What’s on your mind this Sunday? What stories do you think will lead the new week? Where do you think people’s attention will be starting Monday? What are you doing to get off your butt and make something good, ANYTHING good, happen for your country this week? Trust us, that couch won’t get up and float away if you’re not anchoring it down all the time.
Here are the areas of focus we have right now, where we’re trying to learn as much as possible to make a difference:
* How do we collectively stop the current administration from bringing Khalid Sheik Muhammad and other Muslim terrorists to New York City — which we believe will be a national nightmare and major assault on US security interests.
* How do we, collectively, across the partisan aisle, eliminate ACORN as a political tool the current POTUS and the DNC use to commit voter fraud and rig elections?
* How can we all work together to force notorious race-baiter Eric Holder to resign as Attorney General — as the decision he’s made with KSM comes on the heels of his refusal to prosecute Black Panthers for voter intimidation last year, his refusal to pursue corrruption charges against White House ally Bill Richardson in Nevada, and his decision to persecute CIA and the US military for their efforts to keep America safe — all the while doing everything he can to set terrorists free. Eric Holder has got to step down. Worst. Attorney. General. Ever.
* What can we all do, every day, to make sure we are ready to prevent fraud in the Iowa Caucus in 2012? PLEASE take this seriously. A massive effort was launched on Dr. Utopia’s behalf from Chicago to game the Iowa Caucus. A good portion of Chicago rolled across the Illinois border to vote in Dubuque, Waterloo, Des Moines,you name it to ensure Dr. Utopia won that Caucus in 2008. The caucus centers are chaos hatcheries. Dr. Utopia’s goons, most of whom certainly appeared to be ACORN or SEIU, marched in, took over, and told anyone who wouldn’t stand with him that they were RAAACISTS and needed to prove they weren’t RAAACISTS by voting “for the first black president”. These people bullied older voters not to stand with Hillary Clinton, or just tried to send anyone over the age of 60 to fictitious caucus sites across town, claiming these people were in the wrong place. It was a systematic grab of the Caucus by the Utopia campaign. Republicans don’t see the danger in 2012 because they didn’t pay any attention to 2008 and the Democrats’ primaries. What is happening now is that David Axelrod is focusing on selecting Dr. Utopia’s Republican opponent for 2012. Rahm Emanuel is running the show for the current administration’s political and social agenda. Axelrod is focused on that second term. Axelrod wants Dr. Utopia to run against a beatable Republican like Romney, Crist, Huckabee, Huntsman, or Pawlenty. They are going to do everything in their power to stop Sarah Palin from getting the nomination. Democrats will vote in droves in the Republican primaries and caucuses to select the opponent they want to run against. YOU MUST STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING. To do that, you need to start talking about this now because it will take the next three years to secure the nomination process and prevent Axelrod from gaming it.
Trust us on this.
*******
The other thing on our minds today is the reaction, and in some cases furor, that’s erupted since we offered our sincere thanks to George and Laura Bush for their basic human decency this last week. While we’ve gotten thousands of comments here on this site and emails from people out there who support our thanks to the former President, we’ve gotten some of the vilest and most chilling hate mail we’ve ever received over this post.
During the 2008 primaries, Dr. Utopia’s supporters threw rocks through one of our windows that had Hillary for President posters in them. The rocks, of course, had “Obama ‘08″ stickers on them. When we wore our Hillary buttons out, which was every day from February 2007 through June 7, 2008, Dr. Utopia’s “Hope and Change Gang” spat at us, called us RAAACISTS for not supporting him, pushed us, and tried to rip the buttons off our coats.
In the General Election, when we became DeMcCrats for McCain, the Left ratcheted up the hatred for us. Now, Dr. Utopia’s supporters started throwing punches. In Boystown, we almost got punched in the face in line waiting to get into Sidetracks a few times because Dr. Utopia’s followers didn’t like that we had on McCain tee shirts. Just before the election last year, we actually got punched in the face and attacked when we were crossing the street, minding our own business, and overheard a group of Dr. Utopia supporters making fun of Sarah Palin, calling her baby Trig “a retarded troll”, and using every vile, misogynistic pejorative they love to toss casually out at women against Palin (a woman, in truth, they knew nothing about…except that the Utopia campaign wanted her destroyed). They engaged us and said, “Yah, don’t you just hate her…don’t you just think that bitch should be raped and her baby should be dumped in the river” and more vile things than we can recount. We stood up for Palin, asked them how talk like this fits into the whole Hope and Change agenda, and received a punch to the face for it.
