Bailout

Bravo to the Senate for striking down a bill that wouldn't have done anything whatsoever to fix the ailing auto industry. Mitt Romney's op/ed in the NY Times last month hit the nail right on the head: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/19/opinion/19romney.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=mitt%20romney&st=cse. Let Detroit go bankrupt! The US auto industry is so broken it needs to be stripped down the rest of the way and rebuilt if there is to be any hope of viability in the future.

Duh to these moron UAW workers who refuse to take a pay-cut to save their jobs, but expect CEO's and the like to not only take a pay-cut but lose their jobs altogether. These working class imbeciles are too uneducated to understand the simple reality that their demand for high wages may very well cost them their jobs. If these hypocrites refuse to concede a few dollars or benefits to help the company stay afloat they are also very much to blame and may be the nail in their company's coffin. Their fate is well deserved.

If the American auto industry has any hope of competing with the rest of the world it's workers must be willing to make less per hour like their counterparts in other countries. This is the only way to compete. The Big 3 have too much overhead, union wages and idiotic govt. regulations are just driving the knife deeper into their hearts. You can't expect everybody else to give a little and you give nothing. Sometimes, to ensure your future you must compromise. These workers need to look at the long term and understand that sometimes in order to live to fight another day, one must sacrifice a limb to survive the fight they're in now. It's a basic tactic taught in any survival handbook. Learn to fight and survive or you will perish.

Un-fricken'-real! I don't think I need to comment on the article I linked to above. If you've heard about this and you've read my blog before you probably have a good idea of what I'd say. However, I can't just put it here without saying something, you know me.

I hope to God that the police track down these bastards and throw them all in prison for 1st degree manslaughter! It's hard to imagine our fellow human beings acting this way. You better enjoy your fu**ing TV's a**holes!!! This young man paid for 'em with his life you fricken' pricks!! These people make me sick. Electric chair. That's all I have to say.

Racism

2008-11-14T15:18:00.006-06:00

This is an interesting FWD I'm sure many of you have read. It claims to be the words of Cosmo Kramer of Seinfeld, but according to Snopes.com it isn't. http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/proudwhite.asp
Nevertheless, it makes a very valid point that I have been saying for a while now. White people seem to be the only racists out there. I violently disagree with that, which is why I'm publishing this FWD to my blog. I thought long and hard about it, and have decided to censor the article at places due to people's sensitivities in this area. I don't think one should have to go that far, but people tend to be a bit limp wristed and cowardly when discussing race these days. So it's for them that I pander and censor my own blog, lest I be labeled "racist". If this offends you, you need to grow a pair!

Some see the truth. Others bury their heads in the sand. I have been wondering about why "Whites" are "Racists" and no other race is. Proud to be White...Michael Richards, better known as Kramer from TV's Seinfeld does make a good point. This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. Someone finally said it...How many are actually paying attention to this?
There are African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Asian-Americans, Arab-Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White Boy,' 'Cr**ker,' 'H**key,' 'Wh**ey,' 'Caveman' ... And that's OK. But when I call you, Ni**er, Towel h**d, Sand- ni**er, Camel J**key, B**ner, G**k, or Ch**k ... you call me a racist. You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you ... so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live? You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have the NAACP. You have BET... If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists. If we had White History Month, we'd be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR, lives we'd be racists. We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce; and, then, we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American Pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America Pageant. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships ... you know we'd be racists. There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US. Yet, if there were 'White Colleges', that would be a racist college. In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists. You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists. Someone from another race can rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white Police Officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist. I am proud ... but you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists??
There is nothing improper about this e-mail. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on. I sadly don't think many will. That's why we have lost most of our RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves!
BE PROUD TO BE WHITE! It's not a crime yet, but getting real close!

Feel free to comment on this one.
I don't care what color you are, be proud to be who and what God made you, for heaven's sake! --Vince

Duh!

OMG! The liberal-leaning "mainstream media in this country is fricken' pathetic. The way they have partnered up with Democrats the past how ever many years is sad enough. So much for being impartial and reporting the "facts". They haven't done that in years. As soon as Sarah Palin was announced by John McCain as his running mate, the libs in the media already had an entire report against her in minutes. Nobody's that fast folks, they'd been scheming against any of his choices for months. Then they attack her with what THEY decided to call Troopergate so as to create a buzzword for every American to remember. However, 9 out of 10 people couldn't actually tell you what it is that she allegedly did. Their allies in the Democrat party shoot them a fallacious story and they don't even bother to investigate it, they just report it! What the heck is that?! What the crap happened to responsible journalism? Of course, Palin was completely cleared of any wrong doing in the matter the night before the election. Convenient.

The latest lie they've happily helped spin was of campaign aides' claims that during debate preparations Palin didn't know Africa was a continent, or which countries comprised NAFTA. Her response: "Those guys are jerks, if they came away with it taking things out of context and then tried to spread something on national news. It is not fair and not right." And as Yahoo! News put it today "Turns out, Palin is right on that score... the whole story was part of an elaborate hoax, and the networks that reported the misinformation have retracted it." Turns out she was right?! What? What do you mean "turns out"? She was "right" from the get go. "Turns out" you fricken' idiots finally reported it "right". OMG, the media is fricken' retarded!

