We are fast becoming “experts” in (political) apologetics … in an excellent and fair manner.

Keep it up, guys!!!!!

We need this kind of wisdom in the many battles ahead against the liberals.

She wrote a great column over at Andrew Breitbart’s Big Hollywood about her new hero, Joe Wilson:

…because just shouting out like that in that setting was not only indecorous but also impolitic. Now, Wilson’s given Obama, his mouthpiece Gibbs, Prancy Nancy Pelosi, Rabid Harry Reid and any and all other Dems who want to appear superior and “civil” an example to point to about how “uncivil” and “unhelpful” the Repubs are. Plus, they can use it as a distraction from what we all should really be keeping our focus on — which is what the Dems are SAYING versus what they’re DOING.

BUT, Wilson should have made it one of those “nonapology” apologies, you know, like DHS Secy Napolitano did when she called our vets and anyone else who disagrees with Obama “right-wing domestic terrorists” and then later said she was sorry if WE took it the wrong way. That’s not really an apology. An apology would have been: I did or said something stupid and I’m sorry I did that.

SO, Wilson should have simply issued a press statement saying he regrets his passion for the truth caused him to blurt out that the president was lying in that setting and at that time, and he’s sorry if the president was offended, and just let it go at that. No more apology, no more “explanation,” no more anything. End of story.

When they have nothing else to support their arguments, they resort to BushLied(tm)

I think this is going to cream Obama’s reelection more than anything else. He’s going to try to ride through his whole first term blaming Bush for everything.

Many things have happened during the last 6 years. We can’t change a single one of them. The issue of the day, now, is health care. We CAN change the direction that takes. Is this making any sense?

President Obama has told us time and time again that he’s a forward looking politician. Funny, then, that him and his supporters don’t look forward.

Be it health care or anything else? Auto insurance doesn’t apply, if you don’t have auto insurance you cannot use your privelege to drive, no issue. Forcing us to purchase health insurance because they said we had to? Farther down that slippery slope is forcing us to own a copy of “An Inconvienient Truth” or BO’s books.

Then of course there are the czars, that needs to be better defined, personally I think they are an obvious skirting of the spirit of the Constitution but the Const. doesn’t define who must be approved and who doesn’t, Legislators truly concerned with the Const. would be pushing legislation that would further define who and why, possibly based on monetary responsibility, percieved power etc.

Joe Wilson, by a single shout of “You Lie!”, has changed the debate. The debate now is about the lies Obama routinely tells. Now we must keep the ball rolling. We must challenge every lie of Obama’s.

Here’s a site that is compiling the lies:

http://obamalies.net/

Here’s an article that appeared in Forbes a while back about Obama’s top five lies about Obamacare:

http://www.forbes.com/2009/06/30/obama-health-care-reform-opinions-columnists-public-option-medicare.html?partner=popstories

A list of his top 100 lies, blunders and gaffes of his first 100 days as president:

http://www.humblelibertarian.com/2009/04/first-100-days-list-of-100-of-obamas.html

There are many others.

The bottom line is we must continue to point out to the American people, because the mainstream media will not tell them, that we have a president who lies, lies, lies as do all of the people who advise him. And as do all the Debtocrats.

Thank you.

Just pulled the trigger on a generous contribution to Joe’s next campaign.

I pledge to do likewise for any Republican OR DEMOCRAT who acts up in a similar manner to oppose Obama’s fascism!

Seriously…I was just looking at Rasmussen’s numbers. At least he didn’t link to the CNN poll that was weighted heavily to Dems.

We could use Rasmussen, aka the *accurate* pollster.

53% oppose it (41% strongly oppose).
44% support it. (27% strongly support)
3% don’t know.

And I don’t mean to say I don’t care about what independents think, I’m just saying it’s well past time to call it like it is, and quit playing by Hoyle’s rules while they play by Alinsky’s rules. Screw them.

If he had shouted it out at President George Bush when he was knowing lying the country into a war.

Right act, just six years too late.

We need to make sure Wilson has enough funds to get re-elected. I heard his dem opponent got over $100K in campaign donationst. This is the kind of conservative we need in congress. Not the spineless McCain, McConnell and Graham

I don’t live in his state, but had to say thanks to the man. Yes, it was a breach of protocol, but government health care is a hell of a lot more dangerous than an outspoken, truthful statement in Congress. I wish he hadn’t apologized though. The Dems who treated W. so poorly certainly didn’t. I am tired of having to play by the rules when the Dems use the rule book as toilet paper.

I understand that the worst thing any politician can do to another politician is to tell the truth about them…but:

No man should ever feel he should appologize for telling the truth.

Wilson said right thing not sure it was right time although

That said I heard Wilson’s congressional website crashed. The left was saying they were going to do that
