Hypocrisy

Have you seen this commercial with Ashley Judd where she tells us we need to stop Sarah Palin from supporting the areal killing of wolves in Alaska?



The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was her hypocrisy. Someone should put up a video: Stop Ashley Judd. Start with someone saying how Ashley Judd supports the killing of innocent babies. At the same time show images of an abortion, maybe some pictures of discarded babies as the narrator explains the gruesome process. Then at the end: We have to stop Ashley Judd from killing innocent babies.

The second thing that ran through my mind was this:



Love the chicken voting for Col. Sanders comment. Because everyone knows that McCain/Palin eat women.

Pictures

Finally! Here are some pictures from the Chambliss rally last week:

This first one is a view of the line. This is actually about halfway through the line. Here we were standing at the corner, that building in the distance is the James Brown Arena.


We got a kick out of this sign:


Gov. Perdue introduced Senator Chambliss:


Senator Chambliss and his lovely wife:


And of course, the reason everyone got up bright and early to stand in line out in the cold, Gov. Palin:


It really was great, mother's took their young daughters, high school kids went with their friends, men and women both went wild when she came out. She really has gotten people into politics that normally would not be. I would be willing to bet that most people there that morning would not have stood out in below freezing temperatures if she was not going to be there. I wold have rolled over and gone back to sleep under my nice warm blankets myself.

So Excited

Gov. Palin is coming to Georgia!

I am so excited. I signed up for the event here in Augusta on the Saxby Chambliss website and we are ready to go. I actually had already asked for the day off to run errands and go to appointments and the rally is at 8:30 am and my first appointment is at 9:45 so bright and early I'm going to call and try to get it pushed back a little. I can't miss this! I told the Army Dude about it and he said he was coming with me. He likes Gov. Palin. I think he has a crush on her, shhhh.
So bright and early Monday morning we are going to be making our way downtown to the James Brown Arena. I'm wearing my shirt. and I'm taking pictures and I'll probably act like I'm at a rock concert lol.

Speaking of Senator Chambliss: all you Georgia Voters, please don't forget to vote. Early voting is taking place this week and the polls open Tuesday. I can't imagine what a Democrat super majority would mean to the country. Imagine the same party having all the power in Washington and not just control of all branches but a super majority in the Senate at that.

By the way, do a yahoo search for images of Gov. Palin and then do one from Google and tell me there isn't a difference in the types of pictures that come up. I was appalled by what I saw from yahoo.

Didn't they see it coming?

Talk of the bailout plan for the Big 3 has been in the news for almost a week now and I've been wanting to say something about it since the first time I heard about it so here it is:

They got $25 billion back in September for R&D and now they want another $50 billion on federal loans. Half of that would go to retooling their factories because the geniuses running these companies thought that the SUV craze would last forever even amid the rise of gas prices and the increasing sales of more efficient foreign cars. There has been talk about building more fuel efficient vehicles for years and year and yet they continued to make these gas guzzlers and didn't bother with fuel efficiency and hybrids. That's besides the point though. Let them retool, save jobs pay us back our tax money with interest.
The big problem is the other half of that $50 billion. It's going to pay for union benefits. Us tax payers are going to pay for union benefits. According to Bloomberg:

United Auto Workers says it wants $25 billion to help fund the union- run retiree health-care trusts being started in 2010.

Why should we pay for this? Because they can't afford it. Common sense would then ask why would they have this health care plan if they can't afford it. If they can't afford to pay for it maybe they should adopt one that they can instead of using our tax money to pay for it. In a perfect world I guess...
Can you imagine if the EFCA passes and it becomes easier for unions to take over? How many businesses are we going to have to bail out because they can't afford union demands and how many are just going to close down because the government doesn't see them fit for saving. Common sense tells me that this is just not the best idea.

Moving on. Camille Paglia has this to say about Sarah Palin:

How dare Palin not embrace abortion as the ultimate civilized ideal of modern culture? How tacky that she speaks in a vivacious regional accent indistinguishable from that of Western Canada! How risible that she graduated from the University of Idaho and not one of those plush, pampered commodes of received opinion whose graduates, in their rush to believe the worst about her, have demonstrated that, when it comes to sifting evidence, they don't know their asses from their elbows.

