Ann Coulter Discussing Herman Cain



The Liberals have two "death cards" in their playbook that have been over-used again and again:

  • Not a member of a minority race: "Racist !"

  • Otherwise: "Sexual Harassment !"

They've done this for years, the most infamous being the slimy crap they tried on Clarence Thomas.

It didn't work then, it won't work now.

All they accomplished was giving Herman Cain his biggest day of fund raising so far.

The American people can see through this crap and we are sick of it.

I contributed to Herman Cain's campaign again tonight.

Please do the same.

Let's face it. This man is not a Bill Clinton. Huh, I guess if he were the lamestream media would ignore this.

NCIS

NCIS
This used to be my favorite show.
I was a fan from the beginning with the two part JAG episode.
This show spit on me with last year's "Christmas" episode, "Faith".
Because, you know, there's been so many Christians honor killing Muslims.
Then they attack the TEA Party movement.
Goodbye NCIS.

Obama Takes A Page (or two) From Stalin And Hitler

The high and mighty Greek God Obama doesn't want anyone talking about his close relationship with the terrorist Bill Ayres. So much so that they threaten legal action against anyone bringing this ugly truth to light. He's even taking to having reporters arrested for trespassing on a public sidewalk. This is the kind of hope and change he wants to bring to America. This is what America can expect to be a daily occurrence if he becomes President.

Well I'm bringing it up Barack Hussein Obama. Millions of other Americans will too.
You have a lot of questions to answer about your relationship with unrepentant Bill Ayers. Threats and intimidations won't silence us. You have a lot to answer for Mr. Obama. Guilt by association ? Well, considering the job you're applying for... hell yes.

You Libs always talk big on free speech, until someone says something you don't agree with. Then you're always quick for harassment or even legal action.

Oh, and congratulations on having a ticket that's even more liberal than the last two ! I didn't think that was possible ! And having two Senators on the ticket ! Neither with any executive experience, let alone experience at all in the case of Obama ! And Biden ? Are you kidding me ? He's been on the wrong side of history his entire career ! The depth of sound bites and video feeds from this windbag will be a goldmine for McCain.

So read the links.
See for yourself.
This the the change Obama wants to bring to America.

At Least We Don't Have To Deal With Edwards Anymore

Edwards Admits Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate



John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extramarital affair with a novice filmmaker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today.

In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he loved only his wife, Elizabeth.

"Two years ago I made a very serious mistake," Edwards said, blaming the prominence of being a vice presidential candidate. "All of which fed a self-focus, an egotism, a narcissism that leads you to believe that you can do whatever you want," he said.


Edwards has always been egotistic and a narcissist.
Just as he has always been a fraud, liar, cheat, hypocrite, etc.

He's also an idiot.
How could he run for President and not know this would come out ?

Now we just have to wait for whatever Obama has hidden to come out.
You know, besides the whole being friends with William Ayers, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, etc.

About ANWR

First: Do you know what ANWR is ?

ANWR = Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Now, A comparison...

And some perspective...

Note where the proposed development area is.

(it's in the "ANWR Coastal Plain")

This is what the Democrats, Liberals and "Greens" (Read Environmental-whackos) show you when they talk about ANWR.

They are right. These are photographs of ANWR.

Isn't ANWR beautiful ?
Why should we drill here (and destroy) this beautiful place ?

Well... as with all things Liberals tell us... that's not exactly the truth...

Do you remember the map ?

The map showed that the proposed drilling area is in the ANWR Coastal Plain...

Do those photographs look like a coastal plain to you ?

What's going on here ?

The answer is simple.

More Liberal lies, that's what.

That is not where they are wanting to drill !

This is what the proposed exploration area actually looks like in the winter.

Oh. They say that they are concerned about the effect on the local wildlife.

Here is a photo (shot during the summer) of the "DEPLETED WILDLIFE" situation created by drilling around Prudhoe Bay *.
Don't you think that the Caribou really hate that drilling ?

Hey, this bear seems to really hate the pipeline near Prudhoe Bay *.

*The Prudhoe bay area accounts for 17% of U.S. domestic oil production.

Now, why do you think that the Democrats are LYING ABOUT ANWR ?

Now that you know that the Democrats have been LYING, and we're looking at fuel prices skyrocketing,
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

You can start by sharing this with everyone you know.
Then they will know the truth.

Oh, and also remember that John McCain, the RINO, also opposes drilling there and he buys into the whole Global Warming Scam.



