The Donkey Whisperer

Finally, a funny and entertaining political ad.

Candidate Roger Williams is shown out in the field talking to a herd of
donkeys, and telling them to lose the "victim" mindset. They won't listen,
even when he threatens to replace them with elephants.



Bring on the elephants!

Obama Versus Regan

Opening in theaters Friday, October 15, 2010...

Cartoon Obama Punches Out Reagan in I Want Your Money, which contrasts the "two paths" the United States could take -- Obama's approach or Reagan's.

"We need to stand up and start taking a stand, we need to stop the spending."

"The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money."

One third of his flick is animated to "make it entertaining for a younger audience."

Don't Be An Obama Mushroom

Don't be an Obama Mushroom... Kept in the dark and periodically fed another load of Obama mushroom fodder by the mainstream media.

Obama's Gift To America's Children

Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the Liberal Democrat Congress are spending money at a record and unsustainable level -- like a compulsive shopper obsessed with running up their credit card balances beyond what they can possibly afford to pay.

Obama's gift to your children and grandchildren will be the bill, ever higher taxes, inflation, and a lower standard of living as they are forced to deal with and pay for the Democrat's socialism, bailouts, and out-of-control spending, record debt, and skyrocketing deficits!

The really sad fact is those children didn't even have a vote
in the matter. Talk about "taxation without representation"!

Is this the "change" you "hoped" and voted for... and expected?

An ever increasing majority of Americans are saying NO ! ! !

Abortion is essential to Liberalism / Progressivism

This was taken from a post on Blogs For Victory...

When Liberals Get to Defending Abortion:

To understand the passionate defense of abortion, you need to understand its importance to the ideology of Progressivism.

Progressives change their name a lot, but you can use any of them—Marxism, Socialism, Progressivism, Liberalism—and you still end up with a belief system that has, at its center, the State.

And the State, to gain and retain absolute control (which is crucial to the ideology, as people will not willingly remain in it once it reaches its full powers if there is not absolute control) there can be no division of loyalties. This means the State has to trump both family and religion.

Abortion does both of these things. You cannot believe in God and the rights and wrongs taught by religion and still kill your helpless child. And certainly when you weaken the bond between a mother and her child by teaching her that the child can simply be eliminated from her life if it is inconvenient, you undermine family ties.

Abortion has the result of getting people to accept the idea that human life has no intrinsic value, but that the value of another life can be, under some circumstances, determined by someone else—even for self-serving reasons. When you can convince a population that it is moral and good and acceptable for parents to kill their offspring for any reason whatsoever, you introduce a moral relativity that can be manipulated in many ways. All we have to do to see the escalation of this moral relativity regarding the worth of a human life is to examine the curve of acceptability, regarding when an unborn child could be “morally” disposed of. Within just a decade or two that curve has gone from within the first trimester to the end of the second trimester to up to the moment of birth as long as the child has not taken a breath to a fully formed, autonomous, breathing baby outside the womb. That’s a pretty dramatic decline of what some find morally acceptable, so that now the American people have actually elected as their president a man who defends the “right” of a woman to place her child in a box in a cold room to die, alone and cold and hungry, just because she feels like it.

But this is good for Progressives, because it corrodes the family unit, it creates a distance between people and God, and it places the State at the center of life. The State becomes the arbiter of right and wrong, the definer of good and evil, the declarer of morality, the source of support and sustenance, the family and the church.

The danger to America is its citizenry

The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.

Obama, You're Fired!

Americans have looked behind the curtain. They have seen through Obama's smoke, mirrors, and endless talk. They now see Obama for the far left Liberal and Socialist that he really is.

Polls show Americans DO NOT LIKE what they see!

The majority DO NOT APPROVE of Obama's performance.

The majority believe we are headed in the WRONG DIRECTION.

The majority believe Obama DOES NOT DESERVE to be reelected.

Voters will soon be sending Obama a CLEAR MESSAGE.

This is NOT the CHANGE we expected!

This is NOT the CHANGE we wanted!

Obama is the WRONG DIRECTION...

WRONG for America... WRONG for you...

WRONG for your children and grandchildren!

Obama... YOU'RE FIRED ! ! !

AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR NATION'S LEADERSHIP

I received the following letter in a couple of different e-mails. After further checking, I see it's posted on several Web sites.

The letter was originally sent to Glenn Beck and read on his show June 17, 2009. Once you read this, you will want to forward it to all of your friends...

AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR NATION'S LEADERSHIP

by Janet Contreras:

I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill. I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars. I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don't you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ‑‑ what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band‑Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ‑‑ please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when hewill rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

Big Tent Republicans

Republicans do need a "big tent" -- big enough to include all who wish to enter!

We do not, however, need to enlarge our tent by extending it further to the left, compromising our own principles, traditional values, and agenda, and becoming "Liberal-lites" in the hopes of enticing a few Liberals to enter. That strategy did not work with John McCain even as it alienated and turned off much of our base, yet we are now being told to give it another try... by those same self proclaimed "moderate" Republicans, the liberal media, and "helpful" analysts and political experts on the Left!

Republicans and Conservatives must do more to show Moderates and Independents that it's ultimately in their interest and that of America to vote for Republicans rather than the apologizing, anti-American, pro-UN, tax and spend, welfare fixated, Socio-Communist Liberals, and the Democrats who support and enable them!

With only a 5% shift in votes, Obama would not be president, and the Democrats would be the minority party!

The Obama Side-Step

When you can't make a decision, just give 'em a big grin, and...

Do "The Obama Side-Step"!

Give 'em a slick sounding sales pitch and dance around the issues,
side step the questions, and divert their attention with smoke and
mirrors, promise them anything that sounds good, and... hope the
fools never catch on, or stop buying the snake oil you're peddling!

