I Am A Sexist!
All 4 GOP Candidates OK With Women in Combat
What do the Republican presidential hopefuls think about women moving closer to the front lines of combat, the four men were asked at Wednesday’s CNN-hosted debate in Arizona.
All indicated varying degrees of support.
“I would look to the people who are serving in the military to give the best assessment of where women can serve,” former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney responded.
After noting that 100 women have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, Romney said he believes women “have the capacity to serve in our military in positions of significance and responsibility, as we do throughout our society.”
Yep…I’m definitely a sexist. Why? Well, those four males might approve of women in combat, but I don’t! UNLESS it is here, on the home front, then…yer damn skippy we’ll be fighting right along side of the guys. Otherwise, no. It’s not our job. Contrary to what the feminazis and leftards would like for people to believe…MEN AND WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT! That is a fact that cannot be changed. We think differently, we react differently, we feel differently, and I won’t even get into the physiology.

Excuse Me?????
Barack Obama apology to Afghanistan over Koran burning
Demonstrations against the desecration have continued for a third day across northern and eastern Afghanistan.
Two US soldiers and two Afghans were killed in an attack on a military base. Elsewhere there were four other deaths.
On Wednesday, another seven people were killed and dozens injured in protests.
Mr Obama’s letter, delivered by the US ambassador to Afghanistan, assured the Afghan president that US authorities would question all those responsible.
“I convey my deep sympathies and ask you and the people to accept my deep apologies,” the letter said.
“The error was inadvertent; I assure you that we will take the appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding accountable those responsible,” it continued.
President Karzai told members of the Afghan parliament that a US officer was responsible for the burning.
But he said it was done out of “ignorance”.
“Deep apologies“? F U and the horse you rode in on, you low life, scum sucking, son of a bitch!
The only ignorance I see is a U.S. president apologizing to a bunch of 7th century followers of a murderous pedophile! When is Obama going to apologize to the American people for turning our country into a bunch of whining wimps? When will he apologize to our brave men and women for putting them in more danger by his BS?? Where is the outrage and apologies to the Christian communities, world wide, for lack of action to protect the innocent?
As far as I’m concerned, the military can burn every damn one of those hate promoting books, and the county itself along with ‘em! Let ‘em riot and kill each other! I stopped giving a damn a LONG time ago! Obama might as well have apologized to Satan. Same damn thing!

Obama’s Sleight Of Hand
Obama’s Crony Capitalist Trap Door
The Foundry
The Obama White House says it hates tax “loopholes,” and the American people abhor them with good reason. They’re the ultimate in unfairness, allowing those in the know to wiggle their way out of playing by the same rules that apply to the rest of us. That’s why, at first glance, the Obama Administration’s latest “framework” to cut the corporate tax rate while closing corporate tax loopholes might sound like a good twofer.
Before you give the President a gold star for good governance, take a step back, turn up the lights, look around the room, and you’ll see that President Obama has replaced some of those tax loopholes with a giant trap door that’s just the right size for all of his political cronies to slip through.
Here are the details of Obama’s latest crony capitalist ploy. Yesterday, the President proposed reducing the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 28 percent. That’s certainly a landmark moment – a liberal President calling for a lower corporate tax rate is a Nixon goes to China moment. It’s also long overdue, considering that the U.S. corporate tax rate is the second highest in the world, making it nearly impossible for American companies to compete in the global economy. But here’s where the trouble begins.
Obama’s Gum Bumping
Obama to address rising gas prices, draw attention to his energy policies
President Barack Obama is confronting Americans’ anxiety over rising gasoline prices by drawing attention to his energy policies and taking credit for rising oil and gas production, a greater mix of energy sources and decreased consumption.
Well, he’s finally taking credit for something. The fact that the price of gas has gone up isn’t exactly something to be proud of, but hey…this is D’Bama after all. Oh…wait a minute…he’s not taking credit for the prices? Oh, I forgot…that’s BUSH’S fault. Silly me. So, he’s saying that rising oil and gas production has gone up? So I guess that oil exec was lying when he said the production had gone from 10 million to 7 million? Let’s see…ya take ten, you subtract 7 and you get 3 right? Well, to me, that says we are producing less….3 million barrels less.
Obama is heading to Florida on Thursday to promote an energy strategy that the administration says will reduce dependence on foreign oil in the long term. But Obama’s pitch will also have a subtext: that the federal government can do little to halt the current rise in gasoline prices.
Nope! The Feds can’t do a darn thing! Well, except for maybe knock off the ridiculous over regulation, and approve more drilling, and perhaps allow building a refinery or ten, since we haven’t had a new one since the late 70s, and I’m fairly sure those we have aren’t as efficient as news ones would be. Have ya noticed they ALL say they want to reduce our dependence of ‘foreign oil’, yet do absolutely NOTHING to get us to that point? We have the resource right here in the good ol’ U. S. of A., but are prevented from actually making use of those resources.
White House advisers believe Obama needs to address the recent spike in gasoline prices, even though they see it as a cyclical occurrence. The current $3.58 per gallon is the highest price at the pump ever for this time of year.
I really don’t believe there is one single person in this administration that has the good sense that God gave a goose! It’s not like the seasons, y’know! That’s cyclical. This is a whole different cycle…like the cycle of increasing mass stupidity, arrogance, and forced regulations coming directly from a government agency that is answerable to no one. Hmmm.. maybe that is a cycle after all, because apparently, it goes from dumb to dumber on a regular basis.
Obama aides worry that the rise in prices could reverse the country’s economic gains and the president’s improved political standing. A new Associated Press-GfK poll shows that though Obama’s approval rating on the economy has climbed, 58 percent disapprove of what he’s doing on gas prices.
Seriously? I’d like to have a chat with those 58%. Obviously products of the more recent decline of our public education, or they are just damn dumb! I have to ask….what economic gains? Do they mean the phony numbers the administration coughs up on a regular basis, or the REAL numbers that proves there is no gain, but a lot of loss? Just wondering.
Now, the biggest problem I see…this administration has NO idea how the economy works. When the price of gas goes up, the price of EVERYTHING goes up. It costs more to ship products to their destination. When companies have to increase their prices, usually the demand for said products go down. The demand goes down, jobs are lost. People have a tougher time meet just their every day needs due to the cost of food rising as well. This is NOT a good thing. If I can see it, why can’t they? Oh, that’s right. I have common sense, and Washington has none! Ooops. Once again….silly me!

