The race to replace Obama begins


The field of prospective candidates who are seeking the Republican nomination to challenge Barrack Obama is growing. Just yesterday Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, announced his intention to run. Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, has also formally announced his candidacy.

There are others who are in the mix, so to speak, but have yet to make a formal announcement. They include Herman Cain (who will make an announcement concerning his candidacy on May 21), businessman and former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza; Ron Paul, Congressman from Texas; Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico; Tim Pawlenty, former governor of Minnesota; Rick Santorum, former Senator from Pennsylvania; Mitch Daniels, current governor of Indiana (term expires in 2012); Michele Bachmann, current Congresswoman from Minnesota; and probably about that many more who are still in the “thinking stages of a decision.”

The field is good and strong. Many of these great potential candidates would make a wonderful President. What we don’t need is for any of them to start attacking fellow Republicans.

If a candidate wants to stand out from the crowd, give us the reasons you believe you are the best and not reasons someone else shouldn’t be the nominee for the Republican Party. Attacks on fellow Republicans can backfire and be used against Republicans in the general election. By the way, this rule of thumb is also valid in state and local races. Don’t attack those with which you have the most in common.

The bottom line is it would be difficult to find ANY Republican who would do more harm to this great nation than our current President. Let’s all hope we choose wisely and elect a strong candidate who can put an end to the Socialistic agenda of the Obama Administration.

Feminism and Sharia Law

As a woman who went to college in the late 1960s and early 70s, I am no stranger to the Women’s Rights movement. While Conservative even in college, I did recognize the fact that women in the United States were capable citizens who could probably excel at most occupations (including President of the United States) . I also joked that I didn’t need to be equal – I was happy being better!

As David and I were raising our five daughters and one son, we held to the notion that all kids were equal; there were no ‘boy’ chores or ‘girl’ chores. David took time to teach all the basics of home repair and I taught all to cook.

Today women, especially here in the United States, have achieved much. Gone are the days when women went to college to either become a teacher or a nurse or simply get her MRS degree (for you youngsters – that meant she went not to get an education but to snag a husband).

Now our nation is faced with an increasing encroachment of Sharia Law in our country. Sharia Law is the guide practiced by Muslims and based on Islam. It addresses everything from religious practices to financial transactions to interactions between Muslims and non-Muslims. Sharia Law, strictly practiced, allows for and even advocates punishment, including death, for disobedience.

One of the most grievous sins, according to Sharia Law, is unlawful sexual intercourse. This can be interpreted many ways and can even be simply a woman talking to a man she is not related to. Punishment is severe and can take the form of public caning or even “honor killing.”

Other Sharia Law affronts to feminism include female genital mutilation, polygamy, little girls given in marriage, divorce laws where women have no rights, and also property laws where women have no rights.

One might assume that such laws will never become a problem in the United States. That would be a dangerous assumption. Just recently a Florida judge defended his decision to apply Islamic law instead of state and federal statues in determining an arbitration award.

We, as a nation and as women, must fight this trend. We don’t need “multiculturalism;” we need some good old-fashioned commonsense. Most feminists will tell you the Liberals will fight for women’s rights but in reality, the Liberals will first fight for this stupid idea of “multiculturalism.”

Wake up, women. Read the news. Sharia Law has undermined the position of women in Western Europe and it is on its way here.

Obama on war - then and now

Political cartoonist Gary Varvel has captured the situation perfectly in his cartoon of March 23, 2011.

Candidate and Senator Obama criticized President Bush for using military action against Iraq in 2007. Now President Obama finds himself in the same situation. We will have to wait and see if his own party will back him or turn on him.

Tired of the hypocrisy of the Liberals

I don’t know about you but I am very tired of being lectured to by Liberals.

They tell us to “reduce our carbon footprint” as they fly around the country in their private jets. They would be a little easier to listen to if they reduced THEIR carbon footprint and lived in small houses, grew their own vegetables, or allowed wind farms in their neighborhoods.

