Just a quick note

Some Democratic Obama thugs have tried kidnapping the comments sections on this blog and making wild UNTRUE accusations. Nope, not gonna happen here. I won't allow you creeps to capture my blog and publish your lies while claiming you're the saviors of the American people. SO I've turned off the "comments" part and anything that'll be posted has to get through me first. You Obama/Democrat goons have tried to blanket the internet with your vicious crap and we're all sick of it. I won't allow you to subvert my freedom to call you what you are ---vicious liars, goons, thugs, creeps, jerks, un-American pieces of crap. Try that someplace else where people are stupid enough to believe your propoganda. Not here---I have studied history, I know history, and I know the difference between opinion and strong arm tactics. Go someplace else where people aren't smart enough to see you for the douche-bags you are.

Gosh I love FactCheck.org

More Social Security Bunk

October 30, 2008

Democratic ads accuse Republican House and Senate candidates of wanting to gamble away Social Security.

Summary

Democrats celebrated Halloween early this year, trying to spook voters with the political boogeyman of risking Social Security in the stock market.

Since October 1, we have found 58 ads from Democrats and their allies attacking their Republican House and Senate opponents on the issue. They mislead in several ways:

• They say benefits would have been "risked in the stock market." While that's true for younger workers, current beneficiaries wouldn't have been eligible for private accounts under the plan President Bush supported.
  
  
• The ads often show images of casino gambling and imply that holders of private accounts could lose their entire retirement savings. In fact, the plan proposed in 2005 would have allowed investment only in very broadly diversified funds. A complete loss would be practically impossible.
  
  
• Some claim the opponent "voted for George Bush's plan to privatize Social Security." Actually, Bush's proposal was never submitted as a bill to Congress, and so there was no vote.

So Democrats lie in commercials.
Wow, I'll bet you're shocked !!!!!

A little break

I've taken a break from the blog to attend a funeral and honestly, to just get away from all the lies of the Obama campaign for a while. Here's just a few observations about the last week or so.

1. I'm SICK of the presidential campaign. 2 years is TOO MUCH.
   
2. I've voted already, as have many people. I voted for ONLY REPUBLICANS because I'm sick and tired of Democrats who lie, want to raise my taxes, and then LIE about raising my taxes.
3. If you're an undecided voter at this point in this election you must be an idiot or living in a cave.
   
4. While at Midway Airport on Sunday this young girl from Florida sat next to me, looked at the Chicago Tribune I was reading and saw a story about the presidential candidates. There was a picture of Sarah Palin. This IDIOT girl blurts out, "I hate her, I just hate her." Of course she had no reason why, she knew nothing about her and could not explain one reason for opening her big mouth in such a manner other than, "I'm a Democrat and this is my first time voting." Ya, that explains it. Visceral reactions like that are typical of idiots (new Democrats).
5. Coming back I was on a Southwest Airlines flight that had only 35 passengers. The airport was SLOW and this was EXTREMELY unusual. I've never been to that airport when it wasn't FULL of people.
   
