“Failure is not an option”


So said Gene Kranz, NASA’s Mission Control lead flight director for Apollo 13. And so we are faced with a similar situation – a seemingly impossible task, but this time rather than saving the lives of astronauts, we are faced with stopping the drumbeat of socialism from the Left – our task is saving an entire country. The Democrats must not be allowed to succeed in passing healthcare rationing. For us, failure is not an option.  We cannot fail in stopping this disaster.

Earlier in the week, eburke posted a diary titled “We Will Never Surrender – We Will Never Yield”, after Winston Churchill’s famous inspirational speech. That excellent diary reminded me of this video, which I posted on his diary. I thought it worthy of a repeat.

Even if the Democrites manage to find a way to lie, cheat and bribe their way to passing this abomination, we will never surrender. It will be stopped. If not now, later.

Never surrender. We ARE as mad as hell, and we are not going to take it any more.

Government "help" *always* has strings attached

Color me unsurprised…and in fact somewhat amused…that a VP of a “housing counseling” group says that people have “a feeling of being duped” when “Signing up for the government’s mortgage assistance program comes with a nasty surprise for some homeowners: lower credit scores.” (bolding mine). This story is stunning in it sense of entitlement.

Obama’s mortgage aid can reduce credit score, not as severe as foreclosure

The loan modification program, appropriately, reports to credit agencies…who reduce scores as much as 100 points. “Housing counselors say it’s unfair, and often comes as a big surprise to homeowners.”

Wat….what? A surprise? You nearly default on your mortgage and you’re surprised that your credit score is affected??

I don’t completely defend credit score practices….but to think actions don’t have consequences is quite a……liberal way of thinking.

In the end, all we have on our side of the debate are facts and history.

 

I'm so psyched for 2010

Now I know how those players feel when they go to the Super Bowl.

The 2010 election is going to be a really, really big game. Everyone will remember this one. It’ll be in the history books. Freedom and Liberty are on the line, and I get the PRIVILEGE of defending it, and maybe assuaging a little of that guilt I feel when I read about the heroic sacrifices of our soldiers and their families.

I am so looking forward this “game.” We are going to kick their asses up and down the field, and then we’re going to rip out their heart and shove it in their face.

Thumbsuckers and whiners — you can watch from the safety of the cheap seats.

 

YES!!!!! I do not have time to deal with the "we are doomed " folks...

I am too busy fighting to get my country back! Whether it is this vote, or the next vote or the next election or the one after that! OK we fell asleep at the wheel but we are no longer asleep. The lives and the sacrifices of all the great individuals over the last 240 years made to make this country into the exceptional country that it is!!…and then just lay down now and hand it over to the biggest bunch of lying, corrupt, self-serving crap weasel collection of pond scum ever to gather in one spot…NO not gonna happen. And I have no time to read posts of people saying we are screwed, doomed or goodbye to our country because it is that attitude that got us into this fix in the first place. And if you feel that way you trully have lost touch with what it means to be an American.
