Ah, it’s that time of year, once again. The seasons change and state legislatures haggle and argue over budgets in their annual displays of brinksmanship, dealmaking and comical out-turned empty trouser pockets. In Pennsylvania, it’s a particularly fun spectator sport, but now the state Democratic party has come up with a way for the electorate to join in the fun, with YourPABudget.com!

Yes, anyone can go to the site and send in their sure-fire ideas for fixing every single one of the states budget problems, once-and-for-all. Thankfully, learning from the mistake of the GOP’s problems with the unmoderated  americaspeakingout.com, the PA Dems are filtering out the (I am sure) very racist and angry rants.

That doesn’t mean that there aren’t some awfully good ideas in here, though.

“TAX THE PORN INDUSTRY” I”M SURE IT IS A BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY….

Even tho alot of people wouyld disagree ( consider that i dont not use !) but legaloze marajuana .Do you no what would happen? The entire world would be without a crisis. We would open doors for every thing and 1, with jobs BILLLLLLIONNNNSSSSSSSSSSSS of dollars upon BILLLLLLLLIONS of dollars . One day it will i guarenteeeee and o yea by the way beer has killed millions of americans in accidents, and make thier judging completely ruined has marijuana

And there we go.

A HOV lane on all major roadways would be a great start!

AGREED.

Wait, what? Oh, an HOV lane? Ah, never mind, then. Sorry. Carry on.

Please consider eliminating the gold PA emblem on all stationery. Blue ink is much cheaper.

QUIT BUILDING SOUND WALLS ALONG THE ROADS.

See, you’re not thinking that through. You had to yell that idea. Maybe you do need the- MAYBE YOU DO NEED THE SOUND WALLS, AFTER ALL, SIR.

Re-vamp the Penal system by cutting expenses for housing prisoners following the state of Arizona’s example:prisoners live outside in tents or huts rather than heated or air conditioned buildings. If it’s good enough for our service men and women, it’s good enough for the offenders of society.

Hold on, madam- are you implying that our men and women in uniform are similar to convicts? Well, I never!

Sabotage an oil rig and blame BP so they have to give us billions!

Tax every student who has access to busing and chooses not to use it $50 per school year Tax strips joints and their ilk

Thousands of people are on un-employment. Have the people who are on unemployment serve on jurys thereby eliminating the stipend paid to folks who have to take off from their jobs to perform jury duty.

When calling a state office, and you’re put on hold, is there music playing? Probably. And if it’s licensed, someone has to pay for that. I’m not sure if it’s a significant expense, but it’s an expense nonetheless.

I’m pretty sure that would just be someone’s Hall and Oates CD.

Make students pay for summer school if it is required. It is generally there own fault if it is required.

Custom Pro-Team License plates. You see them for many other things. A full set for each major city, Steelers, Penguins, Pirates, Eagle Flyers Phillies. Fans would pay a premium for these I know. There could be licensing issues with the NFL, NBA, etc.. But I am sure they would enjoy the extra profits too.

That’s right- make the Sixers count for something, at least!

I AM 77 YEARS OLD AND i SUGGEST THE ELDERY JOIN A UNION BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE IN hARRISBURG LISTEN TO UNION PEOPLE YOU PROMISED THE ELDERY PROPERTY TAX RELIEF FOR 50 YEARS AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHY NOT RAISE THE SALE TAX TO 7 PERCENT WITH ALL THE TAX GOING TO EDUCATION NOT DIVIDNG HALF FOR PITTSBURGH AND THE OTHER HALF FOR pHILA AREA AS YOU DO EVERY TIME TAKE CARE OF pITTS BURGH AND pHILA, THE DEVIL WITH THE REST OF THE STATE

SIR! HOLD ON- PENNDOT WILL BE INSTALLING YOUR SOUND WALL SOON.

MAKE SURE EVERY WELFARE RECIPIENT HAS ATTEMPTED MILITARY SERVICE FIRST. IF someone is going to receive welfare benefits, then we need to make sure they have exhausted all means of searching for a job. The military is the first place they should try. They should have to provide proof that they were rejected to receive their benefits.

If every entertainment related person (actors/actresses/producers, talk show hosts, etc) and way-overpaid sports figures were to donate $1 million each to the government, we would be out of debt over night.

Eliminate the MILLIONS of dollars spent on translating paper work for 20 different languages in PA. If you don’t speak ENGLISH, LEARN IT!! or find someone to translate for you. MILLIONS of dollars wasted each year on translating forms for welfare recipients because no enforcement is made to learn the language of this country. ENGLISH!!

There are a large number of people in PA who purchase alcohol, so I think we shoul d raise the taxes on alcohol substantially.

Have to say, I do not see a flaw with that person’s logic. It’s pretty airtight in the first sentence.

increase the tax on ammunition 50%, this may upset some hunters, but cut down on drive-bys.

Remove air conditioning and heating from the capitol. Legislature will only meet when really needed, reducing the time for mischief and forcing a Texas style legislation process.

I can only assume this somehow involves barbecue or executing someone. Either way, why not?

Increase taxes on the Country Clubs – if you can afford to join them – you can afford to pay higher taxes.

I’m guessing that, if you instead imposed a tax on crazy winner-take-all golf contests or yacht races between country club members (“snobs”) and caddies/kids staying in that dilapidated beach house (“slobs”), you would see a lot more revenue come in.

Tax 10% income tax for anyone who comes up with a new tax idea….

Hey, that seems like it might- OH, WHY YOU…

So, why not head over there today and give them your PA Budget idea?



