We Have Had Four Years Of DemocRat Majority Already

With the 2010 mid-term elections less than two weeks away it’s seems strange that people I talk to have forgotten that we have already had four long years of DemocRat majority in the Congress.  Yeah, I know it seems longer than that for some of us but some voters they seem to forget that during the last two years of George W. Bush’s presidency the DemocRats were in charge of both houses of Congress.

Democrat Senator John Kerry Skips Town On Sails Tax

When it comes to liberal politicians there's generally one thing you can be sure of...."paying your fair share of taxes" has different meanings for them and for you.  They want you to pay far more in taxes in order to keep their voters sucking on the teet of government while they do everything they can to prevent paying more taxes.  Want a little proof?  You need look no further than Democrat Massachusetts Senator John Kerry (who served in Vietnam).  It seems that the esteemed Senator has handily avoided paying $437,500 in sales tax on his new multi-million dollar yacht and up to $70,000 per year in excise tax by keeping his yacht in Rhode Island instead of his home state of Massachusetts. Sen. John Kerry skips town on sails tax.

The Queen's Riddle

Author unknown but appreciated!

The Queen's Riddle

Barack Obama met with the Queen of England .

He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient  government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"

"Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround  yourself with intelligent people."

Obama frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know the people around me  are really intelligent?"

The Queen took a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to  answer an intelligent riddle."

The  Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony  Blair in here, would you?"

Tony Blair walked into the room and said, "Yes, your Majesty?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please,Tony, your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother  and it is not your sister. Who is it?"

Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered, "That would be  me."

"Yes! Very good," said the Queen.

Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice president the same  question. "Joe, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a  child.  It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"

"I'm not sure," said Biden. "Let me get back to you on that  one..." He went to his advisers and asked every one, but none could give  him an answer. Finally, he ended up in the men's room and recognized Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall.

Biden asked Powell, "Colin, can you answer this for me?   Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother  or your sister. Who is it?"

Colin Powell yelled back, "That's easy, it's me!"

Biden smiled, and said, "Thanks!"  Then, he went back to speak  with Obama.  "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to  that riddle.  It's Colin Powell!"

Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face,  "No! you idiot!  It's Tony Blair!"

AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS PRECISELY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR FEDERAL  GOVERNMENT IN WASHINGTON D.C.

On Vox: Help Congressman Ciro Rodriguez Lose His Seat

Maybe it's just me but I think that any Congressman who starts yelling at constituents who call him out on his lies needs to be tossed out of office. Ciro Rodriguez is one of those Democrat Congressmen that needs to be given his walking papers. At a town hall meeting in his home district Democrat Congressman Rodriguez lost control, while being video taped, and became verbally aggressive toward a woman (off camera) that called him out on his party-line lies by using the correct information from the Congressional Budget Office.  I find it interesting that Congressmen that decide to bully the public never do it to people like me, they do it to young students like Congressman Bob Etheridge of North Carolina did or to a woman correcting the liar that's supposed to represent her.

The Armed Citizen Report: May 2010

Do you own a gun?  If so, good for you…make sure you know how to use it.  If not, why not?  Millions of Americans own guns and it’s a good thing they do because they end up needing them to protect themselves.  It annoys liberals every time they hear it but, Americans defend themselves, their loved ones, and their property millions of times every year with guns.  Some of the stories of Americans using their guns for their own protection follow.

While taking groceries to her car, a man approached an 82-year-old woman and said something horrible to her: “This is your day.  You are too old to be alive anyway.”  According to police, he then grabbed the woman’s cane and beat her.  Despite the savage assault, the elderly woman managed to reach into her purse, draw her gun and fire a shot.  The man fled and, upon hearing the shot, store employees quickly came to the woman’s aid.  The self-proclaimed “stubborn, old broad” is badly bruised but will fully recover.  “If I go naturally or to a sickness or something, fine,” she said.  “I’m ready to go, but I’m not ready to let some idiot like that take me out.”  (KVOA-TV, Tucson, Ariz., 03/15/10)

On Vox: Wacky Global Warming News: Murder-Suicide Pact Due To Global Warming Hoax

Francisco Lotero

Al Gore and the various frauds claiming Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) is destroying the world are certainly guilty of a variety of crimes against the people of the world.  Now, the AGW hucksters should be listed as accessories to a murder, a attempted murder, and two suicides.

Francisco Lotero, 56, and Miriam Coletti, 23, of Goya, Argentina shot their seven-month-old daughter in the chest and left her for dead.  They also shot their two-year-old son in the back (killing him) before killing themselves.  Why?  According to a suicide note left by the Argentinian cowards it was because of their fear of the effects of Global Warming.  That's right, fear of Global Warming led them to kill one of their young children and attempt to kill the other child before taking their own worthless lives.  And, it's all due to the hoax perpetrated by Al Gore and a bunch of "scientists" out to make money off of the fear of others.

On Vox: Obama Tells Liberals What To Say On Talk Radio

Obama Flips Off Americans

If you’ve ever listened to talk radio I’m sure you’ve heard some remarkably unintelligent sounding liberal callers who sound like they’re reading Democ-Rat talking points on health care reform.  Do you know why they sound that way?  Simple, they are reading talking points!  That’s right, they’re reading talking points from a website – BARACKOBAMA.COM – because they’re too stupid to form their own arguments.

Liberals are given three steps on completing the talk radio call in process.  The first step, “Listen, Then Call” orders the activist to listen to the show using a link to listen online, and gives them the ability to select a different show if they can’t get through to the first one they pick.  The liberal caller can select from variety of shows including Sean Hannity, Fred Thompson, The Savage Nation, and the Dennis Miller Show among others.  The second step called “Add Your Voice” tells the caller “Use the discussion points on the right in your conversation”.  The final step is to “Report Your Call” where the compliant left-winger sends a report about their call to President Obama’s website via email.

The website also includes “Calling Tips” telling the progressive activist caller to “Be polite” (usually ignored), and “Stay calm and firm” if the host challenges their views (Obama’s views actually).

Mystery solved.  Liberal callers anxious to spend your money to provide health care for liberals and uninsured illegal aliens are getting their marching orders from the Socialist in Chief (Peace Be Upon Him).  I’d tell you how to fight back against this but as a conservative you are able to do it yourself.

On Vox: The Armed Citizen Report: February 2010

If you were to believe the national broadcast media the private ownership of guns is something to be discouraged.  Some in the media, like ABC's 20/20, actually broadcast hit pieces that attempt to show that people with guns couldn't possibly do anything but get themselves hurt.  Over and over you hear about a "gunman" committing a crime but you almost never hear about people stopping crimes or saving lives with privately owned guns.  It's kinda strange you don't hear about people stopping crimes with their guns since it happens about 2 Million times each year!  Here's a few of the stories you should have seen or heard but probably didn't:

Criminal Justice Instructor Michael Minto was exiting the Kaplan Career Institute when he saw a man being viciously stabbed.  According to police, Minto ran onto the scene, drew a handgun for which he has a permit to carry and ordered the attacker to drop the knife.  The suspect fled.  The victim was treated and released from the hospital.  "[If not for Minto], we might be talking about someone who died," said Swatara Township, Pa., Deputy Police Chief Jason Umberger.  "There are not many citizens out there that would have the courage to take that action."  (The Patriot-News, Harrisburg, Pa., 12/08/09)

Wacky Global Warming News: Jones Says No Global Warming Since 1995

If you've adopted Man-Made Global Warming as your religion you may want to reserve space in the next cult de-programming session...there's been  no global warming since 1995 according to one of your very own cult leaders - Professor Phil Jones.  That's not all.  The former head of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit has made a few other interesting admissions you might want to know about.

Jones, the guy at the heart of Climategate, has admitted that one of the reasons he didn't respond to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by researchers and skeptics is that he may have actually lost the information they wanted.  Lost?  Yes, he may have lost the information that is the basis for a number of climate change claims including those of the famous "Hockey Stick Graph" prepared by Dr. Michael Mann and used ad nauseam by Al Gore in his slide show.  The information is also the basis of claims made in reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) at the United Nations...reports that are used by politicians to justify limiting individual freedom and raising taxes though they're riddled with errors.

Professor Jones has "also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon." Really?  A period of warming that can't be attributed to cars and SUVs burning fossil fuels, coal-burning electrical plants, manufacturing, or use of incandescent light bulbs?  Could it be that the earth goes through periods of warming and cooling due to factors not related to the activity of mankind?  That's pretty much what he admitted to, isn't it?

Another interesting admission by Professor Jones is that there had been two other more recent periods which experienced warming similar to the medieval period, from 1910 to 1940 and from 1975 to 1998, but he said these could be explained by natural phenomena!  Wait a second...why does that time period of 1975 to 1998 look so familiar?  Got it.  It looks familiar because 12 of the 20 hottest years on record, according the Union of Concerned Scientists, occur during the 1975 to 1998 period.  So, at least 12 of the 20 hottest years on record can be explained by natural (not man-made) phenomena according to Professor Jones.  Doesn't the truth feel good Professor?

Despite these admission by Jones, politicians all over the Western World are trying to use this Man-Made Global Warming hoax to bolster their power over you and separate you from your hard-earned money.  Fight back.  Make sure your voice is heard and stop legislation like the Waxman-Markey Cap and Trade bill (H.R. 2454) from being passed.  It's the right thing to do.
