The state of the Union speech: The parts that the media cut out.

This part of the state of the union was left out by the media, who worships the one. Here it is...





I've been promising tax cuts since my run for presidency, and I will still cut your taxes through my magical orator skills and hand movements. This recession the American folks are suffering through was caused by not enough taxes, Bush, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and the tea party movement. So, to help the people of the United States of Obama, excuse me, America, I will cut taxes all over the board by increasing taxes. To those of you who are progressive friends, know the code word for cutting taxes means taxing everybody much more, and in a recession its the only way to economic prosperity.

(applause, some coughing and sneezing)

I've also been working out legalizing mermaids, so we can tax their home, the city of Atlantis. I have also proposed a leprechaun tax, thereby seizing all pots of gold under rainbows, and giving them to our unions and community organizations. Vampires now have a blood tax, wherein they must inform the government of all bites. Werewolves must now be subjected to get a pet license .Dragons must register all assets plundered and pillaged and are forced to pay a special carbon tax. Elves will be fined for every arrow they create out of our national forests and pixies will be sent to prison for "pixie dust."

( pause for applause and laughter)

It is up to this administration to save the US, the economy, the morals of the nation. and quite frankly, the world. The world was born anew since I have arrived and my genius shows at every moment. Remember the stimulus bill? It created nine billion jobs. When the stock market goes up its due to my policies. When the stock market goes down its Bush's fault. Progressive policies are the way to go. High taxes and massive poverty, except for the government elites. Government officials running your life, low motivation in your work place, if you can find work, and lots of fear if you cross us. Help me apologize to the world for Americas' leading in the economic region, military, and pursuit to a happy free life. We progressives advocate tyranny, fear, an oppressive and massive government, and a United States that is totally unrecognizable from what you have today. But unlike Marxists, we progressives have been implementing our agenda one baby step at a time. One day, this country will be different.

((massive applause from the democrats(Pelosi's face actually moved a little))



After that the media cut back into where he was talking about the bank bailout.

2010: A new Year

I was talking with my wife the other day thinking of Brown's win in Massachusetts and the effect of his potential NO on this health care bill and wondering what will happen in the future. If Brown follows on this promise and this bill dies, will this administration finally listen to the people and turn centrist, not hard left as they currently are. I sincerely doubt that, knowing how little Obama has spent in the political field, his leftist staff, and one year of ignoring the populace. Now, with the first year come and gone I'm expecting more bills in the House to be as stupid and as wasteful as the stimulus packages were, but with this health care bill being stopped, I believe this is a HUGE win for our large and small businesses. If the bill had come to fruition, the unemployment rate would have surpassed it's latest highest numbers and left businesses paying huge taxes they did not support. Well, with that possibility out of the way they can look to this new year and pray that they are not targeted by this president's hatred of capitalism. If most of this administrations' many expensive 1000 page waste of trees are continue to be defeated and retain low popularity, the American people will weather the storm, as they have before. It is up to the people to maintain the American dream the founders put in place, still envied by the rest of the world. If this administration can't pass the job destroying bills they've brought up, the business may start hiring again, hopefully improving our hurting economy and lowering the unemployment rate.

Having that said we can't lie back and expect good things to come. Support other candidates in other states and spread the word of worthy politicians who should be in office, not the liberal incumbents, RINOS, or lame ducks attempting bipartisanship when the democrats don't care one iota about an oppositions opinion. Continue to attend tea parties and make known the real reasons why the American public has been riled up from this administration. The Democrats may be ignoring us, but the independent voting base have viewed our message and have spoken. They are not happy. They have heard and viewed countless lies and false representation by the media, newspapers, and leftist loons spewing bile at the Conservative base. The demonization of businesses and people exercising the first amendment have really opened the eyes of those who found out they were lied to, wronged, or seeing  the many broken promises of this administration. The independent base helped Brown's election, and they will be a huge help in the future. 2010 should be an interesting year!

An interesting race

Scott Brown, of whom we all know of by now, is neck and neck with his liberal counterpart of the dem party. Here's a quick video I thought you would find interesting.



I've looked into his website http://www.brownforussenate.com/senator-brown and know that he will vote against the health care bill, and with the race this close the liberal dems are scared. They are already planning on how to run it down our throat if he wins, to delay his swearing in, and once again ignore the American people. Their tactics make them so disconnected, so wrong from the public eye, that it makes you sick they walk the grounds real patriots have trodden.




Martha Coakley (D) went on to blame Bush for her woes at her rally, as well as Obama did when he endorsed her. (More the reason to see her lose). All the speakers went on to attack Brown for driving a truck! Now, Coakley I can see, but Obama? Didn't he tell us to buy GM before? And now he's attacking a regular guy for driving a truck? Both are showing elitist attitudes vs the common populace. They must really hate regular Americans.




Glenn Beck will list Coakley's "accomplishments" list. Pray she loses. ( She also misspelled her own state on one of her adds)

Healthcare: A Right?

Liberals have claimed during the health care bills currently in the Senate and House before that Health care is a right and all should be included. Some claim the public option while others just want higher taxes and less initiative in their own lives. So what makes health care a right? This website thinks so.... They quote the declaration of human rights from the UN. This website also mentions that opponents of the bill think people should die in the streets like dogs. They also claim there is a right to education as an argument to coincide with their stance. Aside from that I ask again, what makes Healthcare a right? Are the bills currently being debated legal and do they follow the constitution? What makes government officials so saintly over insurance companies? How have other government programs worked out in the past?

If health care is a right, what else is justified as right in the minds of liberals? If you are a proponent of the "right to healthcare" crowd, would you disagree if I asked if it was a right to walk into your house and raid your fridge? How about if I had a right to use your car till I used my right to use some other items you pay for. When you start claiming rights based on political agenda you seem to miss the big picture. What is the big picture you ask? You miss out on the fact we're in a RECESSION! To be mandated to pay taxes for something that we cannot afford and to have rationed healthcare that we did not vote for does not seem like a right to me. To force my cousin who just became an intern after medical school lower pay while working over 60 hours with her school bills...wheres the pursuit of happiness when you can't pay for what you pursued in the first place? Is it your right to dictate pay of individuals who save lives everyday? Is it your right to have a government official decide if an operation is too costly for a patient?


How are you going to force some religions who do not believe in health care? Your "right" denying the first amendment to those. But I'm guessing your "right" trumps the constitution, right? Maybe you should think of the rights given by the constitution before applying political agendas.

Looking back at my guesses for the 2009 NFL season..

I made a post on Sept. 14th guessing who the regular season winners will be and had to laugh. Some were close to right on... others were way off! Here's the link to the earlier post: http://eric.blogtownhall.com/2009/09/14/something_different.thtml So with the post season starting this Saturday I guess I'll weigh in my guesses all the way to the Super Bowl. I'd also like to hear how you will think the games will pan out.

AFC


Wildcard
Jets & Bengals:

Despite the thrashing the Jets gave Cinncinati last Sunday I see a closer game with the Jets edging out a 27-24 win. (sorry Bengals fans)

Ravens & Patriots:

A close game here as well with defense as a key. Welker is a huge loss to the patriots, but this team still maintains a great record in the post season. I pick Patriots 17-10.

 AFC Divisional Round


Colts & Patriots:

The Colts offense should be rested and Peyton Manning will put points on the board. The Pats defense will hold back the Colts till late in the 2nd and 3rd. I see the Colts winning 21-7.

Chargers & Jets:

The Chargers are on a roll. This will be a great game with Chargers running up the score 35-27.

Conference Championship

Colts & Chargers

Colts will look to avenge their last post season loss to this Chargers team and will turn into a brilliant conference championship game with both quarterbacks looking down the field for big plays. I wouldn't have done this earlier this year, but I'll go with the Chargers taking this game. 21-20.


NFC

Wildcard
Eagles & Cowboys

My earlier guess about the Eagles taking the NFC East would have been correct had it not been for the Cowboy team that really means business now. A game won by the ground with an occasional big play downfield, I pick the Cowboys 17-14.

Packers & Cardinals

The cardinals have been inconsistent this year with great wins and horrible losses. The Packers started slow and then went on a rampage, beating teams late in the season such as the Cowboys, Ravens, and destroying the Cardinals. I see the Packers yet again taking the chance of the Cardinals making the Superbowl this year. Packers win. 38-34.

Divisional Round

Saints & Packers

The Saints have lost momentum and will face a strong team in the Packers looking for playoff redemption.I think the PAckers want it more though with a brilliant game in the air and on the ground from both teams, but not scoring as much as their stats will show. I pick the Saints 31-17.

Vikings & Cowboys

This will become a very hard hitting games with tensions running. Favre's previous playoff experience and attacks from both the air and ground will challenge this Cowboy defense at every snap. I'll have to take experience and the record of the Vikings beating the Cowboys this year. Close game at 28-24

Conference Championship

Saints & Vikings

A game where the ground will help win with some great plays down-field. I believe this will come down to the wire with a last 2 minute drive from Favre. Vikings win 37-34.



Super Bowl XLIV

Vikings and Chargers

Both teams hungry for this year's championship, I believe the defenses on both sides will play extremely well. Big plays be the secondary on each side will be necessary against the tall receivers of San Diego and Sidney Rice of the Vikings. I pick for this years Super Bowl to win the Minnesota Vikings. 21-17

The Best Notable Quotables of 2009

This is courtesy of http://mrc.org/notablequotables/bestof/2009/judges.aspx with a large judge panel. Please note the reocurring theme from these quotes and where a majority of the quotes come from. This is a very large list. You also may want to punch the screen. Enjoy.

The Coronation of the Messiah Award for Fawning Inaugural Coverage

Winner

Bill Weir (66 points)

“We know that wind can make a cold day feel colder, but can national pride make a freezing day feel warmer? It seems to be the case because regardless of the final crowd number estimates, never have so many people shivered so long with such joy. From above, even the seagulls must have been awed by the blanket of humanity.”
— ABC’s Bill Weir on World News, January 20. [MP3 Audio (0:25)]

Runners-Up

Andrea Mitchell (63 points)

“What a day it was. It may take days or years to really absorb the significance of what happened to America today....When he [Barack Obama] finally emerged, he seemed, even in this throng, so solitary, somber, perhaps already feeling the weight of the world, even before he was transformed into the leader of the free world....The mass flickering of cell phone cameras on the Mall seemed like stars shining back at him.”
— NBC’s Andrea Mitchell on the January 20 Nightly News. [MP3 Audio (0:33)]

Tom Brokaw (62 points)

