A Faux Texan Revealed
Apr 19, 2009 Political
I ran across a story at one of the other sites I peruse, and was – well, I can’t truly say I was surprised, because I know how hypocritical liberals work- rather, I was unpleasantly reminded that even when the liberal is technically a Texan, he can still be a moron. The Texan I speak of is Don Henley, who still has a place on Caddo Lake, in East Texas, but has spent wayyyyy too much time in California, schmoozing with the People Of One Opinion. He has, in the opinion of a sixth generation Texan, lost the right to call himself a Texan. He is just too whiny- it’s embarrassing us here.
Most of Mr. Henley’s music is OK to listen to, a couple of his tracks are even enjoyable, but like most people connected to entertainment in the Cereal State (Nuts, flakes, and the occasional fruit), he is more important to his ego than he is to real life.
A man by the name of Chuck Devore, a Republican, used the tune of the “Boys Of Summer”, a 1984 song (an oldie but moldy) written by Don Henley and Mike Campbell, whoever HE is. Mr. Devore used his own lyrics to parody the song, and as a tool in his bid to run against Sen. Barbara Boxer. Parody is, as I understand it, a protected form of Free Speech (see: Weird Al Yankovic), but Donnie Boy doesn’t like it when a conservative uses a parody of HIS song in a campaign against a liberal.
Now I could be wrong, and the laws may have changed, but I thought that a copyright existed for 20 years, and then the song was in the public domain. I also thought I had heard that the Supreme Court had heard a case similar, actually involving a rapper, where another song was used, and was deemed to be lawful. Mr. Henley should be grateful that someone somewhere thinks that any tune of his would be good enough for a political ad- this is heady stuff, Donnie- you could use the exposure. I guess that may be why he is suing Mr. Devore, he needs the ego boost.
Mr. Henley writes a good song occasionally, but doesn’t seem to listen to what he writes, a common problem among liberals, it seems.
In one song, aptly named “Get Over It”, he writes, in part,
“Complain about the present and blame it on the past,
I’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass-Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin’ and moanin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it
Get over itIt’s gotta stop sometime, so why don’t you quit
Get over it, get over it.”
Words to live by, Donnie- get over it.

Liberals Miss The Point On Blago-Obama
Dec 20, 2008 Political
The liberals who supported the Messiah, Barack Obama, have completely missed the point on his connection to corrupt Governor Blagojevich. The left continues to harp on the “fact” that Obama had nothing to do with what was going on and that it was a shock to the Sainted One. Perhaps this is true though I find it hard to believe that Obama sailed through Illinois politics unscathed and untouched by the turds floating in that sewer system. But, for the sake of argument, let us suppose that Obama is clean.
The Blago issue has brought to light much more important issues than if Obama has been tainted by Illinois corruption. This entire episode has demonstrated that, contrary to his claim of change, Obama is nothing more than a typical politician. His claims of transparency are now null and void as he has lied to America and he has not been transparent. Couple this with the possibility that he was tipped off about the Blago wiretaps (which allowed Valerie Jarrett to conveniently drop out) and we can see that Obama is politics as usual.
When Barack Hussein Obama had the chance to be straight with the American public he decided to lie. Now, this is nothing new to those of us who have not taken a drink of his Kool Aid. He has lied about any number of things and he is covering something up with regard to his birth. But, when the Blago story broke, America had a chance to see the true Obama. He said that no one in his camp had anything to do with it, that no one had been in contact with Blago and that he was shocked at what was taking place.
It turns out that Obama had contact through Rahm Emanuel and that Emanuel was pushing for Jarrett to be given the Senate seat by a certain date. Emanuel was recorded about 21 times conversing with the governor and his aides. From reports about the conversations it appears as if Emanuel was the messenger for Obama who wanted Jarrett to get his seat. This all shows that Obama lied when he said that neither he nor his folks had any contact with Blago or his people. He later amended this to indicate that no “inappropriate” contact had taken place.
This episode only shows that Obama is nothing more than a typical politician who will lie when it is convenient and then change that lie when evidence shows that he is being untruthful. He is not the change we need because nothing has changed.
Not to worry though, Obama has conducted an internal review and concluded that all is fine, above board, and legal. Suppose the Big Three auto makers went to DC and said they had conducted an internal review and that all was well they just needed money. Do you think Obama would be happy with that? Maybe the next time someone is accused of a crime he can tell the judge that he conducted an internal review and no wrong doing occurred. I am sure this will be OK.
The shine is wearing off Obama very rapidly. He is not in office yet and has a mini scandal to deal with. He handled it poorly because he thought that he could do as he has all along and just bamboozle the media and his followers and it would all go away. There are those who are still in the dark and it is unlikely that they will ever change their minds about the Sainted One.
This is why the liberals miss the point.

