With only 49 counties out of 75 reporting so far, does anyone else find this highly amusing?
And That’s A FACT, Jack!

ABO 2012
This is going to be another extremely long day. I typically don’t do much on Sundays, other than go to church, and maybe nap, but since I’m not at home, and didn’t make it to church (lack of appropriate attire is one reason….don’t think they’d appreciate me showing up in baggie sweats and an NRA ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ t-shirt), I was put to work. Cleaning. UGH! Actually, I put myself to work, but some things needed to be done, so we did them. We’re all pretty amazed at the results. 
I won’t go into the reasons things had to be done, but suffice it to say, it was a priority.
Anyway, I am slurping coffee, attempting to get at least one eye open, and going through emails. I got a link to something I found quite interesting, and pretty much agree with it, with one exception….I don’t think voting for Ron Paul is a good idea. Other than that….I have to say that yes, our lame stream media is nothing more than a government run propaganda machine, in the same vein that the media of Nazi Germany was, or the state run media in Venezuela.
A snippet:
The elites are masters of propaganda. They have at their beck and call an army of “journalists” who never stray from the official state line for fear of being ostracized. They eagerly and happily spread lies and half-truths in order to gain and then keep their seats near the halls of power. Those who stray from the party line (Helen Thomas) are harshly dealt with.
They have learned that the more lies they tell, the more lies we believe. And the more lies we believe, the more dependent we become. Conversely, the fewer myths, lies and deceptions we succumb to, the less dependent — and, therefore, the freer — we are.
If you watch the news, read the papers, either print or online, no doubt you’ve notice a serious deterioration in the quality of the ‘news’. Instead of all the facts, we get slant, from all the outlets. The majority, however, slant so far to the left with their propaganda, it’s difficult to know what real anymore. The lack of reporting is just as bad as flat out lying. Those who actually pay attention have seen a great many omissions in what most would consider vital information pertaining to the story that’s being ‘reported’. But since it doesn’t fit into their agenda, and that of the current administration, it gets left out, or the spin is so blatant, you get dizzy just hearing it….kind of like going a few rounds in a dryer. 
Just one example of the media ‘in the tank’ for the administration would be the recent WaPo column by a total Obama suck up. *shakes head*
When confronted with a challenge to the established belief system, the mind closes off. When this happens, the individual employs avoidance behavior, writes off the new knowledge as conspiracy theory and labels it as kooky, insane or stupid. The information is then dismissed, never to be considered again, even when the facts support the new knowledge.
The esoteric purpose of propaganda is to extract wealth and labor illegally as concealed involuntary servitude. The people who use propaganda to persuade the populace against their best interests create myths and sell them as benefits.
Have you ever had, what started out as, what you THOUGHT was a rational conversation with a liberal? Within minutes, confronted with the truth, the majority will totally become unhinged. Recent videos of the OWS crowd proves that point with no need for explanation. You can find them anywhere on the net, unless, of course, some underhandedness has occurred, which you KNOW it does! YouTube is notorious for pulling videos , especially when the rabid leftist complain. Let a conservative say that something is highly offensive, and you get either silence, or ‘it’s protected by the 1st Amendment. Funny how that works, eh? Google apparently is another arm of the socialist movement known as the Democrat Party, with the head, Obama/Washerwoman-Schultz, pulling the strings. Or would that be George Soros? Uh oh! A conspiracy theory. tsk tsk tsk
So, anyway, the column has a list of lies, covering a variety of topics, from The War on Terror to The economy is improving. One topic of interest is There is a difference between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. In today’s parties, some might agree. In a way, I do as well. All we have to do is look at the candidate we were stuck with in 2008, and to a degree, who THEY have decided our candidate is this time around. I know of very few people who actually supported either one. The elites at the top are actually quite similar, however, us rank and file out here in the REAL world, are quite different from each other. The majority of us stand on principle. The head honchos blow with the wind. Quite disturbing actually, which is why the Tea Party is so vital to all upcoming elections. No, we are NOT fading away. We are still out here, doing our best to not only take our country back, but the party of Reagan as well. The reason you don’t see us out there, like you you do the OWS types, is because the majority on our side either work, or have family obligations which prevents us from traveling distances, not to mention, we don’t get financial support from ANY organizations to bus us in for rallies. We foot our own bills, and unlike the unionistas who get bused (and in most cases, paid) in to protest something or other, of people who are just handed a sign, and paid to carry it for the cameras.
