Understatement of the day

Can you guess who said it before clicking?

“She’s a smart, tough politician, so I think she’s going to be very formidable,”

Considering Biden does a terrific job at making himself look stupid all by himself, these debates could be very awkward and ugly, or hilarious, depending on your viewpoint. My viewpoint will be the latter.

Conservative Blacks Leaning Towards Obama

From OneNewsNow.com.

Well, I guess that would just make them blacks then, not conservatives. Did it even once cross my mind to vote for Hillary because she is a woman and I, too, am female? Nope.

My biggest disappointment? J. C. Watts. I would have never dreamed this, even in my worst nightmares that he would be this racist:

J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he’s thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he’s still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them.

“And Obama highlights that even more,” Watts said, adding that he expects Obama to take on issues such as poverty and urban policy. “Republicans often seem indifferent to those things.”

How, exactly does the DemonRat party reach out to the black community? By preaching to them that they are not as smart or capable as whites, and the only way they can achieve anything is through affirmative action? By giving them government handouts, with the message, “Because we know you can’t make it on your own.”?

Am I to apologize for being part of a party that doesn’t make distinguishments based on the color of someone’s skin?

At least some fellow conservatives still remain true to the cause versus their skin color:

Michael Steele, the Republican former lieutenant governor of Maryland who lost a Senate race there in 2006, said he is proud of Obama as a black man, but that “come November, I will do everything in my power to defeat him.” Electing Obama, he said, would not automatically solve the woes of the black community.

“I think people who try to put this sort of messianic mantle on Barack’s nomination are a little bit misguided,” he said.

Me too Mr. Steele.  :)

Weekly Roundup on Sunday

I never done a weekly roundup before, but OneNewsNow is just full of good stories for the week.

Happy Birthday Israel! Turning 60?! Awesome. No nation has ever fit the bill as a miracle nation like the Israel does. Even more exciting — God told us in His Word that they would be a nation again. I’m getting ready to head to church or I’d leave references. Feel free to leave them in the comment section (Neil). :) Anyway, as frustrating as politics are right now, we are living in EXCITING times and Bible prophecy is being fulfilled each and every day.

Israeli activist, Gary Bauer, is urging the U.S. State Department to make sure former President Carter doesn’t run a muck the world meeting with and endorsing terrorists organizations:

Bauer, president of the conservative group American Values, says it is dangerous for Carter to grant legitimacy to the terrorist group. “This trip is an absolute disaster. It’s counter to the national security interest of the United States, and I want to call on the State Department to seriously consider revoking former President Carter’s visa so that this sort of trip cannot be done again. It is damaging to the interests of the United States,” Bauer contends.

I agree, but a reality check tells me this nut of an ex-President will continue in his asinine ways until he finally gets the chance to answer to God for his bone head foreign policy ideas. Ouch! I would not want to be Jimmuh on that day.

Guess what? National Right to Life is endorsing McCain! Really, what choice do they have?

National Right to Life has endorsed presumptive Republican nominee Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) for president. While McCain has not been considered the ideal candidate by most of the pro-life community, many consider him a much better choice than either Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) or Senator Barak Obama (D-Illinois).

And last but least, Californians had better start spanking their children while it’s still legal. I’m not saying that all children need spanked, but like it not, most do! I can pretty much guarantee you that our child would not be headed down the path of success if proper discipline had not been part of her upbringing.

The legislation is a resurrected version of Democrat Sally Lieber’s bill from last year, minus the outright spanking ban. The bill prohibits using “implements” such as wooden spoons, paddles, rolled-up newspapers, switches, belts, or brushes — essentially, allowing only the hand.

Randy Thomasson of Campaign for Children and Families warns that if the bill is approved, the penalty for their use is severe. “You’re going to be arrested, handcuffed, taken to the police station, [and be] charged,” he details. Thomasson says that once a parent is charged, then a jury will determine if it was reasonable for that parent to administer a spanking.

