Teaming up with Gateway Pundit & Talk Wisdom today…
Background:
NOW – National Organ-ization of (Socialist) Women went into full postal meltdown when they discovered a Pro-Life organization will get air time during the Super Bowl.
awwwww …that pesky First Amendment is such a pain in the Socialist Eugenics Ass, isn’t it Progressives?
The (Socialist/Progressive/Eugenics) Women’s Media Center called on CBS to drop the Focus ad in addition to NOW.
Their biggest complaint seems to be they don’t have money to run a counter ad… a Get an Abortion Ad during the Superbowl.
Hey WMC? Hit George Soros up for the $2 million and get Obama’s OrganizingForAmerica.com wonkers to produce it. lol 😉
Sarah Palin responds to NOW, the League of WOMEN Socialist Eugenicists…
NOW is looking at the pro-life issue backwards. Women should be reminded that they are strong enough and smart enough to make decisions that allow for career and educational opportunities while still giving their babies a chance at life.
Sarah Palin: Women’s Rights Groups: Your Double Standard is Showing
Women’s Rights Groups: Your Double Standard is Showing
Women’s Rights groups, like NOW, commendably call out advertisers and networks for airing sexist and demeaning portrayals of women that lead to young women’s diminished self-esteem and acceptance of roles as mere sexed-up objects.
What a ridiculous situation they’re getting themselves into now with their protest of CBS airing a pro-life ad during the upcoming Super Bowl game. The ad will feature Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mom, and they’ll speak to the sanctity of life and the beautiful potential within every innocent child as Mrs. Tebow acknowledges her choice to give Tim life, despite less than ideal circumstances. Messages like this empower women! This speaks to the strength and commitment and nurturing spirit within women. The message says everything positive and nothing negative about the power of women – and life. Evidently, some women’s rights groups like NOW do not like that message.
NOW is looking at the pro-life issue backwards. Women should be reminded that they are strong enough and smart enough to make decisions that allow for career and educational opportunities while still giving their babies a chance at life. In my own home, my daughter Bristol has also been challenged by pro-abortion “women’s rights” groups who don’t agree with her decision to have her baby, nor do they like the abstinence message which she articulated as her personal commitment. NOW could gain ground and credibility with everyday Americans, thus allowing their pro-women message to be heard by more than just their ardent supporters, if they made wiser decisions regarding which battles to pick. They should call attention to and embrace the Tebows’ message, instead of covertly and overtly disrespecting what Mrs. Tebow, Bristol, and millions of other women have chosen to do (in less than ideal circumstances).
My message to these groups who are inexplicably offended by a pro-woman, pro-child, pro-life message airing during the Super Bowl: please concentrate on empowering women, help with efforts to prevent unexpected pregnancies, stay consistent with your message that for too long women have been made to feel like sex objects in our “modern” culture and that we can expect better in 2010. But don’t let your double standard glare so vividly as to undo some of the good to which you could contribute.
And CBS: just do the right thing. Don’t cave. Have the backbone to run the ad.
To the Tebows: thank you. America is listening. We appreciate you.
– Sarah Palin

Hi, M2.
I tell you the society, the economy, the protection of innocent life – all in tatters.
I dropped my Conservative banner from weakness in the overwhelming fight to stave off disaster. This house divided cannot stand.
Hey SH, saw you didn’t go to Ringling Museum… Did you’all head down to Sarasota anyway at any time? I’ve been to the Ringling house quite a few times. Beautiful pink palace that it is!
Incredible turn of events and thank God that the women of today refuse to let one group dictate what they shall believe. Flower Power has done a 180 in that Women of Values are emboldened to speak their minds also.
God Bless America and God Bless Freedom of Speech.
The Tide of Popular Opinion is turning against the Progressive movement in a big way.

Oh and by the way Barry, you had better start getting used to bowing down to We the People for a change we can believe in.

