<p>One has baggage.</p>
<p>One has blah &#8211; blah &#8211; blah.</p>
<p>If you think you can do a better job &#8211; get out there and run for president.</p>
<p>Otherwise shut the hell up.</p>
<p>You all are starting to sound like a bunch of libs on Air America.</p>
<p>Tell us the facts, leave your opinions in the trash, and go forward.</p>
<p>The best thing about being in America is that ANYONE CAN RUN FOR OFFICE!!!   Evidenced by the shit ass we have in the White House now.</p>
<p>So if someone wants to take up the call to bring this country back to its roots and turn it away from total destruction, we need to respect them for it.</p>
<p>Because you talking heads just want to sit on your asses behind your microphones or computers and bitch and moan like little girls with skint knees.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just WHO THE HELL IS IN CHARGE in DC?</p>
<p>For the love of all that is holy, would you people get on message and stay there!</p>
<p>Gates on Meet the Press yesterday:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s [Lybia] a vital interest of the United States, but we clearly have an interest there,&#8221; Mr. Gates said in an appearance on the NBC News program, &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; as part of a round of appearances on Sunday morning talk shows. (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704308904576226704261420430.html?mod=googlenews_wsj">Source</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p>Evidently that wasn&#8217;t the right answer, as SOS Clinton had to jump in and correct him.</p>
<blockquote><p>Was Hillary Clinton defending the Secretary of Defense . . . or jerking him back into line?</p>
<p>It was a stunning power play.  On Meet The Press this morning, after Defense Secretary Bob Gates conceded that Libya is not a &#8220;vital interest&#8221; of the United States&#8211;but before he could complete his comments&#8211;Hillary cut him off.  She launched into a minute-and-forty-second monologue seeking to justify US military involvement in Libya.</p>
<p>Gates had to sit and take it . . . and never got to say another word. (<a href="http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2011/03/27/meet-press-hillary-big-foots-bob-gates">Source</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p>Now Obama is going on national television to <em>explain</em> his policy in regard to Lybia.</p>
<p>Really folks &#8211; did you think we&#8217;d get anything better when we elected a community organizer as President?  This man does not know how to lead.  He does everything by commitee and shows up to the parade too late.</p>
<p>Clearly, SOS Hillary Clinton has the bigger set in this situation.</p>
<p>Its 3 AM &#8211; where is your Commander In Chief?</p>
<p>White House = Nut House and the inmates are in charge.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Watching Fox News&#8217; Special Report last night revealed that Sean Hannity is right.  Once the Republicans took over the House and started working toward making cuts in the Federal Budget, the Democrats would start spouting off the old lines that Republicans want the elderly to eat dog food, freeze in the winter, etc.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-4016" href="http://joscafe.com/2010/02/18/dumber/dunce-713973"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4016" title="dunce-713973" src="http://joscafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dunce-713973-206x300.jpg" alt="" width="165" height="240" /></a>But its worse actually.  They&#8217;ve pulled the race card.</p>
<p>The Congressional Black Caucus is accusing the GOP of setting back black civil rights in this country.</p>
<p>Really &#8212; I&#8217;m not kidding.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really especially poignant that this year during Black History Month, the Republican leadership has proposed a budget for fiscal year 2011 that will fall most heavily, mind you, on the backs of the most vulnerable in our society: African Americans, Latinos, and poor, those who have been shut of the American dream,&#8221; said Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), who described the cuts as ill-timed and destructive. <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/146633-black-caucus-members-say-gop-budget-a-step-backwards-for-black-americans?page=27">Source</a></p></blockquote>
<p>What is wrong with the cuts Rep Lee?  Is it because maybe some of the hand outs people get in this country are going to change?  Tell me how in the hell cuts to the Federal Budget will push back civil rights?</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;At a time when we should be remembering and uplifting the accomplishments and contributions of African Americans, to the history, culture, civil rights and economy of America, we are literally during this month debating steps that will severely undercut and undermine that legacy,&#8221; she [Lee] said.</p></blockquote>
