Simply Complicated
We all our tested at various times during our lifetime. It seems like I am being tested moreso lately due to finances being really tight, and having questions regarding my faith. Does your faith ever test you? Do you ever question whether God has a plan for you? Questioning things is a part of life. When Questions arise whether it be related to faith, politics, or just life in general it seems like the answers are out of my reach. Growing up as a child life used to be so simple but since I entered into and have experienced adulthood for the past 15 or so years it just seems like life gets more complicated the older I get. Growing up I remember people of different political views gathering together and having a good time. Now that the country is so partisan it seems that it is hard to have a political conversation with another person who has the polar opposite view as your own without someone getting angry and lashing out at the other. I know it's possible but I just don't think it happens nearly as often as it did 20 years ago. Is working together the answer when our beliefs are so diametrically opposed to one another? With our values being so different from one another? Should one compromise their values in order to find middle ground with the other person's point of view? Is there even a way to compromise without compromising your values?
I thought that I would have gotten my Eagle Freedom Links done today but unfortunately that didn't happen so hopefully I will post them tomorrow. My husband and I had talked for awhile about starting a blog together so when the blogger blackout occurred we thought that it was the opportune time to start it. We have been working on the style of the blog over the weekend. We will be adding links and other goodies to our blog shortly. We decided to go with Wordpress instead of blogger so slowly but shorely we have been figuring out all the ins and outs of the wordpress format. Our blog's name is Catholibertarian. Interesting huh? Who would have thought that those two would go together?
I hope all of my blogging buddies have a great week!!

LTC Allen West Discusses Obama, MLK, Race Relations & Other Issues
LTC Allen West, US Army (Ret) discusses many issues surrounding the Obama presidency. He is a great patriot. This is an interesting interview.
This is an interesting article on how Obama has confused and endangered our military's lives due to his lackadasical policies on terrorism.
Thanks Obama: U.S. Commanders in Afghanistan ‘Confused’ about How To Handle Captured Terrorists
Washington (CNSNews.com) – Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), just back from a fact-finding trip to Afghanistan and Pakistan, said he and other senators found operational “confusion” among U.S. military officials on how to handle detained enemy combatants.
“From the top to the bottom, the military, the American military people that we talked to, indicated some confusion, operationally, about what you do when you detain a terrorist,” McConnell said at a press conference on Tuesday.
The Republican delegation, which McConnell led, included Republican Sens. Mike Crapo (Idaho), Roger Wicker (Miss.), and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), the Senate GOP Conference vice-chairwoman
After pointing out that a U.S. military general declined to answer questions about the handling of insurgent detainees without the presence of his lawyer, the minority leader said: “This operational confusion has . . . been created, it strikes me, unnecessarily and, frankly, dangerously, by the administration.”
McConnell criticized the administration, in particular, for recently handing over the so-called underwear bomber, Nigerian terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, to criminal courts rather than to the military.
“This sort of preoccupation, if you will, that we see on full display here in the U.S., with the example of the Christmas would-be bomber being turned over — not to the military for interrogation, but to criminal courts — and told he is entitled to a lawyer, is a mentality that I think is very dangerous in the war on terror,” the minority leader said.

Invasion Of The Brain Snatchers
One explanation for the disease known as liberalism is that . . .
Aliens snatched the likes of Nancy Pelosevich, Rachel Madcow, Dingy Harry and the rest of their ilk, and brought them to the planet Imbecilia. The aliens sucked out all of their brains and injected each of their empty skulls with soil from Imbecilia called the mud of stupidity. Now, the dark sith lord of Imbecilia (Obama) has sent Pelosevich's pinchers and the rest of his minions to the United States to suck out all of the brains of its citizens, replace their brains with the mud of stupidity, and force zombiecare on all of the citizens. 
Now, we intelligent, freedom-loving, Bible-reading, gun-toting Americans are fighting alongside Saracuda to stop and destroy the evil and stupidity known as liberalism. A MUST READ: Absolutely Wonderful Transcript of Rush Caller
This is a transcript of a Rush Caller.
This is absolutely wonderful!! A must read!
This woman was on fire! And spot on!
Here is an excellent transcript of a caller, named Susan from http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/.
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: All right, Susan in Glendale, California, nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Rush, it’s a huge honor for me to speak to you, and I hope I can keep my — my voice level, because I am so passionate. I am as passionate as you are about this country. I’m a conservative. I’ve listened to you for 25 years. I’m married. I have seven kids. And when you were telling me about how all of the shenanigans that they’re going to do in the Senate to pass two different Senate bills then slam ‘em together, attach them to some House bill about TARP, and then jam it through and jam it down our throats, I got furious. And then I listened to what you said about the Michigan mom who was watching some kids before they went to school and how the Michigan state came down on her accusing her of running an illegal day care, and you’re right: What they’re going to do is they’re going to threaten our health and they’re going to threaten the health of our children. If I don’t comply with their health care, I’m not going to be able to get my children the medicine they need.
RUSH: No, it’s not — whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It’s not if you don’t comply with their health care. It’s if you’re a good citizen in support of the liberals running the country.
CALLER: Yes, sir. And I’m not. I’m a conservative. You know what? I’m 45. I might fall and break my hip in the next ten years. They’re going to have to give me a shot because they’re not going to want me to be healed and they’re going to do this to my children. It’s like you said. They are the party of abortion. They are the party of euthanasia. They are trying to wipe out senior citizens who are maybe not as useful to the Democrat National Committee as they should be, we’re not contributing enough to them. And I am outraged and furious. And my question to you — because I’m a political nobody; I’m just out here on the Left Coast in la-la land watching all the liberals run our California state bankrupt — is: “What can we do, legally, morally, to take this country back?” I want people to stand up, and I want them to vote these criminals, these pedophiles out of office.
I want them to take back the state of California and make it a Golden State, and I want them to take back Washington. But we’re little people, and we marched two million of us down to Washington and the press — ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC — not one of them shows pictures on the news, not one of them will report anything. In fact, they cover it up! I’ve talked to so many people on the phone, just neighbors who are liberal and some of them are conservative, both sides, and I tell them these things. “Go to Fox News. Look at this.” No one sees the truth. But the travesty of all of this — part of this is politics as normal, independent, it’s two party. We’re going to fight and tussle over what’s right and wrong and, you know, we’re going to win some, lose some. But the damning thing today is that the press, the press is betraying us and we have no way — us, we be the little political moms, nobodies. I’m a mother, and I have no one to listen to, to go to on the news, except for you and Fox.
Tell us what we can do in 2010, other than voting for Sarah Palin. Which I will do. But I need to know because I don’t have much hope. I sure don’t have hope from Obama. I need hope from Rush and I want you to please tell us what we can do, because this is the life of my children. They’re on the line. They can put me out to pasture, but, yes, they’ve got me over a barrel. Because I will do anything to save the lives of my children, even if it means I’ve gotta kiss some big Democrat’s rear end to get the health care for my baby, I’ll have to do it, and that sickens me because they’re my employees. I’m paying their salaries. I’m paying for their fancy office of doctors down where you were talking about at the House of Representatives and the Senate. They just get to walk in and pay $503 and they get all the health care that they need for $503, specialists flown in.
The pharmacy right there on their hour! Probably open 24 hours a day. Nobody has to wait. They get that because I’m paying for it. I’m paying for it! It’s coming out of my children’s allowances, my grocery money. They are getting it, and they’re taking it without listening, without representing us — like you said, the small R. I’m not being represented. I’ve called Boxer’s office. I’ve called Adam Schiff who is my so-called representative. They are very polite to little people on the phone but the people who are running this country don’t listen to us. There are millions of us and we are all furious. And no one, no one is even reporting what is being said! And I’m watching my country that I love, that my father fought for in World War II, that my father-in-law was wounded and got the Purple Heart for — and I’m watching it just being taken, just like candy from a baby.
“Oh, we’ll help you. We’ll give you health care. Here’s a lollipop. Go away,” and nobody’s doing anything. I’m sorry to be so angry, but I need hope, and I need to know how to counteract these shenanigans. This is not what we put people in government for is to run little-bitty side bills, smash ‘em together, and then vote ‘em under the carpet into a different health care bill that is languishing in some committee that they haven’t voted on. That’s dirty politics and it shouldn’t be happening. It should up-and-down votes. And you’re right. The 63 new judges coming on, that’s going to cement — that’s going to absolutely cement — their ability to write law instead of legislate. They can just send it to the judges. The judges will rubber stamp it. We’ll have liberal judges, we’ll just write the law. Never mind conservatism. Never mind reading what the law actually says. I look at this, and I see this happening every day.
