Oh, wondering who’s advising Hillary Clinton. A better advised person would not ask who painted that picture of Our Lady of Guadalope.
So . . . “hie thee” to the newest website, “Fox Nation.” (www.TheFoxNation.com)
Debuted today and this clip already has 320 comments! “Rush Says Hillary Twice the Man Obama Is.”

I am from Fargo, North Dakota and wanted to share these pictures with you of the flood.
http://www.boston.com:80/bigpicture/2009/03/red_river_flooding.html
Gosh – I didn’t see any pictures of “victims” standing around waiting for FEMA to rescue them. Must of missed that.
Fae:
I’ve been praying for you guys every night. I was up in North Dakota Feb 13 and 14 on the airforce bases.
North Dakotans are the toughest folks in this country, and they WILL prevail over this flood.
Hang in there, Fae!
Where is the response from FEMA and Giggles? Oh yeah, I forgot; these are rugged individualists who can take care of themselves. . .
Fae: Sending prayers and positive vibes continually. I hope you won’t think me rude if I compliment the photographer (you?) on her excellent composition skills.
Another compliment definitely in order is with respect to the can-do nature of North Dakotans and Minnesotans. You are all amazing. God bless. Stay safe!
Where is the press on the valiant efforts of the people of Fargo. Fox did a wonderful story on the way the community all worked tirelessly together, but they have been ignored by MSM. Where are they with outrage that Obama is sitting in his office “monitoring” the situation. Isn’t this the same MSM who blasted Bush for doing a flyover? Where are the movie stars banding together to help the people suffering in ND and Mn? I hope you folks will all start screaming about the way the press has ignored this terrible disaster. My heart goes out to all of you.
Fae,
Thanks for the pictures.
I have a dear friend in Moorehead. She lives next to the river and have stacked over 5000 sand bags! They are dog tired.
I’ve been praying for all of you. Now if the weather would just cooperate!!!
The last big flood up there our Lutheran youth group helped clean up the aftermath. One of our teachers was born & raised there.
Our small town had a major flood in ’93. So I know how nasty & treacherous this disaster can be. Prayers, too!
I spent a few hours over the weekend setting up a website for the Big Sky TEA Party. Learned lots from my son the computer genius. Check out the “updated” drawing of the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party guests (courtesy of said son) – LOL! http://www.outragemt.com
Excellent website Auntie Lib, and the mad hatter is mad, as in crazy mad, not angry mad. Congrats on the great job you and your son did.
Well, well. With the firing of the GM car CEO Rick Wagoner, Obama has now crossed the line of big-time government intervention.
Interesting: the merger of Fiat with Chrysler. How ironic is it that we have a new company by virtue of Obama’s “fiat”??
Bet Ford is thanking their lucky stars they refused BO’s guvmint largesse!
They’re calling it a firing for effect, but he agreed to step down — “retire,” actually — in exchange for continued government help.
GM should never have been bailed out to begin with, but since they agreed to accept bailout money, this shouldn’t be surprising to anybody, least of all Wagoner.
BTW, he received a $20 million retirement deal, so he’s not exactly getting screwed.
After 33 years of service, the POTUS *asks* Wagoner to step aside??? BUT the govt doesn’t wanna run GM? The TOTUS must have been smokin’.
And UAW escapes unscathed.
As GB would say, “blood’s shootin’ outta my eyes”
AGAIN!!!!!
Shouldn’t a guy named “Wagoner” be the head of Jeep, not GM? I’m just sayin’….
I’m rolling my eyes!!!!!
Rapier-sharp wit as always, JD!
Fred Barnes on Fox News panel just said, “Fiat used to stand for “Fix-it-again-Tony”!
With Maobama in control of Chrysler-Fiat, and guaranteeing GM and Chrysler warranties, that will now mean “Fix It Again, Trotsky!”
Actress Angie Harmon tired of being called a racist by Hollyweirdos. Her statement:
“Here’s my problem with this, I’m just going to come out and say it. If I have anything to say against Obama it’s not because I’m a racist, it’s because I don’t like what he’s doing as President and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you’re called a racist,” Harmon told Tarts at Thursday’s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. “But it has nothing to do with it, I don’t care what color he is. I’m just not crazy about what he’s doing and I heard all about this, and he’s gonna do that and change and change, so okay … I’m still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we’ve got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that’s the thing I really don’t appreciate. If I’m going to disagree with my President, that doesn’t make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn’t make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous.”
