Yay! Everyone’s favorite rock star, Obama, has “won” the Nobel Peace Prize. You may note that the word “won” is in quotation marks. That’s because when one “wins” an award, it is generally presumed that one has done something to earn said award.  Our rock star prez, however, has done nothing… less than nothing, actually. As a matter of fact, he had done less than nothing even BEFORE he became the president! He was a junior Senator who was a… what was it? Oh, yeah, community organizer… I have yet to really have the definition of that occupation provided to me… outside of the ACORN definition, that is.

Well, at any rate, I could say that it’s not surprising that Obama won because he is, after all, the Messiah, and I’m not surprised that the whole world is puckering up to kiss his ass, but that would be a lie. I am surprised. Very. And, judging by the gasp heard round the world, so was everyone else including President Obama himself. Today he said, “Let me be clear. I do not view it as recognition of my own accomplishments but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations”.  Well, Mr. Rock-Star-Prez, let ME be clear,  this is not YOU winning the Nobel Peace Prize. This is George W. Bush NOT winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Does the world outside of America really need to keep telling us how much they hated Bush? Hey, you guys like the semi-socialist, pansy version of America. We get it already.

Let’s be honest, though. The Nobel Prize lost all validity the day they gave it to Yasser Arafat for “efforts to create peace in the Middle East”. Not to mention that crazy old anti-Semite, Jimmy Carter, back in 2002. The lack of validity was only furthered when everyone’s favorite pompous hypocrite, Al Gore, won in 2007. So, forgive me if I am not overly impressed by the clearly politically motivated award. They might as well put them in Cracker Jack boxes, as far as I am concerned. But, silly me, I did think that you would have to have more than a 1 page resume to “earn” one of those babies. Obama said the award was “deeply humbling,” and said he doesn’t think he deserves to be in such good company.

Ya think?!?!?

Obama had only been in office for 11 days when he had been nominated. Every other person who won this award has been nominated for their life’s work (fruitless and fraudulent as it may be) not their WEEK’S WORK! Last year when I was in Washington, D.C. I took a tour of the Whitehouse and I was there for a whole 30 minutes. Where the hell is MY Nobel Peace Prize?

“O-M-G! I have never heard of that prize but I’m sure it’s like, even more awesome that a MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARD!” All we need now in Kanye West interrupting this award with a “I’mma let you finish” speech and the transformation from Community Organizer to rock star will be complete.

OMG best przdent eva

September 7, 2009

Well, you did it, America. You gave us a rock star in the White House. Thanks, so much for your participation. Thanks for nothing. Sorry, do I sound bitter? No use crying over spilled milk, I guess. Now we all just have to deal with it and (assuming capitalism is still somewhat intact in 4 years) deal with the issue in the next election.

If I had written this blog in December or even January, I would probably say something here like, “Prove me wrong, Mr. Obama. Prove us all wrong.” But, sadly, here we are in September and he is just making me more right everyday. In 9 months this guy has brought admitted communists to the White House to advise him, attempted to completely socialize the best health care system in the world and he hasn’t even stopped campaigning! Van Jones finally resigned this weekend which is good for him because I would hate to see what the “angry mobs” of conservatives would do if he didn’t… probably make big signs and peacefully protest somewhere and get no news coverage… oh, wait, that is already happening. What are we supposed to do? Bomb buildings? No thanks. That’s more Bill Ayers style and he is just a nut job terrorist… right, Mr. Obama?

I have a bumper sticker on my (Iraqi oil guzzling) SUV that says “How’s that whole hopey-changey thing working out for you?”  The “change” he making is scary change. So scary it is comical. Well, it would be if it weren’t true… what IS comical is that a (dangerous far right wing extremist) conservative like myself wishes EVERY DAY that Hillary Clinton was the president. But, no. Thank you people who never voted before and college kids and people who never EVER paid any attention to the world around them. Thanks so much for rolling out of bed before 2 p.m. for the 1st time in your adult life. You may now go back to not caring about any real issues. I waited in that voting line for 2 hours in the rain with people who said things like, “See? This is why I don’t ever vote.” Yeah. I’m sure that’s why. As if it was ever like that before the 2nd coming of the Messiah.

I’m not saying that all the people who voted for Obama are a drain on society. That is absurd. I’m not even saying they are all people who don’t care, but a HUGE portion of those people are people who know nothing about the world they live in and simply wanted to be able to say they voted for Obama because it was so “in” to do so. Look, I’m in favor of making history and the history that was made by electing the first black president is not lost on me. I think that aspect of it all is great. But, people, he was the WRONG GUY for the job! Oh, but McCain was… old. Yeah, look at him, he’s… old.

