To my Conservative Friends:

The much anticipated return of 24 starring Kiefer Sutherland had its 2-night, 4 hour premiere this week and for our bed-wetting, terrorist-coddling friends on the left side of the buffet table, it could not come at a worse time as the Messiah’s coronation as Prophet-in-Chief is all but hours away as the looney bleeding-hearts count down every second with unrivaled anticipation…

Barry and the Appeasers in DC are set to turn back the clock on fighting terrorism to September 10, 2001 as he has plans to all but gut our Anti-Terrorism efforts President Bush and his administration have tirelessly worked 7 years to create. Last week, he said he plans on keeping his campaign promise to close Gitmo. Don’t worry though, keep an eye out for the most dangerous, hate-filled terrorists coming soon to a prison near you…

Also, as I wrote in my article last week, he has appointed a spineless, American-blaming surrender-monkey as head of the CIA and all his politically-correct, ACLU-revering partners in Congress are planning on tearing the Patriot Act a new A–Hole the second they get their grimy fingers on the keys to the White House….

So now that Barry has made you feel all warm and fuzzy about our safety from the bad guys, here comes Jack Bauer and the premiere of 24….. The new season appears to be promising and the premiere gave us a lot of highlights and a few minor gripes…..

Jack is back and not only is he kickin’ ass and takin’ names, he’s got a lady FBI sidekick who not only shares his passion for deep-cavity searches of terrorists, but she is real easy on the eyes (she reminds me of my wife)…. Agent Renee Walker (aka. Actress Annie Wersching) demonstrated in the 4-hour premiere of Season 7 that the ladies aren’t takin any shi- from the bad guys either… And if they have some info she needs, let’s just say she’s gonna do more than blow sweet nothings in their ears to extract the info – The hard way!!

In one scene where a terror suspect was in critical condition on his hospital bed, Agent Walker grabbed the breathing tube of the prick and cut off the guy’s air supply to get him to fess up… Man, if she tells her husband to take out the trash, my advice to him would be to – Get on it Man, forthwith!!

My only gripe would be Walker’s assistant is the communist hand-wringing, ACLU-loving Janeane Garafolo from bankrupt liberal talk-radio station Air-America. And the character Garafolo plays appears to be similar to her socialist self in a lot of ways… Well, hopefully, she’ll turn out to be the mole inside the FBI and Jack can torture her to admit that Barry wears pink underwear!!

The President, Allison Taylor, in the new season is also a female, however she is shaping up to be more like a Sarah Palin, take-no prisoners type than the spineless lib President Logan in prior seasons… The basic premise of the season is the President’s decision to either negotiate with the terrorists and call back the troops ready to invade their country or not negotiate with them and allow them to use a stolen CIP system firewall unit that controls the Nation’s major operating systems (i.e. water supply, air-traffic, etc…) A classic no-win 24 Dilemma…

The President’s John Kerry/French looking Husband Henry appears to have a large role in the new season. Henry seems obsessed with investigating his son’s suicide/murder and all of it appears connected to the plot line of the invasion of Sengala (a fictitious Nation in Africa). Couldn’t have Pakistan or some Middle-Eastern Country – That would offend the Muslims… Can’t have that… But the Africans – Ahhhh they won’t mind… Gripe #2…

To the liberals delight, CTU has been disbanded and is under investigation. The best scene in the whole premiere was 10 minutes in with Jack testifying in front of some liberal, out-of-touch defeatocrat Senator when he told him what a bed-wetting softie he was and he did not regret any of the techniques he has used to protect this country… Classic Jack to the liberals dismay…. The Senator was played by That 70′s Show Star Kurtwood Smith (who plays the Father, Red) who mysteriously bears a striking resemblance to a Senator we may know.

The Premiere also had the return of Tony Almeida (from the dead…) and Bill Buchanan and Chloe from CTU which will will give the season some sort of continuity as they run a rogue CTU operation out of what appears to be a church attic somewhere in Washington…

The interrogation scene with Jack trying to get info from a terrorist where Walker tells Jack to do “Whatever it takes” to get the info was real powerful as the ever-resourceful Jack grabs a Bic-pen and almost sticks it in the guy’s eye before he agrees to spill the beans… The terrorist had worked with Jack in the past so he knew not to screw around and just cop his plea… Jack has become like the 1980′s version of Mike Tyson where his mere appearance in the room makes his opponents throw in the white towel before he has to lay a glove on them…. Man, Jack is the man!!!

The premiere goes on to get more complicated as more story lines are thrown in to set up the season and develop the characters and plot-lines for the next 20 hours. For instance Jack and Tony are now undercover and embedded with the terror group as they passed themselves off as disgruntled American Operatives out to settle a score with the country for doing them wrong… And there was no mention of Jack’s old flame Audry, which I am sure will change as either she or Jack’s daughter will come into play sometime this season…

Overall, I would say the premiere was excellent but not great. I give it 4 stars (out of 5)…I am sure the rest of the season will, at times, reach the highest bar in my ratings meter.

My predictions are we have not seen the last of what I hope to be many interrogation scenes and terrorist whacking moments that should make our sanctimonious, criminal-pampering tree-huggers in the country wringing their hands and thanking their secular superiors that Barry, and not Jack, is running the show now…. To bad we could not have had another option this past November…

May God help us….

To my Conservative Friends:

I have been receiving emails and phone calls over the past week from my Conservative and liberal friends alike saying to me – “Mike – You gotta see Gran Torino!!”

So, in the middle of the snow storm on Saturday night, I trekked out to see the film I had heard so much about…

The film is about a man named Walt Kowalski, a 70-something, cranky Korean War Vet who lives in a mid-west neighborhood that has been steadily changing to a Black/Asian community. Walt, living alone now after his wife’s death, is one of the last “white guys” in the community and is an extremely old-school guy with a very, very non-Politically-Correct attitude and he doesn’t give a shi- who knows about it.. In fact, I don’t think Walt ever heard of the term “politically correct”.

Those of you who regularly read my articles know that I usually find movies on TV and Hollywood are inappropriate and support the liberal agenda in every way shape or form. And I usually don’t like any movies I see because I can’t stand the inevitable, inherent liberal slant..

I would have to say that Gran Torino is nothing like I have ever seen before from Hollywood…

Simply said, it was one of the best movies I have ever seen, period!!

Never have I been so entertained by a drama from a Hollywood film. It had just the right mix of humor, emotion and action. I was never bored and when the movie ended, people did not want to leave. They just hung around the theatre talking amongst each other about the film!!! And I live in NY – People here can’t stand each other and usually want nothing to do with each other….. But Gran Torino stirred such emotion, such debate that people needed to speak about it…

Let’s take a look at the trailer for the film:

The trailer shows some of the movies most publicized and intense scenes that are full of action and suspense. However, these are clearly not the best scenes in the movie. The best scenes and lines in the movie are Eastwood’s interaction with his neighbors, friends and family. From his snot-nosed dis-respectful grandchildren to his clueless kids who treat him like an idiot when it is they who are the idiots.

Every scene is great and has you glued to the screen as you hope the movie never ends.. Every line Eastwood delivers is chock-full of wit, sarcasm and occasionally, you see Walt’s soft side coming through his steely demeanor… I found myself, as well as others in the theatre, laughing out loud with Walt as he verbally decimates everyone he talks with… As we all know, men love to quote movie lines… It drives our wives and girlfriends nuts… But there are so many great lines Clint has in this movie that will add to his legendary quotes like “Go ahead, make my day” and “Do you feel lucky punk?”

Usually when you see a movie, you forget that you saw it within a few hours. Gran Torino is a movie that I am still thinking about for 2 days now… I can’t get the plot and the characters out of my head. This film should be considered for Best Picture, Director and Best Actor. However, I am sure it won’t be because Eastwood, a Republican, is not your typical Hollyweird liberal and the movie portrays a Conservative as the hero and Hollywood abhors anything that makes Conservatives look positive….

My liberal friends wanted me to see it because, as typical libs, they see this film as a Conservative guy who is racist, homophobic, insensitive and should be ostracized from the community… They think it shows liberalism in a good light… I think the opposite. I think it shows that we need strong leaders who take charge and are not afraid to “offend anyone” and its shows liberalism as a failed social experiment that should be abandoned once and for all…

My Conservative friends and I see this film as a refreshing, liberating breath of fresh air that reflects the PC world in which we live today as so far off the rails that we have to slap these people into reality and this film is a great symbol of that sentiment.

I believe Gran Torino shows us that just because we all have tendencies not to trust or dislike a particular ethnic group, be them Black, Hispanic, Asian, Jew or whatever, it does not make someone racist. Funny, in this country, you can have convicted felons, drug-addicts and the like garner more sympathy and given chance after chance, but once someone makes a racial slur and is branded a racist, they are ostracized and treated like a lepers…. Everyone kill the raaaacist!! Heaven’s nooooo!! He offended me me with a slur!!!! Lock him up!!!

Please…. give me a break!!!!!

Maybe this film will not change any minds or move public perception that we have to cut this PC crap out, but at least its the first film in a long while a Conservative can enjoy and not have to maul the screen with their Milk-Duds….

So, in summary, put Gran Torino on your must-see list. You will be entertained, you will laugh and you may cry… It will probably be Eastwood’s final film in a glorious career that should end with his first Academy Award in, what is arguably, his best performance ever…

Just my thoughts…

To my Conservative Friends:

Opening January 20th at a theatre near you…. Barry and the Appeasers

Well, he did not even make it to inauguration day and Barry has already set himself up for failure and the country for attack… Leon Panetta as CIA Chief is possibly the worst selection to head one of the most important positions in our government in the midst of the war on terror…

He has selected an anti-surveillance, anti-interrogation, terrorist-appeasing bleeding-heart that he dragged out of the attic of old Clinton hand-me-downs… Pathetic!!!

If he thinks that this makes the country safer, then I am truly worried about the state of this country’s defense against terrorism in 2 weeks.. What do you think the terrorists at Al-Qaeda are saying today around their daily “Death to America Luncheons”… Do you think they are saying “Oh my, America is really serious about defeating us”????

Noooo, They are saying, “We knew it, this guy is soft and his appointments and positions will make it easier for us to operate, communicate, recruit and fund our operations against the infidels!!!!”

That’s what they are saying… And if you think they are not, I have some trees in Central Park that need a good huggin’…..

Colonel David Hunt, who is one of the most respected Military experts on terrorism there is, said of the Panetta selection, “What he did (Obama) was just drive a stake through the heart of the CIA”… This is not some Republican politician, talking head or me saying this. This is an expert who has worked and followed every minute of the war on terror from the beginning…

For all the nasty, dis-respectful, hateful things that have been said and written of our President, the man has been steadfast and unwavering on the war on terror for the sole purpose of keeping us safe and free of attacks… Which is something he has done successfully for over 7 years now…

I believe Barry, in one fell-swoop has begun the process of undoing all the tireless work and effort that the President, the CIA, FBI and all other law enforcement personnel have done to keep this country the safest it has ever been…

I have said repeatedly on this site that President Bush has received little, if any credit for keeping this country safe and free of terror attacks… Well, I think once Barry and the Appeasers come to town and we drop our drawers for the terrorists to come and re-start the jihad against us infidels, we will long for President Bush and the way we used to fight the bad guys…

Just my thoughts….