Adding Angie to my list of Hollywood Heroes (it’s a short list. LOL)
She went on to praise Gov. Palin. Hey, y’know what? If they make a movie about the good Gov., Ms. Harmon bears more than a passing resemblance. Just sayin’!
If people know in their heart that they are not raciest, then they shouldn’t even bother to respond to the racist label. It’s a form of intimidation designed to shut people up. Acknowledging it, gives the intimidators power.
Personally speaking, there’s not a word I have ever said about the Obamas that I would say any differently if they were white. Race doesn’t matter to me.
I look at it this way. If people are too stupid to get what I’m saying and can only think race, then their opinion of me is irrelevant. I don’t waste energy worrying about what stupid people think about me.
I think it is a mistake for people in the public arena to even respond to this garbage. Then their response becomes the story. They shouldn’t let other people define their narrative.
I thought the same thing when some celebrities whined about being called unpatriotic. If you believe something, stand up for what you believe and don’t whine when people use labels to try to silence you.
I disagree. It is complacency that gives labels like this power, especially in today’s brain-dead media age.
If everyone in the USA spent 1 hour a day reading Hillbuzz, the country would be well on it’s way to being “informed”. But as it stands now, a good portion of the population formulates all their opinions on from what they see on TV or read in their favorite magazines.
People need to stand up to injustice in order to defeat it.
OK. Let me try a different approach.
Say you were in a courtroom pleading for mercy after causing a terrible accident. The one thing you would never do is refer to the other person as “the victim” or even “the person claiming harm”. You would never want to put words like “victim” or “harm” into the judge and jury’s heads.
When someone says they are not racist it is likely that the only thing people hear is the word racist. She may have been accused of being a racist 50 times yesterday, but the public didn’t hear that. All we read was “I’m not a racist”. I’m telling you it was not a good move.
Obama is making a lot of decisions that are bad for ALL Americans. We should hold him accountable on that ground. I don’t care how often other people say racist, the best way to counter is to simply refuse play their game. Many of these issues are too important to get sidetracked that way.
I see your point. But using your same analogy, if you refuse to testify at all, it has become commonplace for people to assume that means you’re guilty.
In a perfect world, OTHER high-profile would stand up to defend Angie Harmon, but since that doesn’t seem to be happening, someone has to say something.
This is the start of the liberal facists to limit free speech by calling it hate speech. Good for Ms. Harmon. I wish that she did not leave Law and Order.
Jack – I agree with you. I was really impressed by Ms. Harmon on Law and Order. I echo her sentiment as well. If I find Obama to be a disaster, don’t call me a racist. I have trillions of reasons to do so. Debate the incompetence, but leave the bullying out.
Or call me a racist. I really don’t care. I know what I know and won’t get into the desired argument about it. It sorta leaves the attacker with no place to go.
Angie’s all right! Here’s what she said about Governor Palin:
“People cannot look at this woman. I really think they’re afraid of her and her morals, ethics and values and the fact that she hangs on them. Is she the most experienced person in the world? But she was running to be the Vice President, so we then put the most inexperienced person as the President. That didn’t make any sense to me.”
Me neither, Angie.
Wishing I could immigrate….somewhere out of here…it’s getting too scary for me and my kids.
A little glimmer of hope……….Germans speak out against the Global New Deal. There is also a video of G20 protest march in UK.
Headlines on Drudge Last Week: MERKEL STOPS THE NEW DEAL
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/G20/article5993184.ece
Any deal on coordinated action to pump money into the world economy looks set to be delayed until a second G20 summit…
Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, last night led the assault on the prime minister’s “global new deal” for a $2 trillion-plus fiscal stimulus to end the recession. “I will not let anyone tell me that we must spend more money,” she said.
The Spanish finance minister, Pedro Solbes, also dismissed new cash being pledged at Thursday’s London summit….The attacks on Brown’s ambitions for the G20 to inject more money into the world economy come at the end of a week where the prime minister has travelled to three continents to build support for his proposals….
And…..
The assault by European Union leaders also represents A DEFEAT for President Barack Obama, who is DESPERATE for other big economies to copy his $800 billion stimulus plan”.
Awwwwwwww.
Let’s hope they do not pull it together.