So what can you do come November when both candidates are asshats ?
Vote in Senators and Congressmen that will stop this insanity before it gets to the President.

Debunking Global Warming Myths

The British documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle is, well ... great.

The same broadcaster -- Channel 4 in the U.K. -- that recently exposed the extremist ideology being preached in Britain's supposedly "moderate" mosques has now similarly helped to tear away the veil of lies and religious zeal surrounding the global warming industry.

Expert after expert in this film blasts craters into the theory that CO2 -- which only makes up 0.054% of the earth's atmosphere -- has ever driven climate. Ice core records, in fact, prove the opposite, that CO2 lags warming by as much as 800 years.

The main cause of warming is, not surprisingly, the sun.

"The analogy I use," says Dr. Tim Ball, a former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg, "is my car's not running very well, so I'm going to ignore the engine, which is the sun, and I'm going to ignore the transmission, which is the water vapour and I'm going to look at one nut on the right rear wheel which is the human produced CO2. The science is that bad."


Great article.

You can see the video at Power Line.

You can also watch it at You tube (until the libs get it removed).

I'll see if I can download it and host it here.

"You guys, this is one of the elements in the periodic table you know. I'm not sure if it's in our jurisdiction to be banning a whole element."

Let Them Eat Tofu !




Ann Coulter's
observations about the Global Warming Boogy-man and the consequences of caving in to the demands of the lunatic left.

Even right-wingers who know that "global warming" is a crock do not seem to grasp what the tree-huggers are demanding. Liberals want mass starvation and human devastation. Forget the lunacy of people claiming to tell us the precise temperature of planet Earth in 1918 based on tree rings. Or the fact that in the '70s liberals were issuing similarly dire warnings about "global cooling."


Simply consider what noted climatologists Al Gore and Melissa Etheridge are demanding that we do to combat their nutty conjectures about "global warming."
They want us to starve the productive sector of fossil fuel and allow the world's factories to grind to a halt. This means an end to material growth and a cataclysmic reduction in wealth.

There are more reputable scientists defending astrology than defending "global Warming," but liberals simply announce that the debate has been resolved in their favor and demand that we shut down all production.

Our lives depend on fossil fuel. Steel plants, chemical plants, rubber plants, pharmaceutical plants, glass plants, paper plants –- those run on energy. There are no Mother Earth nursery designs in stylish organic cotton without gas-belching factories, ships and trucks, and temperature-controlled, well-lighted stores. Windmills can't even produce enough energy to manufacture a windmill.
Liberals have always had a thing about eliminating humans. Stalin wanted to eliminate the kulaks and Ukranians, vegetarian atheist Adolf Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jews, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger wanted to eliminate poor blacks, DDT opponent Rachel Carson wanted to eliminate Africans (introduction to her book "Silent Spring" written by ... Al Gore!), and population-control guru Paul Ehrlich wants to eliminate all humans.


Go read the whole thing.

Five Western States To Cripple Their Economies On The Sacred Cow Of Global Warming

Five Western U.S. states have formed the latest regional pact that bypasses the Bush administration to cut emissions linked to the junk science of global warming through market mechanisms (government regulations, fines and taxes) thereby forcing businesses to flee to other states, according to Oregon's governor. Oregon, California, Washington, New Mexico and Arizona have agreed to develop a regional target for committing economic suicide in six months, according a statement from Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski.

During the next 18 months, the governors will devise a market-based program (government regulations, fines and taxes) , such as a load-based cap and trade program (tax and fine businesses that use power out of existence) to reach the target. The five states also have agreed to participate in a multi-state registry to track and manage greenhouse gas emissions in their region. The Western Regional Climate Action Initiative comes on the heels of an agreement in the East called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative To Kill The Economy that is also based on junk science and is economic suicide.

So the coasts want to commit suicide. Will you miss them ? Really ?

"With the Western states you've got a huge (soon to be diminishing) part of the U.S. economy that are beginning to regulate greenhouse gases (even though the "science" is disputed, we're going to throw our citizens under the bus to be politically correct)," said Jeremiah Baumann, an advocate with the Oregon State Public Interest In Less Jobs Research Group.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger recently passed the country's toughest greenhouse emissions laws which aim to reduce the state's economy-wide output of the gases by 25 percent by 2020. The California economy is expected to crash by 25 to 50 percent by 2010 under the weight of this legislation and the stupid healthcare initiative.

