Jack Hunter, also known as The Southern Avenger addresses Rush Limbaugh‘s style over his and the G.O.P’s ever increasing lack of substance.
I will simply add this, there is no denying that the G.O.P. is desperate need of a image and leadership making over. I am afraid, however, that the people that are attempting to make that image over are continuing on with more of the same. Just a different color of paint. (If you catch my drift…)
Exit Question: What if we had listened to Ron Paul? Would we be in a better place?

The ripple effect of Government Socialism spreads:
Asian stock markets slumped Monday amid resurgent concerns that a recovery in the global economy is unlikely to materialize until next year and worries about the global financial sector following fresh government bailouts for the insurance giant American International Group and Citigroup.
The Nikkei 225, Japan’s benchmark index, was down 4 percent and the Kospi in South Korea fell 3.6 percent, while the key index in Hong Kong sagged 3.8 percent. Singapore’s stock market fell 3.3 percent, and the markets in Australia and Taiwan dropped 2.8 percent. Stocks in mainland China declined least, falling 0.2 percent by Monday afternoon.
Stock in banks like Mitsubishi UFJ and Mizuho Financial Group were more than 4 percent lower in Tokyo because of fears about the health of the global banking system, after the United States government moved to take a larger stake in the ailing banking giant Citigroup and was set to give an additional $30 billion in taxpayer money to AIG.
And in Hong Kong, trading in HSBC was suspended in the wake of reports that the British bank will announce on Monday that it is tapping investors for about £12 billion, or about $17 billion.
“It’s pretty despondent everywhere,” said Dwyfor Evans, a strategist at State Street Global Markets in Hong Kong. “Okay, there are signs that some of the leading indicators have stabilized to some extent, but it’s at a very, very low level, and we’re not seeing corporate investment picking up, or consumers starting to spend again – in other words, the traditional mechanisms by which economies come out of a recession are absent at this time.”
While Barack Obama might be the President that saved the working class family in America, he might very well go down as the President who destroyed the free market capitalist system in America and around the World. Although, I will admit, that he did have help. Bill Clinton’s polices, along with the inaction of the Republican Congress of 2003, did nothing to stop this mess.
The bad part about is, I and everyone else will be most likely dead before it is all straightened out.
Welcome to the 21 century. 🙄
She now says that Afghanistan is lost! 😮
Watch:
Then when someone asks here if she’s helping or hurting the Conservative cause, she basically tells them to shut up.
I mean, Afghanistan was the damned reason we went to war in the first place, that is where Osama Bin Laden is at! Duh!
Like a said, Ann Coulter is nothing more than a idiot clueless BOOB!
It seems that the blowhard Liberals are not happy with winning this election. Now they’ve taken to continuing to slandering Conservatives of all stripes; first example here. Now it seems that some blowhard by the name of James Kirchick is now smearing Ron Paul and the John Birch Society.
Honestly, do these people ever just stop? I mean, seriously, What the fuck else do they want? Conservatives to just die or be executed in mass?
I mean, I know Bush seriously fucked up and all. But Good God. Does it ever fucking end?
I just do not get it, at all.

One word about this; Good.
Via The Politico:
White House aides told Jewish leaders on a conference call today that the United States will boycott the United Nations’ World Conference on Racism over hostility to Israel in draft documents prepared for the April conference.
The aides, including an advisor to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, Jennifer Simon, and longtime Obama advisor Samantha Power, said the administration will not participate in further negotiations on the current text or participate in a conference based on the text, sources on the call said.
They left open the option of re-engaging on a “much shorter, much different text,” a source said.
The draft outcome document, typically negotiated in advance and available here (.pdf), contains sharp and specific criticism of Israel for its treatment of the Palestinians, and Western European nations and Canada have also signaled that they may boycott the conference in Geneva.
The conference is known informally as Durban II after a 2001 conference in South Africa that included a heavy focus on Israel and calls to reinstate a U.N. resolution equating Zionism and racism. Libya is chairing the preparatory meetings for this year’s conference, one of several factors prompting boycott calls.
Obama is expected to issue a statement on the subject later this afternoon, and the participants were asked not to discuss the call until a formal statement is released.
At the risk of being tagged a Obama Cheerleader or a Zionist Zealot; let me say this. I think that this is an absolutely excellent move on the President’s Part. To be clear, I do not support the United States of America showing deference or favoritism to any nation, at all. However, hostility that is rooted in a Anti-Semitic mentality is just absolutely wrong and goes against the core values of the United States, that all men are created equal in the sight of God.
I find it absolutely heartening that Obama sees this and is pulling out of this sort of a conference. Further more, this says quite a bit about the United Nations that they would allow such a horrific event to take place within their building, when, in fact, they claim to be an organization of peace.

How Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s awful Republican rebuttal to President Obama’s speech before Congress represents a wrongheaded and ill-fated GOP strategy of minority and gender identity politics.
One again, Michelle Malkin goes off the rails:
It’s one thing to see left-wingers pimp the myth that conservatives don’t do reporting. But to have a Beltway conservative show up to CPAC and lazily engage in such uninformed sanctimony? Funny thing is: Carlson was a terrific reporter in the early days of his own career…before he went on to become one of those many, you know, professional analyzers of things. Do as he says, not as he does.
He deserves all the boos he got.
Translation? Because Tucker Carlson did not stick to the Neo-Conservative talking points handed out by the Bush Administration to the Conservative reporters, Bloggers and anyone else that would recite them, he deserves to be shamed and boo’ed.
….And for what it is worth, Michelle? Tucker Carlson has had a helluva better career than you’ve ever had. I think I smell a little jealousy.
Update: I should have put this in earlier, but I didn’t think about it. I will say this, Tucker Carlson going to CPAC, which is generally accepted as a Republican “shindig” and saying what he did, was quite stupid; seeing that he is a Libertarian. But my feelings about Malkin’s carping about Tucker’s comments remain unabated.

My question to my readers of this blog is this; if the tables were turned here, Politically, Racially, and so forth; would not the Liberals be screaming from the rooftops for the head of said broadcaster? Did not Don Imus lose his job for doing something very similar to this? Only difference is that Don Imus was White and the girls insulted were Black. My question then is this, how is it that a Liberal so called “News Anchor” and a black female comedian can make these sort of remarks and not a thing happen to them? That so called Comedian, did everything but call G.O.P President Michael Steele a stupid Conservative Negro on live Television!
The reason why I am writing this is because of the following; The Democrats won. I just do not understand why there seems to be this insatiable desire to continually slander Conservatives; over and over and over. It just does not make any sense. I mean, they won, can they not just move on and stop with the continual bashing?
I know, there is going to be a Liberal that is going to read this and say, “Well, Conservatives do it too!!!” Some do, Sean Hannity; Yes, he does it. Bill O’Reilly? Not so much or at least not as bad. I have been watching the repeat of his show at night at 11:00PM locally here. He seems to have lightened up quite a bit, since the end of the election. Either that or Murdoch got onto him for being a bit over the top.
My point is here is that Keith, MSNBC, NBC in general is crazy for allowing this sort of a thing to happen on a public show. Keith should be reprimanded for this sort of behavior. I realize that this Blog won’t result in much, that Liberal network has no standards, but I figured I would point this one out to the masses.
