Its Principle Stupid!

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. John Quincy Adams

I came across this interesting article from POLITICO. As I read the article, I was astounded by the comments from the Democrats and Democratic pundits.

- “We withdrew from the accounts of voters and now we need to pay them back,” said Nathan Daschle, executive director of the Democratic Governors Association. “We are having these conversations right now about what independents need to see and hear.”

-“This is what’s particularly heartbreaking: There is a real sense that no one in Congress is standing up for them,” said Myers. “It’s a real problem for messaging for us.”

What neither the Democrats nor Republicans seem to get is that it is about "PRINCIPLE", not "PARTY" stupid! People are tired of this "party bashing". People are fed up with both Republicans and Democrats! We don't care what "PARTY" is in power, what we want is "PRINCIPLE" and "COMMON SENSE". We don't care what you have "GIVEN" us, we care about what you have "TAKEN AWAY".

After the TEA Parties and town halls, I am surprised by the denseness.

Quite frankly, I'm glad neither party is getting it right now. Keep wringing your hands career politicians! I've chuckled over the last few days at the pundits trying to explain why Sarah Palin is popular. I've heard everything from "Freak-Show" to the "Quintessential Woman". I think Sarah is laughing, too. I think that she gets it...

TGIF - Random Thoughts

ACORN is sueing Congress

So ACORN is sueing Congress for cutting off its funding saying that it was "unConstitutional". If this is the case:
- Can Americans sue Congress for violating the 10th Amendment every single day?
- Can we sue for "Violating the Public Trust"?
- If individuals can be prosecuted and jailed for "lying" to Congress, can Congress be prosecuted and jailed for "lying" to the American public?

Kalid Sheik Mohammed, mastermind behind 9/11 will be tried in Federal Court in NYC

As Jon Gruden would say, "Ridonkulous!". Bring this Satan to American soil, guarantee him Constitutional rights, lawyer him up, and try him in an American court only a few blocks from the World Trade Center site? I'm sure George Soros, MoveOn.org, and the ACLU are already lining up lawyers to help this poor, poor man...

BTW...every notice how much KSM and pornstar Ron Jeremy look alike? Hmmmm....



Along the Same Line...an email from my brother-in-law:

Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner?

The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife
and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge
knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a loaded 40 caliber Glock, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
..............................................................
Democrat's Answer:

"Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack Could we possibly run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have an appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day, and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus."

They Are All Boobs!

Yesterday on the steps of the Capital, Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann held a rally against Fancy Nancy's federal takeover of healthcare. Great idea right!?

Here is House Republican Minority Leader, John Boehner (R-OH)quoting the preamble to the Constitution (or so he thought!)

While I'm not a fan of CNN or MSNBC, I do believe in what Will Rogers said, "There are 3 sides to every story...my side, your side, and the TRUTH!"

Just beautiful...one party can't tell the Constitution from the Declaration of Independence and the other party would just as well use them for toilet paper!

Are these people this stupid? I can't imagine why average Americans are so disappointed in Washington D.C.! When they take the oath of office to uphold the Constitution, I guess that actually reading it is an option?

Friday Funny:
Costume Party

A couple was invited to a swanky costume party. The Mrs. got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. He, being a devoted husband protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time being spoiled by not going.

So he took his costume and away he went. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, awakened without pain and, as it was still early, decided to go the party. Since her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would
have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him.

She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice woman he could, and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there. His wife sidled up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his current partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new babe that had just arrived. She let him go as far as he wished ,naturally, since he was her husband. Finally, he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed. So off they went to one of the cars and had a quickie.

Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away, went home, put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make for his behavior. She was sitting up reading when he came in, and she asked what kind of a time he had. He said: "Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there."

She asked,"Did you dance much ?"

He responded,"I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the den and played poker all evening. But you're not going to believe what happened to the guy I loaned my costume to.....!"

Isn't It Ironic?

As the Democrats wrangle over their Obamacare bills working their way through Congress, one fact seems to be emerging….that despite the President’s claim that if you like your current insurance plan, you will be able to keep it. Not so fast... apparently the President hasn’t read the 2,000 pages of legislation being proposed. This is a great article from Fortune and CNNMoney that once you actually READ the bills, a different picture emerges. The article highlights the “5 Freedoms You Lose” with Obamacare.

Isn’t it ironic that when it comes to Roe vs. Wade, the Democrats are all about Freedom and the Freedom to choose? They are all about the 14th Amendment and the Right to Privacy. Remember their concern over the Patriot Act and its “invasion of privacy” and the left-wing blogs filled with vitriol towards Bush and Cheney over taking away “cherished freedoms and rights”.

Isn’t it ironic that now, the same people so concerned about American’s “freedoms and rights”, are willing to ignore the fact that Obamacare will do just that?

Healthcare Debate – Dems Push “Plan”

Al Gore should have been busy planting trees on the White House and Capitol Hill to combat the dramatic rise in CO2 emissions from Democrats putting the full-court press on passing their so-called Healthcare Reform Act. The plan laid out in an 1100 page House bill (another fine example of government efficiency) by Nancy Peloser will spend another $1.5 trillion dollars of Chinese money to insure the “right” of healthcare to all Americans (and 12 million potential illegal future Democratic voters) and save the future of America!

The “god-like” President (fresh off his no-hitter at the All-Star game) put the full-court press on to get this thing passed before the all important Congressional vacation in August. Against a backdrop of a Nurses Organization (who endorsed his presidency last year), he laced his speech with more touchy-feely stories and how the “lucky” such as himself, should step up the plate and pay more.

Pres Obama, "I think the best way to fund it is for people like myself who have been very lucky, to pay a little bit more."

Earth to Obama….most people and small businesses that have been successful did not do so because of “luck”. It’s actually called “hard work”, or “sacrifice”, or “risk-taking” and they deserve the fruits of their labor. This comment is so indicative of the Democratic – Socialist philosophy that rules the Federal government.

Therefore it is obvious to the intelligent thinker, that this push for the federalization of healthcare is not about costs, choice, or availability, but simply “The Re-Distribution of Wealth” from the “lucky” to the “unlucky” and Power. Once the Democrats have more than 50% of the voting public on Federal entitlement programs, they can assure themselves of remaining in control.

Call, email your Congressman, Senator and stop this “Obamanation”!