Go, Angela Merkel!! At least one European leader has come down from the Kool Aid high, lets just hope she doesn’t become putty in the presence of our Dear Leader.
Europeans have been protesting over increased spending. Some demonstrations have gotten a little violent. Should be interesting to watch their disillusioned reaction when the Messiah walks over the Atlantic to their side of the pond.
I. Can’t. Wait.
Yeah..I don’t think she ever did like Obama…as far as her body language and such when he went there last summer…
Who knows, she may have been rooting for Hillary.
Smart, insightful lady. She should run for POTUS. Obviously origin of birth is no longer an issue.
Just remember that the Europeans don’t want freedom and liberty, they want more “spreading the wealth” around and a “fix” from their governments. They want all things perfect and wonderful all the time with no cost to them personally.
Go Angela! Liked her from the beginning and even more now.
Here are some funny bumper stickers:
~
Obama logo on left side and sticker says, “Because everyone deserves some of what you have worked hard for.”
~
“LOOK OUT TAXPAYERS
Obama thinks you’re rich”
~
“You think healthcare is expensive now
Just wait til it’s free!”
My favorite is this:
1.20.2013
Simple, subtle, and smart. So that means most Obots won’t get it and vandalize your car, haha!
I have one on my car that says: Honk if you will pay my mortgage.
So far, no takers!
BlueStateBilly: Angie Harmon is from my hometown and I think she’s AWESOME! She’s totally right. Before, you didn’t have to even give a reason for not liking a President. Now, you’re (say it with me Hillbuzz) RAAAAACCIIIIIIIIST!!!!!!
Hillbuzz, where can I find a list of local tea parties? I doubt my area is having one because, as one of my friends put it, my entire town IS a tea party. (Which is…not really an exageration!)
Maybe try Glenn Beck’s website. He had a HUGE roster of “We Surround You” locations and many of them had tea parties.
Go to http://www.glennbeck.com
Atlas shrugs has a link to Tea Parties around the country…Dallas is 4/15 5:30 – 9:00 pm at City Hall, changed to get Max TeeVee coverage…Good Luck!
http://taxdayteaparty.com/
Just click on your state.
thanks..we are having one the b15th.trying to go..
everyone if you can please support this..
we must get the message to government..
WE THE PEOPLE.ARE NOT HAPPY CAMPERS!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s so cool that she’s from your hometown. Mine tends to be the home of people we’d rather not advertise (Timothy McVeigh, Rick James, the Lakawanna Six terror cell, the Muslim guy who beheaded his wife…)
Oh well, at least we have Kirk Cameron’s wife Chelsea Noble, and The Goo Goo Dolls.
LOL Our claim to fame is fairly benign.
Kelly Clarkson.
Oh I love Kelly Clarkson! Not even my kind of music (I’m a 70s classic rock kinda guy) but I just love her voice and I like a lot of her songs. I’ve seen pictures of her riding her horse in her hometown, which is your hometown.
Billy, On a horse? That’s weird. I thought we sent all our horses’ asses to Washington.
LOL
Cool, you live in Burleson? My mother and brother (& family) all live in Crowley.
That is very cool. Our city limits touch; we are sooooo close. I love Burleson; but, it has grown so much, we are now thinking about moving farther out to the country… again.
Yeah, Burleson used to be “the sticks.” Now it has … well …. multiple Starbucks!
We have Donna Reed (classy lady, RIP) and the worthless James Hansen—he the global warning proponent.
My hometown in Dallas…Angie Harmon, Eryka Badu…we have a few. They may not be A-list Oscar winners but at least they’re respectable!
Thanks for the lists guys!
Kelly Clarkson’s from the Fort Worth side.

I’m concerned about the firing of the GM CEO. I’m really concerned we are starting to look like Russia…
I saw a comment about this on another site:
Now I can see Russia from my house, too.
OUCH!!!! LOVE IT!!!
On that note, just yesterday I had to inform an Obot friend that Palin did not say that, it was Tina Fey. She was shocked.
I’m constantly having to tell O-bots that Tina Fey said that “Russia from my house” line. Even to my own Mother! (sigh)
Of all the stupid things to stick, who would’ve thought so many Americans would be too dumb to tell a comedienne impersonating someone from the real person.
