So, I'll let him speak for hisself!!
Yes Pilgrims, you just heard the Senior Senator from New York define the United States Government as being comprised of Three Branches of Gob'mint! The House, the Senate, and the President!! Wait till the Supreme Court hears that they have been put out of work!!! Oh My!
Friends, Pilgrims and Fellow Countrymen.... I have tried to keep this blog as a clean, family oriented site without the profanities you see on some sites.. This week however, Time Magazine (the Democratic National Committee's house weekly pamphlet) ran a cover so obscene it demands public review.
"I grew up during the Carter malaise and Reagan was my choice for my first vote for President. But as I have said many times, Reagan wasn’t Reagan until after Reagan. In other words, I didn’t come to fully appreciate his greatness until it was all over.
And we do not need another Reagan right now. We need someone slightly different in that we live in a different age.
I think, personally, that one of my grandchildren will some day write that, in retrospect, that Palin wasn’t Palin until after Palin.
Palin isn’t Reagan – and that is not a knock on her, nor on him."

sue? And by the way, what the hell is an "OPHIUCHUS"???
ed on the Statehouse Steps, and that statue on the left that is boxed in and cloaked in black, is none other than the 'Father of our Country', George Washington, First President of the United States.Submitted by Hoosier Conservative on Thu, 01/20/2011 - 10:09am.
It seems the prosecutors in Arizona have finally caught on to what conservativ
es have said for days. Dipstick is giving the defense free advice and undermining the investigation against Loughner. Now he's finally being forced to put a stop to it.
"Until further notice, due to a controversy between the Sheriff's Department and the County Attorney's office, no further information reference the January 8, 2011 shooting will be released."
Maybe this little gem played a role in it...
"I've spent all my day dealing with the media as I did yesterday, so I really haven't had an opportunity today to get into that kind of detail."
So the county sheriff put in direct charge of the crime scene admits on national news that he's so obsessed with media attention he hasn't even made the time to review new evidence. And for defense attorneys everywhere, there was much rejoicing. Mission accomplished, Markos Moulitsas.
Obama may be able to remind voters of what they like best about him: his sensible demeanor. Amid the din and ferocity of our political culture, he respectfully keeps his voice down, his emotions in check and his mind open. That is the pitch, at least. The trick is to make it without seeming to be trying to make it. He will, after all, be speaking at a funeral."
You can hear more from this upstanding member of the Fourth Estate during his many visits with Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Rachel Maddow... all of whom are sterling moderate voices of the air.
“It is an ironic juxtaposition of events: One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for prognostication.
While the other involves a groundhog."

I was gonna leave the story of this twisted kid alone -- everybody is beating it to death, But since I haven't heard one MSM outlet mention that most if not all, of his school friends are describing Laughner as a 'Left-Wing Pothead' .. I wonder why they don't report that -- surely they don't have an agenda that that description doesn't fit, do they?
.... to sell Shamwow on TV!!
“Winston, come into the dining room, it’s time to eat,” Julia yelled to her husband. “In a minute, honey, it’s a tie score,” he answered. Actually Winston wasn’t very interested in the traditional holiday football game between Detroit and Washington. Ever since the government passed the Civility in Sports Statute of 2017, outlawing tackle football for its “unseemly violence” and the “bad example it sets for the rest of the world,” Winston was far less of a football fan than he used to be. Two-hand touch wasn’t nearly as exciting.
Yet it wasn’t the game that Winston was uninterested in. It was more the thought of eating another TofuTurkey. Even though it was the best type of VeggieMeat available after the government revised the American Anti-Obesity Act of 2018, adding fowl to the list of federally-forbidden foods, (which already included potatoes, cranberry sauce and mince-meat pie), it wasn’t anything like real turkey. And ever since the government officially changed the name of “Thanksgiving Day” to “A National Day of Atonement” in 2020 to officially acknowledge the Pilgrims’ historically brutal treatment of Native Americans, the holiday had lost a lot of its luster.
Eating in the dining room was also a bit daunting. The unearthly gleam of government-mandated fluorescent light bulbs made the TofuTurkey look even weirder than it actually was, and the room was always cold. Ever since Congress passed the Power Conservation Act of 2016, mandating all thermostats—which were monitored and controlled by the electric company—be kept at 68 degrees, every room on the north side of the house was barely tolerable throughout the entire winter.