If the Republican party would have gone after Barack Hussein Obama or Hillary Clinton with the same ferocity and virulence they went after Sarah Palin with, the media would have crucified them for their hateful, chauvinistic, racist, close minded and grossly inaccurate portrayal of the candidates. (I wanted to say if the media aligned with the GOP and did all of that, but only an act of God could possibly cause that.)

Last night on the evening news, discussing Barack Hussein Obama's rise to the White House, a "reporter" actually said that Obama had gone through the toughest vetting process there is to get there. Referencing the process by which the congress and media seek to determine whether a candidate should be approved for office. Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines vetting as "to evaluate for possible approval or acceptance <vet the candidates for a position>". He was never vetted by anyone but the conservative media! The liberal, mainstream media gave him a free ride from the very beginning. They never once looked into his background, and quickly rushed to discredit conservatives when we brought up anything questionable. Men of true integrity like Sean Hannity didn't have to dig very deep at all to find out about his friendships with known racists and terrorists that he purposely sought out relationships with. People who have vowed to destroy America and Israel and refuse to recant their views. A preacher who hates the saying "God bless America" so much and the country to which it refers he screamed from his pulpit repeatedly "Not God bless America, God D*** America!!" This isn't just someone Obama knew. This is someone whom he agreed with, loved and respected. He obviously liked what he was hearing on Sunday morning to keep coming back for 20 years! He and his wife had to get up every Sunday morning, get dressed nice, drive to church, sit through an hour sermon, drive home and then do it all over again the next Sunday. And that's the very least, if he isn't involved in his church but for Sunday morning. He even liked Rev. Wright so much he had him baptize his children. He has sought out and sat on boards with Bill Ayers, a terrorist. He is friends with extremely racists Rashid Khalidi and Louis Farrakhan. And this is merely a start. This man should not be president. All I've done was bring up his friends, I don't have anywhere near the time to go into his inexperience, personal beliefs, his working relationship with Acorn, the Black Panthers endorsing him (which he's fine with), and on and on. The info. and evidence is all over the place. When will this country wake up and realize what they've done!? Unbelievable.

The End Is Near

2008-11-05T05:03:00.003-06:00

My fellow Americans, it is with sadness and joy that I write this post to you. Sadness because Obama is our new president, joy because the return of Christ is very near. I believe Obama is God's chosen vessel to bring about the destruction of America. I believe America is the shield that protects Israel and once we have lost our status as a superpower, Israel will be attacked and Armageddon will begin. Obama's policies will not work, they will tear this country down when it is already very weak economically. We cannot survive an Obama presidency. I believe he is the predecessor to the Anti-Christ. If given the opportunity, he will most gladly sign over our sovereignty to the UN, thus forming the one-world government spoken of in Scripture. Obama hates America and Israel. His close friends are anti-American/Israel terrorists, he has said he is a citizen of the world (rather than an American citizen), he hates capitalism and loves socialism. Think long and hard about this. Democrats have all the power now. They now control the Senate, the House and the White House. Very liberal, anti-American Democrats mind you. There is nothing they cannot accomplish now. This is a very sad and frightening day for this country and this world. If you don't personally know Jesus Christ as you Saviour, I highly recommend you get on your knees, confess you're a sinner and ask Him to come into your heart and be you Lord and Saviour. Don't wait, do it now. You are running out of time, the Rapture is not far off now. Read the Gospels and see what all the New Testament has to say about the end of time as we know it and all the events that will occur.

Me, agree with a Democrat?!

2008-10-10T13:07:00.003-05:00

I seldom agree with a Democrat, but when I read this guy's article I couldn't help but agree wholeheartedly with everything he said. It's worth reading. And I definitely believe not everybody should be allowed to vote. There should be a competency test.

Alone no more

2008-10-08T14:17:00.002-05:00

It seems I'm not alone in leaving the Republican Party, nor feeling that my party has left me. Sirius Satellite Radio conservative talk show commentators Mike Church and Andrew Wilkow have as of today officially renounced the Party as well. They, like me, see no difference between McCain and Obama. They will both destroy this country. Neither is better than the other. Donald Trump and Steve Forbes have issued statements claiming if Obama wins "it's over." Meaning he will destroy our economy since he doesn't know crap about economics or wealth. He should read the piece I wrote a few days ago. This country is goin' straight to hell in a hand basket. I feel we are fighting a losing battle, but that's no excuse to give up. If we're goin' down, I'm gonna die with my boots on! Who knows, maybe God will perform a miracle and we'll win. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. My advice to you all is get a wealthy as you can as fast as you can. It's the only way to survive when this economy tanks. Obama will be our next president.

