The ultimate RINO has finally shown his true colors. Arlen Specter, good riddance to bad news.






YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Tinker Bell has been reunited with her owners after a 70-mph gust of wind picked up the six-pound Chihuahua and tossed her out of sight. Dorothy and Lavern Utley credit a pet psychic for guiding them on

Monday to a wooded area nearly a mile from where 8-month-old Tinker Bell had been last seen. The brown long-haired dog was dirty and hungry but otherwise OK. The Utleys, of Rochester, had set up an outdoor display Saturday at a flea market in Waterford Township, 25 miles northwest of Detroit. Tinker Bell was standing on their platform trailer when she was swept away.

What's the big deal another Dorothy and her Toto were taken to Oz by a big wind and it didn't take a psychic to get her home. Maybe the Utlry's should have tried tapping their heels together ! - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up








This is a can of worms that Obama should not have opened and if he keeps it open will dread the day he opened the can.







YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - HARRISON, Ark. (AP) — A Home Depot in northern Arkansas has someone new looking out for mice at the warehouse store. A great horned owl now lives in the Harrison store's garden center, looking down on surprised customers shopping for flowers and paving stones. Employees say the bird's mother flew inside of the enclosed garden center during a January ice storm and laid eggs atop a pallet of merchandise.


Over time, the mother disappeared and two baby owls poked their heads out of the nest. One fell to its death, but the other survived, its four-foot wing span blocking out the sun as he flies around the garden center. Since the garden center is open to the sky, the owl will leave, but always comes back, employees said.

It looks like this Home Depot actually does give a hoot. - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up









100 days. Obama has spent more in 100 days then Bush 43 did in his first term and Reagan in his entire eight years. The entire country is in a daze but starting to wake up to the huge mistake that sits in the White House.







YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - LINCOLN, Neb. — No, the judge said to a 23-year-old Nebraska prison inmate. You can't call yourself "Sinner Lawrence Bilskirnir." Court documents say Jonathan L. Thomas cited his Norse religion in seeking the name change, saying he "is a heathen and Thor is his 'High God.'"


But Lancaster County District Judge Steve Burns says government agencies need to closely track Thomas because of his criminal record and because there are three child-support cases against him. Burns says Thomas' reasons do not satisfy the legal requirements. In his ruling, Burns says that "simply because a person is a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim, they do not change their name to Moses."

Whatever his name is this guy is definitely an idiot ! - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up








The biggest threat to EVERYTHING in the U.S. is Obama. Wish we could keep him sedated until January 2013.

ARLEN SPECTER - GOOD RIDDANCE

Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania is officially a Democrat. Elected to the Senate in 1980 as a Republican riding the coat tails of Ronald Reagan, the former Democrat then Republican and now Democrat once again is no great loss to the GOP. Mainly because he has been a RINO, (Republican in name only), for years.

In a written statement released before his public announcement Specter tried to spin his party change as an ideological move based upon his personal stance on issues and his discovery about the way his constituency believes and as such can best ,"serve," his state as a Democrat. He also tried to allude to this in his public announcement. All of which is a load of political crap, putting it bluntly.

The truth of the matter is that Specter has angered Republicans for many years and the only reason that he won the Pennsylvania GOP primary in 2004 was because many in leadership positions in the Senate and President Bush stuck their necks out to support Specter against Pat Toomey because of Specter's seniority in the Senate. Toomey nearly won in spite of the support.

Toomey has already announced that he is running again in 2010 and polls show that he is maintaining a 20 point lead over Specter. He has also canvased state GOP money and found that he would not be able to raise the funds to run for re-election. Additionally Michael Steele has announced that the RNC would not back Specter with funding.

So this has nothing to do with ideology, or personal beliefs but re-election and re-election only. Specter has seen the handwriting on the wall and knows that he cannot win re-election as a Republican because he would be defeated in the state primary. So he cut a deal with Senate Democrats and the DNC who have promised support if he runs as a Democrat and this and this alone is why he changed parties.

Concerning his vote, nothing will change because Specter votes to the left about 75% of the time. But now that he will be caucusing with the Democrats the pressure to support all of the Democrat agenda will be greater and most likely his 75% will become 90 - 100 %.

As far as the state of Pennsylvania is concerned I believe that Specter has sealed his fate in his hopes for re-election. His turn coat move has disappointed and angered many voters in the state and in 2010 Specter will feel the backlash. Which means that most likely his seat will once again be GOP after the votes are counted and the people of Pennsylvania boot Benedict Specter out on his betraying butt.

Unfortunately in the short term Specter's defection virtually gives the Democrats a filibuster proof majority as Specter becomes number 59 with the Minnesota battle between Republican Norm Coleman and joke Al Franken still in the courts with Franken holding a slim lead. But without the Minnesota seat, Joe Lieberman who votes about 85% of the time with Democrats even as an Independent gives the 60 votes.

So for the foreseeable future Republicans have little voice in the Senate and I am sure Harry Reid will take full advantage of this. But even with the majority many Democrats from more conservative states will be thorns in Reids side along with Republicans. So a filibuster proof number may not be the icing that Reid thinks it is on his liberal cake.

Specter also publicly lied about his intention just over a month ago on March 17th when he was asked why he did not change parties after siding with Democrats on the Stimulus Bill. Specter said he had no intention of changing parties because he believed that checks and balances were necessary in the Legislative Branch. So much for ideology and truth.

Specter has been a thorn in the GOP for years and he now embarks on the twilight of his career kissing the hand of the liberals in whom he has sided with more times than not. Personally I have always thought that the person who concocted the ,"single bullet theory," while serving as legal council for then Representative Gerald Ford during the Warren Commission investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy was a few bricks short of a load. Today Specter lost all the bricks and any chance for re-election in 2010. Good Riddance !

OBAMA'S TELEPROMPTER LEAVES THE BOSS BEHIND

He has quickly become known as the TelePrompter President and yesterday was one of the best examples of the lack of ability by Barack Obama to be able to speak without coaching or a prepared speech right before his eyes.

Knowing what he had already said, Obama still begins repeating himself then tells his buddy the TelePromter that he had already introduced the people he was repeating and to advance forward.