“You know what it [Obama’s inauguration] reminds me of? It reminds me of the Velvet Revolution. I was in Prague when that happened. And Vaclav Havel was a generational leader and was in the square in Prague and the streets were filled with joy. And we’re not overthrowing a communist regime here, obviously, but an unpopular President is leaving and people have been waiting for this moment.”
— NBC’s Tom Brokaw during live coverage prior to Obama’s inauguration, January 20. [MP3 Audio (0:32)]

Carol Costello (23 points)

“It was a giant love-fest....When Barack Obama started to speak, I was right in the middle of the crowd. People were crying, they were laughing, they were cheering. Suddenly someone would just come up and hug you. It was just amazing. It was like you’re standing in the middle of these strangers, and all of a sudden you had a million friends around you. That’s what it felt like yesterday.”
— CNN’s Carol Costello on the January 21 American Morning, recounting her experience at Obama’s inauguration. [MP3 Audio (0:28)]




Master of His Domain Award for Obama Puffery

Winner

Joe Klein (100 points)

“The legislative achievements have been stupendous — the $789 billion stimulus bill, the budget plan that is still being hammered out (and may, ultimately, include the next landmark safety-net program, universal health insurance). There has also been a cascade of new policies to address the financial crisis — massive interventions in the housing and credit markets, a market-based plan to buy the toxic assets that many banks have on their books, a plan to bail out the auto industry and a strict new regulatory regime proposed for Wall Street. Obama has also completely overhauled foreign policy, from Cuba to Afghanistan. ‘In a way, Obama’s 100 days is even more dramatic than Roosevelt’s,’ says Elaine Kamarck of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. ‘Roosevelt only had to deal with a domestic crisis. Obama has had to overhaul foreign policy as well, including two wars. And that’s really the secret of why this has seemed so spectacular.’”
Time’s Joe Klein in the magazine’s May 4 cover story on Barack Obama’s first 100 days as President.

Runners-Up

Liz Sidoti (49 points)

“It didn’t take long for Barack Obama — for all his youth and inexperience — to get acclimated to his new role as the calming leader of a country in crisis....Rookie jitters? Far from it....For the past three months, Obama has spoken in firm, yet soothing tones. Sometimes he has used a just-folks approach to identify with economically struggling citizens. He has displayed wonkish tendencies, too, appearing much like the college instructor he once was while discussing the intricacies of the economic collapse. He has engaged in witty banter, teasing lawmakers, staffers, journalists and citizens alike. He has struck a statesmanlike stance, calling for a renewed partnership between the United States and its allies....”
— AP Washington correspondent Liz Sidoti in an April 25 dispatch, “Obama quickly, confidently adapts to presidency.”

Terry Moran (38 points)

“There were ghosts in that chamber tonight, the other Presidents who tried to reform the health care system and failed. From Teddy Roosevelt, to Harry Truman, to Bill Clinton who came to Congress 16 years ago this month with his plan....There was another ghost in the chamber tonight, the spirit of Senator Ted Kennedy, who fought for decades for universal care....At the end, President Obama sought to draw on the grand rhetorical tradition of President Kennedy and others, trying to summon the country to a great and necessary endeavor.”
— ABC’s Terry Moran reporting on Obama’s speech to Congress on Nightline, September 9. [MP3 Audio (0:41)]



The Crush Rush Award for Loathing Limbaugh

Winner

Janeane Garofalo (59 points)

“The type of female that does like Rush is the same type of woman that falls in love with prisoners. You know what I mean? They like Richard Ramirez or — Squeaky Fromme is a good example. I think Charles Manson’s — Eva Braun, Hitler’s girlfriend. That is exactly the type of woman that responds really well to Rush. And there will be some Eva Brauns, Squeaky Frommes out there that will respond really well to this cattle call right now.”
— Actress/activist Janeane Garofalo on MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, February 26. [MP3 Audio (0:33)]

Runners-Up

Rick Sanchez (38 points)

“Limbaugh’s perceived racist diatribes are too many to name but here’s a sampling: He once declared that [words on screen] ‘Slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark,’ said Limbaugh.”
— CNN’s Rick Sanchez promoting a made-up quote on the 3pm ET hour of Newsroom, October 12. [MP3 Audio (0:24)]

Chris Matthews (36 points)

“Rush Limbaugh is beginning to look more and more like Mr. Big, and at some point somebody’s going to jam a CO2 pellet into his head and he’s going to explode like a giant blimp. That day may come. Not yet, but we’ll be there to watch.”
— Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Morning Meeting, October 13. [MP3 Audio (0:27)]

Bryan Burwell (27 points)

“Let’s go along for the full ride and believe that it [the slavery quote] was all a horrible ‘fabrication.’ So what are we left with? Well, essentially, I think we just threw a deck chair off the Titanic. There is still a huge pile of polarizing, bigoted debris stacked up on the deck of the good ship Limbaugh that he can’t deny or even remotely distance himself from.”
— Bryan Burwell, who launched the phony “slavery” quote into coverage of Limbaugh, October 14 St. Louis Post-Dispatch.


Toure (24 points)

“Several NFL players have already said they would not play for Rush because they know he would love to say he owns a plantation full of black men.”
— MSNBC contributor Toure on Morning Meeting, October 14. [MP3 Audio (0:14)]



Damn Those Conservatives Award

Winner

Ed Schultz (57 points)

“The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead! They’d rather make money off your dead corpse! They kind of like it when that woman has cancer and they don’t have anything for her.”
— Ed Schultz, host of MSNBC’s The Ed Show, September 23. [MP3 Audio (0:26)]

Runners-Up

Dylan Ratigan (28 points)

Host Dylan Ratigan: “Some Republicans and conservatives celebrating Obama’s failed attempt to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago. Down with Chicago! Contessa Brewer has the latest.”

