A very nice website, Reagan To Palin, has an interesting post: The national movement that is building to take back Congress next year and elect Sarah Palin President in 2012 gathers steam each day.  Young and old alike are massing like a citizen army awaiting the battle cry for freedom to sweep the Pelosi’s, Reid’s and Obama’s out of Washington.  Every day we see evidence of people using their creative talents to produce videos, launch web sites, organize neighbors and register voters in the name of the common sense conservatism Sarah Palin is proclaiming for our nation.  The creative video...

Frankfurt, Germany, December 6 -- A rather bizarre study carried out by German researchers suggests that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and increases their life expectancy. According to Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist and author of the study, gawking at women’s breasts is a healthy practice, almost at par with an intense exercise regime, that prolongs the lifespan of a man by five years. She added, "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out." A five-year research on 500 men Researchers at three hospitals...

Just what every 7th grader needs to know… Obama’s Safe Schools Czar’s organization held teen conferences where not only did they talk about fisting and hand out fisting kits but they distributed needle handling instructions: Mass Resistance posted this pamplet from a 2000 GLSEN conference. Barack Obama’s “Safe” Schools Czar founded GLSEN in and was the director. And the pamplet also included safe d*ld* instructions for your young curious male/female teen

Watching the video of Sarah Palin’s appearance with William Shatner on the “Tonight Show” with Conan O’Brien, the one word that came to mind was style. Yet, there was more to it than that. After all, she entered the arena of late night television, a stage that has excoriated her routinely — the “enemy camp” as Chris Matthews might say. Mrs. Palin's has been scoffed at before by Mr. O’Brien. The show has featured William Shatner mocking Mrs. Palin’s tweets by reading them as dramatic recitations. Still, Mrs. Palin handled her appearance with the aplomb of Beyonce at the MTV...

I'm not looking for pity, just in a dark place right now, son's getting over pnemonia. I've been ill on top of an already unknown mystery illness for years and after a decade long bout with Lyme Disease which I won. I'm one tough ba@#$rd to kill off. Not good to be this depressed so early in winter, going to be very long winter. I long for warmer weather but was never like this, used to love the winter, life just washes over me like a wave of late. I'll be back on my feet, but for now suffering is...

What's going on at the Copenhagen Conference? Here's one of the days activities from week one. LECTURE ON SAFE PRACTICE FOR RESCUING POLAR BEARS: WHAT NOT TO DO! (This is important, pay attention!)

The first thing one must understand about the global warming agenda is that it has nothing to do with saving the earth from destruction and although there is validity in the science of climate change for the study of cyclical patterns in weather and temperature, the theory that the earth is being destroyed by man made greenhouse gases is pure nonsense. The recent "Climategate" scandal in the global warming community has shown that. They have been manipulating data for years in order to advance their theory and ignoring any science that says different. What they have been very successful in...

Israel is one of those anti-Islamic nations that are not quite happy with US President Barack Obama’s overtures towards Iran and Islamic world. Against all odds, Obama has made many overtures to Iran. He abandoned Washington's demand that Tehran give up uranium enrichment altogether, which had been a precondition to negotiations under his predecessor, George W. Bush. In a video message to the Iranian people coinciding with the festival of Nowruz, which marks the beginning of the Iranian New Year, Obama spoke of the great civilizing achievements of the Persian nation. He has also admitted to historical mistakes, such as...

Gay unions and homosexuality is a perversion of natural law and of the institutions that bond men, woman, family, and society together in a positive functioning unit that nations are built upon. These delicate God given bonds enable a nation of people to unite and stand up for the good of the nation against those who wish to impose their will, choices, and life-styles on the nation in order to corrupt it, control it, or destroy it. People who wish to undermine, control, or destroy the social bonds that hold a nation together in peace, love, truth, and harmony (as...

