C-Span would reveal a more allegorical sense. Both sides of the ‘central/statist coin (Liberal/moderate – democrat/republican)’ need to cut out the carbs and get off their fat asses possibly in time to realize that ‘time’ has passed their useless coprolites by; possibly they should retain them intact for archaeologists.
We need to increase our footprint on any of the incumbant Congress Critters. Get new blood in there and boot them if they don’t get it right.
But, but, Obama doesn’t like big government. He said so himself:
There are two kinds of “action” just like there are two kinds of “change.” There’s the kind that makes things better, and then there’s the kind that makes things worse. We all know by now which kind of change Obama was talking about. It would have been nice if people had determined which kind of change he meant before they voted for him.
our footprints on slime are meaningless. ‘Hope’ has been perverted. You will find the results in the alternate column of slime.
Reorder; restart; begin anew. God Help Us.
Liar.
Those of us having experience with Democrats know that big givernment is in their DNA…a birth defect…kinda like munching on paint chips.
TOTUS/potus/barry/hussein/zerobama/
BHO is the new LIAR CZAR.
Only he could do it that well, jus’ ax him.
What a great sign, conservation where it belongs, in Gov.
Sweet signage!!!
*That’s a great one; And they had better heed the advice soon or many of them will be booted out on their collective asses come 2010 and 2012.
*This revolution will be televised!
*I read the U.S. House staff report from 7/7/2009 on “The Role of Government Affordable Housing in Creating the Global Financial Crisis of 2008″; Many, many bad actors show up in the report; They should all be turned out of D.C. at the very least, but Gitmo as a permanent home would be more appropriate.
*Independent of Party, United for Liberty; Beware Dems and RINOs; Support true conservative candidates.
I just got an email from Senator Jim Webb on cap and tax. Woulld someone tell me what he is saying. Sounds like reservations, but then it sounds like he is for it. Every missive I get from our representatives is like this.
I know I’d like to add my footprints to a few government types hind parts!
Only one thought when I saw that sign:
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS………….
What he’s saying is, “I’m voting for this massive bill that will essentially quadruple your costs for everything. Thanks for writing but I really don’t give a damn what you think because you didn’t include an extremely large check for my re-election campaign in your letter.”
Does that clear things up for you?
Take a look at the one I got from Congressman Butterfield of NC a few weeks ago.
They all seem to be trying the stealth approach and play both sides of the fence. In my opinion, they all need to go who do not flat out reject bills that destroy liberty and freedom. No ammending, no alternative bill, and do it on day #1.
Otherwise, you look like a jumbo horses ass to me and I won’t support you.
Everything that followed after this was accepting the enemy’s premise and defeat was certain. They don’t fight, they cave in to the party in control.
So if your congresscritter, who is supposed to be a conservative, plays follow the leader with the liberals, he’s not a conservative…just another political opportunist.
And now, a Headliner on MSN homepage:
Translation (without reading it):
Global Climate Change & Racism.
Translation: More government and more taxes.
That’s the generic translation for everyting Oboingo says.
committed your Congressman Butterfield of NC is indeed one the of wackos with “saddling Americans with outdated energy sources that pollute our planet”.
I take it he is a nice safe wacko D district. I await word of his taking a sail boat to DC and turning off the AC in his office and home.
I, too care about my planet. But frankly I am not sold on the idea that man is responsible for climate change. When I recalled the ice age and other dramatic climate changes from the past, I made it one of my pet projects to find out as much as possible about this issue. The climate events of the past certainly were not a result of man’s use of fuel.
I have learned that scientists who do not believe in man made climate change have been stifled and their voices are not given any credibility. I watched a video that explained global warming and challenged Al Gore’s theories. The study done by the UN has names of scientists who did not even support the theory. And now global warming has suddenly become “climate change”! I guess that covers it either way it may go. How convenient.
So, yes I have reservations about our representatives, including yourself, levying the highest tax in the history of this country for a theory that cannot be proved beyond a shadow of a doubt. If this was just an issue where we have a difference of opinion, we could agree to disagree and go on our way. But there is a lot riding on your opinion and approval of this tax.
Your approval of this tax is going to impact every tax paying citizen in this country and alter their standard of living. And when you add the additional taxes citizens will soon incur for health care, the deficit, community organizations and other policy initiatives you support, you will find that this region’s citizens will not continue to support you.