News anchor Contessa Brewer: “Can you imagine this, that some people actually went as far as to cheer?”

Ratigan: “Sure. I mean, there are people that are actually trying to derail health care in order to take down Obama, even if it means half the country dies.”
— Exchange on MSNBC’s 9am ET Morning Meeting, October 5. [MP3 Audio (0:25)]


D.L. Hughley (28 points)

“The tenets of the Republican Party are amazing and they seem warm and welcome. But when I watch it be applied — like you didn’t have to go much further than the Republican National Convention....It literally look[s] like Nazi Germany.”
— CNN host/comedian D.L. Hughley to RNC Chairman Michael Steele on D.L. Hughley Breaks the News, February 28. [MP3 Audio (0:19)]




The Poison Tea Pot Award for Smearing the Anti-Obama Rabble

Winner

Anderson Cooper (65 points)

CNN analyst David Gergen: “Republicans are pretty much in disarray.... They have not yet come up with a compelling alternative, one that has gained popular recognition. So-“

Anchor Anderson Cooper: “Teabagging. They’ve got teabagging.”

Gergen: “Well, they’ve got the teabagging....[But] Republicans have got a way — they still haven’t found their voice, Anderson. They’re still — this happens to a minority party after it’s lost a couple of bad elections, but they’re searching for their voice.”

Cooper: “It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging.”
— CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, April 14. “Teabagging” is a vulgar slang term for a certain variety of oral sex; Cooper later apologized. [MP3 Audio (0:27)]

Runners-Up

Janeane Garofalo (61 points)

“Let’s be very honest about what this is about. It’s not about bashing Democrats, it’s not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston tea party was about, they don’t know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks....Fox News loves to foment this anti-intellectualism because that’s their bread and butter. If you have a cerebral electorate, Fox News goes down the toilet, you know, very, very fast....They have tackled that elusive...Klan with a ‘K’ demo.”
— Actress/activist Janeane Garofalo on MSNBC’s Countdown, April 16. [MP3 Audio (0:42)]


Susan Roesgen (41 points)

“You know, Kyra, this is a party for Obama bashers. I have to say that this is not entirely representative of everybody in America....It’s anti-government, anti-CNN, since this is highly promoted by the right wing conservative network, Fox. And since I can’t really hear much more and I think this is not really family viewing, I’ll toss it back to you.”
— Correspondent Susan Roesgen during live coverage of the tea party protests, CNN Newsroom, April 15. [MP3 Audio (0:31)]



Dan Harris (31 points)

“They’ve waved signs likening President Obama to Hitler and the devil; raised questions about whether he was really born in this country; falsely accused him of planning to set up death panels; decried his speech to students as indoctrination; and called him everything from a ‘fascist’ to a ‘socialist’ to a ‘communist.’ ...And all that was before Mr. Obama’s speech was interrupted by a representative who once fought to keep the Confederate flag waving over the South Carolina state house. Add it all up, and some prominent Obama supporters are now saying that it paints a picture of an opposition driven, in part, by a refusal to accept a black President.”
— ABC’s Dan Harris on World News, September 15. [MP3 Audio (0:44)]



Spread the Wealth Award for Socialist Sermonizing

Winner

Terry Moran (53 points)

“Why not just nationalize the banks?...People are angry. There’s so much taxpayer money going into the banks. Why shouldn’t the government — why shouldn’t you just fire the executives who wrecked these banks in the first place and tanked the world’s financial system in the process?”
— ABC’s Terry Moran interviewing President Obama for Nightline, February 10. [MP3 Audio (0:22)]

Runners-Up

Tavis Smiley (45 points)

“I don’t think that left to its own devices, capitalism moves along smoothly and everyone gets treated fairly in the process. Capitalism is like a child: if you want the child to grow up free and productive, somebody’s got to look over the shoulder of that child.”
— PBS host Tavis Smiley in a Time magazine symposium on “The Future of Capitalism,” May 25 issue.

Katie Couric (45 points)

“In Britain, a government takeover of a bank last year helped to temporarily calm fears in the financial markets there. Nationalization may have a psychological impact as well, and Uncle Sam wrapping his arms around failing banks in this country might provide a big dose of confidence for the American consumer.”
— Katie Couric on the February 19 CBS Evening News, talking about the Obama administration possibly taking over American banks. [MP3 Audio (0:26

Mark Halperin (29 points)

“We’re the only industrialized democracy that doesn’t cover every citizen. That is immoral....To be a country this wealthy and be the only industrialized democracy that hasn’t figured out how to cover everyone.”
Time senior political analyst Mark Halperin, ex-ABC News political director, talking about health insurance coverage on CNN’s Lou Dobbs Tonight, August 6. [MP3 Audio (0:16)]



Long Live Camelot Award for Lionizing Ted Kennedy


Winner

Melissa Lafsky (107 points)

“Mary Jo wasn’t a right-wing talking point or a negative campaign slogan....We don’t know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she’d have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history....[One wonders what] Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted’s death, and what she’d have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded. Who knows — maybe she’d feel it was worth it.”
Discover magazine deputy web editor Melissa Lafsky, who formerly worked on the New York Times’s Freakonomics blog, writing at the Huffington Post, August 27.

