Obama is a Muslim. Does anyone care to prove me wrong?

What will be the results of Election 2010

When I look at the world of today, I am appalled. Luckily enough, I'm also a Lutheran and know what cure there is. I'll tell you about it. My grandfather was rather "well off". Rich enough to hire people to take care of his summer houses in different parts of the country (Sweden), but instead he chose to work on those estates whenever having a little of time off, not out of a miser's love for money, but because the love of how it feels to be truly independent. Church attendence in my part of the world isn't something you'd...

Just like in Columbus, Rochester NY fans waiting all night for Sarah Palin found out there were only 500 wristbands avaiable, instead of the 1000 promised.

Today is the culmination of the HEALTH CARE DEBATE. Due to the release of the files of the Global Warming Fraud, I have been quite interested in one document which was included. THE RULES OF THE GAME produced by Futerra. "This is a ‘short version’ of a far longer document of evidence that can be found at www.defra.gov.uk." One specific section has interested me as it concerns Health Care Reform. Many wonder why and how Congress can totally and with distain ignore the concerns and demands of the American Public. this section may answer that question. "2) Forget the climate...

This is three days in a row now that guests and the hosts on FoxNews have said her future does not lie in politics, but Television, even now talking about her as a replacement for Oprah. This really ticks me off. These people are so condecending of Sarah, and therefore me. Have you guys been noticing this. FoxNews is continually telling everyone she is not fit to be president, I say BS ...

“Delta Smelt, What’s that (Dead) Flower You Have On…” By justinwashingtontheblogger “Could it be a Faded Rose from Days Gone By?” Lyrics (Polluted) by Justin Washington and Tribute to Tanya Tucker As the plaintiff song wafts in the air, so goes California’s golden dream — because of a small, silver fish resembling a minow with small, beady eyes (somewhat similiar in appearance to US Senate Leader Harry Reid). The EPA, as the teeth behind the Endangered Species Act, has turned off the water spigot to the agricultural Central Valley of California which has been likened to the “bread basket of...

We may have to put up with a congress that has some prostitutes, but let's at least call it what it is: Bribery..... I remember the old days when regular folks went to jail for such things on the radio: play my record I'll build you a pool....get caught and get fired.... But today we even practice reciprocal bribery: I give you 100 million, you throw me a fund raiser....my, my how we have grown..... And the real sweetner in this is that these criminals use OUR money to do the bribing......Bowow and Peeelosi bribe the house and Bowow and...

May I suggest amending Harry Reid's Health Care Plan to Connect it DIRECTLY to future Senatorial Junketing Funds? If, in any future year, This {Reid's} plan adds to the National Debt; the SENATE MUST cut it's next year's Junketing Budget by 50% {from THE Prior Year's funding}. While "The House" writes each Year's actual Bill, IT [The House] Must respect & include this Portion of this Bill. A 'Sense of the Senate' letter to Pelosi {suggesting a similar addition to the House Junket Budget process} would be a Natural.

One of the BEST ways to stop vote fraud is to volunteer as an Election Judge, Clerk, or Poll Watcher. I need help in Clear Lake, Texas for the Houston Mayoral Runoff Election on December 12, 2009. You MUST be a registered voter who lives within the city limits of Houston to qualify. This election is for practice. When you have the training, you can go on to become an Election Judge, Alternate Judge, or Poll Watcher in a precinct where fraud is expected. There are over 50 precincts just in the Houston area where fraud has been a problem....

Ohaha made DHS Janet Napolitano Announce that his Administration Plans to Give Amnesty to Illegal Aliens She said we need a “...firm but fair way to deal with those who are already here.” The fatal flaw in this is that there is no way of knowing if the alien who would apply for amnesty has been in the United States for ten years or ten days! Let us remember that the great majority of illegal aliens use false and often stolen identities. (This is why identity theft is now the fastest growing white collar crime in the US.) THE...

I'm usually adept at catching the embedded politics, in tv and movies, and I usually change the station or turn it off when I do. Tonight was the first time, and I was taken aback by it, that I discerned such tactics in the series "Bones"

The democrats in the Congress are not worried about losing their seats in 2010 because of healthcare.