Please give this some real thought and don’t just fall in step for everything our party tells you.
It sounds like both of these Congress critters (Webb and Butterfield) love talking out of both sides of their mouth with their long winded replies. It reminds me of the old military saying, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS!”
It really is time to drain the swamp at all levels of government. From what I read yesterday the unionized simple servants of the People’s Republic of Kalifornia are threatening to go on strike. I do believe they may find they have unintentionally solved their financial crisis if the proposed strike would be initiated.
Fire the Bums! No more incumbants!
Amen! And again I say Amen!
I want the bumper sticker!
go to cafe express and create your own and even sell them…you’ll make some $$$ off this one…
Both of those replies remind me of all the bills being passed in Congress. Long, windy, and unreadable. I guess these guys took a lesson from that. If they make their letters long enough, you won’t bother to read their two-faced, moronic reply.
No incumbents after 2010!
Go Sarah!
Thanks for the comments on Webb’s e-mail. You all get an A in comprehension. I have received a good number of responses like this from our congress critters and it just infuriates the blank out of me.
My response is a no vote come reelection day, but I wish we could find a way to get their attention peacefully before that.
Our local Tea Party on the fourth went ompletely ignored by the local media. We had a thousand people there.
These Obama quotes are from this article.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090711/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama
“No business wants to invest in a place where the government skims 20 percent “off the top,”
Oh REALLY? So our taxation, especially of business that is higher than 20 percent will have no impact on investment in AMERICA?
Then there’s this:
“No country is going to create wealth if its leaders exploit the economy to enrich themselves,”
Again, oh REALLY? “Enrich” can mean way more than money. Political power comes to mind. So we have a political class in the US that feels its their right to be in power and stay in power at the expense of everyone else including everyone elses freedom. And you don’t want to call that exploitation Mr. Obama?
Then this is really insightful:
“To realize that promise, we must first recognize a fundamental truth that you have given life to in Ghana: Development depends upon good governance. That is the ingredient which has been missing in far too many places, for far too long. That is the change that can unlock Africa’s potential.”
Wow, leftist mindset dead center. IF the government was better the people in Africa, and I assume everywhere else in the world, would be freer, better, more prosperous. All good flows from the government. Wrong. I worked in East Africa for 6 years. The problem in Africa is Africans and their value system. Sorry, but there it is. The people are not offending and indignant about the corruption. They are JEALOUS. The people wish they were in the position to take advantage of the system for their own personal gain. They aren’t mad about it, they are jealous they aren’t the ones benefitting.
Mr. Obama has forgotten that America became what America was because its government was an extension of the people. It was the people’s values that determined how the government ran, what the government looked like. America became great because for the first time a country’s government flowed FROM the people TO the government. Good came from the PEOPLE. The people received that “good” from their Creator. America lost its way when the political class slowly moved the source of “good” from God and the people who are governed TO the government. The leftist liberal mindset is the government is God and all good comes from the government.
We as a country have been slowly crumbling ever since the “flow from, flow to” equation changed.
How does the mindset that has resulted in our slowly crumbling offer hope and the chance of freedom and improvement in the rest of the world Mr. Obama?
I could go on. This speech is quite significant revealing Mr. Obama’s mindset and his world view. Which of course is why Africa will never improve and corruption will never stop. The problem with Africa is in general Africans. It is a value system problem. The very thing they need will never happen, they need to be told to change their value system.
Lastly is this:
Here is how the process works in most of Africa. The winning/ruling party gets the money and spends the money where they want. The money of course is spent in areas, on tribes, given to people groups who voted for the leaders/ruling party. Mugabe in Zimbabwe is good example. But it is common practice. Kenya is a good example of how it works as well.
Ok, so this is the news this week:
Areas that voted for Obama are getting way more money than anyone else.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-07-08-redblue_N.htm
Seems to me Obama telling Africa to stop the corruption is the epitome of hypocrisy. What “corruption” looks like in Africa, is happening right now in America.
Geez….. is it 2012 yet?
js,
I had the same view of BHO’s speech.
Africa’s only problem is dictators and ideologies oppressing the people. Obama can shake his finger all he wants, but he has the very same mindset.
“Africa’s only problem is dictators and ideologies oppressing the people.”