I’ve gotten to where if I’m embroiled in a political discussion, I’ll stop and say, “Trivia question: Who said ‘I can see Russia from my house?’” UNIVERSALLY, the Obots say Sarah Palin and I absolutely delight in correcting them.
The typical response is blinking and a look of surprise. They really are that clueless.
ROFLPIMP! Post of the day!
Maybe you should start wearing Depends when you’re reading HB.
Might not be a bad idea!
“Now, we can *all* see Russia from our house.”
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!
I wish I had a bumper sticker printing press. I could make a fortune.
OH, also, I think we should discuss the Obama’s upcoming European trip. Do we think Michelle will curtsy for the Queen? What do we think (or hope) the Browns will give the Obamas as gifts (if they do that on this trip)? What kind of faux pas will the Obamas inevitably commit in France, and will the MSM even mention it?
I’ll bet Mee-chelle expects Her Highness to courtsy to HER.
Oh, poor Queen Elizabeth! That should be quite a show: a 50+ year beloved reigning monarch vs. the bourgeois, etiquette meisers.
I was gonna say she’ll probably wipe her mouth with her sleeve, then I realized that’s why she’s not allowed to wear sleeves anymore.
Maybe that’s why–maybe she was constantly wiping her nose on her sleeve and Maobama forbid it.
Now it all makes sense!
For some reason, I don’t doubt it.
Maybe the Queen should give back the DVD’s that won’t play in the UK.
Oh, I’m laughing so hard!
How about coupons for fish & chips— redeemable only for the next ten days—at London’s lowest 1/2-star eatery??
I would like to know why he has to take such a large number of people with him. Like 200 secret service..6 doctors..500 total. Insane. What a huge piece of garbage those two are. But nothing is too good for the royal family.
I just hope TOTUS has a seat on the plane!!
“Coupons for fish & chips” BAHAHAHA!!!!
Nice one.
Do you think one of these geniuses will pack a converter for the UK? If not, TOTUS will blow.
Once again, PVG… Bwahahahaha!!!!
You threw me a soft ball, I couldn’t resist.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Coincidence that we have two Angelas today who get it:
* Angela Merkel, German chancellor
* Angela “Angie” Harmon, actress
Usually, these two would never be yoked together!
It’s Angie day!
Or Ahn-gah-lah as they say it in Germany!
For those who wish to thank Chancellor Merkel, here is her email address. I just sent her a note and it has not bounced back, so I am assuming the address is valid:
angela.merkel at bundestag.de
I just think it’s helpful to support and encourage those who speak out for fiscal restraint. I’m certain they get tons of complaints and perhaps some kind words from American citizens will make her day.
Whoops – I rescind that address. It did bounce back to my email. Sorry!
But, from her website, there is contact page to email her:

OBAMA LOOKING TO APPOINT RADICAL LEGAL PICK
You have to read this article. This is downright scary. This guy believes US judges should interpret the *US Constitution* according to *global legal norms*!!!!
http://www.nypost.com/seven/03302009/postopinion/opedcolumnists/obamas_most_perilous_legal_pick_161961.htm
I’m sure that the timing of this choice is intentionally slated for the G20 in order to slip it through when the focus is on G20. I wouldn’t even be surprised if the Ashley Biden drug story came out now to cover this as well.
Does Congress have to confirm this pick? If so, we need to mobilize on this one. I mean the guy believes in the authority of Sharia law to be practiced on US soil. He should be branded a traitor, not teaching at Yale and certainly not helping lead our country.
Oh, yeah. Obama is a far far left radical. He wants control of every aspect of our lives. He wants control of GM, our kids in school and civil service, the charitable, the census, the banks; he has already stepped over the line in private and public sectors. Now, the budget. He will control our energy and how we use and spend it, our money with much higher taxes, our health under the care of this out of control government. He is so dictatorial, as opposed to presidential, he even calls out private citizens like AIG personnel, Rush Limbuagh, Rick Waggoner of GM, and Dr. Basso ( the man that made the youtube videos “We The People Stimulus Package” and “The 2nd American Revolution”. So,considering the moves of Congress with the FCC, I can safely state that he also wants to control our speech. Most of the people are watching MSM, if anything at all, and are unaware that he is REMAKING our country into a socialist state as he said he would during his campaign. Either that, or the people do not understand what socialism, under a power seeking man such as he, does to a country and its people. Somehow, we must convince people to THINK.