Lies and stupidity

The Huffington Post reported today that Elisabeth Haselbeck "fumbles when asked why Sarah Palin would make a good president." Anyone who reads the story will have a very difficult time understanding what the heck they're talking about. That is because she doesn't "fumble" anything. She does however ask the question that nobody is allowed to ask. If you do you are portrayed as evil and unintelligent, and as someone opposed to "change." Yes, she dared to say "Tell me why Barack Obama is qualified to be President." And that on one of the most liberal TV shows in America. It was in response to liberal nut-job Barbara Walters' attack against her ending in Barbara asking why Palin would make a good president. Read the story here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/01/elisabeth-hasselbeck-fumb_n_130913.html
I think the reasons and facts speak pretty clearly for themselves why Palin could be president, and a darn good one. However, Obama has no experience doing anything of value or substance, kinda like his speeches. Lots of fluff, emotionalism, and energy but absolutely nothing there. Much like some Pentecostal sermons. You walk away having been pumped up emotionally but can't find one tangible thing to cling to.
Now I'm going to really rant and change subjects a bit. Obama's plans don't work either. He clearly doesn't understand economics. A sure-fire recipe for disaster is to give tax breaks/cuts to the poor and middle class. They produce nothing, all they do is consume. The wealthy, who actually produce things, fund and drive our industries and economy are the ones who we NEED to give tax breaks to. It's really not that hard to grasp. If your employer gets a break on his/her taxes he now has more money to invest in his business and make it grow, which translates into making sure you still have a paycheck and sometimes a raise. He can add that new equipment he needs to streamline operations even more and reduce overhead. Besides, how would your life be any better off if we taxed the rich even more? I'll answer that for you. It wouldn't, in fact it would go from bad to much, much worse in a heartbeat. You cannot tax the rich, you can tax the poor. Originally, income taxes were levied in this country against only the rich. The poor and middles class were convinced by some idiots who didn't understand economics to vote for an income tax with which to penalize the wealthy. The wealthy being smarter found ways out of it and the money the government had been stealing from its wealthiest citizens started to dry up. Once the government gets a taste for money it refuses to not be fed. So, they imposed an income tax on the poor and middle class and that is still the way it is today. If you try to tax so-called "big oil," you will actually tax yourself. Every time a tax is levied against the rich they pass it on down to you and make you pay it. Pretty smart! Raise taxes on Mobile by $1.00 a gallon and your gas prices just went up by $1.00! They don't pay the increase YOU DO!! How hard is that to understand? All businesses and industries do this. Raise taxes on your landlord and your rent will jump to compensate. There is a cost to doing business, and business owners have determined how much they need to make (profit) for it to be worth it for them to remain in business. You do the same thing. If your employer said they were only going to pay you $4.00 an hour instead of $10.00 or whatever you'd go somewhere else because you have determined that you need a certain amount of money to survive and make it worth your while to show up for work everyday. Believe me, you want the wealthy to gets the tax breaks.

Well, we now know McCain has picked Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin to be his VP. Interesting pick as well as wise. I would've guessed someone else, someone more liberal or centrist. As those of us paying attention could easily figure out, the minute she was announced on the t.v. they had already started running a load of b.s. in the ticker at the bottom of the screen about her. Obviously it wouldn't have mattered who he picked, they had this type of stuff sitting there waiting to run it on all the potential picks. No reporter can work that fast. Also as obvious, to anyone who knows, there is NO "scandal" nor "investigation" on this woman nor was there ever. That was fabricated by the all powerful media as well. We have come to expect that from those idiots.
The imbecils at Yahoo! News wrote an intersting piece on her today. In it they comment "She [Palin] has more experience catching fish...than dealing with foreign policy or national affairs." Cute, really. Someone please remind me again what experience our Saviour Obama brings to the table? Oh crap, I wasn't supposed to ask that! If you listened to his acceptance speach last night you probably got the same impression that I did. He's actually starting to believe his own b.s.! He seriously came off and said in almost these exact words that when he gets elected he will heal all the worlds' problems, he is the answer to all that ails this nation. Nay, the world! He alone has all the wisdom, he alone has all the answers. If I didn't know better I'd believe like some do that this man is the Anti-Christ! Sure sounds like him.
I take issue with Matthew Staver, dean of Liberty University (a Christian) who said today that "This will absolutely energize McCain's campaign and energize conservatives" (emphasis mine). I happen to be a conservative who is not energized by it. As aren't all my conservative friends. We are still voting Chuck Baldwin.
Democrat moron Chuck Schumer said Palin's "lack of experience makes the thought of her assuming the presidency troubling." What!!! You people just nominated a fricken simpleton with NO experience to be president, not VP but the president himself! Who are you to talk about lack of experience?! OMG! I wonder how many Democrats will even catch that stupidity?
Funny how they can attack the girl and we're supposed to let it slide, but we couldn't attack the girl when it was Hillary because that made us chauvinists! Neither can we attack the blcak guy, cuz that makes us racist pricks! What fricken hipocracy.

Un-fricken-believable!

This weekend a 21 year old woman was stabbed to death in her NYC apartment as her caring neighbors listened to her scream for more than 30 minutes before inconveniencing themselves to call the police. According to police reports these model citizens we'd all like to have living next door assumed the woman had been drinking, and therefore felt no compulsion to act.
I suppose I can totally understand where they're coming from. Last time I heard a drunk person get a little loud I must admit it did sound a bit like a woman getting violently stabbed over a dozen times, screaming and pleading for help. I guess it's just a simple mistake we all could have made.
These people should all be drug out into the street and shot to death by the police for 1st degree murder. They had a responsibility to help her and they did nothing.

I'm sure I'll get some colorful comments on this one, but this is my honest opinion. If you don't like it, don't read this blog.

Explanations...

