Something I’ve noticed from reading through some liberal forums and news reports, and from hearing statements from the Democratic leadership: Liberals think birthers are mainstream Republicans and those taking part in tax and health care reform protests are the fringe.
I’m here to tell you that they have it backwards – in more ways than one. While I don’t agree with how things have escalated recently at some of these meetings, that should serve as proof of how vehemently the Obama administration’s policies are opposed.
Just a tip for the President and his yes men: If you stop payment on the bloated and ineffective stimulus package and provide entrepreneurs the opportunity to build small business without taxing them to death, all of those people with the time on their hands to protest would be at work instead… where their insurance would likely be covered by the employer.
So tell me how government-run health care is going to work when the government has trouble managing a smaller program like cash for clunkers? Did you hear that the cash for clunkers program is being suspended because they didn’t anticipate that people would actually use it?

Absolute power doesn’t only corrupt, it seems to drop the person’s IQ by 100 points. Hey Congress, SLOW DOWN!
This was sent to me via email and I thought I’d pass it along. I don’t agree with every line of the thing but didn’t want to edit someone else’s work. Without further ado…

Does anyone else feel like we traded a true commander-in-chief for a CEO? And not a very good one at that?
I’m as conservative as ever, but not totally reliable when it comes to blog updates! I finally got my employment situation resolved and have nothing to feel guilty about spending time surfing and posting. Not that I can promise daily updates. I have a couple of posts planned though so stay tuned for a few days at least!
My daily routine these days is to work from 8AM to 5PM, hop in my car and drive home, eat some dinner while watching the rest of ‘The Factor’ with Bill O’Reilly followed by a full uninterrupted hour of Sean Hannity’s TV show, uniquely named ‘Hannity’.
As much as I enjoy hearing editorial from right leaning talk show hosts (all the way tipped over in Sean’s case), I have to admit to getting bored at times listening to the same phrases and talking points from Mr. Hannity. So, in good fun, I present my Sean Hannity drinking game.
1. If Sean says something is ‘unbelievable’, take a drink.
2. If Sean mentions his Hummer Hybrid, take a drink. If followed up by, “It’s the best car/SUV I’ve ever owned,” take another.
3. If Sean says, “unrepentant terrorist” and “Bill Ayers” in the same sentence, take a drink.
4. If Sean says, “chickens have come home to roost” in reference to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, take a drink.
5. When Sean is introducing the “Great American Panel” take a drink for every “great” Sean utters.
6. Take a drink if Sean picks up and throws a Nerf ball before a commercial break.
7. If Sean says, “Let not your heart be troubled” in reference to the afore-mentioned “Great American Panel” take a drink. If the saying is in regards to introducing Greta Van Susteren, take two.
Good luck not passing out after playing this game. If you have other entries, feel free to add them in the comments.
I’d like to take a moment to speak with those of you so upset about your presidential choices that you have decided to not vote. I’ve got to be frank. That’s a cop out. While I respect your right to vote or not vote (you are an American citizen, right?), you have to know that for each one of you that holds back your vote for John McCain, there are others being actively courted by ACORN to register and vote for Barack Obama. While they publicly deny any partisan affiliation, what goes on behind the scenes is far different.
Sure, I don’t agree with John McCain on every talking point. But I don’t have to. It’s not a matter of whether I agree with the man 100%. It does matter who gets to make the next supreme court appointments. It does matter that the executive and legislative branches of government don’t get to form an unholy trinity with said supreme court and allow a system of rubber stamp bill signings and liberal bench decisions that throw our country into a further economic and social tailspin. It does matter that we get to keep our current freedoms – speech, religion, and the right to bear arms, just to name a few.
With John McCain, we can be sure that any supreme court justice he may get to appoint will be qualified and fair-minded. With John McCain, there will be checks and balances in the 3 pillars of government, and our personal freedoms will be guaranteed.
We’re all hungry for change, but you’ve got to know that sitting idly by while others make the decision for you is not the answer. By doing so, the vote you don’t cast for John McCain IS being cast for Barack Obama. It may not taste very good, but it’s better than the poisonous alternative. It’s time to make a stand, not sit on the sidelines. Your hand may shake, your heart may sink, but you have to complete that arrow for John McCain.
In all sincerity, the entire nation is counting on you to do the right thing.
Wow, heck of an interview with John McCain and Sarah Palin. What’s with the question, “Do you consider bombing an abortion clinic a terrorist act?”
Granted, the Maverickette could’ve answered the question better, but Williams shouldn’t have asked it in the first place. What sane, impartial ‘journalist’ would ask such a thing? That’s the rub… not one.
Is Williams really trying to find some moral equivalency between the Bill Ayers bombings of public buildings and that of an abortion clinic? Okay. I’ll agree to the supposition (though I think there is a difference). Suppose they are the moral equivalent, would the main stream media be attempting to sweep under the rug the fact that John McCain seemed to approve enough of a former abortion clinic bomber to have a political fundraiser hosted in the bomber’s home, serve on an 8-person board with him and even write a forward in the bomber’s book?
Can you honestly say the media would not be hounding the crap out of McCain AND the bomber over the link? Instead, the shoe is on the left foot and the matter is suddenly off limits. I’m having a really hard time believing people are ready to trust this Obama guy.
Can you believe presidential hopeful Barack Obama turned down an offer from Lindsay Lohan to host some events for younger voters? Apparently, his camp thinks she is too controversial. Is it the drunken binges, promiscuous behavior or the fact that she is dating a girl?
According to the article, “…a top source in the Barack Obama team tells me the actress ”is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us.”
Given Lohan’s past problems, plus ongoing brushes with controversy, I’ve learned the campaign quietly told the actress ”thanks, but no thanks,” but in far more diplomatic terms.”
When you add in the fact that Obama is on record as saying he would not repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on his own, I think he might be someone who is afraid of ‘the gays’. Okay, that’s not entirely accurate of me, but it doesn’t seem to bother the Hollywood left when they do it, I don’t feel so bad about exaggerating things a bit myself. He’s also quoted as saying, “My first obligation as the president is to make sure that I keep the American people safe and that our military is functioning effectively.” That politician talk means that he realizes if his advisers say it’s probably a bad idea, that he will drop the matter.
Personally, I have a few lesbian friends that happen to own a few handguns, rifles, etc. I’ll just say I would trust them to watch my back more than I would Sen. Obama any day of the week.
I am under 45 years old,
I love the outdoors,
I hunt,
I am a Republican reformer,
I have taken on the Republican Party establishment,
I have many children,
I have a spot on the national ticket as vice president with less than
two years in the governor’s office.
Did you guess?

Watch this…
So they’re talking about Roe v. Wade and John McCain says he’s opposed to the decision and Whoopi takes it to mean he wants to make her a slave? Is that woman insane? Does she have any ability to think things out logically before jumping to a conclusion that is so far out in left field the ball hit a car in the parking lot?
Yeah, Whoopi. That’s EXACTLY what he meant. He wants to make you his slave. Did you get hit on the head? Even Sherry was embarrassed for you. I absolutely LOVE that Whoopi prefaced her question with, “I don’t want to misinterpret what you’re saying.” Hahahaha!
You need therapy.
