Greg Gutfield wants to welcome the members of the Corodoba Mosque by opening a new bar......

By now, unless the local builders refuse to work on it, everyone realizes that there's no stopping the propaganda action that is the Cordoba Mosque at Ground Zero.

So Greg Gutfield of RedEye Tonight is fighting back.

A Mecca of Tolerance

He's looking for investors. This is NOT A JOKE.

Make sure you visit Hot Air's comments to help name the new bar.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Apparently President Obama Is Flexible

Updated and bumped:
Admiral in charge not told of assets for clean up in Gulf. Booms in the warehouse in Maine, still there.
Governor Jindal asked for booms a week after the explosion and was still millions of feet short on May 24th.

We are in the VERY best of hands.....hope he can find HIS butt with those hands.

President Obama is going to kick his own ass. That should be on pay per view.

Even Rolling Stone knows whose ass needs to be kicked.

First, the President votes "present", stating that he doesn't have the authority to control the cleanup. Then,

"The buck," he reiterated the next day on the sullied Louisiana coastline, "stops with me."

By this, I'm sure, he meant that BP had paid him a lot of money.

Wait,......what? That's not what he meant? So, even though he took responsibility for everything, he still has to find out whose ass has to be kicked? Um, dude.......if you don't know by now, perhaps we need someone that has a clue. Even though, he says that his administration was in control of everything, HE STILL DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. He's still trying to blame OTHERS.

Red tape keeps miles of booms in a warehouse in Maine.
Assistance from the Netherlands has been delayed.
State governments have been tied up by red tape for weeks.
Possible private solutions ignored.
The Government is making things worse.

Obama is failing to lead.

Heck, he hasn't even been good at "organizing" the response.

I don't think he WANTS to actually be in charge, he just wants the credit for fixing it.

Support the 1st Amendment - Draw Mo

Due to the recent calls for violence against many artists in Europe and America because of depictions of Mohammed, any depictions, not just "offensive" ones, Dan Savage has declared May 20, 2010 as Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.

Michael C. Moynihan at Reason has taken the ball and run with it.

I will be employing my tremendous skill as an illustrator, of course, and expect that my colleagues will do the same. If they refuse, they will be declared weak-kneed, namby-pamby, quisling infidels and will be shamed on this blog (Though such idle threats rarely work these days; perhaps I could threaten them with a painful death, which seems to do the trick). If readers would like to show their solidarity, please email your Mohammad masterpieces to me here: mmoynihan at reason.com. The best ones will be published on Hit & Run, which, along with the concomitant death threat, is reward enough.

Allah Pundit at Hot Air is spreading the word.

So, all of you artists out there....heck, non-artists too, be creative. Draw Mohammad. Send it in. Show how much you respect those thugs that threaten civilized people.

CB Edit: Our BFF SKK has a back story on this at Susan Katz Keating

Socialized Medicine is Great!

Just ask the Japanese!

In other words, Japan already has the system that proponents of ObamaCare eventually want to install here in America. So let’s take a look at how it works in the real world.

Trust me, its very scary......

The day my father was taken to the hospital, the nurse told Mom to obtain several changes of clean pajamas, underwear, and towels for my father. Also soap, shampoo, and other toiletries, which were needed right away. Conveniently, the hospital has a kiosk that sells all kinds of items and is open 24 hours. Just a little markup over buying at a regular store, miles away… maybe 100% or so.

Oh, yes, I almost forgot, they told Mom to bring a thousand-dollar deposit. Cash.

My sister and mother take turns visiting Dad everyday. They have to pick up his dirty laundry, wash it and bring it back, because the hospital doesn’t do that. But Dad’s quite lucky that he stays in a nice hospital with three different insurance policies, under the auspices of his brother in law. My girlfriend’s father only had government insurance when he was hospitalized, and the hospital did not even turn on an air conditioner in the middle of August, with temperatures over a hundred degrees and humidity close to 100%.

So ObamaCare is going to cut costs? I wonder how.......?

Here's A Great Analysis

Hot Air: White House: ObamaCare opponents lying by & using Obama's own words
So far, no one seems to accept the cold, hard reality that the President's health care plan is wildly unpopular. Instead, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs blames the national protest on an old standby: the vast right-wing conspiracy. He said K Street lobbyists were organizing the raucous town halls, where "angry mobs" are disrupting the "honest" conversations that Democrats are trying to have in their home districts. It's "manufactured anger," he told reporters yesterday. The Democratic National Committee echoed the spin, saying, "The Republicans and their allied groups... are inciting... a small number of rabid right-wing extremists..."