Looking back upon my Get Off the Internet posts, it certainly seems as though a lot of them have to do with Philadelphia and postings upon Philly.com, the site for its two main newspapers. Why? Well, I live in the City of Brotherly Angry News Commenters and read that site every single day, so there you go.

The trouble with this is that I develop a bit of tunnel-vision- a touch of provinciality, if you will- in that I figure these commenters have the whole trade sewn up in being pretty awful. Why, you might as well just make up some sort of customized print of that classic “A New Yorker’s View of the World” cover and send it to me as a gift, crossing out “9th Ave” with a thick marker and writing in “Broad St.” However- for all such cases of myopia there is often a cure, a moment of clarity where the heavens open up and the bright light of truth comes shining through.

A CASE IN POINT. Not long ago, on this very site, I waded through comments on an Inquirer article about a recent spate of cases involving teens causing mayhem in this fine city’s downtown. In my hubris, I figured that was it. Philadelphia internet commenters had the last say. We could take all comers, holding our heads high. I was wrong.

My internet friends, what we all read that day was nothing. A mere child’s finger-painting compared to a Rembrandt. For you see, no matter where you go, no matter what racist armchair tough-guy nonsense you post, you will always be an amateur compared to the professionals at FreeRepublic.com. Yes, the Freepers picked up on the story after another incident this past weekend, showing everyone in the Philly.com comment section to be the pikers and frauds they truly know themselves to be in their darkest moments of self-reflection.

Starting strong on the very first post (!) with photos of Philadelphia’s African-American mayor and police commissioner to imply their involvement somehow, we jump to-

Philadelphia= the next Detroit

Okay- I know, you’re saying, “So what? We’ve seen that before.” But the simplicity! An equal sign! No wasted verbiage!

You are in a kind of latent Civil War and OBOman in the WH approves it.

Now it’s up to you to defend your freedom and core values by all means you have…

Keep your guns close! If there is no Police,no arrests,in these attacks let’s open the FIRE

This is a clinic, people. A clinic. Keep those notepads and pencils handy.

Grandma is losing her healthcare to pay for these thugs’ care….that’s what they call social justice.

Tying in to the health care reform legislation- masterful!

Take away their cell phones, and they would have to revert back to using drums.

Seriously. Are you taking notes? This is how it’s done.

It’s the stuff 12 gauge shotguns where made for.

Okay- that’s not misspelling. That is a tactic. This is by the book and a joy to watch.

There is terrific segregation in the media. Obama ran tons of hate-filled advertising on Black and Hispanic radio—remember the smear of Rush in the Spanish ad? Black radio spews out paranoia and hate like nothing that white people hear on the radio and TV.

I have been wondering what Obama is cooking up with the armed gangs (with TARP and Porkulus slush funds), totally under the radar. I think the Black Panther beatings of white people were a test run.

Conspiracy theories! Wonderful! You know what? I’m sorry-  I’m just going to get out of the way now and let you enjoy-

Wasp spray if you cannot get pepper spray.

Or a large commercial pump up weed sprayer.

We all must be prepared for an eventuality of a mob, anywhere anytime against anyone.

You need an offensive weapon that won’t hurt you but buys you enough time to flee.

Vinegar is good against unshielded eyes. No permanent harm but terrible sting.

Okay, I’ve been abroad too long, and I haven’t heard this expression, “flash mob,” before. since I didn’t see anything in the article as to a ‘cause’ for this, I’m assuming at the moment that “flash mob” means they are are doing this with no reason necessary-—just to be abusive, injuroius, destructive, and in need of some hot lead.

Best bet is to learn how to use a carry knife that has the legal length blade in home state.

Why didn’t they take their licensed firearm and defend themselves?? In Texas we would have dropped at least a dozen or so.

Part of the plan.

THE PTB ARE ENGINEERING CHAOS IN OUR STREETS–DELIBERATELY.

They want anarchy and an excuse for more deaths and martial law.

May God have mercy on all who Love Him in looming traumas.

Look, the black leadership in this country better get their heads out………..white people have guns, and we will gun down these idiots……..

The time draws near to completely drain the swamp…

Oh, I don’t know about that. Sometimes a small group of people can set thigns right- when they’re properly motivated.

They have DIVIDE AND CONQUER down to an art and a science.

. . . directed literally from hell.

I could wear this into the “mob”, and they wouldn’t know what it meant!

They’d think it was some sort of moon-man talk

I’m thinking that a book would repel them much like a crucifix to a vampire

They have a name for that kind of activity…beating up a lone white guy, usually a guy who wears glasses. I cannot remember it…I think they call it “Nedding” or something bizzare like that.

As far as shooting go’s. I’m basically ambidextrous.

This needs repeating:

“Deep rooted prejudices entertained by the whites; ten thousand reflections, by the blacks, of the injuries they have sustained; new provocations; the real distinction which nature has made; and many other circumstances will divide us into parties, and produce convulsions, which will probably never end but in the extermination of one or the other race.”

Thomas Jefferson

Wow, in my city the mayor is black. The police chief is black. The fire chief is black. The city manager is black. I’m seeing a pattern in cities.

It’s time to go after the editors of the MSM personally and replace the aging Communists with honest people.

If half of what actually goes on in this country is reported, the Dem party would cease to exist in four years, and the Communists would (literally) all have been fled or shot, despite their Ivy League degrees and connections.

Cheers!

Okay. Going to the gun store with the next paycheck. Carrying 24-7.

If it happens around me, there will be up to 16 mobbers proned out bleeding.