And if, by chance, you do make a decision and it turns out wrong...

Blame someone else for your own failures and incompetence !


Wake up Americans...

The Palin Effect

Not to be out maneuvered by Sarah Palin, and after reading the TEA leaves (and after seeing trends in recent polls)...

RedState reports:

October 26th, 2009

NY-23: Pawlenty Endorses Hoffman

Tim Pawlenty is endorsing Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman in the Nov. 3 special election for New York's 23rd District...

"We cannot send more politicians to Washington who wear the Republican jersey on the campaign trail, but then vote like Democrats in Congress on issues like card check and taxes," Pawlenty said in a statement to RedState. "After reviewing the candidates' positions [and seeing all those TEA leaves], I'm endorsing Doug Hoffman in New York's special election...

Hoffman has previously been endorsed by former Alaska governor Sarah Palin ... a poll today showing Hoffman in the lead.

"What makes this stand out even more than the Palin endorsement is that Pawlenty has not been seen as diverging with the Republican establishment," wrote RedState's Erick Erickson. "He's not seen as the maverick that Palin is. But Pawlenty has a huge amount of stature inside the Republican establishment, more so than Palin. That he is now willing to come out in favor of Hoffman is going to resonate among the Republican establishment in ways Palin's endorsement will not."

And they said Palin's political career and influence was over when she resigned as governor!

North Korea or Iran could nuke the U.S.

Not only does North Korea now have a missile and nuclear warhead that puts Guam and Japan within range of a nuclear strike, but possibly the U.S. mainland and Europe as well!

At least one of North Korea's nuclear capable missiles can be launched from a mobile launcher which can be carried on board a ship or barge in international waters and strike every city within the U.S.   The same is or will soon be true of Iran, which is known to be receiving military assistance from North Korea.

Obama and the Democrats want Americans to believe it will be years before North Korea or Iran can strike or blackmail the U.S., Europe, Israel, and our allies with a nuclear missile, but that is not the case, especially if missiles are launched from barges or ships.

Even worse than the destruction of a major U.S. city, would be a nuclear missile detonated over the U.S. to create an Electromagnetic Pulse which would essentially disable our entire nation!

And what is Obama's strategy?   First, Obama's administration blocked testing of a key missile defense radar during North Korea's last missile launch. Then Obama reduced needed funding for the missile defense system.   Mostly, Obama just talks, and talks, and talks!

Biden warned Americans our enemies would test Obama, and further warned that "...it's not going to be apparent that we're right."

Will the American people wake up before Obama's continued talk and weak responses lead to a nuclear attack?

Contact your Senators and Representatives and ask them to vote against Obama's plans to cut and weaken America's missile defense system.

Obama sends American troops to war without the equipment they need to fight!

The Associated Press is reporting that the Obama administration is sending thousands of U.S. troops to Afghanistan without the equipment they need to fight the Taliban; although, the Obama administration is "concerned" about the problem.

Where are the reports from the media -- newspapers, television networks, and the Internet -- about Obama sending American troops to fight a war without the necessary equipment? Where are the calls from Congress for an investigation into why Obama is sending American troops into a war zone without the equipment they need? Where is the outrage from the Democrats and their Left-Wing Liberals over more troops being sent to fight the war?

Come on you Democrats, Liberals, and anti-war Left-Wingers, can't we get just a little outrage here? Just a tiny bit? A smidgen? You don't have to hit Obama with the full load of your outrage and hate like you did to President Bush!


There are some reporting that Obama is managing to lose the war in Afghanistan -- no surprise there! After all, Obama did manage to anger North Korea into restarting its nuclear weapons program, and somehow, managed to get the inspectors thrown out of the country -- no surprise there! And now, with Obama at the helm, the Taliban are taking large areas in Pakistan, with the real possibility the Taliban and Osama bin Laden could get their hands on one or more nuclear missiles; even though, Obama doesn't "think" that is "too likely" to happen "at this time" -- no surprise there!

All of this should be no surprise to anyone with a little common sense (largely lacking on the Left). Obama's weak stand, constant America-bashing, continual apologizing, and poor judgment will likely lead to even more fighting and deaths -- in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and around the world.

Our enemies and the bad guys around the world know that under Obama's weak "leadership" America will do little to stop them other than talk. Even Vice President Biden warned Americans the world would "test" Obama, and it wouldn't be apparent that Obama's decisions were correct. At least we do get some truth when Joe's allowed to say what he thinks!

And what does Obama do as threats of a possible rogue missile launch increase by the day? Why, the Obama administration denied the military's request to conduct a live test of a critical radar of the missile defense system for fear of "provoking" North Korea. Can't Obama understand it's North Korea doing the provoking? Apparently not!

Adding to his incompetence, Obama next cuts funding from the very missile defense system we need to protect us and our allies from a rogue nuclear missile strike. Then, believing all Americans are incapable of seeing through his smoke, mirrors, and snake oil sales pitches, Obama tries to mislead and snow the American people into believing those are big savings compared to the trillions of dollars he and his out-of-control Democrat Congress are spending like those proverbial drunken sailors!

We ask for answers, but all we get from Obama are more misleading and wishy-washy non-answers like: we don't anticipate... we don't foresee... we don't believe that's likely (at this time) ...we aren't planning (at this time) ...we don't think (at this time) ...we don't know (at this time).

Why should it be any surprise that the Obama administration don't know what they are doing in Afghanistan when they "claim" they didn't even know the White House sent Obama's Air Force One back-up jet on a mission to buzz New York City and scare the daylights out of its citizens!

And have we forgotten Obama's campaign promise to capture or kill Osama bin Laden? Obama has had over 100 days now to do just that, but all we here if more talk, talk, talk!

But then, the one thing Obama is good at is talking!
