Oh, Yes! January 27, 2012

The Tea Party was once again told to sit down and shut up and listen to the “wisdom” of their betters. We were reminded of the litany of Tea Party endorsed candidates in 2010 that didn’t win. Well, here’s a little newsflash to the establishment: without the Tea Party there would have been no historic 2010 victory at all. –Sarah Palin on her Facebook page today

Here’s the link to her page, if you missed it elsewhere. Still making sense!

Makes Me Wonder January 27, 2012

Most environmental extremists will try to tell you that all life is equivalent: “A boy is a dog is a bear is a pig is a man is a boy.”

Yet, every one of these people is rabidly pro-abortion. Huh?? Is it just me? Just makes me wonder, is all.

Like Nothing Else January 26, 2012

I see the GOP establishment is in “kill” mode again. They are showing me, and others, some truths about the GOP establishment that we might have only suspected in times past. The main truth is this: THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT IN WASHINGTON IS JUST AS CROOKED, JUST AS SLIMY, AND JUST AS GUILTY AS ANYONE ON THE LEFT. They have been such for far too long, and appear to have finally arrived at the point where they are convinced they are untouchable, that their misdeeds will never be punished, and that they will be allowed to abide in their cushy sinecures for the rest of time.

The vicious attempts on Newt Gingrich’s political life are proof that they want no office holder in the White House who has even a smidgin of Conservative blood in his/her body. Conservatives in this day and age are observant and determined, and the GOP cronies’ club knows this and is running scared. Either that, or they will do virtually anything to get another member of their club into the White House to guarantee their jobs.

Is it my imagination, or is the PPC (“permanent political class” a lá Sarah Palin) getting more corrupt by the day/week/month/year? Perhaps, to my ignorant eye, they have actually been this crooked all along, and it has taken me this long to figure it out. Whatever it might be, it’s no wonder none of these guys is standing in the way of legislation aimed at controlling the internet. There is a knowledge there that the internet has been the venue that has revealed the most truth about these people, and they will want to shut it down before any more cats escape from any more croaker-sacks.

At any rate, the idea that Newt Gingrich (or even Rick Santorum) might make it to the finals is scaring the PPC like nothing we’ve seen in a long time. It might interest the PPC to know that more and more voters aren’t that concerned about Newt Gingrich’s past. He has confessed sincerely, repented, changed his life, and moved on. If the political establishment in Washington hates him, that’s fine with us. We don’t WANT anybody in there who is friends with this bunch of turncoats. If they hate him, It means he’s making a lot of cronies nervous, and that is GOOD news!

It’s awfully early in the process to begin with these kinds of attacks. It might signal a couple of things: It might mean that they are truly frightened that Newt will take Florida, and leave their slick-haired golden boy in the dust, or they are getting this stuff out of the way now to clear the way for worse attacks later. Whatever their reasons are, I just pray that Newt can hang on and see this through. The Augean Stables needed a full river to flush them clean, and I suspect that the halls of government aren’t much more sanitary. I hope Newt knows some good hydraulics engineers…

Signs Of LIFE January 24, 2012

Elizabeth (nice name, that!) Scalia, over at The Anchoress blog, has passed on a lot of beautiful images from the March For Life in Washington this last weekend. The miserable weather (what else do we usually have the third week in January?) didn’t keep them away, and estimates of attendance range from 40,000 to nearly half a million.

And, here’s a report from San Francisco. Beautiful weather, beautiful people.

Wrong Number January 24, 2012

My phone rang before I was ready to get up and start my day, so I let the machine pick up. Here is what I heard when I played it back later:

“Hi, Ruth Ann. This is (garbled). We’re on our way up to get your mom out of jail. I’ll meet you there with the money. Talk to you later, bye…”

I’m Just Saying… January 21, 2012

I was born and raised Mormon. I lived in Utah for more than fifteen years, including the entire decade of the the Fifties. It was, for a child, the absolute BEST place in the world to grow up, and my memories are all in high color. I remember only a few things that were “bad” about that time. I lived there again in the Nineties, and noticed a lot of changes. But this information is only by way of providing my “chops” to speak about Mormons.

There are, as in any subculture in the country, “good” Mormons, and “bad” Mormons. In Utah, all our neighbors, of course, were “good” Mormons. They were friendly, patriotic, helpful, self-sufficient, busy, and honest. But they helped me to see which people there could be classed as the “bad” type Mormon, and I knew a few of those, too.

One of the characteristics of Mormon faith is support for members of the congregation. This is such a strong motivator, that it can easily be corrupted into something almost frightening, like the loyalty of mobsters to their organization. Harry Reid and Mitt Romney are the icons of this outlook, in my eyes. (This is strictly my own opinion, please understand.) But these two men personify the cronies of the LDS heirarchy. My dad was a Ward Bishop and a Stake President, but even so, he was not highly placed enough to move into the closed and close-knit group of LDS hardcore. This hardcore group consists of those Mormon men who know the church is built on lies. They are the keepers of numerous physical proofs against them (acquired however it can be gotten, then squirreled away to keep the truth out of the view of the “pay, pray, and obey” membership). They are the hypocrites who know the beliefs are based on lies, but continue to force them on the low-level membership in order to protect their income stream.