I’m listening to you, and I’m to the point where I don’t even know if I should listen anymore because I’m so passionate and I’m so furious to watch all this and to hear it all happening, and I feel so powerless for the first time in my life. I’m glad Mrs. Obama is proud of her country for the first time in her life. I, as a mother, as a nobody I am ashamed of my government for the first time in my life — and I need to know how to combat this, especially in 2010. What can I do today, now, to help, to revitalize these namby-pamby liberal Republican RINOs in our Senate and in our government who are just voting to get along and “I want to get reelected.” That’s nonsense. They’re not standing up for what is good and clean and right. They’re not standing up for our Constitution. They should be all thrown out, every last one of them — and I don’t know how to mobilize people, but you do, Rush. You do! You have the power. And with great gifts, God gives great responsibility. And I beg you please, please give us hope and lead us. Because this cannot stand. They cannot keep doing this. This is wrong.
RUSH: We still have Susan on the line from Glendale, California, and Susan, I was under no inclination to interrupt you or stop you, even when we got to the segment end.CALLER: I apologize.RUSH: No, don’t apologize, just the exact opposite. You summarized my first hour in ten minutes.
CALLER: Well, I like to listen to you, you’re great, and you always give us the facts.
RUSH: But you asked me what you could do.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: One thing you have to realize, you just did it. The passion and the emotion that you brought without one stutter –
CALLER: Well –
RUSH: You didn’t lose your train of thought. There was not one stutter. And I guarantee you the people in this, the largest radio audience in the country, are all out there standing up and cheering on their feet.
CALLER: You know what, Rush? I did it without a teleprompter! Or notes! So there.
RUSH: Or a writer. You didn’t have a ghostwriter.
CALLER: No, I didn’t. I have a three-year-old son, but he can’t do this. But I didn’t use a teleprompter, and I know what I’m saying, which is, I’m sorry, perhaps more than I can say for some of the people who are running our country. And it insults my intelligence. I walked away from a very good job at a law firm, I’m educated, I have a law degree, and I did it because I was promoted by God to be a mother of seven. I’m giving everything I’ve got to them. And the one thing I cannot give them, absent help from good people all over this country, I can’t give them the American way of life. I can’t give them freedom. I can’t give them that. I can teach them and that’s all I can do. But everybody’s got to stand up, and, you know what? Why don’t you make 2010 the worst nightmare ever for the Democrats. Pick up the phone, call Sarah Palin, and you two run, run in 2010. Rush and Sarah. Do it. They would go nuts. I know you couldn’t do your show every day. And I know there are not enough Democrat women like Pelosi in the Senate to give you your 30 minutes of aerobic activity because there’s no boobs to ogle like you were telling about that German study finding that 10 minutes of breast ogling helps men, but we’ll get you a treadmill in there, I’m sure the White House will have a treadmill, it’s got a basketball court now and other things and an organic garden. We’ll get you set up, we’ll keep you healthy, maybe once you judge the Miss America contest, maybe you could do that every year, and that would give you a good cardiovascular burst. And you could go ahead and run the country for four years. But we gotta do something.
RUSH: Well, one thing I want to tell you here is, you are not alone. I know you feel it, you said it –
CALLER: I do.
RUSH: — you feel you’re just a little person out there on the left coast and you’re overwhelmed by all this, but I think you should try to understand that the majority of people who pay attention to stuff in this country are with you on this. Their frustration is identical to yours.
CALLER: Yes, but they don’t know how to mobilize to do it, to stop it. We’re going to have this health care bill rammed down our throats before the election.
RUSH: Wait a second, now. I think they do. People have been mobilizing on their own. That’s one of the great things about all the tea parties and the other things going on, is there’s not an identifiable leader saying, “Go here, do that, I want you to show up.”
CALLER: I know.
RUSH: People are doing it on their own, of their own volition, their own emotion, because they’re just like you –
CALLER: I know.
RUSH: — they don’t want to lose the country, they don’t want to see it taken over, they don’t want to see it destroyed this way, especially for their children and grandchildren, and there are more of you than you know. Now, this health care thing, you talk about 2010. If they’re able to ram this through in the next couple of weeks or the next couple of months –
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: — 2010 is going to be nothing but punishment.
CALLER: I hope so.
RUSH: Now, the one thing to keep in mind here, the one thing to keep in mind is — I’m actually wrong. I need to take that back. This bill is not going to be implemented until 2013.
CALLER: Right. Right.
RUSH: So 2010 is crucial. That’s where the real change is going to come, and that’s throwing these Democrats out, as many as possible.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: Now, there are two things that I want to say to you here. The reason that 2013 is the year is because everybody in charge of this plan, from Obama to Reid and Pelosi, all the Democrats know full well there’s going to be a revolt.
CALLER: Yes. I know they know this. They’re just trying to lock it in anyway.
RUSH: Well, no –
CALLER: — because they want to secure their power.
RUSH: But 2012 is Obama’s reelection year, 2013 it gets implemented. If it got implemented before 2012 Obama would be beaten in a landslide –
CALLER: That’s right.
RUSH: — and he still may be, ACORN notwithstanding.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: The second thing here about all of these things that are happening, and you feel powerless to do anything about it, I think what’s happening throughout the country is an illustration that people are not powerless. This passion, this emotion that you represent here today that is felt by millions will have and is going to have an outlet. These techniques, the things that are being tried by the Democrats here are so against the decency and grain of the vast majority of the people in this country –
CALLER: That’s what’s offensive.
RUSH: — they’re not going to put up with it.
CALLER: I know. That’s what’s offensive –
RUSH: They aren’t going to put up with it.
CALLER: It’s not just politics as usual. It’s not, “Okay, we win some and we lose some.” This is underhanded, dirty dealing, “Okay, we’re going to vote for one bill, but we’re going to switch it, we’re going to edit it out.” It’s like a computer, you just zap it out and stick something in, but the vote doesn’t get edited. It’s virtual bills. We just get to change it. It’s outrageous. If I did this in a job, I would be fired. And yet they keep doing it and we’ve got to hold them accountable.
RUSH: And trust me, believe me, they will be.
CALLER: I know you’re right. That’s why I listen to you every day I can.
RUSH: I will tell you when it’s time to panic. And it isn’t time to panic. Panic doesn’t lead to productive action.
CALLER: True.
RUSH: I’ll tell you when it’s time. What you’re feeling right now is not even panic.
CALLER: No, it’s rage. It’s outrage.
RUSH: You are outraged and you want a positive channel for it.CALLER: Yes, I do. I want a positive way to effect and reclaim this country and to protect my children and to give them a good life.
RUSH: Here’s the second thing that I want to warn everybody against with all this passion. Because in this mix you and I haven’t discussed the Republican Party, have we?
CALLER: No, we haven’t.
RUSH: Well, let’s do that for just a second, because it’s crucial. While your rage, your outrage is properly directed at the architects of this disaster, the Democrat Party, at the same time, we don’t really see a lot of rage from our own elected representatives, do we? This is one of the reasons why –
CALLER: This is why we’re mad, ’cause they’re not outraged.
RUSH: That’s right.
CALLER: They don’t say anything, they don’t do anything.
RUSH: If you can call this radio show and in ten minutes, without one stutter, lay out the very dire threats that face this country, why in the hell can’t professional politicians stand up and say the same thing and take action to stop it?
CALLER: Amen.
RUSH: And that’s really the level of your frustration.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: Now, here’s where this is going to lead. If we’re not careful, this is going to lead people to start saying, “We need a third party.”
CALLER: No. No, no, no, no.
RUSH: Wait, hear me out. It’s going to lead to people say, “Both parties are the same, there’s no difference, Republicans and Democrats.” What we have to focus on here is taking back the Republican Party. I think there is enough rage right now, and if it sustains itself, and it will, Obama’s not going to stop any of this garbage, and the Democrats are not going to stop, so it will sustain itself.
CALLER: And we have to take back the party and revitalize it –
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: — with true conservatives.