Liberal Democrats are going to wake up from their sadomasochistic, anti-Palin orgy with a very big hangover. The evil genie released during this sorry episode will not so easily go back into its bottle. A shocking level of irrational emotionalism and at times infantile rage was exposed at the heart of current Democratic ideology -- contradicting Democratic core principles of compassion, tolerance and independent thought. One would have to look back to the Eisenhower 1950s for parallels to this grotesque lock-step parade of bourgeois provincialism, shallow groupthink and blind prejudice.

I like Sarah Palin, and I've heartily enjoyed her arrival on the national stage. As a career classroom teacher, I can see how smart she is -- and quite frankly, I think the people who don't see it are the stupid ones, wrapped in the fuzzy mummy-gauze of their own worn-out partisan dogma. So she doesn't speak the King's English -- big whoop! There is a powerful clarity of consciousness in her eyes. She uses language with the jumps, breaks and rippling momentum of a be-bop saxophonist. I stand on what I said (as a staunch pro-choice advocate) in my last two columns -- that Palin as a pro-life wife, mother and ambitious professional represents the next big shift in feminism. Pro-life women will save feminism by expanding it, particularly into the more traditional Third World.

Read the whole article it's really good.

And now I'm going to study. The book I'm reading tonight is infuriatingly biased but that is a post for another day.

Digging for the Truth

I'm sure by now you have all heard about those rumors that Gov. Palin didn't know that Africa is a continent and the like.

Here's a clip of Carl Cameron telling it to Shepard Smith:



Come one Shep, did you REALLY think that she didn't know that Africa is a continent? Did you seriously believe that? Because I find it hard to believe that you would actually believed a rumor as absurd as that.

And considering that it was such an absurd rumor and the the "source" was unnamed I didn't give it any credence at all. Nothing but hearsay. But it spread like wild fire through the MSM and soon every "news" show had something to say about Gov. Palin not knowing that Africa was a continent or what countries were in NAFTA.

Apparently this "leaker" was a hoax. It was supposedly leaked by M. Thomas Eisenstadt

HOAX WARNING RE "M. THOMAS EISENSTADT" AND THE "HARDING INSTITUTE FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY"

"M. Thomas Eisenstadt" is a pseudonym used to describe someone who claims to be a "Senior Fellow at the Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy in Washington, D.C.[1] A "bio" note claims that "Eisenstadt" is the "founder and president of the campaign consulting firm The Eisenstadt Group and was an advisor to the Rudolph Giuliani presidential campaign in 2007-2008."[2]

According to the "bio" note, "Eisenstadt" was described by the Wall Street Journal as "one of the foremost commentators on issues of U.S. policy towards the Middle East and is one of the bright lights of the neoconservative movement."[2] He cites National Journal’s The Hotline as referring to himself as “a rising GOP pundit” and “a clear-spoken advocate for Rudy Giuliani.”[2]

In June 2008 blogger William K. Wolfum concluded that "M. Thomas Eisenstadt (who originally started a blog named www.michaeleisenstadt.com and was referred to as "Michael") was a hoax. As was his "think tank" called "The Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy" (which seems to be a joke, being that Warren G. Harding is widely considered to be one of the worst Presidents in U.S. history)."[3] After being outed, the "biographical" note was changed to "Martin Eisenstadt."[2]

I also looked up a list of Senator McCain's campaign staff and I pulled up several and M. Thomas Eisenstadt's name was not on any of them.

So what did Smith have to say about this new little nugget of information? Nothing. They were quick to put out the bad information about her but nothing about it all being a lie. I would expect Smith to research this kind of garbage before he puts it out there and act like it's just amazingly true on TV but that would have been my expectation earlier this year or last year. Not anymore. It doesn't surprise me that he would allow that kind of garbage to be put out unquestioned and I'm also not surprised that he didn't say anything about it being a lie. Very disappointing. As I said before he used to be my favorite but I just can't take him seriously or trust him like I used to.

