What a Great Story.

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
"She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."

Question of the Day.

Question: Michael, although you are not a fan of Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House of Representatives, I know that you are a great fan of statemanship in politics. How then do you feel about the recent controversy surrounding Nancy and her disparate accounts of what she was told regarding CIA interrogation techniques, and do you think she should resign?

Answer: You are correct, I do not agree with Nancy Pelosi and her liberal agenda and I think based on the evidence, that she is lying about how much she was told regarding the use of waterboarding on terrorists. I believe she should admit the truth to the American people before the facts completely destroy her credibility. You are also correct that I am a firm believer in statesmanship in regards to politics and believe that even in moments of disgrace that Congressional leaders should be treated with respect and should behave in a manner befitting their positions. That being said, I do not believe Nancy Pelosi should resign as speaker of the House in this instance, because that would deprive me of the immense pleasure at seeing her dragged from her podium kicking and screaming. Thanks for your question.

Send in the Clown.

Watch this torturous press conference from Nancy Pelosi. She's changed her story so much I don't even think SHE buys the lies she's selling. The interesting part is when she starts taking questions and she realizes that whatever she says is now going to go under a microscope to compare with the facts. ENJOY the downfall of this stupid stupid woman.

Quote of the Day.

“Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”
--Ronald Reagan.

Caught With Their Hands in the Cookie Jar.

Since George W. Bush flew away in Marine One from the capital city on January 20, 2009, Democratic hacks,....er I mean leaders, have been itching for something that they could prosecute the Bush Administration for. They thought they found it in the "enhanced interrogation techniques" that have been flooding the airwaves over the past few weeks. But now that the CIA is releasing its own memos proving that these same two-faced hypocrites were privy ALL ALONG to these interrogation techniques, they are calling foul.
Dianne Feinstein the illustrious bouffant wearing moron senator from California is crying about being targeted. Well call the WAAAAAAMbulance why don't you. And then there is Dick Durbin the President's former Senate partner from Illinois, and don't forget Carl Levin who never met a Union official he didn't like. All three of these AND our mentally retarded Speaker of the House, Pelosi, were heavily involved in intelligence briefings where these enhanced techniques were discussed as potentially being used against terrorists.
I'll tell you what the problem is, the American people don't like elected officials who stick up more for criminals and terrorists than they do for Republicans and conservatives and the backlash is going to be immense come Election Day. I say, "good riddance to BAD rubbish"

Question of the Day.

Question: Michael what is your take on the recent Hate Crime Bill amendment proposed in the House of Representatives by Rep Steve King (R) Iowa, that was overwhelmingly voted down by Democrats in Congress?

Answer: First a little bit of background. The amendment you are referencing would have given veterans "protected class" status from those people that commit hate crimes against them. But, to be honest with you, the amendment is unnecessary because the only group in the USA today that actually hates veterans is...Democrats in Congress. Thanks for your question.

Quote of the Day.

On Sarah Palin as one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people:

"The combination of Palin's attractiveness as a candidate and her ability to expose liberals made her a celebrity among Republicans. The only thing I have against her is that she threatens to surpass me in attracting the left's hatred."
--Ann Coulter


Ann Coulter is a conservative columnnist and firebrand.

Obama Gets Ahead of the Teleprompter, Invokes Courtesy Laughter...

Watch our illustrious frat-boy President leave his best friend, teleprompter, behind him in the dust.



HMMM! And yet Sarah Palin was able to give a whole speech at a Republican meeting recently, WITH NO TELEPROMPTER.

Arlen Specter Selling Out Because He's Too Big to Fail!

Today, former GOP turncoat Arlen Specter made it official and switched his party from Republican to full-fledged Democrat. Want to know why he switched? Because in his home state of PA, he is being beaten by a real Republican and was probably not going to be on the ballot in 2010 without drastic measures being taken. Specter's defection is important because if Al Franken is seated as the junior Senator from Minnesota, the Democrats will have the 60 votes they need in the Senate and the freedom to pass whatever laws they want!

At this point, the only thing that is going to prevent this is praying. A supermajority of radical liberals is imminent which I believe will lead to full-fledged persecution of Christians, anti-church legislation, etc.