The one item I have an issue with is A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Obama. Actually, it is. I think Ron Paul is a smart cookie….when it comes to domestic issues. However, his foreign policy has turned off a large number of people, including me. We stand by our allies, not throw them to the wolves, as the Obama administration has. I think he’d make an excellent Secretary of Treasury though.
So, no, I do not believe “A vote for either Mitt Romney or Obama is a vote for continued and reinforced fascism.“ We can’t do this in just one election cycle, and we have to start somewhere. Getting Obama out of office, and in turn, removing all those freakin’ czars, reversing the numerous ‘executive orders’ that ‘go around Congress’, and getting a majority in both the House and the Senate is just the first step to restoring our Constitutional Republic.

The Lee Plan Offers a Clear Choice for Americans
The Foundry
It has been over three years (1,111 days to be precise) since the U.S. Senate last passed a budget. The last time Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) fulfilled his legal responsibility, Conan was still on NBC, Tea Parties hadn’t come together and the iPad hadn’t yet been introduced. This is one of the biggest abdications of power we have seen on the part of our government in modern time. And there is no excuse. The Senate needs only 51 votes to pass a budget. Democrats have had well over that for President Obama’s entire term, yet they refuse to even offer a plan.
Let’s be clear. The Senate must pass a budget if we are going to halt Washington’s disastrous habit of overspending, overborrowing and overtaxing our fragile economy. While liberals sit on the sidelines saying ‘no,’ conservatives are offering solutions.
Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI), Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) and others have courageously put credible and thoughtful plans on the table. But today, I am happy to report that a member of the Senate has put forward an unprecedented new plan that directly confronts all of the major economic challenges our nation faces.
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has introduced a budget resolution that mirrors the bold and thorough reforms The Heritage Foundation first proposed in our comprehensive program, “Saving the American Dream.”
The Arrogant POTUS
“When Barack Obama flip-flops, it’s called ‘evolving.’ When Mitt Romney evolves, it’s called ‘flip-flopping.’” -Rush Limbaugh
Wouldn’t it be nice if Obama actually ‘evolved’ into a grown up? A real human grown up? And how about evolving into someone less narcissistic? Wishful thinking, huh. sigh….
Isn’t it interesting that OUR military is fighting on HIS behalf? Why would they do that? He doesn’t even like them, and has made that perfectly clear on numerous occasions. He’s doing his best, with the aid of the Senate to strip them of their ability to even defend themselves, much less him. Pfft! What a horse’s rump!
I wonder if the gay community is aware that he is doing nothing more than using them for political purposes? The guy doesn’t give a flying flip about anyone, or anything beyond his own wants and desires. And apparently, he wants to be king, a dictator, a real tyrant. I mean, after all, he has learned from the best…..Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Adolph Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, etc. Oh yeah…and lets not forget Saul Alinksy, his grandparents, and his mentor, Frank Marshall Davis.
A Few Interesting Items
1. Yesterday, it was voting day in several states. Most notably, the recall nonsense in Wisconsin. Naturally, Governor Scott Walker won the Republican side, in what can only be called a major landslide against some guy no one has ever heard of, and from what I’ve been told, is a faux Republican. The Dems do that a lot up there….run a guy on the R side just to dilute the vote. Then, they have dummy voters cross over and vote for the phony candidate. Yep…those WI Dems are all about honor and integrity alright. I don’t think it worked out too well for them though this time, with Walker taking 97%. On the Dem side, Tom Barrett, mayor of Milwaukee, and loser in the last gubernatorial race against Walker, is now the libtard/progressive/socialist/commie candidate. And contrary to what you’ve heard, there is FRAUD in Wisconsin. I know of several incidents in the past where even so called educators encouraged college students to vote both from their home residence, and from their school residence.
2. Next, we have North Carolina.
North Carolina voters elected to change the state constitution on Tuesday, prohibiting any union outside of a marriage between a man and a woman from being recognized in the state.
