As You Wake Up This Morning


Consider these points:

(1) Just a few short weeks ago, Democrats were complaining that Republicans would rather talk about the Ground Zero Mosque than jobs. It’s gotten so bad for Democrats, they’d now rather talk about John Boehner’s tan than jobs.

(2) Speaking of John Boehner, make no mistake that George Stephanapoulous remains a partisan hack. We know from the Politico that he has regular phone calls with Rahm Emanuel. So it comes as no surprise that he started questioning John Boehner about Boehner’s tan right about the time Democratic polling firm PPP makes a big stink about polling on Boehner’s tan and Obama mocks Boehner’s tan too.

(3) All the people rushing to embrace the Ground Zero Mosque because of the Imam’s constitutional right sure are running just as quickly to shut down the moron pastor in Florida intent on burning korans. What’s good for the goose . . .

(4) Democrats’ latest talking point is that they have more money in the bank that Republicans. It’s true. But it was also true when Bob McDonnell beat the Dems in Virginia. It was also true when Chris Christie beat the Dems in New Jersey. It was also true when Scott Brown beat the Dems in Massachusetts.

"I have a dream

davesinsanantonio (Diary) Thursday, September 9th at 6:42AM EST (link)

that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Obviously, the Dems don’t have the same dream!

Welcome to Obama's AmeriKa

greyhawk Friday, September 10th at 7:48AM EST (link)

This morning on Red State, they were talking about how the Radical Muslims through Violence and Threats of Violence have Cowed Us Down Once Again. This is the same thing they have done in France, Denmark, Germany, England and other European nations, and now they are bringing Their Radical Threats of Violence and Acts of Violence To America. The following are my comments to this: Thanks–Jerome

“So folks, welcome to the Kinder, Gentler America since we elected a president who is revered by Radical Muslims the world over, revered by Communist Dicatators the world over, revered by the Russians because he took down the nuclear shield that was in place in Eastern Europe as a reminder to the Empire Building Russians that they better not dare invade their neighbors.

Now, we are going to go the way of France and England and other European Nations where they have allowed Muslims and Their Sharia Laws to supplant their civil laws. Where Rule is By Violence or Threats of Violence.
Is it not pathetic that if you threaten to punch your next door neighbor in the nose that your neighbor can go and file a charge against you and you will be arrested for making terroristic threats, but if you are a Terrorist Religious Cult, you can Threaten To Murder American Citizens, and our government Does Absolutely Nothing, and in fact appeases the Radical Muslims.

The Muslims have basically laid down the gauntlet that says: “If any American or Anybody Else dare Offend Us, We Will Terrorize You.” And, what is really sickening about this is the fact that our own government and mainstream media is on the side of the Radical Muslims, and will use all the power of the U.S. Govenrnment and All the Power Of The Mainstream Media to Squash Anybody or Any Group that dares challenge them.

Welcome Folks to the New United Fascist States Of America. Fascism defined means “No opposition allowed.” This, my friends, is what our government has just told us. Also, look at what they are doing to Arizona and other States Who Dare Defend the Legitimate Laws of the Land.

Better wake up folks and rally Conservative Voters on November 2, 2010. At the rate the Obama-Pelosi Regime Dictatorship is moving, there may never be any elections ever again. If they will not tolerate basic First Amendment Rights of Speech and Expression, how long do you think they will tolertate the rest of the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution, which one of the Communists in the Congress, Al Cee Hastings recently said when he was asked about the constitutionality of the Socialized Medicine Bill which they call Obama Care, Hastings replied: “What, the Constitution?? WE, The U.S. Congress do not care anything about the Constituton.” Al Cee Hastings was speaking for All of Congress and the President of the USA.

If you care about your freedoms and you do care about the Constitution, you need to get Out The Vote and Take America Back, and Totally Ignore the Mainstream Media, because they have just shown us how far they will go to Aid and Abet Our Enemies while Squashing A U.S. Citizen who dares express his Displeasure with Islam and With This Government and the Obama Regime. That little preacher in Florida had 50 members. Who would have ever heard of this guy had it not Been for The Mainstream Media and Our own Government Who Made it An International Event. Whose Side Is Our Government On?? Whose Side is our Mainstream Media on??? If you have been paying any attention at all at what is going on in America, you already know the answer to this question. Thanks—Jerome Ennis

The Thing I Like Least About Obama

Spartan4Life (Diary) Thursday, September 9th at 6:47AM EST (link)

There are many to choose from.