He seems to run his adminstration in a similar manner. The end of the first 100 days are upon us and he is still as lost and in very many ways as out of touch as he was the day he took office.

While his approval numbers are average for a President at this point, what he has done is not playing as well. Nearly 60% of the American people believe the country is going in the wrong direction. More than 60% think that government is getting to involved in business and that Capitalism not government intervention is the better way to handle the economy.

Concerning the release of the CIA memos and the continuing flak about seeking an investigation into intelligence gathering and the techniques used during the Bush administration, 78% of Americans believe it is wrong to continue the witch hunt and that it was equally as wrong to release the memos.

Actions by his administration are showing that Obama and his staff are comletely out of touch with the people. Nearly 60% of Americans are against the soft stance that Obama is taking against terrorism and dislike the fact that terrosim is no longer a word allowed in description of the war, acts of murder by Islamic fascists and in reference to the killers themselves.

The lack of sensitivity to this was evidenced by the wreckless photo op of the back up Air Force One jet and the totally irresponsible fly over of New York City without public notice causing the evecuation of several buildings in downtown and panic by thousands who still vividly remember 9/11.

While a member of the Obama staff has taken the blame for the stupidity of this incident, the approval for the flyover because of the use of a Presidential jet came from only one person and that is Obama himself. He may not have known the excat time when it would take place but the fact that it was approved in the first place shows how out of touch he is with the true feelings and concern that Americans still have with terrorism and the events of 9/11.

It will not be long before the numbers in his approval ratings begin matching the numbers against his actions and policy. The glimmer of the rock star is starting to tarnish as Americans are beginning to wake up to what Obama is doing , how inexperienced he truly is and the wrong direction he is taking this Nation.

REAGAN VRS OBAMA, THE FIRST 100 DAYS - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

This week marks the end of the first 100 days of the Obama Presidency. A moment in history that all Presidents have faced and that in the modern Presidency has become a bases for review and reflection by the media and historians as to whether a President is successful or that he is actually grasping the responsibilities that he embarks upon after taking the Oath of Office.

As Obama enters that 100 day review, the spin by the Obama media and his own staff is creating the idea that Obama's, "energetic," agenda places him as the ,"greatest President in history," as one left leaning blog was quoted as stating.

In looking at the first 100 days I thought it would be interesting to compare this historical landmark that Obama is reaching to another President, Ronald Reagan. Some are trying to actually make comparisons between Reagan and Obama since both in the early days of their Presidency's have shown the ability to communicate well.

Personally in just that particularly comparison I find a great flaw in the fact that while Obama does have a smooth and charismatic delivery from his TelePrompter, what he says still has little substance and a great deal of negativism. Reagan on the other hand spoke with substance and tremendous optimism in a time where an optimistic view of America had been all but eliminated by his predecessor Jimmy Carter.

During his first 100 days Reagan while not accomplishing a massive legislative agenda, did accomplish several things that have eluded Obama. Accomplishments that in fact Obama promised during the campaign and has failed to deliver as President. One of the major themes of the Obama campaign was to set a new tone of bipartisanship in Washington, something that he has dismally failed at doing in the first 100 days.

In actuality the polarization in Washington and in the country is greater now than it was when he took office. He momentarily in only a few meetings reached out to Republicans in the first days but as a whole he has shut out all bipartisanship in nearly everything he has proposed or seen passed.

Reagan in comparison spent a great deal of time uniting and building up the confidence of the American people. The general mood in 1981 was that America's better days had passed and that trouble was all that lay ahead. Reagan told the American people that not only were America's better days ahead but that America was the best hope for the world. After four years that had Carter stating that Americans must accept limits on American growth and prestige, Reagan talked of America as the, "shining city on the hill," and of American exceptionalism. Reagan took the first strong uncompromising stance against our staunches enemy , The Soviet Union, and told Americans that we would prevail.

Obama has toured both Europe and Central America apologizing for America. Speaking of American, "arrogance," and accusing us of being ,"disengaged," with the world. He has befriended dictators and bowed to a King. He has appeased our enemies and in fact made it just a crime now to kill Americans rather than an act of war. We can no longer refer to those who seek to kill us as terrorists but their acts are known as, "man caused disasters."

Obama has pushed aside all attempts at bipartisanship in order to push through the largest deficit spending in our history and create massive social programs that allow more government dependency then at any other time in our history including the FDR years. And all of this in the first 100 days.

Reagan in contrast met personally with more than 400 members of Congress from BOTH parties. He befriended Speaker of the House, Democrat Tip O'Neill but did not bow to pressure from an opposition House in order to compromise his proposals. Rather he convinced the opposition to adopt his sweeping economic plan which though not passed in the first 100 days was adopted and within the second year of his Presidency reversed as much worse economy than we face today. He accomplished what Obama only promised to do and that is actually set a new tone in Washington.

Through Executive Orders Reagan enacted a Federal hiring freeze and lifted many encumbering Federal regulations. He cut back on White House travel at all levels and through his Cabinet members began cutting federal spending by instructing all Cabinet members to provide cuts across the board. He had a standing instruction at all levels and that was cut spending. Reagan spent his first 100 days establishing long term goals to establishing real changes in the way government worked and spent which corrected the problems and created a booming economy.

Obama has passed large hasty legislative initiatives which have expanded government more than anytime in history. Created deficits that are impossible to sustain and even more troublesome for the future of our Nation. He has imposed government in the actual operations of American business firing one CEO and threatening to fire another at Citicorp.

Reagan united a frustrated and depressed people. Obama is dividing Americans more than ever before. Reagan expressed American exceptionalism and greatness. Obama apologizes and speaks of American arrogance. Reagan made us proud to be Americans. Obama diminishes our strength to the world. Reagan made us stronger , Obama is weakening America and seeking further weakness.

Reagan is considered by most historians truly one of the greatest Presidents in history. His policy revived a decimated American economy and collapsed the greatest adversary we have ever faced. Reagan trusted the American people and thier ability to achieve. Obama trusts only government and considers the American people as dependents on that government. Obama's economic policy is bankrupting our Nation, his foreign policy is weakening our capabilities and emboldening our enemies. Reagan was truly great, Obama only thinks he is great. History has proven Reagan's greatness, history is already questioning Obama claim to greatness.