They tell us to “share the wealth” as they parade around in designer outfits with million dollar jewelry and accessories. I might believe they want to share THEIR wealth if they invited the homeless to live with their families, opened a soup kitchen in their garage, or donated half their wealth to charity.

They tell us we need to “stand up for the working class” while their own domestic help works long hours for less than minimum wages. If they had ever done any manual labor on their own, this would not seem so hypocritical. Just guessing but probably not many politicians, movie stars, or sports heroes even clean their own toilets.

They tell us we need to “practice civility” as they scream epitaphs at anyone who would dare disagree with their own narrow view of the world.

They tell us to “be accepting and tolerant” of all cultures and beliefs as they deride and make fun of Christianity, the Tea Party, and Conservative Women.

They call us “racist” for daring to disagree with any Liberal who is black yet they themselves will call a black Conservative every nasty name in the book.

They demand “neutrality” in the news but rarely are Conservatives viewed in a positive manner in the media.

They cry “foul” when a Conservative governor tries to balance a state’s budget with tough tactics yet they manage to cram ObamaCare down our throats with back door deals that would make the late Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago look transparent.

And the really sad part of all of this and more is that the Liberals will continue with all this because they can’t see past their own wants – regardless if it is what the majority wants.

Biden as President?

With all his gaffes, profanity, and down right stupid responses to just about every thing, must of us do not want to see Joe Biden ever become President.

Do Unions care about ALL workers or just increasing Union ranks?

We have all heard the news stories coming out of Wisconsin and Indiana.

Both states are in a serious financial crisis. Both states have Republican Governors who are trying to rein in costs. Both states have seen Democratic legislators fleeing to neighboring states and shirking responsibilities rather than staying in the Statehouse and trying to work on the situation.

One of the biggest areas of contention is just how much will the Unions be willing to give in order to save a state from going bankrupt. So far, the Unions , especially the public sector Unions, have been unwilling to give even a little.

In light of the above, I found the following figures interesting:

  • $125 Billion – Possible deficit total for all the states in the United States for the next fiscal year
  • $200 Million – How much Unions spent last year to try to keep the Democrats in control of the U.S. Congress

Let's talk racism

For years now we have been hearing talk of racism.

  • Anyone who decided not to vote for Senator Barrack Obama was a racist.
  • Once President Obama was elected, anyone who disagreed with him was a racist.
  • After the health care bill, “ObamaCare,” was shoved down our throats, those who dared to say “repeal” were declared racist.

But where are the cries of racism when a black Conservative is attacked?

On Friday, February 11, 2011, Herman Cain gave a speech before the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C. It was a moving and powerful speech but unless you happen to subscribe to non-traditional news feeds, you probably missed it as it was not even mentioned by the Main Stream Media (MSM).

A few way liberal bloggers did pick up on it though and their attacks were vicious. Every nasty, negative thing you can imagine was thrown at Mr. Cain and did so using extremely racist labels to describe this true Conservative. If you want to read the stuff, it is not that hard to find but I refuse to give them a link on this site.

So who is Herman Cain? He is a black man from Georgia, raised by hard working parents who believed that the American Dream is achieved through education. He has a mathematics degree from Morehouse College and a Masters in Computer Science from Purdue University.

Cain worked his way up the corporate ladder at Coca-Cola before moving to Pillsbury and becoming their youngest Vice President ever. He would later resign that ‘cushy’ position and switch to Pillsbury’s restaurant division, first with Burger King (where he did it all from cleaning toilets to flipping burgers to managing stores) and later with Godfather’s Pizza where he was the CEO.

It was at Godfather’s where Cain rose to prominence, taking the company from the brink of bankruptcy to a successful chain with hundreds of locations.

Because of his work at Godfather’s, Cain was elected chairman of the National Restaurant Association and later became its full-time President and CEO.

Cain hosts a radio talk show in Atlanta, is married to his college sweetheart, and has two grown children. He is currently considering a run at the White House in 2012.

