Sunday Open Thread: November 28th, 2010
What’s on your minds this Sunday?
Are people around you talking at all about “net neutrality” and Obama’s power grab to shut down the Internet, especially anyone critical of him?
Does the general public where you live have any idea what is going on?
Do you think the invasive TSA gropings and the horror show that’s caused is really a cover for this Internet power grab?
The Left uses distraction and psy-ops to great effect…could THIS be what they were really up to?

Lori Byrd over at BigHollywood has a GREAT POST about tomorrow’s SP’s Alaska show:
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/lbyrd/2010/11/27/sneak-peek-meet-the-extended-family-on-tomorrow-nights-sarah-palins-alaska/
“The episode shows the Palin side of the family (5 generations) and what a big part of their lives fishing is. Willow celebrates her sweet sixteen birthday with a family party at her great grandmother’s house. The most powerful moments in the episode though focus on Trig and his teenage cousin Matthew who both have Down syndrome.
“Sarah chokes up and tears up (and so did I) when talking about her visit with Matthew because it gives her a look at Trig in ten years. She says she hopes that Trig will be embraced by others and treated just like the other kids and talks about how Trig is the heart of her family and how much he teaches them all. This is an emotional side of Sarah Palin that her fans have not seen — at least not to this extent.”
Will be watching with a box of Kleenex by my side.

Quote:
“Liberals and establishment politicians of all parties seem to have a special venom for the former Governor of Alaska.
“If she is really so “unelectable” then why all the fuss? “Thou doth protest…”. If she is really so laughable, then why do the jokes about her keep falling flat?
“Could it be that they obsess about her for the psychological reason that they can’t stand the threat she poses to them?”
Another, terribly relevent quote:
“…from a GOP perspective, consultants use their experience with the apparatus to be hired by candidates to run their campaigns. How will they do that if someone climbed to the top on a different tree?”
“If she has outspoken gay supporters who don’t disagree with her stance that this is a Judeo Christian republic with a founding document that matters more than someone’s sexual preference, then how will the militant gays continue to relegate Christians to radical, homophobic, hating extremists?”
Does anyone else see this as a shout-out to HillBuzz?
All the objections to Sarah are starting to turn into background noise. She (a) is a commonsense conservative like me, and (b) is able to articulate her beliefs quite clearly.
All of the other Republican candidates are either a or b, but not both. For me, that’s a powerful motivation to vote for her.
She also seems to have been able to put her beliefs into action in Wasilla and in the state of Alaska. I was feeling positive vibes about her when she ran with McCain, and the vibes just keep getting stronger the more I see of her.
The attacks on Sarah Palin by the leftist stooges and Soros’s hired harlots of the media and the politcal bosses of both of our decadent political party establishments are are a very stale replay of the garbage hurled at Reagan. The vitriol aimed at Sarah is identical to the vituperatives and slanders suffered by Reagan or any charismatic conservative.
Both Reagan & Palin are/were ceaselessly smeared by the media, the elites, and the left as stupid, warmongers, hypocrites (Reagan had been divorced 20 years earlier, Sarah’s daughters are labeled immoral), their children relentlessly attacked, spouses belittled & dubbed brainless too)All conservatives are inevitably presented by the media and the ruling class pols as too unsophisticated to be president, hillbilly graduates of non-prestige schools, & of course inexperienced.
The left and the repubic’s cocktail party crowd always tell us who they fear politically and that is Sarah Palin as it was Reagan thirty plus years ago.
It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who gets up so early.
I’ve been noticing a trend in the news recently. It seems like both the left and the right are ramping up the Palin attacks. Not that the attacks ever subsided mind you but now more than ever.
The common theme with a lot of posters [I think they are all Romney employees] is the concerned-troll comments:
“She is a wonderful cheerleader for the Republicans. She should stay a cheerleader,” or, “I can’t stand the thought of all the attacks that will be dumped on her. Poor thing. She should not jump in the race.”
Please. Give me a frikking break. All the concern is so transparent.
First it was “Palin will be gone and forgotten by 2009″. That didn’t happen. Then it was “Quitting in Alaska, she is gone” That did not happen either.
Now is “She is having too much fun being a millionaire, she is not going to run…” Stay tuned!
Yep. I noticed that too. ” She’s a great gal for the GOP but not Presidential material” appears to be the talking point coming from the blue blood elitists.
Here’s a great post about the race carders being played . . .