The Secret Bowow doesn't want anyone to see or figure out about the War in Afghanistan is the Poppy fields.... The Mob gets a tremendous amount of "free" money from the drug trade and Afghanistan is now the largest source of that poppy crop....they are getting shut down around the world, so much so that they are fighting for thier lives to keep the poppy fields in Afghanistan functional Bowow is the mob's man in DC, and with the coordination of the Chicago American Mafia and their boys at SEIU, they are preventing the Army from cleaning up and shutting...

Let me get this straight. Obama insisted that we immediately mortgage unborn generations lives to squander trillions of dollars on misbegotten bills which no one had a chance to read in order to enact stimulus programs and socialist interventionist programs not scheduled to fully fund until the next presidential campaign for the sake of corrupt businesses which he and his tax-cheating minions insist are "too big to fail" (or file bankruptcy) and because "we cannot afford to do nothing." And yet he has all the time in the world to decide whether or not to issue an order to man-up...

I am "new" to the site. I think this is my first post. However I have been a reader for years and am a libertarian leaning Republican. I had a thought about healthcare reform that is scaring me. Although I don't think it can pass, consequences could be terrifying if it does. For purposes of sharing my nightmare, let’s assume it passes. Let’s also assume that the SCOTUS has the same five conservative members when compulsion to buy health insurance is enacted into law. It would be unprecedented for the government to mandate disposal of wealth in such a way....

If you wondered where some of the "grassroots" money that was donated to leftists in recent elections actually came from, here is one answer. Phyllis Stevens has been in Iowa news lately for having embezzled millions from her employer, an insurance company. The money she embezzled went to leftist politicians and activist organizations. Although her partner is only now being indicted, the story goes back a few weeks. This is some of the power and a couple of the people behind the left. They took the money of hard working people. Phyllis Stevens was praised by many when she was...

Six critical reasons to never try those who wage Jihad terror against America, or any other irregular enemy combatant, in any U.S. civilian criminal court: It extends American juris prudence rights and procedure to enemy combatant irregulars who, according to the Geneva convention, don't deserve prisoner of war status and deserve, according to the same, to be executed after a military tribunal. It offers a very real prospect because of venue, how testimony was obtained, miranda readings to someone who deserves none, etc., etc. that terrorists will get either reduced sentences or be aquitted. As a result of giving testimony...

I voted against forming a Colorado State Employees union and of course did not join the union when it passed in 2007. All of a sudden I got a union membership card and all their pro obama literature in the mail from AFCME last week. I thought the state allowed the union to use our information but received an email from HR stating they don't share it with anyone. I then realized that the weazels at the Colorado Wins(the name of the union "Wins" for short) who have a partnership with AFCME probably shared or sold it. I was told...

Seen it all now! Caught a few minutes of Charlie Gibson on ABC News this evening in all his seriousness playing a clip of John Stewart's Comedy Central with Stewart asking Biden about the screw ups at his web site, Recovery.gov. Charlie didn't seem to mind that ABC News was in all seriousness using clips of a COMEDIAN and his show to give Biden's answers to the problems at recovery.gov instead of just getting THEIR OWN DANG INTERVIEW WITH BIDEN!

What with the Left's obsession with "tea-bagger" references and calling Sarah Palin a "MILF" or "TWILF," perhaps it is time for the DNC to dump the Donkey symbol and go with this symbol. They giggle uncontrollably when someone says something that they consider to be dirty. Beyond swear words and sexual innuendo, their vocabularies are very, very limited. They live in their own little world where they and only they are smart while at the same time worshiping MTV and mindless pop culture. They view everyone who does not live in their little world to be losers and worse. Beavis...

Before yesterday I didn't know much about David Frum. I've seen his name here and there on FR, and that's about it. Yesterday he was on the Laura Ingraham show, and I've got to say I don't much care for him. He is suppose to be a conservative, but to me he sounded more like a RINO. What is the deal with this guy?

Sorry for this vanity but I was sitting here reading through all the postive Sarah Palin threads, her million fan Facebook page, her book tour, the Rassmusen poll having her polling higher than Obama and it hit me. She just might become the president. The very first thing that crossed my mind was the utterly thrilling exiting of watching her give State of the Union addresses. I'm telling you it would be like nothing you have even seen surpassing even Ronald Reagan I think due to folksy, real world charm and character. You know what, I really do feel Hope...