We’ve continued to take lumps from the Left ever since. Our friends repeatedly tell us to stop speaking out against Dr. Utopia because we live in Chicago and so many of his thugs are here. They tell us to stop going after ACORN, to stop telling people the SEIU should be disbanded, to stop exposing the fraud and corruption in this City, to stop speaking out about Utopia-sponsored waste like the 2016 Olympics bid, etc. By doing all of this, we have lost a lot of work, especially freelance jobs for the City. Many people who used to employ us for various projects will no longer return our calls, because they are Obots and don’t want to do business with people who aren’t drinking the Kool-Aid. This has caused great changes to our lifestyle and forced us to live and work on much reduced budgets, with far fewer friends in Chicago than we had in 2007 before any of the primaries and the general election.
So. Be. It.
The hatred spewed at us for merely thanking George W. Bush and his wife Laura for being good Americans proves to us how mentally ill the Leftists really are. We’re half-tempted to start publishing the emails we’re getting that tell us that people hope we get AIDS for supporting anyone but Dr. Utopia. AIDS. They hope we get AIDS.
When you want to push a gay man’s buttons, there are three levels of hate you can toss at him to unhinge the guy (trust us on this):
(1) Tell him he’s losing his hair (especially if he’s not)
(2) Tell him he’s fat (especially if he’s not)
(3) Tell him he looks sick, or that you hope he’s got AIDS (which will, in many cases, cause the guy to be sick to his stomach with worry for the next six months)
No matter how toughened you are, especially after enduring relentless hate mail, rocks through windows, and punches to the face for the last two years from these lunatics, on some level the fresh “Two Minute Hate” against us does have an impact. It’s sure as hell not going to make us suddenly support our current fey, apologetic, socialist president. It’s certainly not going to bring us over to the Left. If anything, this garbage just forces us further away from the Democrat Party, which is unrecognizable to us at this point, and is truly a hate-fueled-socialism-engine completely taken over by the radical Left.
You said something nice about a former President…so we hope you get AIDS, faggots.
Do you see what they do here? They have an automatic attack word prepped for whomever they want to go after. If it’s women, they’ll call them c**** or bitches or whores. If it’s gay men who aren’t falling in line, the words faggot and sissy are lobbed readily, followed by hopes they’ll get AIDS and die. If it’s someone white who is not blindly following White House directives, well that person is a RAAACIST.
It is the same damn thing every time with the Left.
And you know what? We’ve gotten hate mail from Republicans in the past. Do you know what’s interesting? Republicans, and people in the religious Right, have never, NOT ONCE, told us they wished we’d get AIDS. NOT ONCE. They’ve disagreed with us. They’ve told us we are bad people for not agreeing with them. They’ve intelligently taken apart whatever we’ve said, point by point, line by line, to correct us as they saw fit. But they’ve never wished death on us. They’ve never even name-called us. They may have quoted Scripture and said how much they “disagreed with our lifestyles”, but they didn’t even tell us we were going to Hell, Fred Phelps-styled. At worst, the really religious people — the ones the LGBTQ community paints as such terrible hate mongers out to get all of us in Boystown — just say things like “We hope you repent before you are Judged by the Creator” and things like that.
It is night and day when compared to what the Left dishes out.
And it is startling to see that.
We’re still processing it, as we’re getting a huge uptick in emails and comments here, but it’s worth a full essay of its own in the days ahead. We’re honestly floored by this, and see a silver lining in it that we now have a collection of emperical evidence of what the Left can dish up when they’re on SOMEONE’S marching orders to come after you (with many IP addresses shared amongst multiple posting IDs and email accounts…IPs that originate in Chicago…where, coincidentally we’re sure, the DNC is now headquartered).
Interesting stuff.
We’re not going to change how we think or what we say for anyone.
If we see good in something George Bush or Dick Cheney does, we’re going to thank them for it. If we’d see something good in what Dr. Utopia and his wife do, we’ll thank them for that too. So far, this has not happened. If it does, they will be thanked. We’re sure that will blow minds too, but we’re centrists around here…which means we’re not culture warriors under anyone’s flag but our own, who just want to see America go forwards to strength and prosperity, not be dragged down into socialist malaise with a radical at the helm who still, to this day, refuses to put his damn hand over his heart during the national anthem.