2008-08-22T13:38:00.007-05:00

Adoring blog fans,
I apologize for causing you so many sleepless nights due to my lack of attention to this blog. After all, it is for you that I log on. It is for you that I labor and toil to bring you the very best the blogosphere has to offer. And for you I would like to provide an explanation as to why I have been absent so long.
I have been without an internet connection for some time, I have also been unable to follow politics closely for a number of months. Have no fear, I am now caught up and have a BlackBerry with which to blog as well.
I have also decided to join the Constitution Party in endorsing Chuck Baldwin for president. http://www.baldwin2008.com/ Also, if I may paraphrase Ronald Regan in saying I haven't left my party, my party has left me. I cannot endorse nor abide by the Republican Party anymore. It cannot be reformed, it must be replaced. Polls show the majority of Americans are in favor of a strong third party. The only one 100% in line with true conservative beliefs and principals is the Constitution Party. It is time to begin again with a newer and better party, one that has not been corrupted with liberalism. I would urge all conservatives to check out their website at: http://www.constitutionparty.com/

2008-02-27T05:41:00.003-06:00

McCain/Feingold; McCain/Kennedy; this guy doesn't just reach across the isle to work on something in a bipartisan manner, he walks over finds himself a chair of his own, puts on the other team's uniform so they can't tell him apart from one of them, and acts just like 'em. Then when he's had his fun, he waltzes back across party lines and tells us what a conservative he is. If Ronald Reagan is a (if not THE) standard by which we may measure all other conservatives, then one must conclude without a doubt that John McCain is certainly a liberal R.I.N.O. There simply is no support for the "idea" that he is a conservative.
This "New Conservatism" makes me sick! People in my own party are trying to redefine conservatism according to their liberal agenda, and thereby rebuild the movement in their own image. Conservatism does not need to change, it works beautifully every time it's truly tried. Stop trying to redefine something you were never meant to be a part of to begin with. If you don't' like it the way it is, who cares!? Go start your own movement, stay the heck out of ours!

2008-02-26T13:27:00.001-06:00

P.S. No matter what kind of BS he tries to feed us, McCain IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE!!

Attention Texas and Ohio voters! Vote for Hillary in the primary. This may be our last chance to help destroy the Democrat party for a while. She's not going to give up what she "deserves" ( the White House) if people support her. Lets do it. Our nominee has already been picked for us by the libs who crossed over to vote "their Republican" in so they could defeat him come November. Lets help fracture the Democrat party and repay the favor.

Wow! What a temper tantrum that Florida student threw Monday at John Kerry's speaking forum. This is a trend that is getting worse and will continue to because of parents, and the kid worship that is going on these days. I know children that get their way every time because their parents give into them each time there's a conflict. They never seem to realize this, but they are the reason this is happening. These kids do something they know they're not supposed to, the parents make a limp wristed attempt to discipline them and all hell breaks loose! The parents refuse to stand together on the discipline strategy and the child knows this so it pushes them further and pits the adults against each other, eventually the kid wins and avoids any real discipline in the process. These parents "talk" to the brat thinking this will somehow curb their bad behavior. When or where and in what universe that has ever been affective is beyond me, but they think, contrary to the overwhelming evidence at hand, that it will work. We have and are continuing to raise a generation of kids that are not disciplined at all. They know what they can get away with thanks to the media and the liberal morons who seek to give them all the power in the world. Kids today know their parents are afraid to spank them or stick them in their rooms because society tells them its illegal or wrong. Their psychological growth is stunted so much that when they want their way as a adult at a public forum, they throw a screaming tantrum until they get tasered! This is all this idiot kid was doing. He went back to the most affective means of getting his way and showing his pitiful emotion he's ever known and acted like a 2 year old! According to the arresting officer, the moment the cameras were off him he was apologizing to them and was completely calm. The minute however, camera crews caught back up with them outside, he started in again! This was nothing more than a publicity stunt akin to throwing oneself on the floor at Wal-mart because mommy won't let him have that toy he demands. This next generation is nothing more than a bunch of childish, immature adult sized 2 year old brats that will never grow up because liberals want to give them more rights than the parents have.
As far as this being a violation of his civil rights, as the Florida ACLU claims, the freedom of speech was never a factor here. The 1st amendment does not give you the right to be heard, nor the right to silence others whom you disagree with. It only allows you the right to speak, this was not the appropriate time and place for such a demonstration as we saw Monday. It would be no different if i went to a concert and decided to grab the mic and take over the show and make it all about me. That's what he did. This was not an exercising of his 1st amendment rights anymore than 9/11 was an exercising of the freedom of religion. Their is little difference if one holds consistently to the liberal's interpretation of the bill of rights. Of course for the liberal there are two sets of rules; the ones they impose on you, and the ones that are for them.

Republican presidential hopeful and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, center, and his wife Judith Giuliani, center left, throw flowers into a reflecting pool at the World Trade Center site, Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2007 in New York City. The ceremony marks the 6th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington D.C.

President Bush did an excellent job addressing the world last night, and telling the Democrats how it's going to be. The troops will have what they need to finish the job regardless of what Dems think. We will not leave our allies, Iraq can count on this. We will see this through until the end, we will help Iraq however we can to ensure peace over there and elsewhere in the world. It is in our interest to have victory in Iraq, contrary to the opinions of some. I thank God for our President, he's a great man, and he cares deeply for our troops. Let's vote another in there in 2008 that will put our military men and women first and not one that is invested in their defeat, using their sacrifice for political gain.

2007-09-13T19:41:00.000-05:00

Now is not the time to falter on the policy our President has set forth for victory in the Global War On Terrorism. Surrender is not an option. Our soldiers deserve to have us backing them not investing in their defeat. Democrats in Congress are proposing to retreat and surrender thus duplicating Vietnam. There are people who hate our brave soldiers and want them to fail. This is not the America we once were. What has happened to the greatest nation on earth? The Hillary Clintons, Harry Reids, and Cindy Sheehans of the world are hoping and fighting for the defeat of our troops. They hate this country with ever fiber of their wretched being. We must stand against them, we must support our President and our troops. Now is the time to be strong and fight for victory, both at home and abroad.
May the Lord our God bless and protect our heroic men and women in the armed forces.