Monday's agreement "sets the stage for a regional cap and trade program, which will provide a powerful framework for developing a national cap and trade program that will be sure to plummet the economic outlook for the entire region," Schwarzenegger said in a statement on Monday. "This agreement shows the power of states to lead our nation addressing climate change (which has not been proven) and leading the way for high unemployment rates with no discernable impact on the environment."

The other states in the Western pact have also passed greenhouse gas and employment reduction initiatives of their own. The regional pact would allow the states to use market mechanisms (state mandated, not market driven) more efficiently (tax tax tax) to reduce output of the gases, said Baumann.

The United States initiated cap and trade programs on pollutants such as acid rain components in the early 1990s. Still wasn't enough for them.

In such markets for greenhouse gases, companies can offset their emissions by investing in clean projects like solar and wind power, or earn credits that they can sell for cutting their emissions at their factories, or move elsewhere.

In 2005, the European Union formed a cap and trade program to meet its countries' obligations under the Kyoto Protocol, which countries such as China and India are exempt from. Unlike developed countries that ratified Kyoto, the United States does not regulate carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. This is an outright lie. The EPA regulates all pollutants. President George W. Bush withdrew from the international pact early in his first term, saying it would hurt the economy and unfairly leave rapidly developing countries without emissions limits in its first phase. This is a deliberate misrepresentation of the facts. He didn't withdraw from Kyoto, Congress must ratify all treaties before the President can do anything. The President can not sign any treaty without congress's approval. Bill Clinton didn't sign Kyoto either for the same reason. Funny how that fact is always ignored.

Greenhouse pacts on both coasts could send a message to smokestack and transportation businesses and encourage them to lobby for a national greenhouse plan, rather than face patchwork local regulations, Baumann said. Or they could just move avoiding stupid regulations that have no scientific merit.

Like California's recent laws, the Western pact also seeks to regulate imports of electricity from dirty coal-burning power plants from surrounding states outside of the agreement. Thereby ensuring that their citizens have to pay more for power no matter where it comes from.

The seven states in the Eastern suicide regional pact, which include New York and Massachusetts, aim to cut carbon dioxide emissions at power plants by 10 percent by 2019 and economic growth by more than twice that in half the time.

Who is going to say they are for carbon dioxide emissions ?

Who's The Uniter And Who's The Divider ?



Clinton launches withering attack on Bush on Iraq, Katrina, budget


Clinton said the Bush administration had decided to invade Iraq "virtually alone and before UN inspections were completed, with no real urgency, no evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction."
Last I checked we were a sovereign nation Bill. We don't need the permission of the UN to look after our own interests. Oh, I think "virtually alone" is a bit of a stretch. But you always did have trouble with facts.

Clinton said there had been a "heroic but so far unsuccessful" effort to put together an constitution that would be universally supported in Iraq.
I guess good old Bill hasn't read the headlines lately.

On Hurricane Katrina, Clinton faulted the authorities' failure to evacuate New Orleans ahead of the storm's strike on August 29.

People with cars were able to heed the evacuation order, but many of those who were poor, disabled or elderly were left behind.

"If we really wanted to do it right, we would have had lots of buses lined up to take them out," Clinton.
Too bad all of those busses were left sitting in New Orleans huh Bill ? I guess that was FEMA's/Bush's fault, huh Bill ?


"When James Lee Witt ran FEMA, because he had been both a local official and a federal official, he was always there early, and we always thought about that," Clinton said, referring to FEMA's head during his 1993-2001 presidency.

Rewriting history again are we Bill ?

On the US budget, Clinton warned that the federal deficit may be coming untenable, driven by foreign wars, the post-hurricane recovery programme and tax cuts that benefitted just the richest one percent of the US population, himself included.
Tax cuts that benefited just the richest one percent of the US population is just an out and out lie. People that never paid taxes in their lives received a refund. I am certainly not anywhere near the top one percent of the population and I certainly benefited from the tax cuts. Himself included. The SOB never held a job in the private sector his life. His wealth was given to him by adoring Moonbats. He has the nerve to say you and I don't deserve to keep some of what little we make ? Playing the class envy card and lying about the tax cuts is pretty much what we can expect from this scumbag.

Bush reached out to him to help unite the country in a time of need and this oaf turns around and stabs him in the back. Typical.

Thank God this ass isn't in command anymore.

Clinton's Mythical FEMA



"I will Rule You!"

Senator Hillary Clinton is continuing the noble endeavor of revising the record of her loving husband's eight years in the Oval Office, even if it means exploiting Hurricane Katrina's devastation to do it. Senator Clinton creates a mythical picture of FEMA under her husband's leadership and her comrades in the mainstream news media run with it.

NARAL - National Association of Repugnant Asinine Liars

This is disgusting. A national add by NARAL trying to get away with slander and libel.





Announcer: "Seven years ago a bomb destroyed a woman's health clinic In Birmingham, Alabama."
Lyons: ""The bomb ripped my clinic. I almost lost my life. I will never be the same."
Announcer: ""Supreme Court nominee John Roberts filed court briefs supporting violent fringe groups and a convicted
clinic bomber."
Lyons: "I am determined to stop this violence, so I'm speaking out."

The brief Roberts filed as a "Friend Of The Court" had nothing to do with supporting violence.
The case that the brief was filed against had nothing to do with bombing or violence.
The Birmingham clinic was bombed seven years after Roberts signed the legal briefing the ad sites !
This is typical of Liberals. If you can't win an argument; Tell a bold faced lie and hope you scare enough people that are to stupid and/or lazy to look up the facts themselves.

Hat Tip Power Line.

CWA Says NARAL's Desperate Logic Suggests NOW Violence

NARAL ad rankles Roberts supporters

NARAL Falsely Accuses Supreme Court Nominee Roberts

In words and images, the ad conveys the idea that Roberts took a legal position excusing bombing of abortion clinics, which is false. To the contrary, during the Reagan administration when he was Associate Counsel to the President, Roberts drafted a memo saying abortion-clinic bombers "should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law." In the 1986 memo, Roberts called abortion bombers "criminals" and "misguided individuals," indicating that they would get no special treatment regarding requests for presidential pardons. Reagan in fact gave no pardons to abortion-clinic bombers.
The 1986 draft is on file at the Reagan library. The White House furnished a copy to FactCheck.org.


CABLE CONTROVERSY: CNN AGREES TO AIR BLOODY ABORTION AD ON JUDGE ROBERTS

Tell me CNN is fair an balanced. No wonder Fox News is kicking their arse.

Here's the text of an e-mail I sent to the "News" channel CNN:


I am disgusted that your network would run an add by NARAL that is so patently full of slander and libel. It is little wonder that Fox News continues to trounce your network in ratings. You should all be ashamed and embarrassed.
I will never watch any of your networks again and will encourage everyone I meet to stay away from you and your advertisers.


Feel free to use it and embellish.


BTW, just to show you how sleazy and deceptive NARAL is, they no longer even tell people what NARAL (the acronym) stands for, even on their own web site.

I'll tell you:
National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League.

This organization stands for abortion.
Any abortion.
For any reason.
By any means.

They have some nerve accusing Judge Roberts of advocating violence when they themselves have advocated violence against defenseless human beings for years.

Here is a photo of the Nazi handiwork at Buchenwald, Dick. Are you sincere when you compare this atrocity to what is going on at Guantanamo? Not only are there no piles of corpses at Camp Delta, there has never even been a single death. You need to apologize, profusely, to the American servicemen at Gitmo.

GOP Chairman Walks Out Of Raucous Hearing


The Republican chairman walked off with the gavel, leaving Democrats shouting into turned-off microphones at a raucous hearing Friday on the Patriot Act

Good for him ! LOL !
GOP chairman halts Patriot Act hearing
when four witnesses picked by the Democrats began broad denunciations of Bush's war on terrorism and the condition of detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, Chairman James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., showed his pique.

"We ought to stick to the subject," the chairman scolded at the end. "The Patriot Act has nothing to do with Guantánamo Bay. The Patriot Act has nothing to do with enemy combatants. The Patriot Act has nothing to do with indefinite detentions."

Damn straight. If the Demoncrats can't keep to the subject then to hell with them. Good to see someone has had enough of their nonsense.

CSPAN has it all on video.
This is a great watch. He really gives them a good tongue lashing ! You have got to watch this !

Let me thank the Chairman for convening the hearing even though he's doing it by the rules and he's being a bit testy - Mel Watt

Oh, I see, he just cut off Dan Lungren (R) when he ran out of time the same as he did to everyone. It seemed pretty balanced to me. "even though he's doing it by the rules" Doesn't that just say it all ? I mean really. How pathetic is it when you complain about the Chairman following the rules ? I found it interesting that Mr. Watt could not think of one thing to ask the "witnesses".


Huh.


These "witnesses" kept droning on and on about torture committed by our government and our armed forces; yet they were never able to site one example of actual torture. Humiliation... sure. Torture ? No. And the "examples" they alluded to had nothing to do with the Patriot Act.


