It is an updated one, via InstaPundit. Show this to Democrats when they try to blame our budget problems on Bush’s wars. This will prove that they are, as always; full of crap.

Disagreeing with Jeff Goldstein…..sort of
I happen to respect Jeff’s opinion, alot. He might not want to hear that; but the guy has chops when it comes to writing.
Anyhow, a bit of nitpicking here:
Just watched the debate. Not sure why people are saying Romney won so convincingly. Obama, with few exceptions, bullshitted his way through things just fine. And Romney too often sounded like a me-too statist.
Objectively, Romney won on the points and particulars, and he had several strong moments. Clearly, he’s not the leftist Obama is — though he’s still a statist. That’s a net positive, should he win election.

My comments on the “statist” bit. If Jeff is referring to the, “Let’s save and/or shore up Social Security and Medicare” sort of a Statist; then yes, I would say, yes, Romney is one of those. But then again, so is the entire GOP. Because hell, a good 75 percent of their base is in that category. Now if Jeff is referring to the “Government and Private Industry Partnerships” type of a statist, I believe he would be wrong about that.
Although, I would like to see Romney’s position on Government subsidies to corporate farms and oil companies. Personally, I believe those have to go, as they put small time farmers under the gun and create an unfair environment for them. As for the oil companies, they make enough money; why should they get handouts from the Government? But that is just my populist roots, intertwined with my libertarianism shining through. I am all for capitalism, but I am not for Government picking winners and losers in the business industry at all.
On a related matter; Last night I happened to notice someone praising Romney’s performance —- Patrick J. Buchanan. I nearly fell out of my chair, when I saw him singing the praises of Romney’s performance. This is the same Patrick J. Buchanan that believes that the “Neoconservatives’ are the redheaded stepchildren of the Republican Party and the Conservative movement. To be fair, Pat’s sister Bay Buchanan is on Romney’s team, so that *might* have something to do with it. Although, you most likely could not prove it in court.
You have to know Willard’s on to something, when Bill Kristol AND Pat Buchanan are BOTH saying that Romney spanked Obama’s butt and won the debate. If those two polar opposites in Republicanism and Conservatism agree; Romney is definitely onto something and here is hoping that he does keep it up.
One of them bitter-clingers from Tennessee posts his love for Guns on facebook, Liberals pee themselves
Yes, that title is supposed to be ironic and kind of funny too.
It seems that a young man running for Congress for the State of Tennessee is in hot water with the liberal left.

The story via WKRN in Nashville:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. –
Republican U.S. Congressional candidate Brad Staats continues to defend a controversial Facebook post.Brad Staats posted a picture of a handgun along with the statement, “Many people keep asking me about my opinion on Second Amendment rights. Apparently Tennesseans are part of that crazy crowd that Obama says cling to their religion and guns. Well then I must be part of that crazy crowd. Here is something that I usually have with me. Welcome to Tennessee Mr. Obama where we appreciate our [Second] Amendment rights and the constitution that was wisely given to us by our founding fathers.”
At a Lipscomb University event on Monday night, Staats told Nashville’s News 2, “I’m going to say what I mean and mean what I say and I want Tennesseans and Americans to know that I’m not going to back up on what I say.”
Staats said the Facebook post was never meant to be an attack on the president but it is in reference to the recently passed U.N. Small Arms Treaty.
“I do want President Obama to know as well as the rest of Congress and everyone else regarding our constitutional, rights don’t tread on America’s constitution,” said Staats. “I think that your liberties, your life can be defended by the proper instructed use of a handgun.”
Staats said his strong stance on handguns stems from his mother’s own personal experience.
He said, “She would have either been raped or murdered had she not had a handgun in her car she actually got ran off a road and it was obvious she was getting ready to be assailed.”
It is a fair defense and I would have done the same damned thing. There was no threat implied at all; this is a tactic of the liberal left and yes, the Neoconservative right (AKA FAKE!) does the same damned thing too. They call threat, anytime someone posts a pic of a gun or other related matter and the name Obama. It is a disgrace and when this stuff happens the first amendment is being trampled upon. How many times did people have signs saying “Kill Bush?” Plenty.