<p>This women, and the CBC, are on dope.  Anyone who believes this have to be high as a frackin&#8217; kite.  Cuts to the Federal Budget do not take away &#8220;rights&#8221;.</p>
<p>On a side note about Lee, she is behind <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h780/show">HR780 that would defund military operations in Afghanistan</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>H.R.780 - To provide that funds for operations of the Armed Forces in Afghanistan <strong>shall be obligated</strong> and expended only for purposes of providing for the safe and orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan of all members of the Armed Forces and Department of Defense contractor personnel who are in Afghanistan.</p></blockquote>
<p>I wonder if Lee really believes what she was saying, or was she just spouting off the typical Democrat talking points.   There is no way in hell Federal budget cuts would set back Civil Rights in this country for ANYONE.  Its all about wanting to label the Republicans as haters of the black man.</p>
<p>Rep Lee &#8211; check your history and see which party in this country fought against civil rights for the black man.</p>
<blockquote><p>In the 26 major civil rights votes after 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 percent of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 percent of the votes. <a href="http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/12/13/194350.shtml">Source</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Then go eat some crow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It really is so funny this thing we call politics.  If it wasn&#8217;t for politics, I doubt we&#8217;d have the profession of the psychiatrist.   You really have to have your head examined to put yourself out there in politics: whether running for local, state, or federal office. </p>
<p>Seriously.  You have to be crazy to put up with the harassment and bullshit.</p>
<p>Especially if you are a Republican &#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wisgov.state.wi.us/">Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin</a> was elected to that state&#8217;s highest office by the people.   He ran on a platform of cutting the state budget and turning around the dismal state.</p>
<p>So the first thing he wants to do is cut the legs of the unions out from under them.  (Yup, I agree with Obama on something) Pure and simple, the unions are killing the states with demand after demand and producing nothing.</p>
<p>Example:  If the teacher unions were for &#8220;<em>the kids</em>&#8220;, they wouldn&#8217;t have called out sick for the last three days, forcing the schools to close.  This simply proves to the people on the outside that unions are <strong>NOT</strong> for the kids, but for themselves and how much they can suck the tax payer dry for.</p>
<p>Those of us who work in the private sector have to contribute to a portion of our health insurance premium and depending on the type of pension offered, can contribute a portion to that too.  That&#8217;s how its been since I started working eons ago.  I&#8217;ve always contributed to a portion of the premium, if not all in some cases, and had no problem with it. </p>
<p>Tell me why I should pay a portion and some lazy union thug forces me to pay for his too?  They are wanting to spread the wealth, but its ass backwards really. Since unions tend to make more money than the private sector, they are robbing the poor to pay for the rich.  It&#8217;s that bottom up thing the liberals seem to think works.</p>
<p>Unions need to be done away with.   The unions early beginnings helped make for better working conditions and benefits, so we really have no use for them any more.   They just want to exploit &#8220;the worker&#8221; to line their pockets with tax payer money.</p>
<p>By the way, I am not a &#8220;<em>worker</em>&#8221; (that&#8217;s an old style soviet title used by the Nazi&#8217;s).  I am a free American who is employed by a company that believes in what I have to offer to them.  I am paid very well for what I do, including benefits.  Our company does not abuse us in any way shape or form and if we have a grievance, we have avenues to walk them through.  We have no need for a union because our boss and board treat us fairly &#8211; as do 99.99% of the companies in this country.</p>
<p>I hope Governor Walker succeeds and the unions start losing their power all over this country.  I stand with Wisconsin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just ask the survivors of the Fort Hood shooting.</p>