Climate Change, How IPCC 2007 Made The Real Danger Worse
Jan 25, 2010
By: Andrew_Butter
The danger of Climate Change is not a 59cm rise in sea levels over the next 100 year (perhaps) or a 0.12% drop in World GDP growth per year (perhaps) that is predicted worst case in the IPCC 2007 Report, the danger is something that may never happen, but if it does it will be cataclysmic.
The issue, like any possible, but unlikely event, for example like getting struck by lightning, is should you buy insurance?
I was at the Abu Dhabi World Future Energy Summit for three days last week, educating myself on “The Global War on Warming”.
I’m not a “climate-change” aficionado and I don’t stay up at night agonising over whales either, I went because it was down the road and I got given a Press Pass, so I thought, “why not”?
First reaction; I was disappointed that nothing was scheduled to address the “inconvenient” fact that there seem to be a lot of people who think the whole business of Save-The-World-From-Global-Warming is an expensive farce concocted by politicians looking for votes, scientists looking for grants, and crooks looking for ways to make a quick buck…on less evidence than there was to support the notion that there were WMD in Iraq.
I’d been rather looking forward to watching a bun-fight with eminent scientists scratching each other’s eyes out. After-all it was supposed to be a “summit” not a public relations jamboree; but sadly that was not to be, “media-speak” ruled.
In that regard it was unfortunate that they had Tony Blair deliver the closing speech, he said “the scientific consensus is “reasonably clear except for the wilfully blind””.
I don’t want to sound picky, but that’s what he said about the WMD. Personally I’d have been more convinced if he’d said that Climate Change wasn’t a problem.
I started off sitting in on a presentation by the chairman of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Rajendra Pachauri, who I learned later had accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 on behalf of IPCC along with Al Gore. I’ve noticed he’s been in the news recently, although just to illustrate my level of ignorance I’d like to mention that I’d never heard of him before I sat down to listen to his presentation.
Maybe I heard it wrong, but I distinctly remember someone implying at one point that he (personally) had won a Nobel Prize, in my innocence I had assumed it was for something scientific. I thought to myself, “if anyone is going to convince me to trade in my Land-Cruiser for a Toyota Yaris and stop me eating steak so I can do my bit to “Save-The-World”, this is the guy”.
I wasn’t exactly bowled over.
In fact he said some pretty dumb things, for example he said that Global Warming would affect Abu Dhabi too and what that would mean would be more heat-waves, and it would also have catastrophic effects on the water supply. Well I may not know anything about the Grand Plan to save the world, but I do know how to count.
If you look at the timeline of temperature in UAE going back thirty years (I did), the summer time averages have hardly budged; it’s the winter temperature that’s going up; that’s GOOD for UAE, since it is a winter-sun tourism destination, anyway in the summer if it’s 45 Degrees or 55 Degrees outside, who cares, you have the AC on.
With regard to water, well the UAE desalinates practically all it’s water, so how Global Warming is going to interrupt that process which requires inputs of sea-water and natural gas, I have no idea.
OK I’m nitpicking, those are small points, but half truths and improperly researched statements start those little alarm bells ringing in my head, I’ve found out from bitter experience that when people bullshit you on the small things, they are likely to bullshit you on the big things too. And on that score, I also recollect that he never made it clear that it was not him (personally) who won the Noble Prize.
Later on in a press conference he was getting grilled about someone’s prediction that Indian glaciers on the Himalayas would disappear by 2035, which he had apparently endorsed; he said (quote), “I never used that example in any of my presentations”, and that regardless the “science is sound”.
Thanks to the marvels of modern science I looked him up on Google, SHOCK AND HORROR…he’s an ECONOMIST!!!
As if economists can tell the difference between “sound science” and “spin”? The evidence from recent credit crunch debacle is they can’t even do that for economics, witness the delegation from the LSE who wrote to the Queen of England apologizing for their inability to anticipate economic cause and effect one year in advance, forget about twenty years in advance.
Anyway, Pachauri’s line was that IPCC relied on 1,600 scientists to come up with their latest doomsday report, so that’s got to be OK.
Well Allan Greenspan had 2,200 PhD economists helping him to do “inflation targeting” and look what happened there. On the subject of “experts”, I don’t know how many intelligence-rocket-scientists they had “discovering” WMD in Iraq (that’s classified, it’s National Security), but I’m sure it was a lot, and I’m sure that they were all “experts”.
There was no mention either at any point of the pro-climate change scientists that got caught sending e-mails about fudging their results and suppressing publication of opinions that contradicted theirs at East Anglia University. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/..
That was possibly because everyone was on their best behaviour, the Government of Abu Dhabi was trying to do their best and to do the “right thing”, they always do, they are like the Australians and the Norwegians in that regard; the event was superbly organised with no expenses spared, and they should be complimented and commended for that.
But one got the impression that all the experts were getting paid top dollar with First Class air-tickets thrown in, and that’s why they were on their best behaviour.
Perhaps next time perhaps they will fly in some long-haired-hippies to stand outside with banners throwing eggs at people…(First Class of course). Somehow these things don’t really work unless you got those guys on the ticket, this time all they got was me, and I’m a bit too old to throw eggs at people.
The truth is that the fun and games by the jerks at the University of East Anglia might count as “sound science” to an economist, and the story put out by the IPCC is, “well they were just horsing around”. But to any serious scientist that sort of talk is the equivalent of a choirmaster getting caught downloading child-porn….and saying “don’t be alarmed, I was just horsing around”.
My general impression of the “salesmen” of the Save-Us-From-Global-Warming-The World-Is-Coming-To-an-End Movement was that if there really is a problem, then they need to consider using people to front up their campaign who (a) know the difference between “sound science” and “spin”, and (b) are not known to be pathological liars, like Tony Blair; (pay him $500,000 and he’ll say anything).
Otherwise they are going to get nowhere fast, which is about how far they got since the Kyoto Protocol was signed in December 1997.
And I’m not talking about “raising awareness”; sure, every six year-old knows that CO2 causes global warming and that is BAD, so to be GOOD we have to cut back on CO2 emissions or the cuddly polar bears won’t like it. But is that a “result”? Frankly if I see another picture of a polar bear gazing wistfully into the sunset advertising some Green-wash product, I’m going to vomit.
What I’m talking about is doing something practical about the problem insofar as the people who believe in that perceive it.
On that score, since the Kyoto Treaty was signed in December 1997, the rate of carbon emissions worldwide has gone up by 40%, even though the idea was a drop of 5.2% by 2012. In 2008 they went up 1.94%.
Sure, a lot of people have made a lot of money, for example Chinese manufactures made a fortune out of the subsidies the German government put up for people to put solar panels on their roofs, and the “industry” is creating thousands of jobs, particularly for “believers” working on government (taxpayer) payrolls, but is that the point?
Poor Commie Libs… They don’t have the money to get a commercial made?
Oh, if they could only use a brain. What does that tell you? It tells me your message is CR&P! No one buys into your agenda to spend money on it. WAH!
I just don’t understand why the pro-choice ppl care. Can’t ppl do what they want? No I guess not. Progressives have to censor non-proggressive views like the white house censoring critics of healthcare and trying to delegitimize fox news… They can’t win in the arena of ideas.
Even now Obama is gonna backpeddle and pretend to care about fiscal responsibility. But what diff does a 15 billion dollar freeze make on over 6 trillion?
I say the Dems are going to pretend to be conservatives again to get re-elected. That’s all they ever do.
Well the jig is up! The entire population has seen what 1 year of unfettered liberal rule is like and how they really are in power. No one can clean up their arrogance and hatred, no one will believe they are conservative when they start to suddenly care about fiscal matters…
LOVE IT!!!

The total inability for the DC Progressives to process the fact that they were told NO MEANS NO reminds me of this commercial.
M2,
I found another part of his speech they removed…
“Why won’t you bow to me? I’m your Messiah!”
Sad…
Sami, He will be late. He has to spend some quiet time by himself as he contemplates “Why me? I was supposed to be the Savior…”
I’m not gonna watch the S. of the U. Because it’d just be pointless… Though I’d like to watch to compare the arrogant fist pumping and Nancy jumping from last year… And how degraded it is this year.
I am hoping for an outburst of YOU LIE to happen over and over again. Now that would be a message one could not forget.
I have to predict a 5 point drop in Obama’s poll numbers after he tries to BS his way out of our current economic situation.
Yep, a 5 point drop.
It would be great if every pause he made in his speech, a group would yell our “YOU LIE!”
It would be a long speech, but I’d watch it.
Like minds, Sami! 🙂
I also expect to see that Smug Face look he give when people applaud him. Puck, gag, puck. He sickens me. But then I expect the RA EYES to Flash as he pounds his dainty little fist down on the podium. It will be fun to watch Pelosi facial expressions as he speaks. Wait a minuet, she only has one. Unless she see’s Joe Wilson that is! lol
Of course Harry Reid will have his usual Embalmed look going on. Don’t expect anything new from his LAST appearance at a State of the Union Address.