A long time ago, I didn’t think such a thing would be necessary. I felt that it was just plain ol’ common sense. I was wrong. No, I am NOT anti-gay. I’m pro God. People really do need to figure out the difference. The rabid activists aren’t fighting for ‘equal rights’, which we all already have, they are fighting against society, and for the destruction of civilization. Sounds kind of broad based, but there it is in a nutshell. There are people I love dearly, who just happen to be gay. I can still love them and not approve of their choices. Nor do I judge them. That’s not my job.
People have spoken out against recognizing “gay marriage” all across the country, with their vote. Yet along comes some ‘activist judge’, who thinks the will of the people should be struck down. One person, or a panel of individual judges, decide that people are too stupid, and don’t have the right to decide what is right, and what is wrong. Take a look at California. The people voted overwhelmingly against recognizing same sex ‘marriages’, but some judge struck down their vote. Is it any wonder that people are disgusted with the courts, and believe their vote means nothing? The majority of the country has laws against such unions. The more liberal, aka run by Democrats, and likely in debt states, have had judges who have ruled against the people.
3. We mustn’t forget about the long term RINO senator from Indiana who went down in flames against a CONSERVATIVE opponent! The dude is 80 years old fer the love of pete. Way past time for him to go home….wherever home is, cuz it’s NOT in Indiana. That 61% who voted for Murdock sent quite a loud message. People are real tired of compromising with those who want to destroy the country. Ya don’t compromise with the enemy. And y’know, that’s pretty much what the OTHER side of the aisle is made up of….enemies of the people, and the country. sigh… More than sad….quite dangerous!
4. And this item was my very favorite!
Just how unpopular is President Barack Obama in some parts of the country? Enough that a man in prison in Texas is getting 4 out of 10 votes in West Virginia’s Democratic presidential primary.
The inmate, Keith Judd, is serving time at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Texas for making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999. With 93 percent of precincts reporting, Obama was receiving just under 60 percent of the vote to Judd’s 40 percent.

Santorum endorses Romney for president
Rick Santorum endorsed presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney in an email to supporters sent late Monday night.
The one-time Republican presidential hopeful and former Pennsylvania senator said “the primary campaign certainly made it clear that Gov. Romney and I have some differences. But there are many significant areas in which we agree.”
“We both agree that President Obama must be defeated. The task will not be easy. It will require all hands on deck if our nominee is to be victorious. Governor Romney will be that nominee and he has my endorsement and support to win this the most critical election of our lifetime,” said Santorum.
While his backing could shore up Romney’s position with the GOP’s conservative base, some could view it as a lukewarm endorsement of the party’s eventual nominee.
When it comes right down to it, this isn’t about Obama or Romney. This election is about the very survival of the United States. Was Romney my choice? That would be a big fat NO! Will I vote for him in November? Damn skippy I will! Why? Because we will not survive another four years of socialist/marxist rule!
You folks who have decided you won’t vote for Romney because he doesn’t represent everything you wanted in the candidate….stay home! Voting 3rd party, or write in will only get us another four years of complete destruction. If you want the socialists to completely take over, then just use your vote for Obama. Don’t give me that crap about ‘standing on principles’. Standing on principle is great and I’m all for it, but when it comes to this country, you need to get your head screwed on straight, and stand WITH those of us who KNOW we have to boot Obama from the White House. We didn’t get this far down the sewer in one day, and we sure won’t be getting out of it in one election cycle. If giving Obama his pink slip isn’t your goal, then you have lost sight of our real problems, and it ain’t Mitt! Our problem is the GOPer elites, who need to be replaced, and the lame stream media, that needs to relearn the meaning of investigative journalism. IF we stand together, eventually, we just might be able to TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!
Obama has not been a leader. He, and his minions, have basically crowned him king, and kings don’t give a flying flip about the peons that pay his bills.
Big Primary Day In Wisconsin
Today is primary day in Wisconsin to see which moronic, lying, cheating, self centered Democrat (but I repeat myself) will be Scott Walker’s opponent in the ridiculous, and totally union thug run recall election. Will it be Tom Barrett, who lost to Walker in 2010 by a 52-47 margin? He seems to be leading in the polls. Possibly Kathleen Falk, another hack that has, apparently, never lived in the real world, residing in the Land of Oz, aka Madison, running it into the ground as county executive.