<p>The Army moved to a more &#8220;PC&#8221; way of dealing with people during the Clinton Administration.  Stress cards in Basic Training, Touchy Feely classes, etc.</p>
<p>Now that era is coming back to haunt us.</p>
<p>There are people in the military who don&#8217;t give a damn about political correctness and call a spade a spade; but evidently, none of these people with backbone were around Major Nidal Malik Hasan.    The murders on that day are also the responsibility of Hasan&#8217;s chain of command.  Hind-sight is 20/20, but anyone with two brain cells can understand that PC got in the way of stopping this man.  Hasan should have been kicked to the curb years ago and put on the terrorist watch list.  Instead &#8211; he was allowed to roam free on a military installation, in uniform, to plot and plan a massacre.</p>
<p>Senators Lieberman &amp; Collins have released a report on the shooting, &#8220;<a href="http://hsgac.senate.gov/public/_files/Fort_Hood/FortHoodReport.pdf">A Ticking Time Bomb &#8211; Counterterrorism Lessons from the U.S. Government&#8217;s Failure to Prevent the Fort Hood Attack</a>.&#8221;  (Link is to the .pdf document of the report)</p>
<p>When will the next attack on American soil happen because of Political Correctness?  Only the radical muslim knows.</p>
<p>Its high time this country wake up and realize there are just some people who need to be dealt with harshly; religion, color of skin be damned. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s think about this a second &#8230;.</p>
<p>If you make $1,000 a week from your employer and you spend $2,000 a week, <em>YOU</em> have the deficit.   Now that you&#8217;ve over spent your paycheck, are you going to go to your employer and <em>DEMAND</em> they give you a raise to cover <em>YOUR</em> spending?</p>
<p>Right &#8230; tell me how that works out when you have to go apply for unemployment insurance shortly thereafter.</p>
<p>That is what is going on in Washington and Obama and his ilk are trying the Jedi mind trick on you to believe lowering taxes is increasing the government&#8217;s deficit.</p>
<p>Now, the Government is <em>OUR</em> employee and they are over spending.   They came to us and demanded more paycheck and we said NO on November 12th.</p>
<p>&#8230; and it looks like the President has decided to <a href="http://www.redstate.com/erick/2010/12/07/sticks-stones-and-thin-skinned-barry/">call names, kick rocks and blow snot bubbles</a> instead of admitting the government&#8217;s checking account is overdrawn because it spent too damn much.</p>
<p>So you liberal hacks that are hyperventilating over this latest compromises &#8230;.  get over yourself.</p>
<p>And Mr. President as to your <a href="http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2010/12/hes-a-uniter-obama-calls-republicans-hostage-takers-video/">abysmal press conference today</a> &#8211; grow a pair ( or ask for them back from Michelle).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a simple solution to this TSA sexual assault situation:  Profiling and Pre-screening.</p>
<p>The pre-screening is simply an investigation for those individuals who have prosthetic devices, or like my husband, have shrapnel in their bodies.</p>
<p>It could go something like this:</p>
<p>The SGM and I decide to fly for whatever reason.  He goes to the doctor and receives a certified document stating due to his military service and his time in Afghanistan, he received sharpnel from an IED and there are metal pieces here, here and here in his body.   We then take this document, probably with x-rays, to a local TSA office where he is investigated and its documented about his issues.  Then when we reach the TSA mugging area, his records in the system will show the pre-screening and issues.   There would then be no need for him to be bag-checked physically by a TSA sex-offender to get on the plane.</p>
<p>I highly doubt the new TSA guidelines are to protect the public.  The Obama administration is trying to desensitize us into being treated like the cattle they believe we are so we can become accustom to being treated a such.</p>
<p>This assault on US Citizens most stop now.</p>

<p>&#8230; other than the people in his district that keep returning him to power must have the best drugs street cred can buy.</p>
<p>How else does he keep getting re-elected, even with the cloud of wrong doing floating around him like a Peanut&#8217;s cartoon?</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/16/nyregion/16rangel.html?bl">From the New York Times</a>:<br />
Stephen Crowley/The New York Times</p>
<p>The House ethics committee ruled on Monday that there was evidence to support 13 counts of misconduct by Representative Charles B. Rangel, and began considering whether to formally convict and recommend punishment against him.</p>
