Little Tidbit of Information

I really hope that the great people of Massachusettes have the where-with-all to not vote Barney Frank (Elmer Fudd) back for another term. I really don't know how anyone can take that man seriously (for starters) and how, after all the mess that he persided over, they can let him stay in and ruin us even more.
I'm sure you have heard by now where he said that we need to cut military spending by 25%:

After the November election, Democrats will push for a second economic stimulus package that includes money for the states' stalled infrastructure projects, along with help paying for healthcare expenses, food stamps and extended unemployment benefits, U.S. Rep. Barney Frank said Thursday.

In a meeting with the editorial board of The Standard-Times, Rep. Frank, D-Mass., also called for a 25 percent cut in military spending, saying the Pentagon has to start choosing from its many weapons programs, and that upper-income taxpayers are going to see an increase in what they are asked to pay.

The military cuts also mean getting out of Iraq sooner, he said.

"The people of Iraq want us out, and we want to stay over their objection," he said. "It's extraordinary." The Maliki government in Iraq "can't sell (the withdrawal deal with the U.S.) because it sounds like we're going to stay too long."

"I was teasing (U.S. Rep.) Jack Murtha (a key supporter of military budgets) and I said to him, 'For the first time, somebody else has got a bill that's almost as big as yours.' We don't need all these fancy new weapons. I think there needs to be additional review."

How can anyone believe it is a good idea to cut military spending when we face the kinds of threats that we do now? How can anyone believe it is a good idea to cut military spending when our troops are in harms way on two fronts? Does he really believe that by cutting military spending by 25% that would make us get out of Iraq sooner? And if it does it wouldn't be on our terms, it would be a quick withdrawal because we dont have the money to be there and I think this would be even worse than Obama's misguided withdrawal date.
And how can he say that the Pentagon needs to pick between it's weapon's programs? Don't we want them to look into as many systems as they can to find the one that will best defend our troops in combat and us here at home?
He thinks "we don't need all these fancy new weapons"? Is he serious? What does he want our guys to go out with some revolutionary era bayonetts or something? Or better yet some rocks and sling shots? Or maybe spears. Our troops need to stay on top of the technology. They need to have the best of what is available to them so that they can get their job done and come home safe. How can we, in good consience, send them into harm's way with nothing but the best we can afford them? These very brave men and women go into harms way so that low-life POS's like Elmer Fudd there can sit back and try to cut their funding.
As part of a military family, I take it as an offense that this cartoon character of a person would even suggest this.
If they do cut spending by 25% and the military is forced to abandon some of their weapon's programs then maybe we should consider using Elmer Fudd as a human shield when we go into combat, our guys can just stand behind him with their slingshots at the ready.
By the way it's not just weapon's systems that the military budget supports. That includes all the morale and welfare money and pay.


By the way. I'm also getting really sick and tired of Obama and his camp saying that Bush only cut taxes for the rich. The Army Dude and I were talking about this the other day and I made the comment that I believed we paid lower taxes since Bush than we did before and he said we did. So I looked it up and sure enough. Bush didn't just cut taxes on the rich, he cut taxes for just about everyone. In 2000 we were in the 28% bracket in 2008 we are in the 25%. Let me tell you we are FAR from rich, so I don't buy the claim that only the rich have been helped. In fact, the lowest percentage in 2000 was 15%. Bush cut that down and now in 2008 it's 10%. that's 5%. Of course you don't hear about that part when they are shoving their talking points down our throats.

And finally. This is just sick. I debated if I should show the picture and I am because I want people to see just how hateful and nasty people can be:

It is just sick. And it's not a hate crime by the way. But the police dept. said that if it was an effigy of Obama hanging then it would have to be looked into to see it's a hate crime, because they are evaluated on a case by case basis. All hell would break lose and then it would be a hate crime. That is beyond hateful and if it would be consider hate for one then it should for another.

Granma America

Saturday I posted the clip of the Joe Biden interview. How dare this Florida anchor ask such tough questions!?
Not surprisingly the interview that was supposed to take place later with the Senator's wife was canceled and then the Obama campaign put out a statement that pretty much says that the station will not be able to interview the ticket until at least the election. Wow! That's really telling actually. If you go off the campaign script they'll just freeze you out.
Isn't that what happens in countries like, oh I don't know, Cuba?
What do you think the American State News service will be named?