So, this whole thing is a bad joke and the liberal left knows it. They say “But, oh! He’s black!” I got one thing to say about all that: Big ‘effin’ deal. The truth is, the President has more security around him, than Bush ever did, so the chances of him being shot and killed is slim to none. Unless someone seriously screws up at the secret service, which will never happen.
For your reading pleasure: Here is a roundup of idiot liberals who are saying that this evil bitter-clinger ought to be in prison for blaspheming the might “one” who came in the name of progressivism:

Drop in voter registration in Ohio
Despite what has happened locally here and how I feel about it; I must continue on writing and blogging about what I consider to be important.
It seems that in Ohio, there has been a decline in voter registration, especially in Democratic Party strongholds. This is also signaling a national trend. Here is the Story and Video via Fox News Channel:
The Video:
The Story:
“Don’t boo, vote,” President Obama often says in his stump speech whenever crowds boo a Romney plan.
The off-hand call to vote may be by design. It comes amid a precipitous decline in Democratic voter registration in key swing states — nowhere more apparent than in Ohio.
Voter registration in the Buckeye State is down by 490,000 people from four years ago. Of that reduction, 44 percent is in Cleveland and surrounding Cuyahoga County, where Democrats outnumber Republicans more than two to one.
“I think what we’re seeing is a lot of spin and hype on the part of the Obama campaign to try to make it appear that they’re going to cruise to victory in Ohio,” Cuyahoga County Republican Chairman Rob Frost said. “It’s not just Cuyahoga County. Nearly 350,000 of those voters are the decrease in the rolls in the three largest counties, Cuyahoga, Hamilton and Franklin.”
Frost points out that those three counties all contain urban centers, where the largest Democrat vote traditionally has been.
Ohio is not alone. An August study by the left-leaning think tank Third Way showed that the Democratic voter registration decline in eight key swing states outnumbered the Republican decline by a 10-to-one ratio. In Florida, Democratic registration is down 4.9 percent, in Iowa down 9.5 percent. And in New Hampshire, it’s down down 19.7 percent.
“It’s understandable that enthusiasm is going to wane a little bit from that historic moment (in 2008),” says Michelle Diggles, the study co-author and senior policy adviser for Third Way. “You can only elect the first African-American president of this country once.
Of course, there are other reasons why people are just not happy anymore with the Democrats:
One Democratic Party consultant told Fox News that independents in Ohio may be leaning Democratic – an effect that may be tied to the bailout of Chrysler and GM. One of eight people in Ohio work in businesses directly tied to the auto industry. The state has been carpeted with Obama ads that point to his bailout of the industry and it’s managed bankruptcy.
I do not mean to toot my own horn; but in this case, I must. I predicted that stuff like this would happen on my old blog. When the bailouts happened, and when the healthcare bill was pushed through. The truth is Independents are simply running away from Obama. Another thing too that this report did not cover; is that some Democrats are simply not happy with the Obama Administration. This is for a number for reasons: The continuation of Bush’s polices on the war on terror and the war is one. The failure to close the prisons in Gitmo is another. The continuing of the war in Afghanistan is another. Also too, Ohio is also a union State and when Obama’s chief of staff at the time, said “F*** the big three!”, many in Ohio heard about that too. This all makes for a unpopular President.
Also too; the economy in Ohio, here in Michigan; and nationally, just plain sucks. There are many small businesses in Ohio, many of whom are faithful Democrats; and they are just looking at their bottom lines and are looking at this President and wondering, “What on earth are they doing to us?” To be fair, it is not all of Obama’s fault. The Federal Reserve with it’s QE1, QE2 and now QE3 is not helping the situation at all. When the fed prints more money, inflation happens, which drives the prices of everything up and this, in turn, hurts businesses. Which, in turn, hurts the economy. Bill Clinton learned this lesson early on, and made adjustments. Jimmy Carter and this President, did not. For that, they are paying a price at the polls.
I should also mention that this current foreign policy debacle in Libya, and Egypt and the rest of the Arab World is also weighing heavy on the minds of people as well. As it was in 1979, with the Iran hostage crisis. Now, Iran is being a problem again. Which is very ironic.