To my Conservative Friends:

As we get the barf-bags ready for Barry’s inauguration and the fawning of the MSM towards him, I have been thinking of the best way for the Republicans to come back strong in the next election cycle. We need young, new voices that are true Conservatives and not afraid to articulate their views…

I know everyone is tauting all the usual names to lead the Republicans back from the brink and start on the road to winning back a majority of the voting country… I believe a majority of the country is conservative… How they vote is another story. As we have seen by the ass-whuppins we have received in 2006 and this past November…

So as we approach the coronation of Barry the Chosen One, I thought it high time I reveal who I think will stand up and grab the Conservative flag for us and lead the party back to the dominance we enjoyed just a few short years ago before our party leaders checked their brass-ones at the Capital door…

I like some of the names we are hearing like Governors Palin, Jindal & Sanford, but I would like to give you a list of lesser-known prospects.

Additionally, supporters of Governors Romney and Huckabee are hoping for their guys to come back and contend, however I think re-tread candidates are not our answer…….

Well, let me just say a few words about some people I considered for the list but did not make my Top 5:

* Sarah Palin - I love Sarah Palin… Absolutely think she is capable of running her state and would have no problem with her running the country. I would vote for her in a NY minute because she is a rock-solid conservative and she is a genuine Star, has a proven track record of getting things done and is a great speaker with the looks of a winner…

However, I believe that app. 55-60% of the country is a bunch of dim-bulbs that have been working with glue too much… The caricature of Sarah has been so tremendous that the perception of her is of someone who is not particulary bright and not capable of running the country… Do I believe that – ABSOLUTELY not!!! But perception in politics is awfully hard to change – Just ask Dan Quayle…

Do I think she could turn it around and become the next leader of our party and win the White House against Barry in 2012? Yes, but I wouldn’t be on it… If I am wrong, I’ll admit it and be one of the happiest conservatives who will work for her campaign…

* Newt Gingrich - I also hear a lot of people mention Newt as a potential Presidential candidate in 2012.. Although I love Newt and think he is probably one of the most intelligent, articulate Conservative voices we have, I think his perception nationally is too tainted for himself to be the candidate of 2012. I see Newt as being the party elder-statesmen and be a Cheney-like VP choice for one of the younger stars mentioned below…

* Governor Marc Sanford (GA) – Is a nice looking candidate but I don’t believe he has the energy or the personality to resonate as a National Political force…

* Governor Bobby Jindal (LA) is another story – This guy is young (37) articulate, conservative and is the true American Dream… This guy can debate with anyone, can handle a crisis and is an all-around good family man…

Do I think this guy will be in the fore-front of the Party in the near future – You Betcha – But Jindal is such a trendy pick, I would like to give you a few names you may not know off the top of your head:

So, here are my TOP 5 picks to lead the new Republican party (A Conservative Party) back to prominence:

No. 5 – Rep. Paul Ryan (WI) – A young, articulate solid conservative in a good swing state. Ryan is recognized by house leadership as a potential to be minority leader soon. He is an up and comer and could develop into a Star in the new Congress… Keep an eye on him.

No. 4 – Rep. Eric Cantor (OH) – His name was bandied about some as a potential VP for McCain, but this guy is the real deal and could become a National Republican voice as the loyal opposition in the minority. He is well-spoken, conservative and comes from the most volatile of swing states – Ohio….

No. 3 Rep. Mike Pence (IN) – Pence has been in the House leadership now for 4 years and is a solid conservative who opposed the bailout (Yeaaaahh!!). He is a good-looking fifty something from a Red swing state that voted for Barry… A solid choice as a potential leader of the future…

No. 2 – GOPAC Chairman Michael Steele – Michael has been talked up a lot as a possible candidate to lead the RNC. He is a frequent talking head on Fox News and is an articulate, conservative black voice that is sorely needed in the party…

He is an excellent debater as he constantly undresses Alan Colmes on H&C. Steele would be one of my faves to lead the party in the next cycle…

No. 1 – Senator John Thune (SD) – Thune came out of nowhere when he narrowly lost his Senate election to Tim Johnson in 2002 to National Republican/Conservative hero when he unseated long-time Senate Minority leader Tom Dashle in 2004. His movie-star good looks and his fabulous oratory skills make him a no-brainer to lead the party for the next election cycle.

