DNC Disenfranchises Florida?

Aug 25, 2007 Uncategorized

The DNC has voted to strip Florida of its delegates if the state keeps its current schedule for the primary. Florida has joined many states in trying to have the earliest primary and be the first state to have a say in the matter. Like the Democratic Party, the states don’t care about anything but being first, being the “one that matters.” The DNC has rules and these rules are being flaunted by Florida and other states as well.

The Threat from Senator Boxer

Aug 21, 2007 Uncategorized

I received an email from Senator Boxer. It is kind of amazing that I do because I had to game the system to get her contact form to accept my email because I am not in her state but she emails me all the time telling me what a great job she is doing. Today she wanted me to see the text of a speech she gave. I read the first few sentences and could go no further. I know that I should read more but if this is what liberals read I will stop right now…

This is the very first part:

Statement of Barbara Boxer
Field Hearing on “Green Job Growth and Global Warming.”
Tuesday, August 14, 2007

Global warming is the greatest environmental threat faced by mankind.
We have now arrived at a time in our history when human activities related to greenhouse gas emissions could bring dangerous consequences.

There you have it. Without any scientific consensus she claims that global warming is not only real but it is the greatest environmental threat, blah, blah. I realize that there are scientists who support the theory but there are equal numbers who do not. The fact that the scientific community was spewing this same tripe at the beginning of the last century should give people pause, but sadly, it does not.

This is the plan of the liberals. They will just keep screaming that this is true and a problem until it is universally accepted. This is like a bad email scam that promises Bill Gates will give us a million dollars if we forward the email so he can test a tracking program (thought I forgot that one,, didn’t you). People get caught up and eventually accept it as true. This is exactly what the global warming fanatics are doing.

Besides, even if global warming were true, it is not the greatest threat to the environment. The greatest would be the gases coming from the excrement in Washington, DC.

Liberals Read While Conservatives Work to Support Them

Aug 21, 2007 Uncategorized

Extreme liberal and former member of Congress Pat Schroeder responded to a poll that indicated those who consider themselves liberal read more books than those who consider themselves conservative. I can not comment on that poll because I do not know anything about the methodology or how scientific the study was. I can say that I read a great number of books every year as does my wife and neither of us are liberal. Schroeder though, chimed in that the reason for this is that people like Karl Rove have made conservatives only live for slogans and that slogans do not make great books. To a liberal lies make great books, witness Clinton’s thriller (that had to be read by three lawyers to ensure he did not perjure himself).

Democrat Congressman Assaults Airport Worker

Aug 20, 2007 Uncategorized

Congressman Bob Filner of California is in a bit of hot water after he got into a tussle with an airport employee. Evidently the Congressman’s bags were slower arriving than he thought they should be. He tried to enter an area that is for employees only and when an employee tried to stop him he pushed the employee.

It appears that this is not the first time Filner has had a display of temper and it might just land him in a little trouble because the employee fled charges. I am willing to bet that Filner’s people will be trying to bury this and get the airport worker to drop charges. They will work this person over to see that it gets “taken care of.”

I travel quite a bit (not as much as the Congressman) and I know that baggage is always delayed. It takes time to unload the plane and then load the stuff on the conveyor. Filner must have been pampered so much as a member of Congress that he felt the wait was unacceptable for a man of his position. So, the best thing to do is to take it out on some poor fellow who is trying to make a living. Filner is a jackass.

I am sure the employee did the right thing. If this guy had pushed me they would be referring to him as the late Congressman Filner. He would have been buried with his luggage firmly placed in his baggage chute…

Clinton Wants to Bring the Troops Home

Aug 20, 2007 Uncategorized

In what seems like her thousandth position on the war, Hillary Rodham says that the best way to honor the troops is to bring them home. I would say that the best way to honor them is to have them win the war but that would just be a difference of opinion between someone who served in the military and someone who has always disliked the military until it became politically necessary to support it. Interestingly, Hillary made her speech during the Summer recess, the time when Congress takes the entire month off and does absolutely nothing while earning a paycheck. While on her vacation Hillary said this about the Iraqi government:

Clinton, seeking the Democratic nomination for president, praised the work that soldiers have done in Iraq but described the Iraqi government as “on vacation,” leaving American troops in the middle of a sectarian war.

So the Iraqi government went on vacation while our troops are in the middle of a war while the American government did, what? I guess that she means the Iraqi government is not supporting our troops because it went on vacation. If that is the case, the same is true for the American government. Of course, our Congress only works 100 days a year while expecting others to do more. That is the way it always is with our Congress.

Hillary Rodham also said that she wanted to strengthen our image abroad and that; ” “People have to root for America,” she said. “They have to want to be on our side.”

I have an idea for Ms. Rodham. How about we start by getting you cut and run losers in Congress to start rooting for America? How about you guys lead by example and show the rest of the world that YOU are rooting for America and not against her. Get Harry Reid and his gang of moonbats to root for us, get Bella Pelosi and her gang of moonbats to root for us and then we can worry about the rest of the world rooting for us.

Hillary derides the Iraqis for being on vacation during a war while she and our Congress is on vacation during a war and then she says we need to get the world to root for us and be on our side while the Democrats in our own government are rooting against us and are not on our side.

Is there any way to be more conflicted?
