Remember, They Support The Troops, Just Not The Mission

Remember that line the lefties used when they held their "anti-war" protests? In reality they were nothing more than anti-Republican and anti-American protests. Need proof? Notice how the protests have completely stopped? And what's changed? Is the Iraq or Afghanistan war over? Yet the protestors have disappeared.

Anyway, they would always make it a point to say how they supported the troops, just not the war. I guess now that they no longer have to hide their contempt for the military, it's becoming very obvious.

The NY Post reports:

Columbia University students heckled a war hero during a town-hall meeting on whether ROTC should be allowed back on campus.

"Racist!" some students yelled at Anthony Maschek, a Columbia freshman and former Army staff sergeant awarded the Purple Heart after being shot 11 times in a firefight in northern Iraq in February 2008. Others hissed and booed the veteran.

Maschek, 28, had bravely stepped up to the mike Tuesday at the meeting to issue an impassioned challenge to fellow students on their perceptions of the military.

Pretty classy, huh? This man was shot 11 times and is heckled at a meeting. I wonder if these leftist geniuses realize that it's because of people like Staff Sergeant Anthony Maschek that they can spew their hate and ignorance.

Several students laughed and jeered the Idaho native, a 10th Mountain Division infantryman who spent two years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington recovering from grievous wounds.

Maschek, who is studying economics, miraculously survived the insurgent attack in Kirkuk. In the hail of gunfire, he broke both legs and suffered wounds to his abdomen, arm and chest

Sounds like the kind of guy to call "Racist!" and to heckle. Don't forget, that these are the same liberals who claim to champion free speech.........as long as they agree with it.

Such a despicable lot.

Wisconsin Democrats: "Screw Democracy!!! We're not coming out until we get what we want!!"

This might be the most cowardly, bizarre, low, underhanded and flat out stupid things I've ever seen from the democrats.

Apparently Wisconsin democrats, having suffered a historic beating in the last election, have decided to completely boycott new Governor Walkers vote on budget bill. The problem democrats have is that the bill will bascially strip the unions of their power. Union execs and members, fat and happy off of government money, are angry. So angry that many schools had to close because the teachers didn't show up for work, but remember: "It's all about the children!!!"

How does this story get bizarre? Well, since the dems cannot stop the budget bill from passing (they completely lack the votes to do so now), they did not show up at the vote like they were REQUIRED to do.

The latest twist is that the dems have turned up in a hotel in Illinois, refusing to return to work until they get their way!!

Hot Air has the latest:

Dems located at hotel in Illinois

Wisconsin state Democrats who refused to show up for a vote on Governor Walker’s budget repair bill have been located.

The lawmakers are in Rockford, Illinois at the Best Western Clock Tower Resort.
Law enforcement officials have been looking for at least one Democratic senator to bring in for a quorum required for a fiscal measure, but Democratic Senator Jon Erpenbach confirmed to Newsradio 620 WTMJ that he and all of his Democratic colleagues boarded a bus and left the state…

According to the Twitter account of Democrat State Senator Chris Larson from Bay View, “For those looking for us, we are right here, standing with the people of Wisconsin.”

Hilarious!!!! Last time I checked "The people" voted you out and now since they cannot cater to the unions, they are refusing to go to work.

Cowards and traitors, all.

Now. The Greatest Commercial EVER!!!!

After Historic Losses In Elections, Democrat blames............Racism?

Not shocking at all, if you think about it. As we all know on January 20, 2009 dissent went from being patriotic to racist, violent hatred. Why? Because nobody could possibly disagree with Obama without being a vile racist!!

Fox News has the story:

Virginia Democratic Rep. Jim Moran is blaming his party's losses last November in large part on voters who "don't want to be governed by an African-American."

Asked about the results of the midterm elections, the Virginia congressman compared the political environment to that which preceded the Civil War and suggested race was a determining factor.

"It happened ... for the same reason the Civil War happened in the United States," Moran said. "Southern states, particularly the slaveholding states, didn't want to see a president who was opposed to slavery.

Gosh, Jim, you figured it out. It really has nothing to do with Obama's dangerous and failing policies. It has nothing to do with the trillion dollar stimulus that has achieved absolutely nothing. It has nothing to do with the unemployment rate hovering around 9.5%. It has nothing to do with your continued incompetence in foreign affairs. It's just because he's black. You're too smart, Jim. You caught us.

This may go down as one of the all time most idiotic things ever said and considering some of the idiotic things said by democrats over the years, that says a lot.

Feel Good Story of the Year!!!

Ok, I know the year is only 5 days old, but it's still a great story. Apparently a 71 year old father of NINE, who was down on his luck, was discovered recently.

The video appeared on YouTube a few days ago:

Listen to this guys voice!!!!!!!!!! It's one of those voices you would never expect coming from someone that looks like him! There's a small interview on this video as well and you can see he is intelligent, just had some bad luck.



Well, the story doesn't end there! A few days after this video went public, this guy got several job offers including one from the Cleveland Cavaliers! They have also offered to help him buy a house!

Fox News has the story:

The Cleveland Cavaliers have offered a job and a house to a homeless man with a golden radio voice.

Ted Williams, whose deep baritone and plight have made him an online video sensation, was first contacted Wednesday by the NBA team during an interview on a local Columbus radio station.

Go get 'em, Ted!!!!

Giants V Minnesota Game Postponed

I had NO idea that the roof of the Minnesota Metrodome was INFLATABLE!!!!!!

Check out what happens when an inflatable roof meets 20+ inches of snow!!!!



Amazing!!!!