Isn’t it odd that since Walker has been in office, the unemployment rate has dropped? What happened to all those morons shouting at the Capital about how people were going to lose their jobs? From 7.6 to 6.8 (Mar ’11-Mar ’12). It helps if your state has a business friendly atmosphere, which Walker has been trying to create. Many school systems have been able to actually SAVE money through Gov. Walker’s budget reforms. Unfortunately, the BIG union districts failed miserably. Many teachers ended up losing their jobs.Why? Well, let’s just say that selfish union thugs don’t give a damn about what’s best for the kids that they are entrusted to ‘educate’. Wait a minute! Isn’t that what the morons who banged drums and behaved like animals in the Capital said Walker’s budget would do? Cost teachers their jobs? It appears they are just as stupid as they appeared on the idjit box.
In the long run, this whole recall BS isn’t about ‘children suffering’, or job loss. It’s about union power. Plain and simple. The years of Dopey Jim Doyle put the state into a financial disaster that only a person of strong character, and TRUE concern for the state could pull it out of, yet the unions have spend a fortune spreading the most absurd lies about the man. And unfortunately for Wisconsin, the ill informed have bought into the crap being spewed. You hear utter nonsense about how the Koch brothers bought Scott Walker. Excuse me while I clean off my monitor. Spewing coffee from laughter y’know. Who is buying whom? Well, let’s look, shall we?
Yep! You Wisconsin union members are getting the shaft! Is this why you pay your dues, voluntarily or forced? I always thought those unions dues were for the members benefit, NOT the top echelon who want more and more power. But don’t forget, they also use the money you work for, and pay into as dues, for resorts trips (and let’s not forget the resort that was/is? owned by the fattest union of all)….not for you, who actually earned the money, but for those who having been sucking the life out of the U.S. economy for decades. Think Detroit.
Your head honchos are living high off the hog from your money, and yet, you continue to get out there and make total jackasses of yourselves…for THEIR benefit, NOT yours! Please note the area where your dues is being spent. Politics. To say that the Koch’s are pouring money into politics is down right laughable. More than half a BILLION dollars compared to 12 million over the course of, what….23 years? In one state? Come on people, snap out of it! I know you can’t all be that damn ignorant! Or, maybe you can. I’ve seen some of the comments made by the leftard union thugs. Logic does NOT enter into the conversation….only talking points and hysteria. My goodness. Grow up!
If Wisconsinites really love their state, as so many claim, then why on earth would you want to destroy it by electing another Dopey Doyle (totally owned by unions, especially WEAC). Is it so much to ask for teachers, and other government employees, to actually contribute their own money, instead of the taxpayers, to their own health care and retirement? Government employees work for the people. The people spoke when they elected Scott Walker. Get over it! Stop throwing 2 year old tantrums! If you aren’t happy with something, then go about it in the proper manner, instead making asses of yourselves, and showing the entire world just how totally ignorant, selfish, and childish Americans are…..especially UNION states. Get over your gimme mentality…it is NOT all about YOU! And you are NOT entitled to diddly! Especially not OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY! But then, that’s the way of the communists, isn’t it.
This election isn’t just about the survival of Wisconsin. No, this election is about the survival of the United States. Governor Walker has brought Wisconsin back from the brink, and the rest of the country needs to follow in his footsteps…not the footsteps of Lenin and Stalin! Scott Walker is the best thing to happen to Wisconsin in a VERY long time! Use YOUR brain, not the union/commies’!

Obama’s Afghan trip: 14,000 miles for brief remarks lacking one crucial word
As usual with this president, Obama’s trip to and speech from Afghanistan had way more to do with politics than any real substance.
Seven thousand miles, one way, is a long journey to share war remarks with countrymen that he should have and could have shared back home many months ago. Despite the administration’s best backgrounding sales efforts, the document he signed with Afghan President Hamid Karzai is a meaningless basic agreement to talk later about forging a real agreement.
Nothing was essentially changed by what the media lovingly called his “secret trip” to the war zone, which was simply unannounced for security reasons.
So, how much did this useless little jaunt cost the taxpayers this time? I guess we’ll find out eventually. But we must remember to add in all the goodies he’s promised to the corrupt Afghan government as well. What was I heard? TWO BILLION? Was that a year, or in total? And we shall never forget the cost in the lives of our military men and women, those who will never come home (68% on Obama’s watch), and the many whose lives will never be the same, physically, mentally, or emotionally. There is no dollar number that could EVER reflect that cost!