Well, you got your change. We have a dude in the White House that Hollywood-types seem to think we need to “serve”.  What the hell? He is supposed to SERVE the people! Not the other way around. I, for one, will sleep with 1 eye open to see to it that capitalism is not ignored and we are not just ”led to it” like the genius Bill Maher would like. My GOD I wish we had Hillary. Honestly, it doesn’t even make me shudder when I say it anymore. Now THAT is creepy.

The bitch is back!

September 2, 2009

Alright, punks, if you know me personally, you know that the last year plus have been very hard for me and my family. Without getting into the details, I will just say, I’m BACK! Look for a new post from me within the next week. Do you really think I could stay silent while socialism abounds?!?! Bitch, please!

true. story.

Looks like the endorsements for Obama keep rolling in! Guess who is endorsing him now? Let’s see… oh, lookee there! It’s Castro! http://www.forbes.com/business/2008/05/26/castro-obama-cuba-markets-face-cx_ra_0526autofacescan05.html Turns out, if everyone’s favorite tyrant, Fidel Castro, had a vote in this election he would be voting for Obama. Well, there’s a shocker!

And just last week, grade-A madman, Kim Jong Il, endorsed our main man, Obama, too.  http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/WTARC/2008/ea_nkorea0256_06_19.asp

Those endorsements pretty much speak for themselves. I mean, if he is good enough for the world’s communists and crazies, then shouldn’t he be good enough to run the democracy of the most powerful country in the world? As far as I am concerned, the election is just a formality. Can’t we just make Obama the king or something? Or vote him the Messiah? If you believe the main stream media, Obama is pretty much Jesus, himself.

It’s not as if any of us should care about anything that Cuba’s former President has to say (unless it happens to be “Goodbye cruel world”) but, am I the only one who is just a little bit concerned by this? I guess you could argue that this is good news for Obama because it shows that other countries are eager to work with Obama. The part that scares me, however, it that Obama is eager to work with them. We have all heard it said that Obama wants to “sit down” with Iran. Is that supposed to be a good thing? Is it supposed to make me feel good that Obama doesn’t feel that it is necessary to visit our soldiers in Iraq, but he wants to go hug it out with Iran? He wants to bring validity to Iran’s government? Great! Let’s elect a dude who won’t visit our soldiers but has no problem having tea with terrorists! Let’s elect a guy who just figured out where the Senate men’s room was 6 months ago. Why bother? Why don’t we just elect Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn or one of those other Hollywood political geniuses? Maybe Obama can bring them along to Iran and they can all teach the world to sing.

We are talking about terrorists. They don’t care if you are black, white, Democrat or Republican. If you are American or Israeli they want you dead. Who does not understand that? They kill Americans. They KILL AMERICANS and the man who wants to be the President of the United States wants to go over and have talks with them! This is not Russia in the 80’s, Mr. Obama. This is not a civilized government with a sane leader that we merely disagree with! This is terrorism and they believe it is a Holy War. There is no negotiating with Charles Manson and there is no negotiating with Iran.

I am not saying that Obama is a terrorist sympathizer. I am not even saying that he is an idiot. I am just saying that he better hope that this election doesn’t come down to experience or foreign policy knowledge or anything of any relevance to the country. He better hope it comes down to who has the biggest rock star receptions and who is the dreamiest candidate. Because, that is a competition he could actually win.

I anxiously await Obama’s endorsement from Hugo Chavez… and CBS news.

You got to hand it to Obama. He is the only person who can piss on our shoes and tell us it’s raining with a smile on his face.

Take, for example, this whole mess about his minister, Jeremiah Wright. Wow. What a “man of God” this guy is. Forget all that “Love thy neighbor” stuff. The New Testiment is apparently SO outdated. The only thing more amazing to me than the hateful tripe this guy spews out, is how many people go to his church every week to witness it.

The optimist in me tells me that most of the people in the congregation don’t really believe most of what Wright says. The optimist in me hasn’t really got much to base that opinion on except that there aren’t any race riots going on in Chicago as we speak. 