Coffee summit!
Clinton: I would look forward to coffee with Palin
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says she would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin over coffee. In an interview for broadcast Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Clinton says she’s never met the one-time GOP vice presidential hopeful and former Alaska governor and thinks it would be very interesting to sit down and talk with her. Clinton was responding to a question about a passage in Palin’s new book. Palin writes that if she and Clinton ever meet for coffee, “I know that we would fundamentally disagree on many issues.” But Palin says, “my hat is off to her hard work on the 2008 campaign trail.” Clinton, in Singapore for a meeting of world leaders, says she’s ready to have a cup of coffee and maybe she could make a case on some of the issues on which the two women disagree.

Dear HillBuzz,
I just found your website a couple days ago and truly admire what you are doing. I used to think I was liberal when I was younger, which for me mostly meant “humanist” as I grew in up Switzerland and Frnace and they still mean the 18th century Enlightenment term by “liberal”. As I grew up, sure I changed my mind about a few things, but I mostly kept the same values. Except now I am characterized as a right-wing radical nutcase because I am pro-death penalty but against dehumanizing, degrading treatment of any individual; pro-small government and the free market; anti-elective abortion, and my feminism dates back to Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Louisa May Alcott. I respect gays as individuals while retaining my right to disagree about sexual choices, and support domestic partnerships/civil unions/whatever with all the same economic and legal rights as marriage, but refuse to call it a “marriage”. I am a former Army soldier who thinks Affirmative Action has hurt minorities and women, a Reform Jew who says “Merry Christmas”, and a mother who will unhesitatingly shoot any threat to my home and children. Your blog is quickly becoming my favorite political commentary website, and I love the opportunity to read things from a completely different perspective than the Republican websites, yet still find intellectual critique and respectful disagreement.
It is absolutely appalling that you have had to endure such vile invective, simply for daring to proclaim your opinion. Perhaps it can be a comfort that it seems to be mostly spewing from a handful of IP addresses… the volume of mail does not necessarily reflect the amount of people who are so hateful. I hope that few people are so blinded by their ideology, that they would wish death and disease upon you. I have found that most REAL people, not artificial Internet personalities, are generally decent, but the media and the mass emailing tools are able to make the handful of bad apples have a much greater impact than they should.
God bless you and protect you and THANK YOU for your fantastic work. If you ever consider moving, know that Tennessee is a surprisingly easy-going, pleasant place to live!
November 15, 2009 at 5:06 pm
High-Five another Tennesseean fan!!! I guess we just busted the “Southern, racist, extremist, rabid mobs” myth now didn’t we?? =) WooHoo!
November 15, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Well, this week, like always, I will go to work…to be help provide for my family and I will never see a goodly portion of my earnings as they go to taxes…a goodly portion of which go to trully able bodied types who are ‘entitled’ to a portion of my (your) paychecks.
I plan on calling my US Senators offices (’senior’ Senator Bob “I am not my dad, but please go ahead and think that I am whilst voting’Casey; and my ‘junior’ Senator Benedict Arlen Specter (yes…they took his ‘gravitas’ away when he became a Dem…Hope and Change we CAN believe in!!!) and tell them THAT I DON’T WANT PelosiCare; and I will also express my OUTRAGE at the Constitutional debacle that is the ‘criminal’ trials of KSM.
I wonder, Boyz if there is some sort of ‘ip clearinghouse’ where you could compare your threatening emails to those received by Beck, Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin. I would hazard a guess that those inclined to threaten one would threaten many.
Please (my mom instincts) be careful!!! But as they say in the AF…’when you are over the target, you get hit by the most flak.’ You Boyz have been hitting the bullseye!

I hear you Hillbuzz, about hatred from the left. I’ve been on the receiving end too, and the depth of it still startles me. In my entire lifetime, as a Democrat, I have never had the same kind of hatred directed towards me from conservatives or Republicans.
My theory is that people in this country want to feel good about themselves and to have some pride in their country. I think that’s just human nature. When I study past presidencies, that is the one thing second termers seem to have in common, they make people feel good. I didn’t like all of Reagan’s policies, but I sure did cry at some of his speeches. Who can forget the pride you felt watching that wall come down? Carter, he made us feel like a bunch of complainers who were too lazy to put on a sweater. We were also getting hungry and running out of gas and feeling embarrassed because, great country that we are, we just couldn’t seem to get those hostages back.
My point being, people will be voting for the party that treats them with respect and makes them feel good about themselves and their country. I almost suspect this trumps issues and ideologies. I also suspect that the left is going to be learning this hard lesson in 2010 and 2012.

Yttik, you would think so, huh. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Certainly the liberal Democrats blather on about equal rights, yet when it comes down to it, they don’t support it. Once they are elected, they conveniently forget their promises. This isn’t new, this has gone on for decades, yet the community (HB being the exception) doesn’t seem to “get it” yet.
Then there is Dick Cheney … a man who walked the walk with respect toward his gay daughter and her partner. He was treated horribly by the gay community, yet he was nothing but respectful.
November 15, 2009 at 2:37 pm
“The community” as you say, will get it eventually. They may not vote Republican, but they will be so disillusioned and disgusted they will probably stay home. Obama made them feel good about themselves and about America, but that’s already wearing thin. they’re starting to notice how he hasn’t lived up to his promises. People aren’t feeling so good about themselves and their country anymore.
We have to remember that “silent majority” that Nixon talked about. Those are the people who stayed home during the last election, discouraged by the Republican brand and not excited about McCain. They’ll be out in force next time.
November 15, 2009 at 1:50 pm
One more thought I would like to add to ‘the Sunday thread.’ If you are outraged at what Obama/Holder are doing by bringing KSM to NYC…here is a petition, organized by NYC Firefighters to voice opposition to this travesty.
NYC’s Fire Department deserve to be heard and their service honored. Please sign if you can:

November 15, 2009 at 2:04 pm
I made this comment earlier and I’m going to say it again….If you read the headlines there are 2000 things to hate Oba-Mao for in the headlines right now. The terrorists in NYC, healthcare, amnesty, taking abortion out of the HC bill, all these controversial things are flooding the headlines. It is NO MISTAKE that the Oba-Mao-Bots (Axelrod being #1) are out spewing forth a million things at once. It keeps the media from focusing on one issue. If you disseminate the attention it lessens the importance of one issue.
This is a strategy. They do it often. It throws the media off and most people throw up their hands and say “screw it, I’m watching football”. That’s EXACTLY what they want you to do.
We need to make sure we maintain a focus on how horrible bringing these terrorists to the US is. They are trying to distract the media from this issue…and we cannot allow that to happen.
November 15, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Hi Hillbuzz, you guys are amazing to be so strong in your convictions, to risk your standing in your community – socially and economically – and to withstand the onslaught of vitriolic hatred in order to stand true to your convictions. Really horrible to have your livelihood damaged for your beliefs. That is truly a cult-like first step on the road to totalitarianism. Man, it’d be so easy for you to just sink back into the warm embrace of your community and laugh, make money and be social. Your kind of strength is rare and a lovely thing.
Be strong.
PS I am moving from Independent closer to Conservative these days, still I have read some craziness from the right on the Net. The right wing has the potential to be as judgmental as the left. And being human, they of course have the same possibilty for hateful action … so it amazes me that you say your experience from the right has been less vitriolic than from the left.
I have to believe you, since it is your experience, and at the same time it puzzles me greatly.
November 15, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Mae,
believe them.
One of the reasons for my diaspora from Liberalism to Independent-Libertarian-Conservative was the pure hate that was unleashed constantly by the left that was ‘cool’, OK and “right” because ‘nudge nudge, wink wink’ “We ALL know how evil conservatives are.”
Yet Gallup shows that the 40% of Americans side on conservatism and an additional 39% see themselves as moderates==== which in most cases side with conservatives on fiscal issues, defense, constitutional rights etc.
That remaining 20% that is liberal believe they are the majority— and if not, are still superior in all ways to the other 79% of the US population.
Those are the ones spewing hate and yes, are the ones that prove Liberalism to be the ideology of elitist intolerance and pathological hate.
November 15, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Believe them, Mae. I read a few other columns by people of a certain flavor who aren’t toeing the party line that people of their flavor are supposed to toe. They too say the same things, that the most vitriolic hatred spews forth from the left. I’ve seen it myself in the last election when a normally very humorous friend of mine got hopped up on Obama Kool-aid and sent me the most hate-filled email I have ever had the misfortune to read. His target? Fox News, Conservatives, Right-Wingers. Interjected among the hatred were accusations of intolerance, bigotry, racism, etc etc ad nauseum. In my email back to him I asked him quite politely to insert the word “homosexual” or “gay” into his email every place he had used “Conservative” etc, then read his email back to himself and ask himself who he thought he sounded like. He was quite taken aback.
HillBuzz I am sorry you all have to experience this. I’m not surprised in the slightest, having experienced it myself; peace, love, tolerance, and pink unicorns only extend from Today’s Left to the people who agree with them.
November 15, 2009 at 5:16 pm
What are conservatives? They are conservative…lol. They don’t normally go out in mass protesting and doing the the things the far-left does. Yes…there are those who are obnoxious but it’s 10 to 1.
Fox news is alone. The ONLY news show that does not fall at the feet of Oba-Mao and they can’t stand it. It annoys them like they’re in middle school or something. So when people on the far-left go into this “Oh those evil conservatives” it makes me laugh! “ooooo scary Christians…shiver” PUHLEZE.
November 15, 2009 at 2:15 pm
I posted this yesterday in the President Bush thread …. but it seems appropriate here as well. NO ONE should be subjected to the kind of viciousness and hatred that you have endured due to your opinions, no matter what your opinions are.
What concerns me is that more and more any dissent with President Obama and the Liberal platform is slowly being redefined as “hate speech.”
November 15, 2009 at 2:40 pm
You’re right, Ten.
I have a friend who is very, very far left, and he literally reinforces and believes EVERY political stereotype. And he is not joking. I met him in a politics class in college, and we still talk. He’s called me a racist b/c I stated that Michelle Obama was not a beautiful woman like the press always gushes, and said I “must not like strong women” but that I like “Republican Stepford Wives”–note the irony of the sexism in that statement. He’s called me a racist because I want people to immigrate to the US LEGALLY. He nearly had a stroke and hit the floor when I told him I didn’t believe in God–b/c you know, every single Conservative is a Bible-thumping Jesus freak. Oh, I am also a war-monger, b/c I believe our national security and our country is worth fighting for and defending.
It is almost comical how stereotypical he is.
November 15, 2009 at 3:05 pm
And scary … people like that scare me!
November 15, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Me too. Totally. And something else he does that I HATE and is so hypocritical: he freely uses derogatory slurs that I won’t even type. Like the “r” word, the “f” word–[not F--k, I drop F--k constantly]. Just nasty slurs that he would crucify someone else for saying, yet he gets away them. He projects so much, it’s disturbing.
November 15, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Nic, if this person is your “friend,” you need to look up the definition of Friend in the dictionary and, after having done so, dump this jackass and start over with people who admire and respect you, not denigrate you and call you names. Life’s way to short to put up with that nonsense. (Frankly, he sounds as if he has a severe anger problem. Be careful.)