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani blasts Senator Hillary Clinton today for derogatory comments she made about to General Petraeus on Tuesday. He accused her of character assassination and attacking the General's integrity. He also accused Senator Clinton of being linked to the allegedly "independent" MoveOn.org, an extreme Leftist organization from which the Far-Left Dems get their marching orders. Hillary is especially careful to not distance herself from the group, pandering for every vote they can give her.
At the same photo shoot, Mr. Guiliani showed he's not as tight on illegal immigration as he would have us to believe. Responding to a question from a reporter, Giuliani said that illegal immigration is not a crime. "It's up to the U.S. Congress to decide that, and the U.S. law books say that crossing the border without permission is a misdemeanor. Other than that, it's not a crime," he said.
Forgive me Mr. Mayor, but committing a misdemeanor constitutes an illegal act, and as such is a crime. Breaking into someone else's house uninvited and without permission is a crime. Breaking into someone else's country uninvited and without permission is no different, it is also a crime. All who do so should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as should any criminal, and they should be deported as soon as possible. We need to start seeing and treating this problem as a criminal act. Immigrants are welcome, but they must be expected to respect our laws. Anyone of us would be held to no less a standard if we were to enter another country.

Petraeus Responds To Critics

2007-09-13T18:26:00.000-05:00

General Petraeus responded to the National Press Club yesterday about the ad MoveOn.org ran in the NYT. He said he took comfort in Rudyard Kipling's poem "If." Specifically the portion below:
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise

He also stated, "To state the obvious: I disagree with the message of those who are exercising their First Amendment right that generations of soldiers have sought to preserve for Americans. Some of it was just flat, completely wrong, and the rest is at least more than arguable."

A final thought:
You have the right to disagree with him, President Bush, and the war, but don't you ever forget it is the soldier who fights and sometimes dies so you can have that right and express it freely. And all soldiers deserve your admiration and respect.

Senators Call General Petraeus a Liar

2007-09-12T19:00:00.000-05:00

The audacity of the Dems in Congress never ceases to amaze me. How does an elected official (someone who gained their position by convincing people to vote for them) think they have the right to speak to a highly decorated, four-star General in this manner?! Dingy Harry (Reid) said the "situation on the ground in Iraq has not changed at all," which is tantamount to calling the General a liar. Other dems have said they won't believe him no matter what he says because he's just a puppet of the Bush administration. How do you get off talking to a man of such integrity and honor like that? These scumbag Democrats better be thanking God that they live in a country where their freedom to denigrate and spit upon those who have sacrificed to make it such a place allows them such a luxury. How dare you speak to a man who has dedicated his life and risked it for decades in such a manner?! This is the height of arrogance. Hundreds of thousands have died, sacrificed their limbs, and given of themselves so that these ungrateful haters of America have the freedom to spew their hate speech at our president and our leaders, and smear the good name of a great General like Patraeus. I am incensed beyond belief when I hear people speak about our brave, heroic soldiers like this! These people make me sick! Forgive me for the rant and the negativity, but I can't be quiet about something like this.
In related news, MoveOn.org the premier hate site online for the Far-Left ran an ad in the New York Times degrading General Petraeus, calling him a traitor and a liar. Follow this link to view it: http://pol.moveon.org/petraeus.html The nerve of these people.

D. James Kennedy Dead At 76

2007-09-05T19:12:00.002-05:00

All I can say to this is, oh my God. I just heard the news. This is indeed a sad day for America.

Follow this link to WorldNetDaily for the full story:http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=57485
FOX News also has a great article on this:http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2007Sep05/0,4670,ObitKennedy,00.html

I truly, and deeply respect Dr. Kennedy for all the work he has done for this great nation of ours. I consider him one of my theological mentors through his teachings. This world will truly be a darker place without him in it. Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ that our brother is now at His side, where he has long desired to be. For that I rejoice.
Praise God for all that you've done to fulfil His mission Pastor Kennedy. Until we meet face-to-face on that day, enter thy rest my Brother.

Bill Clinton is at it again with his rhetoric, saying how Hillary has been battling the "Republican Attack Machine" for years and winning, and she will continue to do so. Who is the Republican Attack Machine anyway? I still can't figure that out and I'm a Republican! However, I will gladly assume the role if nobody else wants it. Just let me know.

Stepping Right Up!: Overkill

Stepping Right Up!: Overkill

This Just In!

2007-09-05T18:33:00.001-05:00

According to the AP popcorn can cause lung disease! Report shows the dangers of popcorn both to consumers and popcorn factory workers. So-called "popcorn lung" can be fatal. Oh, by the way...only one person is known to have contracted the disease, though hundreds of workers have filed a lawsuit. Go figure.

We are winning in Iraq. As recent data suggests, much to the Democrat's dismay, the surge is working. Kudos to Kimberley Kagan of the Wall Street Journal. In her Op-Ed today she writes, "there is every reason to be optimistic about the prospects for establishing security in Iraq, and every reason to continue supporting the current strategy". Citing many important details and evidences to prove her point, she single-handedly destroys the liberal notion that we are losing and need to surrender. She finishes saying, "Now is not the time to give up the fight".
Well said. I agree.