History has such a strange way of repeating itself.
National Review offers Mitt Romney some good advice and everybody hates it
I saw the following this morning and I read the reactions to it and I honestly had to chuckle at it.
The National Review actually gave Governor Mitt Romney some rather good advice in a piece penned by the editors. The crux of it is here:
Americans are more likely to blame Bush for the financial crisis that started on his watch than to blame Obama for the slow recovery from it. And even before the financial crisis, the last period of Republican governance was not especially good for America’s middle class. Wages were flat for people in the middle of the income spectrum even when the economy was growing.
The Romney campaign acknowledges that the crisis began before Obama took office, but it has next to nothing to say about what Bush-era Republicans got wrong. The result is that Romney appears to be saying that everything was going swimmingly until Obama came along. That impression lends credence to Obama’s attempt to portray Romney as running for Bush’s third term. Romney’s silence about the errors of the Bush years is, on the other hand, understandable, since many Republicans continue to hold Bush in high esteem as a good man who tried to do a lot of good things. Since most Americans consider Bush a failure, Romney cannot embrace him either. So Bush has been an awkward non-presence in the campaign: the man who was not there.
Instead of an explicit repudiation or an embrace, Romney needs to move beyond the controversies of the Bush era. To do that, he has to alter his critique of Obama. What Romney should say is that our country has problems that have been building since long before Obama took office, and that what’s wrong with Obama is that he has either left them unaddressed or made them worse. The country’s looming debt crisis, its dysfunctional health-care system, and its irrational tax code are three of them. Romney will take on those challenges head-on. Those are the ideas he has been running on, after all.
….and of course, most on the right hated it. The American Thinker:
Hmm. Really? Romney saying that the economic crisis began before Mr. Obama assumed office means that it began under…George W. Bush? Or did we miss something? Why should Mr. Romney be pointing fingers at his fellow Republicans?
The NR editors say that Romney’s silence on the Bush years is “understandable”? But, you know, maybe if Romney could take a few shots at Bush, well, that might not be so bad. But the NR editors appreciate why Romney isn’t going to pull the trigger on that one.
[…]
Most voters, who are living their lives for much more than politics and elections, aren’t likely to tune in to nuances.
Romney may win this critical election — let’s pray he does — but it will be due more to a bad economy, mounting troubles overseas, and the grace of God than to a good strategy, which should be based on rock-solid conservative principles and ideas, and not neutered arguments and finding fault with one’s own.
They were not the only one, One of Lew Rockwell’s writers was not impressed either:
Gee, maybe George Bush was a disaster after all!
The NR sycophants who cheered W’s every crime now realize that he’s a ball and chain. Hilariously, these failed “conservatives” desperately want the Ministry of Truth to work overtime:
“Since most Americans consider Bush a failure, Romney cannot embrace him either. So Bush has been an awkward non-presence in the campaign: the man who was not there. Instead of an explicit repudiation or an embrace, Romney needs to move beyond the controversies of the Bush era.” [Ah — Why do they hate us? Now we know: because Ron Paul made Bush a presence, and calmly exposed his malefactions for all to see.]
A little late, children. Bush’s crimes are not “controversies,” they are realities — but today’s faux conservatives don’t understand metaphysics, they’ve bought into the Trotsky-Kristol-neocon dialectic instead. Nothing is real but power. Hence, Romney must use the Memory Hole, ignore the past, and look to the future.
FORWARD!
Uh, doesn’t that have a familiar ring to it? As in, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee?
Yes, they are always wrong. And no, they will never, ever apologize.
Now that takes talent; when you can manage to get your writings criticized by the grassroots right and by the ultra-libertarian/almost left-wing crowd, at the same time. You must be doing something right. Good job NRO! Also too, it is good advice for Mitt Romney. He can acknowledge mistakes without shooting his own Party. It has been done before and can be done again. It just has to be done the right way.
New Romney Ad: “Too Many Americans”
Disclosure: I am one of those Americans. I have not worked, for someone else; since 2005. We can do better. Which is why I am voting for Mitt Romney in 2012. I hope you do the same.