MYRTLE BEACH FIRE

There have been many of our fellow bloggers who have been expressing concern about Oliver and myself as they have followed the National News about the massive wildfire that is still burning in Myrtle Beach, SC. First let me express our thanks for the many who have asked about our well being and that both Oliver, myself and our families are safe and are not threatened by the fire. I live about ten miles from the South side of the fire and Oliver lives about three miles from it but the winds have consistently moved the fire away from his home.

Now some details about the fire. The origin is still unknown but it is suspected that it started by man made sources. The fire has, as of this morning , consumed nearly 20, 000 acres or about 31 square miles. For those who may be familiar with the Myrtle Beach area the fire is located along a line that extends from Hwy 90 in Eastern Conway east to Hwy 31 and Northeast to about five miles beyond Hwy 22. It has managed to jump two four lane highways in the process and is expected to pick up some momentum this afternoon as the Ocean winds blow from the South.

70 homes have been destroyed, with another 100 badly damaged. The majority of the home destruction is in a large neighborhood near North Myrtle Beach in the Barefoot Resort area. At the present time the fire is only about 40% contained but has not spread to new areas because the late afternoon winds of yesterday caused the fire to turn back on itself and last night the winds were calming thus preventing the spread to new areas. 2500 residents have been evacuated and are staying in free hotel rooms or shelters.

Winds are expected to pick up to 15 to 20 miles per hour blowing in off the Ocean this afternoon so that could change quickly as fire fighters continue to battle the inferno. Horry County Emergency Management is stating that it is likely to be three to four days before the tireless efforts of fire fighters assisted by air support with Bambi buckets from the South Carolina National Guard can bring the fire under control.

The largest fire in South Carolina history consumed 30, 000 acres in 1976 and was located in the Myrtle Beach area also. This is thus far the second largest and has the capability of surpassing the State record before all is over. Thick dense smoke covers the Northern half of the County which, if looking on the map, is the entire Southeast corner of the State. Thick smoke also extends several miles into neighboring Brunswick County in North Carolina. The smell of smoke is evident everywhere in the area.

It looks to be an eventful weekend around here especially with the weather predicted to be dry, warm and sunny the Beach goers will be driving in for a weekend stay along the Grand Strand. This trip for those who travel to Myrtle Beach regularly will be a bit unusual as the horizon looking from the beach will be smoke rather than the sunny blue skies usually seen when looking inland from the Coast.

Once again, thank you from Oliver and myself for your expression of concern on our behalf. Please remember those who have lost so much as a result of this massive wildfire and those who are still in harms way. Also remember the brave men and women who are tirelessly combating this blaze as they struggle to protect resident from the destructive force of fire.

Detroit police Officer Leon Rahmaan says the 57-year-old woman apparently looked out her window Tuesday when one of three men fired the shot.

He says the slug smashed through her window pane before hitting the bra's underwire. It did not penetrate her skin. Police say she may have gone to the window after a burglar alarm at the house next door sounded. Her neighbor was not at home at the time.

Hawaii's rate of 6.6 percent was lower than the national average of 9.4 percent, according to a study to be published in the June issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. South Dakota and Nebraska were among the lowest, while Kentucky was the most stressed state at 14.4 percent, the report said.

National Geodetic Survey officials say the Four Corners marker showing the intersection of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah is about 2.5 miles west of where it should be.

The only place in the United States where four state boundaries come together was first surveyed by the government in 1868 during the initial survey of Colorado's southern boundary. The survey was inaccurate. Officials said Monday the accurate location lies to the east of U.S. 160 in Colorado and northeast of the San Juan River as it flows into New Mexico.

OBAMA APPROVES BUSH WITCH HUNT BY PASSING THE BUCK TO HOLDER

It has become quite obvious that the release of the secret memos which revealed enhanced interrogation techniques that the left calls torture was a move by Barack Obama to start the witch hunt of members of the Bush administration. Allowing by Presidential approval the hunt that liberals in Congress have been trying to get started for several years.

Obama has gone out of his way to look as if he wants nothing to do with the witch hunt and that he is innocent of spear heading it by trips to the CIA headquarters claiming support for what the Agency is doing. And also stating that agents who performed the interrogations will not be investigated or prosecuted.

But because of the well known unpopularity by the majority of Americans for the witch hunt that the left has longed for toward Bush and his administration, Obama passed the buck for the, "decision," as to whether the investigation would proceed with Bush officials to Attorney General Eric Holder. What he did not say is that the decision was already made for the witch hunt to proceed and the HE was the one who made the decision by the release of the memos.

This move to release the memos which weakens the country and destroyed intelligence gathering, was a move by Obama to appease his far left supporters and his own personal leftist agenda and give the go ahead for both the Justice Department and Congress to start the witch hunt that the left has wanted for years.

All the while knowing that no evidence of wrong doing or illegal activity is found in the way and the manner in which the intelligence was gathered. But this move opens the door for the flood gate of attacks against Bush as well as satisfying those over seas who have be whining about our country for years. Nations who will NEVER be satisfied with anything that The United States does but that Obama has chosen to bow to and appease as evidenced by his apology tour of Europe and Latin America.

In satisfying the leftists including himself, Obama is weakening our Nation as well as emboldening our enemies through the release of the memos especially without releasing the overwhelming evidence of the attacks that were thwarted and the thousand of American and Ally lives that were saved from the intelligence gathered by enhanced techniques. Techniques that do not match the definition of torture. If that were the case then former VP Al Gore tortured himself when he was running for President as he deprived himself of sleep for 72 hours to campaign around the clock. A technique that was used in intelligence gathering and Obama and clan consider torture.

Additionally Obama flat our lied when the memos were released when he said that the use of the techniques did not protect America or make us more secure. When in one of the very memos released, which he obviously as usual DID NOT READ, stated in one of the few results that were not blacked out, that information acquired through water boarding of Khalid Sheik Mohammed who had refused to talk BEFORE the technique, was directly responsible for stopping a planned attack which would have taken out the largest building in Los Angeles in the same way as The World Trade Center.

The timing of the release of the memos combined with the visit to CIA headquarters and the passing of the buck to Holder for the pursuit and witch hunt that will follow makes it obvious that this move was designed to allow the left the satisfaction of investigating Bush and his administration with Presidential approval to create unwarranted and unnecessary hearings, subpoenas, MSM feeding frenzies and false and shameless accusations of men and women who sacrificed from Bush on down the line to protect this Nation.

All the while Obama looks like an innocent bystander who in actuality is the spearhead and instigator of the witch hunt. Sacrificing the safety and security of the country, appeasing our detractors and enemies for the specific purpose of satisfying a long standing leftist agenda and increasing his personal personal popularity with his left wing supporters.

TEA PARTY MOVEMENT IS REAL

For those who still insist that the Tea Party Movement is nothing more than right wing extremist rednecks who are only expressing their racists views and because they dare to stand against an oppressive government and are unpatriotic, think again.

According to a new Rasmussen poll, those favoring the reasons for the Tea Parties are the MAJORITY in The United States. The Rasmussen poll sites 51% of Americans are favorable to the Tea Parties with 32% showing very favorable toward the movement. Only 33% according to the poll were unfavorable.

David Axelrod a top Obama advisor stated Sunday that the Tea Party Movement was , "unhealthy," for America. This opinion coincides with the poll showing that only 18% of the, "political class," had a favorable opinion of the Tea Parties and a full 81% of the same class had an unfavorable opinion. Considering that the Movement stands against what the political class is doing in Washington it is no wonder that they find it unfavorable because their political well being is at stake as the people are rising against them.

To David Axelrod who spoke Sunday as a representative of the Obama administration I ask this. Since when is it unhealthy for Americans to stand for our Constitution ? Since when is it unhealthy for Americans to fulfil our Constitutional responsibility as citizens and hold our government accountable for what they are doing. Since when is it unhealthy for the people to demand that Washington listen to the will of the people which is what our Founders intended as the way and form in which this free Nation should operate ?

The Rasmussen poll further displays the true support for the Tea Party cause by showing that 58% of Americans are following stories about the Tea Parties and the resulting discussion with 32% following very closely. Only41% stated that they were not following the Tea Party reports.

For those who have tried to claim that this movement is run by and consisting of only those affiliated with the GOP, the Rasmussen poll states that 47% of Democrats and 50% of those who claim no party affiliation have been following events surrounding the Tea Parties. With a full 54% of mainstream Democrats showing a favorable opinion of the Tea Parties. Those who claim a GOP affiliation show an 83% favorability.

The above video which is also located and will stay at the top of this site for all to listen to, expresses the cause and the reality of what is taking place through this movement and the strength of the people who are fed up with government and with the continual intervention against our freedoms and prosperity by an ever growing federal monstrosity.

The people are finally understanding that we are the Constitutional power in this country and for this Nation to be free and to continue to stay the light of hope and freedom both here and abroad than it is our responsibility to take back our government and to make them fully accountable to we the people.

Take a stand today. We do not need to nor can we wait for a voter revolution in 2010. Many claim that because Barack Obama's popularity numbers still hover in the upper 50's that this is a sign that the majority of Americans favor what he and Washington are doing. 51% support the Tea Party opposition to Washington while 59% of Americans believe that the current policy is taking the country in the wrong direction with 54% believing that the government is doing to much to," help," the economy. Those numbers speak more truth than a Presidential popularity poll.

So the time is now to stand against Washington and current policy. We can make a difference if we by shier numbers flood Washington especially through the House of Representatives with our anger and frustration. They may ignore by stating that we need to contact the Representative from our District. But by contacting every Congress person we make them stand up and take notice collectively because it is then they will understand that the people are fed up.

It is then that they will understand that their political livelihood is at stake and it is then that they will understand that they must and will listen to we the people. Stand and fight, protest as we did last Wednesday but enforce that protest with your voice expressed through phone calls, emails and yes even hand written letters to Washington, flooding the Capitol with our grievances and forcing, by our numbers, those we have hired to listen to the will of the people!

OBAMA AND THE LEFT'S REAL CONCERN ABOUT THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT

We were called insignificant. The MSM and cable news, other than Fox, went out of their way to degrade, insult and create a picture of the Tea Parties as gatherings of ,"white racists," and brainless extremists who know nothing and were organized and paid for by the rich who are, "finally," getting their just reward by Obama's tax agenda.

Democrat leaders in Congress claimed that the rich paid for and organized by force this gathering last Wednesday. They claimed it was ,"shameful," and, "despicable," because the protest was against the massive deficit and spending agenda being forced upon America by Barack Obama and the liberals who run Congress.

The media and the left quickly jumped on a report that stated that 250,000 was the ,"pitiful," number of people nationwide who attended the Tea Parties. They neglected to report that this number was from less than half of the Tea Parties and when the nearly 900 that actually occurred across the Nation are counted the number is closer to 750 to 800,000.

Fox News was attacked as an ,"extremist right wing," conservatives only news outlet because only Fox understood the true significance of the rallies and chose to report it as the real news that it was throughout the day. Yet the ratings prove that the Fox coverage was not only justified but expressed the real interest and support by the public as Fox ratings destroyed all other outlets on April 15.

The left in their degrading of the Tea Parties have shown their actual concern over the protests. You don't attack something that you are not afraid of. The attacks by the left and the MSM bordered on insanity with the accusations and the insults that were directed at the Tea Parties and the overboard attempt to try and pass them off as only a gathering of ,"right wing racists."

First the true significance of the Tea Parties and why they truly scare the left comes from understanding the difference between this movement and the anti-war protests or other left leaning gatherings that have taken place. Liberals for the most part are followers. There are some exceptions but as a whole when one liberal gathers for a cause the rest of the sheep will follow.

Second, it is widely known that many liberals are protesters by profession. ACORN and other liberal groups when organizing protests actually pay expenses and sometimes even salaries to those who protest for whatever leftists cause that is on the menu for any particular day. And the protests are organized and financed by well known left leaning groups like ACORN, Code Pink, Move On .org or other less famous but equally left leaning.

The Tea Parties are a grass roots movement of everyday Americans who for the most part embrace the more conservative values. The movement crosses all party lines and where the real significance is found rests in the fact that we are not followers but individualists who seldom if at all participate in gatherings to protest or anything else for that matter.

Unlike liberal sheep it takes a great deal to move us to gather and stand en mass for anything. We would rather use our time pursuing our daily activities and embrace our beliefs in a private way or discuss them with only close friends and family.

For 750,000or more conservatives to gather for anything en mass as happened on April 15 is extremely significant because if underlines the real and true anger that is brewing against the government and the agenda that is being pushed in Washington. This anger did not start with Barack Obama. In fact it has been brewing for years. Obama's excessive policy became the catalyst that prompted us to finally move in a way we have considered for years.

When adding the numbers that Fox News had on Wednesday, which totaled almost 4 million each for the top two news commentary shows that covered the Tea Parties live and nearly 3 million each for the next tier, all of which more than tripled the closest competitor for Prime Time news coverage, the interest and true strength of the Tea Party movement becomes obvious.

This is not just against taxation. We, as with most Americans do not mind paying our fair share. This is actually a long overdue stand by everyday Americans who are fed up with big government, excessive spending, massive deficits and Representative who are more interested in satisfying themselves and lobby's than the people who put them in office.

We are tired of government telling us what to do rather than the true Constitutional principle of government being fully accountable to a following the will of the people. We are tired of our founding Constitutional principles of limited government and no government intrusion in our freedoms and everyday lives being ignored and the Constitution itself being disregarded and the rule of law found within ignored and broken by an overbearing and abusive federal government.

We are tired of politicians who have forgotten that they work for us and only see the American people as an after thought to their lust for power and control of our money and the way that we choose to live our lives. If any of this is right wing extremism then so be it because it is the true essence of who we truly are as a people and what the Founders envisioned for freedom and liberty in America.

Had Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, Paine, even Lincoln and Reagan been alive today they would have been standing with us on April 15. Standing for the Constitution and against excessive, obtrusive and ever expanding government. Standing against professional politicians who care little or not at all about the will of the people but drool with lust for power over those same people.

This is why the left is scared by what happened on April 15 and are attacking it as they are. This is why behind the scenes in those corners of Washington that never face a camera where hushed discussion takes place and real concern is expressed, those in the halls of Congress and the White House are watching this movement with great concern and anxiousness because they understand that the people are moving and that when we move the true power of this Nation is truly displayed and the elitist in Washington will be trampled in the onslaught.

This was not a one day event. But a true grassroots movement of and by the people that will continue to grow and whose numbers will continue to rise as more Americans come to realize as we have that ,"we the people," is not just a poetic phrase in our Constitution but the real strength and essence of who we are as a Nation. That government must bow to the will of the people or face the consequences of angry Americans who are willing to fight for what we believe, stand for freedom and defend by our voice and our vote the Constitution of The United States especially when those who have taken an oath to defend the same have forsaken that sacred oath and trust.

OBAMA'S HOMELAND SECURITY CHIEF CONSIDERS ME A TERRORIST

In a report that was never supposed to seen by the public Janet Napalitono, the secretary of Homeland Security, read ate her own admission and signed off on a report declaring that members of the United States Military who return home from defending this country needed to be watched because the were vulnerable to becoming ,"right wing extremists," who like Timothy McVeigh could become a terrorist.

The report went on to say the same about , "right wingers," who stood in support of single issues like abortion or gun control AND Americans whose, "right wing," views were in opposition to the government. So in that light Napalitono sees each of us who came out in opposition to the government at Wednesdays Tea Parties as possible homeland terrorists. Which puts me on the list and I suppose since I spoke at our gathering I am even more dangerous.

The insult and lame apology to the members of our military is the most alarming part of this ridiculous and bigoted report which is stereo typing soldiers in Napalitano's belief that all members of the military are like McVeigh who was behind the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing.

He contention that people who support the Constitutional right to bear arms are dangerous and will use that right to create domestic terrorism is as asinine as her being appointed and confirmed as Homeland Security Secretary. Americans who tale a stance on single issues like abortion in her eyes are all potentially clinic bombers. Americans who exercise the right of Free Speech to protest out of control spending are dangerous and, "right wing extremists."

In her simple and insane mind disagreeing with her boss and their liberal agenda makes a free American a danger and a terrorist. This is a Secretary who should never have been appointed and now that she issues a report targeting military personnel and free Americans who believe in free speech but disagree with her as terrorists, this Secretary should resign or better yet be booted out of office.

Are we looking at a repeat of Germany in the early 1930's where dissent was considered a crime and embracing freedom an act considered making one an enemy of the State? What's next concentration camps for , "right wingers ?" Janet Napalitano your apology in NOT accepted and it is you who are the danger to America, our freedoms and the liberty to stand for what we believe and make our voice heard in a free society.

TEA PARTY IN MYRTLE BEACH SC A PATRIOTIC SUCCESS

Nearly 3000 Americans fed up with government, out of control spending, bailouts, and the socialistic agenda of the Obama administration gathered in Chapin Park in central Myrtle Beach, SC beginning at noon and lasting until 2:30 to tell Washington that we are taking our country back !

The day was overcast, in fact rain was coming down as late as 11:45 prior to the beginning of the Myrtle Beach Tea Party but as the party began the sun broke through the clouds and the rest of the afternoon was sunshine and patriotism. American flags and ,"Don't Tread On Me Flags, " flew in the breeze as speakers proclaimed that, "we the people," are tired of government control it is time for our voices to be heard.

Singing the National Anthem, God Bless America, God Bless The USA and The Battle Hymn Of The Republic the revolution has begun through this and 925 confirmed Tea Parties taking place throughout the United States today. Today was the 2009 version of Lexington and Concord, "the shot heard round the world!"

The Liberal Lie was represented, in fact I had opportunity to speak to the gathered crowd during the program and it was a thrill to stand before so many like minded patriots who understand that we have a Constitutional responsibility as citizens to hold those in Washington accountable and that the true power of the Nation is not found at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue nor the Halls of Congress but in the people. At gatherings of Americans. In our living rooms and kitchens and it is we who tell Washington what to do not the other way around.

Reports are coming in from all over the country of thousands gathering all across the Nation letting Washington know that we will no longer just sit back and let them decide how we are to live and they can no longer abuse or threaten our freedom and liberties. This is just the beginning of the revolution to take back our government and force Washington to uphold their Constitutional responsibility to obey the will of the people.

If you were not able to attend a Tea Party today, you can still participate in the revolution by contacting every ,"Representative," in Washington and flooding their phone lines and e-mails with your disgust and anger at government take over, the march to socialism, excessive spending, bailouts and apologizing for the greatness of America.

Let them know it is time to return to the Constitutional principles that made our country free and the greatest Nation on the Earth. Let you voice be heard. Today was just the beginning of the revolution. We still have a fight ahead of us but together as Americans who understand that we the people are the lawful power in the Nation, we can and we will prevail in taking our country back!

STAR TREK MOVIE HAS EARLY PREMIER FOR TROOPS

I have been a Star Trek fan since the original series aired in 1966. I have all ten of the movies on DVD and am still a fan of the original series with Kirk, Spock , McCoy and the USS Enterprise whose five year mission began a bold trek that created a science fiction phenomenon.

This May Star Trek hits the big screen once again taking fans to a time chronologically before the setting of the original series with familiar names like James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock but new faces playing the characters as young men starting their career to, "boldly go where no man has gone before."

Whether a Star Trek fan or not an event took place last weekend on April 11 that would make anyone proud and wish for this movie to be a success. While on a pre-premier tour Director J.J. Abrams and the cast of the new movie took an unexpected stop in Kuwait visiting Camp Arijan, a US military base to premier the movie for the troops and spend the day visiting with our best and bravest.

Director J. J. Abrams stated, "It struck us that there was an opportunity to not just have it be about the movie, but to have it be about something that’s more important than all that stuff…It’s an honor to come here to say hi and shake hands with the people who protect us."

It is good to see that there are some in Hollywierd who not only respect what our troops do in defense of liberty and this Nation but are willing to show their appreciation through their talents and their time with this special premier and visit in Kuwait. As Bill O'Reilly would say J. J. Abrams and the cast of Star Trek are Patriots.

OBAMA NOT THE HERO IN PIRATE SAGA

Captain Phillips is rescued. Three pirates are dead and another is in custody. Three Navy Seals expertly and flawlessly performed their duty in rescuing Phillips. Barack Obama as Commander in Chief authorized the use of force, "if Phillips was in danger." So in liberal press accounts and commentary from liberal pundits who is the hero ? Barack Obama.

Giving credit where credit is due, Obama FINALLY made the right decision by authorizing force to end the situation, but his authorization was to long in coming and was a decision that he was legally bound to make because of the illegality of the hostage situation and the taking of an American citizen.

Granted it took 17 meetings and several days to make a decision that should have been made within a few hours of the arrival of the USS Bainbridge on the scene. If a quick and decisive decision authorizing force had been made in the first few hours the ,"crisis," would have been a quick headline rather than the dominant news for nearly one week.

Most liberal pundits are giving little credit to the true heroes in the situation. Captain Phillips who selflessly surrendered himself as a hostage to protect his ship and crew. A man who obviously refused to cooperate with the pirates after his taking as evidenced by the two times he dove from the boat and tried to swim to safety. Succeeding the second time because of the quick actions of the Navy Seal snipers.

The second group of heroes are the Seals whose expert marksmanship succeeded in taking out the pirates and also the crew of the USS Bainbridge whose calm and steadfast diligence to duty created the moment when the rescue was accomplished.

The delay in making the actual decision and then only if those on sight saw that Phillips was in ,"danger," created a media circus when quick action would have ended with similar results without making it look as if The United States was weak and could not take a stand against four armed gunman who happened to be pirates.

The opportunity to lead once again presented and continues to present itself to Barack Obama with the ongoing situation with the Somali pirates and the continued taking of ships along the African Coast. The opportunity to take out the ,"mother ship," where the pirates launch their boats from was available along with the rescue of Phillips. That opportunity now has passed.

Ships will continue to be taken and lives endangered until someone is willing to lead. Other countries involved have only been willing to pay ransoms or allow their ships to remain hostage to these thugs. Obviously now that the US almost reluctantly because of the long hesitation in authorizing force by Obama, but none the less we did take a stand which now gives us the opportunity to lead and end the pirate threat.

But Obama seems to be more willing to use his momentary ,"hero," status for making a necessary but delayed decision, as a means to continue to push his socialist agenda rather than using the rescue as the catalyst to leading the world and by force ending the pirate threat.

So again we come back to the nitty gritty of his decision. He was compelled to make it, though late in the game, by the legality of protecting an American citizen. And the poll numbers showed that the embarrassment of four machine gun laden thugs holding off the US Navy looked bad for his image.

To the liberal media Obama comes out looking like a hero. To his Washington cronies he provides a momentary reason to crow about the perceived strength of their new young President, who has now been, "tested," with a, "crisis." And he has a brief window of renewed political clout to parlay the incident into further passage of his agenda.

Meanwhile the Navy Seals and The USS Bainbridge continue to selflessly protect the seas for our Nation without fanfare. Captain Phillips returns home to the loving arms of his family who will always know that he is a hero. And the crew of the Maersk Alabama, who refused to surrender their ship return to their home port, heroes to their peers and admired by their families. While Obama takes the credit for a job well done by the real heroes.

AN EASTER MESSAGE OF REAL HOPE AND CHANGE - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

This year has brought a great deal of change to our Nation. A new President is in office whose platform promised, "hope and change." To some that promise has been welcomed, to many like myself, that promise has brought frustration and aggravation as the change is taking our Nation down a path I believe is contrary to the Constitution and the principles on which our country was founded. But this ," hope and change," is for another post. For there is One whose message of ,"hope and change," truly changed the World and the lives of everyone since.

More than 2000 years ago a, " Man, " came to this Earth with a message of , "hope, " and , "change, " that even during His time on this planet sparked controversy and even political discord between the ruling Empire of Rome and their conquered land of Judea people found in that land. This, "Man, " brought with Him a message that has lasted through the ages. A Message that speaks to all mankind of , "hope, " for the hopeless and , "change, " even for the vilest of people.

His was not a message that was given for political gain. Nor was it shared to bring fame and position for Himself. His message was shared for the most selfless of motives....love. The message of hope and change that was shared with this World by this , "Man, " came from the Creator of all men though the life, death and Resurrection of our Creators Son. It was and still is a message of hope and change given only from pure , sacrificial and true love with its only reward for that love being the salvation of the World and the redemption of man.

This, "Man, " delivered His message of hope and change and it was received by many and rejected by many. A situation that this eternal message still finds in the World today more than 2000 years later. While He walked this Earth, this, "Man, " selflessly gave not only His message but Himself in order to insure that His selfless message of love would BE eternal. His reward for sharing this selfless message of hope and change was to face the cruelest of deaths that a cruel world has ever devised, nailed to a cross.

But He did not face this death forcibly. No He faced it willingly and lovingly because He knew that the only way to insure that His message of hope and change would last for all mankind was by giving His life in exchange for those to whom He was giving this loving message. It was for this that He came and it was for this that He died.

But this message of hope and change does not end there. No it ends, nay I should say actually begins with an empty tomb. For His message of hope and change shines from that empty tomb for all mankind that came before His time on earth, those to whom He personal delivered the message and we who have followed in the last 2000 years. His sacrifice for giving this message on the cruel cross when one believes in that message of love that He gave from that cross can provide anyone from any walk of live, whether good or bad, vial or moral, change that will reshape that individual and reconcile them with a loving God who sent this , "Man, " for them.

The empty tomb that He left as He resurrected from the death on that cruel cross, provides hope that there is more to life than misery and woe but salvation that brings life eternal through the sacrifice, and resurrection of this, "Man, " who God our Creator called Son and in whom all things are possible.

As we each celebrate this Easter season, remember that true hope and change comes from the love that was shared with each of us from a cross to a empty tomb and life springs eternal for everyone because of the Christ who came and shared the real and loving message of hope and change. Happy Easter to all.

Worthy is the Lamb

He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:3-5 ESV)

For this He came. A sacrifice for the sins of all. On the third day he rose from the grave defeating death so that though Him we could have eternal life.

Have a blessed Good Friday in remembrance for unconditional love for us all.

THE LIBERAL LIE CARTOON GALLERY AND YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

He failed to get NATO help in Afghanistan and he failed with the G20. But the Obamamedia called it a success. Well he did succeed in blaming America for Europe's problems. He did succeed in insulting every American with his arrogance speech. And he did succeed in being subservient to Saudi King Abdullah and in giving the Queen a stupid gift.






YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - A fledgling Arkansas church will see if distilled spirits can mix with the Holy Spirit this Easter weekend. A Little Rock church called The River will hold both of its Easter services at The Rev Room, a bar and nightclub in the city’s River Market.

Pastor Shane Montgomery told KLRT-TV that it’s an effort to attract a new audience to his nondenominational ministry.

Makes you wonder what will be in the Easter Eggs and the Communion cups. - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up








Obama's , "vision," and revision of history. I guess this is part of what he meant about the flaws in the Constitution.







YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - CINCINNATI — "Bailout" was the magic word as Domino's had to give away thousands of free pizzas because someone stumbled on an online promotion the company scrapped. Domino's Pizza Inc. spokesman Tim McIntyre said Wednesday that the company prepared an Internet coupon for an ad campaign that was considered in December but not approved.


He says someone apparently typed "bailout" into a Domino's promo code window and found it was good for a free medium pizza. Word about the code spread quickly Monday night on the Web and 11,000 free pizzas were delivered before it was deactivated Tuesday morning. Cincinnati-area franchise owner John Glass says his 14 stores gave away more than 600 pies, but that Domino's promised to reimburse him.

At least this was a , "stimulus," that actually had benefits ! - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up









Obama's fantasy idea about Nukes reminds me of a bumper sticker I have read concerning the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns." Same application especially when considering Iran, North Korea and yes even Russia.







YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - BOSTON — A JetBlue employee says he took a free flight from New York to Boston — after falling asleep in a plane's cargo bin. The man was discovered by baggage handlers at Logan International Airport after the plane landed there Saturday. He told police he'd been accidentally locked inside the pressurized luggage compartment while taking a nap.


The 21-year-old man says he called JetBlue Airways officials when he realized he was no longer on the ground. A state police spokesman says the man wasn't charged with any crime and was returned to New York when it was determined he wasn't dangerous.

I'll bet this guy is one of those who can sleep anywhere and anytime at the drop of a hat - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

BARACK OBAMA RECIEVES A LESSON FROM RONALD REAGAN

It constantly amazes me how much of the wisdom and leadership of President Reagan applies so directly to the situation we face today under Barack Obama.

When elected to office Reagan faced similar problems that were left behind by Jimmy Carter and faced them with strength and a moral clarity that we have not seen since.

His lessons on government and patriotism are as strong and appropriate today as they were more than 20 years ago. His message is as inspiring and true today as it was then. And the lessons that he gave if applied would work as powerfully today as they did then.

Barack Obama would do well to listen to the wisdom of Ronald Reagan. But then he would have to set aside his goal of government control, one world order and his American socialism agenda to do so.

Looking out for the good of the country and the people rather than the arrogance and popularity of Barack Obama. Abandoning his unconstitutional agenda and following the strong and true principles of our Founders as Reagan did is a feat that even Obama's TelePrompter could not coax him into doing.

BARACK OBAMA IS THE SHAME NOT AMERICA

The first world tour of Barack Obama is finally coming to a close. A trip that saw a United States President surrender US sovereignty to European countries as he sought to create his New World Order. A trip that saw that same President tell countries who owe their very existence to the sacrifice of America and Americans that Obama chose to insult rather than express pride in our great land.

He called America and Americans arrogant. He in essence apologized to Europeans because we are strong and successful. He bowed before the alter of European socialism and embarrassed our people and our Nation. The liberal press and his blame America first administration played the spin game and claimed that this embarrassment was a success and that Obama continued his rock star status in Europe at the expense of the country.