Man Charged With Assault For Throwing Cheetos At Dad!

Dangerous Iraqi Chemicals Found At U.N.

2007-09-04T18:51:00.000-05:00

Amazing, really. I thought there were no WMD's in Iraq. Hmm....guess there were. I mean if the fact that Saddam used them on his own people wasn't proof enough that is.

http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=topNews&storyid=2007-08-30T170627Z_01_N30440927_RTRUKOC_0_US-UN-CHEMICALS.xml&src=rss&rpc=22&sp=true

2007-09-04T18:33:00.000-05:00

The New York Times on Saturday ran an article about Sen. Larry Craig's restroom incident in which it said Craig's actions reflect badly upon the Republican party. Also, the Times posited that the GOP was rife with ethical problems lately. Essentially they were stating that because a couple of Republicans were screw ups, the whole party is unethical and full of hypocrisy.

Because a few people do things the rest of us don't condone doesn't mean our party is full of hypocrisy. The recent incidents involving moronic Republicans do not in any way reflect upon the the integrity of hundreds of others. How illogical the Dem's are to say something so blatantly stupid. Hillary is as far Left as you can be without falling of the deep end, some of us would say she has. Applying Democrat logic, ALL Democrats (without exception) are far, far Lefties. One bad apple does not always spoil, nor reflect the quality of, the whole bunch. Listen to what the Dem's say long enough and eventually all of it is inaccurate or inconsistent.

I like the video senator McCain put out it really helps me respect him as a person, but that by no means qualifies him to be the president. I still wouldn't vote for him. His views are still not in line with what the president of this great nation ought to be. In case you didn't catch it, you can see it here:

Way to go Mr. Bush. Good call to not bail out the those involved in the mortgage loan crisis. This whole thing was doomed from the start, it has a nice idea to it but is asking for it in the practical sense. A bail out would do nothing but encourage those who cannot afford a home to buy one anyway using this failed method, and just delay the inevitable. We would be right back here in a year or two doing the same thing again. Those investors knew the risk they were taking when they got involved with this in the first place. Investment involves risk. If I lose $ in the stock market or 401k no one's going to bail me out, and they shouldn't. I knew the risk going in.

2007-08-22T19:01:00.000-05:00

Esteemed readership,
Forgive me for my lack of attention to my blog for the last week or so. I was in preparation for last weekend. I went to Promise Keepers in Cincinnati on Fri-Sat and it was awesome. It's good to be around other men who actually want to stand up and be men in this day and age of wussified girly-men. The feminized culture we live in has so denigrated men that we are portrayed on television as bumbling idiots, unable to think without a woman's help, and just all around stupid. What's more, we let this happen! We just sat idly by as the feminazi's just walked all over us on there way to fame. Were we afraid of looking sexist, hurting someones feelings or what? Why should we have cared? God's divine order has been disrupted by our complacency. We are now treated as second class citizens. I guess the fool will say that this is the reverse of what men have done to women for millenia. Not in America we didn't. Those who did were on the fringe of society anyway. I am incensed at the media's portrayal of men these days. We need to stand up and put a stop to these false charges against us. We are not sissies, stupid, etc. The intelligent among us do not want to degrade women, dominate them or otherwise treat them unfairly. The freaks that do ought to be taken care of appropriately. Men should honor women as co-equals with them, take charge of the country, be the providers, priests, and protector's of their families and homes, they should be men. I'm sure someone reading this is going to think I'm some chauvinist pig, but that's alright. They don't have a clue. I just cannot help but go into a tissy when I think about this crap. But as I was saying, PK was awesome! I really learned a lot. I hope I will be a better husband, and man in general because of it.

2007-08-22T18:57:00.000-05:00

What has Fred Thompson really ever done to gain the hype that he's the next Ronald Regan? Seriously, what makes some conservatives so ga-ga over him anyway?

2007-08-22T18:51:00.000-05:00

Ok. This is my prediction: Hillary will win the Democrat primary, Giuliani will win the Republican one. Like it or not that's the facts folks. I would like to be wrong, but that hasn't occured yet and it doesn't look like it will anytime soon. It's not easy being right all the time. It is my burden to bear for humanity. I do this for all of you, because I care that much.

2007-08-22T16:50:00.000-05:00

Bravo to President Bush for that powerful speech he gave today. It's good to hear him fire back at the Dem's and the libs for all the crap they've said that isn't true. They're ticked too. The truth hurts doesn't it?!

2007-08-08T20:24:00.000-05:00

Demo-rats admitting that the troop surge is actually making progress?!
What's wrong with this picture? I thought it wasn't working (according to Dem's) and they weren't even going to listen to any good news about it because it would all be spun by the Republicans anyway. But now Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin, Bob Casey and Jack Reed, and even Sen. Carl Levin admit progress has been made. The Dem's are quick to point out however, that virtually no progress has been made on the political front, and so the focus thus switches to that rather than the military progress. The simple reason why is that anything positive cannot be allowed to receive media attention, we must focus on what's not happening and how Bush is responsible for it all. Remember people, he is responsible for the war, the bad weather in America, the bridge collapse, the coal mine collapse, etc. They've always called the U.S. president "the most powerful man in the world," but I never realized how true that really was!

