change

I can’t believe it…

They really want to dredge this back up? It was scary enough the first time around.

Some school in Utah showed this to the kids? We should not be pledging our allegiance to ANY one man, but most certainly not to a man who has shown the Communist/Socialist tendencies that Obama has! The pledge is to our COUNTRY! Let’s review:

I wish everyone could understand that it really is freedom that we stand to lose. The old saying, “you never know what you had until it’s gone” is coming fast, and some folks are so star struck by the Obama myth that they will not snap out of it and see the truth.

I pray enough people wake up to stop this nightmare, and soon.

Post Edit: I got defriended on FB because of my opinions. Not a huge deal, but so typical of a liberal.

Him: No one has EVER suggested that anyone should pledge allegiance to the President. You probably know this. With all the important issues being debated right now can’t people have honest discussions rather than this made-up stuff?

Me: I watched the video. I liked a lot of it. There is one guy in there pledging his allegiance to Barack Obama…then he kisses his biceps. I also don’t think that specific groups should be highlighted, no matter how “good” they are. Then, at the end they all pledge their allegiance to the president. That is not cool. General suggestions of how to be a better person and a better American are fine, but the Constitution never says we should pledge our allegiance to one person, or group, this video does suggest that. I can make up my own mind. Kids are very impressionable and do not need this kind of suggestion given in school. And? I get really tired of being told that MY concerns are made up, but the numbers being thrown around as “proof” of our NEED for health care reform are absolute truth. And being called astroturf, when I have never been TOLD what my opinion should be. All in all, I am tired of liberals acting as though a conservative shouldn’t be allowed to have an opinion, because they assume we are too stupid to think. Yet anything a liberal says is supposed to be soooo brilliant and well thought out. Such elitist BS.

Him: Well keep repeating the lies your controllers dish out to you then. I’m sure Glenn Beck will be saying that Obama wants you to pledge allegiance to him as well – as if that were any kind of issue at all, like the death panels, like the “birthers”, like Sadaam being behind 9/11, like all the other trash you hear on Fox “news”. I know your code words – “elitist” means using facts instead of toting whatever the talking point of the week is, so save your breath on THAT BS. Just remember – if someone calls you on your BS, just keep repeating it. You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are NOT entitled to your own facts.

Me: Elitist means unwilling to allow anyone else an opinion. You just proved my point for me.

And then he defriended me. Basically, if you don’t agree with my warped, BS, robotic opinion, I’m taking my toys and go home. Typical.

Who’s “UNAMERICAN”?

By OLady

Nancy Pelosi needs to shut her mouth. She is so two-faced.

Here’s what I mean:

OH! Wait! Is that a swa…no, it can’t be…that would be “unamerican”…

And:

Apparently, it’s only “American” to voice an opinion against a conservative view. No wonder we’re all “angry”. They shouldn’t push us though, right? Aren’t we all the NRA members? Dangerous…oooooo.

Today, Obama had yet ANOTHER townhall. Seemed fixed like the rest…til the last woman. Seems to me the Messiah’s staff blew it when they didn’t KNOW the Montana state constitution preamble…cuz she read it to him:

“We the people of Montana grateful to God for the quiet beauty of our state, the grandeur of our mountains, the vastness of our rolling plains,and desiring to improve the quality of life, equality of opportunity and to secure the blessings of liberty for this and future generations do ordain and establish this constitution.”

Awesome…and then she asked him to read the rest. With God in the first sentence, I’m pretty sure he didn’t like it, and has no plans to read the rest. WE should though. It is a beautiful document. Section 1 rocks:

“All political power is vested in and derived from the people. All government of right originates with the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole.”

I swear…I’m ready to move to Montana!

Healthcare Reform

By OLady

Obama needs to focus on fixing Medicare and Medicaid. Once those are running as “model healthcare programs”, then he can open them up to cover the LEGAL citizens who are not covered as needed. That’s “reform” in my book. Fix what’s broken and leave the rest alone. Dammit.