November 15, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Aww, thanks for looking out for me, Cal. Granny :]
You don’t have to worry–we don’t even live in the same state anymore, so I never actually see him, and I’ve learned to handle him quite well: I don’t let him bring up politics anymore. Ever. And if he does, I just hang up. We talk friends, family, and mostly baseball.
He is definitely unhinged on the political front, so I don’t indulge him. He really is very close-minded, yet fancies himself the opposite. He actually lives and works in D.C., so I pity his co-workers…unless he works in an echo chamber.
November 15, 2009 at 2:21 pm
If this helps, there was a poll on Facebook a month or so ago that asked “which group is more intolerant?” Liberals, Conservatives, Neither, Both.
55% said liberals, while the remaining 45 were split between the remainder.
What was the funniest wasn’t the poll, but the liberals posting on the poll, confused that they were viewed as anything but THE most non-judgmental people ever, to quote “I mean, we’re for minorities and the poor and etc etc” You get the picture.
Then folks started listing the people they were intolerant against. And horrifically, they didn’t deny it, instead defended “It’s OK to hate ______ (homeschoolers, gun owners, Southerners, Christians, Conservatives, Bush, Cheney, Palin, prayer, the bible, small town dwellers….. you get the picture) because they’re BAD!”
Nothing is more terrifying than a self-righteous bigot who believes whatever horror he unleashes, it’s OK, because he’s with the party that will ‘fix’ the bad.
I won’t induce Godwin’s Law, but, the similarities in the mindset is disturbing.
November 15, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Good points.
November 15, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Welcome to the Loyal Resistance, Friends and Allies. We share a love of liberty, devotion to the nation, and utter disdain for Lord Zero.
And now I have another reason to be happy about voting in the Democratic Primary in Virginia (as the Republican decision was already over). At least we voted for an opponent we respected, as opposed to the no-talent and less-experience fraud, and his Chicago machine. . .
November 15, 2009 at 2:23 pm
You guys have my deepest gratitude for providing a safe haven for me for over a year. For all those times when those criminals in my own party acted against every principle I held , I only needed to come over to this blog and then I would see your post calling them out for the very antics that I was getting ready to post on. I have noticed in the past few weeks that this blog has received many new positive posters from other sites. Obviously, many are learning what so many of us have known for awhile. You guys are really incredibly special and it sends a pain through my body when I read that someone has wished y’all be stricken with AIDS. There are sick, demented people in this world whose words are not to be validated. THEY JUST DO NOT MATTER IN LIFE.
On a separate note. I too was no fan of George Bush, but believe me compared to Obama…it was a lovefest!
November 15, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Guys, it is terrible that you are receiving these personal attacks. Rather than reading them yourselves, isn’t there a neutral someone who can keep track of who is sending the nastygrams? It is harmful to you physically and mentally to read such sewage. Don’t let the attacks hit the target, if you get my point.
November 15, 2009 at 2:53 pm
I have never ceased to be amazed by the reckless abandon with which the far left embraces hate and intolerance in the name of achieving whatever flavor-of-the-month goal they decide to pursue. So convinced are they of their own moral superiority (and of their oppositions’ inherent evil), simply nothing they do can be questioned or called to account for. Physical violence, vandalism, deceit, extortion, and theft are as justified to the American left as they are to radical Islam. The end justifies any means, and they’ve deluded themselves into believing they’re a bunch of Jean Valjeans, with a license to steal and the right to condemn the rest of us for calling them on it.
Like you guys at Hillbuzz, I’m a gay man living in Chicago, and foresaw Dr. Utopia’s ascension the first night the MSM slapped on their knee pads for the world’s largest BBBJ following his keynote address at the DNC. Very few people had him pegged the self-involved bullshit artist we now all know him to be, and I regret to say not only wasn’t I one of them, it wasn’t until 6 months ago that the scales finally fell from my eyes. C’est la vie. I can do nothing about the past, but I can most certainly alter my future.
To that end, I intend to do what I do best: piss people off, get in the way and in the end, I’ll win because when it comes to these amoral parasites, I really am the smartest guy in the room. This time, however, I won’t be content to just sit here and keep my mouth shut.
November 15, 2009 at 6:12 pm
There are a few of us, who are straight, and we have been introducing Hillbuzz to other sites, including Gay Patriot.
I am an outsider. I am a Catholic woman. I am Australian. I differ in principle over many of the gay rights issues, but I am learning from the guys at Hillbuzz and at Gay Patriot to see gays in a different light. I do not like the “in yer face type of gays” because they offend me.
Eric I am glad that you have also spoken up and that the scales have been removed from your eyes. Maybe there is hope after all, that in a lot of cases, when the penny drops that they will indeed turn on this usurper.
There is nothing more craven than seeing the POTUS bowing before his equals on the world stage.
My heart goes out to the young men at Hillbuzz because they display a certain honesty that is very rare. I enjoy reading Gay Patriot because of that same honesty.
What I do detest are the people who write all of this hate mail. I have received some of it because of my defense of Terri Schindler-Schiavo the woman who was legally murdered in a slow agonizing death by her estranged husband. Even years later these craven idiots will write things that shows that they have little in the way of mental capacity to understand what in fact happen, but because they are mentally deficient they parrot what they have been told by their masters.
Stand up, be strong, be proud of who you are, and do not be ashamed that you did not see the light until it was too late. Right now you can help the movement that will make a difference in the future.
November 16, 2009 at 4:50 am
Aussie, I love reading your posts, you are not an outsider when you participate in intelligent conversation..you are an insider. My hubby is aussie also, you folks are the salt of the earth.

I appreciate the fact that you guys are willing to give credit where credit is due. I used to be completely partisan, but gradually became aware that rank and file partisanship is what BOTH parties desire as a means of manipulating their voter base and preventing the necessity to actually STAND for something and be judged on their ideologies.
I feel strongly that I should give credit where credit is due. Bill Clinton balanced the budget. I may not agree with every detail of how it was done, and I it’s also necessary to acknowledge that Republican’s controlled Congress when it happened, but he signed it into law and deserves recognition for that. Just one example.
So again, thanks for the courage to stand up and acknowledge Bush for the things he did right. This is how we “win”. Slowly, by changing hearts and minds, one at a time.

i can’t remember exactly where i found the link to hillbuzz, but it was through the famous GWB post.
i hope i don’t sound too fawning (on the other hand, sounds like you boyz deserve some fawning after all the hate mail…) but reading through your posts the last few days has given me more a sense of possibility than i have had since obama won the democratic nomination.
thank you, thank you, thank you! this week, i’m heartened… and thanks to you, feeling that all the letter writing and phone calling (my senators and my congressman are on speed dial) is not futile.
i hope your donate button is getting clicked a lot!

Hillbuzz-
Your Conservative brothers and sisters–myself included–will stand with you against this bitter calumny and vitriol; do not let this pernicious tumor (the vituperative left) metastasize any more than it already has. To arms!

OT – Just got this from a friend. I haven’t verified it yet, though.
——————
Bet this will be better viewing than 60 Minutes Sunday night the 15th!!
It may be that Fox has been holding this information back due to the sensitivity of it and out of courtesy. But, Obama has taken on Fox and it appears they are ready to spill the ugly beans of truth about the background of this individual who has had an extremely radical past. I’m not going to miss it and I hope you won’t either. This should prove interesting!!
Fox news, is going to air an important documentary about Barack Obama Sunday night, 11/15/09, at 9 P M Eastern.should be 6p.m. Pacific
The report will go back to Obama’s earlier days, showing even then his close ties to radical Marxist professors, friends, spiritual advisers, etc. It will also reveal details about his ties to Rev. Wright for +20 years, i.e. how he was participating with this man, and not for the reasons he states! The report has uncovered more of Obama’s radical past and we will see things that no one in the media is willing to put out there. It will be a segment to remember. Mark your calendar and pass this on to everyone you know: Sunday night, 8 P M . CT ; 9 P M ET. Democrat or Republican, this report will open your eyes to how YOUR country is being sold down the road to Totalitarian Socialism. If you care about the direction of our country, pass this notice on to everyone you know…

This is why they hate Fox so much. And if you watch (and I do) almost every day Oba-Mao finds a reason to give a speech between 4-5pm to interrupt Glenn Beck….which is so immature and stupid. But it’s true.
November 15, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Bev,
I’ve noticed that, too. I thought maybe it was a coincidence at first, but it’s happened several times, and it always comes right smack-dab in the monologue. Beck has taken notice.
If this is Obama’s choosing, he seriously is childish and disturbed beyond imagination.
November 16, 2009 at 5:37 am
I’ve been getting that notice via Email for over a month now. So it may be referring to the documentary that Hannity did during the elections on Hannity’s America. It was mind blowing and aired several times to no avail. At that time, it was mostly conservative watching FOX, so the education was wasted and the war on FOX began throughout the internet.
Hannity exposed Obama’s background (including HI) with references, live interviews and chilling facts. Covered all of his corrupt connections, acquaintances, etc. Even at that time and with numerous interviews, no one really knew him in depth. It was like he always just passing by.
The tenacity and raw guts that it took to cover, report and air that info should have earned FOX a gold medal.
But they, as well as anyone who defends our liberties will always be assaulted by those on the left. If the my monitor didn’t have a screen, I would have been maimed during the elections.
Boyz, you are amazing in you sense of direction, balance and respect.

When Hillary decided to take the SoS position, I felt she was making a BIG mistake, because she would have little choice but to toe the party line.
Sadly, I do believe that on the issue of KSM trial in N.Y., this has come to pass:

Thanks for the link. Unbelievable, actually shocking and sad.
November 15, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Guys–I’m so sorry that you have become the target of those who hide behind the internet to spread vicious slanders. Just remember “Honi soit qui mal y pense,” and keep telling it like it is!!
November 15, 2009 at 5:00 pm
I found you through a link to your GWB post, which brought tears to my eyes by expressing so eloquently how many of us ex-Dems feel.
I was a lifelong liberal Democrat, and foolishly pro-Obama, until March, 2008 when I began to realize the truth about him. I was still extremely anti-Republican until Sarah Palin came along. I’ve been reading everything I can ever since, to educate myself and counter my long-held and misguided (stupid) beliefs.
You are my favorite new read – thank you for your insight, passion, intelligence and goodness. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing. You guys are the BEST!
November 15, 2009 at 5:06 pm
Y’all need to move. Chicago sounds horrible. Move down south where we hate everyone equal but we’re nice to your face so you won’t get your feelings hurt.
November 15, 2009 at 5:18 pm
The far left has control of the House and Senate and nearly all Committees. We MUST take them out in 2010. This country will be irreversibly wrecked if we don’t gain substantially more conservative seats in 2010. We have to do this in addition to the 2012 agenda.
Second, we have to build unity and I for one am willing to embrace the gay community and find common ground. I am convinced this can be done. I will tell you for sure that I, and I suspect most of the conservatives who have recently found your site, are appalled at the way you describe that you have been treated. I’m going to start by writing Michael Steele and my reps and asking them to start working on a common ground agenda. We can grow stronger together.
And, as always, we must keep up the phone calls and letters to our representatives at the state and national levels.
November 15, 2009 at 5:26 pm
I’m truly sorry that you’ve been on the receiving end of such a hateful reaction to something so simple to an expression of gratitude to a man who kept us safe under his watch.
Maybe, though, you’ll realize that republicans (and conservatives in general) are not actually sitting on their yachts drinking martinis while libs agitate over their politics. I would say that the majority of conservatives are like myself. Middle class folk who have reason to fear that political activism may put their family in harms way. I live in California and have two kids. Perhaps I could take an activist role, but I have a real fear of how that may bounce back on my family.
I have friend who is a Mormon who did work to get Prop 8 passed (I’m not anti-gay rights, for the record) and he has seen some scary backlash against him, and his church, because of his beliefs. It’s okay to express hate and violence against “intolerant” religious groups, even though the black community was also largely against gay marriage.
Libs pretty much see anyone who disagrees with their agenda as fair game– even to the extent that physical intimidation is a factor.
Personally, I think there are a lot more limousine liberals out there than yacht owning conservatives. I don’t think it’s a lack of desire to act that keeps conservatives at home. It’s fear. Just look at how Atty Gen Holder ignores voter intimidation at the poles. Who’s going to look out for us? SEUI can beat up a health-care protester and no one pays any attention.
I went to a local town hall meeting. and there were a bunch of libs bussed in from San Francisco. They had no problem at all with noisy, physical intimidation. There were a few conservative there who might have been more than happy to meet violence with violence. But the majority of the crowd just wanted their voices to be heard. But we have to watch our backs the whole time. It’s scary out there sometimes….
November 15, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Do yourself a favour and do the historical research on the Reconstruction period. The way in which the Democratic Party won control over the South was INTIMIDATION via the KKK.
November 15, 2009 at 7:45 pm
And yet the libs try to convince themselves that that KKK is nothing but a Southern Republican thing. They cannot (will not) acknowledge that the KKK was aligned with the Democrat party. And when you point that out to them they say “the old Democrats are now the Republicans…” They love to twist the facts around to suit themselves don’t they?
November 15, 2009 at 5:40 pm
I’m sorry people were mean to you. Those were horrible things to say. It almost makes me wonder if they are afraid their golden child is about to seriously disappoint them. (But hasn’t he already?)

Haters gon’ hate, HB. Fact of life. And yes — the left is far worse than any “Republican” or “Conservative” I’ve ever met.
I had my own experiences wearing a Sarah Palin for VP tee around Lakeview, and it was. not. pretty. Other “non-political” types would come up and apologize to me for OTHERS’ behavior (which was nice, honestly, because I got a lot of bullshit).
It’s repugnant.
November 15, 2009 at 6:39 pm
I’m a conservative, 46-year-old single mom. While I did not always agree with the Clintons I never believed they meant bad ill toward the country. I never feared their leadership. I felt secure. I felt safe. With Oba-Mao I do not feel safe. I do not feel secure. I do not think this president has a clue the gravity of the situation. It is a dangerous political game that is going on and the taxpayers and citizens of this country are going to pay the price. 2010 and 2012 cannot come fast enough…and I want that bumper sticker.
November 15, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Once again, great post – love, love, love you guys! Chins up, boyz; all of us conservatives have your backs.
I’d be willing to bet that there are some firms in the Chicago area that are owned by people who aren’t rabid Democrats – trust me, those are the firms that you want to attach yourselves to, because for most of them political loyalty doesn’t matter, as long as you do a good job. They won’t drop you just because you vote for the “other” candidate!

How incredibly self-indulgent and presumptuous! She may be a problem for the good ol boy network of the GOP but she’s most certainly NOT a problem for everyone else, too! She’s the breath of fresh air and honesty this country NEEDS!
Hmm … yeah, I guess that is a problem for the rest of those in Washington!
November 15, 2009 at 7:28 pm
HillBuzz:
Hang in there. I visited this site due to the W and Laura story. I have found a new site that really makes me feel great. When I left a comment on that story, I inadvertently clicked to have all the posted sent to my E-mail. I have welled up numerous times. I am glad I made that mistake.
I’m sorry for the vile comments you have received. I consider myself a conservative but not so much in social issues. My father served as Southern Baptist Minister for over forty years. I never asked about his feelings on gays but I was told by my mother a few years back when Dad was having by-pass surgery, that when he was first being interviewed for a church that the Pulpit Committee asked what he would do if blacks wanted to come to a sevice? He answered that he would be the wrong minister if that were an issue, He told them all would be welcome regardless. That was in 1964. I was never so proud of my Dad.
The truth is that the spirit of man is all that is important. It’s the only part to last through eternity. The body will return to dust.
You guys have great spirit, of that there is no doubt and you’re welcome at this transplanted southern redneck’s home in California at any time. Count me as one who stands with you!
November 15, 2009 at 7:35 pm
I am a conservative who reads your blog every day – great stuff. The hate (and violence)you have recently received is unfortunately typical of what conservatives on campus and elsewhere have been subjected to by the left for the past 20 years. You can read a great deal more about this and related matters in Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism”, which I strongly recommend to everyone on this thread.
November 15, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Dudes, all I can say is, this is why I left the left. I couldn’t stand being told that I had to think only as they said I should think, or I was “stupid” or “evil.”
November 15, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Stay strong, guys! Follow the truth and speak boldly. I’ll bet new horizons of work will appear for you, too, as a result of your stand for America here…
November 15, 2009 at 8:23 pm
I found your site after the Bush comments and have read it every day since. I love the posts and your take on it all. Thanks so much for standing up for what’s right and taking on the thug politics of Obama.
Although I was not a Hillary supporter, I do believe she is a true American and would consider voting for her in the future.
Keep up the good work. Dont let the thugs from the left get you down. You have many supporters out here in real America.

