re: Turkey
I’ve never witnessed a clearer example of sedition and treason in a time of war.
Cokey and Sam are total goofballs!
That was pretty hilarious. They actually think they can resurrect him.
Excellent post here great job Tarheel.
Gotta go to work, this was fun.
Hmmmm...I believe you have a more desirable variety of beverage selection than I do.
PoC
IMNSHO,
Tanredo hammered the last nail in his political coffin.
Rabies shots are pretty much mandatory over here, hence the six month quarantine when bringing a pet into the UK from the USA.
Agreed.
Perhaps now would be a good time for a congressional resolution regarding our post-civil war reconstruction era and how the Democrats of the day screwed the freed slaves. How about some footage of KKK rallies emphasizing the difficulty the Dems had eliminating this black mark from their ranks.....
Okay, here’s the story of the RINO and the insult.
I’ve been active with Delaware politics of late, joining the Sussex county Repub Women’s Club and attending Sussex county monthly Repub meetings.
I am acquainted with the Chairman of the Sussex county Repub party but just in passing. He is a Blogger and so am I thus we talk about it, we discuss politics, he leads the monthly meetings. At times I hang around after the monthly meeting and talk….duh…politics.
Dave Burris’ Blog is:
http://firststatepolitics.wordpress.com/ should anyone care. Dave is resigning as head of the Sussex county Repub party because, well he says he wants more time with his family but I think he’s going to head a local guy’s run for Delaware’s Governor. The more important thing to know here is that Delaware has THREE counties. One is Sussex county which, oddly, although located in a very small state, is the largest county east of the Mississippi. It is also very conservative in terms of idealogy.
I love Sussex county. The churches are filled each Sunday, the people INSIST on conservative representatives, not the RINOS from up north, …in short the people of Sussex county Delaware are much…like me as a matter of fact. Stick tongue in cheek here and smile ruefully.
So I’ve been involved with all this pubbie stuff in Delaware’s Sussex county and been right happy doing it, in fact. I manned the pubbie booth at the Delaware state fair. I shared the job with a fellow I’d met at a monthly meeting, a great guy, married with four kids. He’s devoted to his family and has a great smile. A couple of years ago he threw his hat in the ring and ran for senator. No, not senator like Joe Biden, but a Delaware senator. Like the federal government, Delaware has senators and representatives. The representatives in Dover, based on population, are Republican majority because MOST OF DELAWARE is conservative save the cheats in Wilmington.
I also was head of the advertisement for a recent fundraiser put on by the Sussex County Repub Women’s Club…SCRWC. I wrote and promoted ads for the mighty annual banquet, I worked the front desk the night of the banquet, I even donated a bunch of mine own books, written by me, for the Chinese auction. The SCRWC is one mighty organization and raises a great deal of money for the pub party. I’m right in there and working like the dickens. In fact, I am involved as a consultant for two of the biggest businesses here in Sussex county and I got them both to put big advertisements in the banquet’s booklet. So I went out there and raised money, yes I did. I estimate that for this banquet I alone raised over $5 grand, yes I did.
I began to frequent Burris’ Blog. Now here was something a bit different for while I regularly post on FreeRepublic, I don’t really KNOW anyone on Freerepublic save via the Internet. In the case of the Burris Blog, well hell’s bells, a lot of those posters KNOW me, personally like.
Kinda cool.
But hey, not only am I vivacious and happening in person (and not bad looking for a middle aged woman, that seems to be an important thing about women), insert wink here, BUT I CAN WRITE! Well the shock of it! These folks who knew me, mostly men but a few women, were surprised by this. Women don’t read Blogs as much as men, I don’t know why.
Well the folks from Sussex county knew me. It was the RINOS from up north all posting with nastiness that didn’t know me from Adam.
Yon readers, RINOS are as nasty as the Dems whose idealology they often espouse. RINO means Republican in Name Only. I didn’t know this about the nastiness. I thought, well they might be RINOS but hey, they have some kind conservatism in them, right?
Many of them are members of Delaware’s mighty teacher’s union so that makes them schizoid. Conservative philosophy is not especially favorable to a union that would kill creativity while promoting mediocrity. But these teachers might have children or causes that are conservative in nature. Thus we have a RINO and Delaware tends to elect RINO politicians like Mike Castle, our REPUB RINO rep…you can study his history. Hint-he voted in FAVOR of embryonic stem cell research and AGAINST drilling in Anwar. The RINOS in Delaware LOVE Mike Castle while the Repubs in Sussex county can’t stand the man.