But it is his petty partisanship that consistently irks me. It is so demeaning to the presidency. It really feeds into the whole diminishing United States objective that he seems so married to. We need a leader who can bring us together not try to deepen divides.

Maybe we should have 18 holes of match play Boehner vs. Obama for the direction of the country. I’ve seen Obama’s swing and I like our chances.

 

burning?

lesterpeoples Thursday, September 9th at 6:47AM EST (link)

Who started this burning thing anyway? Seems the American flag was the first I ever saw on news clips and now books are off limits? why? I would think a book would burn cleaner than a smoldering flag and make less smoke for the environments sake. I wouldnt breathe the fumes from a Qu’ran tho, it may be toxic coming from its source.

 

It's simple

NickDeringer (Diary) Thursday, September 9th at 6:49AM EST (link)

1. If there are 2 parties in a controversy, the MSM will always side with the one that is most anti-American.

2. The MSM will flog any story that makes Christians look bad. Westboro Baptist, the Cult of Koran Burning, etc. Muslims can behead gay people all day and not a peep out of the MSM, but those Right Wing Christians need to be on a terror watch list.

3. The MSM needed something to divert attention from the Discovery Channel Bomber so they hop on this wacko pastor and his 50 disciples to change the national conversation.

Remember, my little lambs, news is just warfare by other means.

Great points

fpete13527 (Diary) Thursday, September 9th at 7:04AM EST (link)

Obama finally doesn’t even have anything left in his speeches…..although he will still talk for days. He had to pay college kids to go to his last speech.

He said in his last speech that the economy is bad still because of “them” meaning still because of Bush and Republicans. Everyone now knows though that “them” is not Bush and Republicans but them is him and the Dems. Good article here on this http://bit.ly/9DbjhA.

I also noticed this morning that another round of Obama/Biden/HopeChange stickers were being scraped off of cars even if it ruined the their paint….which it did.

New campaign donation trend?

dajeeps (Diary) Thursday, September 9th at 7:33AM EST (link)

The Dims might have more money than Republicans do, on paper. But if one considers the various independent conservative PACs, conservatives themselves and individual candidates themselves have far more. I know many conservatives who donated to PACs and individual candidates directly this year rather than to the RNC because they did not trust the RNC leadership to to make, in their view, the best choices on where to spend it. We don’t want anymore RINOs running the show. Starving the RNC of money and giving to Tea Party PACs instead seemed to be the better way to get there.

RNC has turned into a joke and

ihateliberals Thursday, September 9th at 11:02AM EST (link)

as long as Micheal Steele is the president of it I will only give directly to my candidates. Steele only has eyes for RINO candidates and for spending my hard earned money on stupid things. Steele hasn’t gotten the message that we want Conservative Candidates. By giving money directly to the candidates war chest I can choose to help candidates anywhere in the country and focus the money where needed.

It’s too bad we can’t get Steele out of office before December. If the RNC understood the message from the populous and support truly conservative candidates I would consider giving money to them as well.

People Who Know the Issues and the Candidates

Locke (Diary) Thursday, September 9th at 11:50AM EST (link)

probably would or should give directly to candidates even if the RNC were run by someone much better.

It is usually easier to figure out what is the right thing to do than who you can trust to do the right thing for you.

 
 
 

Bookburning

phatphan Thursday, September 9th at 7:34AM EST (link)

EagleWatcher has a good point. The MSM has a nose for the slightest hing of a story that putx Christians in a bad light. These people should realize that they will be doing mor harm than good.
I respect their desire to render the Quran ineffective, but burning books publicly is not the way to do it. There is only one effective way to counteract ANY false doctrine – that is to present people with the TRHTH.
The Bible, which is the Word of God in its entirety, is the antidote. It changes hearts and lives of those who believe it and live it. Those churh members would have much greater effect by getting off their comfortable pews and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with the Muslims within their circle of influence.When conversion takes place, former Muslims either dicard or burn their own Qurans. Furthermore, these good people will gain the assurance and confidence that they have followed the Great Commission.

