Are You Ready For Some Footbal...I mean Campaigning?

It almost seems like a Superbowl Game with two teams you really don't like, but you're forced to watch anyway. The Soros' SOCIALISTS vs. the Nevada RINOS.

I've been hanging back and watching all the circus over the past few months. The democrats couldn't produce a good or worthy candidate if they wanted to. They've already alienated Joe Lieberman, so he's out. I can't think of any other decent Dems out there. The extreme left's hold on the DNC pollutes the picture, and with the Drive-By Media also pushing the extreme left agenda, no moderate has a snowball's chance in hell.

Decatur Republican had it right (then again, so did Entertainment Earth!) In order for Obama to win this election, McCain would have to stick his head in the sand and ignore all the outrageous crap that Obama brings to the table. Unfortunately, the GOP hasn't had the "testicular fortitude" to nail Obama for the terrorist-associations, racist associations, his wife's "Whitey" statements, the nations most liberal senatorial voting record, and his outright socialist economic policies. IF the GOP pounces on this, and especially if his pacifist approach to radical terrorist groups is proven to be the most foolish thing this side of Neville Chamberlain, I don't think McCain will have much to worry about.

HOWEVER....we all have a lot to worry about when McCain gets in. Will he adopt a more conservative approach? Or will he go for illegal immigrant amnesty and the closing of our prisoner of war camps? I think Mr. McCain needs to think long and hard about WHO is going to get him in the White House and what that WHO truly stands for: conservative political policies, traditional values, and responsibility in finance as well as in management of resources.

"Entertainment Earth" calls the nomination for Obama...

In my email inbox today was another ad from http://www.entertainmentearth.com, a website for toys, action-figures, etc. According to them, the Democratic Nominee is Barak Hussein Obama. I did a search on the site for "Hillary" and "Clinton" and got nothing.

Here's a screen shot from my email:




What's interesting is that they also have an Al Gore mask. Maybe they're getting an early start on Halloween? Pretty scary....

Voting Democrat = Empowering Terrorism?

Yes I know it's a bold statement. And I know that it will infuriate any libs reading (does Matthew Jackson read anything but ChangeDecatur.com anymore?)

Do *ALL* Democrats believe in empowering terrorists? Of course not. The problem is that the ones in leadership do. Or at least they believe in playing political games instead of doing what's right.

First Harry Reid proclaims that they killed the Patriot Act...and there was applause. Is that something to be happy about? For Reid and his fellow extreme-left colleagues it was. Now Nancy Pelosi has refused to allow the House to vote on a crucial bill to extend the Protect America Act, the bill that had overwhelming BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, but didn't get called for a vote. Why? Because the ATLA (American Trial Lawyers) are allies of the Democrats, and the bill would have made exempted phone companies from being sued by trial lawyers when the phone company cooperated with the US government. Newt Gingrich has an excellent article on the subject which everyone should read.

Today's Democratic Party has had a history of playing politics over doing what's right for America. The Patriot Act, this Protect America Act, confirming Judges, delaying/opposing appointments made by the President, even manufacturing "crimes" in order to get political leaders out of office (Tom Delay) while some of their own members who have committed crimes still enjoy being in office (William Jefferson...and Ted Kennnedy. Sorry Matt, I had to say it.) Should Republican Senator Larry Craig have resigned? I don't know...maybe, but not if Jefferson is allowed to stay. As long as Senators who take bribes, stuff the money in their freezer, lie about it still get to keep their job, then a Senator who cruises for a gay lover in a airport restroom should keep his job(by the way, libs, is that a crime? Was any money exchanged? Shouldn't we embrace his life choices and not condemn him?...funny I don't remember hearing that on CNN or PMSNBC...)

Everyone plays politics, both parties. When the political games won't allow Nancy Pelosi to call a vote for a bill that allows for the monitoring of terrorist activity, and puts the people of the whole US at risk, then that party doesn't deserve any support. Even from the conservative democrats of Central Illinois. Obama wants change...I say lets start with the DNC. Once that's done, then we'll consider voting for Democrats. Until then, I say oppose them at every turn.

The Republican Presidential Nominee

Okay, okay, I'm sure that now that the ChangeDecatur topic is off everyone's minds, it's time to move on to the national elections coming this November.

