"You will never find a more retched hyde of scum and villainy."--Obi Wan Kenobi from Star Wars
A college kid used the above Star Wars quote to describe the UN summit on his Facebook page. As far as I'm concerned, he's not too far off. Rush Limbaugh said that Gaddafi's speech looked like a scene straight out of the Star Wars bar scene, and he was exactly right!
Yet, it was Obama's speech that was the most offensive to me as an American. For the first time, I wasn't proud of my President. Well, I guess thats not true. I did live through the Clinton years after all, but its close.
Obama hit the Trifecta with his speech by going after the U.S., Israel and Bush! He bashed his own country and committed what I agree was a "brutal betrayal". The more I heard of his speech, the higher my blood pressure went.
As if that weren't enough, he decided to throw Israel under the bus as well. It only makes sense to attack the only democracy in the Middle East, and one of our few allies.
And, no speech is ever done until we've bashed Bush. It never surprises me when dictators, madmen and your average liberal attacks Bush, but the current U.S. President to the UN? Say what you will about W, but he never, ever took potshots at Clinton and he had plenty of opportunities to do so, and plenty of material to work with. I guess thats the difference between a man that has class, and one that doesn't.
As John Bolton said, Obama's speech was "Wilsonian" and extremely "naive", he "thinks the UN is going to solve the world's problems."
Meanwhile, Sarah Palin was in Hong Kong actually making sense and defending our country. Someone brought up Huckabee being our best bet for the GOP in 2012 recently. My standard answer is, if that happens, I'm slitting my wrists! I'll take Sarah Palin any day, and twice on Sunday!
Oh, how I miss Condi Rice amidst the insanity that is now going on in the current administration in Washington. I can't wait for her books to hit the shelves, and hopefully she comes to KC for her book tour.
She couldn't be more right about not abandoning Afghanistan. Obama wanted to follow a different course in Afghanistan this past March. Now, as things aren't going the way he planned, he's wavering and thinking about pulling out instead of listening to HIS general and putting in more troops. Rice's words couldn't be more clear:
"The last time we left Afghanistan, and we abandoned Pakistan," she said, "that territory became the very territory on which Al Qaeda trained and attacked us on September 11th. So our national security interests are very much tied up in not letting Afghanistan fail again and become a safe haven for terrorists.
"It's that simple," she declared, "if you want another terrorist attack in the U.S., abandon Afghanistan."
The above picture was sent to me by my emailing, texting and work-out friend ;-). The reason I thought the picture was perfect for this post, is because I'm stealing an idea from her that she used on her blog.
She listed different things that she had going on in her life at the time. I thought that was a good and fun idea.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.
Just finished, the Wii Active Trainer. I won't waste time reviewing it, because my LDWB (Long Distance Workout Buddy) already did. Her review is similar to mine, except that I wouldn't have been as nice. Unless, you currently don't do any weights at all, its not worth your money.
Republicans have long known that Acorn has serious corruption problems. Especially, those of us in Missouri where Acorn has had some major problems with Voter Registration Fraud.
Democrats have been in denial, insisting that Acorn helps out the poor. The problem is, it seems that while Acorn was SUPPOSED to be helping the poor, they were actually victimizing them.
On Glenn Beck's show the other night he pointed out the glaring difference in how the networks were covering the Acorn scandal. At that time, the regular networks hadn't done any stories on it. Extremely, hard to comprehend as even liberal Jon Stewart points out in the video at the top. And make sure to watch the Beck video, he has all the Acorn stats, they are frightening.
Where do you even go with this? The Appeaser in Chief is at it again, sticking his foot in his mouth. I think Carter wins the prize on being the most offensive ex-president, which is surprising considering Bill Clinton is still living. Yet, every time you turn around Carter is appeasing a dictator, displaying his blatant anti-semitism or being a notorious terrorism-enabler.
Now, he has to jump on the bandwagon and declare that if anyone disagrees with Obama, that makes them racist. Its a no win situation. We aren't allowed to say anything to oppose Obama's policies, without being labeled a racist according to Bill Maher and now Jimmy Carter. If they can't win the argument, its time to pull out the race card.
When Patrick Swayze was originally diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January of 2008, I offered up prayers for him and did a post asking others to pray and sign a public get well card for him. Swayze fought the deadly cancer and continued acting and living life, but unfortunately, lost his battle with cancer yesterday at the age of 57.
Dr. Jeffrey Hardacre told Fox News that Swayze defied the odds because most people that are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer only live 3-6 months, and Swayze lived for over a year and a half.
I think many viewed Swayze as one of the "good guys" in Hollywood. I know I did. Any woman that was a teen in the 80's fell in love with him in the movie Dirty Dancing. My other favorites were:
Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.--President George W. Bush on September 11, 2001
I will forever be grateful that President George W. Bush was at the helm on that fateful day and not someone else. God Bless him, he is greatly missed!!
"Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike continue to offer substantive alternatives – proving that we can have universal access to health coverage in America without the government taking it over, without trillions in new taxes, spending, and debt."--Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI)
--As everyone is aware, the most memorable event from Obama's speech last night was Representative Wilson's outburst. While, it may not have been respectful to Obama and the office of the presidency itself. I can only imagine how difficult it was to hear Obama tell one lie after another and not be able to respond.
--Gateway Pundit points out numerous instances where Obama states information that simply isn't true or is misinformation. And where he also throws in a bunch scare tactics for good measure.
--I was working out at the gym during the speech watching Fox News while doing cardio. I got to see first hand Obama playing the Teddycare card!
--Mike makes an excellent point in his post that others have made:
There was Obama attacking the Republicans while insisting he wants a bipartisan bill. Saying "My door is always open" yet he has refused to meet with House Republicans on the matter since April.
--I was asked on my Facebook page why I was against health care reform. Obviously, just because Republicans and conservatives are against government run health care, doesn't mean we are against health care reform. Below are links to some great alternatives to Obamacare:
2) Levi Johnston continues his smears and lies about Sarah Palin--Basically, when Levi told the truth about the Palin family, it wasn't what the Drive By Media wanted to hear, so it didn't make him any money. It sickens me though, how willing he is to throw his child's extended family under the bus for 5 minutes of fame and money. As GG points out, the left will exploit him like they have Meghan McCain and then spit him out when they are done. Despicable and disgusting!!
I have always loved Ari Fleischer and boy, did he score a home run with this one. The two words that came to my mind when I first saw this were, awesome and priceless!Rush is everyone's favorite whipping boy because he's such a huge threat. Yet, the hypocritical Drive by Media never apply the same standards to the liberals as they do to conservatives.
Ari gives them a taste of their own medicine by throwing Keith Olbermann under the bus and he leaves both of Olbermann's colleagues speechless. I hate it when that happens ;-)!