RUSH: Exactly. That’s what has to happen. But at some point just voting against people is not enough.
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: It will be enough in 2010. But who we gonna elect in place of them? Where are the candidates going to come from?
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: I’m talking particularly now the House and the Senate. I mean you talked about the RINOs in the Senate, and there are a lot of them, and they’re scared to death of the media in Washington, they’re scared to death of being called racists, they’re scared to death of having happen to them what happens to Sarah Palin. They’re scared to death of having happen to them what happened to Joe Wilson. So they’ve got their own fear they have to overcome. They don’t understand that they’ve got an army of people. Even after all the campaign contributions Joe Wilson got, they still don’t see there’s an army of people willing to back ‘em up if they would just lead. There’s an army of people ready to follow ‘em.
CALLER: I gave Joe Wilson money. The minute he said it, the very night that he said “you lie,” I sent that guy money. And when he refused to apologize for a second time, when he’d already apologized personally to President Obama, and when he refused to do it again for the House and Senate, I sent him more money.
RUSH: Kin A'
CALLER: And that’s what we gotta do. We gotta back the people who are being leaders, and then we gotta kick out the ones who aren’t. But we can’t do a third party, we can’t do a tea party because we’ll be locked in with the Democrats, they’ll run the show because we’ll keep splitting the vote for 30 years.
RUSH: ‘Kin’ A! Exactly right. That’s going to lead to permanent victory for Democrats.
CALLER: I know! How do you tell people this? How do you say, “Whatever you do, vote conservative and get the Republican Party back.”
RUSH: Okay, we’re always going to have Perotistas.
CALLER: Yes, I remember him.
RUSH: All you gotta say to them, “Have you ever heard of Bill Clinton?”
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: You ever heard of Bill Clinton?
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: That’s something coming in the future, but this notion that both parties are the same and we gotta throw ‘em all out, unrealistic, they’re not the same, there’s no way that any Republican would be offering any of the things the Democrats are offering right now.
CALLER: I know.
RUSH: There is simply no way.
CALLER: But there is no room for cowards in government.
RUSH: Not right now. The country’s at stake.
CALLER: If you’re going to be in government you gotta play
RUSH: The country is at stake. You’re right, this is not about the traditional back-and-forth, the policy arguments, and we come to an agreement at the end of the day, we compromise and so forth. This is about the future of the country. So I understand your frustration. Believe me, I feel it, too. You’re asking me what you can do. We’re all asking ourselves that. You know, what can we do? People are marching; people are showing up in public; calling all these people’s offices. I think it’s a waste of your time, by the way, to call Boxer. I think right now if you’re going to call anybody, call Harry Reid’s office. I don’t care whether they talk to you or not, flood ‘em, shut ‘em down, e-mail, faxes, just shut ‘em down, call Harry Reid’s Nevada’s office, he’s worried about 2010 reelection. Harry Reid is about to have happen to him what happened to Tom Daschle. You call Harry Reid, don’t waste your time on Pelosi. Call Steny Hoyer. Call some of the Blue Dogs and moderates and so forth, because, I’ll tell you, these people, their political futures are up for grabs as well, the Blue Dog Democrats in the House.
But Harry Reid, you know, he’s the guy that’s the architect, along with Obama, of the shenanigans going on in the Senate right now. And, by the way, she spelled it out perfectly. If you didn’t hear the first hour, she gave you the summary of it pretty well, how they’re planning to attach two Senate health care bills to a House bill that the Senate has not yet acted on, on taxing bonuses. They’re basically going to attach a hybrid health care bill to the Senate version of the tax on bonuses bill and send that back to the House and have them vote on that with health care, single payer, public option health care being an amendment to a bill on taxing bonuses. And then they send that right up to Obama. Now, Susan, that’s not guaranteed. For this to happen, Pelosi and the House have to go along with whatever Harry Reid sends ‘em and not amend it and not add to it or take away from it, and you know, by the time the Congressional Black Caucus and some of the wacko leftists in the House get a look at the Senate bill, if it doesn’t have all the giveaways in it that they want, it could get screwed up. But this is the attempt going on, and this is how it would be done with 51 votes instead of 60, which is required in the Senate.
All of this is a tantamount admission that the American people don’t want it; it’s a tantamount admission they can’t pass it with public support and what that means is that they are scheming against the American people. The enemy of this government is not Moammar Khadafy; the enemy of this government is not Ahmadinejad; the enemy of this country is not Osama Bin Laden; the enemy of this country is the American people. The enemy of the Democrat Party right now in getting what they want is the American people, and that’s who they’re scheming against. And you know that, too, and that’s why you’re outraged. This is not supposed to be a banana republic. This is supposed to be a representative republic with a small R, and they’re obliterating it. They’ve been working at this for 50 years or more. Their dreams have come true. But they are overreaching and they’re getting so much public opposition now that they’re trying to figure out how to get past it and get done what they want and still maintain their power. I gotta go, Susan. Thanks for a great call.
RUSH: Internal message here to Koko up at the website. Koko, I want you to put the audio and transcript of Susan from Glendale on the free side of the website tonight. She said, “I can’t rally the nation.” Susan, you just did. My e-mail’s going nuts in here. “Thank you for letting her go on without interrupting her. Nobody else would do that.” That’s because I am a highly trained broadcast professional. … Teresa in Ithaca, New York, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Rush, what a pleasure it is to talk to you. I’ve been listening to you since day one, and it is absolutely a pleasure this afternoon to get through. I just wanted to thank you. I understand you’ve gotten many, many e-mails already for letting Susan speak her mind because her heartfelt sentiments are just echoing across the country, and it’s nice to hear somebody who is so eloquent in what she had to say and to also understand her frustration because so many of us are feeling the same way.
This is absolutely wonderful!! A must read!

CALLER: Yes, sir. And I’m not. I’m a conservative. You know what? I’m 45. I might fall and break my hip in the next ten years.

They are the party of euthanasia. They are trying to wipe out senior citizens who are maybe not as useful to the Democrat National Committee as they should be, we’re not contributing enough to them. And I am outraged and furious. And my question to you — because I’m a political nobody; I’m just out here on the Left Coast in la-la land watching all the liberals run our California state bankrupt — is: “What can we do, legally, morally, to take this country back?” I want people to stand up, and I want them to vote these criminals, these pedophiles out of office.
I want them to take back the state of California and make it a Golden State, and I want them to take back Washington. But we’re little people, and we marched two million of us down to Washington and the press — ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC — not one of them shows pictures on the news, not one of them will report anything. In fact, they cover it up! I’ve talked to so many people on the phone, just neighbors who are liberal and some of them are conservative, both sides, and I tell them these things. “Go to Fox News. Look at this.” No one sees the truth. But the travesty of all of this — part of this is politics as normal, independent, it’s two party. We’re going to fight and tussle over what’s right and wrong and, you know, we’re going to win some, lose some. But the damning thing today is that the press, the press is betraying us and we have no way — us, we be the little political moms, nobodies. I’m a mother, and I have no one to listen to, to go to on the news, except for you and Fox.
Tell us what we can do in 2010, other than voting for Sarah Palin. Which I will do. But I need to know because I don’t have much hope. I sure don’t have hope from Obama. I need hope from Rush and I want you to please tell us what we can do, because this is the life of my children. They’re on the line. They can put me out to pasture, but, yes, they’ve got me over a barrel. Because I will do anything to save the lives of my children, even if it means I’ve gotta kiss some big Democrat’s rear end to get the health care for my baby, I’ll have to do it, and that sickens me because they’re my employees. I’m paying their salaries. I’m paying for their fancy office of doctors down where you were talking about at the House of Representatives and the Senate. They just get to walk in and pay $503 and they get all the health care that they need for $503, specialists flown in.
The pharmacy right there on their hour! Probably open 24 hours a day. Nobody has to wait. They get that because I’m paying for it. I’m paying for it! It’s coming out of my children’s allowances, my grocery money. They are getting it, and they’re taking it without listening, without representing us — like you said, the small R. I’m not being represented. I’ve called Boxer’s office. I’ve called Adam Schiff who is my so-called representative. They are very polite to little people on the phone but the people who are running this country don’t listen to us. There are millions of us and we are all furious. And no one, no one is even reporting what is being said! And I’m watching my country that I love, that my father fought for in World War II, that my father-in-law was wounded and got the Purple Heart for — and I’m watching it just being taken, just like candy from a baby.
