Liberalism
The awful truth about liberalism is its central delusion, the notion that life can be neatly organized into rational bureaucratic programs. It turns everything it touches into soulless clanking monster.While professing to care more for us than we even care for ourselves, liberalism is the darkest black hole of compassion because it is created in the black pit of the heart of man without even a glimmer of the light of God. Liberalism's quest is to destroy the spirit instilled in man by his Creator.
Before princes, principalities and powers comes life and love, mothers and babies, children and families, struggle and sacrifice, a city on a hill.
The glorious truth about conservatism is its love of life.

Herd mentality?
Ok, now I'm ready to herd all you bluedogs to pass my healthscare bill.
Why no I haven't actually read it, but one of my czars said it was cool.

The Thawing
Total hatip to neoneocon.
Obama “the iceman” melteth: but Politico’s Ben Smith hasn’t been paying attention
Ben Smith of Politico seems to think Obama’s getting rattled, and that this has caused a change in the persona he’s showing to the country and the world.
But everything the article describes as new behavior was already in evidence during the campaign—that is, to those paying attention to the details. Obama has always had a tendency to get nasty and emotional, or haughty and dismissive, when pressed—but during the campaign he was rarely ever pressed. As for the trash talk, didn’t Politico see Obama give Hillary the finger, or flick the dirt off his shoulder? Or how about getting acquainted with the ancient history of how Obama got his start against Alice Palmer? Not to mention the fact that Obama’s lack of reaching across the aisle for Republican input began nearly at the start of his presidency, not just now.
This in particular struck me as disingenuous on the part of Obama’s spokesman, as well:
White House Deputy Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer dismissed the suggestion that Obama should be expected to succeed effortlessly – or that he’s on a path toward failure on any of these varied fronts.
“Obama and his team have been down this road dozens of times and been declared dead many times and always succeeded,” he said. “No one gets rich betting against Barack Obama.”
Now that I think of it, perhaps it’s not disingenuous after all; perhaps it just shows ignorance (or denial) of the fact that Obama has never had to succeed at anything political before except for getting elected, and then ingratiating himself with the leader of the Illinois Senate who allowed him to take credit for the work of other people on legislative bills. After that, all Obama really had to do was give speeches and run a campaign.
Granted, he was very good indeed at that. But a campaign and a presidency are different. I am beginning to think that one of the problems with Obama and his advisers is that they actually believe an administration is merely the continuation of a campaign. After all, Obama has never had to face that hard truth before—each office of his has been useful only as a springboard for the next one. The idea that he is now in office for at least four years, with no higher office in sight, and that people may actually for the first time in his life expect him to produce some actual results in addition to lofty words, is very slow to dawn on Obama and the people around him.
They probably think if he bobs and weaves and spins enough, his chickens will never come home to roost. And perhaps they are correct; perhaps the press will stay in his pocket, partly to avoid admitting its own failure to evaluate and vet Obama properly. But there are signs—and the Politico article is one of them—that even the press cannot deny that this man is not what he appeared (to them) to be.

Gummint' Healthscare
"Taxes for this will just come from the rich", who will pass the added expense to consumers who will make due with less causing the 'rich' job creator to lay you off. But, hey, we ain't gonna' raise your taxes to pay for it. Get it?
Plus you get free healthcare...EVERY 3 YEARS!

I, American Zealot
I am writing this post in response to an email I received criticizing Republican Representatives. The mailer’s idea was that our elected leaders shouldn't voice their opposition to transferring suspected terrorists from Guantanamo Bay to prisons in the United States and possibly Kansas.
The suggestion that not blindly following President Obama and Nancy Pelosi makes these Congresspersons “rabid zealots who would bring the USA to ruin" shows how juvenile and immature this person’s argument is.
A recent USA Today/Gallup Poll showed that 65 percent of respondents opposed closing Guantanamo Bay and 74 percent opposed transferring prisoners to the United States. Many of those respondents voted for Obama last November. Are the 74 percent who oppose the Obama/Pelosi agenda and want to keep America safe "rabid zealots," or is it just certain Republican Congresspersons?
Let's keep in mind that Obama keeps going around the world apologizing for America, which isn't going to do anything but embolden America's enemies. I am glad that some Congressional Representatives are standing up for America by standing against the out-of-control policies of President Obama and Nancy Pelosi.