First, the Dems. What can I say. First, we've got an extreme left-wing socialist who has been in the Senate just one term and has absolutley no significant accomplishments. In fact, everything she has tried to do politically up to this point, she has failed at. HillaryCare was a miserable failure. Not even the Democrats in Congress would support it. I would love to have someone please list what experience and success this candidate has had in the past that qualifies her to be president.......I thought so. Moving on. Next, we have a junior Senator from our wonderful state of Illinois who likewise has very little experience. To date, he has the most liberal voting record of ANY current Senator. (Didn't Kerry have that designation, too?) Again, I would love to have someone please list what experience and/or success this candidate has had that qualifies him to be president. Being part of the Chicago political machine doesn't count; we're not talking about being the head of a prison gang, we're talking about the president of the U.S.

Second, the Republicans. We can argue all we want about who is the most conservative and who would best represent the values of the midwest, etc., but regardless...John McCain (barring an act of God..yes I thought that was funny, too) will be our nominee. What experience does he have? Those decades in the US Senate. He's sponsored many bills, some of which have become law (McCain-Feingold, not a popular one amongst many conservatives, but it's there.) He's been in Washington D.C. as part of the U.S. government for decades. He's tough on terrorists (I still think waterboarding is okay...it's better than blowing up buildings or cutting heads off.) He's weak on illegal immigration, but he is Pro-Life. Heck, Bob Dole said he was a good Republican. (I don't know if an endorsement by Bob Dole is a good thing or not.)

What does it mean for us conservatives? It means he's not the ideal candidate. In fact, he's not the one many would want. But, as was told to me on the job many a time, look at the alternative!!!

I would rather have John McCain, a "moderate" RINO, in the White House than the two socialist, surrender-minded, tax-increasing liberals running on the other side. Even if you look past the politics, the experience factor is far and above anything the Dems could even try to make up for either of their candidates. Who is more qualified, politics aside? John McCain.

Like the candidates or not, one must vote to do one of two things: Either vote FOR the candidate that one thinks would do the best job, or vote AGAINST the alternative which would be much worse to endure than the sub-standard candidate in one's usual party of choice.

I say, John McCain for President.

.....ooh....that will take some getting used to......

Military Prepares For Possible Hillary Presidency

Unlikely as it is, if Hillary Clinton does get into the White House, there will be big changes.

Below are snapshots of our military preparing for such a contingency...

US Coast Guard's assault slugboat...

Navy pilots' newest guided armament for their jet fighters...

Not to be outdone, the Airforce launches their own version...

Hey y'all. It's been a while.

I have been a bit busy. Most of it taking care of my 6-month-old and working, but also watching the Mrs. William J. Clinton/B. Hussein Obama battle.

So far, I haven't seen a whole lot of mudslinging (yet) from the Republicans. Then again, the MSM hasn't said much about the Republicans. It's always Clinton, Obama, Edwards, or what celebrity is endorsing which one of the above.

Well, I'm no celebrity, and I am not endorsing anyone yet for president. However, of all the Republican candidates, Romney and Huckabee seem to be the two that I would want more than the others. Guiliani would be a third...I think he'd make a good VP, or maybe Homeland Security director. He might make a good president, but I think his stance on illegal immigration stinks. But, that's me.

Here's a couple of Huckabee's ads that I've seen on YouTube. I can't disagree with anything he said.

Okay you conservatives: VPCheney, BA Moonshadow, Macon County Republican, ?Spongeblog (where are you at?)....what do you think?

Happy Thanksgiving

Al Gore Wins Piece Prize

Al Gore's junk science movie "An Inconvenient Al" got him and some of his U.N. disciples the Nobel Piece Prize yesterday.

A real big piece of . . .well, you know.

In other news, former President William Jefferson Clinton was also given an award this past week for his lifetime contribution in promoting the sanctity of marriage with his never-ending dedication and steadfast faithfulness to his wife.

BTW...if you truly believe these people deserve these awards, I have some ocean-front property in Arizona for sale...

Al Gore Bush-bashes because GHWB didn't do enough to stop Saddam's weapons programs and his pursuit of WMD including nukes!! And then he bashes W because suddenly Saddam didn't have WMD and wasn't a threat. Gore you are pathetic!

BA, great post! Nice to have you on board!!

I just had a flashback to "The A-Team." You don't know a guy named Murdock, do ya? :)

Busy Busy

It might be a sign of age, but it just seems like the days and weeks are flying by. Actually, I think it's all because I've been far too busy. Now though I have a good reason to be busier...my wife and I are parents! (finally.) It's my first Father's Day as a father!

It's been kind of fun buying stuff for the little guy. Wal-Mart RULES. The Babies-R-Us in Springfield was nice...everything you would ever need. The Carter's Outlet store in Tuscola is also a nice place to pick up stuff cheap.

Finding baby stuff with a conservative flair in those stores is impossible (except for the occasional American flag.) After researching the net I found many options for babies with a political flavor. (Warning: There are looney left designs out there, too. Mostly Bush-bashers.) Checkout http://www.cafepress.com/ and put in your search term of choice.