Obama might just be a big blow-hard because it appears that he does not know how to fight and win a war whether in Afghanistan or here at home. I do not believe Obama wants to win any war because, if he wanted to win, he would avoid a war of attrition/population control, like vietnam, by sending enough troops to crush the enemy as fast as possible, thus, saving innumerable lives. Instead, Obama talks out three sides of where his sun don't shine: his Secular, Muslim, and Christian sides to appease deluded morons.... Obama does not listen to anyone we...

An interesting comment from CPR: I can't speak for all white people, but I think white people want the Magic Negro because they want forgiveness. Obama's election and some of the incredibly weird things I heard some white people say about it made me realize that there is a fundamental injury that all americans carry with them (slavery and its aftermath) that has never been addressed adequately, and on the white side of the street, there is more unexplored/unexpressed guilt (which morphs into defensiveness or fear pretty easily) than I ever would have guessed. So in an archetypal way, the...

I'm all for Ralph Nader running again. I'd love for Howard Dean to get fed up or some other Democrat to get fed up with Obama and I'd love for a third party of Democrats and liberals to establish itself. I want all kinds of liberals to line and up run in third parties. That's how we weaken their side. As for our side, the focus must be to take back the Republican Party. That's the way you win. You can draw attention to yourself by denouncing both parties at the same time, and you can think that you're relating...

Here is a list of 2012 candidates. Generally, I am dwelling on the negatives as this is what is going to limit them in their ability to win but will mention any unique positives. Please share your thoughts on these or any other potential candidates. Romney - Romneycare is an albatross. He is a Mormon which impacts appeal. Is popular in Michigan due to his father. Sometimes comes across like a used car salesman. Is probably more conservative than his record and gets a bad rap due to his need to make compromises to get elected in The People's Republic....

First of all, I want it to be known I support the President's decision to send 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan. I also favor his reasons for doing so, denying al-Qaida a safe haven, reverse the Taliban's momentum, strengthen the capacity of the Afghan security forces and government and securing key population centers. What I don't support is the issuing of a time line on withdrawing the troops and trying to deflect blame to the Bush Administration as the reason for escalating the conflict. This is your war now Mr.President, your generals and your plans. This new strategy comes on...

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A federal judge has issued an order that will make way for a Confederate heritage specialty license plate from the state of Florida's Department of Motor Vehicles. Confederate license plate Sons Of Confederate Veterans The proposed Confederate flag. In a lawsuit filed nearly one year ago after two years of Florida legislative inaction to approve the plate, a federal Middle District judge upheld the First Amendment right to have a plate issued by the DMV. "We followed all the procedures, paid the fees required by the state, and did absolutely everything that was required by law, and...

I am wondering if this scenario makes any sense. Say you are one of the liberal presidents, prime ministers, Governors, Rulers, or Commanders... etc of the many "developed" countries around the world.

A German court put John Demjanjuk on trial Monday to face charges of being an accessory to the murder of 27,900 Jews at a Nazi death camp, and his lawyer immediately accused the court of bias. The 89-year-old retired Ohio autoworker arrived at the opening of the trial in a wheelchair to face the final chapter of some 30 years of efforts to prosecute him, wearing a navy baseball cap and covered in a light blue blanket. After the first 90-minute session, Demjanjuk was returned to the courtroom lying flat on his back on a gurney, covered in blankets. Doctors...

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), the self-appointed messiah for illegal aliens, says his soon to be introduced amnesty bill will include adequate protection for American workers

It's time. No, I am not some crazy fringe lunatic. I am one of the most law abiding citizens around. I don't even have any moving traffic violations ever, in 40 years of driving, only a ticket once in college for an unnoticed (by me) expired inspection sticker. Never drank, never smoked, never tried drugs. I am the LAST person anyone would expect to say NO, NO MORE, NO WAY!!! But it's time. I served my country voluntarily for 31 years, and did my level best to give back to the Army and my soldiers more than they gave me....

The Next 7 Millions Jobs That Will Be LostNovember 17, 2009 The hype is that the "recession is over." Has anyone touting this line actually walked around the real world? The next 7 million jobs to be lost are already in the pipeline. The divergence between the reality easily observed in the real world and the heavily touted hype that "the recession is over because GDP rose 3.5%" is growing. It's obvious that another 7 million jobs which are currently hanging by threads will be slashed in the next year or two. According to the latest Employment Situation Summary (Bureau...