I’m debating on watching it. I didn’t sleep good last night. We’ll see. 🙂
Hey Foxwood

Hi Arlene – good to see you.
M2 – when you come back on, I want to answer your question. I flew into Tampa but I stayed with friends in Sarasota. Next visit I will do the museums. It is a lovely area albeit growing like topsy and looking it, too. I get so tired of all beautiful areas after discovery being turned into capitalist theme parks with all the stores and restaurants from around the nation there and lousy strip malls, etc.
Am going to take a CAT nap. See you a bit later. Save some cold cuts for me, Arlene, I just want a light supper.
the beer ads get you drunk enough to drive behind the wheel & endangers lives …. but that’s OK w/women’s group.
But someone who narrowly escapes being aborted, celebrates life in an ad,… & we see the women group goes rabid.
What’s the deal?
Mark my word, if this nation continue to make abortion the norm, it wont be long before our government make it MANDATORY to abort babies who are determined to have disabilities.

I’ll save you a plate 🙂

Good Evening Everyone!
One pissed off senior!
Date: Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 11:26 AM
It is a shame that we have to move to such lengths
to get our point across to AARP, isn’t it?
The disillusionment on the Internet is becoming
increasingly repetitive – the country’s backbone is
waking up. Will they listen? Or do we have to
embrace the radicals she mentions?
This was sent to Mr. Rand who is the Executive
Director of AARP.
ThIS LADY NOT ONLY HAS A GRASP OF ‘THE SITUATION’
BUT AN INCREDIBLE COMMAND OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!
This has been authenticated by Snopes –
http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/aarp.asp
Dear Mr. Rand,
Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to
renew our lapsed membership in AARP by the requested
date. I know it is not what you were looking for,
but this is the most honest response I can give you.
Our gap in coverage is merely a microscopic symptom
of the real problem, a deepening lack of faith.
While we have proudly maintained our membership
for several years and have long admired the AARP
goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer
endorse it’s abdication of our values. Your letter
specifically stated that we can count on AARP to
speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is
not ours. Your offer of being kept up to date on
important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents
neither an impartial view nor the one we have come
to embrace. We do believe that when two parties
agree all the time on everything presented to them,
one is probably not necessary. But, when the
opinions and long term goals are diametrically
opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the
philosophy which spawned our 200 years of
government.
Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part
of the senior demographic. We also looked to AARP to
provide certain benefits and give our voice a power
we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own.
AARP gave us a sense of belonging which we no longer
enjoy. The Socialist politics practiced by the Obama
administration and empowered by AARP serves only to
raise the blood pressure my medical insurance
strives to contain. Clearly a conflict of interest
there!
We do not understand the AARP posture, feel
greatly betrayed by the guiding forces that we
expected to map out our senior years and leave your
ranks with a great sense of regret. We mitigate that
disappointment with the relief of knowing that we
are not contributing to the problem anymore by
renewing our membership. There are numerous other
organizations which offer discounts without
threatening our way of life or offending our
sensibilities.
This Presidential Administration scares the living
daylights out of us. Not just for ourselves, but for
our proud and bloodstained heritage. But even more
importantly for our children and grandchildren.
Washington has rendered Soylent Green a prophetic
cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction scare
tactic. I have never in my life endorsed any
militant or radical groups, yet now I find myself
listening to them.. I don’t have to agree with them
to appreciate the fear which birthed their
existence. Their borderline insanity presents little
more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist
mindset in power. Perhaps I became American by a
great stroke of luck in some cosmic uterine lottery,
but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and
nurture the freedoms it represents as well as the
responsibilities it requires.
Your website generously offers us the opportunity
to receive all communication in Spanish. ARE YOU
KIDDING??? Someone has broken into our ‘house’,
invaded our home without our invitation or consent.
The President has insisted we keep the perpetrator
in comfort and learn the perps language so we can
communicate our reluctant welcome to them.
I DON’T choose to welcome them.
I DON’T choose to support them.
I DON’T choose to educate them.
I DON’T choose to medicate them, pay for their
food or clothing.
American home invaders get arrested.
Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can
enjoy privileges on American soil that Americans do
not get?
Why do some immigrants have to play the game to be
welcomed and others only have to break & enter to be
welcomed?
We travel for a living. Walt hauls horses all over
this great country, averaging over 10,000 miles a
month when he is out there. He meets more people
than a politician on caffeine overdose. Of all the
many good folks he enjoyed on this last 10,000
miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the
current administration. One of us is out of touch
with mainstream America. Since our poll is conducted
without funding, I have more faith in it than one
which is power driven..
We have decided to forward this to everyone on our
mailing list, and will encourage them to do the
same. With several hundred in my address book, I
have every faith that the eventual exponential

Anybody watching Liar! Liar! Pants on Fire! tonight?