I’m not saying that Mormons as a group are crooked, by any means. I still have several family members who remain in the LDS church, and the good Mormons I know are honest and God-fearing.

But I’m telling you, that while I would gladly place my life into the hands of a GOOD Mormon, I wouldn’t trust a BAD Mormon as far as I could throw him. I have experience with these people, and if you are interested, we can discuss it privately later. We all know that good people and bad can be found in any faith, any location, any organization, and under any circumstances, obviously. But seeing these guys in action is confirmation that bad Mormons are really bad people, no matter what kind of façade they have projected. They are clannish, and they protect each other no matter what. If lying to an outsider protects their secrets, their interests, and their crookedness, they do it without a qualm. If undercutting non-Mormon competition is possible, it will be done. Frequently, jobs will be given to members, and Catholics and others need not apply. When you look at Harry Reid and Willard Romney, you are seeing BAD Mormons at their worst.

I’m just saying…

One Knight January 20, 2012

What does the excitement over Newt Gingrich’s feisty responses to crony-media presstitutes signify for Conservatives? If one is a real conservative, it is an encouraging sign that the spark of patriotic active combat is still present in the hearts of some plucky people. Newt, who has a real brain with working cells that rub together effortlessly, is always at least twice as smart as the crony-media flunkies the current rodent has turned on Conservative voters.

Always in the past, the c/r has gotten into public offices by eliminating the competition. It has worked at least twice before, and he is convinced that three is the charm he needs to “turn this country around.” The biggest weapon in his arsenal is his crony media and their willingness to go anywhere, say/do anything, and dig up any scandal, real or trumped-up, they can find to discredit any competition that might stand in the way of the c/r getting his way yet again.

It’s always exciting to see somebody show a little resistance to the current rodent’s manipulations. Most often, unfortunately, presumed competition to his stated goals simply backs down when faced with any strong attack from the left, leaving absolutely no one on the Right to do battle with the destroyers.

Newt Gingrich came to town in the Nineties with the Contract With America, and was 100% successful in implementing every item on that agenda. We are blessed to have such a courageous and intellectually well-armed champion to fight on our side again. We are blessed that he still feels up to the challenge, and that in the days of America’s darkest and deepest peril since the Revolution, he still steps forward when he hears the call to arms.

As I talk to people about his responses to the media whores, I am always gratified by what I hear. People are beginning to feel a bit of hope and optimism about America’s future, as Newt’s vorpal blade goes “snicker-snack!” on the cheesy low blows from the crony media.

As I have said before, Newt, should he be successful in this battle, deserves our support, if for no other reason than he is the knight who consistently takes the battle to the enemy, and if he is going to wage a battle in our behalf for everything we believe in, we should at least grant him the dignity of looking beyond his past personal bad choices and decisions, and give him as much support as we can. I don’t believe he has been deliberately dishonest; there are just some things people would prefer to remain private. Of course, any candidate for public office has to expect these things to be exposed, either by themselves at the outset, or by their opponents later, when they can be expected to do more damage.

I hope his courage inspires the others on the right to return fire with the same kind of enthusiasm, persistence, and diligence, and that the presumed-insurmountable barrier of the mainstream crony media will be breached by a whole army of thinking, articulate fighters who have chosen to follow Newt’s example.

Even if he doesn’t win the oval office, he will at least have shown the Conservatives in this country that it IS possible to fight that phalanx of crony mediots and prevail, and perhaps to inspire more fighters to come forward in the future, to carry the battle to the enemy.

One short year is all we have…

Another Home Run January 19, 2012

Anybody with an eye or an ear has been made aware of the brouhaha being made over Newt Gingrich’s past personal life. As a repentant sinner who is still struggling and still failing, I can understand his position. I have always maintained that anyone who attempts to run for office better have a squeaky-clean past or somebody on the other side is going to try to expose it and use it as a weapon against them. Since most of us have personal past baggage of one kind or another, it’s going to be difficult to find the perfect ones among us to choose for candidates for high public office.

The enemamedia is interested ONLY in distracting the public from the utter failure to of the current rodent to lead or govern. The ugly eagerness of the leftist media to continue to beat Newt Gingrich over the head with his past is pathetic and obvious, but they have become addicted to the kool-aid and couldn’t stop, even if they wished to. It doesn’t matter how many witnesses he produces to vouch for him, They won’t be happy until nobody is watching the current rodent and his minions deliberately dismantling and destroying the United States.

CNN had their “Debate of the Year” tonight, and the very first question was asked of Newt regarding the questionable interview given by his bitter ex-wife. Here is Newt’s response.

I want to say that Newt Gingrich, regardless of his past weaknesses, has tried to repair his life, and it is unseemly and cowardly of the leftist media to continue to harp on this distraction while other, more important information is being ignored by them, all for the purpose of protecting the poseur who is in office.

Wooot, Newt! January 16, 2012

There was a debate tonight. Following my usual procedure for such events, I didn’t watch.

Look at what I missed…

Questions That Answer Themselves January 16, 2012

“How much worse can it get?”
“What could go wrong?”
“Isn’t America too big to fail?”
“Our government would never do something like that, would it??”

Feel free to add any more you can think of.