Sorry but I disagree. Africa’s problem is Africans. Unless they replace their current value system, dictators will continue to come and go. Africans need to change Africa. However telling a group of people their values are the problem and need to be replaced, why that’s the church’s job yes? Unlikely to happen.
BTW, this is going to be a slow day on this thread but I highly recommend the todays Riehl World View link above. We really need to rally around Sarah Palin if for no other reason than snapping out of this “do nothing” funk. The GOP game plan is to keep blasting away at Obama and run again as the default party with no message with the same lame shape-shifting candidates. It is not a given that conservatives will do well in 2010 if we leave it to the GOP. Sarah gets us back into the game in time to make big gains not only in Congress, but within the GOP as well.
Spare me the United Establishment Party mantra “she’s an unqualified light-weight”. These are the people who are at war with conservatives and have hermetically sealed both wings of the party to keep conservatives out. We are going to have to blast our way back in and, like it or not, until someone else steps up (don’t hold your breath) Sarah is the only only game in town.
The clock is ticking on 2010 and it’s getting late.
Gee…no kidding! Seems our government has ignored that. But, if you know world history, a corrupt government, intent on grabbing as much power as possible, first, creates an enemy (the rich in our case) and passes new regulations and controls, to look like the heroes. Unfortunately, the whole population loses as liberty is lost to “fight” the “new enemy”.
My husband read an article to me from the web last night that said President Obama is in Africa right now talking about GW while Chicago is experiencing its coolest summer in 108 years.
Tea Party Float kicked out forever from the Bristol, RI 4th of July Parade, the oldest 4th parade in the nation. They were booted because of people not connected with the float were passing out pocket Constitutions and Declaration of Independence.
Yeah, what were they thinking? Can’t have any references to our founding documents at Fourth of July celebrations. Too subversive.
Probably afraid someone would read them.
“I am not sold on the idea that man is responsible for climate change.”
This is how we on the right get ourselves into trouble. The issue is not does man have an impact on the climate. We do. It is absurd to believe we do not. All living and even some non-living things have an impact on the climate.
By making the argument “Does man impact climate change… Is man responsible for global warming…” we allow the argument to change from something that does not support Al Gore and the enviromnental whackos TO an argument that ends up supporting Al Gore.
The question is NOT do human beings impact the climate. The question is, is the impact NORMAL.
And the answer is YES, climate changes. Climate changing is normal. There is nothing to “fix”.
#15 committed said:
But back in the seventies, the science was “clear” that the planet was cooling, not warming. On July 9, 1971, the Washington Post published a story headlined “U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming.” It told of a prediction by NASA and Columbia University scientist S.I. Rasool. Writing in Science, he argued that in “the next 50 years” fine dust that humans discharge into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel will screen out so much of the sun’s rays that the Earth’s average temperature could fall by six degrees.
Aiding Rasool’s research was a computer program developed by Dr. James Hansen — the same NASA scientist who is now predicting a global warming disaster. By the mid-seventies, global cooling became the consensus, and comments like the following were common:
So who should we believe? After ten years of cooling, should we be putting out more carbon to warm the planet now, or less carbon to prevent future warming? The only thing certain is that the so-called scientists, who make their living on the public dime, will always be predicting some kind of disaster around the corner and an increase in funding to prevent it.
The reason they now call it “climate change” instead of “global warming” is to hedge their bets. If the climate warms a little, it’s a pending disaster that requires massive funding to prevent. If the climate cools a little, it’s still a pending disaster that has to be addressed. It will never end as long as big government directs the flow of research money based on the current fad.
Yay Sarah! Washington Times reports that she plans to campaign in support of CONSERVATIVES of any party.
Third party baby! Has anyone noticed that the Blue Dogs are now more integral in the fight to stop amnesty, gun control, Cap and Trade and nationalized health care than the lame Republicans? The only time Republicans take a stand is just before the RNC sends me another “Stop Obama Survey”. The GOP isn’t interested in us conservatives, just our money.
More than half of all conservative Republican voters have already re-registered independent and with conservatism on ascendancy, both Dems and Reps may be fighting for their very existence in 2012.
Go Sarah!
“Reduce your government footprint”
Brilliant! Wouldn’t we all like to leave our “footprints” on the backsides of most congresscritters?
