How Bad Is It for the Obamas? Booed, Flipped Off and Told to Quit
by Tammy on November 22, 2011**This is a Lounge/Open Thread. Feel free to post links** How soon did the American people know they had been conned by the Obama election? The first sign of the awakening was July 2009 when this now iconic poster of Obama as the Joker first surfaced in Los Angeles (of all places!). This poster was the first glitch in the Obamas carefully managed stagecraft meant to make dissent and critique of Obama too dangerous to put forward. So, an anonymous poster that said it all was the first sign that Americans had already realized we had been duped. Now the dissent is not anonymous, more specific and damning. Ranging from Democratic pollsters, to the normally genuflecting MSM, to Americans at...

Reading Assignment: The Electoral College
by Tammy on October 25, 2011With the news that the "abolish the Electoral College" meme is rearing its head again and being pushed by the Establishment, I thought it might be helpful for everyone to catch up on the importance of the EC and how and why it was established. To that end, here is your Reading Assignment for this week...

“Fair Elections Now Act”: H.R. 6116 – Public Funding
by Pat_S on September 25, 2010A post by Pat The same day the DISCLOSE Act failed, the Fair Elections Now Act, H.R. 6116, was passed out of committee. (5-2 no Republican support.) This bill is about public campaign funding. Candidates who opt for public funding would receive 4:1 matching funds for campaign contributions of $100 or less. They will also receive a 20% discount off the lowest broadcast rates. Their PAC money would be limited to $100 per individual per year. The candidate would have to raise $50,000 from within his own community to qualify. Matching funds are for in-state contributions only. The goal is to set up an alternative system of financing Congressional campaigns. Fair Elections funding would be available for primary and run-off...

8-yr Old Logan Fisher Takes on Crime
by Pat_S on July 8, 2010A post by Pat “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!!” Well, he didn’t put it exactly like that but eight-year old Logan Fisher was very angry after the family residence was burglarized. For all the adults who sit around complaining about things but do nothing, check out this kid. Boy, 8, Takes Crime-Fighting Plea To City Council “(Police) could drive the SWAT vehicle around, or they could pull people over even if they were only a little bit above the limit, because they could check them for wants or warrants,” he said. “If we clean up more crime, we get a more aggressive reputation. Then the criminals will pack up and leave.” I’m...

Tom Harkin on Senate Health Bill – “Only the beginning”
by Pat_S on December 19, 2009A post by Pat Inevitably, Sen. Nelson would go along. Nelson, as Sen. Burr (R-NC) noted, played “The Price is Right”. The details hardly matter. Same old, same old. Reid, Dodd, Harkin and Baucus ran to the podium to congratulate themselves on their marvelous creation that will save money, improve health and reduce the deficit. Chris Dodd took note that this is a long sought dream of Progressives since the time of FDR. Dodd actually declared that health care is now a right. He spoke about this health care bill as delivering on FDR’s vision of Freedom of Fear. In case with all the Senatorial bragging Americans got the wrong idea about what the mighty have delivered, Dodd clarified that...

Tea Party Movement Gaining Steam
by Pat_S on December 12, 2009A post by Pat Eric Odom, organizer and spokesman for the Tea Party movement, was interviewed on Fox News today about the movement’s future. BW: What does the Tea Party want? What are they looking for as they continue to go forward? Obviously, you look at the poll that’s encouraging that some people are sort of glomming on to what you stand for? EO: It really is simple. Our government, Congress, Senate, is elected and gives an oath to uphold the Constitution. Right now, through legislation that’s being proposed, they’re not doing what they’re suppose to do to uphold the Constitution. Also, what’s interesting about a lot of the polls including the one you cited earlier on the show, it’s...

Rep. Chaffetz: “I didn’t put any crap in the bill”
by Pat_S on December 10, 2009A post by Pat Now there’s a quote I can hold as close to my heart as, “Give me liberty or give me death”. A million dollars for oyster rehabilitation is just one of the earmarks stuffed into a $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill that just passed the House. House passes $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill

The Scariest Halloween Ever
by Pat_S on October 31, 2009A post by Pat It’s a living nightmare. This year like never before the ghoulish libs are coming to our doors with a bag of tricks masquerading as treats. Light the torches. The fateful hour is near. A suggestion via Twitter friend savethiscountry.

CNN: The Real Power of Talk Radio
by Pat_S on October 20, 2009A post by Pat How much power does talk radio have? No psychiatrist today to help us on that. For some inexplicable reason those insecure, bully-loving listeners don’t necessarily do what the talk show hosts tell them to do. Go figure. The imagery and subliminal messages that talk radio is populated by weird loud people with extreme views continued. Camille Paglia sees the opposition party quality of conservative radio these days as a sort of a shadow government and not a problem in a democracy. If you ask me, it’s what democracy is all about. Michael Harris of Talk Radio Magazine attributes Al Franken’s successful bid for the Senate to his stint as a talk radio host. Yeah, that and...

Fox Responds to White House Attack
by Pat_S on October 13, 2009A post by Pat The White House declared war on Fox News. Last night Fox responded. Journalists who were attack dogs against the Bush administration are at least raising an eyebrow over the White House statements. I think the concern is off the mark to criticize the administration for poor political strategy. The demographics of the Fox News audience are irrelevant. It isn’t an issue of differentiating news programming from opinion programming. This is a heavy-handed attempt by the government to suppress free speech. It is not a matter to be taken lightly when government attempts to intimidate news or opinion. Of all people, it is a T.V. critic who sees this for what it is. Of course a comparison...

Shocked In Shockoe Bottom
by Pat_S on September 30, 2009A post by Pat Angry activists gathered outside a Richmond, Virginia strip club decrying abomination! and sounding alarm over the deteriorating standards in America. Prudish church ladies? No. It was the NAACP. The self-described libertarian owner of Club Velvet, Mr. Samuel J.T. Moore III, had unfurled an Obama as The Joker banner outside his building. “This country is going to hell in a handbag,“ Moore said, “and the current administration is making things irreversibly worse.“ Mr. Moore is not the ideal champion of liberty. Moore’s club is awaiting a state Alcoholic Beverage Control hearing on alleged violations. Earlier this year Moore was convicted of three misdemeanor charges related to having sex with a minor and another woman at his apartment...

Mr. Wilson and The Menace
by Pat_S on September 13, 2009A post by Pat In this version Mr. Wilson isn’t the irascible man next door and The Menace isn’t a five-year old boy. The media’s version of Mr. Wilson and The Menace is an exuberant member of Congress named Wilson, the Menace is right-wing extremism. The two are not antagonists, they are villains coiled together in a swamp of hatred. The rancorous townhalls, talk radio and tea parties are part of this multi-headed monster. As Juan Williams puts it: It strikes me as something threatening..something angry is in the water here and it could go beyond the moment to, you know, people taking up arms, or attack. It’s extremism at work.” Mitch Albom, Detroit News Something bigger was at work....

Money Talks, Liberty Shouts
by Pat_S on August 8, 2009A post by Pat Dick Durbin and others claimed insurance companies and “people like them” were behind the townhall protests. This was to discredit the angry turnout as manufactured and counterfeit. Today the drug industry announced they are spending $150 million for TV ads to back the White House healthcare plan. Taking the ‘manufactured’ charge at face value, insurance companies are contemptible for acting in their corporate interest, but not drug companies. (Not today anyway.) Shouts of individual Americans who go to townhall meetings are to be silenced while slick big government propaganda may intrude into our homes. Drugmakers ready $150 million for Obama plan U.S. drugmakers stand ready to spend $150 million to help President Barack Obama overhaul health...