6. There were almost no Obama signs where I was--I only saw one small Obama/Biden/UAW sign. Ya, smart for those UAW guys--Democrats support the "no private ballot" union proposal which would bolster union thuggery. So it's understandable why the UAW (the union for the "in the toilet" auto industry which is in the toilet partly because the union has helped jack up the price of American cars while still building an inferior product) supports Democrats. I did see a large McCain/Palin sign. Odd, around here there are tons of signs of all kinds.
7. On the shuttle bus back to my car I overheard (you couldn't help but overhear--the volume was on high) the African American driver's radio which was tuned into WVON or something like that. The commentators were talking about the election and how important it was to vote. Couldn't disagree with that, but the conversation went something like this: We need to call each other. If you haven't voted by nine, we'll remind you. If you haven't voted by noon, we'll remind you. If you haven't voted by 3 and you're still in bed we need to wake you and get you to the polls. HUH???? If you're not up by 3pm you are a lazy slug (unless you work the night shift). And then I heard this guy call in and say the only reason "our kids" will be alive and able to accomplish anything is because of Barack Obama. I had to control my laughter... And then they were talking about how some Republican candidate and his staff was personally trained by Karl Rove to make sure black people wouldn't vote. Folks, this stuff is scary because it's a PERFECT example of black racism. If anyone believes this CRAP they are INSANE, STUPID and not capable of making any intelligent decisions. If a white person had said anything like that they'd be publicly humiliated, but it's ok to say that stuff in the black community?????? Does anyone see the double standard????
8. I've been invited to election night doings but really don't want to go. I just want to see this whole election season OVER. I suspect other people feel the same way.
9. If anyone was stupid enough to watch the half hour No-bama infomerical they have WAY TOO MUCH time on their hands. They should probably go out and get a job.
10. If you were stupid enough to buy a ticket to the No-bama gala in Grant Park you are an idiot. I like what Carol Marin (Chgo. newswoman) said--not paying. I wonder how many gang shootings and other crimes there will be in Chicago that night.
11. In Chicago handguns are still outlawed and yet there is an ever increasing number of murders by handgun. Seems to me that criminals don't care about handgun laws, but maybe I just don't get the Daley logic. Blago wants to shut down Pontiac Prison---more prisons and prisoners in them might solve that "criminals commiting crimes" problem.
    

Ok, more comments on other stuff later.....

Obama's not truthful on taxes

At least there is ONE honest newsman

By Orson Scott Card

Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights?

Here's a sampling of this article:

"If you at our local daily newspaper continue to let Americans believe --and vote as if -- President Bush and the Republicans caused the crisis, then you are joining in that lie.

If you do not tell the truth about the Democrats -- including Barack Obama -- and do so with the same energy you would use if the miscreants were Republicans -- then you are not journalists by any standard.

You're just the public relations machine of the Democratic Party, and it's time you were all fired and real journalists brought in, so that we can actually have a daily newspaper in our city."

READ THIS STORY

Watch Jim Oberweis crush Bill Foster

Foster is just not up to the task of being a Congressman, and this video from Chicago Tonight proves it. If you missed it read the story below from the Illinois Review....you'll see why Oberweis is the clear choice for the voters in our district.


Oberweis on Chicago Tonight
From Illinois Review:
"Jim Oberweis crushed Congressman Foster in this forum. He had a clear command of the bailout issue and held his ground in a fashion we need from our representatives. Here are a few of the exchanges I found most interesting:

1) Foster admits the bailout bill was loaded with pork but "as a freshman Congressman" was not in a position to stand up and fight for the right bill. Basically, he let other Senators and Congressman hold he and the American taxpayers hostage while they pass their pork-laden bill. Nice work Congressman. Not only have you proved yourself to be a politician, but you have proved you are a weak one at that. Sorry, but I want someone to jealously and firmly represent my family's best interest "freshman" or not.

2) Foster admits the poor economy has not affected him. Well, isn't that nice for he and his family. Jim however, explained specifically how this economy has hurt the expansion of his own business and others like his due to banks severely tightening their belts. Congressman, since you seem to have no financial worries how about you take your own money and redistribute to those less fortunate versus taking more from me? Clearly you can afford it. Oh that's right. Democrats like to spend other people's money. Not their own.

3) Before you cite examples of technology growth in cities such as Lisle and Naperville maybe you should confirm they are actually in your district. I was not aware we annexed Naperville."

Unfortunately I was just subjected to a Bill Foster commercial on our local ABC station. Wow, this guy has cahones--his commercial is one lie after another--lower taxes, government restraint--then why is he supporting the Democrats who are calling for HIGHER taxes and MORE government???? This guy needs to be un-elected. PLEASE vote for Oberweis.

Obama Ignores Credit Card Donation Fraud

I'll bet you're shocked that Obama has raised TONS of money through phony donors.

"What do Bart Simpson, Family Guy, Daffy Duck, King Kong, O.J. Simpson and Raela Odinga have in common?