When the Left protested the war with graffiti on the Capitol steps, it was "civic engagement."

When conservatives ask questions about what's included in health care "reform," it's orchestrated thuggery.

As Michelle Malkin points out, "The DNC's definition of 'thoughtful': Sitting silent about the lack of transparency, deliberation, truth in numbers...on the ObamaCare plan.

The DNC definition of incitement: Asking out loud, 'How can you manage health care when you can't manage Cash for Clunkers?'"

Isn't inciting the heartland exactly what then-candidate Obama prescribed last September? Blogger Ed Morrissey pulled a quote from his campaign that demonstrates just how disingenuous the administration is. To make a case for his candidacy, Obama told supporters to get aggressive.

"I want you to argue with them and get in their face." Obviously the President's rules of engagement--like his theories on tolerance and speech--are a one-way street, open only to liberals.

and beer, I present Three Beers Later....

He has a very good history lesson about the Irish. He concludes that the GOP is Irish.......

Btw, Three Beers also conveys my feelings in a nutshell about the Irish One's support of the Veterans: F*ck You Very Much, Mistah Commander-in-Chief. Sir.

Why is he upset? Why not let the Commander of the American Legion tell us. (h/t That Lovely Irish lass, Michelle Malkin)

"It became apparent during our discussion today that the President intends to move forward with this unreasonable plan," said Commander David K. Rehbein of The American Legion. "He says he is looking to generate $540-million by this method, but refused to hear arguments about the moral and government-avowed obligations that would be compromised by it."

The Commander, clearly angered as he emerged from the session said, "This reimbursement plan would be inconsistent with the mandate ' to care for him who shall have borne the battle' given that the United States government sent members of the armed forces into harm's way, and not private insurance companies. I say again that The American Legion does not and will not support any plan that seeks to bill a veteran for treatment of a service connected disability at the very agency that was created to treat the unique need of America's veterans!"

Commander Rehbein was among a group of senior officials from veterans service organizations joining the President, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki and Steven Kosiak, the overseer of defense spending at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The group's early afternoon conversation at The White House was precipitated by a letter of protest presented to the President earlier this month. The letter, co-signed by Commander Rehbein and the heads of ten colleague organizations, read, in part, " There is simply no logical explanation for billing a veteran's personal insurance for care that the VA has a responsibility to provide. While we understand the fiscal difficulties this country faces right now, placing the burden of those fiscal problems on the men and women who have already sacrificed a great deal for this country is unconscionable."

"Why don't you mind your God damned business?"

Would any Democrats and/or liberals PLEASE tell me why you let your party support this crook? I would really like to know why there isn't an outcry in the Democratic party to oust this thief.

State of the Union since the election of the Democrats

Tell me again why electing these monsters into office was so much better than McCain. Tell me again why Obama doesn't need a lick of common sense or experience in the real world. Tell me again why staying home instead of voting for the GOP in 2006 was SUCH a good idea to punish the GOP....

The price of gold has risen over $200/oz. since election day.
The Dow Jones Average has dropped by nearly 2000 points since election day, has lost approximately 50% in value since its high in 2007, and is at its lowest since February, 1997. We have lost 12 years of gains!
Banks that were given billions, and refuse to state what they did with the money, are now asking for more.
Companies that were given bailouts, are now asking for more billions to drop into the money hole.
And the only sales that are booming are guns and ammo. 4.5 million NICS background checks for gun transfers since the election. And that's just the FFL dealers.....

The press has clamored that the economy has been bad since President Bush took office. Their predictions have finally come true. We ARE in a recession, one caused by debt, fear mongering, and unexplained runs on money market accounts. A run that the press has STILL refused to investigate. A recession that has yet to hit 1981-82 levels, yet could become a depression if the fear mongering by Congress, Obama, and the press, continues. Obama needs to continue this mode of operation in order to pass unread spending bills that include socialist programs that could not get passed, otherwise.

Malfeasance and corruption on the part of Congress created this mess. It is directly attributable to the Democrat Party, Barney Franks, Chris Dodd, Fannie and Freddie's failure, and Schumer's comments that caused a run on IndyBanc.

