Democrats Fighting the "Good Fight", for "Truth, Justice, and the American Way"!

"it is a plain fact of American political life today that Democrats are completely dependent on black votes. The day African Americans stop casting 80 to 95 percent of their votes for Democrats is the day Democrats stop winning elections."
- Mona Charen, Do-Gooders


In the Age of Obama, racism has no place in America. Therefore, if a white girl wins a beauty pageant at a historically all-black university, it will be celebrated as a historic first; or, not made a big deal of at all, since she would have been judged upon the merits of her beauty, regardless of the color of her skin. As the previous pageant winner, Patrece Parson, expresses it, she was

‘very shocked’ at the judge’s choice of a white woman, adding: ‘We’ve never had one before’.

Hmmm....I wonder if she had the same "very shocked" reaction at the election of Barack Obama to the highest office in the land, as "we've never had one before" [i.e., a "black" president].

In Kinston North Carolina, in Barack's America, comes news of the following:

Voters in this small city decided overwhelmingly last year to do away with the party affiliation of candidates in local elections, but the Obama administration recently overruled the electorate and decided that equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without the Democratic Party.

DNC Rabid Response Ad Attacks Ordinary Americans as fringie wingnuts with pitchfork and torches

"So they called out 'the Mob'"

LMAO!

Not a good strategy, imo. Painting your average citizen of being manipulated by the RNC attack machine, as if Americans on both sides don't have legitimate concerns. It's out-of-touch condescension. As Hugh Hewitt suggests, we should be paying for this ad:

The RINO who finally came out of the closet....

....he'll be a pain in their arse, as well.

The Republican Party Needs an Image Make-Over

If Republicans could have swayed even 30% of the black vote, we would have our first female vice president, today.



The conservative message needs a better delivery system than the one we've had. The Democratic Party has successfully painted Republicans as the party of racists, bigots, and the wealthy class who oppress the poor.

If conservative ideology were better understood, if the Republican Party were more faithful to conservatism, then there's no reason why we should ever lose another election ever again.

Family Guy Pulls the Nazi Card

This is nothing new:

But it never ceases to disgust me. Humor is fine; but this is slanderous garbage.

It contributes to the stigmatization that the Republican Party is the party of racists and fascists.

What's "funny", too, is that the Bush Administration has probably been the most pro-Israel American presidency we've ever had; and in Senator Obama's camp of foreign policy advisors (and supporters like Louis Farrakhan and Jimmy Carter), you'll find those who have been anti-Israel, like Zbigniew Brzezinski, Robert Malley, Samantha Power (had to be let go after insulting Clinton in the primaries) and Susan Rice.

It amazes me how many Jewish liberals still support the Democratic Party, voting against their pro-Israel interests. Not everyone in the Democratic Party is anti-Israel; but there's no question that when it comes to those who are pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel, they overwhelmingly are throwing stones from the left side of the political spectrum.

President Bush the Conservative Liberal

I have said to Mr. McCain that I admire all he has done. I have some concerns about the direction that the party has taken in recent years. It has moved more to the right than I would like to see it, but that’s a choice the party makes.
- Colin Powell, Former Secretary of State under the Bush Administration, on Meet the Press, Sunday October 19, 2008

Photo credit: Reuters/Kevin Lamarque (Hat tip: Skyepuppy)


What did Colin Powell have in mind, exactly, in stating his belief that the Republican Party has moved further starboard? Expansion of government and uncontrolled spending? Dramatic Increases in entitlement programs, such as social security, food stamps, and medicare drug benefit? Dramatic increase in education spendings ("I believe that education is the new civil right."- President Bush) under the current president? Faith-based intitiatives aimed at benefiting the poor? A soft "compassionate conservative" approach by the Administration in dealing with illegal immigration and immigration reform? More financial relief to fight AIDS in Africa as well as helping local farmers in Africa, doing more to help people living in Africa than any other previous U.S. president?

President Bush has behaved rather liberally on not just spending, but on supporting programs that have been beneficial to minority groups.

Rove recommended books to Bush to read, including Murray Myron's The Dream and the Nightmare and Marvin Olasky's The Tragedy of American Compassion. Both mirrored Bush's thoughts, arguing that the feel-good, permissive values of the 1960s undermined the strength of families and helped create dependency on government, ultimately harming the disadvantaged classes. As an antidote, Bush, in discussions with Myron, Olasky, and others, fashioned the concept of "compassionate conservativism."