Welcome to Philazimbabwe.

Get into the back of the bus, Whitey.

A matter of fact, get your white a$$ off of the bus. Barry is in town. It is time for retribution. I see major issues in the near future. White guilt will loose the day.

White people need to wake up. There is an undeclared war on whites and Western Civilation. It will continue to happen and get worse, way worse, as long as whites continue to run away from race.

This is the training for the Administration’s jackbooted thugs. There arent going to be uniforms, it is going to be about being leftist thugs.

There are those who berate me for carrying several magazines full of ammunition at all times saying there’s no reason I’d ever need more than what is in the pistol.

Oh, is that a fact now?

This kind of rabid animal attack is growing and I will NOT be a victim or stand idly by while others are being attacked by packs of mindless beasts.

I wonder if someone that understands interlocking fire positions and how to use a twitter account, could conjure up their very own “flash riot” and direct it into any small pre-selected area of their chosing?

Alright. Philly.com commenters? You need to step up your game. You need to come correct. Seriously, these FreeRepublic people are making you look like chumps. Poltroons. Second-raters. But you know what? I think you can do it. You can come back, I have faith in you. I’ll be there, cheering you on from the sidelines, because I believe. Now, get out there, you crazy, kooky nuts, you. Maybe you’ll have one more chance with tomorrow’s stories. Make me proud!



No matter how much people may pine for the “good old days,” the truth is that politics have always been rather ugly. But underneath a great deal of it, certain things were off limits for most people, regardless of party. In Rick Perlstein’s book Nixonland, a sea change is identified, wherein divisions between political ideologies in the 60s and 70s were driven even deeper for short term gain by a certain party in America’s wonderfully diverse two-party system. A strong case could be made that these divisions have borne the fruit of reasoned political discourse in the form of today’s Rush Limbaughs, Glenn Becks and the whimsical Tea Party Movement.

Today’s angry man-on-the-street conservatives have been told over and over again that they have a lot to be angry about- assailed on all sides by political correctness; a president who is just waiting for the right time to throw them into Marxist gulags; police around the corner waiting to take their precious guns; and, currently, a bunch of socialists in Congress ready to come into their houses and make them stop paying a lot of money to health insurance companies.

A wonderful gathering place for these folks is the venerable FreeRepublic.com. Last evening, when I read of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D. Nev.) wife and daughter being hurt in an awful automobile accident, I figured that the “Freepers” would surely be able to put aside partisan rancor and have nothing but good wishes for the Reid family. I mean, there are just some things that transcend politics, right?

That is sad. Prayers for the family.

See, there we go. No matter one’s political beliefs, it is important to-

you do not want my opinion on this one. Right now…..I am a target of Reid……dont ask for my opinion on his family.

Oh, screw it. Let’s just get this over with.

He needs to establish his proper perspectives and put his family first. By all means he should immeddiately resign from the Senate and spend more time with them.

/falsehopes

They suffered enough being in his family

Where was Joe Biden?

“Where was Joe Biden?” is the wrong question. The correct question is:

Where were Eric Massa and Barney Frank?

“Where were Eric Massa and Barney Frank?”

Perhaps out rear-ending each other?

That’s what I thought when I read they were “rear-ended”, but these were females. No reason to suspect either of those two.

In these kinds of situations, there is only one prayer I feel safe with and honest about. As for his family, “May Gods will be done”.

As for Reid…. a traitor to this country, the guy that hates us all, the one that wants to steal our Liberty—our treasure and the future of unborn generations to come, and trash our constitution on a daily basis…. I wish him a horrible day, a debilitating headache caused from an aneurysm and a 10 year shorter lifespan from all the stress he experiences. I would say more, but I’m trying to be nice during his time of need.

Prayers that they’ll be OK.

Oh, and to balance things out – screw you, Harry.

Reid has a son named “Key” and they made fun of Sarah Palin’s children’s name.

Related to Reid, and now this? They can’t get a break. Prayers for them.

trying to give a shi’ite

Hope it wasn’t a Prius!

Really! Wonder how many of The Green Mafia in California are still driving their Prius with their holier-than-thou noses stuck up in the air!

Larry David? Anyone? Anyone? Buellar? (sic?)

Ted Kennedy (D-HELL) is unavailable for comment…

Upon news that Reid later went back to Capitol Hill to continue negotiations on the health care legislation-

Harry Reid was tested. He was given a choice between being with his family in their time of need, or pursing 0bama’s evil agenda to deprive Americans of their healthcare.

He made his choice, and he will reap its consequences.

ISN’T MASSA IN DE COLD, COLD GROUN’?

What?

Frankly, but sadly, I’m suspicious of anything that revolves around the scoundrels Harry Reid and the demrat party.

Could this be a sympathy play like the one The Breck Girl tried to pull off with his wife’s alleged cancer? While, by the way, he was screwing another woman.

Reid doesn’t care, why should we? His goon bureaucrats would probaly turn us down for care…yet we are forced to pay for his family.

I wish his wife and daughter well and hope thay will be rid of this scum sooner rather than later.

Believe me folks, if it was all that bad for them, he would have used sympathy rather than heading back to Capitol Hill.

He stepped on a crack
and broke his wifes back

Damn him

I’m interested in the semi. Was it one of those allowed into the US from Mexico? Or is the driver here legally?

Just wonderin’…

Bill Clinton’s secretary found that her brother had been run down by a semi on his way to get aid for his disabled car. He got up, though, and was hit by a semi coming from the opposite direction.

She was scheduled to testify about Bill some time later that week.