Flashback Monday. What a HOOT! (non-political)

Okay, I hope Yolanda and Laurie don't get too mad at me for doing flashbacks on Monday, but I couldn't resist this posting! (and I couldn't wait until Friday) These two videos, together about 12 minutes total was on TV in 1985 and featured thousands of stars from TV, movies, music, etc. I remember recording this on a VCR back in Belen, NM and watching it til the VHS tape broke! HA HA HA HA! I also remember snapping pictures with my little camera of some of my favorite stars right on the TV screen. (this was obviously before affordable video cameras and before I learned some couth) LOL! Yolanda will probably die of embarrassment (if she isn't dying from laughter first) from me dredging this back up but she may have actually blocked it from her memory. Anyway, that is my little flashback story. Enjoy! Watch the top video then the bottom one, it picks up where the top one ends.

Have I Told You Lately That I LOVE Liz Cheney?

You've got to watch this "interview" with Liz Cheney (daughter of Dick Cheney) on MSNBC or as I like to call it, The Obama Network. It is about 8 minutes but if you are someone who has their head screwed on straight and believes that the terrorists are the problem and that they deserve to have water dumped over their head for 30 seconds because they kill innocent Americans, it is not nearly long enough. Liz Cheney SCHOOLS Nora O'Donnell and doesn't even break a sweat doing it. Nora O'Donnell actually reads a headline that supports her liberal spineless view that Dick Cheney didn't own up to approving torture. Reading a Headline? Really? From the liberal mainstream media? Nora O'Donnell needs to remember one thing which Liz Cheney makes very clear to her:

“When they (Al Qaeda) capture American soldiers, they cut off their heads.”

Is Your College Student Taking Federal Student Loans? Then No Church For You!

I told you it was coming. The Obama administration promises to sign the bill now known as HR1388 into law when it gets to his desk. It says in a nutshell that if a college student is taking federal student loans to pay for college that they will not be allowed to be... "“engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.” This means no church attendance or witnessing of any kind.

This is what we got when the liberals voted for change!

In Memoriam.

Ann Coulter's mother passed away this week and Ann wrote a beautiful ode to her mother in her column this week.

Quote of the Day.

In honor of earth day (the liberal's version of valentine's day) I wanted to post the following quote.

"When there are no more trees to make paper towels, I'll wipe my hands on spotted owls"
--Anonymous

Why so flippant about the environment you ask? Well let me just clarify, I DO NOT believe in flagrantly or intentionally destroying the environment but I do believe that the granola green-nicks take it too far. The environment should not take precedence over human life, or human progress.

Thanks for reading,
Michael

Quotes of the Day

The political machine is working overtime these days and I wanted to share a couple of quotes with you that have eery relevance to things happening today.

"When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny."
--Thomas Jefferson

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

Weekly Poll Returns!

My weekly poll question is back and better than ever. Please take a few moments to answer the question so I can gauge reader's opinions.

Question of the Day.

Question: Michael, knowing that you are an avid reader, I'd like to know what you have to say about the book that the murderous dictator Hugo Chavez of Venezuela gave to President Obama? And, what do you think Obama will do with the book?

Answer: I think the book, "Veins of Latin America" detailing the "alleged" oppression of Latin America by the USA is an awful book choice because it is full of lies that further victimize the innocent citizens of these countries. As far as what Obama will do with the book, I think he may just toss it on a shelf somewhere in the White House, because I suspect that he and Michelle have already read it back when they were members of the Bill Ayres' America-Haters book club. Thanks for your question.

Quote of the Day

"Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Obama loses his!"

Misuse of a Government Website

The Obama is using the Department of Health and Human Services Website to promote Universal Health Care. I thought these government websites are supposed to provide a service to the citizens of this country, and not push political causes.

Well what do you expect from an administration who is using the full force of the White House to press the issue that Republicans and and Conservatives are "right-wing" extremists?

A President who promised change in the way DC is run is playing politics as usual, no not as usual. I can't think of an adminstration who's every action has been purely politically motivated. Can you imagine the amount of blood shooting out of liberals eyes if Bush had used this website this way?

Quote of the Day

"The thing we still don't know about him (President Obama) is what he is willing to fight for...He likes giving good speeches, he likes the adulation and he likes to make people happy...[But] it's hard to think of a place where he's taken a really hard position"

From the Ridiculous to the Sublime

In my last post I talked about Obama's defense of reaching out to sworn enemies of the US. Well this post will take a much happier tenor. It is about my favorite President of the US and the third greatest US President ever, the Honorable George W. Bush. He was invited to a forum in China to discuss the financial crisis and terrorism. He joked around about walking his dog and carrying a plastic bag to scoop up after the dog.