“Oh, we’ll help you. We’ll give you health care. Here’s a lollipop. Go away,” and nobody’s doing anything. I’m sorry to be so angry, but I need hope, and I need to know how to counteract these shenanigans. This is not what we put people in government for is to run little-bitty side bills, smash ‘em together, and then vote ‘em under the carpet into a different health care bill that is languishing in some committee that they haven’t voted on. That’s dirty politics and it shouldn’t be happening. It should up-and-down votes. And you’re right. The 63 new judges coming on, that’s going to cement — that’s going to absolutely cement — their ability to write law instead of legislate. They can just send it to the judges. The judges will rubber stamp it. We’ll have liberal judges, we’ll just write the law. Never mind conservatism. Never mind reading what the law actually says. I look at this, and I see this happening every day.
I’m listening to you, and I’m to the point where I don’t even know if I should listen anymore because I’m so passionate and I’m so furious to watch all this and to hear it all happening, and I feel so powerless for the first time in my life. I’m glad Mrs. Obama is proud of her country for the first time in her life. I, as a mother, as a nobody I am ashamed of my government for the first time in my life — and I need to know how to combat this, especially in 2010. What can I do today, now, to help, to revitalize these namby-pamby liberal Republican RINOs in our Senate and in our government who are just voting to get along and “I want to get reelected.” That’s nonsense. They’re not standing up for what is good and clean and right. They’re not standing up for our Constitution. They should be all thrown out, every last one of them — and I don’t know how to mobilize people, but you do, Rush. You do! You have the power. And with great gifts, God gives great responsibility. And I beg you please, please give us hope and lead us. Because this cannot stand. They cannot keep doing this. This is wrong.
RUSH: We still have Susan on the line from Glendale, California, and Susan, I was under no inclination to interrupt you or stop you, even when we got to the segment end.CALLER: I apologize.RUSH: No, don’t apologize, just the exact opposite. You summarized my first hour in ten minutes.
CALLER: Well, I like to listen to you, you’re great, and you always give us the facts.
RUSH: But you asked me what you could do.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: One thing you have to realize, you just did it. The passion and the emotion that you brought without one stutter –
CALLER: Well –
RUSH: You didn’t lose your train of thought. There was not one stutter. And I guarantee you the people in this, the largest radio audience in the country, are all out there standing up and cheering on their feet.
CALLER: You know what, Rush? I did it without a teleprompter! Or notes! So there.
RUSH: Or a writer. You didn’t have a ghostwriter.
CALLER: No, I didn’t. I have a three-year-old son, but he can’t do this. But I didn’t use a teleprompter, and I know what I’m saying, which is, I’m sorry, perhaps more than I can say for some of the people who are running our country. And it insults my intelligence. I walked away from a very good job at a law firm, I’m educated, I have a law degree, and I did it because I was promoted by God to be a mother of seven. I’m giving everything I’ve got to them. And the one thing I cannot give them, absent help from good people all over this country, I can’t give them the American way of life. I can’t give them freedom. I can’t give them that. I can teach them and that’s all I can do. But everybody’s got to stand up, and, you know what? Why don’t you make 2010 the worst nightmare ever for the Democrats. Pick up the phone, call Sarah Palin, and you two run, run in 2010. Rush and Sarah. Do it. They would go nuts. I know you couldn’t do your show every day. And I know there are not enough Democrat women like Pelosi in the Senate to give you your 30 minutes of aerobic activity because there’s no boobs to ogle like you were telling about that German study finding that 10 minutes of breast ogling helps men, but we’ll get you a treadmill in there, I’m sure the White House will have a treadmill, it’s got a basketball court now and other things and an organic garden. We’ll get you set up, we’ll keep you healthy, maybe once you judge the Miss America contest, maybe you could do that every year, and that would give you a good cardiovascular burst. And you could go ahead and run the country for four years. But we gotta do something.
RUSH: Well, one thing I want to tell you here is, you are not alone. I know you feel it, you said it –
CALLER: I do.
RUSH: — you feel you’re just a little person out there on the left coast and you’re overwhelmed by all this, but I think you should try to understand that the majority of people who pay attention to stuff in this country are with you on this. Their frustration is identical to yours.
CALLER: Yes, but they don’t know how to mobilize to do it, to stop it. We’re going to have this health care bill rammed down our throats before the election.
RUSH: Wait a second, now. I think they do. People have been mobilizing on their own. That’s one of the great things about all the tea parties and the other things going on, is there’s not an identifiable leader saying, “Go here, do that, I want you to show up.”
CALLER: I know.
RUSH: People are doing it on their own, of their own volition, their own emotion, because they’re just like you –
CALLER: I know.
RUSH: — they don’t want to lose the country, they don’t want to see it taken over, they don’t want to see it destroyed this way, especially for their children and grandchildren, and there are more of you than you know. Now, this health care thing, you talk about 2010. If they’re able to ram this through in the next couple of weeks or the next couple of months –
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: — 2010 is going to be nothing but punishment.
CALLER: I hope so.
RUSH: Now, the one thing to keep in mind here, the one thing to keep in mind is — I’m actually wrong. I need to take that back. This bill is not going to be implemented until 2013.
CALLER: Right. Right.
RUSH: So 2010 is crucial. That’s where the real change is going to come, and that’s throwing these Democrats out, as many as possible.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: Now, there are two things that I want to say to you here. The reason that 2013 is the year is because everybody in charge of this plan, from Obama to Reid and Pelosi, all the Democrats know full well there’s going to be a revolt.
CALLER: Yes. I know they know this. They’re just trying to lock it in anyway.
RUSH: Well, no –
CALLER: — because they want to secure their power.
RUSH: But 2012 is Obama’s reelection year, 2013 it gets implemented. If it got implemented before 2012 Obama would be beaten in a landslide –
CALLER: That’s right.
RUSH: — and he still may be, ACORN notwithstanding.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: The second thing here about all of these things that are happening, and you feel powerless to do anything about it, I think what’s happening throughout the country is an illustration that people are not powerless. This passion, this emotion that you represent here today that is felt by millions will have and is going to have an outlet. These techniques, the things that are being tried by the Democrats here are so against the decency and grain of the vast majority of the people in this country –
CALLER: That’s what’s offensive.
RUSH: — they’re not going to put up with it.
CALLER: I know. That’s what’s offensive –
RUSH: They aren’t going to put up with it.
CALLER: It’s not just politics as usual. It’s not, “Okay, we win some and we lose some.” This is underhanded, dirty dealing, “Okay, we’re going to vote for one bill, but we’re going to switch it, we’re going to edit it out.” It’s like a computer, you just zap it out and stick something in, but the vote doesn’t get edited. It’s virtual bills. We just get to change it. It’s outrageous. If I did this in a job, I would be fired. And yet they keep doing it and we’ve got to hold them accountable.
RUSH: And trust me, believe me, they will be.
CALLER: I know you’re right. That’s why I listen to you every day I can.
RUSH: I will tell you when it’s time to panic. And it isn’t time to panic. Panic doesn’t lead to productive action.
CALLER: True.
RUSH: I’ll tell you when it’s time. What you’re feeling right now is not even panic.
CALLER: No, it’s rage. It’s outrage.
RUSH: You are outraged and you want a positive channel for it.CALLER: Yes, I do. I want a positive way to effect and reclaim this country and to protect my children and to give them a good life.
RUSH: Here’s the second thing that I want to warn everybody against with all this passion. Because in this mix you and I haven’t discussed the Republican Party, have we?
CALLER: No, we haven’t.
RUSH: Well, let’s do that for just a second, because it’s crucial. While your rage, your outrage is properly directed at the architects of this disaster, the Democrat Party, at the same time, we don’t really see a lot of rage from our own elected representatives, do we? This is one of the reasons why –
CALLER: This is why we’re mad, ’cause they’re not outraged.
RUSH: That’s right.
CALLER: They don’t say anything, they don’t do anything.
RUSH: If you can call this radio show and in ten minutes, without one stutter, lay out the very dire threats that face this country, why in the hell can’t professional politicians stand up and say the same thing and take action to stop it?
CALLER: Amen.
RUSH: And that’s really the level of your frustration.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: Now, here’s where this is going to lead. If we’re not careful, this is going to lead people to start saying, “We need a third party.”