The war.
We're still at war against the islamofascists, right?
Anybody else noticing the thundering silence from the anti-war nutters. Hmm, think that was agenda driven? I'm just sayin'.

Baldwin slams Cafferty
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock star, HuffPost blogger and rumored Senate candidate, took a swipe at Jack Cafferty over comments he made yesterday on CNN. In talking about actors running for office, Cafferty described Baldwin's credentials as "questionable," but noted that Al Franken is Harvard-educated. That prompted Baldwin to ask: "So Franken fits the mold for Cafferty because he went to Harvard?
I would like to make a deal with Cafferty. Jack, you don't tell people that a career in the performing arts disqualifies them from seeking elected office, and I won't say publicly that your being convicted of leaving the scene of an accident in which you struck a cyclist and then ran two red lights while you were pursued by the police and were subsequently ordered to serve 70 hours of community service back in May of 2003 disqualifies you from posing as a "Man of the People" on a major cable news network.

Barack Onirvana
I was listening to the 3rd grader presidential wannabe yammering away with his well-worn platitudes, bromides and cliché’s the other day. He was talking about how he’s going to unite us and restore (like it ever truly existed) peace and happiness on this wet green jewel we live on. Suddenly, in my minds eye I saw these four blokes walking, one behind the other, across a street. BO followed by Ahmadinejad, bin Laden and Jong-il, all in white three piece suits with the St. John’s children’s choir singing Kumbayah in the background.
I can’t believe that before this epiphany I actually doubted that Obamarama could actually sit down with these weasels and convince them of the error of their ways. Ah… think of it; Rush Limbaugh speaking at the Daily Kos convention, Soros donating to the RNC, Streisand and Coulter working together on a nice quilt.
What next, Lions lying down with Lambs? Perhaps the messiah is saving that for Super Tuesday.
One day maybe he will share with the un-washed…HOW.
When things are kept hidden from you, it’s usually because you’re not going to like the looks of them.

P.S. With one team from Keghead Kennedy’s neighborhood and the other from…oh yeah, it’s really New Jersey! GO GIANTS !!

The Caliphate of hate strikes once again
From the January-February issue of the VVA Veteran news magazine.
Letters
I read the recent article about a Westboro, Kansas, Baptist Church protest group that picketed the funeral of Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, a Marine killed in Iraq. These protesters carried signs saying “Thank God for dead soldiers,” and claimed it was their constitutional right to protest. Evidently their church doesn’t teach anything about respect for others’ feelings, or compassion for their fellow man. I also would like to know where in the Constitution it says this type of behavior is granted.
Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder’s father took the protesters to court, and won an $11 million judgment against the church. He said his reason for taking court action was not the money, but so other victims would have the opportunity to win judgments against this type of improper protest,
I don’t think anyone who calls himself a Christian would commit such a despicable, ignorant act. Shame on them. Their actions border on treason.
Lance Cpl. Snyder is a hero and a son of liberty. He and his family are owed more than can be imagined.
William T. Bradley
Adams, Massachusetts
Well…It’s the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, KS, my hometown. Yeah, we’re all real proud of that distinction.
The leader of this auspicious CULT is a troll named Fred and his flock is, basically, his retarded family. I swear, what you see, if you have had the misfortune to cast your eyes upon this blight on humanity, is the entire “congregation”.
Fred has this…thing…about homosexuals and that’s the root of his hating the defenders of the republic (that he thinks protects gays).
In the words of Shakespeare he “doth protest too much, methinks”.
These human doodies are, I think, clearly protected by the first amendment.
The answer lies in states rights, which I hope you are aware, can legislate that these maggots cannot protest within, say, a mile of a funeral, or wedding, or any of those “personal” events to families. Another idea for a state law or local ordinance would be to clearly define all funerals as private events and off limits to “public protest”.
Not one of the Phelps cabal could man or woman up to the shadow of Matthew Snyder’s memory. So they wait… for the next opportunity for a payday, the lawsuit they think they might win.