Democrat Suggests That Bush Tax Cuts Should Be Renewed............. But Only In Blue Sates

Once again, every time I think the dems have gone as low as they possibly can, they surprise me. Take Representative Jerrold Nadler (D, NY) who has suddenly awoken to the fact that when Bush tax cuts expire, the fat cats that donate to HIM will get soaked with new taxes. His solution? Continue the Bush tax cuts, but only in blue states.
Democrats: Say, Let’s Exempt Rich People in Blue States From Tax Hike!

The Journal notes that the “irony” of the tax increase coming on January 1 is that the bluest states will be hardest hit. New York, California, Connecticut, and New Jersey will be hit pretty hard and this poses a “problem” for those pro-tax Democrats that will suddenly find rich constituents who will be angry about the new hit on their income.

But, Representative Jerrold Nadler (D, NY) has come up with the perfect solution. Nadler wants to pass a law that exempts his rich constituents and those of other taxpayers in areas with a higher cost of living, i.e. other Democrats. The Journal reveals that Nadler’s new law would “require the IRS to adjust tax brackets proportionally in regions where the average cost of living is higher than the national average.”

In other words, the various tax brackets would apply to residents in certain regions at higher income levels versus other parts of the country. A family with an income of $50,000 or even $1 million in Manhattan would pay less federal income tax than a family with the same earnings in Omaha. The bill is called the Tax Equity Act, but a more accurate title would be the Blue State Tax Preference Act.

Imagine that, eh? A Democrat that wants the coming tax hike to affect only Republican states. Who wudda thunk it?

Imagine that, indeed.

OUTRAGEOUS!! Obama Administration Condoned Release Of Murdering Libyan Terrorist

So, it appears, that Barack Obama and company had no problem with the release of Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, in fact it helped to "craft" the reason for the release.

JamieWearingFool has the story:

Barack Obama's administration urged Edinburgh to base the release of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds, it has emerged.

Newspapers had quoted a letter from Richard LeBaron, deputy head of the US Embassy in London, to Scottish first minister Alex Salmond.

It read: "If Scottish authorities come to the conclusion that Megrahi must be released from custody, the US position is that conditional release on compassionate grounds would be a far preferable alternative to prisoner transfer."

So upon learning upon the possible release of a terrorist who murdered 270 innocent people, including 190 Americans, Obama wanted to at least make sure the reason for the release SOUNDED good. Truly despicable.

Why? What could Obama possibly have to gain by appearing to be completely indifferent to the release of a convicted terrorist?

US POLITICIANS demanding to know if BP lobbied for the release of the Lockerbie bomber were yesterday accused of taking a fortune in donations from the oil giant.

President Barack Obama is said to have received $71,051- around £46,000 - and his secretary of state Hillary Clinton $6700 from the firm that both have savaged since the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Clinton has led the calls for the SNP government to explain their decision to send cancer-stricken Abdelbaset al-Megrahi home to Libya last August.

Don't look for this to get much, if any, press in our one party media. They have much more important things to worry about, apparently. Can you imagine if this were a Republican administration that were accused of such things?

Be sure and read the entire article.

Yet ANOTHER reason to be sure and vote this November as well as in 2012.

Morgan Freeman Solves The Race Issue

I remember seeing this video a few years ago, but I have seen it more lately after the ridiculously drawn out episode involving Shirley Sherrod.

I really like Morgan Freeman so hearing words like this coming out of Hollywood was quite refreshing. Take a listen:



Amen!

Thankful Mother Of Palestinian Baby Saved By Israelis: "I hope he becomes a suicide bomber!!!"

It seems the hate of some people knows no bounds.

Via Gateway Pundit:

In Sheba’s pediatric hemato-oncology department was Mohammed Abu Mustafa, a four-and-a-half-month-old Palestinian infant. Protruding from his tiny body were pipes attached to big machines. His breathing was labored.

“His days may be numbered. He is suffering from a genetic defect that is causing the failure of his immune system,” said the baby’s mother, Raida, from the Gaza Strip, when she emerged from the isolation room. “I had two daughters in Gaza,” she continued, her black eyes shimmering. “Both died because of immune deficiency. In Gaza I was told all the time that there is no treatment for this and that he is doomed to die. The problem now is how to pay for the [bone marrow] transplant. There is no funding.”

“I got to her after all the attempts to find a donation for the transplant had failed,” [Eldar] relates. “I understood that I was the baby’s last hope, but I didn’t give it much of a chance. At the time, Qassam rockets falling on Sderot opened every newscast. In that situation, I didn’t believe that anyone would be willing to give a shekel for a Palestinian infant.”

He was wrong. Hours after the news item about Mohammed was broadcast, the hospital switchboard was jammed with callers. An Israeli Jew whose son died during his military service donated $55,000, and for the first time the Abu Mustafa family began to feel hopeful. Only then did Eldar grasp the full dramatic potential of the story. He told his editor, Tali Ben Ovadia, that he wanted to continue accompanying the family.

So, to paraphrase, this woman's child was near death. When the news got out about it many people, including many ISRAELIS, came to the child's rescue to save the little ones life. So, how does this mother thank those responsible? By hoping that her child grows up.........to kill them.

After Mohammed gets well, I will certainly want him to be a shahid. If it’s for Jerusalem, then there’s no problem. For you it is hard, I know; with us, there are cries of rejoicing and happiness when someone falls as a shahid. For us a shahid is a tremendous thing.”

A Shahid is a suicide bomber. Unbelievable.

How does someone develop this attitude?

“It is a regular thing,” she smiles at him. “Life is not precious. Life is precious, but not for us. For us, life is nothing, not worth a thing. That is why we have so many suicide bombers. They are not afraid of death. None of us, not even the children, are afraid of death. It is natural for us.

The religion of "Peace" strikes again.

Golda Meir once said:

“We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us”

It doesn't look like that day will ever arrive.
