Worst. President. In. History. And it's all Bush's fault.
Michele Bachmann is wonderful.
We could listen to her all day.
Can’t wait for Speaker Bachmann to take up the gavel.
QUESTION: If Democrats don't want to hold Town Hall Meetings this summer, what would happen if citizens just held them anyway, whether Democrats wanted to come or not?
If you can't get a real person to show up to or star in something, just use a puppet or a cardboard cutout. With most members of Congress, no one will even know the difference.
In the 2008 primaries, because of the idiocy of the DNC, candidates were not allowed to campaign in Florida or Michigan, with appearances in Florida especially verboten. So, one of the trips we made for Hillary Clinton’s campaign was to Ft. Meyers, Naples, and other cities in Florida where we carried a cardboard cutout of Hillary around town, asking Floridians to vote for her — which they did, in droves, giving her the state by a healthy margin (that the DNC negated completely at the May 31st Rules & Bylaws Committee Meeting…aka, the Day the Party Died for us).
So, Democrats didn’t want something to happen — ie, Hillary Clinton campaigning in Florida — but her supporters found a way to make this happen anyway, party be damned.
We’ve all heard the Democrats don’t want Town Hall Meetings held this summer, because they don’t want to be berated by voters who are upset with what Democrats have been doing to the country in The Golden Age of Hope and Change.
Who gives them the right to decide whether Town Halls are held or not?
What would happen if citizens held the Town Hall Meetings anyway, invited the Democrats, and if those cowards don’t deign to show up, why can’t the citizens just stand cardboard cutouts of these people in the room and berate them by proxy?
What would be fun, too, and would make the Democrats look especially foolish, would be to create puppets of these people that look enough like them, and act as stupidly as they do, and have puppeteers speak for them based on things these actual politicians have said in public.
We bet, after a week of this, and enough YouTube videos getting out, that Democrats would suddenly want to attend Town Hall Meetings where they can speak for themselves, instead of having puppets or cardboard cutouts do it for them.
In Chicago, there’s a comedy team called Scooty & JoJo that often uses Muppet-style puppets in their shows when they can’t find enough actors to play all the parts, and the Muppets are made fairly cheaply, from what we understand, through some company online. It seems you can get them to look pretty much like anything you want…so puppets could be made for all Democrats in Congress.
And if they don’t show up to a Town Hall Meeting, there on the dais, behind a tablecloth, will be a puppet version of them, taking questions from voters, and looking as ridiculous as possible.
The #1 way to defeat the Left is through ridicule.
And we don’t see how even the Leftist controlled Media can resist showing footage of a puppet Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Patrick Murphy, or other Democrat luminaries taking heat from voters. There’s even a good chance someone would get so mad as to actually rip the stuffing out of these puppets or toss them to dogs or something.
Could be hilarious.
You do realize, in the end, that Israel's going to win, right?
“President” Obama continues to attack Israel, more and more each day, now throwing his lot in with the rogue’s gallery of antisemites that constitutes the United Nations, demanding an investigation into Israel for daring to defend itself against the importation of weapons into its country by Muslim nations hellbent on its destruction.
We can’t help but think back to something Sr. Therese Marie said in AP history class over fifteen years ago now, when we were learning about all the wars Muslims have waged against Israel, and marveling at Israel’s resilience and awesome ability to kick Islam’s sorry ass nine ways to Sunday. When pressed by a student on whether Israel would always win these fights, or if one day Muslims would succeed in destroying her, Sr. Therese Marie said, without pause or equivocation, “No, Israel will win. The Israelis will always win. They are the side of good up against evil, and evil won’t win at the end of the day”.
We truly do believe this.
We also think a major war is coming that will pit the Muslim world against Israel, perhaps led by Iran, and in the end the Ayatollahs will deeply regret instigating this, as we don’t believe Israel will allow the Islamic Republic of Crazy to exist when the dust settles. Israel will do to Iran what the US should have done years ago, and usher in a regime change. If there’s any luck in the world, Israel will do the same thing to Lebanon, Syria, Lybia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and every other Muslim nation. All of their governments deserve toppling and, frankly, need to be knocked back to the stone age militarily, economically, and institutionally. We would add culturally and socially, but these lunatics are already there.
Israel will indeed win, even if she doesn’t have the United States as the ally we should naturally be for her.
Democrats are truly going to come down on the wrong side of history and fate in this under Obama — and there will be Hell to pay for them. Though Liberals and the Left may hate Israel, the vast majority in this country love our tried and true friend, and siding against Israel the way Obama is so keen on doing will only serve to further sever whatever ties are holding many out there to the Democrat Party.
You side against Israel, you side against true Americans.
You do that, and you better abandon any hope you have in getting those voters back.
"They haz ice creams in South Africa? I'm there!," says Vice President/Sheriff Joe Biden
"What oil spill disaster? I'm at the World Cup, biatches".
We don’t believe it’s appropriate for US tax payers to pay for the Biden family to travel to South Africa for the World Cup soccer matches.
It would have been appropriate to send Biden to the funeral of Poland’s president, first lady, top generals, and other high ranking officials after the horrific plane crash that took their lives in Russia earlier this year — but the Obama Administration felt that wasn’t a priority, and used the excuse that “the air is too dusty” for planes to travel to Europe on this mission.
Sheriff Biden and his lovely wife Jill, as well as whichever little Bidens are in tow, want to eat ice cream in South Africa and watch a game that 95% of Americans couldn’t care less about…FUEL THE PLANES, DISPATCH THE ENTOURAGE!
