		<description>the vicious and vitrioloic attacks by Code Pink at Congressional Hearings.  Talk about planned disruptions of public functions.  How much money did we spend on extra security because of that bunch?  Those clowns even attacked Condollissa Rice physcially, and not a word was heard from the old-line MSM.  And Code Pink truly was an orchestrated attack machine of the Left.  Oh, and by the way, in the immortal words of Babs Boxer, &quot;they all dressed alike&quot;----- in pink!!!!!</description>

		<description>We all need to make sure we&#039;re armed with digital video cameras at these events to capture footage of the leftist Organizing for America/ACORN/SEIU/union/whatever paid thugs show up so we can document their antics, as we can be assured the mainstream media will not.  

Thank you.

		<description>have it all over the Birthers, by God. I mean, when you get the Speaker of the House, prominent senators, and the freakin&#039; President of the United States to subscribe to a whacked out conspiracy theory, that&#039;s something, man!</description>

		<description>Some figures in History have fallen because they came to believe in their own mythology.  The stories they crafted for consumption by the masses, stories exaggerated, twisted, or false, soon become in their own minds, perhaps simply because of repetition and ubiquity, true stories.

Napoleon and Hitler are two fine examples of this, along with their belief that some special force of destiny or at least &quot;historical inevitability&quot; was guiding them along toward success.  In America the saga of Nixon is instructive of this as well.

Gore and Kerry bit the dust because they really came to believe in the myth that they were promulgating, i.e. that W. Bush was a stupid warmongering cowboy.

The reality was quite different!  Recall Kerry&#039;s exasperated line: &quot;I can&#039;t believe I&#039;m losing to this idiot!&quot;  In his mythology, he should indeed have won!

We can only hope that a similar downfall awaits the smug and arrogant One and his personal and philosophical mythologies.</description>

		<description>The left has tried to put us into a corner, causing many to enter fight or flight mode.  They wagered on us fleeing, they wagered wrong.

After years of vitriolic attacks upon conservatives and Republicans, all in the name of patriotic dissent, they are now stunned that they are beginning to reap the fricken whirlwind.

Just one more bit of evidence pointing to their own stupidity.</description>
