Congressman Dennis Moore Sells Out America

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Along with Pelosi and Ried, and too many democrats and here is how:

The below is from KRA Blog

“What a difference a year makes. A year ago, President Bush over-ruled his political and military advisers and ordered the military to implement a new Iraq war strategy dubbed “the surge.” Bush was nearly alone believing that the new strategy would work, but being the President, he was really the only one that counted. That’s important to consider heading into this year’s presidential election and not only demonstrates the importance/power of the office of Commander-in-Chief but also shows the leadership and character needed to make tough decisions and remain steadfast even when polls and political opposition are against you.

A year ago Democrats united in seeking withdrawal from Iraq as soon as possible—some insisted on it immediately. Congressional leaders Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid introduced multiple troop withdrawal plans but were frustrated in passing any of them. In April, encapsulating the Democrat defeatist mindset, Senate Leader Reid declared: “this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything.” In July, Representative Murtha discounted early surge progress stating: “I know this: that it’s not getting better. It’s over-optimistic. It’s an illusion.” Our own representative, Nancy Boyda, caused a stir walking out on retired Army General Keane stating “there was only so much that you could take.” His expert eyewitness testimony that with the surge U.S. forces “are on the offensive and we have the momentum” and that Baghdad “cafes, pool halls, coffee houses that I visited are full of people” didn’t meet her pre-conceived notions of the war. In September, Senator Clinton dismissed General Petraeus’ testimony stating that his Iraq progress report required “a willing suspension of disbelief” and that he had “been made the de facto spokesmen for what many of us believe to be a failed policy.” Senator Obama maintained he never supported the war and vowed to begin an immediate withdrawal if elected.”

Moore et al are not now and never have been part of the solution. They have lost their grasp on reality due to Bush Derangement Syndrome. They are weak and afraid. They covet power and want to surrender to world terror.

We don’t need them. They need to be voted out. George Bush … love him or hate him is a leader. They are self centered whimps. They enjoy the benefits of the country and their office and work to harm the country.

They are either ignorant or purposefully working to destroy the country.

Ma and I have 5 kids and 6 grandkids. You can bet I will work to make sure all of them who can vote … do so.

Most Hot Air comes from politicians

Via Orbusmax, King County Washington official Ron Sims has proposed first-in-the-nation legislation tying land development approvals to the global warming agenda:

King County Executive Ron Sims plans to introduce legislation that would allow the county to reject or modify development projects because of their effect on global warming.

If the proposal is passed by the Metropolitan King County Council, county land-use officials believe King County would be the first jurisdiction in the nation to take that step.

Sims, who has made climate change a top issue during his third term, said Wednesday he will introduce legislation in May that would consider greenhouse-gas emissions as part of the environmental-review process.

King County already requires developers to answer questions about their projects’ likely effects on climate, but approval of the projects doesn’t depend on those answers.

Who will profit? The carbon offset racket, of course!

Read the rest at Michelle Malkin … the goal of all this is to force a socialist (communist) agenda on us peasants.

I think it may be time for all of us peasants to unite and unseat the elite.

Impressive!

Code Pink Calls for Marines

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I am not surprised at all.

There is an old ditty that goes like this:

“Now all you civilians just heed these grim words,

They say we hunt headlines but that’s for the birds.

When there is trouble and they shake in their jeans,

The first ones they call are the US Marines.”

While we were at the protest in Berkeley from 12 to 4 p.m., a white Volvo drove by and a man spat upon CodePink,” Kelley wrote in an email to MAF’s Melanie Morgan. “They chased him down the street and got into a verbal altercation. The police were NOWHERE in sight. 

“That’s not the best part, ready for this?

“Medea Benjamin yelled and I quote “Marines!” She actually yelled for our help because this man had stepped out of his car. I even asked her if she was yelling Police and she told me, “I said Marines” then put her arm around my friend Allen (the Marine Vet). Ironic?”

“Benjamin has drawn conservative criticism for her support of Hugo Chavez and her attacks on the U.S. embargo of Fidel Castro’s Cuba. Conservative writer David Horowitz’s FrontPageMag has attacked her as “a long-time Castro acolyte.” “(Wikipedia, the free encylopedia).

Now the record shows that in spite of the slogans and chants delivered in high-pitched screams, when Medea Benjamin wants to put the enemy on the run, she yells for the same relief called upon by the citizens of many trouble spots in the world: America’s brave Marines. 

Yesterday in front of Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, Calif., Medea Benjamin gave new meaning to the old adage: Ah, the things you see when you don’t have your camera.”

Yawn.

Jujubeans and Skateboard brother huddle over some homework. It’s a good night. We get to have them visit with us and their Mom and Dad get to go out and resume their dance lessons. I wonder if it is Samba or Tango tonight.

Recreate ‘68

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

A coalition of anti-war groups is vowing to protest this summer’s Democratic National Convention in Denver under the rubric “Re-create ’68,” prompting criticism from some on the left who are loath to revisit what they see as a disastrous time for both the anti-war movement and the Democratic Party.

Capping a year that saw the assassinations of both the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, the 1968 Democratic National Convention erupted in violence as thousands of Chicago police officers, supported by U.S. Army troops and National Guardsmen, battled in the streets with activists protesting the Vietnam War. Inside the convention hall, the Democrats chose as their presidential nominee Hubert Humphrey, who went on to lose the general election to Richard Nixon.”

For those of us who remember it the democrat convention in Chicago was a total mess. Hippies, Black Panthers … every form of Wacko showed up, especially Communists. The democrat party once again was run by children and it imploded.

I kinda hope they do recreate it. Already there are large numbers of good Americans who oppose the Moonbats and will react. It will unite those who vote against democrats to get out and vote.

In those days the wackos were financed by commie money laundered through Castro (and Che’s) Cuba.  Today it is George Soros … a modern day anti American commie.

Taxes

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Dear Internal Revenue Service:

Enclosed you will find my 2007 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes.

Please note the attached article from the USA Today newspaper; dated 12 November, wherein you will see the Pentagon (Department of Defense) is paying $171.50 per hammer and NASA has paid $600.00 per toilet seat.

I am enclosing four (4) toilet seats (valued @ $2,400) and six (6) hammers valued @ $1,029), which I secured at Home Depot, bringing my total remittance to $3,429.00.

Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to the “Presidential Election Fund,” as noted on my return.

You can do this inexpensively by sending them one (1) 1.5″ Phillips Head screw (see aforementioned article from USA Today newspaper detailing how H.U.D. pays $22.00 each for 1.5″ Phillips Head Screws).

One screw is enclosed for your convenience.

It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year.

Sincerely,

A Satisfied Taxpayer