<p>The ruling came after a dramatic and puzzling appearance by Mr. Rangel, 80, in which he protested that he could no longer afford to pay his lawyers, and indignantly walked out of the proceedings, calling them unfair.</p>
<p>Committee members were unmoved. Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren, Democrat of California, noted dryly that Mr. Rangel, a Harlem Democrat, was responsible for paying his lawyers and that he had been advised by the committee <strong><em>beginning in 2008</em> </strong>to form a legal defense fund to do so.</p></blockquote>
<p>This confused me too. Rangel has known he was going before the ethics committee for some time now.  I was hearing about this temper tantrum via Fox on XM and the people I follow on Twitter.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bostonherald.com/news/columnists/view.bg?articleid=1293875&amp;position=active"></a>The only reason Rangel pulled this stunt was to try and get sympathy from somewhere. He knows his time is limited.  The Republicans have taken the House and they have the power finally to shut down Fannie Mae &amp; Freddie Mac and further investigate the wrong doings by the likes of Rangle and his ilk that kept F&amp;F from being stopped when GW Bush was in office.</p>
<p>There simply is no excuse for Charlie Rangel to pull the stunt he did yesterday. You can&#8217;t tell me there isn&#8217;t one liberal attorney out there who wouldn&#8217;t have signed on to Frank&#8217;s defense team. I don&#8217;t buy it Charlie &#8212; you are a disgrace to the Congress, Your District, and the American People.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The biggest winner yesterday was the people.  They spoke loudly in many races across the nation.  In local, county and state races, the GOP won handily.</p>
<p>Although the Republicans could not take the Senate (which I never thought they would), the close races for Senate seats sent chills to the incumbents.  People who never had any challengers were challenged.  The DemoRATS may have kept key races, like Harry Reid in Nevada and Boxer in California, they had to really campaign to keep their seats.</p>
<p>Alabama did something it hasn&#8217;t done since the 1800&#8242;s &#8211; it went Republican in the State government.</p>
<p>The people have made a change Barrack Obama couldn&#8217;t.</p>
<p><strong>W</strong>e <strong>T</strong>he <strong>P</strong>eople have spoken.</p>
<p>&#8230; and we will continue to watch.</p>
<p>Enjoy your victories today, but be prepared to get to work on the hard issues tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All throughout the Obama-Care fight, Republicans and some Democrats repeatedly said with O-Care everyone&#8217;s premiums would go up and some people would lose their coverage.</p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/06/15/obama-if-you-like-your-doctor-you-can-keep-your-doctor/">Obama said otherwise &#8230;.</a></p>
<p>But we knew it was a lie then and now we have further proof it was a lie.</p>
<p>Caller to Rush Limbaugh today read him letters he received from HHS Sebilious in May 2010 that he would not lose his coverage through Medicare Advantage.  He received another letter in August (I believe) from his insurance carrier for Medicare Advantage, advising him they will no longer provide him coverage under Medicare Advantage.   The caller went on to tell Rush he has been quoted a plan by his insurance agent for $2500.  I didn&#8217;t catch if that was for an annual policy, but probably is.  Rush asked the caller what he was paying before and told Rush just co-pays and deductibles.</p>
<p>Rush directed his listeners to the Politico (a very left leaning website) and this article:   <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1010/43529.html">Medicare actuary: Reform will cost some seniors</a></p>
<blockquote><p>A Medicare official concedes that seniors may have to dig deeper into their wallets next year thanks to the health care law.</p>
<p>The new analysis obtained by POLITICO finds the health care overhaul will result in increased out-of-pocket costs for seniors on Medicare Advantage plans.</p>
<p>Richard Foster, the actuary for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, also tells Senate Republicans that the overhaul will result in “less generous benefit packages” for Medicare Advantage plans next year. Foster is independent from the administration and non-partisan.</p></blockquote>
<p>Surprised?  Hell No. </p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t Nancy Pelosi tell us we had to pass the bill to find out what is in it?</p>
<p>Well what is in it is a pile of BS that stinks beyond high heaven.</p>
<p>This is what you get with Hope &amp; Change with no substance.</p>
