A Bumper Sticker We All Need

In my email:

We were in slow-moving traffic the other day and the car in front of us had an Obama bumper sticker on it. It read:

"Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8".

Allah Must Weep For His Word And His People

I don't condone burning any book, especially a holy book, but I am fed up with the perpetual whining of Islamofascists who know no holy books but ones of their own making. They may not know much about the Koran which they say they are quoting, but they know each and every chapter and verse of perceived wrongs and sadistic ways to punish such perceived wrongs that are listed in their holy books.

Allah must be weeping at what has been wrought in his name and what those who murder, maim and burn in his name are doing.

I'll make a bet with the frothing Ayatollah du jour and the current Imams at the top of this week's Murder Inc's demented chart. If all of the followers of your cults stop flying planes into buildings, stop using suicide bombers and generally just stop killing, people here in America will stop burning Korans. If you don't take the bet, you're cowards and if you don't like the bet, you're liars. You can bet on that. Plus, if you're in a betting mood, I wouldn't bet on 72 virgins and fruit juice, you'll just end up parched if you know what I mean. Mā šāʾ Allāh.

Righthaven Sues Angle For Las Vegas Review-Journal To Help Reid

No, I won't link to the reprobates at the Las Vegas Review-Journal nor Righthaven. One chases ambulances and the other reports it, but now it appears they have thrown their collective hats in the ring to help Hapless Harry Reid get re-elected.

Sharron Angle Faces Copyright Lawsuit

A company has sued Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle, claiming she reprinted two Las Vegas Review-Journal articles on her campaign website without permission.

I am amazed at the tin ear decisions of the LVR-J and the bait and switch legal maneuvers of Righthaven to harass bloggers, but for them to get in the gutter with Harry Reid is more than a tad political.

If you lay down with rats you gonna get bit. In this case the trifecta of stupid, which is Reid, LVR-J and Righthaven, deserve each other in their backroom deals.

It's too bad LVR-J doesn't like links to their articles. If my two readers (but I boast) were to link to them it might just double their readership.

Russ & Barack Secret Meeting Place Finally Set For Milwaukee

A secret and anonymous source has said that Barack and Russ negotiated a secret meeting which would avoid any mention by the press. The same source stated that last minute instructions to the meeting would be placed in a box of tissues next to the teleprompter and that only the president should read them

Feingold to miss Obama Labor Day visit

Unfortunately, the president couldn't figure out which teleprompter would tell him what to do. At this point other secret sources say the meeting is in jeopardy.

An intrepid, though unnamed secret, source within the Feingold campaign supplied photographs showing the meeting place only after having been assured that the images would not publicly be shown until they were out of town due to "pressing personal problems." Follow up investigations found an empty apartment and disconnected telephones. Near midnight an unnamed witness in sunglasses at the unnamed source's former apartment stated that he had never seen anyone fitting the description of the anonymous source. He also stated that he had never heard of Renegade, Renaissance nor Rosebud and Radiance.

BLAME BUSH! Why Not?

When all of one's plans for the economy only makes it worse and you haven't a clue what to do, blame Bush. It's easy, it will make you feel better and all of your like minded friends will nod their heads and stroke their chins in a sage repose of wisdom.

Obama: "It Took Nearly A Decade To Dig The Hole That We're In"

President Obama criticizes the economic policies of former President Bush and the current "partisan minority" in Congress. Obama asks Republicans to drop the economic "blockade."

Obama says he ignored Beck rally... Drudge

“It’s not surprising that somebody like a Mr. Beck is able to stir up a certain portion of the country. That's been true throughout our history,” he said. But “what I’m focused on is making sure that the decisions we’re making now are going to be be not good for the nightly news, not good even necessarily for the next election, but are good for the next generation.”

I am sure that President Obama, being the highly educated professor that he says he is, has heard of the "bully pulpit." He might reach back in his memory and even remember that that bear shootin' SOB, Teddy Roosevelt, defined it clearly and understood its use completely.

The caveat to the bully pulpit is that one can speak to people's values or one can plant a seed of thought, but one can never speak to the baseness of man nor plant a seed in a barren field of ideas and expect growth.

Beck spoke to the moral character of our nation and planted the seed of returning to America's greatness and it works because people believe him and believe in that which he spoke. Obama has yet to learn that just sayin' it don't make it so. Tough for a professor to grasp, but with time he can get his head around such an idea or ideal, if you will.