So, yeah, this does look like another bit of the “Clinton Body Count”.

I’d be interrogating that truck driver on a rack in a garage, and hooking up my battery charger as I talked casually to him. Now that won’t happen because there are people in American who don’t want him to tell the truth!

Hey, that’s my tax dollars at work in that hospital. We don’t want people like Harry Reid hanging around scaring the paying patients.

We are better off with him in Downtown DC playing with the gay boys in the House eh!

Judgement at the house of Harry Reid!

Sounds like hardball Chicago style politics…

The fascist Obama thug purge has begun. Right on schedule.Harry must have pished off Rahm Emmanual or Obama big time.

Here’s the thing- during the Last Administration, I did not agree with one iota of one speck of anything swirling around the White House. But you know what? I never wished or would gloat about bodily harm to anyone I disagree with politically. But these people? Not a problem. They’re entirely justified because they’re the “good guys.” And if you watch Lost, you know what a loaded phrase that can be.



You get a special kind of politician in different parts of the country. In California, you tend to get ex-actors. In Texas you get people like Betty Brown, who recently suggested that, well…I’ll let her explain:

“Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s a rather difficult language — do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?

I know, right?

Let’s go to the internet for reactions:

If this was a democrat making this statement nothing would be said….

I see the report made it clear that she is a republican. How many times have democrates done stupid or ILLEGAL things and they never point out the fact that they are democrats?

Well, if this was being reported on Fox, I’m sure they’d identify Brown as a Democrat. Does that help you any?

So let me get this straight … the complaining immigrants, set up by the democrats to disguie the real issue in Texas which is border hopping (and last I looked we didn’t ahre a border with China) are complaining that they cannot keep track of their aliases right? And the representative suggested that they should choose simpler aliases, and the democrats are trying to manufacture one of their issues about this right? With the goal of stopping the legislation requiring people that vote to be legal? Ok, I think I got it now.

Screw these Asian and screw the Chronicle., I;m sick of the City and area in Texas where I grew up looking like some 3rd World Latin/Asian/ whatever dump!!!

Most dems want the dead to vote and all illegals to vote and let us not forget about the felons who they want to vote! Just watch ACORN and you will see how they operate!

She made a very practical and helpful suggestion. Of course the liberals are too clouded in their love for anything anti-American that they have to go beserk about it.

I believe the REAL name of the organization was “Asians for Obama”. And then the deceptive extremist left wing assaulters in the liberal media wonder why no one believes a word they say, and every other week, more of their friends are laid off.
It will be interesting to see if the Chronicle has enough integrity to correct this extremist hit piece.

This article has been up for an hour and a half. It has 11 pages of comments at this moment. See why the media outlets resort to cheap tabloid style hit pieces like this? They think it sparks interest. No, it sparks hatred. As the fascist democrats they are, establishing hatred and anarchy is their job. Divide and conguer is the democrat way …

(*^%&^& guy made me jump out of my seat. Lying, good for nothing politicians. Just like with illegal aliens. We just want our laws enforced. Since our Politicians like Mr. Richie, do nothing about the illegal alien situation, and they smooz the ACORN people we saw lined up in the hallways, those lying, cheating, kniving vote box stuffing…. don’t get me going……… And the only way to make sure the people who vote are valid voters, is to require ID! THE PEOPLE ARE TALKING BUT YOU DUMBOCRAT$ ONLY LI$TEN TO THE LOBBYI$T.

This fake indignation by the libs is so pathetic. My great great grandfather translated our German name to English and my who family is very happy about it. No one mispronounces our name now and that is fine by me. That is the big problem with the libs. They always want to run somebody elses store and never take their own advice. Liberals are trying to tear up our constitution right now and our fearless mindless leader is running around the world apologizing for the greatest most benevolent country in the history of the world. If you want to find racists and sexists then look to the libs. Liberalism is the greatest threat there is to our freedom.

When Obama gets voted out of office, he can apply for Mickey’s job at Disney Land. It’s the happiest place on Earth and everyone will love him there.

And I would guess the family’s of all that have defended and lost their lives for the America that Obama is giving away for a personality contest would agree. It is written in our constitution, if anyone rembembers what that is any more, that our intent in forming this nation is a benevelent one. Not to dictate and strip the individual of their personal power. Disempowering the American citizen is the largest step toward destroying what we know to be freedom. Let’s just see what happens to our society when many don’t have the need to strive to improve themselves, because the government is giving it to them. Watch the crime rate in your community, and observe the lack of desire in your children to become all they can be.

SHE IS 100% RIGHT!!! About time some one spoke the truth. Now watch all the phomy left wing liberals go to work.

I believe the problem extends beyond the Asian community. Just look at how many Smiths, Jones, Washingtons, Rodriguezs, Lopezs, etc that we have and how difficult that is. Just google your own name and you’ll probably find that you may not be the only one with your name. So we are using middle names which helps, so do we add a fourth name to ID all.

I…what?

It’s just like these liberals to hate everything American. If everyone else’s way of doing things is so much better, why don’t they LEAVE?



Recently, Politico writer Ben Smith posted about the efforts of freshman Congressperson Bill Posey (R-FL) to amend the Federal Election Campaign act so that all candidates for President must provide a birth certificate in order to run. I have absolutely no idea what kind of point Posey is trying to make, but then again, I don’t have trouble understanding the difference between a “birth certificate” and a “certification of live birth.”