ZoNation – A Herman Cain Presidential Nomination Would Expose Liberal Bias and Racism
Mr Cain was my first choice. Thanks to the establishment GOP elites, the libtards and the lame stream, we are stuck with someone NO conservative wanted. Where’s the logic here?
And So It Has Begun
Well, today is May 1. For most people, it’s just another spring day. For others, it’s an excuse to destroy. In San Fransisco, they got their ‘party’ started a wee bit early.
From Gateway Pundit:
Democrat endorsed #Occupy protesters destroyed property and busted out windows in a march last night in San Francisco.
So, consider that statement, and check this tidbit linked from Yahoo -
“Many in the Occupy movement are blaming outsiders and “Black Bloc” anarchists who have a habit of hijacking peaceful protests for the own purposes. Unfortunately, most regular citizens won’t know or care to make the distinction — particularly if they wake to find their automobiles destroyed.”
Rather amusing in a way. Not amusing in a haha way, but amusing that even though the evidence is overwhelming of the criminal activity within the so called occupiers groups, they continue to deny any connection, and have been compared to the Tea Party. What’s the score on the rapes, thefts, vandalism, and even murder within the Tea Party groups now? Oh…that’s right……………ZERO! The occupests can’t say the same, can they.
Sending banks envelopes of white power, even though found to be non-toxic, really isn’t the mark of a ‘peaceful’ organization, is it. Included with their little gift:
“This is a reminder that you are not in control,” said a message that arrived with the envelopes. “Just in case you needed some incentive to stop working we have a little surprise for you. Think fast you have seconds.”
Nice people, eh? What we have here is serious domestic terrorists, yet the leftists (read socialists/communists) are hailing this bunch as grass roots, and admire their actions. Really? Speaks volumes for our so called leaders, doesn’t it. Yep…grass roots alright….funded by big leftard/socialist/nazi George Soros, among many other left wing American haters. I know I can’t be the only one who sees the irony of ‘protesting greed‘ by the greediest bunch of pond scum there is…those who want to take from those who actually EARN, spread it among themselves, and maybe share with others of their ilk….the do nothing, give me all your money, thieves.
These are Obama people! “Forward“! Right. Oh, I mean, left. They share the same values, or lack of.
When “Green” Becomes Red
- It is quite obvious to me that few in the Obama administration, if any, are familiar with crucifixion.
Crucifixion was not only one of the most disgraceful forms of death, it was one of the most dreaded methods of execution in the ancient world. Accounts of crucifixions are recorded among early civilizations, most likely originating with the Persians and then spreading to the Assyrians, Scythians, Carthaginians, Germans, Celts and Britons. This type of capitol punishment was primarily reserved for traitors, captive armies, slaves and the worst of criminals. (source)
We bandy about words to the point where they lose all meaning. One good example would be ‘racism’, a word so overused, and misapplied, it has lost much of it’s impact. For the Obama administration to use the word crucify in relation to energy, particularly the gas and oil industry, is totally mind boggling.
Obama’s Crucifixion of “Big Oil”
The Foundry
If it ever was a secret, it’s not a secret any longer: The Obama Administration is on a vindictive campaign to injure America’s oil and gas industry. The proof materialized last week when video of an Environmental Protection Agency official revealed the White House’s vicious attitude toward the very industries that supply the American people a reliable, affordable energy source. Yesterday, that official fell on his sword and resigned to spare the president any further embarrassment from the truth he disclosed.
Last week, Heritage’s Lachlan Markay reported on a video showing EPA Region VI Administrator Al Armendariz describe his agency’s “philosophy of enforcement” with respect to the regulation of oil and gas companies — likening it to brutal tactics employed by the ancient Roman army to intimidate its foes into submission. With a wry smile, Armendariz detailed the joy with which the EPA inflicts punishment on the disfavored industries:
It was kind of like how the Romans used to, you know, conquer the villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go into a little Turkish town somewhere and they’d find the first five guys they saw and they’d crucify them. And then, you know, that town was really easy to manage for the next few years.
Lest there be any doubt, it’s worth reiterating the point — according to Armendariz, the EPA views its enforcement efforts as a violent crucifixion used to strong arm companies into submission. The Constitution bars cruel and unusual punishment, but evidently that doesn’t apply to the axe-wielding EPA when it comes to enforcing regulations.