It is so wrong to attack a person based on the color of their skin regardless of the politics. However, the left must feel extremely threatened by the likes of Herman Cain and Col. Allen West based on the undeserved negative attention they are getting.

And I thought the attacks on Conservative women were vicious!

Bias and Hatred Against Conservative Women

Conservative women in the national spotlight seem to be the target of a great deal of hatred from those on the left.

In the 2008 Presidential campaign, John McCain, the Republican nominee, selected Sarah Palin, then Governor of Alaska, to be his running mate. The words were hardly out of McCain’s mouth before the attacks began. Governor Palin was vilified in the press as being stupid, uninformed on national issues, and an airhead. I’m not really sure why other than those attacking must have felt threatened to go after her so viciously. She was misquoted as saying “I can see Russia from my house” (that was a Saturday Night Live skit.) Her intelligence was questioned (she has a Bachelors degree in journalism.) In fact, just about every area of her life was examined, ridiculed, and trashed including her private life.

Let’s just compare her in just a few areas to the man that did become Vice-President, Joe Biden.

As a law student, Biden plagiarized a paper. He admitted to it but said it wasn’t “malevolent,” whatever that means. He isn’t bright and is often caught with his foot in his mouth either with a racist remark (regarding Obama he said "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy" or on another occasion he said "you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent") or just plain stupid (discussing the stock market crash of 1929 he said “Franklin Roosevelt got on television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed” – so wrong – Herbert Hoover was President when the stock market crashed and broadcast type TV cameras weren’t around then) and often his remarks are laced with profanities (when the health care bill, ObamaCare, was signed, he was caught, on camera, dropping the F-Bomb with his “this is a big F***ing deal.)

Personally, I think Sarah Palin would have made a much better Vice President.

The current new face of the Conservative Movement is Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota. Ms. Bachmann holds a Juris Doctorate degree specializing in tax law and was a United State Treasury Department attorney. This is not a stupid woman but a quick Google search for either information on Ms. Bachmann or an image will show you that she is starting to attract some of that same hatred we saw directed at Gov. Palin.

So why is it that Conservative women seem to this kind of extreme hate? I firmly believe that first and foremost is because the left is extremely worried and threatened by strong, powerful, and Conservative women.

The language of politics in light of the Arizona tragedy

The shooting last weekend in Arizona left six people dead and many others critically wounded including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. While speculation is rampant, most would agree that this was an assassination attempt on Giffords.

Almost immediately and without any proof or apparently thought, the media went on the air and in print to condemn those politicians on the right and most specifically Sarah Palin for this attack. The reasoning is extremely flawed. The Sarah Palin PAC ‘targeted’ this Democratically-held congressional district as an area to concentrate resources and to try to elect a conservative to the House.

Now we get to the language of politics. The Sarah Palin PAC used the term ‘target.’ That term by itself does not incite violence. Neither does the all the other terms we use in discussing politics. We refer to close elections in ‘battleground’ states. We discuss how much money a particular candidate has in his/her ‘war chest.’ And yes we ‘target’ an office holder if we want to win.

This shooting was done by a nut –a nut who will get a great attorney to tell a jury that he is crazy and should not be held responsible for his actions. This nut will then get to spend life in prison because he is deemed insane. I will save that a rant for another day.

One final thought: this nut (notice I am not going to give him the publicity of actually printing his name) probably acted alone because most nuts don’t have the social skills to be involved in a ‘conspiracy.’

Thomas Jefferson knew because he-himself studied the previous failed attempts at government.  He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man .  That happens to be waaay more than what most understand today.  Jefferson really knew his stuff.  A voice from the past to lead us in the future:


John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time.. He made this statement:" This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."


When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe , we shall become as corrupt as  Europe. ~ Thomas Jefferson


The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. ~ Thomas Jefferson


It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. ~    Thomas Jefferson


I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.  ~ Thomas Jefferson


My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. ~ Thomas Jefferson


No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. ~ Thomas Jefferson


The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. ~ Thomas Jefferson


The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ~  Thomas Jefferson


To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. ~  Thomas Jefferson


Thomas  Jefferson said in 1802:
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.  If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.


