  • So what do you think the explaination is for Obama cancelling the National Day of Prayer Ceremony at the?

    The White house.... but then having a Ramadan dinner at the White House announcing that he is in full favor of building a Mosque near the World Trade Center site? And of course, the majority of Americans are against the president's opinion AGAIN.

    So basically you thumb your nose at an event that was started by a religion that this county was founded on.... buuut you not only welcome an Islamic based event to the White House, you proudly announce that you are in favor of a Mosque built on the site where the landing gear hit from one of the planes that hit the WTC.

    Is the President so naive as to think that there will not be periodic celebration in the Islamic Center about the destruction of the WTC? Are liberls that naive?

  • Why is it when Obama got elected, liberals boasted about Obama's approval rating?

    And told everyone that really saw Obama for who he really was that "look at the amount of people that approve of him and get over it"

    Now less than two years after that boasting the liberals are dead silent on his approval percentage?

    So do you stick by your statements liberals? If so.. look at his approval ratings and get over it.

  • Why don't the democrats pay for health care reform, cap and trade, and the trillion dollar failed stimulus?

    Themselves?

    There were millions of people on the streets all across America against them. I think it is safe to say that it was WRONG. It really takes someone of very low intelligence to not believe it. But the republicans tried to warn you.

    So why should republicans have to pay for a screwup that isn't ours? They wanted this extreme deficit, why don't they pay for it out of their taxes themselves. Take 25% of the income of everyone who voted for Obama, Reid, and Pelosi and use that to help pay for the failed stumulus.

    The same goes for the bailout.

    democrats should have to pay MORE taxes than republicans, to cover the Obama mistakes. And republicans should have their taxes reduced, since we were against it from the start. It is not our fault.

  • If Obama's rallying cry and campaign slogan was "Change we can Believe in"?

    then why do democrats scramble to bring up something Bush did to defend a lie, bonehead decision, ignorant comment, or socialist agenda that Obama has brought up? I thought it was all about change? Didn't change mean that all that stuff was in the past? Remember the rosy promises of no pork projects? no lobbyists in his administration? Ceiling of 8% unemployment? Absolutely no taxes on the middle class? Making seniors that make under 50k tax exempt? Boy wasn't that a scam?

  • So how do Obama supporters explain the clip where Obama blasted Bush for trying to rush bills through congress?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOnYnIDX0Eg

    Little hypocritical isn't it? Right from the mouth of Obama.

    "When you rush these budgets that are a foot high.. and nobody has any idea what's in them and nobody has read them and they get rushed through without any deliberation or debate then these kinds of things happen" And then he rants on about what happened in the Patriot Act before he says this "THAT PEOPLE WERE INTIMIDATED BY THE ADMINISTRATION".

    Randi Rhodes just ATE that up.

    BUUUTTTTT now.. we get the stimulus bill... that was a foot high and nobody had any idea what was in it... the cap and trade bill.. which is a foot high and nobody has any idea what is in it... and the health care bill... that is a foot high and nobody has any idea what is in it. And Obama is pushing as hard as he can to get them through.

    How's that for change? Still waiting for that aren't we Dems?

  • How many of you libs agree with John Conyers saying it's stupid to read the bills before they are voted on?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t32ckkdlcao&feature...

    He even mocks other representatives that demand other representatives read it. How hilarious is that? What do you think of this gem from your representative Michigan folks?

    And isn't Conyers a lawyer by profession? So why does he need two more to help him with it? Does he suck as a lawyer that bad?

  • So what is the offical lib response to another Obama campagn promise about to be broken?

    "If you are a family making less that 250k a year, you will not see your taxes go up, not your capital gains tax.. not your income tax... not your payroll tax..NO TAXES. You taxes will not go up."

    And if you want to laugh... just really want to laugh... listen to this clip from the start to about 40 seconds. How do you defend this libs?

  • Is this why Obama screens his town hall crowd and hand picks questions?

    Don't you libs realize how stupid the thought of the health care plan making money is absurd?? This is the reaction that he would get when he would push this crap in a REAL town hall meeting.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgalO6T6jfI&feature...

    This is the thought of these liberals that want this passed so bad... that it is going have a SURPLUS after several years. And they haven't even read the bill! These are the leaders you want in congress?? People that pass bills without reading it? Even Obama hasn't read it!! Just like the failing stimulus bill.. No one read it...and now it's failing. Lesson learned right? Nope.. Lets push through over 1000 pages of spending without reading it. What a sad state of affairs

  • So can any liberals tell me of one single government run social program that has been ran well?

    Social Security.. nearly bankrupt and the executives of the administration are taking vacations in Arizona on the taxpayers dime. What about Medicaid? Nearly Bankrupt. What about Social Welfare? Has to borrow money from other departments to make the bills.

    So how is Universal Healthcare going to "save" us money again? Government can't fix social security, Medicare or anything else.. but they are experts on Healthcare all the sudden? Do you not see how stupid of a conclusion that is? How is this going to be any different?