Far-Left Nutjob Files Suit Over Moment of Silence

2007-08-08T19:56:00.000-05:00

David Wallace Croft and his wife, Shannon, of Carrollton, TX have filed a law suit against Gov. Rick Perry over him allowing "moments of silence" in the school their 3 children attend, stating that it is a violation of the Constitution and is nothing more than state-sanctioned school prayer.

Dear God, what is this world coming to?! It is not a violation of the Constitution, on the contrary actually. It is not "state-sanctioned prayer" it's SILENCE! Even if the Governor himself specifically called for a prayer it WOULD NOT violate the Constitution or any other law, period.

While we as Christians are still the majority, we need to educate people on these things. We need to take a stand for what we believe while we still can. We outnumber non-Christians big-time, yet you'd never know it by watching the news these days. Since when in the history of mankind does the minority speak for the majority? Majority rules, it always has. Let's start using our voices and getting us on TV not these imbeciles before it's too late and people really think they are the majority. Get off you're butts Christians!!

Armed Soldier Missing

2007-08-08T19:45:00.000-05:00

This is the last thing we need. 19 year old Pfc. Ryan Longnecker of Kentucky is missing along with his Army issued 9mm handgun and M4 assault rifle from Camp Shelby, a 136,000-acre base near Hattiesburg in south Mississippi. He and his unit are to be shipped to Iraq in two weeks. Lets pray the military finds him before he has a chance to show us all why he escaped.

2007-08-08T19:34:00.000-05:00

Keep in you're prayers the six men trapped in the Utah coal mine. They may still be alive and they need our support. Also, pray for their families during all of this too. May God's will ultimately prevail.

Bravo to Wisconsin justice! Eric Hainstock has been convicted of first degree intentional homicide in the murder of Weston Schools Principal John Klang on Sept. 29th. This is the most serious charge under Wisconsin law. The defense had said Hainstock didn't mean to shoot Klang, and painted him as a troubled bot who had a host of problems. As if that excuses what he did. Hainstock shot Klang a total of 3 times! Which is an impossible accident. He maliciously and premeditatedly murdered John Klang in cold blood with no remorse of his actions. We've all had our problems in school. I have suffered many of the same things Eric Hainstock has growing up. Never once did I think about doing what he did. My father and step-father are both cops so I had access to guns. 90% of us get teased growing up but we don't murder people for it. There is no excuse for what Hainstock did, justice has been served the best it can in a state where we don't have the death penalty. Praise God that justice prevailed.

2007-08-05T15:12:00.000-05:00

I went to my first Brewers game last Tuesday against the Mets with my brother. It was awesome! I can't believe I've never been to a game before. It couldn't have ended much better, with Jenkins slamming one into the stands in right field winning it 4-2 in the 13th! I had hoped for a dramatic win after paying for seats behind home plate, and I got exactly what I payed and hope for. I loved it, I'm going to have to go again-and more often.

2007-08-05T14:54:00.000-05:00

All this junk about pulling out of Iraq is pitifully stupid. Don't believe the hype, the Dems are not going to pull us out of Iraq even if they win the '08 election. They're stupid but not that stupid. They won't be responsible for the slaughter of thousands upon thousands of innocent Iraqis. They talk a big talk but don't let 'em fool ya, they're just doing it as a stunt to get more people to hate President Bush and the Republicans. Believe me, they will spin the outcome so that they receive the glory for winning the war and Bush and the Republicans go down for everything they can pin on them.

2007-08-05T14:28:00.000-05:00

Amazing isn't it how long it took for the libs to blame President Bush for the bridge collapse in Minnesota?! It was only minutes after the incident happened that the far-left bloggers and far-left websites started blaming him and the Republican party. They never cease to amaze me.

2007-07-30T20:11:00.000-05:00

So those of you who took part in my poll think Republicans in congress are doing a lousy job. Pretty pathetic huh!? What happened to Republicans being strong? This bunch of guys has gotta be the biggest bunch of limp wristed wimps we've had in a long time. Before you start sending me all the hate mail, I don't mean that ALL of them are this bad. But the bad seems to outweigh the good here. I know it's sooo cliche to keep looking back to bygone eras but we need another Regan.

2007-07-30T19:55:00.000-05:00

A poll of Wisconsinites shows that (intelligent) people here favor Republican Rudy Giuliani over Tommy Thompson and John McCain. Fred Thompson wasn't even included in the poll because when it was taken his bid for candidacy was still a bit new. The (less intelligent) crowd here favors Al Gore over all others. Unfortunately, there are no true conservatives running that have a chance. This election is kind of like this year's American Idol, all of the contestants suck but somebodies gotta win. I don't know if I should say it but, I think Giuliani's going to get the the Republican spot, but the primary's still months off so who knows.

The story of the poll is in this link:

What's going on in the drive-by media all of the sudden? There are voices out there admitting that we are making progress in Iraq, that we need to wait for Gen. Patraeus's report, and that we can't get out of Iraq anytime soon because it would be a genocidal bloodbath. Well, better late than never. Now their starting to get up to speed with the rest of us.

2007-07-30T19:30:00.000-05:00

Chris Matthews took Feingold to the cleaners last night. Feingold admitted that there's no evidence whatsoever against President Bush. Feingold just doesn't like him. Fancy that! We new that all along, but it's about time someone forced it out of him. Feingold on the other hand has committed some offences against the Constitution and the law. Of course, that's not gonna get any media attention because he's a Demo-rat and that wouldn't fit the drive-by media's agenda. There are still a few beacons of hope out there in the media making sure a Democrat actually gets held accountable and asked a hard question now and then. God bless them for reporting the truth.