Thune is young (47) and is my TOP choice to be the next leader of the Republican party to lead us back from the abyss…

Just my thoughts….

GOP Mike

To my Conservative Friends:

I always like to take a breath during a holiday to step away from the banter and passionate debate about our politics and our history to recognize a very special group of Americans, our troops…

We argue loud and strong everyday about our beliefs and we should realize that our ability to express our beliefs so freely is equally, if not more, important than the actual beliefs themselves… And the troops protect that cherished freedom that a lot of Americans take for granted.

Let’s look at some my favorite tributes and moments for our troops:

If you missed this story recently about a soldier coming home to surprise his 6-year-old son, it is one of the most moving tributes to Fathers and the extent of the sacrifice their families go through while they are away serving this great country. This one had my whole family heading for the Kleenex:

If you don’t get choked up at that, I don’t know what would do it….

And just so I don’t get emails from the ladies, here is a special Father/Daughter reunion that actually had me choked up:

And what tribute to the troops would be complete without a Lee Greenwood – God Bless the USA song… This one is one of the best I have seen that really displays the compassion and emotions of the great men and women of our armed forces:

We all will be taking a well deserved break tomorrow to celebrate the birth of Jesus… Let’s not forget that his sacrifice, like the troops’, is never to be forgotten and always to be cherished…

The troops love this country in a way that many us us could not possibly know. To lay your whole life on the line for the country you love is beyond courageous. It is an act worthy of honor and immense respect.

I, for one, would like to recognize that and say to all of them and their families:

Thank you, God bless you and Merry Christmas…

To my Conservative Friends:

I am sure you are getting ready to take a little respite from work to relax over the Christmas holiday and gather with family and friends over the non-vegetarian Christmas Ham or Bird. During the break, you will most likely be hammered with all the liberal idiot relatives you haven’t seen for a while…

You will invariably have to deal with your feminist sister-in-law that has not voted the right way since the butterfly ballot, and your hippy nephew whose is home from liberal U. for the Christmas break and thinks, after a semester of looney indoctrination by the nations finest profes-nazi’s, is ready to be the next Karl Marx…

And then there will be those relatives who I really have issues with… Those who claim to be “independent”, “moderate” (man, I hate that term) and open minded – How thoughtful they are!!!… As I have said in a past article (Moderate Voters – Mushy Wimps)about these num-skulls, these people are not really moderates. In my humble opinion, no such anomaly exist… These people are the ones just shielding their true identities so they are not called ideologues or, heavens no, extremists!!! Oooooh, that one sounds scaaaarry….

So, to pass the time over the invariably boring stories on how little Suzie is doing soooo well in her new school and how the teachers think she is so gifted, Yawn, I have developed a few questions that you can casually drop over the course of Christmas that will reveal the true colors of the so-called Independent In-laws…

If nothing else, it will give you something to pass the time beyond listening to Uncle Joe snore in the lazy-boy while watching the Use-log!!!

So, without further ado, here is the test:

GOP Mike’s Liberal Litmus Test (1 pt for each Yes):

1. Did you receive any of the following CD’s for Christmas: Barbara Streisand, Dixie Chicks or Madonna? – Count one for each CD received and count 1/2 pt. for each CD owned…

2. Did you go to see the movie “W” in the movie theater or rent the DVD?? – Count 2 pts if they saw it in the theater and 1 if they rented it…

3. Did you employ any “Green” methods for reducing your carbon foot-print this year??

4. Do you get the NY Times delivered to your home??

5. What Network did you watch on election night?? – Count one point for CBS, ABC, CNN – Count 2 Pts for NBC and a whopping 3 pts for MSNBC… If they watch FoxNews – You can subtract 1 pt.

