Not all conservatives are singing O-Kumbaya
I respect the historic tradition of inauguration day, not the cult of personality driving the schlock festivities now taking place.
Pomp and circumstance have been replaced with pimp and self-aggrandizement — all topped with a heapful of double standards.
I’m not the only one who thinks so. Politico’s Daniel Libit has a piece this morning quoting several conservatives willing to dissent from the Beltway O-Kumbaya. The intro:
With Barack Obama’s approval ratings in the 70s and his visage plastered on every shop window and Metro card in Washington, it’s hard to remember that 58 million Americans voted for the other guy.
Even President Bush — who presumably counts himself among that group — said last week that Obama’s inauguration is “a moment of hope and pride.”
That’s not exactly how Michelle Malkin describes it.
“Jan. 20 has turned into a schlock inauguration, (where) every last moocher has come to cash in on Obama,” says the conservative blogger and pundit. “There are some of us who want to bang our heads against the wall.”
While most Republicans now in office are saying all the right things about Tuesday’s proceedings — roll tape on “peaceful transfer of power” and “historic moment for the country” sound bites — some conservatives can’t quite get themselves in the “We Are One” mood.
Not even for a day.
On his radio show last week, Rush Limbaugh railed against “people on our side of the aisle who have caved and who say, ‘Well, I hope he succeeds. We have to give him a chance.’”
“Why?” Limbaugh demanded. “They didn’t give Bush a chance in 2000. Before he was inaugurated, the search-and-destroy mission had begun. I’m not talking about search-and-destroy, but I’ve been listening to Barack Obama for a year and a half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don’t want them to succeed.”
I do not pledge allegiance to The Obama States of America.
Getting ready for the countdown.
3, 2, 1…RAAAAAAAACIST!

Sister Toldjah notes that the AP has finally acknowledged the Obama-fest’s pricey pricetag in a dicey economy. ST points out Baghdad Jim McDermott’s disingenuous green defense of Obama-fest and skewers the hypocrisy:
The only thing more pathetic than McDermott’s hypocrisy is the fact that so many Obama worshippers who continue to descend on the Capitol in advance of PEBO’s inauguration are the same types who slammed John McCain as an out-of-touch rich guy living off his wife’s mega-wealth, so out of touch that he couldn’t remember how many houses they owned, and also criticizing Gov. Palin for spending decisions on her’s and her family’s wardrobes that she did not make, while at the same they painted Barack Obama as a humble guy who “gets the common man.” How many of these same people (including those in the mainstream press) would be looking the other way if it had been McCain/Palin holding this big, expensive Lincolnesque inaugural ceremony in the middle of this bleak economy?
The numbers would be in the single digits, I suspect.

The schlock inauguration continues: Obama tattoos. Ew.

The all-star video lives up (or down) to expectations. Allah’s got it.

1 blog comment = Hanks, Lefties and gays threatening economic doom on anyone who voted for prop 8 and protests and marches on those of faith for freely expressing their beliefs ?
Yeah I can see how on the left that is equal
/eyeroll
His real name is not bobby either. It is some exotic foreign word ( It sounds like peesh )
The difference is, Obama could have proved his eternal worthiness for a 20 dollar money order. Why would a supposedly, intelligent, cool guy like him refuse?
Don’t worry, Mookie just can’t get it (or refuses to). I think its the latter.
I would have covered the cost for him. Just, trying to be helpful. McCain would have been shredded for the same issue.
No, Bobby is the American sounding name he adopted for himself, because he considers himself an American.
Like JTP’s first name not being Joe, in a sense.
His given name is Piyush. He was raised Hindu, but found Christ as a teenager.
I’m having a good laugh at the sore
loserswinners here. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Don’t y’all have some flags to
decoratedesecrate?Thanks for the pronounciation lesson. Was his birth in the U.S. in question?
Only reason he wont do it is because he his hiding something. And what could he be hiding ?
I wonder why wont someone in Honolulu health dept leak the real details ? Isn’t there one real american working in that office ..
Southpaw: Obamanista’s beat us sore-losers to it.

William, your comments are always intelligent and thoughtful so please don’t sell yourself short here. You know perfectly well there are thousands of people who feel the was the person who made that comment feels. Go over to Free Republic and look at the hundreds of threads that talk about Obama not being the president of “real Americans”. They’re legion. There are lists being created of companies that sponsored any of the inaugural events so that they can be boycotted. Same with celebrities who appear at the events or who donated to him. Boycotts against Krispy Kreme, Pepsi, Coke, HBO, Disney and countless others are being organized. I’m not saying either side is right. What I’m saying is that it’s disingenuous to think that this kind of behavior is exclusive to one side.
usa_usa: Remember Vince Foster ?
I understand your support for him. But after seeing his speech to his native community, I completely soured on him. Maybe he was just being dishonest at that time. But he really seemed to be emphasizing his asian roots over American values.
I’m surprised Blago is still breathing. No conservatives are threatening him.
I’m not advocating anyone yet. No one on the horizon is willing to stand tall for what they believe. I want a candidate that believes the Constitution means something.
Where is the sec. of state in line of succession…Just wondering. sarc
Don’t be overwhelmed by this side show; It’s all staged by the left and their enablers in the media. There are indeed at least 58 million people that are less than impressed by this charade but they are being made invisible by the media propaganda machines.
Bobby Jindal Wiki
I might discover a position/ideological issue that’ll turn me off Jindal, but excluding the minor candidates (like Duncan Hunter, the GOP candidate I sent money to) he was as good or better than any major GOP candidates in 2008.
Suicide?
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA when pigs fly.
After all, We would not want to upset the ( reference to female dog, deleted )
Well, maybe assisted suicide…That’s PC, isn’t it ?
FamilyMan: I thinkyou see the direction I’m coming from…
Republicans are damaged beyond repair. They are trying to be more and more like democrats to win more votes from idiots. Palin is the best hope right now.
I’m seeing a trend here last few months. When MM blogs about media bias, immigration, Prop 8, JTP, military heroes, etc., response is tepid. When she blogs about BHO, the trolls come out in force. Cult of personality?
Is his experience and policy so soft that he cannot suffer criticism?
G.W. Bush had NO suicides in his administration…Top That, Obama-philes.
But don’t all politicians pander like that? Remember when Romney went to Miami wearing a guayabera and bungled that quote in Spanish about liberty and freedom?
For SecState to be POTUS, The Anointed One, Sloe Joe, Stretch Pelosi and whoever replaces the Klansman would all have to die/be permanantly disabled.
Not impossible, considering it is Her Thighness
Let’s ignore, hunting with Cheney.
That wasnt the issue here. Of course there are those on the right and left who dont like the outcome of elections.
The difference is that the left actively tries to overcome an election via some mechanism while the right simply grumbles and goes on blogs and ultimately takes little action.
Yes is some call for action but I dont see where Michelle posting a thread about not agreeing with Obama on issues is the same as calling for an election result to be overturned because some disagree with the outcome (See Prop
Yes some will say that Obama shouldnt be president but isnt vast movement to overturn the election results.
You think the Prop. 8 threads are tepid? They average about 500 posts.
Not all that unbelievble…Although, Pelosi would have to pass from her earthly rewards…
Obama is an arrogant, dangerous ignoramus with a self-appointed halo. How’s that for Kumbaya?
Mookie – How many conservatives formed mobs, threatened Obamabots or forced people from their jobs because they voted for b. hussein? How many b. hussein voters have been attacked by angry mobs of conservatives??
There is NO moral equivalence between the Prop 8 mobs trying to overturn a lawful election, that ammended the Ca Constitution after having already voted for a law first… only to have it overturned, and conservatives trying to get b. hussein to show his freaking Birth Certificate?
You draw the most insane moral equivalences.
for one thing he has his hand out for federal assistance like dem governors. That shows you how much he believes in fiscal responsibility.
No, I agree that Michelle isn’t posting a call for action to get Obama out of office. I think what I was trying to get at is that anyone who has a serious interest in politics, as everyone here does, has some built in sore loser in them. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. It keeps you on your toes. There’s a great book about college basketball called “To Hate Like This Is To Be Happy Forever” about the Duke/North Carolina rivalry. In a way, that applies to politics as well. We’re all guilty of it at some point/points.
Thank God for the internet, though. Can you imagine what our family and friends would think of us if we didn’t have a place to vent?
You’re entitled to think that. But you’ve missed my point entirely.
Romney is the masterful panderer. That is why he got thumped by even Huckabee in red states. He/his associates tried to slime Palin after election. He would never get my vote.
Not lately, Hanks was almost 500 but most of the others were <100. Nice try.
The troll will not abide any criticism of BHO.
Why would he do that? It seems he needs all the money he can get his hands on to pay for his coronation.
He proclaimed his administration would be very accessible, and he’s proving it. He’s selling his access to anyone able to pay (except N. Korea…that wouldn’t look right). Upwards of $150 million so far for his big event. How many college educations could that money pay for?