The priorities of this White House are truly sickening.
In an article about state dinners in Vanity Fair a month or so ago, there was a description of how the Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower administrations handled entertaining and perceptions of extravagance during economically poor times and when our nation was at war. None of these presidents believed it was appropriate to hold lavish state dinners, extravagant parties, or take luxury holidays while Americans were suffering at home and abroad.
The people we have in the White House — and the Naval Observatory — are a far cry from those who understood the meaning of the world “appropriate”.
We have a US Ambassador in South Africa whose job it is to represent the United States in that country, for all intents and purposes. For any official functions pertaining to soccer games, this Ambassador could have sufficed. There is no reason or excuse for the Bidens to be living it up, and eating everyone’s ice cream, in South Africa this weekend. None. Zilch.
Though he is almost completely worthless in all senses of the word, we believe Biden SHOULD be roaming the Gulf states nonstop, in his role of “waste-cutting Sheriff” that he was supposed to take on regarding the Trillion Dollar Obama-Stimulus from 2009. It was to be Biden’s job to make sure none of that money was wasted. Apparently, he’s forgotten about that, distracted by ice cream again.
Ice cream is to Joe Biden what Kal Penn is to the current “president”.
Delicious, apparently.
MUST READ: Robin of Berkeley's analysis of "president" Obama as a possible schizotypal disorder case.
You must read this article from Robin of Berkeley, analyzing “president” Obama’s bizarre behavior and alien way of processing emotions and information.
There are so many things wrong with this man, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually that it should be no wonder to anyone that the Media, DNC, and ACORN/Union machine went to such great lengths to keep his personal history and true identity such a secret from voters…and maintain this embargo on his past to this day.
His admitted and chronic drug abuse.
The things pederast Frank Marshall did to him on unsupervised visits arranged by his grandfather in Hawaii.
His Islamic indoctrination in Indonesian schools.
Sitting in Jeremiah Wright’s pews for decades, while spending as much time as he could in the salon of William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
The current “president” of the United States is a seriously disturbed, troubled, and unbalanced man who has benefitted greatly from the Media’s unwillingness to turn a curious, let alone critical, eye his way. He is the figurehead and the symbol these people wanted, straight out of central casting, so admitting there’s something seriously wrong with him, mentally, would be admitting the Media itself was insane for pushing his candidacy and propping up his presidency.
The one thing Robin of Berkeley does not touch on is Obama’s Parkinsons’, which we believe firmly he has — and we believe his heavy cocaine use, documented in Dreams of My Father, contributed greatly to.
The Parkinsons’ explains some of the things schizotypal disorder doesn’t, and together they give a full picture of the fey, dithering, indecisive, lackadaisical “man” who believes himself to be a demigod “Lightbringer”, yet can’t bring himself to deliver any of his many promises, let alone handle day to day pressing matters in the office he sought and won.
AMAZING: Rolling Stone actually calls out their Lightbringer for his gross incompetence in handling the Gulf Oil Disaster
Read this Rolling Stone piece, “The Spill, the Scandal, and the President”.
If you recall, Rolling Stone ran the most hagiographic depiction of “president” Obama that we’ve ever seen, that image of him airbrushed to look like a demigod, with clear blue sky behind him, proclaiming him to be “The Lightbringer”.
Whatever respect Rolling Stone had was lost for many at that point.
Well, they’ve dialed back the supplication since…and this article above hammers “The One” for his gross incompetence and alien way of processing the greatest disaster to hit the Gulf states.
It highlights his only passion in life: the zeal to keep from ever being responsible for anything, and avoiding all job requirements of the presidency that don’t involve cocktail parties, dancing, movie stars, vacations, fancy dinners, and flying around on Air Force One to go to Broadway shows.
When even those who formerly bowed and scraped before him are now calling the affirmative action “president” the failure that he is, someone in the White House should take note that the cult of personality he cultivated and depends on is collapsing.
QUESTION: What businesses do you think will be gone by 2012?
Yesterday, we were walking on Halsted and someone asked us if we knew of a video store nearby and we had to stop and think for a moment, because all of the ones that used to be on the street closed down, years ago. There’s still a Blockbuster open not that far away from Boystown, but aside from that, all the little mom and pop shops have shuttered, and Hollywood Video went under some time ago.
We also read an article recently about the music industry collapsing some time next year or so, since digital music has made CDs obsolete and irrelevant. We know few people who’ve bought any sort of packaged music in years. The only time they do, in fact, is if they want to collect the album art for a particular artist, like Madonna or whomever. Aside from that, it’s downloads of music off iTunes, or it’s rocking out to videos on YouTube for free. The days of buying CDs are long gone.
We’re wondering what other businesses you think could be gone by the next presidential election.
What are you noticing in your own communities?
In Chicago, we’re seeing the demise of a lot of home decor shops, as people cut back on their spending and stop buying nicknacks and clutter for their homes. We’ve also seen a lot of overpriced art and clothing shops fail, as people start focusing on necessities and not extravagances. The big chocolate lounge craze that hit the city a few years ago is over, too, with these shops dwindling. The cupcakeries are still going strong, though…much to our surprise…with none of the ones in Chicago closing yet.
Dog bakeries still seem like a gold mine, too.
What do you think will be the safest bet for successful small businesses in the next few years…and which businesses do you think are most likely to fail?
How else is our nation changing in small ways that we might not notice until some things are almost totally gone, like those video stores that just disappeared as RedBox, NetFlix, and online movie viewing replaced them?