6. Do they have any special plans for watching the chosen one’s inauguration?? – Count one if they say yes and 2 pts if they plan on having more then 3 people over to watch the “historic event”…

7. Do you have any anti-Bush bumper stickers on your car or ones begging for “peace” or ones that say “Mean People Suck!”

8. Do they plan on seeing any Broadway shows during the Holidays??? – Count 1 pt for a yes and 2 pts if its a musical…

9. Did you send out Christmas cards that say either “Happy Holidays” or “Seasons Greetings” instead of Merry Christmas???

10. Will you be abstaining from joining us in feasting on the Christmas Bird because you do not eat anything that could have had a name???

There you have it, 10 subtle questions you can pepper in throughout your Christmas celebration to gauge the level of liberal loony-ism of your relatives…

So, once you have your answers to the above questions, you tally up their score and they will fall in 1 of 4 categories:

1-4 Pts – A mild case of the Fl-iberal – This person has some flaws in their make-up that are most likely caused by the typical apathy towards the process and has lets some thing slip through the cracks without even knowing it…

My advise: This person is easily converted to the home team with just a good talking to about the issues. A strong, well spoken conservative can convert this lost soul before the last gift is un-wrapped…

5-9 pts – A Solid, but persuadable lib – This person most likely doesn’t know how liberal they have become… They start out watching the View and MSNBC and BAM!!! Full-blown case of the libs has spread through their body like a virus….

My advice: This person can be persuaded by you must use extensive counseling and/or electro-shock therapy to zap them back to reality…. And a liberal block on their TV that only shows FOXNews and NASCAR wouldn’t hurt…

10-13 pts. On the Edge - Severely delusional state of uneducated, mis-informed liberal on the loose here. They must be reigned in fast before it is too late. The commitment papers are being drawn up and the fat lady is warming up…

My advise – If you really think this person is worth it, you must engage fully and quickly… But use caution – Rubber gloves and a Haz-Mat suit are recommended….

14-18 pts (Max) – GONZO - You relative is a flaming, pinko commie, latte sipping, kool-aid drinking bleeding heart that should be preped for a white coat (also great for waving the flag of surrender)…

My advise – Take a step back, nothing to see here… I am sorry, we lost them – Flat-lined___________________

Well, there it is… Your fool-proof guide to determine the extent of your relatives’ liberal derangement syndrome complete with tactics to handle the clean-up from the eventual fall-out from the nuclear winter…. And one day, perhaps we can….

To all of you and yours, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a conservative site….

To my Conservative Friends:

I have to hand it to our Commander-in-Chief, he is one amazing person. I don’t know about the rest of you, but there is no way in hell, I would be able to show the restraint and dignity this President has shown after being totally dis-respected the way he has been for the past 8 years.

This past weekend, I am sure everyone has heard of the show-throwing incident in President Bush’s final visit to the country he liberated from a tyrannical dictator some 5 years ago. And if you didn’t see it, I’m sure you heard the media’s glee about it all over the world. You expect that from the Arab world, but the US media, was just as complicit. To constantly show it and repeat over and over how “in the Arab world, throwing one’s shoes is the ultimate form of dis-respect”. Any opportunity to stick-it to the President is what the media has lived on for years now…

Yet, President Bush shows amazing humility, grace and humor to deflect the anger and lack of gratitude he must have felt after the despicable incident. I have always said the man must have an inner peace and calm about him not to explode and go postal at times..

