGE and RETRIBUTION

Well I think we'll see whats up come November, '08.  People who care about the continued existence of the United States will come out in droves and elect the strongest person for the job.  And from what I can see, there's no one on the democratic ticket that's up to the challenge.  They can't even debate on FoxNews!!!  It should be all over, finished, done for the Democrats.  They are weak, witless cowards.  America is strong because of the courage, sacrifice, and hard work of the people who care about her...and we're still here.

Don't forget the cowards of t

Don't forget the cowards of the msm (Lsm) who have the demolib agenda as their own "talking points", who don't know how to report, but only pass-along and push the lib agenda - they don't have the sense nor morals that they were born with, and can only "rip and read" what other propagandists have written.

&quot;During World War II, Jo

"During World War II, John Kennedy wrote home to his parents from the Pacific. He remarked that Americans are at their best during very good times or very bad times; the in-between periods, he thought, cause them trouble. I'm not sure that is true. Good times sometimes have a tendency to make Americans squalid. The worst times, as we see, separate the civilized of the world from the uncivilized. This is the moment of clarity. Let the civilized toughen up, and let the uncivilized take their chances in the game they started. " - seems to be the most telling of conclusions - if the reference to "squalid" means how the demolibs react to good times, then . . .

George Bush will not be remembered as one of the greatest Presidents in history, but I believe the biggest accomplishments he has done for conservatives would have to be Roberts and Alito. The high court without a doubt has moved to the right

I am kind of surprised that I agree with 2 of their major decisions. The first is the ban of partial birth abortion and the second is making a dent to affirmative action. How the Dems could defend this racist rule is beyond stupid. Having a chance to go to school based the color of your skin is beyond ridiculus. Kudos to the high court yesterday

The only good thing Bush di

The only good thing Bush did was appoint Alito and Roberts. Too bad he almost screwed that up too with Myers.

I am really, really pissed right now. I stood by that jerk, supporting and defending him over the last few years despite his countless screw ups. And how does he decide to show his appreciation? By spending what little political capital he has left on furthering the agendas of Teddy "Pass the Scotch" Kennedy and "Horrible" Harry Reid.

He tried to force the POS immigration reform bill down our throat. He didn't spend his political capital on any of the conservative agenda items he promised such as social security reform. Nope. So today here is a big F U to Mr. Bush.

Enjoy your humble pie.

If I voted for the decider, I would feel pretty betrayed as well. I would not doubt it if his approval rating fell under 20% maybe before the summer is out.

Many years ago I had a professor who said that "history is never written on the day or the month or the year that it happens. It is only written many years later and after all the politics is filtered out and only the facts remain."

Too many times history reverses the intial judgement of political figures many years later. Gerald Ford being the latest. I think we may be surprised how history eventually does judge George W. Bush as well as Bill Clinton (maybe not him).

Now that the Fairness Doctrine vote has been taken, it's interesting what role America's influence played. People are not stupid, the same sector the dems were attempting to firewall was the one which was providing the perspective we were not permitted to hear.

DemDebate

You won't see much about it either.  MSM realizes this debate was strictly for the consumption of Americans of "a certain persuasion" in an attempt to keep them happy on the Plantation.

You couldn't watch this debate without being sickened by the contempt Democrats hold for Black Americans.  Dems lost their bid to keep Blacks at the back of the bus, at separate fountains and restrooms.  What they have going for them now is "I'll protect you from those evil Republicans who took away your private restrooms".

You would think we were back to cutting the Menendez brothers some slack because they are orphans.

Double post

This was sent to me. I thought I'd share:

This morning, I was in a huge hurry and on my way to work.  I was preoccupied with what my day held and I rear-ended a car at a stop light because I was not really paying attention. I had hot coffee in my lap and I was running late. 
 
"Great, just great", I moaned. 
 
The driver opened his door........leaned out of his car and stared at  me. 
He got out (HE WAS A DWARF) studied the damage on his bumper, and 
walked towards me as I rolled down my window.  

He said, "I'm not happy"... 

To which I replied, "Well..... which one are you then?"

Funny email I received this m

Funny email I received this morning I thought I would share with all of you:

Here's a quote from a government employee who witnessed a recent interaction between an elderly woman and an antiwar protester in a Metro station in DC There were protesters on the train platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of America.

I politely declined to take one. An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young (20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined. The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, 'Lady, don't you care about the children of Iraq ?'

The old woman looked up at her and said, 'Honey, my father died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea , and a son in Vietnam!!! All three died so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth our country. If you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it.'

Help Fred Thompson defeat the RINOs along with the Hitllary/Obama axis & win the White House in '08.
