And yes, I miss him. In fact, I have missed him since the day he passed the keys to the White House to it's current occupant.

LA Times: POTUS Bringing his A-game

Via Moe Lane of RedState

I didn't make it past the second paragraph before finding this gem.

The president's coolness in the face of the right wing's relentlessly anti-intellectual assault on his policies has been impressive as a display of character. But it also has enabled his opponents to subvert his program and erode his popularity.

Must be rough getting you posterior handed to you by a bunch of "anti-intellectual" rubes such as us. Makes one question the supposed intellectual prowess of the POTUS now doesn't it.

Cheney Speaks

The Sith Lord Cheney, leader of the VRWC, requests you watch him on Fox News Sunday. Set your decoder ring to 01-30-41-03-20-89. If that teaser is representative of the entire interview, we are in for some good times.

So, grab your pancakes and eggs and sit in front of the T.V. This Sunday morning watch what everyone will be talking about on Monday.

Have a good weekend,

A quick lesson in projection

When a person has uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, they may project these onto other people, assigning the thoughts or feelings that they need to repress to a convenient alternative target.
Projection may also happen to obliterate attributes of other people with which we are uncomfortable. We assume that they are like us, and in doing so we allow ourselves to ignore those attributes they have with which we are uncomfortable.

We all know that the President and his minions have been claiming that right leaning activists are actually all bought and paid for by the Republican party and AFP. Most of us know that this is not the case but rather just projection from Democrats who are afraid of their own constituents.

The media and the Adminsitration has been going off for a week, or longer, about these astroturf claims.

Well I think the lady doth project too much...and the evidence is below...

Emphasis mine.

As you can see this is a Progressive front group that is putting together an Astroturf campaign. By the way...$600 a week is more than my Wife makes working with disabled children. Just saying.

I have said it before but it is worth saying again...if you want to know what this Administration is doing, simply listen to what they are claiming the other side is doing.

Post Partisan MY ASS!!!

[h/t Steve Foley @ The Minority Report]

President Obama is actively inciting hate against those that disagree with him, not those who created this mess, after all the Democrats have had control of the congress since Jan 2007. Obama is up there preaching like his pal Rev. Wright...using the bully pulpit to cause division rather than unity.

He claimed to be post partisan.

He claimed to be above the fray.

But to those who were paying attention, these sort of union thug tactics are no surprise.

Remember...this is not the first time he has asked his minions to get in the faces of those who dissent with The One™.

WRT Right Wing Extremists and Town Hall meetings...[UPDATED]

I am actually surprised one could find video of "Right Wing Extremists" at any town hall meetings.

After all...most of the Democrats in Congress aren't having town hall meetings because they don't want to deal with their constituents opposition to a plethora of proposals and acts of congressional overeach.

But alas that is not the point of this post...

For the point...



"They're Back"

Yes, you are correct...we are back and we are upset. One reason we are upset is that the Domocrats in Congress, and the Obama Administration as a whole, are calling us terrorists, extremists and many other names in order to marginalize us. And for what, what is it that we have done for them to categorize us as extremists?

Dissent, that's what. We dare to stand up for ourselves, we dare to invoke our rights given by our God and protected by our Constitution.

Once known as the "highest form of patriotism", dissent is now apparently the last bastion of extremism. How quickly the sands shifted.


Make sure to go here* to read more on the changing value of dissent in our Republic. If you want the cliff notes version see Caleb Howe's tweet here.

[UPDATE]

I highly encourage any readers I may have to go see Jeff Emanuel's take on RedState with regard to the hypocrisy exposed by this DNC Ad.

What do you get the man who has everything??

How about a disastrous monstrosity made of icing and cake.





Yes he is the President...but he is so much more.

A community organizer, radical leftist, heck I have even seen reference to him being some sort of god.


Michelle should understand by now that a god gets what he wants...



And I think this is what Bambi really wanted...




What? You don't think he wouldn't like this...do you?

P.S. I don't care how long you hold your breath and kick your legs...you are not getting UHC for you birthday...and no I don't care that all your friends in Cuba have it. If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you also jump....ok bad example, but I think you get the point.