I have not always agreed with everything President Bush has done. However, I think his accomplishments were unappreciated. So, I have compiled the top 5 things I will miss about our President:

1. He has kept us safe from the bad guys – Pure and simple, nobody can deny that President Bush and his aggressive policies against terrorists from the creation of the Dept. of Homeland Security to Gitmo to countless terror threats thwarted by his administration that he NEVER, EVER gets an once of credit for… Well, Mr. President, on behalf of my family, I want to thank you for keeping us safe… No other task was more important and you handle that better than anyone could have…

Will Barry be as vigilant…. When a foreign crisis hits, and Barry is “thinking” about “talking” to the terrorists, we will all be longing for GW to “Bring ‘em on!!!”

2. No more Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) – Yes the Looney left has become crazy, hateful and downright crazed about the President… Their unhinged signs and actions have become standard practice on the Communist News Network and MSLSD… But with Barry in power, they won’t have GW to kick around anymore….

3. His amazing generosity around the world – Nobody can deny that the President has brought freedom the the middle east… Time and history will determine if it takes hold and flourishes, but you can not deny his motives were genuine. Additionally, no other President has done more for the continent of Africa in the form of attention, assistance and aid than President Bush. The African people know it and although I never here him get credit for it (other than Bill O’Reilly) you can tell the Africans appreciate and support the President’s efforts:

4. Laura Bush - No other first lady has exuded the class and dignity than our Laura. The country absolutely loves her and she is the definition of the word “Lady”. How will the country take to MM, or Militant Michelle?? I don’t know, but she won’t be Laura, that’s for sure…

5. President Bush, the man - Above all else, this is a very good man. A very decent man. Even the President’s most ardent opponents have said publicly that when they meet the President, he is an extremely likable and decent person… The man is the type of guy that you would like to have as your friend. Everyone remembers him during the tough times following 9/11 on the pile of wreckage rallying the country behind him and his speech to the Nation after the tragedy. However, I always remember that one ad during the 2004 election where President Bush met a girl names Ashley whose mother died during 9/11. In case you don’t remember, here it is:

If that doesn’t tell you what type of man he is inside, I don’t know what will..

The world has been extremely tough on this man for the mistakes that were made that he must pay for because they happened on his watch,. But I think history will determine that this was a great man with strong convictions that led us in some very tough times with humility, empathy and strength…

I would love to know your thoughts as well..

I, for one, would like to say, thank you, Mr. President. You will be missed.

Just my thoughts…

It’s Cool to be a Conservative….  Visit my blog at www.GOPMike.com for more witty, conservative articles..

To my Conservative Friends:

In selecting his cabinet and staff, I have constantly hear the pundits say “President-elect Obama is going to the middle and will govern as a centrist or a moderate”… Yuck!!! I’d rather he be a unabashed liberal… This moderate stuff really ticks me off….

What is a “moderate” or an “independent”???? It sounds good right?? You can tell people that you are “open to all sides of the argument” and you “aren’t tied to any ideology or person”. You “look at the issue or candidate and decide on a case by case basis of what or whom to support”.

As the SNL Church Lady used to say – “Isn’t that Special”. You are so bright and intelligent, aren’t you… Independents and moderates are always courted vigorously during a campaign and they love the attention they get from all the media…

They wire these high-brows up during the debates and they “instantly” tell us what they liked and didn’t about what the candidates said…. “Oh, we have to do well with independents, they tell you”…

This all begs the question of “Who the hell is an moderate anyway?” and “Are they really moderate or are they just hiding their true colors to be looked at by society as an “intelligent” and “open minded”..

Ask a “moderate” a few simple questions and you can quickly find out who they truly are:

1. Are you against Re-distributing wealth from the upper class to the lower class?

If the person quickly exclaimed, “Isn’t is a good thing if we can all share in the success of each other’s gifts – Wouldn’t that be “fair” (a lib fave word) to help the less-fortunate” – They just might be a lefty!!

2. Are you for a strong Military?

If the guy went into a monologue that “Don’t we already have too much fighting in this topsy-turvy world today (like we conservatives like war)? And aren’t we all brothers and sisters on this big, great blue marble that we need to protect and nourish each other and the environment we all share” – He might be a lefty!!