I wouldn’t miss it for the world. It should be the best comedy show on tonight.
He had better not BLAME BUSH FOR ANY OF THIS CRAP HE’S PULLED IN THE PAST YEAR!
A little humor.
A woman went to her doctor for advice.
She told him that her husband had developed a penchant for anal sex, and she was not sure that it was such a good idea.
‘Do you enjoy it?’ The doctor asked. ‘Actually, yes, I do. ”Does it hurt you?’ he asked. ‘No. I rather like it.’ ‘Well, then,’ the doctor continued, ‘there’s no reason that you shouldn’t practice anal sex, if that’s what you like, so long as you take care not to get pregnant.’
The woman was mystified.
‘What? You can get pregnant from anal sex?’
‘Of course, ‘ the doctor replied. ‘Where do you think people like Nancy Pelosi come from.’
If it goes from Liar Liar to the blame game then I might have to turn the station.
I copied this from a comment I made earlier. This is just so damn funny. This is an email I got today.
RE: DONATIONS FOR HAITI
I saw on the internet that Haiti is without a government. To help out, I am donating one Obama, one Pelosi, one Reid, one Frank, one Geithner and two Clintons! They may keep them permanently! I’d give them a constitution since we’re not using ours right now!! ~~~
Good one belle! How are you?
I’m hearing snippets of what Obutthole will be saying tonight and it seems to bring out the tourettes out in me.
I would need to take my entire months blood pressure medication at once to be able to watch the Liar in chief tonight.
Hello Tellit and Fox!
Doing well. I’ve been a little busy the past couple of days… I’ve been reading over 70 State of the Union addresses. I will call Otrauma out if he takes from someone elses address. And yes it was very boring to do this. haha

One of the STUPIDEST thing ever said.
I’d rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president.”
Well, if he was a really good one-term president, he would be a two-term president. Sir, and I mean that loosely, your a CRAPPY president.
Obama’s real message to the american people tonight.
Arlene said she was making cold cuts… I got mustard greens going… That’s my entre’ for the SOTU…
Foxwood, I would prefer an impeached president. Screw him finishing out his term. That’s three more years of damage this country can’t afford.
Fox
Obama may not make it thru this presidency. I heard that Hillary will not go for another term as SOS.
And I think SOS job is a 2 yr. job. If that’s the case, Hillary is gonna tear Obama a new butt hole. The Clintons want their legacy repaired.
fix
hubby changed the menu. So we had scalloped potatoes, macaroni & cheese & apple crumb cake & ice tea.
I have a prediction to make and I want to know what you all think. If the democrat party gets nuked in November his presidency will be history. The dems will blame him for the defeat and throw him under the bus big time for revenge. I think they will sink him with the yet unresolved birth issue.
Hi Arlene! How are you?
If the there is a democrat blood bath in Novemeber (as predicted)the nuclear option will become how to blow up the Obama presidency.
The only thing I am loking forward to tonight is Scott Brown’s rebuttal.
A small sample of what you will hear and see tonight.
Here is an appropiate Aerosmith song for tonight.
I had mom on the phone.
“scalloped potatoes”?
Home made? Mmmmmmm……
A song for Michele Obama. lol
Hello Foxwood!
Tellit, I’d like to see him out after this SOTU speech, but it’s not gonna happen. At least Joe would be transparent because of his mouth…
I was gonna be like Belle and write on my blog, but I think I will wait and see if there are any goodies to add to it.
Dude looks like a lady… That makes Obutthole… Oh my…
Tellit, Who do you think plays the man role?
Foxwood, The long knives are coming out against him in the democrat party. If the liberal media turns on him. game over!
Foxwood, His daughter Sasha. lol

Belle, you know he can’t get a damn thing straight.