Some of my finds:

(conservative Weepublican, that is)

(that's a pile of money in the thought bubble)

(If we would have had a girl...DEFINITE PURCHASE)

(And when that daughter got older...)


I just hope the Republicans come to their senses and dump this stupid amnesty kick. Otherwise, I may have to get this one:

Happy Father's Day Everyone!

Justice?

Sandy Burglar finally got his. Well, sorta.

Sandy Burger's "misappropriation" of documents from the National Archives in his shorts and socks cost him his law license.

I think he should have got prison time. Or, we should impeach him.

Yeah, that's it.

Nancy Pelosi: Guilty of a felony?

The "drive-by media" hasn't covered this so much, but the conservative media is screaming about it. I thought about this for a while, and I just don't get it.

• We have NO diplomatic relations with Syria, therefore there are no US government officials who are allowed to speak with any Syrian government official UNLESS given specific instructions to do so by the President of the United States.
• Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) went to Syria and spoke with Syrian officials, supposedly, in her words, "saying [to them] the same thing the president has been saying." There have been numerous pictures and media stories detailing Ms. Pelosi's trip and the Syrian officials she spoke to.
• According to what I read, the Logan Act, "forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years."

Diplomatic relations with Syria were dissolved for a reason; at the very least, Syria must be categorized as a nation we do not get along with. Perhaps an adversary. Perhaps, maybe, a safe harbor for terrorists and WMDs, etc. ANYWAY...it seems to me that anyone going to a country we have no diplomatic relations with and talking with their leader should have also been sent there ONLY at the request and instruction of the President of the United States.

I am inclined to think Ms. Pelosi is in violation of the Logan Act and is therefore guilty of a felony. As such, I think she, at the very least, should step down as Speaker of the House, and in reality, should resign from the House of Representatives altogether.

Part of me wondered if perhaps Bush had sent her; however, part of me wonders if this isn't a blatant afront to the policies of the President, and this is Nancy's way of saying, "Ha. I'm going to talk to the Syrians anyway, you stooge, and there's nothing you can do about it!" They way i got it figured, if Tom DeLay had to leave simply because of trumped up charges by a Democrat political hack, then Pelosi should most definitely leave office because of her obvious felony.

Somehow, I have a feeling if the Attorney General filed charges against her, the MSM would categorize it as a political maneuver and continue their assault on the Bush administration. If I were GWB, I would have her indicted tomorrow. Whether you agree with the Pres. or not, you don't go to foreign governments without permission and undermind the US government. Kerry shouldn't have done it. Ted Kennedy shouldn't have done it. And Pelosi shouldn't have done it. I still say this borders on treason.

Quote Of The Day

From the ole email bag. President Bush should put this quote up on his desk:

A quote that transcends the years.

"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers! In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly, I'm readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I'll, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials - after the fact."

- - - Robert E. Lee, 1863

I guess you could insert Kos kids or left-wing millionaires in for newspaper editors. Oh well.

LR's take on the recent Ann Coulter thing--

First of all, I am a fan of Ann Coulter. She gets to the meat of the matter quickly and succinctly. I like her style. It's a little more abrasive than some, but that's Ann. She's good at it.

BUT....

Calling the Breck Girl a faggot? In my opinion, a junior high choice of words. I would call John Edwards a sleazy blood-sucking lawyer who is trying to buy his way into the White House. Her choice of words is not something I would use.

What I find interesting is how the same crowd that screams for "tolerance" is IN-tolerant to someone who is different (ie, disagrees with them and, in this case, also uses Junior High name-calling.) Ann's choice was hers. If we apply the left's languarge of tolerance, then she should not be condemned. We should be 'inclusive' and 'celebrate the diversity' that is represented by all opinions and word choices, including Ann Coulter's.

What's the message in all this?

1) Ann Coulter needs to be a little less impulsive, and think how she's going to say something before she says it.

2) "Tolerance" is not being tolerant. It's tolerating an idea or message (or even embracing it,) unless the message contradicts the left; then it's a "hate crime" and that idea or message is not tolerated. Contradictory, isn't it?

DNC Now In Full Support of Hillary?

As if Hillary's own website were not enough, now the DNC is asking for even more money to promote Hillary's run for the White House.

Here's a quote from the site:

It's time to help Senator Hillary Clinton get elected to the oval office. The Democratic National Committee is currently polling Americans through the Internet to determine the electability of Senator Clinton for the presidency of the United States in 2008.

If you would like to show your support for Senator Clinton and encourage her to run for President of the United States in 2008 please click the link below.
