Even the Flags Hate Hillary
Nov 12, 2007 Political
Talk about a tough span, Hillary has gone through it in the last few weeks. There were her evasive debate answers, planted questions and the broken promise not to do it again with more planted questions. Hillary was on the news and said neither she nor her campaign condone such a thing and yet, it was her campaign that did it. Go figure…
Hillary was at an event yesterday and when she had finished she was turning to leave and an aide pulled open a curtain and all the Flags came crashing down. Hillary and staff tried to catch them before they hit the floor but there is no indication as to how successful they were. The link to the video is gone so I assume someone felt it was not newsworthy and took it down. [UPDATE: Breitbart has the video.] Looks like they handled it OK, considering.
Could this be an indication that veterans of yesteryear oppose Hillary and do not want her as President? Could this be a sign of disrespect from the Flags for all the disrespect she has shown to the military? Perhaps the Karma of her hippie days is coming back to haunt her. Regardless, I can see Hillary at her next speech:
You know, the Flags fell at my feet yesterday. Though they should fall at my feet because they hail me as the next leader of this country and they bow down to my greatness, I know that the real reason they fell is because the Bush administration is not providing support to our Flags. These Flags fell because their President failed to provide the support they need in tough times. He failed to give them a good base from which to wave.
As President, I will tax the rich to ensure Flag bases are weighted properly and I will make sure that no Flag ever has to fall again, except when bowing to my greatness. Within 100 days of taking office I will introduce legislation that is designed to ensure no Flag is ever left with a light base or is left behind a curtain to be knocked off a light base. I will call it the No Flag Left Behind Act (NFLB) and I will fund it from sales of US Flags from the Capitol and by taxing the rich and placing a tax on all the Flag lapel pins and buttons. You think people like Obama won’t wear Flags pins now? Just wait until I tax the damned things, then you will see pin less lapels, my friends. We can’t have people wearing Flags when they might fall over and have a Flag bowing when I am not around!
I remember when I was a little girl my daddy told me we were descendants of Betsy Ross and that my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great Aunt Betsy sewed that Flag in hopes that one day a woman from the family would become President and have Flags bow down to her greatness. It is up to me to be that woman and it is up to you to vote for me because a vote for me is a vote for the Flag [screeched in that nails-on-chalkboard voice].
Yep, it sure has been a tough few weeks for the Hildabeast. And what fun it has been…

Maryland Legislative Hit List
Nov 11, 2007 Political
The Maryland legislature has voted on the largest tax increase in state history and it looks like the tax increases will become law soon barring any unusual events in conference. WBAL radio has posted a list of the vote and how each Delegate and Senator voted. No Republicans voted for tax increases and some of the Democrats joined them.
However, since the Maryland legislature is loaded with Democrats the votes easily passed. I urge every citizen of Maryland to look at the list and make a not of their elected leaders who voted to increase taxes and then vote those people out of office in the next election. I am glad that those who voted for these politicians and that idiot Martin O’Malley will get to feel the immense pain of not being able to make ends meet but I also realize that we need to make the politicians hurt as well.
Look at the list, print it out and put it on the refrigerator so you will be reminded daily of the people who caused the pain. Get your anger intense by election day and make them pay.

Hillary Clinton – Honesty
Nov 11, 2007 Political
Yesterday it was reported that the Clinton campaign admitted that it planted a question at one of the Hildabeast’s speeches in Iowa and the campaign stated that it would not happen again. When I wrote about it I asked if they meant they would not get caught again or if they would not do it again like Bill would not molest women again. It appears that they were, in fact, caught again and it was like Bill not molesting women. A minister is alleging that he campaign tried to get him to ask a question about the war. The campaign wanted a question that would show a difference between Obama and Clinton on the way they have opposed President Bush and the funding for the war in Iraq. The Clinton campaign indicates that they did not ask anyone to ask a question and that their campaign person knows the minister and they were just talking.
The problem is, Minister Geoffrey Mitchell claims he does not know Chris Hayler, the staffer in question. Mitchell stated that he has seen Hayler at other events but the two do not know each other. Now we have a problem with honesty here because, obviously, someone is not telling the truth. While Mitchell is an Obama supporter and could make a false claim what motivation would a minister have to do so given how being caught in a lie would hurt his profession and the people he leads? The entity with something to lose here is the Clinton campaign because the incident, if true, would demonstrate a complete lack of honesty on the part of the campaign. They will have told a lie and broken a promise in a 24 hour time period.
We have already seen that the campaign lacks integrity and now their lack of honesty has been displayed for all to see. This, for those who have a problem distinguishing, is an example of dishonesty and I “double dog dare” anyone to show how it s not.
Of course, if Mitchell is the one lying then it is a different story all together.

Veteran’s Day 2007
Nov 11, 2007 Link Fest, Military
Today we celebrate Veteran’s Day though tomorrow is the day it will be observed. The United States is a great country because it has a history of fighting for what is right and for joining others in fights for what is right. Leading the charge throughout history is the American Military and the great men and women who serve in the armed forces.
There is no draft today and yet men and women step up to the plate to fight the war on terror and to prosecute our actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. These men and women are unsung heroes who are often forgotten until some crisis comes up requiring tough people to do violence on behalf of the protected.
We have the greatest military in the world and, unlike other nations we do not go around conquering countries and taking what they have for our selves. We help them out in their fight and we help them rebuild. Japan and Germany were conquered and yet they prosper today as allies of the US. Many others have us to thank that they still have a native language and that they have not become the property of another, stronger, nation.
Today we thank the men and women who give all for people they do not know in order to make this world a better place. We honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow countrymen. I read this definition of a Veteran at a site this morning: (Big Dog Salute to GM Roper)
“A veteran – whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve – is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The ‘United States of America’, for an amount of ‘up to and including my life.’†(Author unknown) Right in a Left World
Thank you veterans. May God bless you and keep you safe.

Edwards Hears Boos at Mellencamp Concert
Nov 11, 2007 Political
John Edwards was booed at a John Mellencamp concert after the singer paused the show to allow Edwards to come up and speak. He said a few cheesy words and there were tons of boos. Edwards made short work of the interruption and walked to a darkened corner of the stage and stayed there until the show started back up.
What a dolt. Haven’t these politicians and activist singers figured out yet that people, regardless of which political party the belong to, do not want to pay to hear the music at a concert and get an earful of politics. Politicians should pay people to listen to them, not the other way around.
Of course, given the size of John Edwards’ home, maybe he thought the song “Small Town” was about his residence.