A different spice
I’ve done it before and this lady does a great job on the dish, I’m recommending it to you.

I’m going to go out and sit with the hens (and “Gunny”) for a while. A short while since it’s already 11:45a and it’s a blistering 23deg.
Take care,

Happy Birthday Surge!
Operation Phantom Phoenix is well on it’s way and working. Al Qaeda dirt bags running like jackrabbits with 20 tons of bombs on them like winter sleet and U.S. and Iraqi troops nipping at their stinking heels.
Headline America: “Nine American Soldiers Killed”. Progress? No…just dead soldiers.
Politicians, who cherish their standing amongst their own insane far left “al Qaeda” more than the American military EVER winning ANY war or the freedom of any people, comment that running, will be their first priority.
Iraqi leaders, political and military are standing up, attempting national unity and crushing the foreign virus that has nothing but death and despair to offer them.
The islamofascists and the leftists, thankfully, have one important thing in common…they will always, always, over play their hands.
Whoowah US & Iraqi Troops!

You might be my kind of candidate if...
…you blame America last.
…you kinda like it when terrorists are made uncomfortable.
…you think a Senate majority leader who constantly tells us how things are doomed while a war is still ongoing needs a good bit**-slapping.
…you think it’s great if a murderer finds God, but that doesn’t mean he should be let out of prison.
…you think America’s sovereignty is kinda important.
…you think anyone who talks about how the rich aren’t “paying their fair share” is a whiny little Communist.
…”great hair” is low on your list of presidential requirements.
…call you crazy, but you’d prefer a presidential candidate who actually shares your conservative views.
…you think it’s time someone did something about the hippies.
…you think someone didn’t draw those border lines on a map just for fun.
…you prefer movies where American troops are the good guys.
…you suspect the Iran might actually be up to something.
... you do not think eight years of looking the other way qualifies you to expect citizens will "trust" you to be on top of obvious problems.

Live from Topeka
I just e mailed the wife of one of our fallen protectors who is promoting putting as severe a set of constraints on the Westboro Caliphate of Hate as possible. She was on the local news tonight and it was good to see her fighting the good fight, that is, keeping the drooling, knuckle dragging homophobic pustules of ignorance as far away from the funerals of our soldiers as possible.
I attended Sgt. Dominic Sacco’s funeral and witnessed the despicable protest the trolls put on. Thankfully, between the Patriot Guard and the throng of veterans and respectful folks from the immediate community, the unexplainably deranged actually looked a bit fearful. Good. Reaping what they HOPE to sow.
The next time you see a soldier in uniform or see that white sidewall haircut, give ‘em a hug and a word of thanks. The lady warriors…be careful with them, but of course respectful. They might really hurt you!

Legals -1, Folks who just don't get it -0
The U.S. Senate finally put the ill-constructed Immigration Reform Bill out of it's misery today. Teddy Kennedy, "The Liberal Lyin'" just can't believe it. (John & Bobby rolling over in their graves one more time no doubt) I've a rule of thumb about keghead, if he likes it, somebody is about to get soaked. For some strange reason most folks are just a teeny bit dubious that the gummint' can, all the sudden, control the border. Go figure.
Once again, Mary Jo Kopechne, could not be reached for comment.

Love letter
A Love letter I sent to "Dancin' Sam Brownbackstabber"
Sam,
On the issue you call “immigration” (your tepid little website is devoid of an offering of “ILLEGAL immigration” in the subject categories) what are you guys thinking! Don’t give me the “What would Jesus do” business; I can Catholic with you right to the mat.
Our men and women sacrifice themselves to protect this country from the islamofascists and for the liberty of the people of Iraq. You and your little cadre of elitist panty waists, meanwhile, are giving away the sovereignty and economic future of their country for prospective voters. Are you proud of that?
66% of those polled think the McKennedy plan stinks and guess what…We’ll be watching. Have you clowns decided that democracy is passé as well?
Well, ta ta for now, by the way, you can take that silver fork from the Senate dining room and, well, you know what to do with that at least.
