The Truth is…
My Indian neighbor stopped by while we were doing yard work today. He was lamenting being out of work for almost two years and blamed it on…OTHER INDIANS!
He said in Bangladesh, where he’s from, they are all “crooked”, cheats and liars. He said that they will get out of school and put together amazing resumes that are mostly fictitious. He said they have so many contacts and friends who work for big companies, that they can put down references and those folks will lie for them.
Pisses him right off.
I laughed at him and said, “That’s awesome. You can said it, and I believe you…cuz you would know. But if I said the same exact thing? I would be called a racist…”
He said, “BUT! WHY? It’s nothing but the truth!”
I laughed again and said, “You just said it. We don’t deal in ‘truth’ anymore…”
Sad but true. Really, really sad.
Who’s the REAL Racist?
I am so sick of hearing the left blather on about how conservative Americans are “racist”. That is such crap. You go look at the left…the farther you go…the more bigoted they get.
Here’s one of their mascots:
And the SEIU is Obama’s guard dog…is this NOT racist?
And Harry Reid:
Barbara “Call Me Senator” Boxer:
And this montage is absolutely priceless and shows so many of the left’s “icons”…and pinpoints the psychological reason and political strategy behind their constant cry of “Racist”:
I have been to several Tea Party gatherings and I have seen lots of folks of lots of colors and no one once mentioned a thing about what race anyone had to be to be a Conservative or a Christian or to be concerned about what the liberal agenda is doing and will continue to do to our country. If you look at the vast majority of our liberal forced social programs, they HURT the minority groups more than they help. They weaken them and make them assume a victim mentality rather than helping them to grow and work and be strong.
Gah. If I were a minority, I would be so pissed at these racist liberal jerks…oh, well. If they get their way on immigration, I’ll be the minority and I can scream racist at the top of my lungs anytime someone utters the words “white” or “cracker”…and maybe I will have to start calling myself a “European-American” to accentuate my ethnicity.
In any case, make no mistake: In this country, the majority of racists belong to the liberal left.
I broke into your house…
Sometimes an e-mail forward is so good I have to post it:
A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages! It explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV. Her point:
Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.
Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.
Let’s say I break into your house.
Let’s say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.
But I say, ‘No! I like it here. It’s better than my house. I’ve made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I’ve done all the things you don’t like to do. I’m hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house)”.
According to the protesters:
You are Required to let me stay in your house.
You are Required to feed me.
You are Required to add me to your family’s insurance plan.
You are Required to educate my kids.
You are Required to provide other benefits to me & to my family.
My husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest (except for that breaking in part).
If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there. It’s only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I’m just trying to better myself. I’m a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house and what a deal it is for me!
I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.
Oh, yeah, and I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE so that you can communicate with me.
Why can’t people see how ridiculous this is? America is populated and governed by idiots.
If you agree, pass it on (in English).
If not blow it off…along with your future Social Security funds and a lot of the former benefits of being an American Citizen.
SHAME ON YOU HYPOCRITES!
SHAME on these two-faced hypocrites who BOOED and heckled Bush at the 2005 SOTU address and got NO rebukes. Crybaby, two-faced, UNAMERICAN [Yes, Nancy Pelosi, I mean YOU!] HYPOCRITES! Don’t you have something better to do than whine and cry about someone acting like YOU people do as a rule?
I grew up during the sixties, when the only people protesting were “peace lovers”, Doves they were called then. The peace sign was new and all the rage. Back in the 60′s, my Mom was a democrat. And as soon as I was old enough to have an opinion, I saw the error in that mindset. She was a victim all her life, expecting someone else to pay her way. I have been working, paying taxes and doing for myself since I was 14. No one had to pay me to go the the Tea Parties and I wish I could have been in DC on 9/12/09. Of course, the cowardly lyin’ left the White House so that he didn’t have to listen to us, once again. Typical.
But Sen. Joe Wilson stood FOR us during POTUS’s speech last week. When all of us who truly love this country and want it returned to the people WOULD have screamed “LIAR!” at the top of our lungs had we been allowed, he did it for us. He apologized. I would NOT have…it is what we, over 50% of us now, absolutely believe.
It’s NOT about race, it’s not unAmerican. Maureen Dowd is a desperate, pathetic waste of flesh. If she heard the word “boy” as an unsaid word, then SHAME ON HER! She is the racist in this scenario.
And today? His hypocrite “brethren” voted on a resolution of disapproval on him for his outburst. I am so angry I am beside myself. HOW DARE THEY???
