Joe Wilson, Hero?

Much has been made on talk radio and in the conservative media about Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) “being pushed under the bus” by his own leadership.  This is hogwash in its worse form.  Wilson certainly isn’t being pushed under the bus and he certainly isn’t a hero for speaking the truth.

Yes, Wilson spoke the truth when he yelled that President Barack Obama’s statement that illegal aliens wouldn’t be covered under ObamaCare was a “LIE”.  It was then, is now.  That is why Democrats have consistently refused to allow any type of status checking for their socialized medicine scheme.

Regardless, Wilson had no business shouting it out during Obama’s address.  Worse than being rude, the man knows better.  A native of Charleston and a graduate of Washington & Lee, Wilson was brought up to be a gentleman.  He should have behaved as such.  If he was a Yankee …

Unfortunately, Wilson is being rewarded for his poor behavior; having raised over $1 million in the 48 hours after his outburst.  Of course, his opponent has raised $800,000 in roughly the same period.

Wilson has apologized.  That should be the end of the matter.  While he behaved badly, he didn’t assault anyone.  However, liberals must always play the victim.  Now they want to officially admonish Wilson for his outburst.  This is not only equally wrong, it merely shows what hypocrites House Democrats are.  Their own leadership (Pelosi and Hoyer) called those of us opposed to ObamaCare Un-American.  Pelosi has even called us Nazis.  But that’s OK.  Sending thugs to attack ordinary citizens is OK too.  Just don’t say anything bad about the messiah.

Just because Democrats act that way doesn’t mean that we should.  Wilson is no hero, but the Democrats will make him one if they keep it up.

Why “Democrat” Has Just Become Another Synonym for Whore

… or How “Little Tommy” became madam of the nation’s biggest brothel.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is desperately hoping that allowing a few vulnerable Dems to publicly support opening up the outer shelf to drilling will yield a larger Democrat majority in the next Congress. She may get her wish, but it’s looking more doubtful by the day.

Pelosi seems to be hoping that a simple re-hash of the Democrat’s 2006 strategy will work – run Democrats that will run on conservative issues and then sell out their constituents in order to sit at the “cool kids table” in Congress. Things are a bit different in 2008, however. High fuel prices have risen to the top of the issues heap. The Democrat congress is no more highly regarded than the GOP congress was in 2006.

While it’s true that GOP leaders such as Denny Hastert, Tom DeLay, John Boehner and Roy Blunt whored us right into the minority. A group of insurgent conservatives are seizing the leadership roles as we move toward November. Hastert and DeLay are fortunately gone. We can only hope that Boehner and Blunt will be purged in January and replaced with people like Mike Pence, John Shadegg and Jeb Hensarling.

In the meantime, the Democrat leadership of Pelosi and Steny Hoyer aren’t even being very secretive about their plans to screw the American people: Read more

Obama the Community Organizer

Other than the fact that he is over 35 and a natural-born US citizen, what exactly is it that qualifies Barack Obama to be President? You often hear him speak of his time as a “community organizer”. What is a “community organizer” and how does it help qualify Barack Hussein Obama to be President of the United States?

If you agree with the notion that Obama wants to make the United States a socialist country, as I do, then his time as a “community organizer” speaks volumes as to his qualifications and his agenda. Obama was a paid political agitator who accomplished little, but honed his rhetoric and organizational skills.

Trained by Gerald Kellman, a disciple of Saul “The Red” Alinsky, Obama learned the skills necessary to organize disparate groups. Using the skills taught by Alinsky in his book, Rules for Radicals, Obama became an “abrasive agent for change”.  Obama’s goal wasn’t to feed the poor, it was about political power in the infamous, bare knuckles Chicago style.

Check out Victor Davis Hanson’s great piece on National Review Online. If Obama’s recent rhetoric is to be believed, it is Obama who represents a third Bush termNOT John McCain.

SPEAKING DEMOCRAT – Reasonable = Liberal, Activist

The new Democrat-speak. You need an interpreter to understand the rhetoric.

Reasonable = Liberal, Activist

Democrats will appoint reasonable judges to the courts.

Translation -

Democrats will appoint liberal, activist judges to the courts.

As the recent Heller decision illustrates, we can scarcely afford the appointment of any more reasonable judges to our nation’s courts.
