Challenging someone to prove that Man Made Global Warming exists, offers to give someone 500k for it. Heh.

Daily Republican Quote (since you won't get it in the newspaper)
"Now, instead of working hard so our children can have a better life tomorrow, we are asking our children to work hard so that we don’t have to make tough choices today."

Jindal, O sweet Jindal
What's this? A clean, articulate, Conservative? That's just not possible. But wait, it is. The Louisiana Governor, in the GOP's response to Obama's speech, was right on. I know it's too early to celebrate, but Jindal seems to be just what the Republicans need.
Let me start out by saying that I don't like the tone that he took in the official response to Obama. It was small. I felt like he was talking to some kindergarten kids, and that I was listening in. At first. Then I actually started hearing what he was saying, and realized that he was making complete sense. For weeks, as this Obamunism has been taking affect, my head been screaming no. I haven't been able to put a finger on it. Of course, you can point at the trillions of spending, and the debt left over to children children's children. But I couldn't articulate why I felt that it was wrong. Conservatism was swirling around in my brain, and then suddently, it saw Jindal speaking on screen, and it said yes. Yes to the idea that people, not government, is the answer.
Reuters. The first sentence says it all.
Jindal was also interviewed by the Today Show. First off, I was amazed that they would play Obama's speech in the background while the Governer was talking. Talk about disrespect. That aside, his response to the very tough questions posed to him was right on the money. He started off respectful of Obama, and then just showed where they differed. It's about time that someone stood up and said that enough is enough, and that we aren't going to be snowed anymore. The best point that he brought up was that "there's not enough money in Washington to grow our economy." He's completely right.
Jindal, you shyed away from taking Obama to task, and rightfully so. You don't just go after a sitting President for fun. They have that bully pulpit. But here's the thing. You have tremendously good ammo, and while you are using some of it, I don't think you are being strong enough in your articulation of the mistakes being made by the Obama administration. His ideas are nothing new, it's standard Democrat Party lines, wrapped up and preached by an excellent speaker. We need to point out that Obama has spoken time and time again about how bipartisanship prevailed, and how there was no Pork in this Stimulus Bill. We know that's not the case, and the feeling that I get around Orange County here is that people know it too. Hit on that! I know that you are trying to keep the nice guy routine going, but I'm tired of being trodden on and trounced by the liberal media. Give them some nice juicy soundbites that they can't help but play. What's his approval rating? I keep waiting for the hot air balloon ride that is Obama to come down, but there's strong wind keeping it afloat.
Please, Jindal, be as good as you seem. I'm tired of being excited by politicians, only to have them picked apart by the liberal media, sometimes even rightfully so. If you aren't the new voice of Conservatism, I will be dreadfully disappointed. God bless you sir, and God bless America.

Wow ... just ... wow
Ann Coulter: "But as long as the nation is obsessed with historic milestones, is no one going to remark on what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become speaker of the house? "
I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

Why blame Bush? O, right. He's Republican.

Blame Bush if you will, but this happened a long time before him.

Obamunism
I truly wish I could take credit for this brilliant poster for hope and change. Alas, Soviet Russia (where posters make you!) beat me to it.
You can buy this on a T-shirt at THIS PLACE. The caption for the shirt reads :"Communists and Socialists and Marxists of America unite! We finally have a real president who holds our values dear. We support Obama because he wants to nationalize health care, take money from hard-working Americans to give to the poor, and make one class of people. Hooray for communism! Hooray for Obama! Hooray for Obamunism! (That whole democracy thing just wasn't working out anyway.) So, if you are anti-Obama or anti-Democrat (or just totally in love with Obama's Communism, Socialism, or Marxism...freak,) you want this shirt."
I came across this T-shirt after seeing the poster on Facebook. Just amazing. Of course, I clicked over to BBC news, to see Bernanke decide that IF the government doesn't step in, we are doomed until at least 2010. (See here) Interestingly, the following was said: "Speaking of the concern about bankers benefiting from bail-outs, he added that the country "ought not abstain from saving the financial system just because it rewards people who erred"." There's a reason this is on BBC news, and not CNN.
The solution to this economic downturn is not found in government hands. Not that I'm proclaiming to be an economic genius, but this is common sense. I heard something today as I drove around that really made me think. To summarize, Rush Limbaugh was quoting Ayn Rand as saying something to the affect that the plan of socialists and the ilk are to so bind an industry, hand and foot, so to make survival of it impossible without government intervention. Once this is accomplished, step in and proclaim that the free market and capitalism doesn't work, and that the government needs to be in charge. Does this sound familiar at all? Rush, I don't always agree with you, but ... you can't be far wrong on this one.