You're right but consider this

bwakefield Thursday, September 9th at 11:53AM EST (link)

No question we would like to have “reasonable” people look at the Bible in contrast to the Quran and come to a reasonable conclusion concerning both.

However, I think we should all consider this: If by chance an islamic group decided to burn a Bible would there be such an out cry of protest? I don’t think so. The Bible in and of itself is only a book, it is not a deity of Christian religion to be defended to the death. Christians would rightly be upset at the act, but no to the point that it is an act of treason against the Christian faith.
On the other hand I believe the the Good Reverend and his followers, by the act of burning a Quran are demonstrating to the world how shallow and loathsome islam really is. Can the burning of a Quran really shake the hall of a meaningful belief structure?
To a Bible burning, Christian would say “Oh well”
To a Quran burning Islam says “death to the infidels”
Which is a meaningful religion?

 
 

Start the campaign Erick

gwalt Thursday, September 9th at 7:41AM EST (link)

Erick,
Start a fund ( or have Moe do it) and we will contribute to a billboard campaign with Stephanoupolos’ face on it and Biased DNC Liberal Hack under it. They air outrageous things and we do nothing.

Day after day they do this unchallenged. We get enraged. They do it again. We read about it. Rinse and repeat. Huh?

When are we going to embarrass them, challenge them? Fox News is not enough. We need ordinary non-political people eating their Egg McMuffin (before Michelle takes it away from them) seeing MSM faces on the roadways with You Lie captioned underneath.

They are going to be out with LONGER knives than they already have for your chosen candidates Erick. There will be lies and innuendos and rumors broadcast as truth.

Let’s kneecap them now!

I hope all Republican union members realize that their vote is cancelled.

Furthermore, I never knew a Dem who could spend one dollar when two would do.

 

More on the Dems' money advantage

Coop Thursday, September 9th at 9:13AM EST (link)

From Karl Rove’s article in the WSJ:

…[o]n the money front—and despite the Republican National Committee’s considerable fund-raising and spending difficulties—the Republican Governors Association has almost twice as much cash as the Democratic Governors Association. In addition, the GOP’s Senate campaign committee has achieved parity with its Democratic counterpart and, as Josh Kraushaar pointed out in a perceptive piece in Politico, the GOP’s Congressional Campaign Committee has outraised its Democratic competitor over the last four months and is spending more wisely. This led Speaker Nancy Pelosi to write Democratic congressmen who hadn’t contributed to their party’s election fund, telling them to call her within 72 hours to discuss their plans to give . . . or else…

A Lot of Dem Attacks This Cycle Have Been Like The Boehner Tan Thing

IJB Thursday, September 9th at 2:30PM EST (link)

They’ve attacked Sean Duffy for his “Real World” stint. They attacked someone else (can’t remember who at the moment) over something as equally trivial and irrelevant.

It actually says something about his bad this election is for Dems that they are flailing about with this completely silly, irrelevant stuff – not only does it point up that the Dems have nothing to run on, it’s also ticking off Indies (and others) who want ‘issue’ answers from the Dems and instead are only getting these kinds of ‘fluff’ attacks on Republicans.

If the Dems keep these kinds of lines up, they’re going to go down even worse than they would have without them…

Boehner the New Newt

chihank Thursday, September 9th at 4:53PM EST (link)

Obama is going after Boehner, because Boehner will be the most powerful GOPer in 2011 should we retake the House. Retaking the Senate will be tough. Boehner’s leadership will give the public a chance to look at GOP Leadership. If the GOP House does well, then our chances of beating Obama in 2012 improve. If Boehner’s leadership is bad, the public won’t trust the GOP in a long time. The govt showdown fight between Newt vs Clinton is the reason why Clinton won in 1996. Obama is savoring public fights between him and the GOP House.
