Today I humbly give thanks for President Barack Obama. No, seriously. Really. It’s not a joke.
Today, I ask you to join me in giving humble and sincere thanks for President Barack Obama.
While we’re at it, let’s be thankful for First Lady Michelle Antoinette Obama too (though we’ll stop short of being proud of her for the first time in our adult lives, or forgoing any pumpkin pie or sweet potato casserole today because Michelle says you shouldn’t have anything with Kool-Whip or marshmallows on it because she thinks you’re too fat (while demanding seconds and thirds for herself, no doubt, on her tireless crusade against other people’s obesity)).
I am thankful for the Obamas because they were a wake-up call that, prior to 2008, I didn’t realize the country so desperately needed.
I am thankful that Barack Obama’s rise to power caused the Democrat Party’s mask to slip, so that millions of Americans now see just how completely the Democrats are controlled by the Left and how bad this is for our nation.
Speaking as someone who used to be a Democrat (until May 31st, 2008), I’m thankful the new Obama-centric Democrat Party was so blatant and obvious in its goals to destroy this country…so that I was able to make the clear and reasoned choice to leave the party for good and have nothing to do with it ever again in my lifetime.
I’m thankful Barack Obama is so full of himself and so politically inept that he actually convinced Democrats to make their suicide pact to ram Obamacare through the Senate on Christmas Eve in 2009. Some of you out there might still not realize it, but that will be the moment that historians one day record as the beginning of the ultimate end for the Democrat Party. That’s when the entire ship of fools (and communists!) hit an iceberg and exposed themselves to their ultimate doom.
The Titanic took a while to sink…and the Democrat Party’s still ambling about…but the damage Obama and his acolytes have done to the party (and to the Left itself) is real and irreversible…even if it’s not obvious yet.
I’m thankful the disaster that is the Obama presidency has the potential to take down BOTH branches of the permanent political class…because the Cocktail Party GOP establishment long ago tied its own fate to the Left, by so aggressively seizing any and every opportunity to “go along to get along” and win praise from the media for being “bipartisan” (which is just another way of saying these Cocktail Party Republicans gleefully allowed the Left to do terrible things to our country legislatively in exchange for good press coverage and other perks in office).
Without Barack Obama, millions of people would still be Democrats today (myself included).
Without Barack Obama, the Left and Cocktail Party GOP establishment would not have revealed themselves to be the clear and present dangers to our country that they so truly are.
Without Barack Obama, the Tea Party would have never formed…and millions more Americans would never have gotten up off the couch to begin their individual involvements in politics.
There are a lot of things to be thankful for about Barack Obama beyond the fact that he’s not a twin.
Though the last few years have been rough…and the 2012 campaign to unseat him will be the nastiest and most difficult election season of our lifetimes…without Barack Obama everything that’s coming to a head now — when we’re here to deal with it — would have continued metastasizing under the radar, guaranteed to plague the next generation down the road anyway.
I’m thankful this is all happening now, while I can be a part of the Resistance and when you, wherever you are, can take part in defeating the Left and the Cocktail Party GOP establishment too.
I’m thankful that in shilling for Barack Obama so aggressively and so egregiously, the agenda-driven media has exposed itself as the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party that it’s always been. At last, there’s no denying it, so millions and millions of people are — FINALLY — turning off their TV sets and aggressively investigating the political world on their own (instead of believing what the idiot box tells them).
I’m thankful America’s greatest threats and enemies chose to manifest in this ill-conceived power grab with Barack Obama as their standard bearer.
It reminds me a lot of the movie Ghostbusters (which I am also thankful for, as it delights me to no end) where the would-be world-destroyer took the form of what it believed to be an unstoppable goliath…and instead ended up huge blobs of singed marshmallow fluff strewn about midtown Manhattan when it met a determined (and unexpected) Resistance.
The Left has sent it’s absolute worst at America under Barack Obama…and I am thankful for that…because it’s given Americans the opportunity to beat the living daylights out of the Left and exile these lunatics from the halls of power for a generation, beginning with the 2012 elections.
