If you believe that, you are admitting defeat.
We have powerful tools that did not exist 15 yrs ago.
It’s up to us to employ them to destroy the enemy.

The days of the New York Times, Washington Post, and CBS News controlling the flow of information ARE OVER !!

Does anybody know how much these vacations ended up costing us taxpayers so far? Any rough estimates or guesses on the grand total?

WLOX TV in Biloxi, MS said just this morning... that the acquisition of a Danish shipping company by UPS was a sign of an historically strong dollar. I puked up a lung.

Just because Bush did something does not make it okay. After all, the Department of Homeland Security is his debacle. Bush or obama, mothers-in-law or mothers do not live in the White House. If you were president and took your mom into the White House, as you say you would, I'd be mighty pissed that you were using MY MONEY to take care of your dear parent. There are other options for elder care, and making the rest of us pay for it is not one.

The days of the MSM controlling the conversation are long over.

True they no longer completely control the information available out there. But they still determine the agenda. A scandal will not develop in the public consciousness unless the MSM beats the drum.

The GOP will need to deal with them sooner or later, or the GOP will disappear.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish he’d go away...

When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn’t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door... (slam!)

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away

I got a restraining Order yesterday
In case he just won’t stay away.
Jenna, Laura, Babs or Mitt,
I really couldn’t give a ...
Hey look, a squirrel!

How many taxpayers had to work their whole lives to pay for the Obama vacations?
