Just Say Uncle

Its time for the race-baiters to say "uncle". No matter how many race-hustling poverty pimps, leftists and elitists parade across our TV screens screaming that the TEA Party is racist, they have yet to produce a single sign or poster being held by real TEA activist or 9-12 member that even comes close to being racist.

They will never be able to produce one, because they only exist in the minds of the people who continue to use race as a weapon for change. Oh, and the Lyndon LaRouche crackpots don't count. We all know LaRouche, (ryhmes with douche, coincidence?) cult members are only slightly more crazy twisted than the 9-11 Truthers and only half as crazy twisted as westboro.

A Message From The Heritage Foundation

The Heritage Pledge
My fellow conservatives,
The stakes couldn’t be higher for our nation at this moment. In the coming months, Americans will help choose which direction our nation’s future will take. Will the federal government continue to spend more, tax more, control more, and defend our liberties less? Or will we choose a new and bolder direction that returns power to the people? All indications are that we are approaching one of those pivotal moments in our political history, a tipping point. It will be a test of our national character.

Like many Americans, we here at The Heritage Foundation are not concerned with party labels or affiliations. We are motivated by principles and by the best policies that will advance and defend those principles in the public square. We are unabashedly conservative, because we work to conserve an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and civil society flourish.So whatever composition we see in our next Congress, we want to see majorities that represent the consent of the governed and that will take control of our presently unlimited government. We intend to leave to our children and grandchildren an America even better than the one we inherited from our forebears.

In its “Pledge to America,” the Republican Party last week offered its own vision for America’s future. The pledge is a step in the right direction and rightly frames the debate around our core first principles and the role of the state, popular consent and self-government.We have ourselves produced a set of recommendations that we think will heal much of what ails our country. We call them “Solutions for America.”

We’re happy that some proposals in the Pledge mirror proposals we have in Solutions for America. Both of these plans are headed in the right direction. But we want to be even bolder.Our Solutions for America is an overarching blueprint for governing. It’s designed to replace the failed policies of the liberal establishment with solid conservative solutions that will shrink government, reduce debt, keep taxes low, put Americans back to work and keep us safe.

Solutions for America identifies the nature and scope of our most pressing problems in 23 policy areas and recommends 128 specific policy solutions to guide the new Congress. Here are some of our ideas:

Cap Federal Spending:
President Obama’s proposed budget would increase the national debt from $13 trillion now to $20 trillion by 2020. This is an unsustainable trajectory. We propose a “binding cap” that forces lawmakers back to fiscal sanity.

Put Entitlement Programs Under the Budget:
We propose putting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid into the congressional budget process rather than continue to allow them to grow on auto-pilot without oversight. Lawmakers would establish a five-year budget for these programs and include triggers to keep spending with approved limits.

Reform Social Security:
We should raise the Social Security retirement age and encourage people to work longer by eliminating payroll taxes for those over the retirement age. This would lessen the burden on employers to keep people employed and lessen the burden on Medicare and other entitlements.

Revive Federalism:
We must reverse the current trend in which the federal government more and more usurps the traditional state role in areas such as transportation, education, health, homeland security and law enforcement.

Loan Welfare Money to Able Bodied Recipients:
Our plan advises treating welfare assistance to able-bodied adults as a loan to be repaid, rather than a free gift from taxpayers. This will reduce dependency while providing temporary help to those who need it.

Keep Taxes Low:
First, no tax increases, including the planned Obama Tax Hikes as well as the reintroduction of the Death Tax. Instead, cut taxes to spur economic growth.

Implement a Pro-Growth, Pro-Jobs Strategy:
We must reduce the top tax rate on corporate earnings, which is currently the second highest among ALL industrial nations, and let businesses immediately deduct investments in new plants and equipment.

Peace Through Strength:
Defense spending is near historical lows. We must refurbish our armed forces, especially our depleted Navy fleet and vital missile defenses.

These are just some of the many policy recommendations we include in Solutions for America. Please go read the entire document at Heritage.org. Share it with your friends and encourage them to join the debate, whether it is by going to a Heritage event, liking us on Facebook, or signing up for The Morning Bell.

Every action you take towards a brighter future for America is – like the Pledge and Solutions for America – a step in the right direction.Now is the time to be bold, and to act as befits our character. That is what our parents and grandparents would expect of us, what future generations demand—and what The Heritage Foundation offers to America. Thank you.

When Did You Stop Beating Your Wife?