So I go and start posting on this Burris Blog and lo and behold there’s RINOS all over the place. I made some nasty post about Mike Castle and they jumped all over me. That’s when I began to understand the phenomena of the “slightly” blue state like Delaware.
In one post I complained that the Repubs in Delaware are a tightly guarded group of elites who show no imagination and , indeed, don’t even represent the state’s demographic. I made some reference to the annual Delaware Repub convention and the “delegates”, all of whom are people I’ve never heard of in many cases but yet these people have the power to nominate the candidates for Governor, senator, rep and such.
This is a common complaint, especially in Delaware’s Sussex County. Sussex county will often back an independent candidate rather than the “official” nominee of Delaware’s Repub party because, well we usually hate them. Said nominees nominated by “delegates” given the job by, well I don’t know who.
It’s been said that I have a big mouth, or else loud fingers as the case may be. So I post my lament about the elite delegates of the Del Repub party always nominating candidates, lousy ones that don’t even come close I might add.
Evidently I offended some fellow from Wilmington (ALL the RINOS are from Wilmington) who then launched into a rant against me that….well it was blistering.
I don’t have the link to this post and I won’t go searching for it. Because after this guy did this I immediately posted that I would never post to this thread again because, hey I do this stuff. People who are vexations to my spirit don’t get second thought from me. Life is too short and there’s plenty of genuinely nice and fair people on this planet.
But I’ll paraphrase his shocking response…”You should get off of your fat ass (my ass is a bit big but I’ve seen far bigger, what’s the obsession with my butt?) and go out to a meeting once in a while. People like you just sit and complain but don’t lift your finger to help. Sit and talk to Bob Lee after a monthly meeting (Ed note-Lee was a Repub candidate for Governor in 2004 and Bob is his son…ALSO A delegate to the Del Repub convention). You should volunteer to work at the Delaware state fair. You should work for the women’s repub club and help raise some money”.
Well this guy’s rant went on and on so now you know why I delineated the things I’d been doing for Del’s repub party above because I had done PRECISELY all the things he accused me and my fat ass of NOT doing.
That’s when I wrote my withering response to his lies, this REPUBLICAN ELITE because his clueless response illustrated EXACTLY what I’d been saying. His world view didn’t go beyond a few folks in his surround.
Of course many of the other posters tuned in and defended me. My Delaware state fair buddy said he worked with me for four hours and found me delightful and fun. Bob Lee said he’d chatted with me after a recent meeting and he enjoyed my discourse. Young Lee also said that perhaps, what with his father having been a candidate for Governor, he would be viewed as the ELITEs I’d been describing. Duh. Others piped up about chats they’d had with me and how much they enjoyed what I had to say.
Oh yeah….I can talk. There’s been times I’ve had a circle of them around me and I’d be putting on a show to beat the band, such is my sometimes humorous passion on some things.
So the fellow who wrote that stupid response did apologize on the Blog and he did it sweetly. He said he was so sorry he opened his mouth and inserted his foot, that if I never spoke to him again (which I told him I would not) he would forever be a lesser person for it (well that is a rather nice sentiment) and yada, yada.
Frankly I don’t know the guy and will likely never meet him. But he jumped in with his stock response to any who would dare to suggest that maybe these entrenched so deep that they don’t see the horizon should rethink how they do things. It was a PERFECT example of the political elite, right there in front of the world’s lying eyes.
Anyway, let me get on to the Rush Limbaugh thing. I’ve bored you enough.
c-span now talking about the Dream Act AMNESTY Bill
All the panelists support the Dream Act Amnesty
Cardinal Mahoney and makes ALL illegal minors into anchor babies.
The Cardinal is LYING, the dream act will be AMNESTY and serial immigration.
(legal status= CITIZENSHIP AMNESTY) It is stunning to see a cardinal so dispicipably advocate this.
HE IS ADVOCATING PEOPLE CALL CONGRESS!!
HEADS UP FOLKS THIS CARDINAL IS AVOCATING THIS BILL!
Martinez is saying he supports this AMNESTY bill.
THESE ARE ILLEGALS, this is to turn them into anchor babies for serial immigration amnesty.