It was not a catchy phrase, and conservatives didn't like it because it implied that there was something wrong with being a conservative- like calling someone a realistic liberal. But the phrase accurately described Bush's philosophy. His goal was to help people. He believed the best way to do that was to develop government programs and policies that allowed them to help themselves. He did not see government as an enemy, as traditional conservatives did. But he did not believe the solution to problems was necessarily to throw money around.

The ACORN Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree, Does It?

Irony of ironies, huh?

The page is from the children's indoctrination book, Why Mommy is a Democrat. They have a new one that is so unimaginative, it looks like it was written by a 5 year old.

The Solution to America's Economy is Not Putting More Democrats Into Office

Just whose side are these fools on:

Why, after all the assistance we've given to Iraq over the past five years, was the first major Iraqi oil deal signed with China and not with an American or even a western company? The answer is, in part, because three Democratic senators intervened in Iraqi domestic politics earlier this year to prevent Iraq from signing short-term agreements with Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total, Chevron, and BP.

The Iraqi government was poised to sign no-bid contracts with those firms this summer to help make immediate and needed improvements in Iraq's oil infrastructure. The result would have been significant foreign investment in Iraq, an expansion of Iraqi government revenues, and an increase in the global supply of oil. One would have thought that leading Democratic senators who claim to be interested in finding other sources of funding to replace American dollars in Iraq, in helping Iraq spend its own money on its own people, and in lowering the price of gasoline for American citizens, would have been all for it. Instead, Senators Chuck Schumer, John Kerry, and Claire McCaskill wrote a letter to Secretary of State Rice asking her "to persuade the GOI [Government of Iraq] to refrain from signing contracts with multinational oil companies until a hydrocarbon law is in effect in Iraq." The Bush administration wisely refused to do so, but the resulting media hooraw in Iraq led to the cancellation of the contracts, and helps to explain why Iraq is doing oil deals instead with China.

Bush Blame Alert!

Bush's fault, right? Oh, those silly Dems....

And looked for something super,
I clicked the mouse key
And then shouted with GLEE!

FOR I SAW A BLOGPOST WHILE IN MY PAJAMA!

Ok, I admit not too imaginative of me. But go take a look at the Seussification of Mike's America.

“Together we have presented the case for change.”

In 2004, wasn't the KerryEdwards slogan, "Hope is on its way"?





There is something exciting about "change". It's the "grass-must-be-greener-on-the-other-side"- notion. But is change really what America wants?

Is change what America needs?

Why Democrats are Childish

For those who didn't read my comment in the previous post, my computer has given up on me after 7 years of consistent service. I'm going to try and take it in today and see if the cost of repairs is worth more than investment in a new one. It may be time...

Meanwhile, posting will be light (I'm on a friend's computer now). I have a few pre-made in the drafts section. For current event coverage, Flopping Aces is always a good daily place to go to (not that all of you blog readers don't know where to go to for the best in alternative media; I am partisanly partial to it, after all. Plus, I was just over there, and Curt and his deputized contributors have a whole series of good stuff I'll be printing out to read at work).

The following is a post I made about 2 or 3 years ago, but which I never published, as it was old news when I discovered it:

Last night, while going through the mail on my gmail account, something caught my eye: it was an ad.

I cut and pasted the link and.....isn't this just heartwarming:



Rotflmao!!! I had completely missed this! I think the book came out a year ago. About the book:

Why Mommy is a Democrat brings to life the core values of the Democratic party in ways that young children will easily understand and thoroughly enjoy. Using plain and non-judgmental language, along with warm and whimsical illustrations, this colorful 28-page paperback depicts the Democratic principles of fairness, tolerance, peace, and concern for the well-being of others. It's a great way for parents to gently communicate their commitment to these principles and explain their support for the party.

Why Mommy is a Democrat may
look like a traditional children's
book, but it definitely isn't just for
children. With numerous subtle
(and not-so-subtle) satirical swipes
at the Bush administration and
the Republican party,Why Mommy
will appeal to Democrats of all
ages!

Finally, a portion of the profits will
be donated to Democratic
candidates and party
organizations, so your purchase
will help make an immediate
difference!

Since it was a Google ad that brought this wonderful book to my attention, I Googled to see what people have had to say about it.