I saw on the news this evening that the liberals are angry because he’s not left loon enough! Can you imagine.
Eric, You are right. Many of his appointments are extreme radicals. Do you remember seeing the video where Obama is saying he thinks the constitution should be changed? I am also concerned about judicial appointments.
No, I hadn’t heard of that video. Can you link it?
It was during an interview a couple of years before the campaign. It surfaced during the campaign. I don’t have it now; but I will look for it. I have to fix dinner now. As soon as I have time, I will try to find it. If anyone else remembers where it is, please post it.
“saying he thinks the constitution should be changed”
Eric, I WAS WRONG. I INFERRED THAT FROM THE VIDEO. He did not say he wanted to change the constitution. He was discussing the “imperfections” and “deep flaws” of the constitution in regards to people of slavery at the time. Interpret for yourself. This discussion frightened people who do not trust him because they fear a Constitutional Convention might be called, based on above reasoning, by untrustworthy people. They fear he and the congress might use this as an excuse for changing the constitution in damaging ways.
Forgot the link. Hold on. I’ll be back. lol
Eric, Here it is.

Hey TXMom,
What do you think of *Purple Heart* Kerry dismissing the need for the National Guard on the border?
Easy for him to say.
I wonder if he would accept my invitation to take him on tour of a few little border towns I know.
Well, what do we expect from “Count Chocula”??
Sooooo good that this man never ascended to the Presidency.
He DOES look like Count Chocula!
What a scream!
John Kerry is a fool. But hey, at least him and Pelosi are keeping Botox clinics alive during this recession.
I can see why Obama wants him
Koh has called America’s focus on the War on Terror “obsessive.” In 2004, he listed countries that flagrantly disregard international law — “most prominently, North Korea, Iraq, and our own country, the United States of America,” which he branded “the axis of disobedience.”
He has also accused President George Bush of abusing international law to justify the invasion of Iraq, comparing his “advocacy of unfettered presidential power” to President Richard Nixon’s. And that was the first Bush — Koh was attacking the 1991 operation to liberate Kuwait, four days after fighting began in Operation Desert Storm.
Koh has also praised the Nicaraguan Sandinistas’ use in the 1980s of the International Court of Justice to get Congress to stop funding the Contras. Imagine such international lawyering by rogue nations like Iran, Syria, North Korea and Venezuela today, and you can see the danger in Koh’s theories.
Koh, a self-described “activist,” would plainly promote his views aggressively once at State. He’s not likely to feel limited by the letter of the law — in 1994, he told The New Republic: “I’d rather have [former Supreme Court Justice Harry] Blackmun, who uses the wrong reasoning in Roe [v. Wade] to get the right results, and let other people figure out the right reasoning.”
How are his Turbo Tax skills?
I just assumed he doesn’t pay them, he isn’t fond of our Country and he is someone Obama picked

The Big Takeover
The global economic crisis isn’t about money – it’s about power. How Wall Street insiders are using the bailout to stage a revolution
MATT TAIBBIPosted Mar 19, 2009 12:49 PM
Check out this article, folks. I’m not a fan of Matt Taibbi’s–at all!–but it appears he might–might!–be awakening from his Kool-Aid-induced stupor. If so, that’s good, since he influences the youth vote.
I wish he’d train his skills on what ACORN, et al., perpetrated at the Dem caucuses, and maybe even take a clear look at the DNC’s RBC meeting travesty of democracy. Any threat to a fair vote harms us all.
GHho,I’ve been waiting patiently for some information, a book, a documentary, something that covers the travesty that was the primaries. Why is it there is nothing? I haven’t seen howobamagotelected, but I heard it’s mostly the general and Palin. I just read ‘A slobbering love affair’, and it’s all the GE. Golberg mentioned Hillary once, on page 171 and the book is 173 pages. I’m so ticked right now. I heard on the radio today that an acorn insider is spilling the beans, but it sounds like the GE too. WTF???????? I’ll write a damn book if I have to, but where are the professionals? Help!
http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/
Big News: In Stockbridge, Georgia citizens held a a Grand-Jury on March 28, 2009, and the people of Georgia returned an indictment against Obama. There is another one coming in Virginia. Sounds interesting, and I wonder what their next step will be.
I wonder what the indictment was for.
If you Google: Grandjury indictment in Stockbridge, GA, several articles come up re: this event. The citizens are trying to pursue the agenda that Obama is not a legitimate president due to his being foreign born and other issues of this kind.