Byron York - Evidence points to left-wing activist as source of Boehner affair rumor
Onlookers were startled last Thursday when a man with a video camera approached House Minority Leader John Boehner after the event in Sterling, Virginia at which GOP lawmakers outlined their "Pledge to America" for this November's elections. The event had been open only to credentialed press, but as Boehner left, he saw a group of Tea Partiers standing across the street and went to speak with them. That's when the man with the camera moved in. "Speaker Boehner [sic], have you been cheating with Lisbeth Lyons, the lobbyist for the American Printing Association?" the man asked. "Have you been sleeping with Lisbeth Lyons?" Boehner walked silently past the man and never acknowledged his presence.


Within 24 hours, there was a story on the Drudge Report headlined PAPER: DEMS PLAN SEX HIT ON BOEHNER? It seemed to come from nowhere, but in fact it came from that brief moment in Sterling, and the man who stepped out of the crowd.


Timothy P. Carney - GE backed regulations that killed GE jobs in U.S.
WINCHESTER, VA.-- On Thursday night -- sometime around 8 o'clock -- 130 years after Thomas Edison commercialized the incandescent light bulb, Dwayne Madigan helped make the last such bulb Edison's company, General Electric, would make in the United States.
Madigan spent the rest of his shift at the Winchester Lamp Plant emptying chemicals out of machines and helping clean up the shop. By Friday, Madigan and all 200 plant employees were out of work. Those who would talk to a reporter on Thursday all had someone to blame.


Byron York - Left-wing groups plan giant rally on Mall; will 're-commit to change'
The march, called "One Nation Working Together," is sponsored by the AFL-CIO, the NAACP, the Service Employees International Union, La Raza, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the American Federation of Teachers, the Rainbow Push Coalition, the Campaign for America's Future, and several other activist groups. The event is also being promoted by Organizing for America, the permanent wing of the Obama presidential campaign, which is sending out email notices to members asking that they travel to Washington to take part.


Michael Barone - GOP battle cry: Repeal Obamacare, cut spending
Can Republicans really repeal Obamacare and roll back spending to 2008 levels? Probably not. But by taking clear stands they raise their chances of getting part way there by 2012. And maybe farther later.


Examiner Special Report - Big Green: Environmentalists aren’t really about clean air and water
More than four decades ago, Americans decided it was time to clean up the air and water, and to have a more realistic balance between economic and environmental needs. Great progress followed, thanks to laws like the Clean Air Act of 1970.
Along the way, environmentalists acquired power in politics and became entrenched in policy-making positions throughout government.
They got comfortable wielding political, regulatory and legislative power. And many found in the movement a very comfortable living. Environmentalism went from cause to business to special interest.
Thus the “Big Green” in the title. In their success, environmentalists have gone too far, destroying the once-healthy balance between economic and environmental needs. Their agenda is now about stifling economic development and ham-stringing American free enterprise and the prosperity it creates.


Mark Tapscott - Local Tea Party group may have uncovered massive vote fraud in Texas
The Examiner’s Mark Tapscott wrote about this story over a week ago, but now Fox News is reporting on Tea Party activists in Texas uncovering vote fraud:

November Is Coming

By Ben Howe at RedState

Are YOU Ready?

Letter to President Obama

Dear President Obama,

I am writing to you to ask that you PLEASE help us during this election year. We need you to put the bully pulpit behind the Democratic party to stop these evil Teabaggers. Yes, that is what they call themselves, or so I've been told. It would help if you also called them paranoid, bitter gun nuts and bible thumpers. Please expose these people to the world. Any reference to the Tea Party as "out of control, racist nazis" seems to bring about great results, too. Please put that out on the airwaves. Speaker Pelosi's office could assist. Harry Reid is a great spokesman for our cause. Please put him in front of the cameras. His support of fellow Senate candidates, like Coons, is very helpful. Perhaps he can visit Senator Boxer in California.

Please continue with those revolutionary plans for America. Your agenda is pushing our party to the forefront. Your leadership in those areas has helped immensely. From the upcoming Carbon Tax to Health Care Reform, to the Banking bill, Democratic leadership has opened this countries eyes to the wonders of the Progressive movement. And your use of the unions as soldiers for your message has so improved the outlook for recruiting. Union members across the country are eagerly awaiting the next election.

Thank you for all that you've done to support our party.


The Republicans.

Whats Your Definition of Elitist?

John Boehner: the second of 12 kids from Ohio who is Barack Obama's elitist target

The White House is attempting to cling on to Democratic control of Washington by portraying an Ohio congressman who grew up in near poverty as an elitist country club Republican controlled by wealthy lobbyists.

President Barack Obama is doing his best to turn Representative John Boehner, the House minority leader, into Public Enemy Number One. If Republicans win back the House of Representatives in November, as polls indicate, he will replace Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.