Trent Franks had a good point. The detention of aliens happened before the passage of the Patriot Act. Therefore the Patriot Act had nothing to do with it. Besides, aliens have no rights under the Constitution. Only Citizens do.

The numbers appear to go must higher. - James Zogby

Oh. they appear. Well. appearances are fact for Moonbats.

Horrific treatment
But again, no proof. Huh.
Isn't a fact that those being held in Guantanamo Bay are not being detained by any authority contained in the Patriot Act. Point in fact: if the Patriot Act was repealed today, would it have any effect on the detainees in Guantanamo Bay at all ? - Trent Franks

Nope. But hey ! The Demoncrats want to change the subject ! How unfair of the Rebublicans to stick to the discussion at hand !
Regulations, memos I can't point to because we haven't seen them in writing. But we know it exists. - Carlina Tapia-Ruano

Then she goes on to "quote" documents that she has never seen ! She actually said Quote ! WTF ? This passes for testimony ? She should work for SeeBS ! Even if these documents exist... WTF does it have to do with the Patriot Act ? NOTHING
You haven't seen them but you magically know they exist ? You're testifying that you know something you haven't even seen ?


Chris Van Hollen spouted a lot of rhetoric that had nothing to do with the PA. Blah Blah Blah.


They kept going on and on about this and that, but never sighted one provision of the PA.. which was suppposed to be the subject at hand. Huh.
Mike Pence's address was right on target.
Oh. Then there was Sheila Jackson Brown. She showed up late. She went way off the subject. Bringing slavery into this. WTF does that have to do with the PA ? Uh. Let me think... uh... NOTHING Then some how found a way to blame America for the Holocaust ! Again, WTF does that have to do with the PA ? Then this race-bater brings up the civil rights movement of the sixties. WTF does that have to do with the PA ? Uh. Let me think... uh... NOTHING Let me think here for a sec... Who has attacked us ? Racially ? ARABS. Religiously ? MUSLIMS. THESE ARE FACTS. People like her want us to ignore the FACTS and search little old ladies as much as we search Arab Muslims. Read the damned Koran. It tells them to kill us. In no uncertain terms. They started this war. We must end it. She could not even remember her own "witnesses" names.
Then she claimed that "under the PA, we have Minute Men on the border".
What a bunch of crap ! Where in the hell does the PA call for the formation of an independent organization willing to patrol out borders ? Lie lie lie. Typical Demoncrat.

Remember Roe v. Wade

Remember, those women knew what the risks were when they got the abortion. They spent a lot of money and accepted the risk, all in hopes of living a slightly better life.

They should have thought of a better life before creating a child. Instead they chose to murder the child.
I think too few people understand the slaughter of adult women that Roe ended.


And ignore the slaughter of innocent children that Roe started. Typical.

Follow up: I have every right to speak on this subject. I'm adopted. My twin brother was adopted (duh). I have twin sisters (not blood related, again duh) eleven months younger than myself that were adopted. All of us would have been murdered legally if Roe v. Wade had been around. Millions of children have been murdered legally since RvW. The majority not for health reasons. The majority were murdered because the pregnancy was inconvenient. My family would not exist if RvW was in force then.

Hillary perverted Dr. King's Dream

Powerline again comes through.

Follow up:
Here's my thoughts:

The Libs always judge by race, not by character. My family (Irish by origin but NOT Irish-American, We're American !) wasn't even in this country when slavery was an institution (In half the country, what does the other half have to feel guilty about ?) I spent most of my life in Indiana and Hyphenated-Americans would always seek to divide us over something this country fought to abolish and did ! This country was one of the first to recognize that judging people by their skin, race, or religion was wrong. It was the race in power at the time that chose to change things. Whites have nothing to apologize for. Slavery was common place among almost all nations at the time. Never forget that most of the Africans sold into slavery were sold by their own people. It doesn't make it right, but it's a fact. Whitey was not solely to blame for it. Conservatives (at the time Republicans) fought for their freedom. The Demoncrats fought against it. Conservatives today believe every man (meaning mankind for you feminazis with a chip on your shoulder) is equal and deserves equal opportunity. DemocRats believe that people of color can't compete, therefore Affirmative Action is required. Isn't that inherently racist ? Look at Dr. Condoleezza Rice and General Colin Powell. They are sneered at and libeled and slandered by the DemoncRats at every turn because they succeeded at the American dream. Dr. Martin Luther King's dream has been achieved despite the DemocRat's best efforts. I now yield the floor. :-)
