Democrats say fried food is unpatriotic

Posted 27 Jun 2008 in Democrats, patriotism

According to Democrats, patriotism no longer has anything to do with the flag or loyalty to and love of one’s country. Cue the new change: Patriotism now means eating “healthy.” As part of the effort to make the August 25-28 convention the greenest ever, the Democrats’ guidelines for food catering include one that strikes at the heart of Southern cuisine: no fried food. No fried chicken. No fried catfish. No fried green tomatoes. No fried okra. No fried anything. In promoting healthy eating habits, the Democratic guidelines say every meal should be nutritious and include “at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, purple/blue and white.” “It’s the new patriotism,” says Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the driving...

Religion of Peace update: Marriage at one year of age, sex at nine

Posted 27 Jun 2008 in Islam, outrage, Religion of Peace update

What do the liberal justices on the Supreme Court have in common with Saudi Arabia? They both condone pedophiles:Supreme Court: No death penalty for child rape 5-4, with Kennedy joining the liberals to make a majority and the conservatives in dissent, the same posture for most “values” cases these days and just the latest reminder that Americans are fully justified in their cynicism about how the Court goes about deciding these things. Saudi Marriage Official Says 1-Year-Old Brides OK Saudi marriage officiant Dr. Ahmad al-Mu’bi told Lebanese television viewers last week that it’s permissible for girls as young as 1 to marry — as long as sex is postponed. “You can have a marriage contract even with a 1-year-old...

Prerequisites for HopeyChange

Posted 27 Jun 2008 in John McCain

Looks like it doesn’t take much time to become an expert in “change.” Only about 143 days. (h/t: Fuzzy’s Dad) Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much.  From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That’s how many days the Senate was actually in session and working. After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days —...

SCOTUS declares 2nd Amendment guarantees individual right to gun ownership

Posted 26 Jun 2008 in gun control, SCOTUS

There was a landmark ruling today by the Supreme Court in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller where they declared Washington DC’s ban on handguns to be unconstitutional. Of course, it was a 5-4 split decision with the four liberal justices deciding against private ownership of firearms. WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Americans have a right to own guns for self-defense and hunting, the justices’ first major pronouncement on gun rights in U.S. history. The court’s 5-4 ruling struck down the District of Columbia’s 32-year-old ban on handguns as incompatible with gun rights under the Second Amendment. The decision went further than even the Bush administration wanted, but probably leaves most firearms laws intact....

Obama or die!

Posted 25 Jun 2008 in 2008 election, Barack Obama, cult of Obama

Ah, the audacity of racism. Barack Obama didn’t attend the BET Awards, but that didn’t stop attendees from talking about him. “If we all register and vote, we will have the first black president in the history of America,” Sean “Diddy” Combs told the crowd Tuesday at the Shrine Auditorium before chanting “Obama or Die” – a declarative remix of his neutral “Vote or Die” motto from the 2004 presidential election, when he attempted to boost the youth vote. So is he saying that everyone will die if they don’t vote for Obama, or that everyone who doesn’t vote for Obama will be killed? Either way, the cult of Obama is really going off the rails.

Debunking the arguments against domestic oil drilling

Posted 25 Jun 2008 in class warfare, Democrats, economy, energy, oil and gas, Republicans

Dan from Gone Mild recently wrote a bitter post decrying oil companies’ “obscene profits” (as if they’re the ones gouging the American public) and trying to assert that McCain is bought-and-paid-for by “big oil” while the Obamessiah is benevolently seeking to bring “yeswecanhopechange” to America. I felt the need to respond, as this hot-button issue really bugs me. Whisleblower isn’t lying. Cuba has issued exploration contracts to companies from China, India, Canada, Spain, Malaysia and Norway. Just because they’re not yet “drinking our milkshake” doesn’t make it a lie. If Bill Clinton hadn’t extended the moratorium on offshore drilling back in 1998 (and his veto on ANWR drilling in 1995), we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. The “it’ll...

Protesters will be put in cages at Democrat Nat’l Convention

Posted 24 Jun 2008 in 2008 election, Democrats, hypocrisy, liberals

The Democrats think those with opposing view points should have their right to free speech…in a cage far removed from where they’ll be meeting. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Right, Dems? A spat between groups planning protests during the Democratic National Convention and Denver and federal officials continues to build as one of the biggest political events of the year rapidly approaches. City officials on Monday released additional details of an area for protesters during the convention, but an attorney for protest groups says they won’t be near delegates at the Pepsi Center. City officials say the viewing area will be encircled by wire mesh and it will not be enclosed at...