My more logical (more outspoken) side tells me that the good Reverend is preaching a message of hate to a volatile population. He is inciting anger in a place like a church where he should be offering inspiration. Sure, Wright isn’t the only grade A dumb-ass in America preaching hate and politics from the pulpit. He just happens to be the only grade A dumb-ass that is the Barack Obama’s spiritual mentor. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/custom/religion/chi-070121-relig_wright,1,271630.story?page=1&coll=chi-religion-topheadlines&ctrack=1&cset=true

 If Obama wants to belong to a radical church with a racist minister, then, fine. But, don’t stand there and talk about “hope” and “change” and “bringing the country together” and then sit in a pew every Sunday morning and hear about how America is the evil empire and the white man is holding you down! You want to be the President and you are an active member of a church that preaches hate about ”white America” and is more concerned with South Africa than it is America? The church gave an award to Louis Farrakhan, for Pete’s sake. Obama likened Wright to  an “old uncle” with whom he doesn’t always agree. But, the only problem with that warm and fuzzy image is, he’s not his uncle. You don’t get to pick your uncle, you get to pick your minister! The church you attend is a representation of your faith and belief system. Is this the kind of faith and belief system that we want guiding the future of our great nation?

I’m not even going to bother saying what if it was a white minster saying these things about black people. I’m not even going to say that if this was McCain’s minister he would have had to drop out of the presidential race already. I’ll just say this, if Obama wanted to stop the rumors about him being a muslim, well, mission accomplished, my friend.

Fight the power, kill whitey, I mean…. God damn BLESS America.

I really HOPE we can CHANGE the focus of this Presidential election to issues that actually matter.

I am so tired of hearing about HOPE and CHANGE from Obama. If all we needed was HOPE then you would be reading my blog from the Washington Post website and I would be writing it from Maui.

Obama’s campaign is based on these 2 words that mean relatively nothing. Obama has no record to back up his Presidential aspirations. He is a Junior Senator. He has yet to complete 1 term in the U.S. Senate. All he has is a couple of buzz words and a nice smile. But, nonetheless, half of America is following this empty suit with a 1 page resume like he is the second coming.

Why? Because we are Americans. We don’t like things that make us think. We don’t read instructions or nutrition labels and we sure the hell don’t over think our politics. We want it given to us just as plain and simple as you can make it. Some will say that this is why John McCain’s so-called “Straight Talk” works so well. Some would be correct. But, the difference is, when McCain is questioned about the issues, he has real answers about his policies and his platform. Barack Obama has “HOPE” and ”CHANGE”. 

Change is not always a good thing. If change comes at the hand of someone who is practically a communist, we may not be so in favor of it. Change for the sake of change is just dangerous. But, the truth is, Obama probably wouldn’t CHANGE a whole lot of anything. Sure, he says he would, and that is so cute how he thinks he will just go into the oval office and overthrow Capitalism, but, honestly, we wouldn’t stand by and let much of that happen. Then where does all that CHANGE go? Right out the window, that’s where. 

Let’s consider the other, more frightening, possibility. Obama does begin to change things in the way that he sees fit and all of us “average Americans” aren’t really paying attention. (NO! Not us!) Then what? Before we know it we have an immediate troop withdrawal, socialized health care, a massive illegal alien invasion and taxes so high that we actually envy Canada.

According to the National Journal’s 27th annual vote ratings, Obama was THE MOST liberal member of senate in 2007.  http://nj.nationaljournal.com/voteratings/ Wow. The most liberal! More liberal than Ted Kennedy and, yes, more liberal than Hillary Clinton. Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Maybe the question we should be asking is not if America can handle having a black President. Maybe the question we should be asking is if Barack Obama can handle being the President. Take a look at his proposed budget. Here you go, kids. If you want an example of a nanny state, this is it. http://www.gop.com/obamaspendometer.htm  Forget working hard for what you have. Forget the “American way”. It kind of makes Bill Clinton look like a total fascist, doesn’t it? I, for one, would rather move to France than hand my paycheck over to Obama for all of his social projects.

 I can only HOPE some people read up on Obama and CHANGE their votes. In the meantime, I’ll just happily sit back with John McCain and watch the democrats beat the piss out of each other a while longer. If it’s one thing I know about the democrats it’s that they’d rather destroy each other and push their fringe left agenda, than win.  Oh, yeah, that’s the stuff conservative dreams are made of.

The McCain Pep Talk

February 8, 2008

john-mccain2.jpg

Well, that settles it. Stick a fork in Mitt. He’s done. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8ULL1R00&show_article=1 

I guess that leaves McCain as the last man standing. Hooray? Not so much.

Yeah, I voted for McCain (oh the shame) but, there is a part of me that was really hoping Romney would pull it off at the last second. That part would, of course, be my conscience.

I am not exactly jumping for joy that McCain is our man. My main reason for giving my vote to McCain is  exactly what a recent campaign ad of his pointed out: McCain is the only one who can beat Hillary or Obama. That is the most important thing to me and it should be to all conservatives. Nothing scares me more than socialized health care and troop withdrawal dates.