From the testimonials page:

"A wonderful story to show my son what REAL moral values are."- Erin White-Johnson, Bakersfield, CA


"In a vivid way, this book shows Democrats as still being interested in solving our real problems: hunger, homelessness, war, healthcare. How refreshing!"-Bill White, Longmonts, CO


"The book is charming- with a message even a child can enjoy and understand."- Debbie Brennan, Moss Beach, CA

Here are some alternative book reviews:

This is definitely slated for the fiction section. If would really be best in a section devoted to various forms of propaganda. This book is all about the indoctrination of young minds, something the libs know a lot about.-Museum of Left Wing Lunacy

That was my post, that never got published. I've since seen others blog this as well.

Last Tuesday night, while reading an email from Mike's America, I noticed a "sponsored link" ad at the top in my gmail:




Buwahahaha!!!! This is now on my Christmas wish list. I actually ordered Why Mommy is a Democrat from Amazon, as well as Help! Mom! There are Liberals Under My Bed.




The Democratic Presidential frontrunner:

Nice.

I got those books over a year ago, but never even opened them yet. Now I have to figure out where I stashed them.

From the samples of the new book (click to enlarge image):







I love it! I know "progressive" liberals like to believe they are "free-thinkers", sophisticated and intellectual; but really, I find much of their worldview "childish" and idealistic without practicality. Quixotic. They address issues of poverty, homelessness, war, etc. by tilting at windmills, rather than perceiving the real problems. They "think" with their emotions; not rationality.

Yes, I generalize; and yes, I know the same is said by "them" about "us". And sometimes, they even have a point. After all, this itself is a childish post, mocking the childish worldview of Democrats.

Hope I've given you some ideas on some stocking stuffers!

Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama on Thursday night at the debate in Las Vegas

Photo by Isaac Brekken for The New York Times (captioning courtesy of wordsmith)

"what the American people are looking for right now is straight answers to tough questions, and that is not what we've seen out of Senator Clinton on a host of issues."
- Senator Barack Obama answering a question fielded to him by CNN plant Wolf Blitzer at last night's Democratic debate in Nevada

"I don't mind taking hits on my record, on issues, but when somebody starts throwing mud, at least we can hope that it's both accurate and not right out of the Republican playbook,"
-Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton

Other excerpts from today's Washington Post:

Asked whether she supports giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants -- the question she flubbed on Oct. 30 -- Clinton simply said "No,"

Wishy-washy flip-flop. Translation: She was sorta for it before she is now against it.

Clinton talked at length about her role as a female candidate, saying she had not played the "gender card." Pressed to explain why, in recent weeks, she had described the campaign as a "boys' club," Clinton paused and looked at the questioner. "Well, it is clear, I think, from women's experiences that from time to time, there may be some impediments," she said.

Asked whether she is exploiting her status as a woman, Clinton said: "I'm not exploiting anything at all. I'm not playing, as some people say, the gender card here in Las Vegas. I'm just trying to play the winning card." She added: "People are not attacking me because I'm a woman. They're attacking me because I'm ahead."

C'mon, Hillary.....keep it simple. Keep it simple.

Just a wee little blog post, throwing mud right out of my "Republican Playbook".

After all: I'm a Republican plant off the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy Plantation. And you know what I'm talking about.

Perhaps Washington needs Benchmarks of Their Own?

After all, the Iraq Parliament has passed more legislation than our own Democratic Party-led Congress; and as President Bush quipped, we've had over 200 years of practice!

John Campbell:

So far, the House of Representatives this year has taken over 1,000 separate votes which has surpassed the most recorded votes ever in the history of Congress. We also have been "in session" voting for 146 days so far, which is also headed to a record number of days in Washington, DC. So, that's the input.

But what about the output? So far, only 107 bills have been signed into law. Over half of these were either naming something (like a post office) or extending an existing law that was scheduled to expire. several more were simple land transfers from government to government. National Review has suggested that has been only one piece of legislation of any significance that has passed and been signed into law which was the increase in the minimum wage. This Congress is on track to pass the fewest bills since electronic records have been kept. Furthermore, Congress has failed to send a single appropriations (budget/spending) bill to the President after a full month into the fiscal year. The is the first time Congress has failed to do so since 1987.

So, arguably, this Congress has been the least productive Congress ever.
