A loyal reader sent this in: Obama has made a habit of blaming everything that has gone wrong during his Administration on his immediate predecessor. This will be fun to watch for a little bit, as we all circle and swirl around the drain if Obama get re-elected… (H/T: Dan)
and we have three. Ivan and Kiah are in the pix; just can’t find one with them with Meeka, the newest that is inbetween the two in size. Ivan is 15 years old and we almost lost him about 6 months ago to what appeared to be kidney failure (which is why we got Meeka … Read more
John is one of the few independent professional bloggers that I know and his first blog, RightWingNews, was one of the first of the national level blogs that started linking to us when we opened the doors here at GraniteGrok. He was also a favorite guest on our radio show “Meet The New Press”. Since … Read more
I watched Susan Rice, Obama’s Ambassador to the UN on the Sunday morning shows making a complete asshat of herself by: By even trying to try to make us all believe that some poorly done movie short could be the sole reason for her fellow Ambassador’s assassination (really, what kind of a “protest” comes fully … Read more
We’re waiting…..you cannot vote “Present” on this 3am call or more people will be killed on your watch… (H/T: Instapundit)
It’s not the first time that reports have reached my ears of obvious political bias in the classrooms of the Merrimack School System. Tales of Middle School English teachers using their classrooms to promote the “science” of global warming we’re not uncommon, and while annoying not prevalent enough to demand action. The most recent circumstance … Read more
This more or less speaks for itself. Feel free to form up into work groups and report back after lunch. Or you could just lean back in your chair and bask in the glow of alternative media (aka-choices) beating up the dinosaur media like an SEIU thug on a Tea Party Protester.
Er, weren’t we supposed to be running out (Peak Oil theory) instead of increasing (and one of the reasons why Enviro-wackos want to keep us from using more now – “it’s for future generations!“). It just goes to show that the Malthusians amongst the Enviros never seem to consider the idea of human ingenuity in … Read more
Yes, this is going to keep coming up. All the way to November. (excerpt on the jump)
In a posting dated Monday, September 17, 2012 (the 225th anniversary of the creation of the US Constitution), William Tucker over at Blue Hampshire (or, more accurately, “Boo-Hoo Hamster”), states that “conservative special interest groups successfully targeted GOP lawmakers who failed to toe the ideological line…“.
Good observation, but his title “NH GOP purges moderates” is all wrong.
Calling them “victims of the purge”, and attempting to tie their demise to the nefarious and pointy-tailed Bill O’Brien, Tucker quotes the consistently unbiased Nashua Telegraph reporter, Kevin Landrigan, subtly ginning-up fears of some Koch-Nugent-Sununu-Eastwoodian cabal, secretly operating somewhere in West Virginia, working to eradicate all New Hampshire RINOs, then coming to blast us all back to the horrible 1950’s (when people didn’t lock their doors at night, families could afford to have Mom stay at home if they chose, planning for retirement wasn’t a laugh, we actually had affordable private medical care, and the dollar was worth more than fourteen cents).
An apology is likely forthcoming, after it is revealed that, like the Soviet Black Sea Navy ships sailing behind the speakers at the Democrat National Convention, the fighter jets pictured above…not US either. So their tribute the military was essentially…a complete fail. (#FAIL)
The Daily Caller nails them on this here. The jets are Turkish F-5 fighters.
You’ve got to hand it to the Democrats though. Had complete control of the government for two years. They still control most of it with the Democrat Controlled Senate still blocking anything and everything that might embarrass Obama. Their candidate for President is the current commander and chief for the US military, and always the Smartest Guy In The Room™ ,but they still can’t manage to use photos of actual US military hardware in their convention for his re-election.
It’s priceless.
In case you forgot, the picture is on the jump…
Ben Stein wrote an interesting piece in The American Spectator today.
In it he makes various observations and comes to various conclusions, as follow:
Skip wrote about it yesterday HERE. It’s worth revisiting to see the updated comments. Brownshirts. In the middle off the night. On trumped up charges. With plenty of TV cameras there. This sucks. Our President does too. He is…something other than what a President should be. This is simply disgusting.
This Monday, September 17, 2012, marks the 225th anniversary of the US Constitution. Each year, the United States celebrates Constitution Day (even Constitution Week), when we take time to honor, and to consider the importance of the document that does not give us our rights (as many incorrectly think), but puts words to paper that protect our rights, as well as establishing our remarkable form of government.
Now, many of us actually do take time to study and understand the Constitution, but it is clear that today’s youth do not have a working understanding, much less an appreciation of the document – part of this fault lies with parents, part of it with our schools.
Most people do not realize that any school that accepts federal funds (and let’s acknowledge that most do, these days) must implement some form of Constitution Day program or lesson:
A private citizen made a lousy YouTube video about six months ago. A few days ago islamo-fascists used it as a vehicle to inflame Muslim uprisings. Under the cover of same, Americans were killed, or in some cases executed. The Obama Administration’s response to the killings was to send the police out in the dark of night and collect the man they believe responsible for making the video.
Muslims, living in third world arm-pits, are familiar with this strategy. People disappearing in the night when they have displeased those in power by saying something that has made them look bad. They do not have free speech. But we do. Well, we are supposed to.
So ask a New Hampshire Democrat…
Ugh. First, the audacity of asking that in lieu of a wedding gift as you and your spouse start your new life together, consider having them just send money to a political campaign (Obama’s). I know Michelle all wants us to move more and eat less better, but to skip a meal and then send … Read more
I never saw the movie (almost no one did) but according to Breitbart.com the last 20 minutes of the Bill Maher angry-atheist-Christian bashing is free speech vanity film, Religulous, makes a “damning case against Islam. Maher’s films tumbled in and out of theaters a few years back while–Osama was still above water–without any incident on … Read more
What do you say about a Government that care more about its image, more about its power, and more about re-election than doing what it is supposed to be doing? I don’t often put up entire posts – but this one deserves to be read in it entirety – Glen Reynolds aka “Mr. Instapundit” aka The BlogFaddah” (emphasis mine):
WHY BARACK OBAMA SHOULD RESIGN. Just for the record, this is what it looked like for a man who made a film that made the Obama Administration uncomfortable:
Here’s the key bit: “Just after midnight Saturday morning, authorities descended on the Cerritos home of the man believed to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Muslim movie that has sparked protests and rioting in the Muslim world.”
When taking office, the President does not swear to create jobs. He does not swear to “grow the economy.” He does not swear to institute “fairness.” The only oath the President takes is this one:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Either elwood, over at the Boo-Hoo Hamsters (aka Blue Hampshire), either is not conversant with the various political systems or dares not bring up that which really describes what is going on here in America – and one which Maggie “The Red” Hassan literally tried to do legislatively. He’s whining about a statement from Charlie Bass:
He is running ads claiming that Annie Kuster, who supports the Affordable Care Act, is endorsing a “government takeover of health care.”
Far be it for me to defend good ole’ self-described Progressive Republican Charlie Bass – I’m not going to even paper veneer anything positive for him given that he LIED about only running one more time – and now he’s running again. A pox on his political future (which may well happen this time around). However, that aside, elwood is STILL wrong:
