Your Nightly Circular Firing Squad Post….

Well, maybe not…. But just shut up and read on…. 😉 😛 😀

Michelle Malkin, As much as I respect her as a Conservative; albeit an knuckle-headed Neo-Conservative, but just the same, a Conservative; There are times when the the lady does stuff that makes me step back and really wonder, “What the hell does that woman drink when she’s posting on that blog?” Now, I realize that it might not be nothing stronger than your average double shot of espresso. But, this one here even made me go, “HUH?!?!”

What I am talking about is this. Obama is keeping Robert Gates. This made me personally go “Whew!” Because I believe that gates knows the score of what’s happening on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. (So to speak) It also shows, I think that ol’ Barry is a not your typical far-lefty, “End the WAR NOOOOWWWWWWW!” type of the Democrat politican. It also shows that he’s trying to lead from the Center. A Pragmatist, if you will.

Well, anyhow, of course, Malkin starts carping on her Blog, sounding like a 8 year old kid with turret’s, hollering “Hope Change! Hope Change! Hope Change!” So, i thought, “Okay, I’ll look around a little…” I looked at the list of Blogs who are discussing the fact that he’s keeping Gates, okay. Did I see any lefty flipping out? Nope! I even checked the most lefty Blog I know, and the closest thing I could come up with, was this post here and it wasn’t even of the normal nutty netroots type.

So, honestly, I cannot figure out what Malkin’s problem is. I mean, of course knowing her, she’d critize Obama if he changed the defense secretary. Which is kind of funny, considering she’s supposedly a Christian and Christians are not supposed to criticize others and they’re supposed to respect those in authority. Some Christian eh? 🙄 (My feelings towards Catholics and thier supposed Christianity aside.) Of course, she thinks that she can trash Obama and go to mass or to a confessional and everything will be fine. Of course, if you know the Bible, that is false. You confess your sin to the Lord Jesus and not to a “Priest”.

Anyhow, I just don’t get it. Why knock the man for something that might be a good thing?

Let's say thanks to our troops

You might notice the new thingy on the left there, that says “Let’s say thanks to our troops!” Well, what that is about is this here.  Everyday our American Military serves this Country Faithfully. Right now, we have soldiers serving in two wars. Not matter what you feelings about the events leading up to Iraq, or the fact that we’re even there; one thing that cannot be debated, argued or even dismissed, is the fact that our United States Military is the best, the bravest and the strongest. It is also a fact that they are doing the jobs, that the rest of us will not or cannot do…. and for this the fine men and women serving deserve our praise, honor and respect. Not to be ignored, there are also brave men and women fighting a war, against extremists in Afghanistan, in a country that is increasingly hostile to our presence.

Seeing all of this, I believe that some respect is due. So, I ask you, nicely, to click on the widget on the left and send a nice message to our Military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Clear and Present Stupidity….

John McCormack ponders over at the Neo-Con Weakly Substandard:

I haven’t a clue why support for keeping the prison open decreased since July, but I imagine support would be a lot higher if more people read Thomas Joscelyn’s excellent article on the terrorists at Guantanamo, “Clear and Present Danger”, in this week’s issue of THE WEEKLY STANDARD.

Uhmmm….. Could it be that the rest of sane America knows that over 90% of the people being housed in that facility are not actual terrorists?

Could it be, that the rest of sane America has wised up to the Neo-Conservative fear-mongering of the last 8 years?

Quote of the Day

Conservatives were called racist for opposing immigration policies pushed by the Bush administration, other Big-Government Republicans and Democrats. The wrong immigration policy, under which people here unlawfully would receive benefits at taxpayer expense, would also allow them to steal jobs from low-income Americans, and would be a slap in the face to immigrants who came to America legally through a long and sometimes expensive process.

Conservatism is a threat to liberalism because bigotry is counterproductive to conservatives, but is a cornerstone of liberalism. Economic conservatism values the productivity, work, intelligence, integrity, motivation and other virtues of the individual. Religious conservatism is based in the fundamental premise that we are all born of equal value in the eyes of God.

Liberals who evade the merits of policy arguments by resorting to calling white conservatives “racists” or African-American conservatives “Uncle Toms” don’t merely demonstrate their own ignorance, they cheapen the cause against real racism.

Republican Strategist Todd Harris is a liar.

I was just watching MSNBC’s Hardball. I just watched Todd Harris lie through his teeth.

He sat right there on that show and said that the U.A.W’s President was NOT at the “Bail out Hearings”

Uhmmmm.. Todd?

Auto industry executives, from left, General Motors CEO Richard Wagoner; Chrysler CEO Robert Nardelli; Ford CEO Alan Mulally; and Ron Gettelfinger, president of the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, testify on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2008

Somebody needs to tell Todd Harris to brush up on his talking points. Because here. He is just flat wrong.

Allan Colmes throws in the towel with Hannity & Colmes

(H/T to Don Surber via TVNEWSER)

The Radio Equalizer reports:

After a remarkable twelve year run, Alan Colmes is set to leave FOX News Channel’s top-rated Hannity & Colmes at the end of the year, according to key sources.

Though the decision was said to have been made by Colmes himself, it is not yet known what future role he will play at the network.

There have been no industry rumblings regarding the liberal host heading for another network and his radio show remains syndicated by FOX News Radio. That means he’s probably likely to remain there in some capacity.

Also unknown at this time is who will replace take Alan’s place at the Hannity & Colmes Show, if anyone.

So far, Colmes has not commented on the move at his site, but syndicated talker Lars Larson tells your Radio Equalizer that he’s asked Colmes to appear on his show to discuss the situation.

I can see why Alan would want to do this. I suppose he simply got tired of Hannity. Don Surber Agrees:

Frankly (and I know this is going to cost me readers) I find Sean Hannity on TV unbearable. He’s OK on the radio, but I get tired of the volume going up and the intelligence going down.

Maybe Colmes got tired of it too.

I must say that I agree. My Mother hates Sean Hannity with a passion. I am not too fond of him at all either. The man has zero Journalistic credentials. The man was a freakin’ nobody, before he lied his way into the business and Murdoch gave him his break. He’s a neo-con stooge and I have zero respect for him. Like Don said, I guess Colmes got tired of it.

I wish Allan the best.

Update: Video (Thanks to Breit Bart)

The “Hoo Hoo’s!” and Aww’s were too funny. Scripted, but funny. For once, Sean Hannity showed some grace and honor. I’ll give him a pass, this time. 😉

Blog Headline & Quote of the Day….

I hate having to ride the coattails of other Blogs. But I saw this headline and I let out a rather loud guffaw.

Huckabee: The only difference between me and Palin is that she looks better in stilettos 

Rolling on the floor

and… the quote:

Asked about Sarah Palin, he responded, “She, uh, was an appropriate choice, because she put John McCain back in the game.” That was the get-along answer, but a few minutes later the new, aggrieved Huckabee resurfaced. He recalled, “It was funny that all through the primary—I mean literally up until McCain got enough delegates to win—people said, ‘You know, Huckabee’s really running for Vice-President. Gee, Huckabee would be a great Vice-President.’ And from that day forward, when I actually was no longer running for President, nobody ever said, ‘Gee, Huckabee would be a great Vice-President.’ ” Neither was he quite so unperturbed by the Palin pick: “I was scratching my head, saying, ‘Hey, wait a minute. She’s wonderful, but the only difference was she looks better in stilettos than I do, and she has better hair.’ It wasn’t so much a gender issue, but it was like they suddenly decided that everything they disliked about me was O.K. . . . She was given a pass by some of the very people who said I wasn’t prepared.”

Go read the Blog entry, as Allah breaks it down, very well.

Exit Comment: Huckabee in stilettos? Eeewww… Sick

ZOMG! Obama didn't go to Church

Oh my Lordy…. Now the stupidity has started.

Via Politico:

President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this month, a departure from the example of his two immediate predecessors.

On the three Sundays since his election, Obama has instead used his free time to get in workouts at a Chicago gym.

Asked about the president-elect’s decision to not attend church, a transition aide noted that the Obamas valued their faith experience in Chicago but were concerned about the impact their large retinue may have on other parishioners.

“Because they have a great deal of respect for places of worship, they do not want to draw unwelcome or inappropriate attention to a church not used to the attention their attendance would draw,” said the aide.

Both President-elect George W. Bush and President-elect Bill Clinton managed to attend church in the weeks after they were elected.

In November of 1992, Clinton went to services in Little Rock, Ark., on the three weekends following his election, taking pre-church jogs on the first two and attending on the third weekend a Catholic Mass with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, with whom he was trying to smooth over lingering campaign tensions.

I know I might be a little late to the troff here, but honestly, does this even remotely matter? I mean, honestly. 🙄

….and I thought I was reactionary. Yeeesh…

Better her than me….

Michelle Malkin made the top ten list of Republicans that should just go away.

Better her than me. Best thing I can come up with, is that I made gawker.com; once. Not the way that I wanted, but I did. 😛 No, I am not linking to it. If you don’t know about it. I’m not going to tell you. I tried to make a point, and it backfired, all I’m saying.

Anyways, congrats Michelle, nice to see that they still pay attention. 😉 😛

It’s when they stop paying attention, is when you swerve into Ann Coulter Territory Worry. 😆