Well Mr. Obama since you see fit to apologize to Europe, then let me give you some historical examples of American, "arrogance," that made not only your trip but a free Europe possible.

Let's look at the arrogance of Sargent Alvin York who single handily saved the lives of his fellow soldiers while capturing more than 130 enemy German soldiers who were firing on British soldiers that owed their life to the heroism of Sargent York.

Or the arrogance of the American Expeditionary Force whose entrance in WWI was the turning point that eventually brought an end to the seemingly never ending trench warfare that stretched throughout Europe providing victory and freedom to the countries that Obama now deems deserving of a Presidential apology.

Would France even exist if thousands of American had not shed their precious blood on the beaches of Normandy ? Apologize for that arrogance Mr. Obama. Would Italy be a free nation if not for the arrogance of American soldiers on the island of Sicily or Anzio driving Black Shirt Mussolini fascists and Nazis from the Italian boot. Apologize for that arrogance Mr. Obama.

Apologize for the nearly 3000 villages and towns that were arrogantly liberated by General George S. Patton's Third Army as it raced across Europe defeating Nazism and greatly contributing to the eventual freedom of Europe from the oppression of Hitler's Germany.

Apologize for the forty years of arrogant American protection to a Europe who shook in fear of Soviet expansionism and the oppressive boot of Soviet Communism that threatened the entire Continent for decades. Decades that saw only The United States standing between a free Europe and total Soviet domination. Apologize for that Mr. Obama.

Mr. Obama your apology and claims of American arrogance are an insult to every American soul whose blood was spent to make Europe free. Every cross or star that stands in constant watch over the graves of brave Americans who sacrificed their all to make Europe free scoff at your insulting apologies for American arrogance.

Every veteran who left the shores of America to fight for liberties cause in driving fascism out of Europe demands YOUR apology to them for the insult that you made to the bravery and heroism they displayed as they fought and died for freedom.

The truth is Mr. Obama is that the arrogance is not found in America or Americans but in your disgusting attempt to apologize for what needs no apology. Your arrogance in blaming America first and in using your arrogance sacrificing our sovereignty and national pride to impress your socialist friends and surround yourself with a self aggrandizing praise from those same friends. YOU are the shame Mr. Obama NOT America.

OBAMA E. NEWMAN'S, "WHAT ME WORRY," APPROACH TO FOREIGN AFFAIRS - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

As a young teenager I was an avid reader of , "Mad Magazine." I always got a kick out of the ,"Spy vs Spy," capers and the parody's of movies. Alfred E. Newman's face on the cover with his almost iconic slogan, "what me worry," was always the quick notice that made Mad stand out on the news stand when I would head to the store for my monthly purchase.

Now we have another Alfred E. Newman making his way to the news stands, only this time his ,"what me worry," attitude is not a joke or a funny line on a sarcastic magazine. This ," what me worry," Newman happens to be the President of The United States and his attitude spells danger and appeasement toward terrorism, Iran and North Korea.

With the launch of a multi stage missile by North Korea and the weak response by Obama we once again are reminded that this President is full of eloquent words with little or no action to back those words, except in the case of creating huge deficits and massive socialist spending.

Now don't get me wrong, the response to North Korea through ignored sanctions and veiled threats has been weak for many years. But Obama's response in high sounding fantasies of ridding the world of nuclear weapons which depends on trusting countries like Russia who have never been very trust worthy and have already threatened to rebuild their nuclear arsenal, is the epitome of weakness.

I am sure that Kim Jong il, if healthy enough to do so was shaking in his boots, but with laughter and not fear when Obama asked him not to launch a missile which was clearly on the launch pad for several days begging to be taken out before launch. The, "Dear Leader," was scoffing at the world while the world just sat back a watched.

Obama wants to be a world leader and had a perfect opportunity to do so and chose rather to insult our own country before European Nations with embarrassing gifts, bows to the Saudi King and speeches that condemned The United States and begged Europe to be our friend. A Continent that has been at odds with our country since our birth. Even when fighting wars together Europe complained about how we were liberating them from Fascism.

So how does Obama think that falling down and verbally kissing their back side calling America arrogant is going to change nearly 300 years of history that has always had Europe complaining about what America does ? So Obama E. Newman says to the world, "what me worry." After all he is popular with the Europeans and is best comrades with the Russian President, in pictures making child like gestures and laughing like all is well in Obamaland.

He laughs at the state of the economy calling it, "gallows humor," gives the Queen a selection of Obama's greatest hits on an iPod and walks around acting like a tourist, while his PR gang claims he saved the G20 meetings by suggesting that everyone do nothing and only acknowledge what is happening.

His Secretary of States is telling Mexico that we are the reason that they cannot control their internal security problems. She is also treating the soon to be nuclear Iran as the new best buddy inviting them to summit meetings on the future of Afghanistan. A War we are fighting to defeat the very Islamic fanaticism that drives Iranian leaders to support terrorism and terrorist regimes including themselves.

Newt Gingrich suggested several ways that The United States could have prevented the North Korean launch which would have finally put action behind words. Action ranging from electromagnetic pulses to other non-conventional means which are available to disable a missile launch without having to actually attack North Korea. Obama would not even respond with the capability of shooting down the missile as has been done past. The last launch failed on its own before Naval Vessels placed in Sea of Japan by President Bush had the opportunity to knock the missile down.

Obama's response was wait and see and then talk about nuclear disarmament fantasies. On the terrorist front the words, "war on terror," are no longer allowed. Terrorist are being considered for welfare programs after being released from GITMO. And Obama thinks that he can find a,
"moderate," member of the Taliban to negotiate with. The difference between a moderate and a radical is that a radical slits your throat and moderates just hang you. The result is still the same. In fact the Taliban scoffed at the gesture, which again proves their true intent of murder and death.

Terrorism under Obama has once again become a crime rather than an act of war. Terrorists face indictments rather than elimination. Terrorist regimes like Iran are considered new found buddies rather than evil entities. Russia while warning of nuclear escalation is Obama's new comrade. North Korea is just a small land to far for Obamasan to think about. And Obama looks at the world through his rose colored TelePrompter and says, "what me worry ?"