CALLER: No. No, no, no, no.
RUSH: Wait, hear me out. It’s going to lead to people say, “Both parties are the same, there’s no difference, Republicans and Democrats.” What we have to focus on here is taking back the Republican Party. I think there is enough rage right now, and if it sustains itself, and it will, Obama’s not going to stop any of this garbage, and the Democrats are not going to stop, so it will sustain itself.
CALLER: And we have to take back the party and revitalize it –
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: — with true conservatives.
RUSH: Exactly. That’s what has to happen. But at some point just voting against people is not enough.
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: It will be enough in 2010. But who we gonna elect in place of them? Where are the candidates going to come from?
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: I’m talking particularly now the House and the Senate. I mean you talked about the RINOs in the Senate, and there are a lot of them, and they’re scared to death of the media in Washington, they’re scared to death of being called racists, they’re scared to death of having happen to them what happens to Sarah Palin. They’re scared to death of having happen to them what happened to Joe Wilson. So they’ve got their own fear they have to overcome. They don’t understand that they’ve got an army of people. Even after all the campaign contributions Joe Wilson got, they still don’t see there’s an army of people willing to back ‘em up if they would just lead. There’s an army of people ready to follow ‘em.
CALLER: I gave Joe Wilson money. The minute he said it, the very night that he said “you lie,” I sent that guy money. And when he refused to apologize for a second time, when he’d already apologized personally to President Obama, and when he refused to do it again for the House and Senate, I sent him more money.
RUSH: Kin A'
CALLER: And that’s what we gotta do. We gotta back the people who are being leaders, and then we gotta kick out the ones who aren’t. But we can’t do a third party, we can’t do a tea party because we’ll be locked in with the Democrats, they’ll run the show because we’ll keep splitting the vote for 30 years.
RUSH: ‘Kin’ A! Exactly right. That’s going to lead to permanent victory for Democrats.
CALLER: I know! How do you tell people this? How do you say, “Whatever you do, vote conservative and get the Republican Party back.”
RUSH: Okay, we’re always going to have Perotistas.
CALLER: Yes, I remember him.
RUSH: All you gotta say to them, “Have you ever heard of Bill Clinton?”
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: You ever heard of Bill Clinton?
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: That’s something coming in the future, but this notion that both parties are the same and we gotta throw ‘em all out, unrealistic, they’re not the same, there’s no way that any Republican would be offering any of the things the Democrats are offering right now.
CALLER: I know.
RUSH: There is simply no way.
CALLER: But there is no room for cowards in government.
RUSH: Not right now. The country’s at stake.
CALLER: If you’re going to be in government you gotta play
RUSH: The country is at stake. You’re right, this is not about the traditional back-and-forth, the policy arguments, and we come to an agreement at the end of the day, we compromise and so forth. This is about the future of the country. So I understand your frustration. Believe me, I feel it, too. You’re asking me what you can do. We’re all asking ourselves that. You know, what can we do? People are marching; people are showing up in public; calling all these people’s offices. I think it’s a waste of your time, by the way, to call Boxer. I think right now if you’re going to call anybody, call Harry Reid’s office. I don’t care whether they talk to you or not, flood ‘em, shut ‘em down, e-mail, faxes, just shut ‘em down, call Harry Reid’s Nevada’s office, he’s worried about 2010 reelection. Harry Reid is about to have happen to him what happened to Tom Daschle. You call Harry Reid, don’t waste your time on Pelosi. Call Steny Hoyer. Call some of the Blue Dogs and moderates and so forth, because, I’ll tell you, these people, their political futures are up for grabs as well, the Blue Dog Democrats in the House.
But Harry Reid, you know, he’s the guy that’s the architect, along with Obama, of the shenanigans going on in the Senate right now. And, by the way, she spelled it out perfectly. If you didn’t hear the first hour, she gave you the summary of it pretty well, how they’re planning to attach two Senate health care bills to a House bill that the Senate has not yet acted on, on taxing bonuses. They’re basically going to attach a hybrid health care bill to the Senate version of the tax on bonuses bill and send that back to the House and have them vote on that with health care, single payer, public option health care being an amendment to a bill on taxing bonuses. And then they send that right up to Obama. Now, Susan, that’s not guaranteed. For this to happen, Pelosi and the House have to go along with whatever Harry Reid sends ‘em and not amend it and not add to it or take away from it, and you know, by the time the Congressional Black Caucus and some of the wacko leftists in the House get a look at the Senate bill, if it doesn’t have all the giveaways in it that they want, it could get screwed up. But this is the attempt going on, and this is how it would be done with 51 votes instead of 60, which is required in the Senate.
All of this is a tantamount admission that the American people don’t want it; it’s a tantamount admission they can’t pass it with public support and what that means is that they are scheming against the American people. The enemy of this government is not Moammar Khadafy; the enemy of this government is not Ahmadinejad; the enemy of this country is not Osama Bin Laden; the enemy of this country is the American people. The enemy of the Democrat Party right now in getting what they want is the American people, and that’s who they’re scheming against. And you know that, too, and that’s why you’re outraged. This is not supposed to be a banana republic. This is supposed to be a representative republic with a small R, and they’re obliterating it. They’ve been working at this for 50 years or more. Their dreams have come true. But they are overreaching and they’re getting so much public opposition now that they’re trying to figure out how to get past it and get done what they want and still maintain their power. I gotta go, Susan. Thanks for a great call.
RUSH: Internal message here to Koko up at the website. Koko, I want you to put the audio and transcript of Susan from Glendale on the free side of the website tonight. She said, “I can’t rally the nation.” Susan, you just did. My e-mail’s going nuts in here. “Thank you for letting her go on without interrupting her. Nobody else would do that.” That’s because I am a highly trained broadcast professional. … Teresa in Ithaca, New York, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Rush, what a pleasure it is to talk to you. I’ve been listening to you since day one, and it is absolutely a pleasure this afternoon to get through. I just wanted to thank you. I understand you’ve gotten many, many e-mails already for letting Susan speak her mind because her heartfelt sentiments are just echoing across the country, and it’s nice to hear somebody who is so eloquent in what she had to say and to also understand her frustration because so many of us are feeling the same way.
RUSH: Exactly right. And it would be great if every Republican member of Congress and the Senate could hear that call. We might find a way to make that happen, but it will be on the free side at RushLimbaugh.com when we update this afternoon.
H/T to Political Integrity Now
Liberals, Race Baiting and Ugly Politics
Alright, here it is. I am so sick of the liberals resorting to the mantra, you are a racist if you disagree with Obama. Jimmy Carter, Maureen Dowd, and Bill Cosby accused people who disagree with Obama and his policies, as being racists. I think that the nut, Jimmy Carter needs to join all the nuts at his peanut farm. I believe he'll be in good company. Dowd makes words up to incite racial tensions. Bill Cosby is usually above the fray with regard to race baited politics, but for some reason he decided to cash in on the stupidity of falsely accusing those of us who are against Obama's political policies as being racist, or being racially motivated. If you go by what liberals refer to as racism, then you could conclude that every black person who disagreed with George Bush was a racist as well. Now, I don't believe that. It seems to me that liberals are coming unraveled due to Obama's policies being dead in the water. We are all Americans. Conservatives disagree with liberals and vice versa, but none of this involves racism. This has nothing to do with race. These prominent liberals must stop this race baiting. This encouragement of devisiveness must stop!! Americans are created equal.
Here is an article by Gil Troy: Playing The Race Card Makes for Ugly Politics
Barack Obama's election to the presidency was supposed to usher in a new, more mature era of race relations, but it could not evoke nirvana. There's a growing chorus complaining that this summer's hostility to his stimulus package, to his health-care reform and to Mr. Obama himself is racist.
I think it's based on racism. There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president,” former president Jimmy Carter said, clearly forgetting the euphoria when Americans elected a black president.
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd said she heard “an unspoken word in the air” when Republican Representative Joe Wilson shouted “You lie!” during the President's speech to Congress last week: “You lie, boy!” She also located Mr. Obama “at the center of a period of racial turbulence sparked by his ascension.” In fact, Mr. Obama is at the center of a political storm sparked by his leadership – as all presidents have been.
American politics is a contact sport. The long, rich tradition of American centrism does not negate the equally long colorful tradition of American mudslinging and partisanship. It is unfair and itself divisive to impute racial motives to Mr. Obama's opponents without evidence. The shrill opposition reflects the high stakes surrounding the current debate, Americans' enduring ambivalence about big government and the ugly way modern politics plays out in the media, within the blogosphere and on the streets.

Continuing My College Journey
Hello To All My fellow internet friends:
Today, was my first day of classes at Robert Morris University in Moon Township, PA. I went to the community college in Pittsburgh last semester and decided to continue my college journey this semester. I am taking three classes this semester. I am taking Principles in Macroeconomics and have no idea how this course is going to be, but its a requirement so I must take it. I am taking The Developing World which is a history course, and after attending the first class seems like it will be quite interesting. Tomorrow I will attend my first class of Comparative Contemporary Political Systems. This sounds like it could be an interesting course as well. I will be continuing with my sociology degree or as this college calls it Social Science degree. Since I have both a burning passion for politics and just absolutely love politics I have decided that my concentration is going to be in government.
I am very much looking forward to attending Robert Morris University this semester. I hope to find a job with more hours soon, also. So, I will probably not be posting quite as often as I have been lately.

Jon Voight Speaks Out Again
I must say Jon Voight is outstanding!!! He is a wonderful actor who just happens to be a great conservative voice in these tumultuous times. He is willing to speak up against Obama and the liberals. He stands up for everyone's freedom and says we must all stand up for the Constitution and not let out rights be trampled on by Obama and the Democrats. Voight tells it like it is and doesn't pull an punches. That is what I love most about him. Jon Voight has acted in such T.V. shows and movies as: Gunsmoke, Enemy of the State, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, National Treasure, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, An American Carol, 24: Redemption, Episodes of season 7 of 24, and many more. If you haven't seen An American Carol, That is an absolutely hilarious conservative movie that pokes fun at liberals. It had me laughing so hard that I almost fell out of my seat at the movie theater. I highly recommend that every conservative watch this movie. It is certainly a rare find.
I loved Jon Voight's speech at the GOP Senate Dinner so,
I have decided to re-post it.
ENJOY!
In Jon Voight's latest article he raises the question: Is Obama Creating a Civil War in America?
Jon Voight will be joining Hannity at two Freedom Concerts this weekend. He will be honoring fallen soldiers and will present college scholarships to surviving children.
Voight says "We are witnessing a slow, steady takeover of our true freedoms. We are becoming a socialist nation, and whoever can't see this is probably hoping it isn't true. If we permit Mr. Obama to take over all our industries, if we permit him to raise our taxes to support unconstitutional causes, then we will be in default. This great America will become a paralyzed nation."
Voight even advises, BE OUTRAGED!!

Voight even advises, BE OUTRAGED!!
"Do not let the Obama administration fool you with all their cunning Alinsky methods. And if you don't know what that method is, I implore you to get the book 'Rules for Radicals,' by Saul Alinsky. Mr. Obama is very well trained in these methods," he continues, citing a television campaign critical of the Republican Party and contentious town-hall meetings about health care reform.
"The real truth is that the Obama administration is professional at bullying, as we have witnessed with ACORN at work during the presidential campaign. It seems to me they are sending down their bullies to create fist fights among average American citizens who don't want a government-run health care plan forced upon them," Mr. Voight says. "So I ask again. Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country?"
What a great warrior!!
I hope we conservatives follow his lead and listen to his advice.
BE OUTRAGED!!
My Response to Liberal Blogger Project Savior
A few weeks ago, I commented on one of Eye of Polyphemus posts called Bill Maher's Mistakes About American Thinking and ended up engaging in a discussion with a liberal blogger named Project Savior.
Project Savior's Comment:
Ok, I have to ask.
In what part of the interview you posted does Maher say anything against Christians?
But as far as the dumb Americans comment how about these examples:
Birthers
Tea-Baggers
Anti-Evolutionists
Climate Change Deniers
I'm just saying.
My comment consisted of:
Great posting!!
Maher is trying to have it both ways. Although, I agree that anyone that voted for Obama must be either stupid or have been completely oblivious during the presidential election.
Project Savior,
Did you think people that protested against the Iraq War were dumb?
Or Libs that protest outside of military funerals?
First, Obama could lay the birthers' concerns all to rest by releasing his long-form birth certificate to the public. He has NOT done so. Even Lou Dobbs says that should happen. Believe me I know from my own personal experience with bureaucrats that a certificate of live birth is not the same as a birth certificate.
By the way if they were really tea-baggers you would probably be cheering all the homosexuals on for their freedom of expression.
Just go ahead and believe everything you hear and go along with the status quo regarding with regard to evolution and climate change even though the facts support the opposite position.
The Tea Party attendees are protesting this outrageous govt. spending that is going on in Washington.
Well, after a few days, on August 1, Project Savior responded to my question/comment with a posting on the Project Savior website.
First, he is highly mistaken that Fred Phelp's group is conservative or in any way Christian. These are kooks and very much outside of the mainstream.
In fact Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church is a Registered Democrat-NOT A REPUBLICAN
And to me, in today's day and age for the most part I consider Liberal and Democrat are synonymous with one another.
1) Phelps has run in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times, but has never won.
2)Phelps supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic Party primary election.
3)In 1989, his eldest son, Fred Jr., hosted a fundraiser for Gore's Senate campaign at his home.
Later on Phelps ended up opposing Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton due to their support for gay rights.
Fred Phelps, registered Democrat, organizer of Democratic activities and fund-raiser for Al Gore and Bill Clinton, also criticized the invasion of Iraq, sent a warm letter to Saddam Hussein full of compliments for his regime while asking for (and receiving) permission to send protesters against the coming Iraq invasion, and he claimed that the U.S. deserved September 11th (and that London deserved the recent bombings). In 2003, before the fall of Saddam Hussein during the Iraq War, Phelps wrote Hussein a letter praising his regime for being, in his opinion, "the only Muslim state that allows the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to be freely and openly preached on the streets."
Project Savior's Comment:
Ok, I have to ask.
In what part of the interview you posted does Maher say anything against Christians?
But as far as the dumb Americans comment how about these examples:
Birthers
Tea-Baggers
Anti-Evolutionists
Climate Change Deniers
I'm just saying.
My comment consisted of:
Great posting!!
Maher is trying to have it both ways. Although, I agree that anyone that voted for Obama must be either stupid or have been completely oblivious during the presidential election.
Project Savior,
Did you think people that protested against the Iraq War were dumb?
Or Libs that protest outside of military funerals?

Fred Phelps is both a nut and a Kook - A Left-Wing Kook
In Project Savior's deranged mind, he equates actors and actresses being cast in movies that have guns in them, as being pro-gun. Using his example - he thinks actresses/actors playing roles in The Matrix means that these actors/actresses are pro-gun because they played in the movie, The Matrix.

Conservative/Liberal Divorce Agreement
This Law Student said it very well:
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, etal:
We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
We equitably divide up the country into two equal landmasses. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure we can come to a friendly agreement. In the spirit of cooperation, you can have California , NYC and Lower NY State, Eastern PA, DC, South FL and Miami , Chicago , Detroit , and all of New England for starters. After that it should be relatively easy to divvy up the rest.
You can set taxes just as high as you want---take it all in fact! We'll probably keep ours real low to encourage individual enterprise. You are welcome to keep all the liberal judges, ACORN, ACT UP, the NAACP, and the ACLU.
Since you hate guns and war, we'll be happy to keep our firearms, the NRA, and all of the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O'Donnell.
We'll keep capitalism, corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. You can have your beloved green ecofriendly nonsense schemes, the homeless, homeboys, hippies, and illegal aliens.
We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, non Ivy League graduates, and rednecks. You can keep Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dodd, Boxer, Waters, the Clintons, and all of the Kennedy tribe. You can also have ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Hollywood .
You can make nice with Al Queida, the Taliban, Hamas , Iran , North Korea , Hugo Chavez and all the other organizations, countries, and people who want to annihilate you. You can also have all the peaceniks, and war protesters. We'll retain the right to invade and hammer any country, organization or individual that threatens us.
When our allies are under assault, we'll help provide them security. You can have the U.N.
You are also welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, and Shirley McClain. We'll probably stick mostly with the same old Judeo-Christian beliefs.
Knowing your concerns about human impacts on the environment, in your part of the country you can overcome the problem of excess population by outlawing heterosexual marriages. We'll just go on letting men and women marry indiscriminately.We'll keep the pigs, chickens, goats and cattle since you don't like meat anyway. You can have ALL the tofu, seaweed, algae, lentils, and soy messes you adore.
We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon, Prius, and hybrid vehicle you can find-and your recumbent bicycles.
You will be able to give everyone in your part of the country healthcare, if you can find any practicing doctors who want to live there .
We'll keep the Star Spangled Banner. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Te ach the World to Sing, Kumbaya, or We Are the World.
And since it often so offends you, we'll keep the flag. We'll practice "trickle down" economics, and you can give socialism and trickle up poverty your best shot.
But remember: We will no longer be contributing toward paying your bills.
If you will agree to this draft settlement please pass it along to other like minded liberals, and let's get started on an amicable divorce ASAP!!!!!!!!!
In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you 50 offshore drilling rigs which one of us will need whose help in 5 years.
P.S. Almost forgot, please take Woody Allen, Alec Baldwin, Barbara Streisand, Susan Sarandon & Jane Fonda

Freedom of Speech Went the Hell Out the Window
Freedom of Speech Went the Hell Out the Window
Mall Politics at its worst: The Liberals have taken over one North Carolina Mall and made it known that it forbids any freedom-loving, pro-America, anti-Obama, Christian and conservative ideas in this Simon Mall.
NO OPPOSING POINTS OF VIEW AT THIS MALL
The only conservative anti-Obama company's kiosk is getting kicked out of the Concord Mills Mall in North Carolina
"Free market Warrior" gets kicked outta Mall for at least one passerby that complained about these so-called racist
and bigoted bumper stickers.
The owner, Loren Spivack, says these bumper stickers and
posters are meant to be "biting" :
1)“Impeach Obama. “
2)“Al Qaeda’s favorite days: 9/11/01 and 11/04/08.”
3)“Work Harder. Obama needs the money.”
These are not racist sayings!! In fact, I think there totally hilarious. But, the Liberal who owns Simon Malls kicked out the only conservative kiosk that expressed a different point-of-view. I guess the socialist or communists have entered this country and are starting to take over our malls all across this country.
"The kiosk chain’s owner shared e-mail correspondence with Newschannel 36 that explains that the mall management has decided that the items sold are not “neutral” enough. The lease will be allowed to expire July 31, 2009 without an option to renew."
Excuse me. . .
What would a left-wing extremist like Melvin Simon consider "neutral?"
Probably, anything promoting a leftist agenda that says F**k America
Anything that promotes murdering innocent unborn babies
Anything that is Anti-Military
Anything that promotes a Communist/Socialist government
This stinks. . .
Melvin Simon has provided large political contributions to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Al Franken, John Edwards, the DNC and many other Democrats and Democrat organizations.
The blue tinted fog fills the air with an awful stench . . .
Melvin Simon is the same person who shut down the Atlanta Tea Party. The Tea Party was going to be held at a parking lot next to Gwinnett Mall in Atlanta, which just happens to be a Simon Mall. This man was so sneaky and evil that he didn't give the tea party organizers notice until it was too late to find another location.
I pledge that I will not enter a SIMON MALL(unless forced to under duress) in the United States of America. I refuse to support the socialists of America who are tearing down our right to free speech.
Hasn't the owner of Simon Malls heard of the 1st Amendment? Obviously the guy doesn't give a rats a$$ about the freedom of speech. Or he's another Liberal who thinks that the freedom of speech only applies to Liberals. Well, Dammit it doesn't. It applies to EVERYONE!!! I am sick of the hypocrisy of the Left!!! Now it is time to rebel or fight back with everyone holding back their money from supporting this corrupt enterprise called SIMON MALLS.
So now, are conservatives going to have to start up and build their own malls to counteract the culture of corruption within the liberal malls? This Liberal takeover MUST BE STOPPED!!!!
So I say Freedom of Speech has been shattered to Pieces!
Now, we conservatives must fight to put these pieces back together.

ABC, Obama, and Health Care -- A Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy
In an article written by Jennifer Harper of The Washington Times on Friday June, 19, 2009, she writes about the 60-minute ABC program, to air live from the White House on Wednesday.
Is there a conflict of interest in ABC doing this hour long feature promoting Obama’s health care reform? YES
Here is one example:
“ABC employees gave 80 times as much money to Mr. Obama's 2008 campaign for president than to his rival's. According to an analysis of campaign donations by the Center for Responsive Politics, conducted at The Times' request, ABC employees in several divisions donated $124,421 to the Obama campaign, compared with $1,550 to the presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain.”
ABC is not allowing any airing of opposing views or which offer a different viewpoint during ABC’s hour at the White House. ABC has become the propaganda machine for the White House. Does ABC have some stake in promoting the President’s health care plan? There is talk that if ABC helps Obama then ABC will get a bailout from Obama, if they need one. If that is true, then I believe that the relationship that ABC news and Obama has in ABC promoting his health care reform is a probably one of the biggest conflicts of interest in history. Obama has stated that he will consider all suggestions and all other health care reform proposals brought before him . By him not allowing any alternate views on health care reform during this ABC hour at the White House, and not allowing the American people to hear different options during this town hall question-and-answer session, the President is sending the opposite message. Both ABC and Obama are sending a clear message that it must be the Obama health care plan or else. What happened to giving the American people an opportunity to hear all the options regarding health care that are on the table? What happened to giving Americans choice? Or do the Democrats only promote that agenda when its in line with their agenda and when convenient for them, like in the case of abortion. Forevermore, since ABC news has become the propaganda machine for the White House, it shall be renamed the ALL Barack Channel. Under Obama, this is becoming the land of forcing stuff down your throat and not letting you get all the facts, only the positive facts that Obama wants to give you, but not the whole truth.
“Denied a chance to question Mr. Obama on his policy or buy advertising time on the program, Republicans said ABC denied them equal time for the town-hall-style event, accusing the network of turning "its entire programming over to President Obama and his big-government agenda," RNC Chairman Michael S. Steele said in the organization's second public letter to the network in 48 hours.”
According to Harper, “An informal online poll at the New York Daily News on Thursday found that 75 percent of the respondents did not "trust" ABC to provide even-handed coverage.”
"ABC is in bed with their source, so to speak. ABC is supposed to be a news organization, not a producer of infomercials for national health care. And I wonder what they would have done if the Bush administration had asked for positive programming to support the war on terror or Social Security initiatives," said Dan Gainor, BMI vice president of business and culture.
Ted Devine, a Democratic strategist, says that he detected the vast right-wing conspiracy from Republicans. I guess if you call wanting more than one option presented to the American people regarding health care reform a vast right-wing conspiracy, then the GOP and conservatives are guilty. The GOP actually wants to present more options to the American people other than the one option which would be clearly a government-run health care system. The government has underestimated costs and screwed up anything and everything to do with government from social security to welfare. What makes you think that the President’s projected costs for his health care proposal are correct? Do we really want a single-payer health care system? Does Obama want the U.S.’s health care to look like Canada or England? These countries have long lines and patients must even wait for much needed life saving medical procedures. I believe that Obama’s health care plan must be stopped!!!! If Obama’s health care reform proposal is passed through Congress I believe that this will be the death of the greatest health care in the world -American health care.
Yes, I do believe that the health care industry does need some kind of overhaul. I do not think that government-run health care is the answer. I do believe that the cost of health care services must be reduced. Health care professionals must stop being beholden to the private insurance companies. I believe that if the Democrats get their way, then physicians will be subservient to the government and whether the government will approve a medical procedure based on the cost effectiveness of the procedure., and not based on whether the patient actually needs the medical procedure or not.
Is this an example of the vast left-wing conspiracy?
Is there a conflict of interest in ABC doing this hour long feature promoting Obama’s health care reform? YES
Here is one example:
“ABC employees gave 80 times as much money to Mr. Obama's 2008 campaign for president than to his rival's.

And I wonder what they would have done if the Bush administration had asked for positive programming to support the war on terror or Social Security initiatives," said Dan Gainor, BMI vice president of business and culture.