Poor Pelosi
I never thought I'd say it. But poor poor Pelosi. Her lips must be blood red from all the lip biting she's been doing to stay silent. Or perhaps the media just isn't listening anymore, in the off chance that someone might read it and think less of the Democrats.
Read THIS LINK to catch up. The link is about the recent cartoon (brilliantly penned), but notice towards the end, where it says "It's about the economic stimulus bill," he added. "If you're going to make that about anybody, it would be [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi, which it's not."
She must be furious. That's the only news outlet that I have seen give her any credit for the bill. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and for sure she's being scorned. Of course, if she wasn't so blatantly shrill in her derision for the Republicans, she would probably be given more credit. As of now, Obama is making like it's all his smooth moves that brought this bi-partisan (ha!) bill about. And Pelosi heads the bill of Democrats who are the most partisan.
I heard on the news (1070) that 67% of people approve of Obama's performance so far. Come again? Practically everyone that I've talked to about it disagree's morally with what's in the bill (read PORK), yet his performace is supposedly up that far? Something smells, and it's not just the "Stimulus" Package.

Ugh
So it seems that Hollywood is at it again. Apparently, because they can act, they can now think too? Ahh, yes, those deep thinkers. The bleating of the offended establishment continued all night at the Oscar's. Sean Penn called upon us to be more ashamed for our votes on Prop 8. Of course, i forget the name of the gay individual who came from a Mormon background, but he comes out (play on words intended) with their real agenda. He said to the anti-8 crowd that in consolation, soon all of America would recognize same sex marriage as a right. California is the next stepping stone, and the inexhaustible political shame train is chugg chugg chugging onward.
Conservatives need to speak up, and point out the facts. The fight is not over! It's not shameful to believe that marriage is defined as between a man and a woman. I strongly believe in the right for political discourse, and have family members who have fought for that right, but this goes too far. When you shamefully plug at every opportunity for your own political agenda, against the will of the people, you go too far. The conveniently overlooked fact is that same sex civil unions have ALL THE RIGHTS that a married couple currently embrace. So what is so wrong about Californians wanting to clearly define marriage? No rights are lost. The commercials are obvious and blatant propaganda for the liberal left to push all of America more and more to the left. We don't agree with you, and just because you might get a judge or two to side with you does not make it right. You say shame on me? I say shame on you for your political shenanigans in such a highly watched and advertised media outlet. We didn't come to see you display your ignorance or complete disregard for the facts. We came to celebrate excellence in acting, not to hear your arrogant blather. Shut it, and just say thank you. We would like you all that much better.

Come again?
So I got an email today saying that John McCain is going to run again in 2012. What? Why? What we need is a good fiscal Republican, conservative to the core. Something completely opposite from our current president. Not someone who's almost more Democrat then Republican. I hope that the GOP realizes that as well.
I hope that the movement to have Palin nominated has legs. She has the power to revitalize the GOP in a way no candidate has done since Reagan.
People know deep down that spending more money is not the way to get our of Recession. You need to cut extra programs, and cut taxes, and who's the party who is better at that? Republicans ... or at least they used to be. Brings me to my pet peeve ... Republicans who are Republican in name only. What happened to the things that we stood for? Conservatism is practically dead, killed from the inside. I don't know when we became unpopular. The right to life, pro-death penalty, strong on Defense, cutting taxes ... all of these things have recently become less then popular. Why? The attitude that the government owes ME something has definitely helped this recession grow.