He was the ONLY one who dared to speak for the PEOPLE! The second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence reads as follows:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Good for Joe, for taking the high road on this deal and recognizing it as the ridiculous circus that it was. I am not so gracious.
I think this Government as a whole, and most certainly the hypocritical and tyrannical members, who believe they somehow have been elected Princes and Princesses, need to climb down off of their high horses. They are ALL corrupt and they ALL are coming under the scrutiny of their BOSSES…WE THE PEOPLE!
One Down…
Who resigns at midnight on a Saturday night? Van Jones, I guess…
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide. I have been inundated with calls – from across the political spectrum — urging me to ‘stay and fight.’ But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.”
Such a jerk. Typical radical left bullcrap. Let me break it down for him…
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me.” Really? After all the video of you spouting your mouth off with hate filled and RACIST comments made as recently as March of this year, you actually think this is a smear campaign? Better get that board outta your own eye first…ASSHOLE. So typical.
“They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.” Isn’t that a page out of your playbook? I love how it’s ok when you folks use lies and distortions and even racist slurs, but when we someone shows a video of comments you made yourself, it’s lies and distortions. Typical.
“I have been inundated with calls – from across the political spectrum — urging me to ‘stay and fight.’” Sure you have. You’ve had calls from your radical buddies saying, “Don’t let those republican, white assholes get you down! Who cares about the truth!? We have an agenda!” Across the political spectrum is a huge stretch, I bet. Oh, but again…typical.
“But I came here to fight for others, not for myself.” Um, it sure looked like you were enjoying yourself at those speeches…repeating everything twice and ripping white people, Christians and Republicans every chance you got. I think you loved the spotlight and the power…I think it was a lot for yourself and the glory. But you say whatever you think you can sell. That’s typical.
“I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past.” You have a conscience? That’s comforting. You probably felt so bad about all the people you smeared in your speeches in your “past”…when was that again? Oh, yeah…just THIS YEAR! Typical.
“We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.” Well, I can say that we hope to divide on that score. I hope we can divide the truly radical, hateful uber-liberals from the semi reasonable left-of-center moderates who thought “Change” automatically meant “for the better”…I’m pretty sure they are starting to see a glimmer of light at this point. That’s not typical, but we can always hope…right?
So, Mr. Jones, farewell. It’s been interesting getting to know you. Very enlightening, insulting at times, but you showed us your true color isn’t really green, after all…is it?
Tea Party Express
I have a lot of opinions. This much is obvious. But usually I spout them here, on FB or yell them at the TV. I hate confrontation, for the most part…a by product of a family who never got along, I guess.
So, I have been to exactly two political rallies in my whole life.
The first, was when we marched on Sacramento’s State Capitol to calmly, but loudly request the removal of Gray Davis as Governor of California.
The second…today…was a Tea Party in Dallas, TX. It was an awesome thing. Let me make clear: NO ONE paid me. NO ONE called me to ask me to be there. NO ONE told me what to say. I wore this:
…because I truly feel like I am not allowed to have an opinion in this country unless I am following the sheeple on the left. Of course, if I were a sheeple, maybe I would be given free lunch and paid about $10 an hour for my time on the bus, and to stand with my professionally printed signs and yell predetermined chants supporting something I really don’t even understand, because that’s how this administration wants it. “Close your eyes, and just walk forward…of course we’ll TELL you if you’re in any danger. We’re here to help you…trust us…truuuust us.”
But I am NOT a sheeple. I agree with some things the left is always screaming about. I recycle. I drive a hybrid. I use a water filter instead of bottled water. I want more responsible care for the earth. But you know what? WE don’t have control of that in the WHOLE world. We keep sending jobs overseas…where they don’t give a crap whether they can breathe the air or not, cuz they just wear a mask everywhere anyhow. The left wants to support every country BUT our own. Our textbooks all paint the people involved in US history as a horrible, native slaughtering, slave beating bunch of white men. And many parents don’t bother to read what their kids are being taught or teach them anything themselves, so of course, we have raised a whole generation or three of America hating liberal sheeple. But not me.
I spoke to lots of people today. Surprisingly, no one was being paid to be there. No one I spoke to had been called or asked to come to the party. They saw it was coming, felt a desire to show support and came…on their own. They waved flags…instead of burning them. They sang songs of patriotism and listened to speakers without any rioting, fighting or disruption…except maybe of traffic. There were a lot of people there. Old, young, male, female, many different political parties, veterans in wheelchairs and folks in work clothes, obviously taking time for the rally during a long lunch break. In many cases, like, my own, they parked 10-12 blocks away from the event and walked to the rally…then walked back afterwards. No buses for us. And that’s OK. There was very little to see in the way of opposition, so my friends’ fears of me getting into an altercation, get digits bitten off or end up in jail were all for naught. This time.