Even worse, Carl Cameron has been traveling with this campaign for how long now? You would think he knows pretty much everyone in that staff by the end. So explain to me then how Greta Van Susteren (by the way catch her interview with Gov. Palin, it was good) could talk to someone and find out that it was all false, that the Gov. never said that Africa was a country. Greta could get that information so easily and yet Carl couldn't do that? I don't buy that for a minute. That was nothing but laziness and sensationalism. Shame on both Cameron and Smith and right on to Greta.

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.

Who Watches this Garbage

The hags on the view strike again. But this time they had Bill O'Reilly on and he held his own against these wind bags:

Part 1


and Part 2


I love how O'Reilly picks on the way they acted when McCain came in, especially Joy and Babawawa. Of course Joy had to put a jab in against Fox News. That is so old already! And Sherri bringing up that Obama is crying that Fox News isn't toeing his line. Fox News is the only News Outlet that is not worshiping at the shrine of Obama, so what get over it!
And what is up with Barbara making a big deal about the way Bill treated Elmer Fudd when he was on a few weeks back? He deserved it and more for what he did but she and that insufferable Joy were all up in arms over it. They really need to take a look at what is going on.
I think it would do them good to read Orson Scott Card's article Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn on the Lights? I highly recommend this article, everyone should read it.

And while we are watching clips here is John Murtha sticking his other foot in his mouth when he tried to clear up his racist comment:


By the way, I'm now listening to Hannity and Colmes playing on my TV and they are talking about Murtha's "redneck" comment and Alan Colmes is trying to rationalize it. He's just asked the guy running against him if maybe in the past there were rednecks in that area so it's actually true. Is he serious? OK I will be the first to admit that my husband is a redneck, his neck couldn't be any more red. LOL and no he's not voting for Obama but not because he's a racist (because he's not) he's not voting for him because he doesn't like his policies, especially when it comes to the military and especially the whole pull out of Iraq in 16 months. He believes that by giving them a date when most of our guys (and gals) are out of there we are giving the terrorists a date. They will know that all they have to do is lay low until said date and then unleash when our military is at it's weakest there and then what? Do we start over from where we were pre-surge, and lose more lives? It would be like taking two steps forward and then ten steps back.
But I digress. I am so sick of these politicians labeling people that are not supporting the chosen one as racist, redneck (like it's a bad thing!), intolerant. (By the way Pennsylvanians you are now racist, gun-toting, bible thumping, intolerant rednecks). I've posted some articles before and you can do a search and find thousands of articles, most claiming that John McCain and Sarah Palin are racist for a variety of reason, they winked, he said socialist, she said terrorist and on and on. Well I think Joe Biden said it perfectly when he said they protest too much:



And while he is talking about walking like a duck and talking like a duck and all that then how about Ayers, Wright, Rezko and the rest?
I thought this little clip was good at highlighting that:

Sure Joe let's bring that up.

Who are you calling hateful?

Have you seen the shirts four Obama supporters were sporting this weekend?

Here is a story on them and some interesting information from Tammy Bruce



But that is nothing compared to this. It is so vile that I didn't want to put the image on my blog but you can click over and see it for yourself. It is beyond hateful and I want to know where the outrage is over this. The same outrage that we saw over the link between Obama and Ayers and all the other questionable associations he's had, to put it mildly.

Palin Confronts Heckler

This is a shaky video but worth the watch. Good for Sarah, she gives a heckler a piece of her mind

What I Did Last Weekend

Besides getting over having that wisdom tooth pulled, watching the debate, and doing homework, here's what I did this weekend.

Paul called and informed me that we would be dog sitting. Meet Chewy:




He's the same size as Clifford's chew toy:


LOL and he sounds like a squeeky toy when he barks LOL. But he is so cute and so sweet, I'm going to miss the little dude when he goes home.


They finally got the McCain/Palin yard signs so I got mine:


I put it in one of the flower beds up by my house so the hoodlums that live around me would be less inclined to take it. I think it looks great! LOL

And while I was at the Columbia County GOP Headquarter I saw this shirt and had to get it:



And now I have to take the little chew toy out to potty again.