Ted Devine, a Democratic strategist, says that he detected the vast right-wing conspiracy from Republicans. I guess if you call wanting more than one option presented to the American people regarding health care reform a vast right-wing conspiracy, then the GOP and conservatives are guilty. The GOP actually wants to present more options to the American people other than the one option which would be clearly a government-run health care system. The government has underestimated costs and screwed up anything and everything to do with government from social security to welfare. What makes you think that the President’s projected costs for his health care proposal are correct? Do we really want a single-payer health care system? Does Obama want the U.S.’s health care to look like Canada or England? These countries have long lines and patients must even wait for much needed life saving medical procedures. I believe that Obama’s health care plan must be stopped!!!! If Obama’s health care reform proposal is passed through Congress I believe that this will be the death of the greatest health care in the world -American health care.
Yes, I do believe that the health care industry does need some kind of overhaul. I do not think that government-run health care is the answer. I do believe that the cost of health care services must be reduced. Health care professionals must stop being beholden to the private insurance companies. I believe that if the Democrats get their way, then physicians will be subservient to the government and whether the government will approve a medical procedure based on the cost effectiveness of the procedure., and not based on whether the patient actually needs the medical procedure or not.
Is this an example of the vast left-wing conspiracy?
Sotomayor:"Physiological Differences" ?!? It Looks A Lot Like Racism
Sonia Sotomayor gave this speech at a University of California at Berkeley Law School Raising the Bar Symposium. The symposium was specifically called, "The Bar: Latino and Latina Presence in Judiciary and the Struggle for Representation."
These are Judge Sotomayor‘s words in complete context. “Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences, a possibility I abhor less or discount less than my colleague Judge Cedarbaum, our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging. Justice O’Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases. I am not so sure Justice O’Connor is the author of that line since Professor Resnik attributes that line to Supreme Court Justice Coyle. I am also not so sure that I agree with the statement. First, as Professor Martha Minnow has noted, there can never be a universal definition of wise. Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”
Sotomayor’s words in context are clearly much worse than the one line that was being reported by news networks. According to this statement there are implications that Sotomayor thinks that whether a Latina woman had experience or not, because of the inherent physiological and cultural differences that a Latina woman has, that would automatically make her decisions better than a white male’s decisions. This statement presents major problems with how this judicial philosophy would effect her judicial decisions. Would her decisions always favor a Latina woman or a woman with inherent physiological and cultural characteristics? If a white man had the reverse of this statement than his nomination would have been dead in the water? Is there a double standard in our society? Does society today allow for reverse discrimination? Does society by allowing or accepting reverse discrimination think that two wrongs make a right? Citizens’ in the United States should not be advocating for any form of racism. Racism is inherently wrong no matter who it is directed toward.

Regarding National Security:Obama Blames and Cheney Fires Back
While President Obama claims that he wants to move forward and look to the future he is continually focusing on the past and playing the blame game. Obama has an obsession of pointing out how he wants to distance and differentiate himself from Bush administration policies. At every possible chance Pres.Obama criticizes the Bush administration and loves making a theatrical scene while promoting himself at the same time. Today, Dick Cheney took the opportunity to defend the Bush administration foreign policy decisions. Cheney even had the courage to challenge President Obama on much of his foreign policy rhetoric and claimed that Obama is putting politics before national security.
Cheney gave a very moving speech with an account of where he was and how he was touched and changed on September 11,2001. Cheney expressed how he and others' in the Bush administration realized that they had an obligation to protect Americans and prevent another terrorist attack from happening on U.S. soil again.
Cheney said:
"Part of our responsibility, as we saw it, was not to forget the terrible harm that had been done to America … and not to let 9/11 become the prelude to something much bigger and far worse.That attack itself was, of course, the most devastating strike in a series of terrorist plots carried out against Americans at home and abroad...and then the hijackings of 9/11, and all the grief and loss we suffered on that day.
Nine-eleven caused everyone to take a serious second look at threats that had been gathering for a while, and enemies whose plans were getting bolder and more sophisticated. Throughout the 90s, America had responded to these attacks, if at all, on an ad hoc basis. The first attack on the World Trade Center was treated as a law enforcement problem, with everything handled after the fact - crime scene, arrests, indictments, convictions, prison sentences, case closed.That's how it seemed from a law enforcement perspective, at least - but for the terrorists the case was not closed. For them, it was another offensive strike in their ongoing war against the United States. And it turned their minds to even harder strikes with higher casualties. Nine-eleven made necessary a shift of policy, aimed at a clear strategic threat - what the Congress called "an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States." From that moment forward, instead of merely preparing to round up the suspects and count up the victims after the next attack, we were determined to prevent attacks in the first place."
As many Americans look back and ponder which of the Bush foreign policies including enhanced interrogation techniques worked or didn't work, whether they were justified or not, and whether any of these techniques constitute torture or not; we as Americans while in deep thought must remember the great threat Americans faced on Sept.11,2001.
I believe unless a person has actually has been in President Bush's shoes, or Cheney's shoes in having to deal with the aftermath of 9/11, in which these two officials knew that they had to protect Americans from another terrorist attack, a person would not know for sure exactly how they would have reacted being given the chance to be in that same exact situation. I believe No person has the right to judge the Bush administration in that regard. Even President Obama was not acting there as commander-in-chief on that tragic day, so how can he really know how he would have reacted had it actually been him who was commander-in-chief on that tragic day?
What gives a person the moral authority to judge others' when we have no idea what the "true" intentions of our commander-in-Chief consisted of after 9/11 happened? I believe Bush's interests were in acting for the good of the country in order to keep us safe from another terrorist attack. So, I believe we should give him the benefit of the doubt instead of judging him and others in the Bush administration harshly.
Yesterday, Obama said that the United States reacted out of fear. I know for me, when 9/11 happened that brought fear to the forefront. Were you afraid after 9/11 happened? I think fear in that circumstance was the most natural response a person could have had. As a United States citizen I feared that another attack would happen on U.S. soil. In reaction to this real, imminent and grave threat against the United States the Bush administration felt the need to stop the terrorists over in the mideast before the terrorists entered the United States.
For a President who wants to distance himself as much as possible from the previous administration, Obama, contrary to his mantra, has adopted many of Bush's foreign policy positions. He has adopted re-instating military tribunals, The Patriot Act, Wire Tapping, Iraq and Guantanomo just to name a few. I encourage you to read an article By Charles Krauthammer which includes more information on this topic.
President Obama even reserves the right to use or request the use of these enhaned interrogation techniques when necessary for the safety of our country. If he truly categorically rejects the use of enhanced interrogation techniques and believes that the Bush administration was taking the low road than why is he reserving the right to make use of these very same techniques?
I think that former President Bush and his administration deserve the benefit of the doubt in that they loved the United States so much as to want to do everything necessary to prevent another terrorist attack. That is exactly what happened for the past 7 or so years. I just am thankful that President Obama is adopting many of the same policies of the Bush administration. I say to everyone, let us hope and pray that all things necessary are enacted from henceforth in order to prevent another future terrorist attack.

You Might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF. . . .
You Might be a Left-Wing Extremist if. . . .
During the last week or so I have been thinking about how our government is targeting and labeling citizens who have religious beliefs and believe in the sanctity of human life for both the born and unborn, as right-wing extremists. Here is something I created a set of sayings that is a combination of the truth and a spin-off of Jeff Foxworthy’s You might be a redneck if.. In response I would like to call out the left-wing extremists:
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist If…You believe in socialism.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist If…You believe in rewarding the poor for doing nothing.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF… like Janeane Garofalo you hate rednecks.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF…You believe in paying higher taxes and rewarding a wasteful government.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF…You believe in tea bagging, while mocking the tea party protesters.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF… You believe in unrestricted abortion which kills innocent unborn children.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF… You watch Keith Olbermann.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF… You believe in the Hollywood way of life.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF… You ascribe to the “green” movement, global warming hysteria, and want to raise utility prices sky high.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF… You belong to Moveon.org.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF… You like George Soros.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF… You listen to Air America.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF…You like hanging out with the America’s enemies and acting like they are our allies.
You might be a Left-Wing Extremist IF… You believe an adulterous husband should have the right to starve and dehydrate his comatose wife to death.
Since our government has chosen to target conservatives who are law abiding citizens, I have chosen to call out on the left-wing extremists which may include segments of our government as well.