Isn't it great that the libs are confused? They are scrambling to spin the rise of conservatism, the tea parties, American mom's, and anything conservative as an anomaly. Us stupid people just don't get it. They're attacking women, men, boys and girls. Everyone who doesn't adhere to the left or right coast's definition of America are hicks, gun toting, bible thumping people clinging to their guns and religion. America is protesting. We've had enough of the liberal elites. To their peril, the liberals are going to loose big time. God doesn't give us easy challenges, but Americans are finally rising...

"Today I am resigning from the Governorship of Alaska to run for the Presidency of the United States, a position in which I believe I can do much more good for the American people." Walk away, nothing more.

Brilliant Like most Americans, I was initially shocked at the decision announced by the Obama administration to prosecute Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSD) and other Guantanamo Bay Naval Base detainees in New York under civilian law. I was shocked by the prima facie stupidity of the decision to unnecessarily avail terrorists with the full rights, legal processes and courtroom procedures due an American citizen. I love America, and I want what’s best for her. But, when one hates the traditional American way of life, this decision is a masterstroke. To cripple and ultimately destroy a stronger or entrenched adversary, invest in...

To whom it may concern; If I reduce my credit-card balance, American Express will cut my credit limit to a much lower “comfort limit.” If I don’t make a big payment, my card will be suspended. If I DO make the big, unexpected and unannounced payment on demand, my “comfort level” may be capriciously dropped anyway, leaving me both without operating capital and without a reserve. My “utilization rate” is a key factor in determining my credit scores, and the bank has crashed my credit rating. I am a small business owner and as a result of the usurious and...

I was watching Opra's interview with Gov Palin on Direct TV. About halfway though it the show went off the air. I mean the screen went blank and only came back when Sara's interview was over.Did this happen to anyone else?

During a speech today in Bejing, many young women and men were staring at 0bama like he was nothing more than a feminized action figure. The looks on their faces were priceless.

Thanks to all those who replied. I received some very good nominations, also some names I wasn't aware of (and then there were the frivolous wastes of time). I still think popular culture is a battlefield for conservatives. One most don't realize. So it's nice to know who is already engaged. Here are my own choices. Tell me what you think: OK Here is my list of the ten greatest conservative filmmakers: 1 -Frank Capra 2- James Carabatsos (script writer as well as producer) 3- Lionel Chetwynde 4- John Ford 5-Elia Kazan 6- John Wayne 7- Clint Eastwood 8- John...

Excuse but abortion is elective. Why do we have to pay for elective medical items. If we do have to pay for elective items, do we have to pay for facial items also?

In light of the Holder KSM move. You know showing the world how wonderful this administration is and how this administration uses due process. I was wondering why Obama/Holder thinks that the bombing of a sovereign country (Pakistan) is ok? What legal right does he think we are legally operating under? Or for that matter why the Attorney General doesn't shut this down. Shouldn't we be using diplomtic due process with Pakistan instead of this cowboy diplomacy? It seems to me if you were the uber-liberal your head would be exploding over this. I think it's probably the correct thing...

Why are the news medias ignoring the unborn child killed on that infamous media day of ignorance NOV. 05. 2009? Where is the outrage of the killing of an unborn child that no media names the 14th. Even the Military.. I thought outrage was reserved for the worst of the worst of those who commit acts that disturbe so many that there is a fury of such that cannot be stopped. Where is the fury? Fetal Homicide? Unborn child killed, four wounded in south Bakersfield shootingAn unborn child was killed Thursday morning in a shooting that wounded its mother, two...

We've found a fabulous place that sells dented canned veggies. I've got a pantry filled. A case of 24 cans is 4-5 dollars. We've got the weapons and ammo stored. We live next to a farm, and can get meat and veggies, either deer, turkeys (a milk cow, did you ever try meat from a milk cow?) or bartering with the farmers for corn and tomatoes. We live on a well and septic, and have a great generator. We also have wood, Can we live without power? We're 90% there. What are you all doing to prepare for this? You...

Women are undergoing surgery to create perfect genitalia amid a "shocking" lack of information on the potential risks of the procedure, a report says. Research published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology also questions the very notion of aesthetically pleasing genitals. Operations to improve the appearance of the sex organs for both psychological and physical reasons are on the rise. But surgeons said the report overplayed the risks of an established procedure. Researchers from University College London reviewed all the existing studies on cosmetic labial surgery - which generally involves reducing the amount of tissue that protrudes from...

Obama is already showing mental and emotional fatigue - won't last another term with this weak display of performance. There is no doubt he wouldn't last another term of the presidential spotlight. The democrats will have pay a high price for his lack of 'savvy skills' thus the demise of the party.

Today in a stroke of brillance, Congress has passed a law under the scope of the Commerce Clause to require all citizens to buy a GM car. It has done so to afford all a clean and economically efficient (determined by Congress) mode of transportation. To the cry baby conservatives who cry unconstitutionality, Congress invoked the precendence of "it might effect interstate commerce if some wise guy did not buy a GM car and then it caught on and others did not too." "But it is not fair!" the liberals whined. Who said it had to be fair? Do we...

What the heck was that Shakira wannabe act by Taylor Swift?

So am I the only one that has trouble sometimes excepting post and critiques from people who don't bother even providing a minimal profile? Just asking.

Is anyone else struck by the sheer effrontery of this buffoon?

I am noticing an increasing number of anti Palin comments among Republicans. I think this is a good time to filter the trash out of our party. We Republicans tend to tip toe through the tulips. But if we want to get our party back, we need to do it now. As much as I dislike Obama. and many of us mocked his "get in their faces quote". I want to ask you. How did we dominate the healthcare debate in August ? We stood up and got in their faces. It worked. You can do this without being violent,...

Is anyone experiencing out of date order (and time order) with articles that are being posted?

Just askin'. It seems to me that the word terrorist is being thrown around rather liberally these days. Terrorists cause ordinary people to alter their behavior. I might have avoided the DC Beltway for shooter Muhammed and his buddy, but I'm not thinking about altering my behavior because of Hasan. It seems to me that there are two other T-words we ought to be hearing more often in regards to this chap Hasan. They are TRAITOR and TREASON. This is someone who took an oath of allegiance to the United States and subsequently attacked a military base on behalf of...

I'm curious if what everyone is hearing from their Obama voting friends, co-workers, and associates? Are you hearing any comments that signal buyer's remorse?

Venue: Basilica of Saint John the Evangelist, Stamford, CT Dates: December 11, 12, 13 More info: http://patrickmadrid.blogspot.com/2009/11/ill-be-speaking-in-stamford-ct-december.html

I have no stomach for liberals anymore. We must clean house of all who can't find their nuts in the fight against terrorism. I don’t give a damn if liberals feel uncomfortable about spying on Muslims in this country. I don’t care what liberals feel or think anymore. They are the ones who got 13 soldiers killed at Fort Hood with their damn political correctness! That “diversity role model” of a Muslim soldier should have been discharged a long time ago when his bizarre actions were brought to the attention of the FBI. Didn’t anyone at the FBI think about...

Two quotes come to mind: There comes a time in every man's life.... when they must spit on their hands....raise their black flag...and start slitting throats...~ HL Mencken... "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."- Claire Wolfe But there is another option, secession. Secession has long been the last peaceful choice of a people who believe that they can no longer tolerate the government that rules over them. History is replete with examples of secession as one group or region declared their independence from their parent...

Ok, time to lighten the mood with a fun list. There are things that real men should know or have. True, the list is a bit biases, but what the heck. Real Men should: Know basic gun safety. And they should even own at least one gun. Know Basic first aid. Know the location of a good florist, a good cigar shop, a gun dealer and a strip club. Knows that when he gets over 40, going to a strip club on a regular basis makes you a dirty old man. Know at least one prayer either Christian or Jewish....

It's obvious by now the body politic is replete with socialists, Communists and fascists who have no regard for the Constitution, the rule of law or the people. Their only goal is the utter destruction of the Constitution and our Democratic Republic. Unfortunately for them we are the majority. It is time we take the next step by putting our heads together and form mass resistance to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution ourselves since the three branches of government are seeking complete domination over our lives. There can be no holding back. The time is now to put our...