Nice Deb’s Blog was suspended and is now back
One of the nicest Conservative Bloggers on the planet had her blog taken down over at WordPress.com.
Nice Deb is one of the bloggers, which I can honestly say, that I have never, ever had a problem with, ever. Deb is nice, to everybody; and in this day of blogger egos and people stepping on one another to be someone, is a welcome sight.
I must confess, this was the first I even heard of it; But Kudos to those who jumped into action and got that blog restored.
This is why I self host my own stuff on my own domain, for one; I can have ads here, and I do not have to split the profits with WordPress.com. Also, the only person that is accountable for my content is me. My host could honestly care less about what I write about on here. Something the owner of my host told me himself.
By the way, I do own a small business, with the emphases on SMALL! It is a hosting business; and the link to it, is right here. I only offer shared hosting at the moment. If I had some investment capital, I could offer more, but at the moment, I just do not have it. Anyone interested in help fund a Conservative Christian owned blog hosting company? I mean, the advantage would be this here. You could blog about whatever you wanted and would not have to worry about the Political Correct cops coming to shut your blog down. I have checked into the costs of have a really good hosting service; complete with all of the goodies needed to make it really work; and believe me, it is not cheap at all. This could require some serious investment. However, if there is interest, I can do what is needed, I just need the funding. I would like to be able to help the big bloggers too, not just the little ones.
The problem is, not everyone likes me. 🙁 and some people actually have went out of their way to smear and defame me; so that would make it rough. Plus too, the economy sucks. So, that is another issue. Anyhow, just an idea that I have had for a very long time. I figure that liberals have their blogging service, which was once called soapblox, now it’s called something else. Why can’t we Conservatives have our own?
Just an idea.
Anti-Jihad Bloggers fighting the fight of freedom in NYC
I really do not write about the struggle against radical Muslims and Jihad on this blog; mainly because it is not the focus of this blog. Oh, I will cover something that is big in the headlines about the subject, but I do not solely blog about that subject.
Anyhow, it seems that one of biggest Anti-Jihad warriors in NYC is causing a stir with the Anti-Jihad ads that she has put up in NYC subways is resulting in the haters coming out of woodwork and getting arrested. I do not write about Pamela Geller often, because I really do not know how she quite honestly feels about me; and by that I mean, I do not know if she is buying all the stupidity being written about me or not.
However, I will say this here: I do admire her courage to do what she is doing. I mean, it is one thing to sit and write on a blog; and rip liberals a new one every day. But, it is a whole other world, to literally do the things that she is going. She is in the big fight — the big show, if you want to call it that; when it comes to stuff like this and I admire her for it.
Also too, for those who might think that Geller is simply doing this for a quick buck or something silly like that; allow me to say this: Pamela Geller without question is one of more outspoken voices of the Anti-Jihad movement, there is no doubt about that at all. This is why I have her in my blogroll. However, there is a reason why she is doing what it is that she is doing. She is fighting the fight against radical Islam and Jihad for people like me, who sit here and write against the actions of our Government, whether it be Republican or Democratic Party controlled.
Because if the truth was known folks; if those beltway cretins, from both parties, had their way, the first amendment would be modified to get rid of the non-corporate sites, and yes, that includes bloggers like me. Furthermore, if the liberal left had anything to say about it; Conservatives would have no right to free speech at all. No religions would be criticized at all. Free speech would be chilled to the bone. Heck, Liberal Democrats, like FDR had a “fairness doctrine” in place in broadcast media for years! Why? Because they did not like dissent at all. Thankfully, in the 1980’s; President Ronald Reagan removed that law and now broadcast media is free to express itself and Democrats are open to full dissent in the media. Fox News channel being a great example of that.
In closing: To Pamela Geller, I simply say this: I admire you kid. 