All are celebrities; and with the exception of Odinga and O.J. Simpson, they also are fictional characters. And yet, all of them gave money earlier this month to the campaign of Barack Obama, without any apparent effort by the campaign to screen them out as suspect donors.

The Obama fundraising machine may owe its sensational success in part to a relaxation of standard online merchant security practices, which has allowed illegal donations from foreign donors and from unknown individuals using anonymous “gift” cards, industry analysts and a confidential informant tell Newsmax."

No wonder he doesn't need "public financing." He's cheating the system....

Obama Campaign Runs Afoul of Finance Rules

Obama ='s Socialism

You know that, you believe it, and NOW FINALLY John McCain has said it.

McCain suggests Obama tax policies are socialist

"At least in Europe, the Socialist leaders who so admire my opponent are upfront about their objectives," McCain said in a radio address. "They use real numbers and honest language. And we should demand equal candor from Sen. Obama. Raising taxes on some in order to give checks to others is not a tax cut; it's just another government giveaway."

"In other words, Barack Obama's tax plan would convert the IRS into a giant welfare agency, redistributing massive amounts of wealth at the direction of politicians in Washington," McCain said in the radio address.

Laura Ingraham called it years ago

Colin Powell is bad for the GOP

From "The Politico"

Limbaugh: Where are the inexperienced, white liberals Powell has endorsed?

Rush Limbaugh said Colin Powell's decision to get behind Barack Obama appeared to be very much tied to Obama's status as the first African-American with a chance to become president.

"Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race," Limbaugh wrote in an e-mail. "OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with."

As for Powell's statement of concern this morning about the sort of Supreme Court justices a President McCain might appoint, Limbaugh wrote: "I was also unaware of his dislike for John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia. I guess he also regrets Reagan and Bush making him a four-star [general] and secretary of state and appointing his son to head the FCC. Yes, let's hear it for transformational figures."

I'll say it--and you know you're thinking it: Colin Powell is a LIAR. Of course it's about race.

I love to meet people

I stopped at a SuperWalmart today to do some shopping and met a husband and wife who were retired and on their way to Florida from Michigan. The wife happened to reach down and pick up 2 bananas that had fallen on the floor. I said to her, "You know, most people wouldn't pick those up." She said, "No, most would just walk by. That says something about this country."

Well, we got into a great conversation about how we all felt the country was going to hell in a hand cart and moving dangerously towards socialism. They were VERY angry at all the lies Obama and his crowd were telling and, like me, had the opinion that too many people wanted something for nothing--to not have to work and have the government take care of them. We agreed that it made for a lazy population, that we weren't raised that way--that hard work and honesty were becoming the kind of traits that were not part of the American way of life.

Yes, we had quite a conversation, but the 3 of us agreed that we needed to keep plugging along and lead by example--to pick up the stray banana, chat with a stranger, and always do the right thing.

Close to the end of the conversation (groceries were beckoning) I saw a young woman with a t-shirt that said "Palin '08" walking down the aisle and pointed it out. I commented that as long as I still see things like that I'll have hope.

So the next time you're out at a Walmart, stop and pick up the stray banana on the floor or clothes that have fallen off the rack (I always do that) and have the courage to get in a conversation with a stranger. You just might find someone who shares your values.

FIGHT

All Democrats should watch this video

If you Democrats think your party believes in fairness, then you should watch this video and see how your party has been hijacked by liars and criminals.

This is why I love Sarah Palin

She shops at Walmart just like I do...and she buys the store brands.

Palin surprises local shoppers with visit

Obama did not write "Dreams From My Father"

Was listening to Jerry Agar this morning and his very first "story" was about a guy named Jack Cashill who is pretty darned positive about the connections between Bill Ayers and Barack Obama. Yep, Obama is a great speech READER, but if you ever listen to him speak WITHOUT a canned speech it's pretty obvious he is being provided the material he uses in his speeches--he's not much "off the cuff." 