The troll = did not mean Mookie personally. My apologies, meant trolls in general.
YES
Yea, I posted a few comments on the first page of that thread. Sums up the differences between liberals and conservatives in a nutshell. I just don’t see conservatives desecrating the American flag to make a point. When someone like Bill Ayers tramples on the the American flag, he loses all credibilty with me and I have no interest in anything he has to say.
From the land of foregone conclusions…
That may be true with the liberals who post here, but I believe that most of the strong conservatives who post here just want the Democrats to play by the same set of rules that they impose on others.
For decades, the Democrat Party, and the twisted minds that control it’s direction, have found it impossible to accept a defeat. In their minds, the only way conservatism can win elections is by cheating the system.
I’m not a bitter loser. I just what the politicians to adhere to our Constitution.
FamilyMan: You are right.
Wow. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen here in a long time, and based on the number of conservatards here, that’s saying something.
It’s over. The USA you grew up on is OVER. Demographically, economically, spiritually, scientifically, intellectually, politically – OVER. We can’t go back. The world has changed. We have changed. CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE. Don’t you get it?
Adapt and evolve. The time is now. YES WE CAN.
Good grief, the man shoots ONE lawyer and people get upset-geesh. Come on dude, it is not like there is a shortage of lawyers. It is perfectly safe to go hunting with VP Cheney–just hang back a touch.
absolutely TRUE!! now its the USSA a socialist hell-hole, I’m sure you’ll be happy..
go defend your country, cause I won’t, and my kids sure as hell won’t!
Hence the problem is revealed.
Did you forget that virtually half of the country did not vote for Obama? This proves that it is not over; just the election (duhh)
True enough AZ: It’s not like they are an endangered species…LOL
That is also my feeling. All too often, they break the rules, and if caught, hire legal shape-shifters to mold an interpretation of the law, far beyond what was intended, to absolve them of any wrong-doing.
Absent absolution, they meekly claim that it was “an honest mistake” or “an oversight” or whatever happens to be the phrase du jour. Take “Chris Dodd” or “Charlie Rangel” for recent examples. They will NOT be held to answer for their feigned ignorance of the law…and these guys still have Chairmanships!
Tyoical comment…protect us, while we insult, disparage you.

It’s not your father’s country anymore:
http://www.esquire.com/features/data/how-obama-won-0209?click=main_sr
Obama won on the back of a worshipful main stream media and an 8 to 1 margin in money. Many, even most, Obama voters did not vote for a man mentored by Communists like Frank Marshall Davis’ American hating anti-Semites like Edward Said and Rashid Khalidi; and terrorist bombers and their possibly cop killing common law spouses like Ayers and Dohrn. They voted for an intentionally vague “Hope” and “Change”.
Dems seem to have means and motive for a permanent one party state. They are one vote shy on SCOTUS, we can hope either they won’t actually act to create a one party state, or elections will change things sufficiently before they can ACORNize the vote. 2010 may not be enough time to monkey-wrench the system to guarantee sufficient fraud, but with a compliant media, 2010 may not be enough time for the average voter who has decent morality and belief in self-reliance but was conned into voting Obama to realize that “HOPE” and “CHANGE” were code-words for “MARX” and “LENIN”.
You know whats funny Eagle, a study was done that shows more people that live in Urban area’s have mental problems. I think I see the connection. Not that it matters, one good war, problem solved. Cities are little more than Targets.
Anyone notice how Obama’s call for moderation and lax spending for his little party, turned up being a 152 MILLION dollar one? 4 times Bush’s. And there is no getting over it, people like you Eagle are now happy and think as your a Urban Dweller that you are superior, and that us poor dumb country folk should do whats “best” for us.
What will happen has happend and will happen again. The Republic is dead and a civil war shall happen with in the next few years. Or a breakup as a result of regional conflicts. That or the absorbation of the US by another power. This falling out started in the 1970′s and gained momentum in the 90′s only 9/11 has kept that at bay, and with the short sightedness of the goverment and by proxy the American people that has been forgotton. Obama only one because of a slim popular vote, and a massive “landslid” electorate that reflects the devide of this nation. American isn’t special all nations fall. And a Republic never survives a hard time with out becoming an Empire, something the American people don’t have the stomach for.
Someone has made an extreme assumption, which may shed light on the distorted point of view we are continually bombarded with.
This is everyone’s country as we have experienced it. I only want change for the better, not to “embrace” change just for the sake of change, and to stop the better aspects from being polluted.
My father’s country…yes. My country…yes. Our country…yes.
