Median Home prices are falling,  foreclosures are rising,  insurance rates are going up (while coverage is declining),  grocery prices are rising, livestock feed prices are going up, existing taxes are going up, tax credits are being axed, new fees are being added to many services, wages are static, declining or not keeping up with inflation, our government officials are increasingly corrupt (seriously, folks – how can BO keep a straight face when he appoints a tax cheat to run the treasury dept.?), and EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE, IT’S ALL BUSH’S FAULT AND THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG.

I swear, if I see that unicorn, I am going to shoot the S.O.B. and barbecue him.

Unicorn, the other white meat.

VOTE!!!

or you won’t be allowed to bitch for four years.

Don’t say you weren’t warned…

Cheat, Lie and Steal…

They must be dimicrats….

The Fairfax County Registrar (and possibly other Registrars in Virginia) is rejecting most Federal Write-in Absentee Ballots (FWAB) cast by our men and women in uniform.  Is it a coincidence that all of the people involved in this high handed attempt to suppress the vote of our military men and women (who tend to be largely, get this, Republican supporters) seem to be Dimicrats and Osama Obama supporters?

Visit CJ at A Soldiers Perspective for more on the story.

“As long as I count the votes, what are you going to do about it?”

William Marcy Tweed, Tammany Hall boss

We can’t do better than this?…

The population of the United States is over 300,000,000 and we can’t do better than this for our presidential election?

  • Clinton – I’m sorry, if you’re going to tell a lie in public, at least make sure no one can check your facts. If you follow that lie, with another whopper, maybe you need a reality check. You won’t be answering my phone…
  • Obama – If you go to a church for 20 some odd years, doesn’t that mean that you kind of, sort of, maybe, hold the same views as the people who are running the church (ie the preacher)? So, in my view this makes him either a liar or a hypocrite. What ever…
  • McCain – In 1999, McCain supported Roe V Wade. In 2007, he opposed it. In 1984 he voted for H.R.5490, “An amendment to define “person” as including unborn children from the moment of conception. Yet he also believes that embryonic stem cell research should be supported. He says the nations first priority should be border security, yet wants to grant citizenship to the estimated 12–20 million illegal aliens in the US. So, does he have a split personality, or does he just say what he thinks his audience wants to hear? Either way, he needs to lead, follow or get out of the way. (As an aside, even though he is a veteran himself, his treatment of veterans is down right despicable. I can not bring myself, in good conscience, to vote for a person who uses injured soldiers for “photo ops”.)

If we can’t find someone, ANYONE, who can do better than these three, we are headed for a train wreck. Liars, hypocrites and flip flops. I. Am. Disgusted.

If you stick your head in the sand…

Someone will kick your ass.

Ignore the problem long enough and it will go away (NOT).

So why do the people in charge of the country think that they can print money, spend money, raise taxes, bankroll irresponsible companies, and everything will be FINE, JUST FINE. We seem to be fixing a gaping wound with a bandaid. It may look pretty, but eventually, we will bleed to death.

“Pay no attention to the tanks and the bombs, everything is JUST FINE. The infidels are committing suicide at the city gates.” Quote attributed to “Baghdad Bob” upon the taking of Baghdad by American forces. I don’t know if anyone ever said this, or if it is just a made up quote. Maybe the Iraqi minister in information has a new job in Washington. Wouldn’t surprise me.