I wish we could get this out to everyone!!!  I'm doing my part.  Please do yours.

Good Advice....


Subject: Shooting Advice

Never let someone or thing that threatens you get inside arms length and never say I got a gun.  If you feel you need to use deadly force for heaven's sake let the first sound they hear be the safety clicking off and they shouldn't have time to hear anything after that if you are doing your job.  
And my favorite.  

'The average response time of a 911 call is over 3 minutes....the response time of a .44 magnum is 1400 feet per second.'     

Shooting advice  Clint Smith,  Director of Thunder Ranch, is a drill instructor  (Thunder Ranch is a firearms training facility in Arizona).  Here are a few of his observation on tactics, firearms, self defense and life as we know it in the civilized world. 

 "The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win and cheat if necessary."  

"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way.."  

"Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it's going to be empty."  

"If you're not shooting', you should be loading'. If you're not  loading',  you should be moving', if you're not moving', someone's gonna cut your head off and put it on a stick."  

"When you reload in low light encounters, don't put your flashlight in your back pocket.. If you light yourself up, you'll look like an angel or the tooth fairy... And you're gonna be one of 'em pretty soon."  

"Do something It may be wrong, but do something."  

"Shoot what's available, as long as it's available, until something else becomes available."  

"If you carry a  gun,people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous.  If you have a gun, what in the hell do you have to be paranoid for."  

"Don't shoot fast, unless you also shoot good.."  

"You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think will work, but  I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much the universal language."  

"You have the rest of your life to solve your problems.. How long you live depends on how well you do it."  

"You cannot save the planet but you may be able to save yourself and your family."  

"Thunder Ranch will be here as long as you'll have us or until someone makes us go away, and either way, it will be exciting."  

More Excellent Gun Wisdom........  

The purpose of  fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.  

1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight,  he'll just kill you.  

2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.  

3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.  

4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.  

5. A reporter did  a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers.  The reporter  recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do  you carry a 45?' The Ranger responded, 'Because  they don't make a  46.'  

6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.  

7. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol.  Are you expecting trouble?' 'No ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my rifle.'  

8. Beware of the man who only has one gun, because he probably knows how to use it very well.  

'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.  ' G. K. Chesterton  

People that value its privileges above its principles will soon lose both.  

"Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not...."  -  Thomas Jefferson  

If you believe in the 2nd Amendment, please forward..

World's Largest Army ?

This shared from a friend on line:

The world's largest army? America's hunters.


Monday, December 6, 2010

I don't spend my fall weekends tramping around the woods in pursuit of a buck, but a lot of my friends and neighbors do.

This blogger adds up all the hunters in just a handful of states, and comes to a striking conclusion:

The state of Wisconsin has gone an entire deer hunting season without someone getting killed. That's great. There were over 600,000 hunters.
Allow me to restate that number. Over the last two months, the eighth largest army in the world – more men under arms than Iran; more than France and Germany combined – deployed to the woods of a single American state to help keep the deer menace at bay.

But that pales in comparison to the 750,000 who are in the woods of Pennsylvania this week. Michigan's 700,000 hunters have now returned home. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia, and it is literally the case that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.

His point? America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.

Hunting — it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security.

Once upon a time in a classroom

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Penny. Penny was a good student who studied hard and made good grades.

One day Penny got a new teacher. The new teacher, Ms. Handout, didn’t like that some of the students in her class were making failing grades. Ms. Handout starting asking these kids, “Why do you get poor grades?” The answers were varied but many of them confessed to not studying.

Ms. Handout considered the answers. She really wanted all students to get good grades. Perhaps the failing students just needed someone to help them study, she thought. She set up study sessions. A few of the students attended these free sessions including Penny and other students who had been studying all along. However, those students who needed the extra help the most didn’t show up or just came to a couple of sessions before deciding not to return.