I hope you can relate to all of this at least a little.
Be thankful every day that Barack Obama is our President…because the Left overplayed its hand with this presidency.
It underestimated the Resistance.
It never counted on YOU.
For that I am so VERY THANKFUL.
Even Turkeys Hate the Media
What better way to start off your Thanksgiving than with a big hearty laugh. This video of a turkey chasing, stalking and taunting a reporter had me laughing so hard I almost peed my pants.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of the readers of Hillbuzz. I feel so grateful to be a part of Kevin’s crazy crew. I’m thankful for family, God, and the best country in the world. And I plan to fight like the dickens to keep it that way.
Many blessings to you all!
Now watch this video, and be sure to put down your coffee or other drinking devices.
What Are You Thankful For Today?
Thanksgiving is pretty low-key at Casa del Gee. Our family is scattered all over the dang place, so we tend to gather in little regional clumps instead of one big central assemblage.
So, what does Thanksgiving look like at your house? What are you thankful for today? What’s for dinner? Who’s coming? What’s your favorite dish? (Feel free to share recipes.)
And if you’re going to deep-fry a turkey, for God’s sake, watch Alton Brown’s cautionary tale about what happens when too much cooking oil comes in contact with a propane burner. (See above.) It’s a sight to behold.
“Amazing Ride” Ends for Barack’s Boyfriend, Reggie Love
H/T ABC "News"
As reported in a squishy, soft-focus “profile” on ABC “News”…
Amazing Ride Nears End for ‘First Brother’ Reggie Love
My God…which “ride” would that be? Unfortunate double entendre, anyone?
Love and Obama are also seasoned travel teammates. According to a group of researchers at ABC News, they have flown some 880,780 miles together since the start of the presidential campaign. When two people spend that much time together, they’re bound to get on each other’s nerves. So, what does Obama do that makes Love’s skin crawl?
“The thing that used to kill me is that the guy loves to ride around with the AC off in the summertime,” Love said. “And I get hot. I start sweating. And I’m like, it’s 80 degrees in this car. I’m going to pass out.”
Only when beads of sweat begin to roll down Love’s face will Obama relinquish his presidential powers and agree to use the air conditioner.
And this is supposed to be journalism. The Presidency of the United States of America has officially been downgraded to a b-rate reality show. Coming soon to Bravo!
I don’t give a damn whether the Narcissist-in-Chief is gay or bisexual. I honestly don’t give a damn. I don’t care what his religion is. But I care that he has apparently been involved in cover-ups about his Marxism, his homosexuality, his Muslim faith…I think that kind of thing used to be called a “blackmail risk.”
It would appear that the only way Barack Hussein Obama could get elected was to lie about the most basic facts of his identity.
HillBuzz Open Thread: November 23, 2011
What are your thoughts on the GOP debate?
What are people talking about around the water cooler?
What’s shakin’ where you are?
Advance Questions: CNN National Security Debate
As you know, HillBuzz.org has moles in deep cover working at many Democrat-Controlled Media outlets, so we’re often privy to advance drafts of the “gotcha” questions that will be hurled at GOP candidates during debates.
Security was extra-tight surrounding the CNN National Security debate, but our mole managed to leave these first-draft questions in a blind drop outside the World War II memorial for us to find.
Rick Perry. There’s a drug war raging along the southern border of Texas, with heavily-armed paramilitary forces invading Texas from the Mexican side. What are the three things you’d do…(snicker)…to stop the incursion. Three things (nudge fellow moderator). Can you remember three things? Just three. We’re asking you early in the debate, Mr. Perry. Try to focus. We’re doing everything we can to make you the Anti-Romney….throw us a bone, here.