The Democrats better Run for the Hills now that he has said all this Bull!
The greatest danger to the American people… YOU!
THERE IS A REASON WHY THE MILITARY MEN WEREN’T APPLAUDING THAT COMMENT. 7 MONTHS???
OMG, DOES THIS ASSHOLE THINK THAT RUSSIA WILL ABIDE BY ANY NUCLEAR TREATY. HE WILL DISARM US AND WE WILL BE DOOMED! WHERE DID THIS STUPID F*CKER COME FROM?
The bullsh!t coming out of this mouth is colossal. I bet it fills the room before the end of his speech.
The Republicans are not the Party of NO.
WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE PARTY OF NO!
NO OBAMA
NO POLOSI
NO REID
NO SOCIALIST PROGRESSIVES IN AMERICA
Punish the banks ( “but I’m really not doing that”), the rich, the Republicans and the constitution. All that punishment and he says it won’t hurt much?
I wish he would do here what he is doing in Haiti. He could have rebuilt this nation ten times over with the cost of one of his trips. I don’t hear him promise that he will cut his travel, do I? Is that why he got so much of it in during the first term – so that he can freeze that expense at that level?
YOU LIE
YOU LIE
YOU LIE
YOU LIE
YOU LIE
OK – gays will have that law repealed. He ends with a cherry on top.
Add to that equal pay for women
Need to fix immigration system – getting that in under the wire here. Doesn’t want to do anything more than work on this quietly in a back room before springing it on us.
OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!!!
HE JUST OPENED THE DOOR TO MEXICO!
OMG, HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION NOW. HE WIPES HIS ASS WITH THE CONSTITUTION EVERY DAY. NO CLAPING FROM THE MILITARY. YEA OBAMA JUST OPEN UP THE BORDERS AND LET THE LAW BREAKERS IN TO SUCK OF THE GOVERNMENT.
THIS MAN HAS JUST IN ONE HOUR COMMITTED POLITICAL SUICIDE !
BTW… MEXICO IS WHERE RUSSIA WILL MOVE THEIR NUKES. THEY WILL BE POINTING RIGHT AT US. HOPEFULLY THAT AIM FOR WASHINGTON FIRST.
The change I can believe in is, I had to change my shorts after this bullsh!t speech.
THE CHANGE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT IS A NEW PRESIDENT ! ASAP!
Hey the phrase is: in God we trust; not in Obama we trust.
Change we can believe in? I never said it would be easy or that I could do it alone? Democracy noisy etc. but “it’s complicated.” Great movie!
He takes on low poll numbers as a sacred trust.
Keep hope alive, brother Barack
Will somebody please tell Otrauma THAT WE ARE A REPUBLIC!!
The applause has been very,very, light all evening.
None of us are willing to consider we might believe you.
I’m going to send Obama my allowance and ask that he use it to buy off a lobbyist.
He’s not a quitter. Oh, one for the Gipper.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OBAMA’S BUST WANTED TO COMMENT:
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it. — Abraham Lincoln.
God bless America??? It’s more like God pray For America!
HEY JACKASS WE DON’T QUIT EITHER! IF I DIE BEFORE THE ELECTION OF 2010 I WILLASK GOD TO BRING ME BACK TO LIFE SO I CAN VOTE IN 2010.
Obama don’t realize that he is now an insider in D.C., still on the campaign trail.

INTIMIDATION OF OUR SUPREME COURT.
YOU GOT TROUBLE NOW OBAMA!
YES YOU DO, NO YOU CAN’T.
Hey Juan! You really believe he cut taxes?
Assclown Chris Matthews just said that he forgot Obama was a black man when he spoke. What the hell is that supposed to mean??
OBAMA CLEARLY DOESN’T GET IT BUT THE WAKE UP CALL WILL COME IN NOVEMBER!
STUPID PEOPLE JUST DON’T LEARN. THANK GOD IN THIS CASE.
I think Matthews just pulled a Harry Reid!
Damn the Constituents, Full speed ahead.