I just got a call from Rasmussen so had a chance to rate Obama and Congress. I was cooking but, hey, I can stir a pot with one hand and punch buttons with the other.
In addition to rating Obama’s job so far and Congress, they asked a lot of questions about GM.
They asked if I thought the economy could survive without GM. Unfortunately they did not ask if I thought the economy could survive Obama and Congress. ‘
All in all, a good way to work off a little frustration while cooking dinner.
Fabulous! I check Rasmussen every morning. Hope to see your results in there tomorrow.
Good for you, FLMom!!!
We are a Gallup family, and every single poll we get—regardless of topic—always leads off with “what kind of job do you think the President is doing?”
Well!!!!! I’m itchin’ for the next poll to come. Because on the comment section at the end, I plan to ATTACH a comment!
Like I was telling my husband, the only thing that annoyed me was that the options were usually four choices from Excellent to Poor. I wanted something worse than Poor like Disastrous or Utterly Incompetent or Complete Failure. All the same it was a good stress reliever after a long hard day.
NeeNee,
In an interview on FOX:
General P. NOT interested in any political office. PERIOD!!!
Can you blame him???
Oh, s**t. Well, maybe when the nation sinks even lower he might reconsider. Or be able to suggest another military man who’s a traditionalist/pro USA.
There’s one bright spot. It seems the Brits are really *getting it* these days and it appears the seas aren’t rising and the sky isn’t falling after all. Whew…..that’s a load off. But it’s still a load

Here are a few chuckles for you guys. Recall Obama said that all warranties on the autos will be good; the government is guaranteeing the warranties.
http://www.marklevinshow.com/
Mark has on his site a Warranty Division with the phone number of the White House. On his show today he said if you are having car problems to be sure to call. Also, there is a place to e-mail Biden and Obama! Now, Mark did say to be very polite, now.
LOL
I wish I would learn to proof better. I need garlic.
Hey TXMom,
Speaking of the *great one* I bought his book today. Found it at Target, way on the far end of the aisle after passing at least 6 books on BO or MO.
That’s great! I am on a waiting list. I can’t purchase on the internet. My husband is very careful. No credit cards. No debit cards. So I am doomed to wait.
Did you guys see this on Drudge? Somehow I doubt they will offer the solution that would really make us feel better. A few resignations would be a good start.
The U.S. government is set to offer an online emotional rescue kit!
“Getting Through Tough Economic Times” will launch Tuesday with a media push across all platforms.
The site is meant to help people identify health concerns related to financial worries.
The feds will warn of depression, suicidal thinking and other serious mental illnesses. It will raise warning flags for: Persistent sadness/crying; Excessive anxiety; Lack of sleep/constant fatigue; Excessive irritability/anger.
The guide will be available starting at midnight at http://www.samhsa.gov/economy.
Instead of all this Gone With the Wind “Prissy” despair, how about laying in:
*Bottled water & other water reserves
*Pantry of canned food
*Supply of guns & ammo
*Wood-burning stove & supply of firewood &matches
*Keep extra gas propane bottles filled for cooking & grilling
*Lay-in prescription meds
*First Aid supplies
*”How to Dig a Latrine”
*Toilet paper, toilet paper
*Batteries
*Radio
*Baby wipes
*Heavy duty locks for your doors!
This was what I came up with in 5 minutes, sure I’m leaving more out but you get the picture! ALL OF US GET IT!
Speaking of Gone With the Wind, BO is a real “Ashley Wilkes” type isn’t he? Where are all the “Rhett Butlers”???
Frankly, they don’t give a damn!
BO is the model for all metro-sexuals, isn’t he? Rush questioned today if he’s ever changed a tire or knows how to read a tire pressure gauge.
Isn’t he the one that told us to inflate our tires to save gas????
Maybe he got that out of a fortune cookie.
You forgot the short-wave radio, the hand crank emergency radio and flashlights, candles, purified water, and two years of MREs.
I’d like to think I would have thought of those! That’s me—dash off a response in the heat of the moment!
Never mind; you got the H2O. Did you remember the plastic and duct tape? LOL I have that; but not much else. I am working on it. LOL
That’s my husband’s domain. He’s the commonsense half of our duo.