  • If govt run health care is so great... why is there so much resisitance by Congress adopt it for their plan?

    if it passes? Since this reform is so great and efficient according to the liberals.. wouldn't it reduce cost to taxpayers for the president.. House Members.. Senate.. Supreme Court.. and all their staff switch to it?? Plus it takes the insurance contracts of the upper level of federal government away from big bad horrible corporations that the liberals despise wouldn't it??

    Can you explain this to me libs... 40+ Republicans led by Republican John Fleming of Louisana said that this should happen if the bill passes. You dare to guess how many Dems who get all those federal benefits from the big bad corportations are for signing on for it? As of the 16th of July.. IT WAS NONE! Not one liberal congressman was for it as of that date.

    Why? If it is soooo great and sooo efficient.. why do they not want it for them and their families? It could save the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars! Surely it's not because they are rich liberals that take their extravigant benefits at the cost of taxpayers (which I thought liberals despise) and don't want the common man's insurance?

    What say ye? This question should get asked over and over until libs can give a straight answer because I forsee nothing but bashing as usual.

  • how should I prune this Autumn Purple Ash tree this winter?

    I have planted a Autumn Purple Ash tree about 40 feet away from an October Glory Maple tree in my front yard. The tree right now is about 3 to 3.5 feet tall. Problem is.. last spring.. which was the first spring it was in the ground.. it came a late frost. I covered the tree that night with an extra large garbage bag propped up off the tree with wooden stakes. One of the wooden stakes fell over that night and the bag fell on top of the tree. The next morning the green shoot that was coming directly out of the top of the tree (about 6 inches) had fell over and was turning brown where it was bent. I tried to brace it and straighten it up but it turned brown above that place it was bent. So I cut the shoot off.

    Now it's not growing up but there are 3-4 shoots coming out from the top of the tree spreading out. How can I prune the tree late this fall to get the tree growing straight again? The tree is healthy and has twice as many leaves this year as last and I put Miracle Gro tree stakes 2 feet away from the trunk every fall and spring as I do with all the trees (around the drip line for the larger ones) in the front yard.

  • Why is Gore still spreading his lies about Global Warming intead of trying to?

    Get the two reporters released from N Korea since they work for Current TV that Gore is a big supporter of?

    Ross Perot took it upon himself to free workers from his company EDS from Iran by organizing his own band of special forces soldiers.

    "Just prior to the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the government of Iran imprisoned two EDS employees in a contract dispute. Perot organized and sponsored a successful rescue. The rescue team was led by retired U.S. Army Special Forces Colonel Arthur D. ('Bull') Simons. When the team couldn't find a way to extract their two prisoners, they decided to wait for a mob of pro-Ayatollah revolutionaries to storm the jail and free all 10,000 inmates, many of whom were political prisoners. The two prisoners then connected with the rescue team, and the team spirited them out of Iran via a risky border crossing into Turkey. The exploit was recounted in a book, On Wings of Eagles by Ken Follett, which became a best-seller. In the 1986 miniseries, Perot was portrayed by Richard Crenna."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Perot

    Is Gore to spineless to at least try to help them? Or does spreading lies for money mean more to him?

  • Since the first Obama stimulus was compared to the New Deal?

    And Obama has been compared to FDR.. then why won't Obama take the notion of a 2nd stimulus off the table?

    The New Deal would cost around 500 billion in today's dollars when adjusted for inflation. So Obama can't assure he will get the job done with 787 billion? What happened there? Why can't he get it done? Are in worse times than the Great Depression? of course not.

    So libs... what are the excuses for Obama's notion that a second stimulus may be needed other than the obvious truth that the money has mostly been wasted on projects that will not create job growth?

    Today on ABCNews.com’s “Top Line,” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said a second stimulus is “probably needed,” and predicted that Congress is likely to act before the end of the year to inject even more federal dollars into the economy.

    http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2009/07/dem-senat...

    Said Whitehouse: “I think that it is probably needed. We’re going to need to have some further discussion. It will probably take place towards the end of the year and we want to take a look at the economic conditions at the time. But it certainly should be on the table at this point.”

  • Obama said stimulus is working and the economy is getting better... Biden said they misjudged the economy?

    when asked why we are not seeing any results. So who is wrong democrats? Why would Biden be saying that they misjudged how bad the economy was if things were working out? If the stimulus was working like Obama said it was... wouldn't he be patting himself on the back saying how they are turning things around too?

    And didn't they say that we are in the worst economy since The Great Depression?? So they are saying that they misjudged how bad the economy is when they compared it to a time when there was over 30% unemployment?? How can that be??

    So which one is the idiot here? Both??

  • Why is a flyover of New York in Air Force 1 ok but a military flyover of the Pentagon was denied?

    So flying Air Force 1 Low and Slow over New York is a great publicity stunt but a 4th of July flyover of the Pentagon was axed? Why? Could it be because it was planned by the organizers of the God and County Family Organization? The Pentagon says it was. They said they refused because it "was a Christian event"

    So it's fine to deny this request because it was a "Christian Event" But it's perfectly fine to host a Gay and Lesbian event at the White House?