Not to start a parenting lesson here, but I truly believe spanking your child with your hand is wrong. Not to mention, very ineffective.

Well, I have to run to church. My apologies in advance if this post is full of typos — that’s what we get when we type with one hand and get in a hurry! :)

A Dem Throwing His Hat in the Ring

knut_berlin_polar_bear.jpg

From the Casper Star Tribune, I learn that a professor from UW is running against Senator Enzi. I would say, “Good luck with that.” Except for I wouldn’t mean it.

“We need a fresh group of policy makers that are willing to put the needs of their country, and the needs of their states, ahead of their personal rivalries and the desires of their political party — individuals who seek solutions through bipartisan collaboration and support, rather than through the simple tyrrany of the majority party,” Rothfuss said during his candidacy announcement.

Last I checked, the DemonRats were the tyrants with the majority.

To be clear, the good Senator Enzi has not announced whether or not he’ll be seeking reelection. Let’s hope he does.

On a personal note, is that a cute picture of Knut or what?

Guess that politician’s party

partygame.jpgIt’s been awhile since we’ve played the fun game of guessing which political party a convicted criminal belongs to. I felt obliged to post on it after spending 2 minutes of my life reading about this:

A businessman was convicted Wednesday of faking his disappearance after a car crash two years ago to draw attention to his long-shot congressional campaign.

Does it surprise anyone that I had to read the entire article before finding out which party this guy was campaigning for? Seriously, the last sentence? This is just too much fun.

Don’t cheat, try and guess before you get to the end.

$845 Billion Dollar Obama Bill

From OneNewsNow:

Cliff Kincaid, president of America’s Survival, states he is very concerned about Obama’s legislation, which has already been approved by a voice vote in the Senate Armed Services Committee and is similar to a bill passed by the House last year (H.R. 1302). Kincaid says the Senate bill would commit the United States to $845 billion in foreign aid over a 13-year period.

“This bill subordinates U.S. foreign policy to the U.N. and commits us to fulfill what are called the U.N. Millennium goals — that is, 0.7 percent of GNP to foreign aid. And that means we’ve got to come up $845 billion,” he laments.

Global taxes anyone? Is this one of the changes he’s always shooting his pie hole off about? Is this what they refer to as progressive?

It has a stench of global communism to my nostrils.

A Cowboy Funny

I received this via email and it made me chuckle:ranching-image1.jpg

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture
in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud
towards him.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses
and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, “If I tell you
exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a
calf?”

Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully
grazing herd and calmly answers; “Sure, Why not?”

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects
it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the
Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his
location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area
in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports
it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany

Within mere seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image
has been processed and the data is stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL
database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his
Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his
hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy
and says, “You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.”

“That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,” says Bud.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as
the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then the Bud says to the young m an, “Hey, if I can tell you exactly what
your business is, will you give me back my calf?”

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, “Okay, why not?”

“You’re a Congressman for the U.S. Government”, says Bud.

“Wow! That’s correct,” says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?”

“No guessing required.”, answered the cowboy. “You showed up here
even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I
already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much
smarter than me you are; and you don’t know a thing about cows…this is a
herd of sheep. . . .Now give me back my dog.

Lol! Do you think it was Obama?

Still Think We’re Exaggerating?

obama-che.jpg

Wow! Not sure why I’d be surprised, but I am a little. Hat Tip to Allah at HotAir. I guess we all know that if we vote DemonRat, we’re voting for the communist party. This just proves it.

So, click the HotAir link and go from there. Dang! I really hate commies.

UPDATE: Jeffrey over at Scoffery.com asks some very relevant questions regarding this.

Show me baseball in the Constitution

mitchellgeorge.jpg

Seriously, I do not claim to be an expert on the document. However, it is a fairly short and simple document, compared to what many are led to believe. Regardless, here we have Congress beginning another delve into baseball. Am I crazy when I think this group of blow hards (Congressmen, not baseball players) should actually be doing other things?

I’m simply disgusted by their lack of understanding of what they are elected for.
