Did You Hear the One About Obama Winning the Nobel Peace Prize?

One last laugh before Obama picks up the Nobel prize after tonight's photo-op and Copenhagen next week.
Exactly, why does he have to go to West Point? The Oval just doesn't have the same atmospherics?

That monster in Seattle was shot dead this morning. Good riddance.

Less than 10% of Obama's cabinet has private sector experience…because you usually don't find Marxists in the world of business…

…and the business of America is BUSINESS.

That's why they have to be careful about finding the individuals responsible for letting those two idiots through the gates. It doesn't mean he needs to sell the whole Service down the river. Of course judging by his history he probably will.

I would take Huckabee if he hit women over what we have now
/I know he does not hit women ,but those men are the worst form of human beings alive

Truth time: May I see your invitation? LQQK—> http://twitpic.com/rnmbw

Exactly. They were already building the insanity defense in the media. The circumstances this morning were the only way for this horrible violent act (or, rather, string of violent acts) to end without further harming the police and the public.

Hahahaha
You Racist !

OK – this is a good one to have had labeled. I didn't recognize Janet Gaynor and don't know much about her. A look at Wikipedia shows she was in Murnau's "Sunrise," which I'd like to see, and many other films, both silent and talkies and afterwards. Four Academy Awards for best actress, including the first one given to an actress, and the only one given to an actress for multiple roles (they changed the rules after her).

Found this tribute to her at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE5Vf_IQLrI . What beautiful eyes and lovely smile. In her older years, she looked remarkably (at least in these photos) like Angela Lansbury!

What is a conservative? What is a progressive? What is a republican? What is a democrat? All these titles have lost their meaning..Even a lie and the truth have lost their meaning… Now the constitution is losing it’s meaning and it was written in blood…When we the people holds no one accountable, then the constitution has lost it's meaning and the promise of America dies.

I liked Huckabee but you are right. He just became unelectable.

"Biggest". Note to self, use spell check!

Time to bring out that civilian "army" – you know, ACORN, SEIU, Panthers… Digbats anyone?

I never trusted him, he seemed too McCain like for my tastes.

Any politician who jumps on the global warming bus is doing either because they're trolling for votes, or else they are idiots.

Either one loses my vote.

Hardly surprising. When it comes to controlling human populations, knowing how to please a customer is of little use.

McCain was the nominee! How did that happen if so many people are opposed to him?

Especially the conservative ones!

Well, now we can at least hear Obama talk about himself and how HE was sent to earth to proclaim peace and goodwill towards men. Can we nominate Linus Van Pelt for president?

"Any group that believes that government supremacy is fine, as long as they are running it, is, in my opinion, ultimately leftist."

That would make conservatism a leftist philosophy too. I think you're onto something.

People would call me a lefty for my positions, but I most certainly do not want supremacy of the state over the individual. What does that make me? Moderate? Independent? Sometimes the answer says more about the judger than it does about the judged.

good post..

True. I mean really. White House Crashers who it turns out Obama KNOWS! Versus…the biggest $$$$HOAX perpetrated in the history of mankind.

White House Crashers = Pure Distraction. Nothing more.

Again, this is only my opinion, and my definition, but yes, a lot of people who consider themselves conservatives seem more than happy with big, all encompassing centrally planned government, as long as they are in charge of it.

McCain-Fiengold is a perfect example. It violates my constitutional right to free speech. 30 Days before an election, politicians can spend as much money as they can get, yet if I pay $15 for a small ad in the local paper advocating on politician over another, I have committed a federal offense.

The Farm Bill is another. Both political parties are more than happy to rain down billions of tax payer money on the mid west, in my opinion, primarily because Iowa caucuses are first in the nation, and none of them want to upset Iowa voters.

The list goes on and on and on. I can't think of any democrats who are against any of this, and only a few republicans who are vocally opposed. This stuff is all unconstitutional. And it benefits politicians of both stripes at We The People's expense.

good post

7 stories Barack Obama doesn't want told
Presidential politics is about storytelling. Presented with a vivid storyline, voters naturally tend to fit every new event or piece of information into a picture that is already neatly framed in their minds.

/ Hussein Obama is an open book…..We know him like we know family

The "begets loser" or "bigots loser" work too

During the campaigns and even now, the liberals/Dems would not accept the word "socialist" to apply to Obama. Now there is a video of Scream Man Howard Dean stating that because of Obama there is now a wonderful mix of Capitalism and Socialism that exists, that the only question remaining is how much of each should be applied.