Still, it was good getting together with family. Or at least most of the family. Winston missed his mother, who passed on in October, when she had used up her legal allotment of live-saving medical treatment. He had had many heated conversations with the Regional Health Consortium, spawned when the private insurance market finally went bankrupt, and everyone was forced into the government health care program. And though he demanded she be kept on her treatment, it was a futile effort. “The RHC’s resources are limited,” explained the government bureaucrat Winston spoke with on the phone. “Your mother received all the benefits to which she was entitled. I’m sorry for your loss.”
Ed couldn’t make it either. He had forgotten to plug in his electric car last night, the only kind available after the Anti-Fossil Fuel Bill of 2021 outlawed the use of the combustion engines—for everyone but government officials. The fifty mile round trip was about ten miles too far, and Ed didn’t want to spend a frosty night on the road somewhere between here and there.
Thankfully, Winston’s brother, John, and his wife were flying in. Winston made sure that the dining room chairs had extra cushions for the occasion. No one complained more than John about the pain of sitting down so soon after the government-mandated cavity searches at airports, which severely aggravated his hemorrhoids. Ever since a terrorist successfully smuggled a cavity bomb onto a jetliner, the TSA told Americans the added “inconvenience” was an “absolute necessity” in order to stay “one step ahead of the terrorists.” Winston’s own body had grown accustomed to such probing ever since the government expanded their scope to just about anywhere a crowd gathered, via Anti-Profiling Act of 2022. That law made it a crime to single out any group or individual for “unequal scrutiny,” even when probable cause was involved. Thus, cavity searches at malls, train stations, bus depots, etc., etc., had become almost routine. Almost.
The Supreme Court is reviewing the statute, but most Americans expect a Court composed of six progressives and three conservatives to leave the law intact. “A living Constitution is extremely flexible,” said the Court’s eldest member, Elena Kagan. “Europe has had laws like this one for years. We should learn from their example,” she added.
Winston’s thoughts turned to his own children. He got along fairly well with his 12-year-old daughter, Brittany, mostly because she ignored him. Winston had long ago surrendered to the idea that she could text anyone at any time, even during Atonement Dinner. Their only real confrontation had occurred when he limited her to 50,000 texts a month, explaining that was all he could afford. She whined for a week, but got over it.
His 16-year-old son, Jason, was another matter altogether. Perhaps it was the constant bombarding he got in public school that global warming, the bird flu, terrorism or any of a number of other calamities were “just around the corner,” but Jason had developed a kind of nihilistic attitude that ranged between simmering surliness and outright hostility. It didn’t help that Jason had reported his father to the police for smoking a cigarette in the house, an act made criminal by the Smoking Control Statute of 2018, which outlawed smoking anywhere within 500 feet of another human being. Winston paid the $5000 fine, which might have been considered excessive before the American dollar became virtually worthless as a result of QE13. The latest round of quantitative easing the federal government initiated was, once again, to “spur economic growth.” This time they promised to push unemployment below its years-long rate of 18%, but Winston was not particularly hopeful.
Yet the family had a lot for which to be thankful, Winston thought, before remembering it was a Day of Atonement. At least he had his memories. He felt a twinge of sadness when he realized his children would never know what like was like in the Good Old Days, long before government promises to make life “fair for everyone” realized their full potential. Winston, like so many of his fellow Americans, never realized how much things could change when they didn’t happen all at once, but little by little, so people could get used to them.
He wondered what might have happened if the public had stood up while there was still time, maybe back around 2010, when all the real nonsense began. “Maybe we wouldn’t be where we are today if we’d just said ‘enough is enough’ when we had the chance,” he thought.
Maybe so, Winston. Maybe so.
Written by Arnold Ahlert| .... one giant smack down on political correctness. The Pennsylvania State Police have agreed to a policy change and will stop citing folks for firing profanities without a license. If a motorcycle swerves in front of you --- you may now fire four letter words at will without fear of receiving a disorderly conduct ticket..... ACLU is pleased.......motorcyclists who swerve in and out of traffic have yet to be heard from. Here is a link to the story. |
Parents of the 450 pupils (aged 3 to 11) at Applecroft primary school in Welwyn Garden City, England, were given individualized yearbooks recently with all the children's faces obscured by black bars over the eyes (except for photos of the recipient's own children, which had no obstructions). The precautions (described by one parent as "creepy," like kids were "prisoner(s)") were ordered by headmistress Vicky Parsley, who feared that clear photos of children would inevitably wind up in child pornography. Last year, Parsley famously prohibited parents from taking photographs during school plays -- of their kids or any others -- for the same fear. Link here: [Daily Mail, 11-27-10