Let’s see how Posey’s intended audience reacted to Smith’s post:

I assume this would only pertain to “future” potus candidates- right?

well..where is it…let America see it….not some fuzzy internet copy..let’s see the darn thing…i have mine…you have yours or have access to it…LET US SEE IT..NOW

What bothers me is that it is so simple to just release the birth certificate and be done with it. Yet O’bummer won’t do it. Why?

They lied about John Edwards cheating on his cancer stricken wife and fathering a *******.

Yes, because the situations are exactly equivalent…

Whether you believe the truthers or not, the fact that this has come up requires an answer. Even 9/11 had a commission and answered the questions. I find the answer Snopes, Wiki and Real Clear ” say so ” isn’t complete or valid enough. The country demands better. Clear out the vitriol from both sides and see what the facts are.

That, ladies and gentleman, was a classic “concern troll” in operation.

taxpayer your are correct, they creamed for McCain to release his, and he did so. But their lord and savior can hide his and nothing is said. That’s change we can believe in. He obviously has something to hide, otherwise they would have released it.

Yes, the President’s refusal to devote any more time to fringe conspiracy theorists is proof that he has something to hide.

The President has also refused to divulge the truth about the aliens who abduct me every third Friday night and dress me up in a gingham dress so that I can seduce sailors, and you know what that means…

People who boastfully claim to have committed felonies, as Obama has with his cocaine possession, should also be barred from the White House, and they should also be forced to take drug tests to prove that they still aren’t snorting cocaine and smoking crack. Obama may have won votes from the MTV crowd when he boasted about inhaling drugs, but we need a President we can be proud of and one we can be confidant will have a clear head when making life and death decisions.

Yes, a man who abused dangerous substances in his youth has no business being President.

This isn’t going to go away, and it isn’t just Crackpots who want to see his real birth certificate. Consider this: Thursday, March 12, 2009 Open Letter to the Secretary of Defense Open Letter to the Secretary of Defense Honorable Robert M. Gates, 3 Mar. 2009 Enough is enough! You must be aware at this point of the tempest brewing among the Rank and File. I am writing you in an effort to appeal to your sense of concern for the Military; a concern we share not only for the Military as a whole but for each and every individual who wears the Uniform in the Service of our Country. I am in this regard specifically asking you for your help. I implore you to not wait until the ?pot boils over? and we find ourselves in total disarray. I am convinced, beyond any doubt, that the moral well being and efficiency of our fighting forces to defend our Country is soon to be hanging in a precarious balance if not already. In my humble estimation this is NOT a theoretical possibility to construct a thesis or a contingency plan about. It is a reality and is happening right now. Resolution of this issue must be accomplished in the most expeditious manner available at your disposal to gain immediate relief to those of us who are struggling to fully comply with our sworn Oath to the Constitution while being conflicted by questions relating to the qualifications of the POTUS to hold the office in full and absolute compliance with the Natural Born Citizen Clause. Regardless of differences in the color of our uniforms, the color of our skin, religion or gender WE are Brothers and Sisters in Arms and our family is being torn apart. Are you not looking and listening to what is happening around you? How can anyone of good conscious stand by and let this happen to us? I for one cannot! You must care enough to intercede to stop this. Is this not within your power to do so? Why have you not acted already? What is it that you are waiting for? If you have any doubts of what I am saying is true you need look no further than the comments made on the Military.com site regarding the actions of Lt. Scott Easterling who, in my opinion, is an absolutely courageous young Army Officer. Irrespective of your personal opinion of his actions, one thing is abundantly clear; the horrible, hateful and demeaning things that were being said about him and one to the other among my Brothers and Sisters in Arms were things that I have NEVER experienced in ALL my years of military service. It is no less than gut retching to see this happening. The wounds that are being inflicted will NOT be healed by any Medicine I have at my disposal. There is nothing I learned in Medical School or in my training as a Flight Surgeon that can fix this; save the absolute power of Truth. The POTUS must stop concealing the documents once and for all and the issue of his qualifications must be addressed. Make no mistake; any adverse consequences to the troops as a result of your failure to act responsibly will be in large part directly on your head. Have you considered the legal ramifications for our fighting forces if for any reason the POTUS is not qualified. Are they in Iraq illegally? If so, does this make them terrorists under International law as the Islamic radical elements have been calling them? Have they given up their Geneva protections and do not even know this? If so, when captured can they be killed or tortured without International legal ramifications? Have they been stripped of the legal protections by the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief act? Are you willing to allow this risk to them when they are fighting for us? Once again I find myself at a loss of words to try to explain the abject and total dismay I have at the administration, to include the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, to allow the painful division now occurring in our military to proceed unabated. I hope that I do not need to remind you that you as well took an Oath to support and defend the Constitution. As a point of honor you are either willing to do this or you are not. If you are not, then preserve your honor, resign and let someone who cares more about us than that do what is right. I again respectfully implore you to act within your powers and help us. It is absolutely true and is my Prayer to my Creator to allow me to suffer the slings and arrows of being thought a fool rather than to have my convictions realized that persons of responsibility have allowed through negligence to have the Office of the President of the United States to be USURPED; it is self evident however, that whatever the outcome we must know the truth. V/R (Virtual Regards); Lt Col David A. Earl-Graef USAFR MC

Uh…huh

They need to introduce a bill that makes welfare and burdens on society unable to vote..this way Comrade Obama and the libs would just fade away

All class, these people.

Come on — his broken campaign promises and lies are being exposed more and more every day. Why is it so hard to believe he wouldn’t lie about his birthplace? He’s also blocked access to college records that could reveal more about his background. Bush and Kerry released their college records (so we all knew Bush had a higher gpa than Kerry). What is Obama hiding? College assistance based on his being a “foreign born” student? His disqualification could be the answer to the prayers of those who don’t want him to continue his socialist ways and his destroying of this country.