Just as in the Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, Obama has shot the albatross and it will be a curse upon the Democrats for 2010 and into the 2012 election. The albatross is a bird of the sea that is accustomed to following sailing ships. Sailors consider them good luck. In the poem, the Mariner shoots the albatross with a cross bow and kills it. The sailors fearing a curse upon them force the mariner to wear the albatross around his neck in hopes of warding off a curse of impending disaster. It fails and they are doomed. They all...

According to White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, the President was busy with other matters last night and wasn't really concerned with election results. Although one would find that hard to believe, in Obama's case it might be true. He has shown a remarkable ability to ignore events that surround him, tea parties, town halls, Afghanistan, to name a few. It's amazing how the Administration can wave off important events effecting the country in the same manner that Obama swatted a fly during an interview. Nonchalantly dismissing anything that doesn't go their way as unimportant. Truth be known, Obama's ego...

The drama unfolds slowly at first. First-term (anti-bailout candidate) Democrat Alan Grayson questions Elizabeth Coleman, Inspector General of the Federal Reserve. The issue is oversight of the Fed's balance sheet, and the potential multi-trillion dollar loss that would be borne by you. If watching the clip sends you into an apoplectic seizure as it does to me, then please help. We need millions of Americans to become aware of the Fed and its abuses. Monetization of the national debt is occurring daily (quantitative easing), as Bernanke simply creates credit and purchases Treasuries. And we haven't even begun to discuss the...

will endeavor to continue to give you the simple courtesy of speaking honestly, plainly and sympathetically -- not for my political future but to win the future for America. But here is an outline for a 21st Century program of patriotic immigration which, I believe, will lead to secure borders: CONTROL THE BORDER FIRST. No nation in an age of terrorism can afford to have inadequately controlled borders with millions crossing illegally at will. We need to commit the necessary resources at all the borders, including the coasts, for national security reasons. That would mean more border agents and more...

Anyone who doubts Sarah Palin as an up and coming major player on the political scene better find a doctor for a reality check. Her endorsement of Conservative Doug Hoffman in the New York 23rd Congressional District special election has caught the attention of thousands who are now donating to his campaign and pledging support. Hoffman, who is running as a third party candidate against Republican, Dede Scozzafava and Democrat, Bill Owens, is a Republican himself but had to enter the race on a third party ticket since their was no primary for the special election. Had there been one...

Doug Hoffman pledged to help Dede Scozzafava in an e-mail sent two days after the Republican Party passed over the Lake Placid accountant for the nomination. The e-mail, sent from Mr. Hoffman's business account on July 24 and provided by the Scozzafava campaign, states in full: "Hi Dede, Congratulations and the best of luck in your candidacy. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Doug." This is contrary to what Mr. Hoffman, who is now running against Ms. Scozzafava as a Conservative candidate, told me less than two weeks later.

What drives these fringe crazed people on all sides of the aisle? Is it that feeling that something is just, not quite right? Is it the nagging question of why would someone continue to hide something in order to antagonize those that are trying to hold him accountable for the transparency that he promised? Or are you just tired of Obama getting away with it? A great conspiracy started during the 2008 Election Primary by a Hillary Clinton supporting Liberal lawyer from Philadelphia (Philip Berg) who saw that Obama was about to beat Hillary to the nomination and so he...

Sarah Palin's endorsement of Conservative, Doug Hoffman, in the upstate New York Senate Race over Republican Dede Scozzafava who is backed by Newt Gingrich, is a clear example of the present problem facing the Republican Party. Scozzafava is a Republican in name only. She votes like a liberal, stands for big government, abortion rights, and even supports laws to make it easier for unions to organize private business. So why would Newt Gingrich support her? According to Newt, if you want to take back Congress from the Democrats, then you need to accept Republican candidates who may not fully conform...