The economy – or condoms?
by Eric Rush
On Tuesday of this week, I heard no fewer than three of our top conservative radio personalities refer to our country/society as being “upside-down.” I found this of particular interest because my schedule is such that I seldom get more than one combined half-hour of radio most days.
Those who haven’t drunk the proverbial powdered drink mix commonly associated with the Jonestown tragedy have been drawing the societal inversion analogy more and more as time – and our social malaise – progresses. There really are too many newsworthy examples illustrating this for one to cogently address them all in one column.
A few do spring to mind, though …
For example, the incomprehensibly degenerate “educational” materials being produced by Planned Parenthood International have come under increased scrutiny of late, largely due to the efforts of the pro-life organization American Life League. To the initiated, it’s bad enough that Planned Parenthood, the largest purveyor of abortion services in America, had its genesis in eugenics. The legacy of having been devised in order to curtail the procreation of “undesirable” subgroups within the gene pool (blacks in particular) is certainly far from enviable. Now it is has become clear that Planned Parenthood is doing its level best to produce as many wanton libertines as possible.
To this end, they have focused on American children.
The Debate 2/22/12
Right up front I’m going to tell you….I only watched the first hour. I didn’t learn a darn thing new from any of them, so when Criminal Minds came on, I agreed with the Mr, it was time to change the channel. It was a good one too, so I have no regrets. At some point today, I may watch the last half, because, of course, I had to dvr the debate….just in case.
Yes, Newt still is able to do well in debates, Ron Paul does just fine until he starts rambling and throwing in his absurd foreign policy, neither Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum was terribly impressive, IMHO. For the time I watched, most seemed to be stuttering and stumbling over their words. I don’t know if it was because they were sitting down, and the blood was being cut off from their brains, or what! I just wasn’t at all impressed.
Now to be totally honest, there were some answers I did applaud. Santorum on the contraceptive issues, but I think he over explained. There was even one time, I whole heartedly agreed with Paul, but I’ll be darned if I can remember what it was, because after that, he went into one of his ramblings, and he totally lost me.
One thing that is irritating the bejabbers out of me….they spent most of the time defending themselves from each other, instead of concentrating on the REAL target…..Barack Hussein Obama, and his socialist agenda. Newt did a bit, but the rest of ‘em? Meh. If they succeeded in knocking off the petty bickering between themselves, and got to the meat in the second half, I just might have to watch. If not, then I don’t see the point.
The bad thing is…..I have to decide who I am going to vote for in the primary. I’ll be voting early, today or tomorrow, and honestly, at this point, it appears I’ll be flipping a coin. sigh…
Heroes Getting the Shaft….