While the 1961 long form birth certificate, which no one has seen, is important, that is a mere smokescreen to the real issue. On Barack Obama’s campaing website, quoting factcheck.org, is the actual issue… ?When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom?s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.?s children. http://fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate How can British law “govern” the “birth status” of a “natural born citizen” of the United States? Logic and common sense answer the question. However, whether a British citizen at birth can also be a natural born citizen of the United States under the Constitution is a legal question, which must be answered by our judiciary. Murder is wrong. And our judiciary has spoken on the matter. The judiciary should settle the matter: How can British law “govern” the “birth status” of a “natural born citizen” of the United States?

“Scare” quotes make “silly” points “sound” legitimate.

I AM SOOOOOOO TIRED OF ALL YOU LIBS CALLING ME A RACIST BECAUSE I DID NOT VOTE FOR THE MESSIAH, JUST LIKE A LOT OF OTHER CONSERVATIVES WE VOTED AGAIST HIS LIBERAL POLITICS NOT AGAIST HIS COLOR!!!!! ITS SO EASY FOR YOU LIBS TO ACCUSE PEOPLE OF RACISM HIDEING BEHIND A COMPUTER… LOOSERS… HOW ABOUT THAT GOTTALOVETHEGOP, BY THE WAY WHERE IS THE BC?

To all you deniers that are too scared to allow the truth to be told for fear of learning that, in fact, your Messiah is an illegal alien usurper, just remember that the biggest problem with sticking your head stuck in the sand is that it leaves your ass sticking up in the air for everyone that passes by to give it a well deserved kick. This issue is not going away until the truth is laid bare for all to see.

Yes, I am desperate. Everyday I see this idiot Obama do things that destroy the fabric of this once great nation. The Federal government has become a cancer on the United States of America. It has metastasized in the state and local governments and it was the 16th amendment to the Constitution that began the growth of this sickening tumor. This cancerous blight grows and grows bigger and bigger year after year. We have now reached the point where enough people depend on the government for employment or handouts that they can swing an election. And the government grows. So forgive me if I am desperate. My grandmother escaped Russia by hiding in a train’s coal car after her father was murdered by the communists. I’m glad she’s not alive to see what has happened to this country. I’m putting my faith in the military in the hope that they will do the right thing and stop this madness. Someone needs to push the overcharge button. Errr, I meant the reset button and take back this country. The federal government needs to be a tiny fraction of it’s current size. Truth be told, you left-wing idealogues are truly incapable of simple comprehension. Do you realize, that in Bush’s eight years, the only constitutionally valid actions taken by the federal government were military actions and trade agreements. The constitution precludes the federal government from doing most of what it does today. Try reading it for once. It spells out what the feds can do and says that EVERYTHING else is reserved to the states, or the people. Most of us ‘desperate’ people have been upset about this for a LONG time, but it is Obama who is putting government growth on steroids. I’m smart enough to make my own decisions and I don’t want or need the federal government to do it for me. If that’s what you want, maybe you should get the heck out of this country. It was founded on liberty but seems to be ending in tyranny. Signed, Desperate for Liberty

Well this is really getting to be a HOT topic & well it should be! BUT- forget the BC or the COLB, it’s far simpler than either. His Father was a Kenyan. In 1961 even Black men from Kenya had rights. Every Father on planet earth has the right to transfer his citizenship to his new born son! Baby O was born a Brit under the rights of his Father & the British colony of Kenya. His mother was only 17 and to young to transfer her American citizenship to her son at birth in 1961. So whither or not he was born an American, he was born a Brit. Being born a Brit he can not be an American NATURAL BORN CITIZEN! At best he was a dual citizen born Brit & American. Dual citizenships make you NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. Remember these Obots are not to intelligent, they voted for an unknown quantity in the first place. They refuse to understand that “CITIZEN” & “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN” are two distinctly different things. Arnold Swartzenegger is an American Citizen and Governator of whacko California, but he can not “BE” nor “RUN FOR” president, he is not NATURAL BORN! We appear to have elected a Brit as President of the United States. Wouldn’t our Founding Fathers back in 1776 have a few things to scream at us about if they could see us now!

Congress should introduce a bill requiring the man posing as Paul McCartney to prove he is not the imposter who replaced Paul when he died in the ’60s.

It’s important.

Yeah, I think we can safely leave off there…



One of the best signs of how deep Obama Derangement Syndrome is in certain segments of the population is how strongly they over-react to innocuous stories about the President and his family.  Take, for example, this recent story about Michelle Obama’s plan to plant a vegetable garden on the White House grounds:

What is going to be next, some chickens running around the White House????
and some clothes lines in the “back yard”????

and wouldn’t that will be more tax money spent. Who will pay for the maintenance of the garden, the water, seeds, etc….

I…what?

Will they be planting telepromters since O-Dumb_AH can’t speak without one LMAO
O-dumb-ah actually thanked himself after a telepromter put in the wrong speech yesterday LMAO.. WhAT a clown, the laughing stock of the world; and tonight he will be the first sitting president to lower himself to going on a comedy show.. but hey maybe thats where he belongs lmao…Obama and his cabinet of clowns.. featuring.. TURBOTAX TIMMY LMAO

did someone say watermelon patch?

All class, these folks.