Murkowski Is Like Crist: Screw'em. Give Me The Power And The Money

NRSC Triptik

Murkowski, like Crist of Florida, might be busy proving that they are little republican in the Republican Party that believe only in themselves and are only out for themselves. That the NRSC is assisting her in undermining real Republicans in Alaska is a sign of bureaucratic bloatedness and comfort in positions they feel are no longer answerable to Republican voters nationwide.

300,000 - 500,000 people in front of the Lincoln Memorial feel differently. The left is paying close attention to that rally to find imagined racism and any other fault they can find. The Republican power elites seem to not only have not heard of the rally, but seem to have forgotten where the Lincoln Memorial is sited. If they were to find the memorial they'd be able to read Lincoln's words and then possibly find their way back to believing in what the Republican Party stands for.

If they don't know where the Lincoln Memorial is they just have to remember the next time they go to the Public Affairs Office for the US Mint for some coin, that they continue on west to their favorite, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Then hop back on Independence Ave going west until they see the Lincoln Memorial on the right. Maybe it might be more simple to just ask any tourist in town to guide them.

Once there they will find Lincoln quotes such as, "Allow all the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and that only, is self-government," which is actually part of this quote, "I have quoted so much at this time merely to show that, according to our ancient faith, the just powers of governments are derived from the consent of the governed. Now the relation of master and slave is pro tanto a total violation of this principle. The master not only governs the slave without his consent, but he governs him by a set of rules altogether different from those which he prescribes for himself. Allow all the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and that only, is self-government."

Remember the "just powers of government" part of the quote if remembering all of it is just too much.

NPR First In Media To Lie About Beck Rally In DC

Photos: Glenn Beck Rally Has People Seeing Red ‎

NPR - 17 minutes ago

Thousands turned out to hear Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin speak in front of the Lincoln Monument in Washington, DC, on Saturday.

It may actually be that "thousands" listen to NPR coast to coast. There were a tad more than thousands at the "Restoring Honor" rally in DC. 300,000 to 500,000 people turned up in the Federal City for the rally. There are no crowd estimates for those who may or may not be listening to NPR.

Liberal Heads Exploding Over Beck Rally

They're calling it a Nazi rally. Some are saying it is the largest KKK rally in years. The knee slapping crowd is calling it Whitestock. Whatever they are calling it they seem to be really scared of Beck and his rally.

On Twitter the left is full of snark.

Meanwhile at Whitestock or the rally, whatever, an American Indian is giving a medal to a black preacher who attended the Republican MLK rally held there many years ago. The left is angry that such men of color would try to "steal" the heritage of the Civil Rights movement, especially when they speak of Jesus. They left wants Jesus to be a communist and MLK to be agnostic when they want to use them for their political ends.

On other sites leftists question whether Beck will allow God and MLK to be mentioned and then ridicule him when they are not only mentioned, but held in the highest esteem. Others want to have answer to that burning question, are Beck and Palin being paid and if so, how much? The theme is that capitalists can be bought to speak on behalf of anything, unlike any on the left. That the great unwashed rubes of America attending the rally are really what is wrong about America, unlike those on the left. That people that want less government intrusion, less power and less spending are the problem, unlike the left.

This is what makes the left so open to other ideas.

Michigan Dems In Fraud Against McCotter & Other Republicans.

It is still uncertain if McCotter's opponent Natalie Mosher' campaign was involved, but party officials in Oakland County, Michigan had to fire one of their employees (after it was published that the Democrat Party official) started a fake "Tea Party" to try and siphon votes away from McCotter and other Republicans.

DEM commissioners call for party worker's removal

"[W]e ask for the immediate removal of Jason Bauer as an employee of the Oakland County Democratic Party. Our caucus members and candidates demand the highest ethical standards of ourselves, our government and our party, and any violation of those standards must have real and significant consequences.”

Yep, turn on the lights and watch them scatter.

Rich Care For Petraeus Moist With Crocodile Tears

Oh, weep for the brave warrior as Frank Rich weeps. Must we allow our brave warriors fall on the sword of neo con stupidity? If only we had the stamina to wake each morning and look hard into the mirror and see ourselves as Rich can only see himself.

How Fox Betrayed Petraeus

It’s poignant, really. Even as America’s most venerable soldier returned from the front to valiantly assume the role of Willy Loman, the product he was selling was being discredited and discontinued by his own self-proclaimed allies at home.

Poignant? Ah, exactly the word I'd expect Frank to use to describe any situation of a soldier. Really, I expect that type of sensitivity from Frank. Frank is so sensitive he must, late on dark nights, quote to himself, "I realized what a ridiculous lie my whole life has been" and wonder if his brother was right at last.