How can there by ANY question left on where the Democrats are leading this country? I'm hoping that Fox gets this out in the open.

Ditto that.

Oh, funny story about Huckabee, since you're not a big fan. Last summer ('08), he came to our local congresswoman's annual picnic as the keynote speaker. I live in Missouri's 8th District, which has about 27 counties, 24 of which broke for Huckabee in the primary. He commented on this fact during his speech and said, "Now I just want to ask you, what's wrong with those other three counties?" What makes that statement so funny is, the county in which this speech occurred was one of three that voted against him, and one of the other two was just to the north (both broke heavily for Romney), and their residents made up the majority of the people there! If there was ever an instance of putting your foot in your mouth…

That is a funny story.

The first time I heard Huckabee state global warming was real, and government had to fix it, he was crossed off my list.

I figured out all this stuff was a hoax years ago. This is not how science works. If you're sure your data is sound, you don't hide it, you plaster it every where you can find. And now they're basically telling us the dog ate their home work. Please, I wouldn't accept that from a 6 year old.

Janet Gaynor – A STAR IS BORN was her swan song and she is barely remembered these days except by film buffs.

I don't quite get what made her so popular, but it is likely my fault and not her lack of appeal.

I disagree. To rise to that level in their profession, in my opinion they would have to take duty and honor pretty seriously. They know the risks when they sign up, and they do it anyway.

Now if being a modern liberal was a requirement, I would completely agree with you.

Oh, please, you know the science is sound and that the time for debate is over. It's very clear you just hate polar bears.

50 years from now on Big Hollywood…" yup thats some babe named Julia Roberts…face like
a horse….what was up with those people at the turn of the century." They all had tatoos in those
days too….very weird.

I define leftist is any group that manipulates the government and the law to gain or maintain power.. Gerrymandering, elections laws. Tax codes, regulations, and other forms of manipulation. This clearly implicates Both parties and thousands of lobbyist groups.

I agree entirely. I've said for years this concept of democrats vs. republicans and liberals vs. conservative is nothing but political theater.

The real battle is between the ruling elite vs. We The People. Everything else is a distraction so we can't see what's really going on. And the MSM is completely on board because they like being part of the ruling elite, if only from a distance.

WAR TAX?.. WE already have a tax that pays for war and defense. .It is all that pig stink that is not paid for including the wages of congress.

You're already doing brother, this is it. The new alternative media. The internet.

I've tried blogging a couple of times, got bored with it because all I was doing was offering analysis on existing information, no way to generate new information. But if you want, take a stab at it, go for it.

And blogging doesn't have to be just pithy political analysis. You can do comics, pictures, cover local issues. The only limit is your own imagination.

I do have a web site that I run for my Church that's running pretty good. We've gotten almost 20,000 hits in just over 2 years, and that includes ramp up and roll out times. I get my content from the people running the Parish and it's school.

My next goal is to start doing web casts of Masses, and then move onto adult education classes, and possibly even weddings and funerals. I once got an email through the webmaster email account and it broke my heart. A elderly couple Arizona couldn't afford to make the trip back to NY for a funeral, so they had written a letter and asked me to get it into the families hands. We can't solve that situation, but we can help make it better.

good post..Humor? not a strong point for me..we will see what we can do, because I can't give up on America. thanks for the advice..

Great, thanks.

SCIMF.

Spell Check Is My Friend.

My own opinion was far too many people in the GOP are far too influenced by the MSM.

The democrats used the MSM to convince many republicans their only chance was with McCain. I heard the MSM say that multiple times. Why on earth the so many GOP primary voters would listen to the likes of Krugman, Huffington, Matthews, Begala, and the likes, is beyond my mental abilities.

But, that's just my opinion.

I am glad to see the field winnowed.
I never liked Huck.

PS: I looked it up – she's not related to Mitzi.

Ditto that.

So I wonder if Jones' supporters are calling him a quitter loser brainless milksop. Isn't that the reaction they had for Palin when she stepped down from her governorship when she became a burden and a distraction?

Pride indeed. When your theories and postulates become your inviolable essence that is the end of science.

Every socialist believes they can do better than Marx and Engles and make it "work". I don't want to be some marxist's -or Obama's- failed economic experiment.

He certainly used his favorite first person pronoun "I" a lot though, didn't he? B0 a legend in his own mind.

"…bigots loser". You beat me to it, BP…

But Romney is smarmTASTIC. That plus Massachusetts state health care makes his losing not such a great loss.