Doesn’t the White House trust our food supply? Maybe if we all had our own garden we wouldn’t need this massive budget Obama is asking for as well as $11 Trillion dept he keeps growing. Another example he set was accepting over $100,000 from our friends at AIG.

Well he shouldn’t trust the food supply, with so much chemicals used and the soil depleted by the farming methods used. Not that he objects – he appointed the Governor from Monsanto as his Agriculture Secretary.

Is it safe to plant food on the White House lawn? My guess is they’ve been using chemicals for decades on it. How much poison is in the soil that the plants will uptake? Will Sasha and Malia be poisoned by food from the White House garden? Stay tuned.



To the horror of all well-dressed political pundits, President Obama has jettisoned a Bush-era tradition long thought sacrosant: he was photographed in the Oval Office without wearing a suit jacket.

Let’s see how CNN readers respond:

MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD TELL HIM HE IS THE POTUS AND HE IS IN THE OVAL OFFFICE NOT THE BASKETBALL COURT…..WHAT’S NEXT…MAYBE HE CAN TELL THE QUEEN WHEN HE MEETS HER THAT SHE HAS NICE BLING……….

this is the Change we can beleive in? WOW

wow what a rule change is this all we can expect from Bubba

You people are acting like giddy little children that have just seen Santa Claus at the mall. Obama is a man, and yet to prove anything except that he knows how to get elected.

No surpise here. Like the Clintons, Obama has no respect for the office. Or its traditions. I just hope the country survives the next 4 years.

No coat for Obama – not pants for Clinton. Gotta love those demoncrats!

“Demoncrats!” Wow, so clever.

Here we go, oversized sweatpants and bling bling and a baseball cap

Yes, nothing that dignifies the office like a padded flight suit.

PRESIDENT OBAMA SHOULD CONTINUE THE WHITE HOUSE DRESS CODE. WHEN WEARING SHIRT WITHOUT TIE…REMINDS US OF THE LEADER OF IRAN, NEVER WEARS A TIE . A PRESIDENT SHOULD DRESS PROPERLY OUR PRESIDENT IS REPRESENTING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WE MUST SET THE RIGHT EXAMPLE. IN EVERY WAY… ALWAYS!.

This is ‘history’ in the making? Boy, I already miss GWB!

Pffftttt…trying to show what a ‘hard working’ guy he is. Whatever. Just another photo op…When will people actually get a clue, and awake from the brainwashing?

So much for total respect for the Office of the Presidency……….Ronald Reagan never walked into the Oval Office without a coat on, but then Barrack is no Ronald Reagan

And we are all very grateful for that.

And to think, we have at least four more years of this kind of incisive political commentary from the Republicans to look forward to.



It’s hard to pass up the comments on the web-version of a newspaper, USA Today, that so embodies “lowest common denominator” that its print version is delivered daily to hotel room doors around the country. But when that article is about President-Elect Obama being featured in a Spider-Man comic, the comments are just too hilarious to pass up.

Comments seem to fall into a few different categories: Bush-bashing, reverse Bush-bashing/liberal baiting, pedantry, and insanity. But as you’ll see, there are quite a few that fit into the other categories that also fit into insanity.

Bush Bashing

I’m hoping they print it in a large format, so the people who are currently losing their jobs and homes as this little feel-good farce of a presidency gets underway will have something comfy to sleep on …
Maybe they’ll do a George W. Bush retrospective and show how the jobs and home losses came to be.

Hey what do you know, another article that bitter people can trash Obama on for no other reason than retribution for the persecution of their last president’s blundering administration.

Reverse Bush-Bashing/Liberal Baiting

That must be spidy meeting Obama outside a CBC meeting where Obama found proof positive the AIDS virus was invented by GW.

Who new Obama was a cartoon character? Everyone else told me he was the “messiah”!! Now I’m really confused.

It totally works – they’re both fictional superheros.

what do you expect. a liberal commie indoctrinating kids thru childrens books and comics.
everywhere you go,you see this studdering buffoon.

Pedantry

(these first three appear to be a conversation)

This from the guy whose company put out an issue with the Punisher threatening to kill a drunken, evil Bush 43. Liar.

Cite, please.

Late 2001, Punisher series vol.4. I want to say issue #5, but don’t have the comic here to verify.

I’ve got no problem with Marvel capitalizing on the the new President to sell some comics. I do have a problem that they purposely short-printed the comic to reward the hoarders and scalpers.

Of course, if you hadn’t told me that was Obama in the picture, I never would have guessed. It looks nothing like him.

Insanity

Amazing!!! The first US president whose very existence is putting food on the tables of many americans. I am a spiderman fan myself. I never liked Superman and how he has been over-rated. Obama needs to get in touch with me so that we can talk a lot more about Spiderman. I would love it.

U.S. of KKK, white supremist America, America engaged in genocide against blacks, U.S. invented AIDS, Obama elected president
Never never never — Burris — well maybe — well okay — CBC endorsed — hell yes
yeah, things are just now getting ridiculous — oh, I like Obama too.

Well….my son has now lost total respect for his favorite superhero – Spiderman.

Talk about squashing a little boy’s world.

(Here’s a quick back and forth between two commenters. The second commenter’s supercilious attitude is palpable through his terrible spelling and grammar, and for that alone I laugh.)

Hey spud799………You’re just upset, because GWB wasn’t decent enough to be in the superhero comics…..EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!!!! BAO has the smarts and the integrity to be a decent President for ALL of America…….not just for the greedy rich!!

Get you acronyms right if your going to criticize. BAO? I think the correct I.D. is BHO.
Scouts Out!