Read about his appearance at the forum here.

WE LUBYA, DUBYA!!!!

Apparently We'll Reach Out to Terrorists, But Reaching Out to Republicans is Out of the Question.

This week Obama has shaken hands with evil tyrant Hugo Chavez and even accepted a book entitled, "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent" about how the white man has oppressed Latin America. Obama has also lifted the travel ban on Cuba so now we are free to travel and send money to that communist hotbed. Read about how Obama defends his actions here.

But what about Obama's fellow countrymen that are conservative, veterans, and Republicans? Well we've all been labeled right-wing extremist and have replaced Al-Qaeda terrorist as the greatest threat to America. The liberal loons on the left have forgotten how they terrorized Bush with personal attacks and how they defended dissent as patriotic during the Bush years.

Beware those who speak with forked tongue.

In 2010, expect Republicans to sweep the mid-term elections on a wave of grass-root support. What will Obama and liberals do then when they have congressional opposition? I bet they will once again say "dissent is patriotic"

Two-faced hypocrites.

What You Didn't See

This CNN reporter Susan Roesgen (and I use the term reporter very loosely) **cough LIBERAL HACK cough** lambasted a bunch of normal folks protesting big government in Chicago at the recent tax-day tea party. Her clip has been posted and shown on the news since then, but here's what happened after the CNN cameras stopped rolling:



This commie-liberal moron needs to stop worshipping at the shrine of the Obamessiah and start reporting the news in an unbiased manner. Oh, but that would mean that Obama and the liberal kooks in Congress would have to be exposed for the losers they are.

Nancy Pelosi Poo-Poos Tea Parties (say that three times fast!)

Nancy Pelosi, the mentally retarded Speaker of the House, today blasted the Tax Day Tea Parties as being subsidized by the rich. See for yourself.



I think it is time for California to vote this evil inbred out of office!

The Two Faces of the Left

Wow, these liberals are sure two-faced. Look at the difference in demeanor when Susan Roesgen is interviewing conservatives and liberals.

Here is CNN's Susan Roesgen hassling people at a Tea-Party calling them Anti-American, and even Anti-CNN!


Here she is again just as nice as pie, when the protesters are left-wing:


Now watch her as is offended by a poster comparing the Obamessiah to a fascist:



But watch her call an effigy of Bush with a Hitler mustache, a "lookalike":

BAN CNN! (the Communist News Network)

The Most Eloquent President Ever.

I think Obama is SO oblivious to the world around him that he doesn't realize what an idiot he sounds like. If Bush or Palin had said something similar to what Obama says in this video there would have been huge backlash.

I guess the teleprompter was down.

Question of the Day.

Question: Michael I know you are an American who believes that we should not negotiate with terrorists. How then do you feel about President Obama negotiating with Somali pirates holed up in a rubber dinghy not 100 feet from one of the most powerful warships in the US Navy's fleet?

Answer: You are correct, I don't believe that we should negotiate with terrorists. However, I guess if we are going to negotiate, then we should do so from a position of strength and a position of knowing as much as we can about our enemies. These pirates seem a lot like the 40% of Americans that won't get off their lazy butts and get a real job for the first time in their lives, so I think Obama might be successful if he were to offer the pirates a stimulus package. Thanks for your question.

How do You Drive a Liberal Crazy?

Tell 'em that Obama agrees with Bush on the wiretapping issue.

Ha Ha Ha Ha, I just fell off my cousin's barstool from laughing so hard at Keith Olbermann.

Obama, Anti-American? NAH, Couldn't be...

Today, Obama in a press conference in Turkey, said the following,

"one of the great strengths of the United States" is that it does not consider itself "a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values. I think modern Turkey was founded with a similar set of principles."

Here's the video in case you missed Obama's pandering to a muslim nation.



Guess somebody better tell all the men and women who have died and sacrificed for this country, oh and also the founders who formed this country through divine inspiration from GOD HIMSELF!

Obama should be ashamed of himself and we should all be ashamed of this President that says different things depending on what the audience wants to hear.

We all know Michelle Obama has only been proud of her country twice, but I bet she was proud of her husband today!

Was That on Your Teleprompter?

Apparently our intellectual, socialist "thinks-before-he-speaks" President thinks that Austrians speak Austrian.



See what happens when he wings it? BWAH HA HA HA HA!
