The Truth Hurts...

One of my good friends who is a liberal, asked me if I was going to buy into the Sarah Palin pick and spread the word. He told me that my future relationship with him depended on my response.

I replied to him with this question…”Who has more executive experience, Barak or Sarah?”

His response “That is what Hannity says so I knew you would follow suit. Wouldn't that also give her more experience than the top of your ticket?”

He then said that due to my response (one sentence), “ We are done…”

I tell you that so I can share with you my response to him…

You did not answer the question. Who has more executive experience, Barak or Sarah?

It hurts to answer, doesn't it? It is very hard to answer this question for you. The truth of this question hurts you.

Sarah might just be the female version of Clarence Thomas.

The liberals hate her because she is a successful, self made, hard working woman who became governor of a state without the need to play the victim or the need for help from a feminist organization.

She did it on her own and that scares the hell out of the democrats. She really shows that a woman can be somebody.

And the best part is, she reminds most Americans in battleground stats of their mom, sister, friend or themselves. She relates to real Americans. She is not an iconic ideal. She is not full of hope. She is the answer to hope...she is action. She is all about taking responsibility for the course of one's life and doing something with it. She is not waiting around hoping for someone to do it for her. She is doing it.

And this scares the democrats so....

If the American people realize they don't need someone doing everything for them to succeed, they just might learn how to succeed on their own. And if that happens, the democrats are going to be hoping they survive as a party....

Oh and by the way, Palin is a working mother of five, her husband works on an oil rig and is a champion snowmobile racer, and she loves to fish and hunt.

Plus she can field dress a moose. (Nod to Fred Thompson)

And she's just our VP nominee. She really fits as a VP candidate. (Obama might have fared better as a VP candidate)

Our Presidential nominee stacks up pretty well too..

I think we can agree to disagree on the issue of Palin. I think Barak has a good shot of becoming president. But the coronation is on hold now since Palin, like her or not, has electrified the base, exposed the media bias toward Obama, and has put the election into a true race.

Can't we all just get along?

We will see what my friend says.

Pelosi, there you go again...

This picture shows why the Democrats are really not on our side. I think it speaks volumes.

Yes, she was going into a mosque. Yes, she was a guest of Syria. Yes, you could say she was being diplomatic. There is a lot to be said for respecting another's culture in their lands.

There is, however, a tenant of liberal doctrine that she is breaking. Democrats preach tolerance and acceptance of other people's beliefs and their right to exist. They believe that others should be allowed to practice what they want with no fear of retribution or discrimination.

Unless you are in a country deemed a supporter of terrorism. Then, as Nancy Pelosi showed, you must give your rights to practice what you believe and bow to their intolerance.

She put on a scarf/hijab during parts of her trip to Syria as to conform to the Baathist regime and the Islamic elements. She conformed to them because they would be offended if she didn't. Why can't Nancy ask them to respect her position as an American woman and let her go without covering her head? Why not ask them to be tolerant? Why not ask them to be respectful of the office of the Speaker of the House???

Why? Because that is not why she is there. She is not there to fact find. She is there to show them solidarity in their struggle against W. She is there to reassure them that the US is on their way out of Iraq and the Syrians have nothing to worry about.

Look at this from Breitbart...

'Syria treated the visit as a diplomatic victory. State-run newspapers published news of Pelosi's trip on their front pages, with one daily publishing a photograph of Pelosi next to the headline: "Welcome Dialogue."
But there were some warnings against high expectations.
Syria's ambassador to the United States, Imad Moustapha, described the visit as a "positive step" but said "it does not necessarily mean that the Bush administration would suddenly change its position" from Syria.
In comments to the state-run Al-Thawra daily published Tuesday, he said the visit should be a "reminder that even though we might disagree on politics, we should remain diplomatically engaged in dialogue to reach some understandings."
Pelosi is traveling with a delegation of U.S. lawmakers, including the first Muslim member of Congress, Keith Ellison, D-Minn.
In Israel, Pelosi said she would tell Syrian leaders that Israel will talk peace with them only if Syria stops supporting Palestinian militants. She has said she will also talk to the Syrians about Iraq, their role in neighboring Lebanon and their support for Lebanon's Hezbollah militants. '

Pelosi went over there to say, 'We are with you. And soon, so will the new president. So just hold on. Help is on the way' I thought that only the president and his administration can conduct matters of foreign affairs.

These are just my thoughts on this, don't get me started on Pelosi and Reid's move to cut funding...

Stay Tuned

The Obama Trap – Part 1

There is something very interesting playing out on the democratic side of the 2008 race. Obama is running very early, Hillary is doing what she can to stay in front and someone who should be running isn’t. There is more to this than meets the eye I think. Let me walk you through it.

Hillary didn’t want to announce early. She wanted to keep her powder dry and her money in the bank. The sooner the race would start the worse off she would be. The longer the race the more money she would have to raise and spend. The more people get to know her, the more they dislike her for various reasons. That is why she kept her profile low in the senate and tried very hard to walk the moderate line. She would have been happy to wait till October, but someone had other plans.

Out of the blue, here comes Barak Obama. Here is a senator with 2 yrs experience, some state government experience, but still a really green politician. He is gifted and charismatic. He announces early and the anti-war liberals as well as the democrats looking for a Clinton alternative latch on. The Media goes wild for Obama and sets him up as the second coming of Bill Clinton.

This makes Hillary have to jump in early to stay the front-runner and keep her base. She didn’t want too but the longer she waited to announce, the closer Obama got. If she’s not the front-runner, she cannot hold on and win. Obama is a threat to her nomination. She has to put a stop to Obama’s rise. How does she do it? How do the Clintons’ deal with political opponents? They use personal attacks, the politics of personal destruction.

Clinton team quietly releases information about how Obama was a Muslim and schooled in a madrassa as a child (read about this here). The media debunks this claim relatively quickly. This event is a warning to Obama. Clinton’s team had fired a shot across the bow. ‘Don’t mess with us or we will destroy you politically.’ Obama moves back and takes the high ground, shrugging of the claims. This created a stalemate between the two that will eventually have to be broken. If Hillary slips in the polls more, it will force her team to really play hardball and attack Obama directly.

That is exactly what the architect of the Obama Trap is waiting for.