He says to tell you that if Iran nukes us, we need to add atropine shots. This from his Navy days . . .
Around this house I’m in charge of hurricane prep and other disasters. We have backup contingencies for just about everything.
Let’s see. You also want breathing masks. Wait. I’m thinking about 24. I’ll trade the crank radio and generator for Jack Bauer.
Nee nee, your list is, I’m sure, a hundred times better than the pap Maobama will put out.
good info on http://www.gunboards.com
scroll down to the survival board. Good Luck.
and how many millions will this cost? THAT causes ME stress
I can’t get the link to come up yet.
Doesn’t Big Nanny have better things to do than to wipe our noses all the time? What would we do without her? Oh. We might grow up and become independent! That’s an idea.
Thank you, FlMom
“The feds will warn of depression, suicidal thinking and other serious mental illnesses. It will raise warning flags for: Persistent sadness/crying; Excessive anxiety; Lack of sleep/constant fatigue; Excessive irritability/anger.”
In other words, anyone who recognizes that we have committed national suicide by electing this incompetent and/or committed Marxist is suspect.
Hmmm? Didn’t the UAW help put this unqualified fellow in the WH?

Looks like they’re trying to eliminate the ability of people to grow their own food- all under the auspices of “food safety”.
Hmmm- control manufacturing, now looking to control small farms and/or people’s ability to feed themselves.
So much for local produce, local farmer’s markets, etc. etc. etc.
Introduced by a piece shite from Ct. (DeLauro) whose husband is a lawyer for Monsanto, and who herself received 180k or so from Big Ag.
Is it the water in CT that makes their reps so stupefyingly foul?
This is ridiculous! At church we have an area where we can all share in each other’s harvest. These fresh fruits and veggies are, for some, all they can afford.
What’s to stop all of us from stashing a few vegies in our purses & making house calls to those in need? Are they gonna turn us in for providing them with food??
apparently, you can’t do that. No food banks, either.
if I’m not mistaken, according to the bill you can’t do that. Most definitely you can’t donate to food banks.
crap, that was me.
never mind, I’m losing it here.

TOWN HALL MEETINGS PACKED WITH OBAMA PLANTS
Here’s one change you can believe in: President Obama’s town hall meetings are carefully stacked with his political supporters.
While the online portion of last week’s town hall meeting was open to all comers, that was not the case for five of the participants the president called on in the East Room.
It appears they were carefully selected among 100 people in the audience. Indeed, the five are among Obama’s most ardent supporters. The Washington Post reports the group consisted of:
A member of the Service Employees International Union, which endorsed Obama.
A Virginia businessman who donated money to Obama’s 2008 campaign, as well as some $2,750 to Virginia Democrats last year, the Post reports.
A member of the Democratic National Committee who also is active in Obama’s Organizing for America group. He even campaigned for Obama to turn out the Hispanic vote.
A Democrat who ran for a state delegate seat in Virginia before endorsing Obama’s candidacy in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star.
A leader of an American Federation of Teachers local in Philadelphia, who is also a member of the Facebook’s Pennsylvania for Obama page.
White House spokesman Nicholas S. Shapiro told the Post, “The White House reached out to a number of community groups, and the chamber of commerce and those groups invited their folks to come and participate.”
Shapiro did not indicate why only Obama supporters were called upon to ask questions in person. None of them mentioned their ties to Obama when they identified themselves, although one mentioned she was there “with my fellow nurses from SEIU.”
The White House declined to identify a sixth questioner, who gave her name only as “Elle.”
One questioner, Sergio Salmeron, told the Post he was invited to the event through an Organizing for America pledge drive.
“I got a call from this woman who has been working with me for the pledge drive,” he said. “You know, we’re trying to get support for the president’s agenda.”
The Atlantic.com has reported the president was not briefed on the questions in advance.
Poor TOTUS.
He did not need to be briefed. I am sure his staff had blackberries ready OR he scribbled all possible answers on his hands.

I just heard Rush discuss this item He says we are all being set up. That G20 participants have already discussed with each other and made deals. Our governments are always causing distractions. He said Obama would never attend the G20 if he thought he had a real battle on his hands. Obama is going over there and coming back looking like “he saved the day”. THEN he is coming right back here and take over the oil business and the healthcare.
I believe Ruah because, as he always tells us, he IS 99.99% correct all the time. L0L
Ruah? RUSH