The TRUTH always prevails.
November 15, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Well gentlemen, hats off to you for speaking your opinion regardless of its popularity.
I am sorry that you have had to endure such hatred and ugliness. Like others have said, keep your heads up, but my suggestion is to also watch your back and document everything.
Bullies generally fall apart when the light is fully shined upon them. I enjoy your columns and while may not always agree with them, will argue to my death your right to publish your opinions, etc.
Thank you for your commentaries and keep up the writing and opinions!
November 15, 2009 at 11:06 pm
Guys, if you haven’t seen Penn Jillette’s piece on the “Party of Hate” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG6JYsm1GmM), you really need to watch it. He saw how things were a long time ago.
P.S. I’ve come to your blog quite a few times since the election (even missed you there for a few months). I’m sure you’d think I’m an incredibly strait-laced fuddy-duddy, but I appreciate you. I used to think Hillary was awful, but the grit she showed during the campaign totally changed my mind. I would have voted for her in the primary if I’d been eligible. I would have voted for her over McCain. As it was, I voted for Palin. Please continue fighting the good fight. We all need to stick together now.
November 16, 2009 at 1:49 am
I just wanted to thank you for being honest about the difference in responses you get between liberals and conservatives. Seeing as most of my friends are Democrats, they have a hard time believing me that being a Conservative who happens to be gay does not illicit hate from the right, but hate from the left and the gay community. It’s as if the Democratic party believes that they are the party of minorities, so if you try to be independent and deny them the voice of the minority, they destroy you. They make you feel inhuman.
As to the Clintons, I can’t say I was ever a big fan, (then again I was 16 when Clinton left office) but I have really come to respect Hillary Clinton. I was so upset when she accepted the position of Secretary of State because I wanted her in the Senate pushing against Obama. I may fundamentally disagree with her on issue, but I respect her. The problem is that there are fewer and fewer like her in the Democrat leadership, which is too bad. The party has digressed so much into a party of hate and anti-individual that I have come to see the party as almost an enemy.
November 16, 2009 at 1:50 am
Guys go ahead and publish those hate e-mails. I’d enjoy entering those addresses in several mailing lists that I am sure they would enjoy. lmao
November 16, 2009 at 6:49 am
Dear Boyz-
I have been reading your website forever-well before the primaries when Hillary still was a very viable candidate. I did and still do enjoy your postings- after Ace, yours is the next blog I read EVERY morning. As a retired military officer, I am a conservate, but am in full agreement on your gay marriage stance. It makes sense and I believe that every person has the right to live their own lifestyle as they see fit. As a Catholic, my issue IS with the word “marriage” but that’s a comment for another time. I love love LOVE that you support our military with such fervor- that is a topic that is obviously near and dear to my heart. I am truly sorry that you’re experiencing vitriol, hatred and retribution that affects your capacity to earn income. If you are able to do so, can you say what exactly it is that you folks do for living (pre-election backlash). I may be able to help out connecting you with folks who would love to hire such fierce AMERICANS and who do not give one rats ass concerning your sexual orientation or politics. Please let me know what I can do to help. I feel it is the least I can do to support your efforts. In my book, YOU guys are true patriots.
November 16, 2009 at 6:50 am
Dear Boyz-
Please disregard all the typos in my last post- it’s time to cut my nails!!!! haha
November 16, 2009 at 1:35 pm
God bless you dear, wonderful men.
I’m as socially conservative as they come, and I am simply blown away by the quality of character I’ve seen since I followed a link to your post on Bush.
I honor you for your courage, your honesty, and your patriotism.
If you’re ever in Charlotte, NC, this is one Christian who would be proud to shake your hands.
God bless you and keep you.

Speaking of trolls and hate messages, I couldn’t understand why the special education Yahoo! boards were filling up with Palin smears. We took a closer look, and sure enough, they were trolls. Members who joined a week ago, posted something bland from a sped headline, and then went sudden jihad.
They must have had dedicated Obots as there are thousands of groups and a hundred for each state almost yet no one was spared.
The trolls went into a frenzy during the debates. Often these people would be affiliated with a group or business that was counter to the very Yahoo! group they joined but would constantly stir the pot among members. When we called them out there would be silence.
Not everyone on the sped groups loved Palin and we rarely talk national politics or politics at all. But, as you can imagine, we all had a soft spot for Trigg and counted her and Cindy McCain’s (a sped teacher among her good deeds) a bright spot that might shine a positive light on the special needs community. But no positive mention went unanswered with hate.
After the election, Obots would show up again trying to get members to send hate emails to people who they claimed dissed Palin. They wanted to associate Sarah with the cult of personality ObamACORN has we speculated.
I confess, the experience got me to poke my head around more for political news and issue information. But even now, they have left many a flame war mentality. I am so sorry you have to hear such vile. Know that these people who would attack mothers, and some dads, who are trying to find help in difficulty raising a special needs child from isolation to bullying, have no soul. Again, I am sorry for the abuse directed toward you all. You are appreciated and dear.