Ms. Handout was still dismayed. She once again went to those failing students to see why they didn’t take the offer of free help with studying. Student after student offered up such excuses as “studying is hard” or “I wanted to study but my friends wanted me to go to the mall” or “I really don’t like to study” and even “I tried it once but it wasn’t my thing.”

Ms. Handout was a good person with a good heart who didn’t want to see any of her students fail. To that end she did what she felt she had to do. She took some of extra points Penny and the other hard working students had earned by studying and doing extra work and gave them those failing students. Now all the students in Ms. Handout’s class were going to receive mediocre passing grades and everyone was happy.

Well, maybe not everyone. Penny (and the other students who had studied) really didn’t feel very happy about having something she had earned taken away from her and given to someone else. She also was starting to question why she put so much work into studying when she would not personally benefit from that hard work. So Penny decided to take a break from studying because the outcome was going to be the same regardless of her efforts.

And that, my friends, is a simple explanation of Socialism.

Freedom of speech is under attack

And you won’t believe by whom. Or maybe you will. The extreme left in the form of Al Sharpton, a.k.a. Al Charlatan, is demanding that the Federal Communications Communication (FCC) remove Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves.

“We’re not going to stand by and let publicly regulated radio and television just go for marketing and promoting this kind of racism. Rush Limbaugh has the right to say whatever he wants to say, he does not have the right, though, to do it on publicly regulated airwaves. The FCC has the responsibility to set standards,” said Al Sharpton.

“You can’t say – in the name of free speech, you can’t say anything you want,” Sharpton said on MSNBC. “We’re not talking about stopping free speech. We’re not telling Rush don’t say what you want to say, say it at home, not on public airwaves,” he concluded.

All this from a man who had built a career on using divisive language to stir racial tensions and create an atmosphere of distrust between the races, especially a distrust by the black community of the white community.

Al Sharpton rose to the national spotlight in 1987 when he paraded Tawana Brawley before television cameras, declaring her a victim of rape and hate crimes by a group of white men, including policemen. A grand jury later determined that Brawley had fabricated her story. In the course of the events surrounding the inquiry, Sharpton made accusations of racism against the prosecutor who successfully sued for slander. Sharpton was ordered to pay $345,000 in damages after a jury found Sharpton was liable for making defamatory statements.

Sharpton has had other incidences where he has appeared to be a racist. He has referred to Jews as “diamond merchants.” He gave a speech at Kean College where he said “We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.” In 2007 he attacked then presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his religion, Mormonism, with this quote: “As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don’t worry about that; that’s a temporary situation.”

While I don’t agree with every word aired on the Rush Limbaugh Radio Show, I do believe he has the right to speak. I also believe Juan Williams had the right to his personal feelings and observations although National Public Radio (NPR) apparently didn’t think so as they fired him for having an opinion that strayed from the liberal leanings of that entity.

If freedom of speech is limited to only those who agree with those in power then all of us, including bloggers, are in danger of losing that freedom.

A Little Conservative Humor

This is clever



From The Manitoba Herald by Clive Runnels


The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The recent actions of the Tea Party are prompting an exodus among left-leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, and to agree with Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck.


Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal-rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night. "I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken.

When I said I didn't have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?”

In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush Limbaugh across the fields. "Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still got through and Rush annoyed the cows so much that they wouldn't give any milk.”


Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons and drive them across the border where they are simply left to fend for themselves." A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions," an Ontario border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a single bottle of imported drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley Cabernet, though."

When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR races.

In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans in powdered wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the '50s. "If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about their age" an official said.


Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and are renting all the Michael Moore movies. "I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them." an Ottawa resident said. "How many art-history majors does one country need?"

This is the best summary of our situation

Please take a few minutes and watch....this is the essence of our country!!

The Emptiest of Empty Suits..Liar In Chief..did we expect less?

                Big surprise !!!

                Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and US President makes

   Up Constitutional Quotes During 'State Of The Union ' Address.

                Consider this:

                1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard

   Law Review, is no longer a "lawyer". He surrendered his license back

   in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application.