Same leftist liberal philosphy and world view on display here:
“Gore’s call for “global governance” echoes former French President Jacques Chirac’s call in 2000.”
http://www.climatedepot.com/a/1893/Gore-US-Climate-Bill-Will-Help-Bring-About-Global-Governance
Pasadena Phil said, ” The GOP game plan is to keep blasting away at Obama and run again as the default party with no message with the same lame shape-shifting candidates. It is not a given that conservatives will do well in 2010 if we leave it to the GOP. Sarah gets us back into the game in time to make big gains not only in Congress, but within the GOP as well.”
So true. The NRSC, RNC, NRCC are about incumbancy! There are a relatively few incumbants who get it, but way too few!
It is getting late and we are going to have to get in the trenches and shake up the Republican Party establishment! Independents can’t win and must close around conservatives. Same for conservative democrats.
I don’t know. Personally, I like this one, which I shot last Friday when Gov. Palin announced that she was leaving office.
Then again, I’m biased.
I looked up the Butterfield guy from NC on that site. His site claims he’s a black guy from down east. But he’s the whitest black guy I’ve ever seen according to the picture. . . check out his bio page with his picture:
His father was a well respected dentist and civic leader in Wilson for many years and was the first black elected official elected in eastern North Carolina in the 20th century.
Figuring out whether he’s for or against the cap and trade is easier than figuring out if he’s white or black (not that it matters so much, but I’m just sayin it’s bizarre). It says he’s in the Congressional Black Caucus, but he looks as caucasian as anyone to me.
TA, from his biography:
“Congressman Butterfield serves on the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee and serves on three subcommittees. He serves on the Subcommittees on Energy and Environment, where he sits as Vice-Chairman; the Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection; and the Subcommittee on Communications, Technology and the Internet.”
He’s a BIG supporter of the crap and trade bill and the health care reform bill.
I know he supports cap and trade. . . that’s the easy part. He looks white. It says he’s black. I’m trying to figure out if he’s black or white.
Michael Jackson was whiter. lol
If the “normal” changes, caused by man, are found to be highly detrimental to continued life on planet Earth, should we still attempt to change nothing?
Touche’
I believe it is a little haughty for man to believe he has that significant an impact on world climate. I found an article that says basically the same thing. An exerpt here:
So go on then, Prof. What makes you sure that you’re right and all those scientists out there saying the opposite are wrong? ‘I’m a geologist. We geologists have always recognised that climate changes over time. Where we differ from a lot of people pushing AGW is in our understanding of scale. They’re only interested in the last 150 years. Our time frame is 4,567 million years. So what they’re doing is the equivalent of trying to extrapolate the plot of Casablanca from one tiny bit of the love scene. And you can’t. It doesn’t work.’
http://www.spectator.co.uk/the-magazine/features/3755623/meet-the-man-who-has-exposed-the-great-climate-change-con-trick.thtml
“If the “normal” changes, caused by man, are found to be highly detrimental to continued life on planet Earth, should we still attempt to change nothing?”
An absurd question.
First of all would you need to “prove” something that was “highly deterimental” with tricks of science? Would that not be self evident? If so, is man made global warming self evident in that way?
Why no it isn’t. At best its a trick of science and we already have information that much of the data collected was in error due to sensors not being place correctly.
The evidence comes no where near pointing to “deterimental”.
Secondly the idea of things that happen on this earth having an impact on climate being normal and that normal being seen by changing climates to both warmer and colder is assumed to be bad or deterimental. Climate and temps have changed on the earth for a very long time and are going to continue to change. We do not want climate and temps to stay the same. Change is a good thing in terms of life and that includes temp changes.
The idea that mankind is going to win the day, either in a good way or a bad way, over the earth is absurd. Its the other way around.
We need to be good stewards of the earth’s resources. You bet. That does not mean the politics and the psuedo-science behind global warming is sound nor that the governance desired by the global warming camp is a good thing.
our “footprint” should be up the asses of these asses. All of them. I can’t wait for the revolution to start. I’ll be the one up in front with my bazookas.
I firmly believe that the number one cause of global warming is: Inaccurate Computer Models.
It would be a whole lot easier for me to believe that Global Warming was a problem if the earth’s climate wasn’t cooling at the rate of 6 degrees Celsius per century like it has since 1998.
Great minds must think alike! As an editor for the Tea Party Nation Newsletter we frequently choose a tea party sign as the photo of the week!