Jon Huntsman, you have served as Ambassador to China for the Obama Administration, and clearly, you’ve done an excellent job, since China has yet to call our note. You have the international experience that every other Republican candidate lacks, since the rest of them—except for Mitt Romney, of course—are hayseed hicks from the sticks. Your hair and teeth are impeccable. Your family is stunning, you’re worth millions of dollars, and your tan looks remarkably life-like. And yet, you polled at 0.0% in the recent DesMoines Register poll of likely Iowa GOP Caucus participants. So tell me, Ambassador Huntsman, how can the average GOP voter in Iowa be so stupid? Why aren’t you the frontrunner, despite all the free publicity we’ve given you for the past four months? Take as much time as you need.
Mitt Romney, since we just gratuitously mentioned your name, you now have five minutes to talk down to the rest of the GOP contenders on stage. Let us know when you’re done, and we’ll ask you a follow-up “gotcha” question of your choice designed to make Rick Perry look bad.
Herman Cain, why are you even here? According to my notes, we in the Mainstream Media destroyed your candidacy weeks ago. (And if you say “999″ I will come up there and smack you.)
Michelle Bachmann, you serve on the House Intelligence Committee. Does that mean you went there to become intelligent? And don’t you agree, that compared to Mitt Romney, you’re far too short to be president, and besides, you’ll never be the kind of Fashion Icon that Michelle Obama is. [Note...M.B. to get two questions max--be sure to cut her off during follow-ups]
Governor Romney, what do you think of the debate so far? Did you get that list of “gotcha” questions we prepared for you to ask Rick Perry? How about the Edible Arrangement–we left out the pineapple, as you requested. And the ham. Did you get the Honey Baked Ham platter? Great. Five more minutes for you, Mr. Presi-…I mean, Mr. Romney.
Ron Paul, you were a Captain in the Air Force and a flight surgeon during Vietnam. Your top three sources of campaign funds are the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army and U.S. Navy. In fact, you receive more donations from active-duty military than all other candidates combined. How do you explain this, given your radical, fringe notion that U.S. troops should not be sent overseas without a Congressional Declaration of War, a declared mission, and the mandate to win? Isn’t this just proof that you secretly hate the military and have fooled those poor gullible saps into supporting you? How do you sleep at night?
Rick Santorum, you’ve really never broken 5% in the polls, but we need you here to split the pro-life vote and give Romney the nomination. We can’t think of anything to ask you, so we’ve agreed to ignore you the way we usually ignore Ron Paul. The receptionist will validate your parking on the way out.
Governor Romney, since we gratuitously mentioned your name, you get another five minutes to talk about anything that will make your competitors look bad.
Governor Perry, do you agree with Mitt Romney that the rest of this GOP field, besides Governor Huntsman, are a distraction from the real issues facing this country?
Governor Huntsman, how about you? Do you agree with Governor Romney that Romneycare is nothing to be ashamed of, since you were considering something similar in Utah?
Governor Romney, five minutes for you, sir, since we mentioned your name. And may I say that you are looking particularly presidential this evening. Lots of gravitas.
Mr. Cain, are you still here? Didn’t we ask you to validate Mr. Santorum’s parking?
“Ron Paul is more ‘pro-black Americans’ than Barack Obama”
The anti-Ron Paul hate mail has skyrocketed of late, which has encouraged Kevin DuJan and I to start a regular weekly Ron Paul segment on the Hillbuzz and Mrs. Fox show on Blog Talk Radio. More details to come.
Until then, here are some videos from a black guy who is fed up with the Democrat-controlled media’s attacks on Ron Paul and charges of raaaaaacism. It’s a video from a black man to other black people. The money quote is:
“Ron Paul is more ‘pro-black Americans’ than Barack Obama”
Whoa, Nellie! The times, they are a-changin’.
I would encourage anyone in the Anti-Obama Coalition to watch this video. There is a lot of AUTHENTIC hope in this two-part video…not the “hopeychange” bill of goods that Barack Hussein Obama (who is not a Muslim, and, technically, not even black, but is totally a Marxist) sold to the black electorate in 2008. The end of the second video is really powerful.
NSFW Warning–the F-bomb is dropped several times, as is the N-bomb.