Runners-Up

Andrea Mitchell (58 points)

“The heavens were weeping for Teddy Kennedy today.”
— Andrea Mitchell noting the rainy weather for Kennedy’s funeral, August 29 NBC Nightly News. [MP3 Audio (0:15)]

Katie Couric (41 points)

“America mourns the lion of the Senate....There is, of course, no royal family in this country. The Kennedys, perhaps, the closest we’ve ever had....For nearly half a century in the Senate, Ted Kennedy spoke for people who had no voice — the poor and the disabled, children and the elderly.”
— Katie Couric kicking off the August 26 CBS Evening News. [MP3 Audio (0:24)]

Brian Williams (20 points)

Brian Williams: “We thought one way to look at his life might be the way some people looked at him today, the way filmmaker Frank Capra might have looked at life: What would it have been like without a Ted Kennedy?”...

Reporter Kevin Tibbles: “Many say Ted Kennedy’s passion was people, and tonight they have lost a champion.”
NBC Nightly News, August 26. [MP3 Audio (0:26)]



The Half-Baked Alaska Award for Pummeling Palin


Winner

Jack Cafferty (53 points)

CNN’s Jack Cafferty: “Here’s the question: ‘Would you rather listen to a speech by Sarah Palin or a speech by Newt Gingrich?’ Go to CNN — or would you rather just stick needles in your eyes? [Over loud laughter off-camera from a man other than Cafferty, presumably Blitzer] Go to CNN.com/CaffertyFile and you can post a comment on my blog. I forgot about the third option.”

Anchor Wolf Blitzer: “What do you think, Jack? You want to listen to Palin or Gingrich deliver a speech?”

Cafferty: “I’m not interested in listening to either one of them.”
— Exchange on CNN’s The Situation Room, June 9, talking about Palin and Gingrich’s appearance at a Republican fundraiser the previous evening. [MP3 Audio (0:27)]

Runners-Up

David Wright (49 points)

“She’s been an astronaut and a rock star. Pop icons Beyonce and Shakira. She’s won American Idol too. She’s even run for President twice. [Over footage of Sarah Palin] Some would argue she also ran for Vice President in 2008.”
— ABC’s David Wright in a retrospective marking the 50th anniversary of Barbie for Nightline, February 16. [MP3 Audio (0:31)]


Dan Abrams & Chuck Nice (42 points)

Ex-MSNBC anchor Dan Abrams: “Sarah Palin, to me, is like the representative of everything that’s gone wrong [for the Republican Party] lately.”

Comedian Chuck Nice: “Yeah, she’s a maverick!...And I’m going to say this, and please don’t take it the way it sounds. But, Sarah Palin to the GOP, this is what I’ve got to say: She is very much like herpes — she’s not going away. Okay? That’s it.”
— Exchange on NBC’s Today, June 9. [MP3 Audio (0:22)]

David Brooks (39 points)

“She’s a joke. I mean, I just can’t take her seriously....The idea that this potential talk show host is considered seriously for the Republican nomination, believe me, it’ll never happen. Republican primary voters just are not going to elect a talk show host.”
New York Times columnist David Brooks talking about Sarah Palin on ABC’s This Week, November 15. [MP3 Audio (0:20)]




The Un-Fairness Doctrine Award for Slamming Media Conservatives


Winner

Joe Klein (62 points)

“Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue. But I don’t understand why the White House would give such poisonous helium balloons as Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity the opportunity for still greater spasms of self-inflation by declaring war on Fox....The best antidote to their garbage is elegant, intelligent governance.”
Time’s Joe Klein on the magazine’s “Swampland” blog, October 23.

Runners-Up

Chris Matthews (50 points)

Host Chris Matthews: “The activists on radio are not afraid, because they’re not afraid of anything. But at some point, if we have violence in this country against our President of any form or attempt, people are gonna pay for it, the people who have encouraged the craziness....”

The Politico’s Roger Simon: “I agree 100 percent, but the base of the party, the core of the party, likes the clown show....They’re playing with fire.”
— MSNBC’s Hardball, September 22. [MP3 Audio (0:18)


David Zurawik (47 points)

“[Robert] Novak titled his 2007 memoir, The Prince of Darkness, and he was indeed a very dark force in cable TV news contributing mightily to the toxic culture of confrontation, belligerence and polarization that so defines cable TV and American political discourse today. There is no way to be nice about his impact on cable TV during its formative years....I am talking about Novak’s sneering TV persona and the role it played in reaching back to the dark political style of the 1950s Richard Nixon — and leading us to the polarized, angry space that cable TV and the conversation of American politics now inhabits.”
Baltimore Sun critic David Zurawik August 18 on his “Z on TV” blog, two hours after news broke of Novak’s passing.