                A "Voluntary Surrender" is not something where you decide

   "Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?" and

   forget to renew your license. No, a "Voluntary Surrender" is

   something you do when you've been accused of something, and you

   "voluntarily surrender" your license five seconds before the state

    suspends you. (Remember Clinton "voluntarily surrendered" his)

                2. Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license

                  in 1993.

                3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady -

                 who don't actually have licenses to practice law. Facts.

                Source:


   e-Harvard-law-review-has-no-law-license/

                4.    A senior lecturer is one thing.  A fully ranked law

   professor is another.    Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law

   professor at the University of Chicago .

                5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March,

    2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the

   law school-but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there

   part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.

                6. "He did not hold the title of professor of law," said

   Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and

   Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law.

                Source:


   e.html ;

                7.    The former Constitutional senior lecturer cited the US

   Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address.

   Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of

   Independence . not the  Constitution.

                8. The B-Cast posted the video:


   eclaration-of-independence/

                9.    Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address,

   President Obama said: "We find unity in our incredible diversity,

   drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that

   we are all created equal..

                10.    Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ,

   I mean Mr. President.  By the way, the promises are not a notion, our

   founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our

   Declaration of Independence and it  reads:

                We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are

   created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain

   unalienable  Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the

   pursuit of Happiness.

                11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme

   Court moments later in the same speech???

                When you are a phony it's hard to keep facts straight. 

   The only ones that haven't seen through this clown and the band of

   idiots that surrounds him are those that are fleecing this Country

   for all it's worth. I hope and pray that common sense will prevail in

   the next election or this great Nation is finished!

                This is amazing!  I checked the Illinois Bar site and this is

   absolutely true.  Both voluntarily gave up their licenses.  How in the

    HADES did the media not report on this?

A visit from Senator Mitch McConnell

Spencer County Kentucky, traditionally a dyed-in-the-wool Democratic strong hold, received a visit from Senator Mitch McConnell today.

Senator McConnell was in the county to campaign for local candidates as well as to give the loyal Republicans in attendance a bit of pep talk leading up to the mid-term elections on Tuesday, November 2nd. Many of those local candidates were on hand and were recognized by the Senator.

Senator McConnell’s talk was punctuated with humor and many times was interrupted with applause. He reminded everyone the importance of the mid-term elections and with help from voters across the country, reversing the bad policies of the last two years was possible.

Senator McConnell predicted a Republican majority for the House of Representatives. However, he said that since only one-third of the Senate was up for re-election, the chance the Republicans could regain Senate majority was a long shot. With the Republicans in charge of the House, massive spending bills like we have seen in the past two years would be more difficult to push through. Also, House oversight on Presidential appointments would actually take place as opposed to what has been the recent norm.

Senator McConnell was accompanied by his wife, Elaine Chao. Ms. Chao was Secretary of Labor in President George W. Bush’s cabinet, the only person on the cabinet to serve the full eight years of Bush’s presidency. Senator McConnell is the Minority Leader of the Senate and would like to return to his former position as Senate Majority Leader.

The Republican Party of Spencer County has been working hard through the years to spread their message and try to elect candidates to county positions. Although voters in the county have voted for Republicans for national and state offices, they have yet to vote in Republicans to offices on the local level. This year is looking very promising. Stay tuned for an update!

The Crotch Salute...how Un American and disrespectful can he get ?








At the Ft. Hood Memorial Service

The Crotch Salute Returns

I'm sorry folks, but is this the a__hole that was elected President of our
country?
You know, the United States of America?
I do believe that saluting the flag goes with that, and also to honor the
servicemen who died, or is he above that?

He is the Commander In Chief, is he not?
Shower us all with flowery words and dazzle us with B.S. But actions speak
louder. How many passes do you have to give this guy before you realize he
is not one of us, he is working on his own agenda and he is not good for
America? 

He won't salute our flag and pay respect to our troops but he will bow to a
Saudi Prince - WTF!

more. I just can't do it.

Also note the ever present teleprompter...no words of his own ?

Pass it on if you feel the same way.