Keep fighting the good fight. It is people like Geller that inspire me to continue doing what I do; despite the fact that there these half-dead vultures who continue to circle this blog and just wait for me to do something that they feel is wrong. Just so they can go and write something about me on some stupid blog somewhere. I have said this a million times on this blog and on my old one. This blog has never, ever been about me at all. I do not do this for any sort fame or to be recognized at all. I simply write the truth as I know it to be and tell the truth about the neo-liberal left and how they have destroyed the once honorable Democratic Party and how now they are trying to destroy America and its very foundations. If in the process of me doing this, a few persons who traffic in identity politics on the left or the right get their feathers ruffled —- tough crap! I have never been one to have any sort of patience for political correctness. This is why I write in the style that I do. This is also why there are people out there who simply do not like me at all. Which comes with territory, and I am perfectly fine with that. I have my political positions and I realize that not everyone is going to agree with me.
So, to Pamela Geller, go get ’em gal and don’t let the bastards on the left or the right get you down.
Here is a song for the warriors like Pam Geller and those like her fighting the fight:

Memo to the Romney Campaign: Please, buck up!
Alright, time to go George Patton on these idiots. But first the story:
8:42 p.m. | Updated SALT LAKE CITY – Mitt Romney’s traveling press secretary walked to the back of the candidate’s plane midflight on Tuesday and teasingly asked a pair of journalists in an exit row if they were “willing and able to assist in case of an emergency.”
Under the circumstances, it was hard to tell whether it was a question or a request.
A palpably gloomy and openly frustrated mood has begun to creep into Mr. Romney’s campaign for president. Well practiced in the art of lurching from public relations crisis to public relations crisis, his team seemed to reach its limit as it digested a ubiquitous set of video clips that showed their boss candidly describing nearly half of the country’s population as government-dependent “victims,” and saying that he would “kick the ball down the road” on the biggest foreign policy challenge of the past few decades, the Palestinian-Israeli peace process.
Grim-faced aides acknowledged that it was an unusually dark moment, made worse by the self-inflicted, seemingly avoidable nature of the wound. In low-volume, out-of-the-way conversations, a few of them are now wondering whether victory is still possible and whether they are entering McCain-Palin ticket territory.
It may prove a fleeting anxiety: national polls show the race remains close, even though Mr. Romney trails in some key swing states.
Still, a flustered adviser, describing the mood, said that the campaign was turning into a vulgar, unprintable phrase.

Okay now; Gentleman, your attention please. Now, listen. You did not think that this election was going to be handed to you on some sort of golden platter did you? Nothing is won, without some sort of a fight. The Democrats are just not going to let you walk all over them and hand the election to you. Oh heck no….. They are going to do everything in their power to hold on to that office of President. It is the only thing they have left.
I give you the words, of General Patton:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b5g1avyCSA&hd=1
Gentlemen of the campaign to elect Governor Mitt Romney to President of the United States — this is war, it is war for the soul of America. This is no place, for sidewalk sissies, for pussies who are scared to fight for America. While you are not fighting against the Japanese or Nazi’s. You are fighting against those, who want to change the face of America around the world. As Americans, we cannot allow this to happen. We have a mission and it is about damned time, that you fools who are being paid to put Governor Romney in the White House, to start earning your money that you are paid.
It is at the point, where the Romney campaign is at “do or die.” This is no place to start giving up, this is the stage where we start fighting like hell. The other side knows this and is now really starting to fight. We know who our friends are and it is not the establishment. Therefore, we must fight this battle ourselves. We cannot allow the other side to define us; if we do we will lose this battle and I mean badly. We must fight with what we have; and that is the facts. The truth is on our side and we can win this; if we fight this battle properly.
The media, outside of maybe Fox News Channel and other smaller Conservative outlets — is not our friend and we should not try to pretend otherwise. They are not reliable, they are not to be trusted, and they should only told and given; what they really need to know. The Blogging world is, for the most part, against us. Even some blogs, that call themselves Conservative; are not on our side at all. They too, should be treated with suspicion and distance should be kept from them.
So, in closing: To the staff of the Mitt Romney campaign, I give this request: If you are not in this battle win and I mean win big — get out now, please. The last thing we need, are people that are not interested in winning the war against the progressive liberal left. The last thing we need, are people that will fold like a deck of cards in the face of the liberal elite, and the liberal controlled media.
Gentleman, this is war and if you are not in it, to win it — then leave and let those who want to win, work for that campaign. We have too much at stake here in this election and losing, is just not an option.
God Bless America.