Rick Sanchez (38 points)

“Was there a tone in this country that was actually started with the election of our first black president that is bringing the crazies out of the woodwork, and are they being motivated to move by right-wing pronouncements, like he’s dangerous, he’s a socialist, he’s a Muslim, and he isn’t even a U.S. citizen? This is what we hear on some TV and radio outlets, which, by the way, according to our Constitution, they are entitled to what they believe and even propagate.”
— CNN Newsroom anchor Rick Sanchez setting up a segment suggesting “hateful talk” can be blamed for the Holocaust museum shooting, June 11. [MP3 Audio (0:37)]



Let Us Fluff Your Pillow Award for Obsequious Obama Interviews


Winner

Katie Couric (92 points)

“You’re so confident, Mr. President, and so focused. Is your confidence ever shaken? Do you ever wake up and say, ‘Damn, this is hard. Damn, I’m not going to get the things done I want to get done, and it’s just too politicized to really get accomplished the big things I want to accomplish’?”
— CBS’s Katie Couric in an exchange with Obama shown on The Early Show, July 22. [MP3 Audio (0:19)]

Bob Schieffer (37 points)

“It seems to me that there is a sort of meanness that’s settled over our political dialogue. It started this summer at these town hall meetings....President Carter is now saying that he thinks it’s racial. Nancy Pelosi says it could be dangerous. What do you think it’s all about?”
— CBS’s Bob Schieffer to President Obama on Face the Nation, September 20. [MP3 Audio (0:22)]

Bob Schieffer (29 points)

“This week I went down to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home, where they have this wonderful new visitor center. And one of the historians down there reminded me that Thomas Jefferson once said the presidency is a ‘splendid misery.’ But at the end of his term, he also said, quote, that ‘the presidency had brought him nothing but increasing drudgery and a daily loss of friends.’ I just wonder, have you lost any friends yet?”

David Gregory (28 points)

“House Speaker Pelosi worried about the opposition, the tone of it, perhaps leading to violence as it did in the ’70s. There’s more recent examples of anti-government violence — occurring even in the mid-’90s. Do you worry about that?”

Barry’s Big Brain Award for Journalists Bedazzled by Obama’s Brilliance


Winner

Terry Moran (82 points)

“I like to say that, in some ways, Barack Obama is the first President since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office. I mean, from visionary leader of a giant movement, now he’s got an executive position that he has to perform in, in a way.”

Steve Daly (45 points)

“Spock’s cool, analytical nature feels more fascinating and topical than ever now that we’ve put a sort of Vulcan in the White House. All through the election campaign, columnists compared President Obama’s unflappably logical demeanor and prominent ears with Mr. Spock’s....Like Obama, Spock is the product of a mixed marriage (actually, an interstellar mixed marriage), and he suffers blunt manifestations of prejudice as a result....”

“People who brief him say he is able to game out scenarios before the experts in the room, even on foreign policy, national security and other issues in which he had relatively little expertise before running for president. Obama is approaching the issues as a game of ‘three-dimensional chess,’ said John O. Brennan, an assistant to the President for homeland security and counterterrorism. ‘It’s not kinetic checkers....There are moves that are made on the chess board that really have implications, so the President is always looking at those dimensions of it.’”

“Reagan [at the 1984 D-Day commemoration] was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is, ‘We are above that now. We’re not just parochial, we’re not just chauvinistic, we’re not just provincial. We stand for something.’ I mean, in a way, Obama’s standing above the country, above — above the world.

“We have an FBI, and we’re not prejudiced against somebody who’s worked at the FBI. It’s an honorable place to work. And the KGB, I think, was an honorable place to work. It gave people in the former Soviet Union, a communist country, an opportunity to do something important and worthwhile.”

Thomas Friedman (35 points)

“Watching both the health care and climate/energy debates in Congress, it is hard not to draw the following conclusion: There is only one thing worse than one-party autocracy, and that is one-party democracy, which is what we have in America today. One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century.”

Correspondent Dawna Friesen: “Her husband is, of course, the big star of the show, but this is Michelle Obama’s first foray on to the global stage as First Lady.

The deregulation, the idea of the unfettered, free market, the blind foreign policy. This was a very radical group of people who pushed things in a very radical direction, had great success at moving things in that direction, and we are suffering the consequences.”

Twas the Night before Christmas and all through the house
not a creature was stirring not even a mouse
the stockings were hung by the chimney with care
in the hopes that soon Obama would be there
the children were nestled all in their beds
with visions of xboxes danced in their heads
And mom in her jamas and me with a beer in my lap
took a quick drink and got ready for a long winters nap
And out in the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter
Away to the window, I flew like a flash
Or as fast as a liberal running away from facts
The moons reflection of the global warming snow
gave the luster of mid-day below
And what, to my wondering eyes should appear
Air Force one and 8 pathetic dems here
With a lively teleprompter whos turning back the clocks
I knew in a moment it must be Barack
More rapidly he spent money than his predecessors he came
he yelled at his fellow dems and called them by name
Now Pelosi now! now Reid, now! Holder and Gibbs
On Emanuel, On! On Axelrod, on!  Hillary and Gates
To the top of the world! To the treasury all!
Now spend their money, spend their money, spend their money all!
When they meet an obstacle, ignore it and to the sky
So up to the housetop the elitists flew
with many new policies to overtax you
And annoying sounds I heard on the roof
to stop global warming I should paint it white as a tooth
As I drew in my fist and turned around
Down the chimney the one came down
He was dressed in the nicest suit and in the mirror he stared
forgetting this lowly citizen was there
A bundle of policies he had on his back
Full of new taxes and a common sense lack
His eyes showed so much malcontent for me
knowing that I did not believe in the D
His mouth curved in a nasty little sneer
something Pelosi couldn't do from too much surgeries I fear
A stump of the constitution he held in his teeth
and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath
He had a broad face and a flat chested belly
that liberals worship like a dog in a deli
He was arrogant, disconnected a sad sort of  guy
I looked at him a gave a loud sigh
A huge stimulus and a twist of his head
I knew that there was plenty to dread
He spoke not a word but straight to his work
taking my money, guns, freedom, what a jerk
and burning the constitution in the fire and rose
giving me the bird there he goes
He sprung to Air Force One, to his team gave a whistle
his policies were like being stabbed with a thistle
But I heard him exclaim as AF1 flew out of sight
higher taxes for all, praise to marxism and Alinskyites.

Sarah Palin Book signing

The day started with a cold wintery blast of 5 degree snowy weather with a -1 degree windchill here in Denver. The day before the book signing I bought my wife "Going Rogue" for an early Christmas gift and decided to get Palin's John Hancock included. So,  on the morning of December 8th my wife and I trek down to Colorado Springs, braving the snowstorm, icy roads, extreme cold and powerful wind, we make for the mall. About an hour and a half later, due to traffic and the weather, we arrive to receive wristbands to get a guaranteed spot in line, only to find that the line extends down the mall and back with a least 900 people in front of us. Borders did not allow people to camp out in front of the store, but folks stayed outside of the mall to get an early spot at 6:30 in the morning. So we waited for an hour and a half before receiving wristbands and decided to wait the 5 hours at the mall before getting back in line. We did not want to make a trek outside since it got colder, with the wind increasing and the temperature dropped to -1 with a -14 degree windchill (global warming, right). So, meandering the mall and reading some books for the next few hours 4 p.m. hits and the line starts filling. Mrs. Palin was not due till 7 p.m but she arrived early to start just before 6. At first we were worried we may not make it in due to the enormous line that proceeded us, with different colored wristbands, our color was last. The no-wristband line was increasing as well, not knowing if they could get in, but praying since they knew they had to wait for last. At around 5:45 the first colors started and the crowd loudly cheered. During the times in the line my wife and I had some good talks with some very nice folks that were waiting as well, both young and old. As the time passed, slowly and surely that line started decreasing as Palin's insignia graced numerous cover pages. After 3 hours we finally made it inside Borders and up the escalator to view her, and she did not disappoint. She's even more beautiful in person and when my wife and I had the chance to meet her she shook our hands and had a brief conversation before moving on. I may have reminded her of her son, since she asked me if I was in the service. She did not want the press upstairs with her and personalized each visit, even though the numbers surpassed 1000 people. We both wished, as did many others, that more time could have been allowed, but due to the number of books needing to be signed, each person had 20 seconds with her. Our journey back home was an extremely cold one, we were tired and hungry, but felt the trip was well worth it. I can't imagine signing that many books though!

The story of Gore

After putting Al Gore into a Hypnosis and probing the deepest recesses of his mind, I found some startling new discoveries, and a back story that nobody has heard. In fact, this explains his entire life and the event's leading to today. And here it is....

It all began on the planet of Goritan where little Al Gore was born, known as Kal-Bel on his planet to his parents Dore Bel and Laura. His parents knew of the impending doom of their planet from Reality Shows and Code Pink and devised a small spacecraft to save their little Kal-Bel. As they take off the Planet explodes after their leaders got too annoyed from TV and Code Pink and took the easy way out. Kal-Bel's parents both perished after realizing that they forgot their ID's and proceeded back into the explosion. Little Kal Bel's spacecraft made it's way to a little known planet of Earth and landed outside of Washington D.C, where he would change the face of the nation, the world, the Milky Way, the Galaxy, the Universe, the Cosmos, Reality, and Utah.

It was when Albert Gore Sr, a Representative and soon to be Senator in Tennessee found little Kal-Bel and took him as his own. Running through the wreckage he could discern some writing on a sheet of paper, coincidently in English,  from this little alien babies parental units. It read "This is Kal-Bel from the planet Goritan. Our planet has been destroyed and our son is seeking refuge and a new life. I urge whomever reads this note to take him as your own and give him a good life. We should warn you though, each one of us Goritans' have but one weakness: Common Sense. Make sure you grow little Kal-Bel in a common sense free environment and he will prevail at whatever venue he seeks." Mr. Gore looked puzzled, but saw potential in this one. So, they took him home and called him Albert Jr. or Al  for all who now know him.

Al Gore would soon learn of his weakness by his father, who suggested that if he were ever to follow his footsteps, he should agree with the hippies that would soon run America. Whenever Gore did something of common sense, his body would seize up, and actions could not be taken. Therefore as Gore got older he went to Harvard. During his final years Gore was worried about being drafted for Viatnam, and hated the troops for what they were doing, so he voluntered and was eventually sent over.  His weakness overcame him when he realized his war stance was wrong entirely and witnessed the Southern Viatnamese civilians longing for freedom. He would later receive an honorable discharge.

Gore grew into politics and eventually became VP to former president Fly-Down Clinton. It was during the first Bush administration that Gore realized he would throw the most nonsensical insinuations so his arch nemesis common sense would not get the best of him. Global Warming. This theory made him feel good all over. Also trying to take credit for the internet had him feeling euphoric. His statements of Clinton being innocent also did not hurt him. He knew how to thwart common sense.


After this came the 2000 presidential run and the infamous "recount" which spawned a movie. Need I say more?


The later years consisted of Al Gore trying to gain as much attention as possible and in whatever way possible. He could not get enough of the spotlight and during the 2004 election year endorsed Howard YAAAAAHHH Dean, who in some ways is certifiably insane. Around 2006, when Gore decided to play among the fears of millions, An Inconvenient Truth came out, a film riddled with inconsistencies and false truths. He shamed common sense and would use this film to brainwash millions across the globe. He originally thought of creating a movie of how bigfoot had an technologically advanced underground civilization and would play pranks on humans in forests, but he remembered the hysteria global cooling resulting in a potential ice age had and decided in another fell swoop to try to gain as much power and money as possible. He would never dream that the UN would so bow down to his antics that they would tell developing countries how to develop their way, or else they would be doomed. Winning the Nobel Peace Prize for a made up theory fed his ego and showed the ineptitude of the Nobel Peace committee. He loves teachers who show his movie and don't allow any criticism. He goes around and makes hundreds of thousands just for giving very boring power points in a very robotic fashion. Al Gore also secretly wrote how humorous it is to fly around in a jet while living in a mansion and his followers would never question his motives, or the fact he never allows debates on the subject. But recently his arch nemesis common sense has made a return. His pawn scientists emails were hacked and were made public, something that would seriously hurt the global warming cause. More scientists are coming out against global warming and the public support is falling. Gore is certainly frightened at this prospect. If he loses his cult following and is shamed by the inconsistencies and hypocricies shown by global warming enthusiasts and the creator Gore, he could never make something so crazy up again and gain support. Gore has been happy that common sense has left the white house and other countries' leaders, but it seems common sense has found a way to thwart Gore, through the internet, through mother nature, through scientists who are actually scientists, and factual data given by nonpartisan scientists.


Watch out Gore. Looks like Earth may not end up like Goritan!

Tea Party Express- Denver 11/03

A cool night and a patriotic crowd showed up in downtown Denver last night when the tea party express bus backed it's way out of a busy street. My estimate ranged at 250-400 people, with a small liberal pro-nationalized health care crowd trying to cause fights and anarchy to downplay the event. The bus pulled in around sunset, snow still on the ground from our October storm, and a partially veiled moon peeked out behind some clouds. The bus got stuck in traffic and showed up late, but during that time people riled the crowd up with their signs and the chant of USA and FREEDOM! The crowd ranged from the very young of 4 all the way to men and women in their 80's, of all backgrounds and walks of life. As the tea party started, music was played, spirits were high, despite the cold, (global warming didn't show up), and a patriotic sense filled the atmosphere. A wide range of interesting speakers and songs followed. One of the most interesting part was when the liberal pro-nationalized health care crowd tried to storm our tea party. They could not get beyond the folks in the back, where I was close to, and so they resorted to interrupting our speaker, (Deborah Johns, vice chairman of PAC), and trying to pick fights. These liberals were uninformed and ignorant, yet were most likely paid off by the look of their signs, which were not home made, and were met by Americans who knew the facts of the current Piglosi bill. You could see they were scared by the looks in their eyes, not by violence, but the general feeling of the populace that has been growing of late. No doubt the libs wanted violence to break out as to downplay and condemn the entire event, but we took up the chant of USA, and after some arguments, they retreated and ran. After this whole ordeal Joe the Plumber gave a great speech, and others continued on. They are on their way to DC and on Thursday will have another tea party. All in all, the tea parties show the general feelings held by the country, and these upcoming elections are proof of that.

Let's take back America. It's not just conservatives that are riled. Independents are feeling betrayed, republicans are confused, the democrats are fighting their own party wars, and those that are indifferent and apathetic are seeing this administrations continuing failures. We need to continue flooding the offices of our representatives with phone calls, mail, and protests. We need to continue battling the liberals who see their power failing with facts and knowledge of the current bills and situations that surround us and our fellow countrymen abroad. The uninformed are being surprised that information that we provide is contradictory of what MSNBC or CNN says, and we can prove our statements, such as how much tax increases will result from the Piglosi bill. Lets not stop now.


I did not have a camera at this one, but I found these two sites you can check out. Both contain pictures and reflections on the event. http://thefreedomimages.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/tea-party-express-comes-to-denver/

10 things to do when the greenies come to town

After hearing about what Climate Chief Lord Stern said and finding the article on Crawfish's Swamp, I was thinking about what to do when a climate change/global warming conference is in your area...

1. Bring a Grill and invite your friends. Make sure somebody has a gas guzzling vehicle.

2. Run out of lighter fluid? Use something green and put that near the coals. Maybe the box from Al Gore's movie. I would also use Al Gore's movie for target practice.

3. Create a BIG sign that shows the average temperatures over the last 10 years... How could they be falling?!!!

4. Bring pictures of how the UN has "helped" the poor African Countries develop by demanding green energy or none.

5. Create pamphlets of Al Gores Scientific credentials (that'd be pretty small), and a pamphlet of a scientists opposing Globull warming and compare.

6. Smoke a nice Cuban Cigar next to a green crowd.

7. Ask Greenies why they are racist towards nuclear power?

8. Demand action be taken against our Sun for causing heat.

9. Petition for a bill to drop a Giant Ice cube the size of Rhode Island into the North Hemisphere to counteract the effects of Globull warming and to "save" the Polar Bear population.

10. Ask if Al Gore is an escaped mental patient.