"The emergence of a previously unseen writing sample proves all but conclusively that Barack Obama did not in any meaningful way write Dreams From My Father, the book that Time Magazine has called “the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.” 

The emergence of a second writing sample, this one by a legitimate author, provides convincing evidence as to who did."

Read this story: Obama did not write "Dreams From My Father"

Kind of looks like Obama is the guy in front of the screen (like in Wizard of Oz) and someone is behind pulling his strings. It's pretty frightening that this guy might actually be president....be afraid, be very afraid.

By the way, ANYONE my age who actually took any kind of history class remembers Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn and the Weather Underground. I lived in the Chicago area during the 1968 Democratic convention and heard the stories about the crap they pulled (literally) during that time. I watched the news about bombings and other horrible CRIMINAL activities. Yes, protesting the war was a constitutional right, but bombings and killings were not.  Anyone who tries to justify their illegal and murderous activities by saying they were exercising their right to protest is a TOTAL IDIOT. 

The skit Saturday Night Live pulled but Rush and Michelle Malkin posted

Mortgage insanity

1. Was watching Fox and Friends this morning and saw one of my favorites--Ann Coulter--who mentioned in their rush to distribute mortgages to people (social engineering) banks and finance companies were using welfare checks and unemployment benefits to calculate income. As one who (YEARS AGO) actually got an umemployment check I know how really paltry they are and that they are only available for a limited time. WTH***???? Come on--no wonder banks and mortgage financers are in trouble--they should be ashamed of themselves.
2. Was reading someplace else this morning (here it is) that because Governor Palin wears white jackets that's somehow a racist message. OH MY GOD--how far have they fallen. I guess nurses and sailors are all racists....
3. Now Barney Frank (and others) is/are accusing Republicans of being racists because they oppose/opposed mortgages to people who shouldn't have them because they're not qualified financially--there is/was NO way they could ever pay for them or pay them off. I guess when you have no quality to your position you scream racism. Geez....
4. Heard that some people as to this BAILOUT thing are suggesting that anyone who is behind 2 MONTHS on their mortgage payments should get government assistance. When my husband got home (from WORK--what a concept) I told him we should immediately stop paying for the mortgage so we could get saved by the bailout. In other words, we could get government (taxpayer money) help for being slackers. IS THIS NOT NUTS??????
5. Here's the shirt I want.....

So what are your thoughts about this financial meltdown we're facing?

My IRA has lost about $25,000 in the last year. In spite of my husband constantly telling me that I should move some of the money around into other funds I've stuck with one that's been, well, kind of sucking air. Maybe that's stupid, but just to get some perspective on my (perhaps flawed) thinking, I also put an extra $1,000 into the market (wasn't easy--had to dig to get that much together) a little while after the 9/11 attacks. At the time I thought it was patriotic and right now I think pulling money out of a well managed and traditionally successful mutual fund isn't the right thing to do. There have been ups and downs in the market, but I still believe it will come back strongly. I just can't see pulling any money out right now (unlike Jim Cramer from CNBC who yesterday advised--rather hysterically--to pull all your money out of stocks), and since I don't want to even consider using any of the IRA money for another 10 years or so which means, yes, I'm in it for the long haul. I'm not a huge investor, and on my retirement pension (in spite of working 3 jobs at once I was considered part-time for years) is really paltry. I'm just another person out here trying to make some sense of the argument that Bill Foster (unfortunately my congressman) is using for throwing over $700 billion taxpayer dollars at PRIVATE companies. THANKFULLY Jim Oberweis was against the bailout. Ok, some might say it's just because he's running against Foster and trying to cater to the folks out here who'll be voting in November but the guy has been (successfully) in the investment business for YEARS so he must know something--and he is a University of Illinois business graduate. Foster has aligned himself VERY CLOSELY with Pelosi and her liberal loons, so it's not hard to see why Foster would support throwing taxpayer money around--that's what Demon-crats do thinking it'll solve every problem. Yep, that's looney.