In a recent speech, Mr Obama mentioned Mr Boehner by name nine times. A fundraising email sent out from BarackObama.com this week stated that corporate interests and lobbyists “have put all their chips on one man: Congressman John Boehner”.

Tea Party Rising

Update: $1,704,412.76 since this original post 12 hours ago. Almost $400,000 in twelve hours. WHERE WILL IT END?


Update: $150,000+ since this post.

$1,522,121.00 101% of goal reached.


Christine O'Donnell was not supposed to electable. At. All. Period.

Then, Christine O'Donnell was not supposed to be able to compete with the Democrat money.
She only had $20,000 against the 1.3 million buck that Coons had.

The NRSC, at first, refused to fund her. She didn't care. Within 12 hours, she had over $200,000.

The NRSC changed their mind.

Her goal to raise $200,000 has changed to something more reasonable.

1.5 million dollars.

She has raised 91% of that in less than 5 days.


$1, 371, 688.16 and counting.......


Yeah....that Tea Party.....not gonna amount to much.........


BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

JDRF Walk To Cure Diabetes

A little over two years ago, my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. My wife is walking in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Walk to Cure Diabetes. She’s asking for sponsors. If any of you wish to help, thank you. And I don’t need to know if you did so or not, so no pressures.

Thanks. From my wife’s email:

Greetings!

I’m writing to you to ask for your support in a very special cause.

This year, I’ll be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Walk to Cure Diabetes along with a half-million other walkers across the country. Our goal: To raise $90 million to help fund research for a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.

Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating, often deadly disease that affects millions of people–a large and growing percentage of them children.

Many people think type 1 diabetes can be controlled by insulin. While insulin does keep people with type 1 diabetes alive, it is NOT a cure. Aside from the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes, there are many severe, often fatal, complications caused by the disease.

That’s the bad news… and yes, it’s pretty bad.

The good news, though, is that JDRF is making steady progress toward a cure. In fact, JDRF funding and leadership is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research to date. And JDRF funds more type 1 research than any other charity worldwide.

I’m writing to ask for your support because now more than ever, EACH of us can be a part of bringing about a cure. Each of us can make a real difference

Won’t you please give to JDRF as generously as you’re able?

Together, we can make the cure a reality.

Thank you,

Please visit my Walk Web page if you would like to donate online or see how close I am to reaching my personal goal:

Nine Years After the Attack

Today, I will not be posting pictures of the attack on the Twin Towers. The images are still fresh in MY mind.

The war against jihad continues. Men and women are dying everyday in this war. Muslims, Christians, Pagans, Hindus, Jews are all dying in this war. Jihadists do not care whom they kill to advance their cause.

Nine years ago, the war that Islamists had been fighting was brought to our shores. Our first taste of it was in '79, when the Ayatollah's fanatics took our Embassy and spread his evil doctrines afar. We still did not understand the nature of our enemy even when the USS Cole was attacked. We refused to believe that the war being fought across the globe against Israel, non-radical Muslims, Christians, and Hindus could come here. To this day we STILL refuse to name the enemy officially. Today, Saudi Arabia finances mosques and madrassas across the world, including in the USA, to spread its poisonous Wahabbi doctrine.

Controversies such as the 9/11 Victory mosque, the shape of the Pennsylvania 9/11 memorial, the failure to rebuild at Ground Zero, the dismissal of experts that do not white wash Islam, the refusal to name Nidal Hissan a traitor or mention his motivation, and the continuing attempt to rename the war as something else and conduct it as a criminal investigation are all symptoms of unwillingness to acknowledge that this is a war. Congress, the administrations, and many of the people of America are scared to acknowledge that, while the majority of Muslims do not wish to commit terrorism, a great portion of them do support the actions of the jihadists, in spirit. It is only when Al Qaeda and its adherents abuse THEM that they begin to see the light.

Islam is not civilized. It has the trappings of civilization. Whole nations operate in a civilized manner. But, when its basic tenets are exposed, the basic philosophies are shown, the truth is illuminated. The 19 terrorists were not that different from the rest of Islam other than the fact that they were willing to take action. Are they that different from the suicide bombers seen throughout the Muslim world that are feted in Palestine, Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia? They were only different on a matter of scale. The very fact that such acts are supported at all demonstrates that something is wrong with the philosophy of Islam and its world view.

The West is also to blame. Our refusal to understand that philosophy, our need to self-denigrate, our refusal to accept statements at face value and to follow up, all show weakness to an enemy that uses symbols to influence the audience of their cause. Our refusal to acknowledge a double standard within this country and the press endangers us.