I'm not saying this is the way it should go, but for me, it went bourbon as a young man, irish whisky as the taste developed, and then nestled into the scotch as the palate matured and settled down to a sipping type restraint. Glenmorangie as the everyday benchmark, Laiphroaig for the smoky flavor, and Lagavulin for the best of that.

What type of bourbon do you like to drink? Me? Ancient Age over the rocks.

This socialist loser has every news organization in his back pocket and in his front zipper, and the one place that doesn't bow down and Lewinski him, he complains about. The guy just cannot take any criticsm from anyone. The White House goons come out and call Fox not really a news organization because their political commentators like Glenn Beck are on there. HE'S NOT A NEWS GUY!!!! He's the Opinion show!!! He's the equivalent of the OPINION EDITOR not the NEWS editor. What morons these people are. As if what the rest of the news groups are doing is...

Obama birthplace lawyer can be handful for the judges hearing her cases. U.S. District Judge David O. Carter has been presiding patiently over Mission Viejo lawyer Orly Taitz's effort to oust Barack Obama from the presidency on the allegation that he was born in Kenya. Carter's kept his cool while Taitz failed to serve Obama's lawyer with her complaint, attempted (and failed) to dismiss two of her clients, attempted (and failed) to have a magistrate judge removed, and attempted (and failed) to have a witness testify during an administrative hearing. She also had 40 to 100 of her supporters call...

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 This video excerpt from the movie Dr. Strangelove came to mind when reading the news about our Secretary of State at the conference table with Russia. It helps to emphasise the absurdity in which they conduct foreign policy and continue to weaken the country's national security. Hilliary Clinton and President Obama have agreed to let the Russians see the "big board." According to a Fox News report, Russia and the United States have tentatively agreed to a weapons inspection program that would allow Russians to visit nuclear sites in America to count missiles and warheads. The...

The city of Detroit has turned away thousands of people who lined up Wednesday for a chance to receive stimulus money set aside for homeless and low-income residents. Wednesday at the Cobo Hall was the last day for Detroit residents to get an application for Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program stimulus money. The city said an overwhelming 50,000 people came to the center seeking money that was promised to keep low-income residents from losing their homes and finding temporary housing for the homeless. The massive crowds created a fire and safety hazard and forced the Detroit Police Department to...

This is The Tusk's first correction since we began publication about two months ago. But I'm not embarrassed about it. Yesterday I stunned Tusk readers everywhere by admitting that, despite our previously held beliefs that the president has no balls, he just had "little" ones. But we can all breathe a sigh of relief tonight. Our initial assessment, made after careful observation during the campaign, is true. The president is indeed suffering from a lack of bulk in the male region generally used for reproduction, a condition medical officials call "having no balls to speak of. At all. Period." I...

There was no doctors' report. No official White House statement on the matter. There was no press release and not even an annual presidential physical. But the world will note that yesterday, September 30, 2009, was the day that the answer to one of the world's greatest lingering questions was finally revealed: The leader of the free world has small balls. This came as a surprise to many of us on the right who have long suspected that the president had no testicles at all. Yesterday, the White House announced that President Obama will take several weeks to review the...

Normally that title is reserved for the man in the Oval Office but that all changed this past Wednesday when Alan Grayson used his time on the floor of the House to offer up a "cute" presentation, complete with placards describing the three step Republican health plan. According to Grayson, the Republican plan is as follows: 1. Don't get sick. 2. If you do get sick... 3. Die quickly. According to him this is all he's heard from the Republican side of the argument. No alternate plan or suggestions. Alan has either been asleep or simply wasn't listening all summer...

This site will always support and honor our men and women in the military and express gratitude to those who serve, both past and present, those living and those who have past. To the brave who have survived and to the ones who have given life and limb in defense of this country. To feel differently would be to ignore and belittle those who are the backbone of our freedom. Yet, sadly, this is exactly what our President, Barack Obama has done to those members of the WWII era, Alaskan Territorial Guard. (ATG) As incredible and insensitive as this sounds,...