Fact Check: How State of Union Compares With Reality
AP
A look at some of Obama’s claims in the State of the Union and how they compare with the facts

Decrease Font A A A Increase Font
WASHINGTON — President Obama, who once considered government spending freezes a hatchet job, told Americans on Wednesday it’s now part of his solution to the exploding deficit. He didn’t explain what had changed.
His State of the Union speech skipped over a variety of complex realities in laying out a “commonsense” call to action.
A look at some of his claims and how they compare with the facts:
OBAMA: “Starting in 2011, we are prepared to freeze government spending for three years. Spending related to our national security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will not be affected. But all other discretionary government programs will. Like any cash-strapped family, we will work within a budget to invest in what we need and sacrifice what we don’t.”
THE FACTS: The anticipated savings from this proposal would amount to less than one percent of the deficit — and that’s if the president can persuade Congress to go along.
Obama is a convert to the cause of broad spending freezes. In the presidential campaign, he criticized Republican opponent John McCain for suggesting one. “The problem with a spending freeze is you’re using a hatchet where you need a scalpel,” he said a month before the election. Now, Obama wants domestic spending held steady in most areas where the government can control year to year costs. The proposal is similar to McCain’s.
——
OBAMA: “I’ve called for a bipartisan fiscal commission, modeled on a proposal by Republican Judd Gregg and Democrat Kent Conrad. This can’t be one of those Washington gimmicks that lets us pretend we solved a problem. The commission will have to provide a specific set of solutions by a certain deadline. Yesterday, the Senate blocked a bill that would have created this commission. So I will issue an executive order that will allow us to go forward, because I refuse to pass this problem on to another generation of Americans.”
THE FACTS: Any commission that Obama creates would be a weak substitute for what he really wanted — a commission created by Congress that could force lawmakers to consider unpopular remedies to reduce the debt, including curbing politically sensitive entitlements like Social Security and Medicare. That idea crashed in the Senate this week, defeated by equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans. Any commission set up by Obama alone would lack authority to force its recommendations before Congress, and would stand almost no chance of success.
——
OBAMA: The president issued a populist broadside against lobbyists, saying they have “outsized influence” over the government. He said his administration has “excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs.” He also said it’s time to “require lobbyists to disclose each contact they make on behalf of a client with my administration or Congress” and “to put strict limits on the contributions that lobbyists give to candidates for federal office.”
THE FACTS: Obama has limited the hiring of lobbyists for administration jobs, but the ban isn’t absolute; seven waivers from the ban have been granted to White House officials alone. Getting lobbyists to report every contact they make with the federal government would be difficult at best; Congress would have to change the law, and that’s unlikely to happen. And lobbyists already are subject to strict limits on political giving. Just like every other American, they’re limited to giving $2,400 per election to federal candidates, with an overall ceiling of $115,500 every two years.
——
OBAMA: He called for action by the White House and Congress “to do our work openly, and to give our people the government they deserve.”
THE FACTS: Obama skipped past a broken promise from his campaign — to have the negotiations for health care legislation broadcast on C-SPAN “so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies.” Instead, Democrats in the White House and Congress have conducted the usual private negotiations, making multibillion-dollar deals with hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and other stakeholders behind closed doors. Nor has Obama lived up consistently to his pledge to ensure that legislation is posted online for five days before it’s acted upon.

SamI
Obama was telling congress to veto Supreme Court decision. Did you see the Justices talking to each other? I don’t think they liked Obama bucking them.
Here you go!
Arlene that Supreme court comment will come back to bite his sorry as$ over and over again.
Notice he did not mention the Civil Court trials for terrorists or the closing of our base in Cuba.
Good night all 🙂
I am going to call it a night as well.
I’ll talk to you guys in the morning.
Ohio
Matthews was saying that Obama dropped his negro dialect, but when he looked it him he realized O was black. Yep, Matthews was pulling a Harry Reid stunt.
Well Im getting ready for bed. Stay strong everybody. Its been a rough nite. But we will prevail over this all this mess.
SamI, btw.. did you notice the shock look on Gingsberg & Sotomayor’s face when Obama rebuked the court? Obama is 1 ignorant ass fool. I wonder what Reid & Biden think of his ass now?
Obama has no idea of the irony of his program. To pay for it, will require higher taxes.
Sieg Heil und Guten Morgan fellow unAmerican Nazis!
It’s time to unfurl the Confederate Swastika and fire the cannon!
Good Morning Foxwood and my Fellow Patriots
I stayed up too late…
VF is a little late getting here this morning, Hmmm, bet she is cooking up a meal best served Cold. lol