“Obama collectibles” – oxymoron
Marvel comics – trying to shamelessly cash in on the hype
What’s next ? A Nancy Pelosi “fake beard”, a Harry Reid autographed bottle of suppositories?

I hope that when the Chicago mess gets even worse and all of “O”s corruption becomes, finally, public, Spiderman will come to the rescue and bring him to justice….and put him behind bars where he belongs!

Get off the internet, people. Get off the internet forever.

Bonus Actual hilarity! I didn’t expect to see anything like this on USA Today:

All I know is that somebody needs to get a radioactive spider to bite Paul Volcker. Because right now, I think what we need is a superhuman economist.



Barack Obama became the nation’s 44th president last night. A loud minority of people are pretty unhappy with it. There’s 76 pages so far of this stuff on the FOX News forum.  Here’s some highlights from the first 3 or 4.

If I was currently serving my country, be it in Iraq, Afghanistan, or
in any station, my course of action may do both myself and Obama a
favor: I would resign my commission (if an officer) or ask for a
discharge (honorable–if enlisted), effective on the date of
inaguration. I am extremely proud to be an American and would be proud
to serve her (if I were still doing so), but I would not serve Obama.
An Obama presidency is anti-American and not worth serving. Besides,
since he wants to withdraw troops from Iraq en masse, I would be one
less man he would have to worry about withdrawing. BTW, if Obama were
not inagurated on no longer in power, many would be proud to serve the
new commander-in-chief.

McCain lost because so many stupid, idiotic Americans were deceived by
the lies of Obama and Biden.
And mostly of those Americans, are ignorant Americans, power hungry
Americans, Americans who are traitors like Jane Fonda who betrayed
America by siding with the Viet Congs during the Vietnam War, leftists
Americans who love terrorists, and Americans who doesn’t care if this
country is sold to the hands of the foreigners who rule over you! God
will not bless America anymore! America is now the Dragon who will eat
his own tail: that is, all of you!!!

McCain/Palin lost because of the media and nothing else. He was
fighting all the bias that tv news, magazines, and newspapers threw at
them. It was never the experienced leader against a black man, it was
the experienced leader again the entire media and those dumb
celebrities in hollywood who are so screwed up.
Journalism is a disgrace. They conned a nation into believing that
Obama was “The One”.
We should all wear a black arm ban today as today is the death of
democracy.

Scott: You’re right, if Obama lost last night, his supporters would be
rioting, looting, burning, and destroying everything in site in the
streets. I must admit, I’d rather be listening to and reading non-
intelligent gloating by the ignorant than watching the ignorant run
rampant with wanton destruction on the news. The lesser of two evils I
guess.

It is no suprise that Castro is happy for us (as has been reported
this morning). I just hope we don’t wake up in a few years and can’t
figure out if we are living in the U.S. or Cuba.
McCain didn’t have much of a chance. I feel like our country is truely
changing. Our American way used to be work hard, prosper, have pride.
The new American way is sit on your ass, collect, feel owed. I really
feel sorry for our future lazy generations. They will never know how
good it feels to earn somthing.

I don’t feel we lost the election but the country was overthrown in a
bloodless coup by liberal, socialist that control the media, press and
universities (Karl Marks own formula).
Anybody that don’t see this is probably praying to a billboard poster
of Obama waiting on the guy to save him.

as they did my last. We commit soon to a new revolutionary movement in
this country. Once again looks like the North against the South.. just
take a look at the Red State Blue State map and see where the
Socialist anti American idiots live. We fought a revolution 200 years
ago against tyranny. May be time to do it again.

McCain lost because he was a honest and good person and Obama run
against Bush not McCain as he did for so many years. If he had of run
against McCain he would have lost.

We do not live in a democracy we live in a REPUBLIC! The reason Obama
won vs McCain? Simple – the powers that be wanted Obama as president.
Obama outspent McCain something like eight times over. Goes to show
that you can buy your way into the White House if you have enough
money thrown at you. This is a sad day!

Hopefully Sarah Palin will pose in Playboy now.



So in a thoughtful and measured interview on Sunday’s edition of Meet the Press, Gen. Colin Powell (Ret.) endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president.

But even before the interview aired, the wingnuts were crying treason.

Charlotte Observer columnist Mike DeVine, posting as (heh) “gamecock,” leads off with the charmingly titled “Colin Powell betrays America when not following orders”:

[This column assumes that Colin Powell will endorse Barack Obama this morning on Meet the Press. That he hasn't already endorsed John McCain justifies his denunciation in any event.]

In the comments thread, BatMasterson agrees, and could perhaps suggest a good moisturizer for the general as well:

Powell is just like bill richardson
he is a fair weathered friend

An interesting phenomenon is that still-bitter supporters of Hillary Clinton are none too pleased, either, as witness gerard “Barracuda” Nedich in the comments at right-wing screed factory blog No Quarter:

Shame on you Colin Powell

a. hillary
b. mccain

america first!

snosandy is personally disappointed in Powell, who is apparently a close personal friend of the family:

He’s not the Colin Powell I thought I knew.

No Way, No How NoBama and his tinfoil hat know the score, man:

Time for the 3rd party candidates to back McCain for the good of the country. I’m writing down the names of all the creeps that let us down this year to pass on to the next generation since they’ll just change the history books for them.

It’s always refreshing when a white commenter such as Sue recognizes racial oppression when she sees it:

Colin Powell is a racist. There I said it. The only reason he’s endorsing Obama is because he’s black.

Much more, if that’s your thing. I’m going for some Pepto.