How the HECK is showing ID to vote even remotely controversial? It’s. Just. Logic.

Hey, I’m a European. Do you think you can ape the obnoxious lefty thing of “well, they do it in Europe, so we’re legally obliged to do the same thing”.
“well, they do it in Europe, so we’re legally obliged to do the same thing”.
And Panama and Mexico…
Showing ID is a gross human rights violation. However, allowing TSA strangers at the airport to grope and scan you is simply an inconvenience American’s need to understand.
You share my dad’s wit. Sometimes I have to do a double-take when he says things to me.
Outside of the people who visit that information page I run on facebook, most people neither know nor care about the internet grabs, and they are giving the standard issue liberal talking points to defend their zombiemessiah Obama. You’re still “racist” if you criticize him or raise issue with the insane way we are ALLOWING islamic sharia to creep into our lives.
I put together a big post yesterday about some of the things that are on my mind over at my blog, I hope you’ll check it out:

I hope you all have a terrific Sunday.
H and I are getting a tree this year. We have held off for over 10 years due to having adopted the most evil, Christmas tree-slaying cat ever to walk the earth. I know that the cat will be in the tree no matter how I rig the situation, and I am just going to have to accept it and make accomodations. No tinsel, no breakables, no un-supervised lights. Ornament hooks twisted around the branches, and solid anchoring to the wall with hooks and filament. This cat has grinched her last Christmas.
Ha! Too funny.
The grocery store here has a really cute Christmas display. They hung their tree upside down from the ceiling. There are presents up there too. Down at ground level they’ve displayed all their wine and chocolates. The upside down tree makes me smile every time I see it.

I just read that piece, WOW. Great read. Thanks for posting.

Have you noticed that during the 8 years of GWB North Korea was relatively silent? Even with two costly wars going on and Dubya wothout knowing what to do, the North Koreans did not want to provoke our president.
Now they are attacking South Korea and killing people playing with this coward president Obama.
Next is Admadinejah’s turn and believe me, this is what will cost this idiot the presidency, not the economy.
Hillary lovers are still trying to get her to challenge the False Messiah. Even there is a Facebook page. Stay tuned…
In fairness to Obama, I think this has more to do with internal tensions than his undoubted weakness.
There’s a bit of a leadership vacuum coming up soon in North Korea.
Folkzz,
Better wake up from the Chris Christie stupor. See how he mocked our Sarah on national television. This man is not a conservative. This fat ass is a thug. Stop pushing this idiot! This guy is a Romney-Bush-Massachussets type of Republican.
I saw that too, very disappointing.

This site we can see all the seats the GOP gained in both houses of the state legislator.
Only Delaware, California, Hawaii Republicans didn’t make gains. New Republicans in the state house will be a breeding ground of talant in the Republican Party.
I’m dubbing Michelle O the Queen of HAMelot, in response to democrats’ disappointment that the current White House isn’t a reenactment of the Kennedy White House. She has to ham it up to pretend she’s one of us (wearing her $700 scarves to feed the poor); their whole administration is based on illusions, lies and bullying, yet they pretend to be changing society because of their concern for it rather than their love of power and arrogance. It must be exhausting, being them. http://tinyurl.com/2axn3gd

I get the same response. A lot of people just don’t want to know. If it’s controversial, in any way, they don’t want to talk about it.
My sister even told me the other day…I don’t know anything about politics and I don’t care. Politics isn’t really my thing.
There’s this stigma against politics that keeps a lot of people from getting involved. Maybe we need a knew buzzword (no pun intended) that people can relate to more.
It’s people like your sister who elect people like Obama because they have no idea what his politics are, but the media says he’s the “cool” candidate, and besides, it’s like, soooo not racist to vote for the black guy so they can all feel morally superior to those of us who DO bother to understand and vote the issues.
Was in a bookstore at the local mall this afternoon. Saw a calendar . . . all 12 months of 2011 devoted to . . . Obama. (BARF!) The caption on the front of the calendar was this: “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
Piss on that!
I think Jimmy Buffett’s assessment was more accurate:

Leslie Nielson Died today at age 84.

Man A: Leslie Nielson is dead? Surely, you can’t be serious.
Man B: I’m totally serious, And stop calling me Shirley.
In all seriousness, I hope Leslie hanging out with the angels, he brought a lot of laughs to a lotta people.