First, the banks tanked because of a mysterious run on the money market accounts. Bush pushed for the first bail out after this info and dangerous comments by Schumer about Indymac. Then, the Big Three needed to be rescued. They're "too big to fail." And the Democrats saw a crisis that just couldn't be wasted. Now everything that the Democrats hold dear needs a bail out. We're going to spend an additional TRILLION PLUS dollars on a spending bill that some say isn't BIG ENOUGH. NOW, the Democrats are asking for additional billions for more bailout. And this doesn't include the new budget that will saddle every taxpayer with a bill of over $20,000.00.

US GDP: $14.3 Trillion (and contracting)
Projected US Debt 2013: 15+ Trillion. ( I think that means we're bankrupt.)

Mr. Tough Money Love has the numbers:(Get the duct tape) He also explains "deficits" in a very simple way.....

According to the budget document, here are the projected federal debt numbers:

Gross Federal debt in 2008 = $ 9.986 trillion (actual)

Gross Federal debt in 2009 = $12.704 trillion (est.)

Gross Federal debt in 2013 = $16.198 trillion (est.)

(That’s $16,198,000,000,000.00 for those who like to see the zeroes.)

So in one budget year, the Obama team wants to increase our national debt by 27% and over four years, by 62%. Staggering. I expect the actual numbers to exceed the estimates, unless Congress decides to throw even more tax increases into the equation.

Moving on, the budget document includes some economic assumptions on which the projections are based. One of those economic assumptions was so bogus I laughed out loud.Because the CBO estimates used by the White House do not take into account the recently passed stimulus bill. You know, that little $787 billion expenditure. (The budget document points that out in a tiny footnote.) Table S-8 shows that the White House assumes that real GDP will fall by 1.2% in 2009 then increase by 3.2% in 2010. That’s a gigantic swing in one year. Table S-8 also includes the real GDP estimates from the Congressional Budget Office. The CBO predicts that GDP will fall by 2.2% in 2009 and increase by only 1.5% in 2010. These numbers are significantly less optimistic than those of the White House and even these numbers are wrong. Why?

So why would the White House use CBO estimates that ignore the stimulus spending? You would hope that the stimulus bill would actually improve GDP growth. But, as I reported in this fantasy interview, the CBO ran GDP projections that included the stimulus spending. Those projections were for GDP to show no growth in 2013 and to actually begin to decline in 2014. No wonder the White House didn’t use those numbers in its budget document.

Apparently, the cure is actually what might kill us.

Its gotten so bad that even liberals are furious with Congress and Obama.

And Conservatives are actually protesting in the streets.

Obama: I was for bigoted elitism before I was against..., well, I'm still for it....

That Senator Obama! Such an articulate, well spoken man! Never slips up! Always means what he says! You're never confused as to his meaning.....

Well, then. Apparently he has allowed his true feelings to come out. Let's see if this gets as much airplay as the infamous "maccaca" event by a conservative that we all know.

Make sure that you read the comments at these posts. Well, maybe not all of them...TalkLeft has hundreds. But, if you have nothing else to do.......

Obama Round up:

Everybody's favorite blogger (at least around here....), Michelle Malkin has a great set of...links. (Get your minds out of the gutter.....) Bitter, religious xenophobes

Michael Goldfarb over at The Weekly Standard points out that Senator Obama believes all of the other issues are just attempts to distract the public from seeing how he is just trying to help those in need. I think they are distractions....from Obama's campaign strategy of vapid empty rhetoric. Oops, reality!

Marc Ambinder's article at The Atlantic has generated a great set of comments that show the how the people of this country can read the exact same words and get a 180 degree separation in meaning.

Talk Left has it all at Obama's Gaffe, Obama's Response, and Late Night: Small Town. Their comments are running into the hundreds......

And Jennifer Rubin has a comment at Commentary.com in the blog: Contentions
John Podhoretz also weighs in on the kerfuffle at Contentions.

Jonathan Martin at Politico mentions John McCain's response.

Gateway Pundit has all sorts of blogging goodies about Obama's outreach to Pennsylvania's poor, downtrodden, religious, gun-toting, bigots, including video of Obama's "non-apology."

The Ace has a great post (And a flaming skull!) on this issue. Of course he has a link to a great authority on race AND small towns, the Sheriff from Blazing Saddles.....