I must say that Shep Smith has redeemed himself, ever so slightly LOL, today. Not only did he have "Joe the Plumber" on Studio B this afternoon (and didn't openly mock him like he has done) but he actually had some pretty harsh words about the Obama campaign cutting off access to that Orlando station for asking tough questions.





Here is the latest audio clip of Obama's to surface. This one comes from a 2001 interview. He was already talking about redistribution back then. It's got Fox and Friends commentary:



And of course the Obama campaign response to this little nugget of information was to attack none other than Fox News. Never mind that he said it or that Fox wasn't the one that broke the story but how dare they at Fox broadcast anything that does not show the one in the best of lights?
Here is a clip of Megyn Kelly giving Bill Burton a piece of her mind. It's so typical.
It's a little bit long but it's really worth the watch:



I must say that I was not a big fan of Megyn Kelly but in the last couple of months she has really impressed me.
But someone needs to tell them at Fox to watch out because they'll be the first ones to have their access cut off if Obama is coronated.

When the Tables Turn

So what happens when the tables turn and Joe Biden is the one asked the hard questions?



He gets pissed and acts like a jerk with the reporter. Wow, can you imagine if he had to sit through the interviews that Sarah Palin has had to. Or if Sarah Palin had behaved this way for an interview?
And how does the campaign respond? By denying access to the Senator's wife who was supposed to have an interview with the same station later, according to Hal Boedeker.

I especially loved the part when he said that whoever was elected president Obama "and/or" McCain, would be tested? And/or? OK Senator.

Updated to add: I found this article from another journalist that thinks the media bias is ridiculous. It's a little long but really worth reading.

Jeri Thompson

Fred Thompson's beautiful wife, Jeri, was on Hannity and Colmes last night talking about Team Sarah when Alan brings up Sarah Palin's clothes. Typical that they attack her for something superficial. But Jeri is awesome! She hit right back at him and set him straight. Watch the clip, she's really good. And sign up at Team Sarah.

Don't Tax Me Signs

My honey showed me his sign last night and sent me the link. You can go to JohnMcCain.com to make your own sign.

I'm waiting for mine to get to my email inbox and then I'm putting it up in my front window right next to the Army Dude's. Hmm I like that name for him!

Watching too much CNN

Ellen on Sarah Palin being against gay marriage:



Sarah Palin and Joe Biden on gay marriage during the VP Debate:



So Biden and Obama both have the same view as Sarah Palin when it comes to gay marriage (they are all against defining it as marriage but not opposed to civil unions) but Ellen only has a problem with Sarah Palin's stance.
By the way Ellen, that law in Alaska was signed by Gov. Palin.

I just had to get that out because I have heard it from some friends and on TV and then today I saw that Ellen said that. They all have the same stance but you're only going to call out one nominee? OK.... Makes me think that these people don't know what they are voting for.

Another example. Matt Damon, man of genius:



I'm under the impression that the idiotic comment he makes about Sarah Palin believing in dinosaurs roaming the earth 10,000 years ago has to do with her religious beliefs. Because apparently if you believe in the Bible you must also believe that dinosaurs roamed the earth 10,000 years ago??? OK that in itself is dumb enough.
But sorry Matt, Gov. Palin is not as dumb as you would hope (or as you, for that matter). She does believe that the theory of evolution should be taught at school so obviously she doesn't believe that dinosaurs roamed the earth 10,000 years ago. Oh and by the way, that list to ban books, bogus:



And on the issue of band books, check out about.com's section on Urban Legends. She supposedly gave the librarian that list in 1996, before the Harry Potter books that are listed were even published. Nice try anyway.

Is it Friday yet?

All of us at the office came to the concensus this afternoon that it felt like Friday. Actually, that we wished it was Friday. Almost there!

So my little brother voted in his first election and of course he voted for McCain. I'm so proud!! I guess there is hope for him, I've always joked that he was "the one" in the family (you know there's one in every family) because he was the only FSU fan in a house of Hurricanes but I guess there is hope for him yet!

To all the Sarah Palin fans, visit Team Sarah and sign up.

And because I thought the Random Rant clip was so good, here is why he's voting for McCain/Palin:
