this says a lot

Fast forward to about 2:30 and listen for about 20 seconds. Observe his gestures, his tone and cadence in his speech.



Compare that with this:




I think the only thing Bill was honest about in his speech, was that he admired who Obama had married.

obama's speech to soldiers is met with silence

"CNN and MSNBC ended their coverage of the speech before it was half-over."

Kind of telling if your biggest supporters won't even cover the rest of your speech and the audience's reaction.

Smart pick. Can't wait too see our next President and Vice President in action!

How convenient that they both have R names.  :)

An Open Letter to President Obama: This Nation Simply Doesn’t Deserve You

She nailed it.

if you're on the fence about romney...

Read THIS.

the donkey whisperer

Roger Williams, a congressional Republican candidate from Texas, recorded this great ad.  Democrats don't like it and tried to have it removed from the Texas TV station serving that congressional district.  They claim it is demeaning.  Gee, I thought it was a pretty good ad.  Perhaps the worry some have is that this video all of a sudden is believable?

Home schooled girl ordered to go to public school because the Judge thinks the girl’s “vigorous defense of her religious beliefs to [her] counselor suggests strongly that she has not had the opportunity to seriously consider any other point of view.” 

Um, what??

Since when is it the court's responsibility to make sure your child is being taught different views or religions?

As someone on that post said, "Try to raise your OWN child in your OWN home with your OWN principles and religion….and you MUST BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY in the interest of the child".

Stuff like this makes my blood boil. 

oh what a surprise...these left progressives don't even know what they're doing or talking about

....and they laugh at tea-partiers.

I am laughing.

“If you aren’t a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you aren’t conservative at forty, you have no brain.” ~ Winston Churchill

I used to be a liberal.
Seriously.


Okay, not really, but I did used to be a lot less conservative in my thinking.  Luvpilot and I both were. 

And then we grew up.  It's a common occurence. 
See....

Afroconservative - she talks about being black in America, and how the black family was fine until the Democrats started with handouts.

Real Clear Politics - after reading his post, also read the comment from the man who lived in Sweden for 15 years (RussS - 6th comment down).

and HERE a recovering liberal who is also a psychotherapist makes some interesting conclusions about why President Obama acts the way he does.


And the #1 reason why I'm not a liberal.  It's just too damn hard....
{so funny but warning:  the part around 3:25 isn't for little ears}




And let me just say one thing to those who think this country is so terrible and are trying to change it into a Socialist state:

If you don't like it here, you can leave!  In fact, please do. 

Rep. Pete Stark : 'The Borders Are Quite Secure, Thank You'

Arrogance, condescension and utter cluelessness does not make for an attractive combination.
I just want to smack him.

From a California school teacher...


"As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal
immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:


I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large
southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school,
meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels.


Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens,
Huntington Park, etc., where these students are protesting, are also
Title 1 schools.


Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I
say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full
breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott
proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it
being dumped in the trash uneaten.


I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least
moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school
also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls
(some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience
of having to arrange for baby sitters or having family watch their kids.


I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing
funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for
anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new
computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month
later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who
obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America...


I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers
whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students, here in the
country less then 3 months, who raised so much hell with the female
teachers, calling them "Putas" (whores) and throwing things, that the
teachers were in tears.


Free medical, free education, free food, free day care, etc.

Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to
demand rights, privileges and entitlements?


To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants
contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper
and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world
of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.


Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more
crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new
diseases. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.


Americans, we need to wake up.


It does, however, have everything to do with culture: It involves an
American third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts
children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that
refuses to assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak
and worried about "political correctness" that we don't have the
will to do anything about it.

This should make your blood boil.

CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?


Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.


Consumers don't want expensive produce.


Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.

But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth,
a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor."


Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children.. He
takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he
pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax
Return, he gets an " earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.


He qualifies for Section 8 housing (often new apartments) and subsidized rent.


He qualifies for food stamps.


He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.


His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.


He requires bilingual teachers and books.


He qualifies for relief from high energy bills..


If they are, or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI.
If qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicaid. All of this is at
(our) taxpayer's expense .


He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.

Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.

He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.

Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills and his.

Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT!





Mr. President, How about letting Arizona, the ones actually living with the problem, decide what's best for Arizona?

and said so well, here.

Yes, it will require 12 minutes of your time, but it's worth the watch so go get yourself a diet coke and a snack.