Socialist country…no, at least not yet.
We all influence the future. May the best aspects win, but let us not conclude that the best of the country before I was born (Father’s Country?), has disappeared just because Obama won. Please.
Can USA survive two socialist (OK one socialist followed by a marxist ?)presidents in a row ?
Go back and read the after action stories on that event.
The lawyer blew it by walking ahead of a hunting party.
I’d go birding with Cheney any day.
what eagle has forgotten is that the Lord rules the nations and puts on the throne whom HE will….
and it looks like He doesn’t have good plans for the USA…
its gonna be a wild ride…but the US must decline, abandon israel…and the european union must rise….so the beast can raise his wounded head…
all is going according to HIS plan.
Bush wasn’t exactly a socialist. He didn’t veto any spending bills the not exactly conservative Republican Congress sent him, and he chose to support the Medicaid drug expansion. That may have been political, to deny the Democrats an issue. Of course, trying to be a slightly less socialist version of a socialist (I think beyond socialist to full bore Marxist) party leads in only a slightly slower trip down the path to socialism.
Ramos and Campeon have not been pardoned, and Bush seems willing to kick the can on Iran and nuclear weapons to a man who may actually welcome a nuclear Iran as another step toward destroying the supposed hemogeny of the American super-power.
Does anybody really think Obama would use military force to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons?
Crime, poverty, hatred, treachery, greed, corruption, sloth, discontent.
Which of those is some guy from Chicago going to solve?
Two things that haven’t changed since my fathers’ time: The virtues of self-reliance and self-discipline. Hope and change come from within. No politician with a slick dog and pony show is going to change that.
Wow, how did you miss he most recent and the biggest socialist act ? Hint: it involves billions, bailout
Re: Hunting with Cheney….Take Pelosi with you.
Esquire Magazine exit poll? That’s a reliable source of accurate information…
Seriously, Obama won for three reasons: 1) money – vast amounts of untraceable campaign contributions; 2) he is a fairly articulate black man, who was supported by guilt-ridden white folks, and white power brokers (who pull the strings); and 3) he was able to take advantage of gullible people who fell for the Democrat’s tried and true message of hope and hyperbole.
His ascendancy, IMO, is doomed to failure. I think we’ll see that his supporters are the same kinds of morons who sign mortgages without reading the documentation.
The question is, how long will it take for buyer’s remorse to set in? These savvy voters will quickly buy into the inevitable Republican blame game. Personal responsibility is a term that is foreign to most liberals.
You left out moral turpitude.
Cause and effect do not exist independently. George Bush was not blackmaing banks to give home loans to people with poor or no credit histories.
Joe Baca and special interest cacauses in Washington were busy doing that.
The notion that everyone deserves to own a home is a socialist one.
Thank God for the playoffs!
Brain-dead Maryland legislator sums it up perfectly: “It doesn’t matter that the state of Maryland is broke as long as Barack Obama is President of the United States. This is great.” (Maryland State Sen. Lisa A. Gladden [D-Baltimore]).
That’s the mentality.
How did I forget the bailout?
I must have been in a generous mood.
But that is the Anglo/French/Swedish Euro-socialism. It produces a slow decline, a permanent unemployed class approaching 10%, and whether cause or effect, is accompanied by a post-Christian view of life and morality, where sexual license is high, but birthrates are so low that obviously disloyal immigrants must be brought in because there are not enough young to fill all the jobs.
Russia is an interesting compare/contrast example as they slip back towards full blown Stalin flavored Marx, they have high mortality rates, very low birthrates, partly via the most common Russian form of birth control, which is abortion, but they are nationalistic or xenophobic enough not to welcome mass immigration. I think the USSR did a good enough job destroying the practice of Christianity (and persecuting Jews), that an irreligious people who didn’t share in the early gains of the capitalistic experiment have nothing to turn to but heavy drinking and casual sex for comfort.
We’re halfway there, this country has the birth rate to maintain itself without immigration (although the Ponzi scheme of social security demands faster population growth than native US citizens and their just above replacement birth rates would provide).
Bush meant well, but his second term did not go well, and my biggest issue of all, he seems content accepting a nuclear armed Iran.
He is a fool if he thinks Obama would do anything to stop Iran. And Bush is reported to have shot down an Israeli proposal to try to stop Iran’s nukes by refusing to allow Israeli planes to overfly Iraq.

“You’re traveling through another dimension — a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That’s a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the Twilight Zone!”
I hate this news if only for the fact that it might make John McCain happy.