Here's today's story in the Chicago Tribune about Oberweis' position on the bailout and a very good quote:

But Oberweis, who has made millions of dollars as an investment manager, said the bailout would "hurt the growth of our economy for many years to come."

"We don't magically wave a wand and say here is $700 billion. That money comes from somewhere. It's taken out of our economy," said Oberweis, who is probably best known for his family's namesake dairy business.

Read the story (it's pretty short but to the point). It illustrates the difference between loons in the Demon-crat party and a CONSERVATIVE Republican.

Here's the Aurora Beacon story also:

Oberweis, Foster at odds on bailout

The Biden Error/Lie/Hallucination List (UPDATED)

Read this wonderful list of Biden's LIES. Let's call them as they are--he's a liar and so ridiculously full of himself it's nauseating.

My favorite intro this list:
"(in this)... you’ll find a list of 14 “lies” Biden told last night, distributed by the McCain campaign. I’d just note two observations: first, when you tell stories of things that didn’t happen with the frequency of Joe Biden, coupled with his fervent belief of these untrue and inaccurate statements, I don’t think “lie” is the appropriate term. “Hallucinations” seems more accurate, I think. Second, they missed a bunch, so Biden’s list of li- er, hallucinations is well beyond 14."

Another reason I like the New York Post

PIT BULL SARAH SHOWS HER BITE

PIT BULL KICKS WONK BUTT

PALIN WINS BIG WITH A REAGAN-LIKE FLAIR

Here's a quote from that one by Dick Morris: :

"LAST night was a big, big win for Sarah Palin.

She showed originality, charisma and sass - a style that is refreshing and different in our politics. She didn't just win the vice-presidential debate, she showed that she belongs with Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton as among the best communicators of our modern political times."

It's about time us Catholics told the truth about the Democrat Party

October 1st, 2008
Vatican official attacks U.S. Democrats as “party of death”

Read the story--Here's one of the best quotes:
"Vatican officials seldom single out political leaders who differ with the Church on issues like abortion rights or embryonic stem cell research. But now that the Vatican’s highest court is led by an American, the former St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke, we can expect things to get more explicit in Vatican City — at least when when it comes to U.S. politics.

Burke, who was named prefect of the Vatican’s Supreme Court of the Apostolic Signature in June, told the Italian Catholic newspaper Avvenire that the U.S. Democratic Party risked “transforming itself definitively into a party of death for its decisions on bioethical issues.” He then attacked two of the party’s most high profile Catholics — vice presidential candidate Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — for misrepresenting Church teaching on abortion."

The Democrat party IS the party of death. No matter how they try to parse their words, they advocate death--PRO CHOICE means abortion (which for the ignorant means DEATH for the unborn child). To reiterate common sense---a baby is not a CHOICE--it's a BABY.

Parse that you Demon-crats.

HURRAY--Bill O'Reilly calls Barney Frank a coward!

It's about time someone called this guy what he is--a coward and a liar!!!

Palin wiped the floor with Biden

Thank you Sarah Palin. You were the stand up winner against pompous and condescending Joe Biden.

Some things I noted:

1. Palin looked directly into the camera and spoke plainly to everyone.
   
2. Biden kept speaking to Gwen Ifil (moderator)--"Well Gwen/Yes, Gwen"....etc. ANNOYING AS ALL HELL. He looked down and has beady eyes....looked like just another smarmy Washington "I know everything" politicians--ya, those guys who got us all into this credit crunch with their social engineering.
3. Palin is the future. Biden is SO OBVIOUSLY the past. It couldn't have been clearer than watching that debate tonight.
4. Palin was pretty clear that Obama and Biden want to wave the white flag of surrender in Iraq---how absolutely stunningly true. The Democrats are totally about defeat and negativity.
   
5. Palin pointed out how absurd it is that Biden and his Demo-cronies keep referring to the Bush administration. In case those Demo-crooks haven't noted Bush won't be the president after January and isn't running now. Thank you Sarah for pointing that out because Biden sure doesn't seem to know that.

I'm not bitter, I'm blessed

What caused this financial crisis?