I’m not sure it will be safe to go the next time. The ‘communications czar’ [Diversity Czar for the FCC] is a big fan of the Chavez regime, and government takeover of all communications. Who knows what our right to gather will be taken away. But I will go anyway. Don’t get me wrong. I am truly afraid of this administration. This is not the usual day at the beach in the Clinton White House, and it sure as heck isn’t Jimmy Carter. It’s going to be a scary time, this next year or 3. But if we stick to the truth, if we can keep our eyes open and our antenna up for lies…we might be able to get past this and make things right again. Watch and pray, people.
And if you can, go find a Tea Party and express your disgust for this administration and your hope for common sense, positive change.
A Stunning and Amazing List
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.
And I am sure there’s stuff missing from this list…Lord only knows what we’ll be able to add in the next 3.5 years.
A round on Barry!
Really? “Let’s just get together and have a beer at the White House and talk this thing out…“ Really?
I get so weary of some black folks thinking they have the the only discrimination issue in this country or any other country, for that matter. They claim they want to be treated like everyone else, but what they actually want is to be treated special. Better than anyone else. Because of a wrong they never suffered. Their ancestors, yes. And I? Didn’t do it. No one who is alive today owned slaves.
But let’s be real. People face discrimination every day. Fat people and smokers probably more than ANY race. I keep hearing about how obesity is costing the country so much money. Smokers are costing us so much money. But I am fat and I cost no one anything. I pay for my own health insurance, and I do my best to stay healthy. I don’t have diabetes, and my insurer pays more for my allergies than my high blood pressure…which btw, my skinny mom had, too. So, genetics, maybe?
Do gays face discrimination? Yes. People with disabilities? Yes. Pregnant women? Yup. White men? Incredibly, yes. Homeless people? Muslims? The elderly? Heck, yes.
Poor folks have the most health care issues…because they can’t afford preventative care, they can’t afford anything but processed food and they are uneducated, so they don’t know how to change that. Do people discriminate against the poor? You betcha. Are they on TV every day complaining about it? Nope.
So, I’m wondering…is Obama going to buy folks a beer every time he sticks his foot in his mouth, offends someone or bungles something up? Cuz if that’s the case, we are ALL gonna be at the White House when he figures out what a ginormous mistake he has made on this health care bill.
I’ll have an MGD 64. You know…cuz it’s light beer and I don’t want to cost anyone more money. I wanted to put my order in, so Gibbs can go get it when my call comes. Not if…just…when.
Dear Liberal Newspaper Editor,
A letter to the Editor of all the liberal newspapers…sent, but likely never to see ink:
I would like to respond to the folks who believe that anyone who doesn’t support Obama is a racist.
Nothing could be further from the truth, and I’m tired of hearing that lame accusation. I do not support Obama in this election, and I have many reasons for that. None of them have a thing to do with the color of his skin. Many of them have to do with his liberal voting record (when he votes something other than “present”) and his reputation as being among the most liberal in the Senate. This is inconsistent with my values and I suspect many conservatives feel the same way. I also believe that separation of powers, and checks and balances in our government were created for a very good reason; and that it’s a bad idea to put a liberal Democrat in the White House during a time when there is a liberal-leaning Democratic majority in the House and Senate.
Further, I believe that most politicians will say anything to get elected, and Obama has demonstrated ably that he is no different. By repeatedly accusing the Bush administration of creating the housing crisis, he has lied. Plain and simple. The housing crisis is a direct result of political decisions made in the 1990′s during the Clinton administration. In conjunction with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were authorized to make risky loans to people who stood a good chance of not being able to repay those loans and who would eventually be foreclosed upon. Banks were coerced into funding these risky loans by being given quotas, and faced losing business if they didn’t meet them. During the Bush administration, efforts were made by the GOP (including Senator McCain) to tighten up these lending regulations and head off the housing crisis before it became a crisis. These efforts were stopped, thanks to the Democrats in Congress and with Obama’s support. There is also the question of Obama’s ties to community activist group ACORN, currently being investigated for fraudulently registering voters. This doesn’t even take into account the question of other connections in Obama’s background, such as William Ayers and Tony Rezko.
So tell me, is Obama really any different? I don’t believe he is and it has nothing to do with his ethnic background at all, so please stop trying to play upon racial guilt in order to promote your candidate. It’s not a good argument, and if your candidate really is the “candidate of change”, it’s beneath him and should be beneath you as well.