I don’t need any “studies” and it doesn’t take 1000+ pages to explain it. It’s a 3 point bill:

1. Fix Medicare.

2. Fix Medicaid.

3. Add whoever cannot afford healthcare on their own to Medicaid on a sliding scale basis.

I’ll tell you something else. I am getting really sick of being called names by these primadonna politicians. THEY work for US! None of them seem to get that and this business of talking on their cell phones, looking at their watch…or some who are refusing to even have town hall meetings…is just an insult to the people who elected them. Even if they didn’t vote for them, they still should be open to the people they SERVE. It’s PUBLIC SERVICE! ALL American politicians SERVE the PEOPLE!!!

And yes, the anger is about Healthcare reform. And YES, we have a right to speak out on this issue. WE are the people. I am not a mobster, I am not a terrorist. But, yeah, I am pretty hacked off. They are not being transparent, they are not being honest and I am really sick of this prince and princess attitude that all the politicians, from the top down, seem to have copped. Get over yourselves, folks.

A Stunning and Amazing List

By OLady

Sometimes I do love an e-mail forward. Not always…but today, yeah.

Our “Cool Clown” in Washington. Now. Don’t you be too critical. A stunning and amazing list of accomplishments:

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have shrugged it off?

Had George W. Bush given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, in exchange for a thoughtful and historic gift from Mr. Brown, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had gifted the Queen of England with an iPod containing videos of his own speeches, would you not have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have been incensed?

Were George W. Bush to have visited Austria and made an inane reference to the non-existent “Austrian language”, would you have brushed it off as an insignificant slip?

If George W. Bush had staffed his cabinet and circle of top advisers with persons who cannot or do not keep current on their income taxes, would you have been OK with that?

If George W. Bush had been so unbelievably ignorant of Mexican history and the Spanish language as to clumsily and nonsensically refer to Mexican Independence Day – Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May) as “cinco de cuatro” (fifth of four) in the presence of the Mexican Ambassador, and continue to flub it when trying to recover from the gaffe, would you have merely winced in embarrassment and shrugged it off?

Had George W. Bush miss-spelled the word “advice”, would you have hammered him incessantly as was Dan Quale for spelling “potato” “potatoe”, and cite this as proof he’s a dunce?

Had George W. Bush burned 9,000 gallons of air polluting jet fuel to go on a Midwestern photo op and plant a single tree on “Earth Day”, would you have said he’s a hypocrite?

If the Bush administration had okayed Air Force One with fighter escort flying low and unannounced over millions of people in downtown Manhattan while stirring widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually “get” what happened on 9-11?

Had George W. Bush been the first President to need a teleprompter to get through a press conference, would you have seen this as proof of how inept he is? And would you also suspect his words were actually those of someone behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief to flood victims in the Midwest where more people were killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you have fashioned it into an ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush, in an unprecedented government intrusion into the private sector, and completely without the constitutional authority to do so, dared “fire” the CEO of a corporation, would you have acquiesced?

Had George W. Bush in his first year proposed to double a national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, would you have gone along?

And if George W. Bush then proposed to double the debt again in a few years, would you have questioned the wisdom of such a course of action?

If George W. Bush had degraded by 90% your own retirement plans holdings in GM stock, and at the same time given the UAW a majority stake in GM, effectively giving ownership over to the union, would you have accepted that?

If George W. Bush, after telling Americans “it is time to sacrifice”, had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly Laura to New York City for dinner and a Broadway play on the taxpayer dime, would you have called him a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush, after stating he didn’t have all the facts, had injected himself into a civil matter, claimed a police officer “acted stupidly” in doing his job and then had a beer party at the White House to smooth it all over would you have thought it was a great “teaching moment” in our Country’s history?

Yes. That really IS a stunning list of accomplishments.

So, tell me again, what exactly is it about Obama that you consider evidence of his brilliance, competence, diplomacy, and leadership?

Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. Obama’s done all the above in his first 7 months — so you have three years and five months to come up with something.