Do you truly think that a tiny, unknown church's desire to burn Korans would have made any impact without the need for the press to trumpet the evil of the act? Where is this press when anti-Semitic acts occur? Where is the press when churches do good? Where is the condemnation of Muslims when the advocate killing people in response to any offense? The West just shrugs and states, "Well, they're Muslim. That's how they are. Can't change it. Its cultural." And so, violence and terrorism continues to succeed. Why SHOULD Islam change when violence has worked for 1400 years.

Remember, Christians may burn Korans, and be perceived as committing a wrong, even by fellow Christians.

Muslims will burn Christians and be applauded.


May God bless those that died by the actions of the terrorists.
May God grant that more heroes like those that ran into burning, collapsing buildings and those that run to the sounds of the gun, continue to be born to defend us.

God Bless America.

SAINTS vs VIKINGS

UPDATE: SAINTS WIN!!!!!!! 14-9

Tough game. And now I can say that the Saints are leading the league in wins.




GEAUX SAINTS!!




Who Dat!

In response to "We can't go to war with Islam"

Millions of Muslims ARE peaceful. But that does not abrogate our responsibility to correctly identity our enemy and their motivation? Khomeini is still considered a major authority on Islamic doctrine.

“Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]…. Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Qur’anic] psalms and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.”

However, those millions still have not denounced or rejected the violent members of Islam. If they did, they would be considered apostates. The tenets of Islam include instructions on the proper use of deceit, violence, and subterfuge against unbelievers. I believe that the majority of Muslims do not want war with the west. However, their silence means that the warmongers in their culture are in charge.

Any criticism of Islam is met with threats or acts of violence. In their eyes, there is no valid criticism. They cannot conceive of the irony of rioting with signs stating “Death to critics of Islam” because the west has said that Islam is a violent religion.

We may not feasibly declare war on all Muslims, but that does not prevent treating any Muslim that advocates violence as an outcast. If an immigrant, deport them. If a country advocates violence, shun them. If its a citizen of the US, treat them accordingly as any that promotes violence. There are laws against that. We need to stop treating them with PC kid gloves and giving into there demands that we change because something offends them. Do we change anything to not offend Christians, Jews, Hindus? Are the Amish or Hasidim any less conservative? The difference is that they don’t demand that a culture or region accommodate them. They adapt. Whole regions of Europe are slowly becoming dhimmified. Women in parts of Norway and Sweden cannot go about in short skirts or blouses without being in danger of rape. Said rapists have declared that women not properly covered are asking for it. Courts in those areas have punished them, but, published that women should dress “modestly” to prevent those attacks.

Mark Steyn says it well. General Napier’s quote is apropos.

At some point we have to face down a culture in which not only the mob in the street but the highest judges and academics talk like crazies. Abdul Rahman embodies the question at the heart of this struggle: If Islam is a religion one can only convert to, not from, then in the long run it is a threat to every free person on the planet.

In a more culturally confident age, the British in India were faced with the practice of “suttee” – the tradition of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands. Gen. Sir Charles Napier was impeccably multicultural:

“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks, and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”

So, we must face down the “customs” of Islam that do not accommodate the free traditions of the West. We ARE in a war with Islam for the hearts and minds of the world. We must trumpet the superiority of our way of life. We must confidently denounce the barbarity of some Muslim practices. We must understand that many Muslim organizations, though peaceful, are supporters of Islamic jihad and the advancement of Sharia throughout the world. And that includes the imam of the “9/11 Victory Mosque. We must demand and end to fatwas demanding the death of converts or honor killings, or,…well, the list is long.

At its basic nature and tenets, Islam is not compatible with western ideals. So either it must change or we must change. Which would you prefer?

The Most Anti-American Behavior Ever

I'm sure a lot of you might disagree with this, but I have to say that the most ugly, un-American, anti-American activity you could possibly participate in is book burning.

Book burning has no place in America. Americans DO NOT BURN BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Communists burn books. Nazis burn books. Maoists burn books. Terrorists burn books.
Chavez burns books. Fidel burns books. Kim Jong Il burns books.

AMERICANS DO NOT BURN BOOKS!!!

What does that make that dimwitted neanderthal that claims to be a preacher down in Gainesville Florida?

An idiot. Has this knucklehead lost his feeble mind?

Have I died and woke up in the film "Fahrenheit 451"?

I sent an email to my Rolling Thunder buds down in Fla. I asked them to show up with fire extingushers and not let this monumental idiocy happen. This so-called preacher is inciting violence. He is endangering the lives of our men and women fighting radical islamic terrorists. He is playing right into their hands.

Water trucks with 2" hoses should be stationed around this so-called "church" on Saturday. One match and everyone gets washed in the agua.