C-span
Sen Marinez just admitted he hears from the opposition to amnesty forces regarding the dream act.
HE SAID THE DREAM ACT AMNESTY MAY BE PASSED BY THANKSGIVING!
Heads up folks!
Wolfie has the head of Blackwater on. Wolfie is reading him all of the comments about how there was no shooting at the contractors.
Let me ask you all, does anyone think that trained professionals protecting a US diplomat just decided to go ballistic and start shooting down civilians on the street in the middle of the day? It does not pass the smell test.
Rush had many gems sprinkled throughout
his appearance Friday

Just one of them ..
“RUSH: (laughing) I’ll tell you another funny story, but this one is true.
(laughter)
RUSH: Everything up to the elevator in the Hillary story was true, too. The other was just a joke for — Do you know how mad liberals in this crowd are right now? I have just made fun of the woman they think should be queen for life. At any rate, this next story is true.
Early on in my career with this show — I guess 1990 — there’s a group called Council on Foreign Policy. No, no, no. It’s the conservative version of the Council on Foreign Relations. They’re trying to do what the CFR does. I forget their acronym. I’m invited to speak by Paul Weyrich and a couple other people, to be the emcee their annual dinner. Bill Bennett is going to be honored for scholarly work and so forth. I’m supposed to be the emcee. So I said, “Sure, I’d be honored to speak to this group.”
It was at the Ritz-Carlton near the Pentagon, and it’s a dinner. So it’s in a hotel ballroom with circular tables of ten, and I told the following story, thinking, “This can’t lose.”
You know, as the emcee, you’re supposed to open up with a joke. But this was a true story. It goes back to the mid-eighties.
Senator Kennedy was vacationing off the coast of the south of France with this nubile, young, scantily clad woman. We know it because tabloid photographers in helicopters were snapping pictures, and the pictures were published in the New York Daily News.
They published three of them. The first picture showed the couple cavorting on the boat. In the next picture, the woman is in the water, swimming around and frolicking. Senator Kennedy — in what had to be a first — dove in after her to be with her.
(laughter)
RUSH: Then the third picture is of them back in the boat frolicking and cavorting, and those pictures made it around Washington, DC. So this was in the paper, and it got to Howell Heflin, who is now deceased, but was a big bear of a man, senator from Alabama, and he’s looking at the pictures, and he said, “Well, I do declare! It look to me like the senator has done changed his position on offshore drillin’!”
(laughter)
RUSH: Folks, you’re chuckling at this. The room that I was in was a bunch of conservatives. Half of them laughed nervously. The other half was dead silent, staring to me like I have just committed the biggest gaffe on the face of the earth — and I’m looking out and I don’t understand it. So I tried to cover for it. This was just the introduction of things before dinner. I got to my dinner table and I said, “What the hell happened?”
“Well, that’s the most tasteless joke anybody has ever told to our group.”
“It’s a Ted Kennedy joke, for crying out loud! It’s not even a joke. It’s a true story! Howell Heflin said it and Ted Kennedy did all of that!”
(laughing)
Well, what I didn’t know was that half of this group is evangelical, religious Christians, and the other half of the group academics, scholars, business people and so forth — and they were the ones that were sort of nervously laughing, and it was explained to me that I had better apologize when I got back up there.
I’m early on in my career. I can’t afford blunders like this, even though I didn’t think it was a blunder. So I apologized, and I was warmly embraced and accepted and after dinner, after the program, I’m walking out, and I saw Dr. James Dobson, and he was talking to a woman that looked to me exactly like Donna Rice, you know, who was out there cavorting in a boat with Gary Hart. So I’m saying, “She’s here and I’m getting grief for a Ted Kennedy story?”
I walked up, “Dr. Dobson?” I introduced myself to him, and he said, “Well, Mr. Limbaugh, it’s been an interesting evening for you, I’m sure.”
“Yeah.”
I said, “Was that woman you were just talking to...? She looked just like Donna Rice.”
“Yes, sir, it was. She’s found the Lord, something that you might look into.”
(laughing)
RUSH: I said, “Whoa!”
(laughing)
It used to be important in America to eliminate disease, or at least minimize the risk of human beings contracting bad diseases. Then the perceived need for cheap labor came along, and now we have seen the rebirth of TB, measles, etc. as illegal aliens bring back all sorts of things to this country.
Last time I looked, the bid was $40,400.00