So, Limbaugh and Coulter want to say that they will support Hillary Clinton? GREAT! Go ahead, back Hillary in the name of publicity and ratings! I honestly think she may be easier to beat than Obama. I know plenty of democrats that can’t stand her, let alone republicans. I am not in love with McCain but, no one will be able to convince me that he is worse for America than either one of the democrats.

When it comes down to it, would you rather we have a left leaning republican or a far left democrat? Sometimes you just have to vote for the lesser of 2 evils.

So, swallow your pride Republicans. Man up! Grow a pair and admit that McCain is the only choice that we have! We have to stop whining and sounding like a bunch of spoiled liberals (I’m looking at you, Glenn Beck). We have to back McCain and sell him to the hard right because when republicans don’t vote, America loses! We can’t afford to lose anything right now, especially not the war.

Let us try to forget the fact that McCain is not a “true” conservative. Let us instead, wake up and realize that he is the only one running with any conservative values. If that is my only choice, I’ll take it. Besides, McCain is more conservative than people give him credit for. I disagree with him on many things but, the fact is he is strong on terrorism, fiscal responsibility and (for all you bible thumpers) he is pro-life. He may not be the perfect conservative, but he is the only conservative we have. We will just have to keep our fingers crossed about the environment and immigration.

So, quit your grumbling and put that McCain bumper sticker on your car. I will if you will. Ready? Set? You go first.

 Where the heck is Jack Kemp when you need him? 

I have decided to vote for John McCain.

Now, before you start screaming “traitor”, hear me out. John McCain is not exactly America’s most conservative Senator. I know that. I have issues with his stance on immigration. I have issues with campaign finance reform. But, the truth is, at this point McCain may be the only Republican I actually respect.

I like Mitt Romney. I think he is smart and God knows he is attractive (but, if all I care about is smart and attractive then I might as well vote for John Edwards, God forbid). The thing that I don’t like about Romney is that he wants to test the water before he gives his opinions. He wants to see what America thinks before he tells us what he thinks. I don’t like that and I don’t trust that. I really want a President that can think for himself.

I like Mike Huckabee. Who doesn’t? (Well, besides Romney.) Huckabee is a NICE guy. I am a sucker for the “awe shucks” candidate. But, Huck has a bad habit. He says a lot of stupid stuff. It’s like he just says whatever comes to his mind. He says insulting things that he may or may not mean as an insult and he throws religion around a lot. http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Huckabee_Amend_Constitution_to_meet_Gods_0115.html He reminds me of a certain President that has the lowest approval rating in history. Another guy I really like. I won’t tell you his name but his initials are George W. Bush. I can just look at “Dubya” and see what Huck would be like in office… daily media beatings and the but of world wide jokes. Yeah, I don’t think we need another guy like Bush.

Thompson doesn’t even want to be the President and who can blame him? He would be the perfect conservative candidate if he actually changed out of his house slippers and did a little stumping.

Rudy? Well, if I were to vote for him, I would have to admit to myself that character doesn’t matter. And it DOES matter. Rudy strikes me as shady and untrustworthy. I think he is a bad ass, which I like. But, being tough might be his only good quality. That is not good enough for me.

If nothing else, this election comes down to experience and character. The only candidate that has the experience to win and end this war is John McCain. McCain has been right about the war since day 1. The only candidate with character that I trust to do what he believes is right (even if I don’t agree with him) is John McCain. John McCain is the only choice as far as I can see. I guess if it came down to it, I would vote for Romney. And, let’s be honest, ANY of the Republicans (including that loon, Ron Paul) are better than either one of the democrats… especially Monica Lewinsky’s ex-boyfriend’s wife.

Aren’t we past this yet?

Mitt Romney recently gave a speech on his faith (all faiths, really) and their place in American Government. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,315486,00.html He did a fantastic job. It was inspiring and well executed. Was it Kennedy’s speech of 47 years ago? No. Are we America of 47 years ago? No. Maybe that is why I find the whole thing so frustrating. I know that Romney needed to make that speech. I know that there are a lot of people out there who would rather nominate an Atheist than a Mormon. There are people (even within my own family) who will tell you that The Church Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a cult. I am not one of them. If you can call LDS a cult, then, really, what ISN’T a cult?