Pro Palestinian Clooney Advises Obama
Aug 12, 2008 Political
Barack Obama is said to be unnerved by the celebrity tag applied to him by the McCain camp. Obama does not like the ads depicting him as a mega star and he has called such ads a distraction from the issues (though Obama has recently put out a similar “distracting” ad). I wrote before that if Obama did not want to be viewed as some kind of celebrity then perhaps he needs to stop hanging out with celebrities or acting like them.
The sainted one has not learned. He has been hanging out with ultra liberal George Clooney who has been providing advice on how the sainted one can polish his image. Clooney is an actor whose profession is to make people think he is something that he is not. This is a perfect fit for Obama because he is trying to make us think he is something that he certainly is not.
Clooney has tried to keep his contact with Obama under wraps so that the liaison will not damage Obama’s chances at the White House. In other words, Clooney the ultra liberal knows that being an ultra liberal will not sit too well with a majority of this country. He does not want people to make the connection that Obama is as much an ultra liberal because he wants Obama to win.
Clooney text messages Obama and talks to him once or twice a week with advice. For instance, Clooney told Obama that he needed to be more balanced on issues such as US-Israel relations. Clooney is pro Palestinian which means he is on the side of the people who do not recognize Israel’s right to exist and who want support terrorist organizations that are hell bent on destroying Israel. Nice. I am unsure if Clooney wants Obama to be more balanced as in not so favorable toward Israel or more balanced to give an appearance that he supports Israel. Given Obama’s associations with anti-Semitic pastors and so called leaders it is a safe bet that Obama is no friend of Israel.
One of the last things America needs is advice on how we should be run by George Clooney. This is a guy who could not run his own life, who is a past drug abuser (just like Obama), who abuses alcohol and who has slept with countless women. Then again, this guy is perfect for the Democratic nomination…
If Obama wants people to stop thinking of him as some kind of celebrity then he needs to stop hanging around with and taking advice from the very people who help get him labeled with the celebrity tag.
Barack Hussein Obama and George Clooney are two peas in a very liberal pod. God help us if Obama wins especially if he is taking advice from Clooney a man who could not pour water from a pail if the directions were written on the bottom.

Stephen King Pulls a John Kerry
May 6, 2008 Political
During the last election cycle John Kerry told students that it was important to get an education or you would end up in Iraq. This was obviously an insult to the troops but Kerry dismissed it as a botched joke. Perhaps he meant to tell a joke but the Freudian slip told his inner feelings. Given his total disregard for the Vietnam vets with whom he served, it is not hard to see why people believe he meant what he said.
Stephen King, the liberal author, has insulted our troops in a manner that is Kerryesque. King told people that it was important to learn to read and that if you could not read then your options were the “Army and Iraq, something like that. It’s not as bright.”
What this maggot said is that the Army is full of people who cannot read. The members of our military (he said Army but he meant all services) are not bright enough to read so they end up in in the military and places like Iraq.
I know a whole lot of people in the military and everyone I know can read. Most of the people I know can read and comprehend as well or better than Mr. king. Some of the people I know in the military have published technical work that required a bit more than for King to write fictional novels. Quite a few of the people I know in the military have written articles for magazines, newspapers and many have blogs. All of these require the ability to read and write. And while King thinks that people do not have to be as bright to get in the military, I would like to see him fly a plane or a helicopter. I would like to see Stephen King operate an M1 tank or a Patriot Missile battery. I would also like to see him perform the miracles our medical folks do.
Stephen King is a half witted liberal who has lived in a protected world where he can run around and discredit those with whom he disagrees. He is an ungrateful twit who has the freedom to say what he wants because of the men and women of the armed forces who protect our country and our way of life. Stephen King is not fit to carry the boots of any member of the military and all of them will always be a cut above him and his kind.
Mr. King, the members of our military are quite capable of reading and I am sure that many of them helped make you rich by buying and reading your books. However, if you believe that they are unable to read perhaps they should stop buying your literature and maybe they should stop selling it in the exchanges.
Interestingly Mr. King, you chose to insult our troops when none of them were around. Maybe we can get a few of them to go to your next book signing and see if you would be as forthright. Considering where you have your head, at least you will be able to read your own book when they get done with you.

What Changed Hillary?
Feb 19, 2008 General
This picture came off the web and it is reported to be a picture of Hillary when she was a young lady. Probably back when she was preparing to go to college and before she became a Democrat.
The picture picture below features the many faces of Hillary as we know her now:
What changed her from an attractive young lady into an old crumpled, mean, nasty lady who picks her nose in public?
In one word, LIBERALISM.
Mothers and fathers take note and do not raise your daughters as liberals or they will suffer the same fate!