3. Are you pro-life?

If the person went on a diatribe about its a constitutional right for a woman to “choose” (by the way – that is so false) and they go on to give you the “hanger in the back alley argument” – That person is most likely a lefty….

4. Are you for limited government spending just for defense, infrastructure and funds to operate the basic 3 branches of government? (btw – a lib would not know the 3 branches – side bet????)

If the individual goes into a soliloquy about the government needs to do more to provide health care as a birthright (missed that one in the Constitution too) and we need to spend more to protect endangered spotted-wild flamingo’s…. They most likely are lefties…

So I believe that there are very few if any, moderates… You either believe one way of governing or another. If you don’t know how you feel about these issues or are all over the map in answering, then your not a liberal or a conservative.

You are simply an uneducated, mis-informed voter and immediately get your MSNBC pin and Keith Overbite fan club card and get driven to the polls in a DNC van and told which lever to press…. And guess who that might be for????

I am often amused at the lengths the media and the public has gone to immortalize this guy, but this has got to take the cake…. Before the guy steps foot in the oval office, before he writes a bill, passes a budget, does a single, solitary thing, they are fawning and bowing to the Messiah….

Do you want to eat your holiday bird on Barry’s face??? If so watch this:

This guy has become a rock star, now he must become a President… Can you imagine the size of this guys ego!!!!

I was not born yet when JFK was President, but I don’t think he received quite as much adulation before he even did anything in office… Barry, when you objectively look at it, has not done a thing to date… As a Community organizer, as a state senator or a US senator… Can the libs point to one piece of major legislation or cause that he stood for that was ground-breaking???? …. Crickets…. I thought so…

Democratic political hacks, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd conspiring….

During the Thanksgiving dinner, I am sure most of you sat at your dinner table with a lot of friends and family that you have not seen since before the election… And I am sure that you were appalled that when the economy came up, you heard the usual mis-informed, idiotic dim-witted comments like “Bush was asleep at the wheel”, the “Republicans screwed up this economy”, etc….

I am so sick and tired of hearing that the President and the Republicans are responsible for this economic mess… I am not saying that they don’t share some accountability, but lets get one thing straight – It was Bad Loans supported by the Dems that started this whole mess!!!

It is Real estate that makes our entire economy turn…. When there are no real estate transactions, nobody makes any money…. From Mortgage companies, investors, banks, title companies, attorneys, realtors, moving companies, contractors, handymen, landscapers, retailers and on and on…. If no transactions are occurring, the economy screeches to a halt…

To my Conservative Friends:

On this Thanksgiving day, I wanted to remind all of us that we have much to be thankful for…. We live in the most generous, free and greatest country ever created by man…. Our founding fathers had wisdom beyond their time to create a union as great and as lasting as ours…

But, today, I would like to give thanks to our troops who put it all on the line to fight for freedom for us, and others around the globe who seek it… To be part of this very special group is truly something extraordinary to be proud of and to be honored…

I remember a great tribute by a great American Company, Budweiser that, if it doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, I don’t know what will:

Sometimes we get so busy with our lives and jobs that we take it for granted the service and sacrifice they willingly and enthusiastically volunteer to this great land…

So lets remember our brave men and women who defend our freedom and make us so proud…

May God protect the troops and Bless the United States of America…

Have a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving…

Well, Christmas has taken another shovel to the back of the head… In Patchogue, NY the town’s Chamber of Commerce, who host the event, changed the name of the traditional Christmas parade to the more “non-offensive”, Boat Parade of Lights!!!!

How special that sounds…. Kumbaya, my Lord, Kumbaya!!!!!

Now, nothing galls me more than this POLITICALLY CORRECT HORSESH–!!!!!!

Are you kidding me or what!!!!

The organizers claim that “some” residents felt the name of the parade wasn’t “inclusive enough”!!!! Well, if that doesn’t get your blood to boil, I don’t know what does….