I was raised in a Pentecostal family. I am now a practicing Methodist. Admittedly, I have never been to a Mormon church. But, I know plenty of Mormons. I will tell you that I don’t know everything there is to know about being a Mormon. But, I have met lots of them and the ones I know are kind and giving people. The kind of people that the rest of our Christian faiths wish we had more of. The kind of people who walk the walk and talk the talk. I have never known a Mormon to judge me unfairly for being a Methodist. So, it drives me a little nuts when people judge Romney because he is a Mormon. If anything, I think it makes me like him and trust him a little more! I may not agree with or understand the doctrine of LDS, but at least the man has convictions! Doesn’t that mean something? It doesn’t matter what church he goes to. It matters how he lives his life and what kind of character he has.

I don’t know all there is to know about the Mormon religion. But, apparently I know more than Mike Huckabee does! Huck, who is a Southern Baptist minister, asked a New York Times reporter this week: “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” Huckabee came out today and said that the question was taken out of context and that they were in the middle of a long conversation. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1207/7357.html Does that excuse it? Are you kidding me? I don’t know if they beleive that Jesus and the devil are brothers. I don’t care if they do. HEY! I hear that the Catholics PRAY to MARY! That’s NUTS! Irony? Anyone?

Now, I’m not Glenn Beck (and I swear to Jesus and his brother that if Glenn doesn’t stop talking about the Mormon issue, blood is going to shoot out of MY eyes) but, I do believe in an American’s right to practice whatever religion they want. Not voting for Romney simply because he is a Mormon would make me an idiot the same way that voting for Romney simply because he is a Mormon would make me an idiot. Maybe this hits a little too close to home for me. As I said, I was raised in the Pentecostal faith and even though I made a choice not to practice that religion, I have to tell you, I am still pretty sensitive about people poking fun at the “snake handlers”.  Those fundamentalist crazies are my family!

I said that to say this, what religion, if you take a good, long, logical look at it, does NOT sound crazy?

We have no right to judge Mitt Romney on the basis of his religion. We do, however, have a right to judge Mike Huckabee on the basis of his stupid questions. Ok, so maybe he was just trying to get the answer to a rumor he heard about the Mormon religion. Or, maybe he said it to get people thinking about the dangers of the LDS church? Which is worse? Either way, that is a scary scenario.

We already have a President, bless his heart, who can’t speak intelligently and who many consider a religious nut… I for one, don’t want to go through this last 8 years again.

Never have I felt more like telling John McCain and George W. Bush to stick something in their pipes and smoke it!

If you don’t know what I am referring to, perhaps you didn’t catch the latest (largely IGNORED) story about terrorists targeting an Army base… IN ARIZONA! http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071126/NATION/111260034/1001 

With the aid of Mexican drug cartels, possibly up to 60 Afghan and Iraqi terrorists were to be smuggled into the U.S. through underground tunnels and were planning an attack on Fort Huachuca, just outside of Tucson, Arizona.

This story hits a little close to home for me… litterally. Tucson is my home town. All of my immediate family lives there and most of my good friends. My best friend lives only a few miles from Fort Huachuca and her husband (who is in Iraq right now) is based out of there.

Here is the real problem with illegal immigration.

I am from Tucson. It is a border city. No one knows how dangerous open borders are more than someone who lived with them. But, yet, if I say that I am against illegal immigration, that just makes me a racist, doesn’t it? It couldn’t possibly be because I love this country and want to keep it secure! No! The public would rather beleive what the left spoon feeds them! That if I am against amnesty for undocumented ILLEGAL aliens, then I must own a pointy white hat! This kind of thinking and this kind of generallizing is the real danger. Political correctness is killing America.

 I am not a racist.

 I shouldn’t have to say that before I say that I want a damn WALL and the National Guard at the border of my country! I am not anti-Mexican. I am pro-America! Sure, when I lived it Tucson, it pissed me off as much as any tax payer to go into the Emergency room that 1/2 of Mexico decides to use as their own free health clinic. My friends would tell me the stories of their elementary school age children getting their homework pages sent home to them in Spanish! It infuriated me when my mother and 2 brothers were nearly killed in a car accident because they were hit by an illegal Mexican immigrant with no driver’s license and no car insurance. I hear the stories everyday (no thanks to the main stream media) about the illegal immigrants who commit all kinds of heinous crimes. http://www.immigrationshumancost.org/text/crimevictims.html  Of course, this is an outrage!

Let us not forget that immigration policies are put into place to protect Americans, not to harm immigrants. Sometimes, unfortunately, well meaning people do get harmed, and that is a shame. And, yes, we all need our lawns mowed and our houses built. But immigration policies are about NATIONAL SECURITY and that should be priority #1!

Write your congressman! Keep the terrorists and drug dealers out of your country!  Don’t let the military base in your town be the one that they sucessfully attack!