CNN National Security Debate Watch Thread
CNN’s lead political anchor Wolf Blitzer will be moderating tonight’s GOP Candidates Debate from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. (ET), broadcast live from Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C.
The debate is presented by CNN, The Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), and will focus on national security, foreign policy and the economy.
In addition to Blitzer, Foreign policy experts from AEI and The Heritage Foundation will pose questions to the candidates. Candidates invited to participate are:
- Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann
- Businessman Herman Cain
- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich
- Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman
- Texas Rep. Dr. Ron Paul
- Texas Gov. Rick Perry
- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney
- Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum
Candidates shut out of the debate were Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, Former Governor of Louisiana Buddy Roemer, and these other declared candidates: Political Consultant & Gay Rights Activist Fred Karger, Andy Martin , Flight Attendant Tom Miller, Jimmy McMillan, Matt Snyder, and Businessman Vern Wuensche.
More details from NewsOnNews.com:
Live coverage from DAR Constitution Hall will begin the day before the debate, on Monday, Nov. 21, and continue through the post-debate programming on the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 22 to include anchors Wolf Blitzer, John King and Erin Burnett. CNN political analysts and contributors Paul Begala, Gloria Borger, Donna Brazile, David Frum, David Gergen, Ari Fleischer, and Dana Loesch will participate in coverage from the nation’s capital.
That is one incredible assortment of Leftists. I wonder what questions our friends at CNN will cook up for the candidates? I can’t wait to see what our mole is able to scrounge up for us.
UPDATE: A few observations…I can’t transcribe the debate, so I’m just going to jot some notes.
Newt Gingrich just got booed. Bizarre. Polite applause for everyone. Ron Paul may have had a bit more enthusiasm…but in general, this is going to be a Cocktail Party GOP crowd (it was invitation-only.)
8:32 p.m. I’m working late tonight and can only listen in with one ear. I’m disappointed that so many of these candidates are willing to shred the Bill of Rights. It’s chilling that so many of them think it’s fine that Barack Obama can, by himself, order the assassination of American citizens.
I think it’s an important discussion, of course. But foreign policy and national security will be something of a moot point once China calls our note and the economy collapses.
It’s (surprise) turning into the Mittens Romneycare and Jon Huntsman show. And what’s weird is that Huntsman is parroting Ron Paul’s positions. HMMMM.
Rick Santorum just looked into the camera and said, “I agree with Ron Paul.” I expect that he was anticipating some cheers from the Ron Paul folks…there was awkward polite clapping, because we Ron Paul folks are not so easily played. Awkward.
And as usual…mentioning Mittens gets Mittens a free 5-minute speech; mentioning Ron Paul gets you…uhm, thrown to a commercial break.
Sigh.
Please feel free to comment on the debate. I will have to watch the rest on replay…I have to get back to work. Unlike the Occupoopers, I don’t think anyone owes me a living.
HillBuzz Open Thread: November 22, 2011
I suspect it’s going to be a slow week at Buzzquarters as we all scatter to various ends of the country for Thanksgiving. We’ll do our best to stay on top of comment moderation, but you may notice delays in approvals.
So, what’s going on in your neck of the woods? What are today’s big stories?
200 Pounds of Occupoop.
The city of Santa Cruz had to pick up 200 pounds of human feces left behind by the occupiers. Yes, you heard me. Apparently, humans will pick up their pet’s poop, but not their own.
I know this is a disgusting story, but I think it’s important to see, firsthand, just how low life these occupy people really are. When you have to call in the health department to check for ringworm and scabies, and the city has to pick up human poo, then your “cause” loses all credibility.
The media mocked and taunted the tea party as “terrorists” and “racists”. Why isn’t the occupy movement getting the same scrutiny? They are an embarrassment to law and order. They are symbolic of everything that is selfish and narcissistic in this country.
The only “movement” that occupy represents is the one that’s laying on a city street.
What do you guys think? I know that I am thoroughly disgusted.
You can read all about it HERE.