No Kumbaya here… just sort of laughing as we watch the country officially and completely being flushed down the toilet.
At the same time, nothing is ever on TV so I do have Fox News on in the background most of the time and I’ve heard the annoying clip from Obama’s speech today (I think it was today) where he talks about us being “One”, and then he goes on to list a bunch of races, “straight and gay”, etc. etc. Um, why are you dividing us up in to minority groups… while claiming we’re all the same, equal, and “one”?
We’ve all seen this before, but this clip is particularly obnoxious… Especially given his race card playing, terrorist befriending, black separatist church attending ways… Oh, did I mention that he’s surrounded by crooks and scandal, and his idea of “change” is appointing unqualified people to important positions (not to mention radical socialists), as well as mountains of Clinton people.
Kumbay-this, Barry and friends.
My sister who lives in Seattle reports at the grocery store they now have Obama cookies. I didn’t believe it, but she says it’s true.
I still say San Fran Nan will have Biden done in, encourage SCOTUS to remove Obummer from office for not meeting Constitutional requirements, indict Feinstein for certifying him and have her own Coronation Party before the end of Summer 2009.
Wait – I thought that attorney disparaged Cheney’s gay daughter. So, in reality, the Libs should be deifying Cheney since he shot a homophobe. I’m just saying…
Just trying to set the record straight.

I just watched both those games. Is the Universe going to implode now that the Cardinals have made the Super Bowl?
/doublyofftopic
Driving earlier today was a nightmare with that P.F. Chang’s marathon.
I, on the other hand, want Obama to be a successful President… Because in order to do so, he must adopt Conservative principles!
Why This Conservative Hopes President Obama Will Succeed
Agree. I have my doubts that he will see the light, but there is always…um…hope that he will change.
1. Freedom of Choice Act
2. His views of
redistribution of wealthsocialism and the U.S. Constitution.3. His view that “we cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
4. His $845 billion Global Poverty Act.
5. His plans to disarm this country.
6. His appointments of woefully unprepared and, in some cases, dishonest people to key positions of his administrations (i.e. CIA, Sec. of State, Sec. of Treasury, etc.).
7. His ideas for a $1.2 trillion “stimulus” package. (When will those in D.C. ever learn that Keynesian economics never works?)
8. His pushing for gays serving openly in the military. (Besides the obvious issues, whenever I have a gay Soldier who shows up late to work, before I punish him I have to prepare myself for the inevitable charge that I’m discriminating against him.)
9. Biden’s call for support: “And he’s gonna need help [when a crisis hits]. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.” (So, in other words, “don’t think too hard. Just support our guy Obama.” I’ll pass.)
So, why do I hope Obama fails? Maybe it has something to do with what’s best for the country.
Jeff2161 said: (#136–I was out having a pleasant dinner with friends, so I’m late for this round of The Game)
Yep. I say the same.
from watching the MSM you would think this is the first time presidents have changed and that every person who voted voted for 0bama.
Its just took me parts of 3 days to just read my buyers contract alone. And its a standard statewide contract. (I found several discrepancies that the broker had to fix, that could have easily screwed me over by them filling in the doc at a later date without my approval)
I havent even gotten to the soil analysis/reports or the HOA or the community or the local mill tax boards or the loan doc itself.
And car dealers hate me. Before I take delivery I actually read the contracts line by line at their desks while I am in their office. Its usually like nothing they have ever expereinced before in their career.
Watching what is happening in Washington, D.C., makes me wonder if the USSR won the “cold war” after all…“Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!”
Me too and yes I did know that: I just could not pass a chance to tell a lawyer joke.
Lock and Load laddie.
If Bush had gotten only 1/4 of the positive stories from the MSM during his 2001 inauguration, he would be in better shape today.
On the other hand, when Obama succeeds in flushing the constitution, the MSM will sing his praises.
Some things just don’t make any sense.
Speaking of “peaceful transitions”, Karl Rove was on this a.m. and told about when the republicans took office in 2000, and the Clinton dems left the White House. Apparently, the “rumors” of them trashing the place and stealing things was true. Another example of Bush taking the high road and not making a big deal out of it. Rove said his computer had some foul smelling stuff poured on it. The “W”s on the computer keyboards were stolen, and numerous offices were vandalized. Yes, those classy liberals! In sharp contrast, Rove said that the White House and all the offices will be left in perfect condition for the new administration. I am so proud to be on the side of the people who have respect for others, even those we disagree with. That is not to say we can’t call them morons. Because they are. We just wouldn’t vandalize or otherwise harm them.