2007-07-25T20:36:00.000-05:00

Democrat Senator Russ Feingold said on July 22nd that he would introduce two censures condemning President Bush for what he calls "repeated assaults on the rule of law." http://feingold.senate.gov/~feingold/releases/07/07/20070722.html This while Dingy Harry refers to our president as the worst president is U.S. history. Little does Feingold know that he can't censure the president, it's unconstitutional! That's a lib for ya though. But if he's going to try this on Bush, I think Bush should censure him right back. The president's power is supreme, a senator's is not. This is just another sore loser, liberal stunt. Why is is it that libs can wish the assassination of our VP, throw the Constitution out the window, name call, and so on and it's supposed to be alright? If the Republicans tried pulling stunts like this the Dems and their media allies would rake them through the coals. Just another double standard from the party that invented the term. :)

America the Beautiful

2007-07-24T19:14:00.000-05:00

I was jogging the other day and I could not help but think about the blessing it is to live in America. Looking up in the sky I noticed a jet flying over head. The people on board had no reason to be worried about being shot down by anti-aircraft guns or (for the most part) a hijacking. Short of mechanical failure, they could be at perfect ease. Kids were playing in their front yard running through a sprinkler without a care in the world, just enjoying being young. Not giving a thought to the low cost, clean water provided for them. Not worrying about terrorism, militants seizing them, or rocket attacks raining down on them from a rival state. Joggers, walkers, bike riders all enjoying the freedom and safety to do as they please. I passed by several American flags waving in the light breeze along the paved hiking trail I was on. I just started thinking of all the things that I had going for me as an American and I couldn't help get tears in my eyes. I thanked God for allowing me to be born in what I truly believe is the greatest civilization ever to be placed upon the earth. We have issues and problems both individually, and collectively but nothing to compare to the glorious blessing that is our for being born American citizens. Others risk their lives to get into this country, and not for no reason. The poorest of us has far more, and far more available to them than does 90% of the rest of this world. Nothing, and I mean nothing is withheld from us in this great nation of ours. Education is available to all, college too. Jobs are there for those willing to work. Housing is available regardless of one's socioeconomic status. Safety from external threats is greater here than anywhere else. The list is never ending. Today, pause and think about just some of the things you are grateful for in this country. You could have been born anywhere, but for whatever reason God allowed you the privilege and honor of being born an American. God Bless America, America Bless God.

2007-07-24T18:56:00.000-05:00

I couldn't resist adding this from Rush Limbaugh's opening comments yesterday: "President Bush had five polyps removed from his colon over the weekend. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Carl Levin, and Dick Durbin are all doing fine."

Sex Ed.

2007-07-24T18:43:00.000-05:00

Dear God, if things weren't out of whack enough in this country now Obama wants our kindergartners; wait let me say that again in case you somehow passed over it too quickly; our KINDERGARTNERS to be given sex education. Are you kidding me!!?? How many of you were making plans to sneak over to some cutie's house to have sex when you were 5!? What has happened to the parents in this country? Since when did it become the job of the school to give little Johnny the "birds and the bees talk"? However, this fits perfectly Hillary's "it takes a village" agenda to control society starting with the children-much like Hitler did. Bottom line parents is this, your not doing your job as a parent. You need help, and the government is the only one who can help you, turn your kids over to them and maybe they'll have a chance. Big government is the only way. Mega-diddos to Mit Romney for his much welcomed comments. He believes the appropriate sex education for kindergartners is none. Amen!

The YouTube Debate

2007-07-24T18:29:00.000-05:00

I'm not even gonna get started with this one except to say that the most intelligent you heard last night (if you actually watched it) was, strangely enough, by Sen. Joe Biden (D-Delaware). He was right on with his comments on the Democrat plan to pull out of Iraq. Of course, after his comments last night you can count him out of the lineup of presidential hopefuls. His telling of the truth just doesn't fit with the libs agenda of defeat and surrender. Nevertheless, God bless you Senator for saying what needed to be said!

Left-wing Feminism

2007-07-24T18:17:00.000-05:00

The libs never cease to amaze me! Believe it or not the prevailing view about women voters is that women will vote for Hillary simply because she's female! This coming from the side that is allegedly so pro-women, anti-stereotype, and so on. If this isn't an outright insult to the fairer sex's intelligence, I don't know what is. Let me rephrase their side for you. Women aren't smart enough to follow politics or make an informed decision about this, and they must all be man-haters like the rest of the feminazi libs, so they'll vote for Hillary because she's a women and it's about time we get one of them in the oval office (above the desk).

Slumber party

2007-07-19T18:57:00.000-05:00

Dingy Harry spends our hard earned tax dollars funding his all night slumber party. This is yet another in a long line of publicity stunts meant to drum up support for the Dem's anti-war, anti-troop agenda. And like all the others, it too has failed. Praise God for the Republicans who blocked this stupidity from proceeding any further. When Reid failed to achieve his desired outcome, he promptly pulled the defense bill that would have funded the "modernization of soldiers' equipment, including Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected trucks for soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan; a 3.5 percent raise for American men and women in the military; and funding to assist wounded veterans." (Source: GOP.com 7/19/07) Bravo Mr. Reid! Way to boost the morale of our courageous men and women in uniform! As if all that the Democrats have done to discourage and demean their sacrifice up 'til now wasn't bad enough.
