Yes, Barack Hussein Obama has once again imparted his divine wisdom on we the sheeple, who without him would surely perish. He says that if we’d only start inflating our tires properly, & doing “regular tuneups”, we’d be able to save Billions of barrels of oil, that we would otherwise be drilling for.
When he says things like this, I have to wonder whether or not he’s still smokin’ the pipe.
But if you want to hear/see him talking down to all of us lowly, stupid, tire gauge challenged peasants yourself, check it our right here.
Meanwhile Barack’s other common sense challenged, & self destructing Democrat friends are insisting on breaking our economy by stalling on a useful energy bill.
So when they revamped Obama’s plane for his RockStar Tour, they removed one giant flag from the front near the wing, & an even bigger one from the tail section of the plane. How many American flags can you see on the plane now? NONE! Unless of course you happen to be within maybe 50 feet & have 20/20 vision to see the tiny one they put next to the planes registration number. That’s right, none at all unless you have a high powered telescope! It’s a disgraceful thing when a candidate (even though he has forgotten he hasn’t won already) does not have enough respect for the United States to even put a reasonably visible flag back on his plane after he’s removed two prominent ones.
It was intentional, & I’m sure that most other American people will be offended when they find out, just like I am. This fits the Democrat M.O. though. America hating at it’s best, & worst depending on whether your a patriot, or an anti-everything like most moonbats.
This story is not netlore either. It’s been ferreted out by the kings of Netlore debunking themselves, at Snopes.com. Check it out, complete with before & after photos on the plane.
I never wanted to believe the worst about Mr. Obama, & if you look back in some of my archives, you’ll find that I even defended him in some instances against the race baiting tactics of some of his opponents. But where there’s smoke there’s fire, & this now obvious anti-flag fetish of his keeps billowing up everywhere. How anyone can vote for such an Anti-American, unless they are one themselves? I don’t think even his mentally challenge media puppets will be able to cover this one up for him..
The Israeli newspaper Maariv was sharply criticized for publishing the contents of a prayer note Barack Obama left in a crack of Jerusalem’s Western Wall.
But a Maariv spokesman now says that publication of the note was approved ahead of time by the Obama campaign.
Obama was following a centuries-old tradition when he left his note in the Wall during a pre-dawn visit last Thursday. The note began, “Lord — protect my family and me.”
After Obama left the scene, a seminary student removed Obama’s note from the wall and passed it on to Maariv, which published it on Friday. Full Story Here

If this is true, that would mean that it was likely all a big RockStar Tour publicity stunt.. Naah… No Democrat would ever do something like that though… ~Dan Lee
In Iran, you can do these things & be convicted without being stoned: murder, rape, armed robbery, apostasy, blasphemy, drug trafficking, prostitution, treason and espionage.
But if you do this: “adultery” You will almost certainly be convicted & stoned to death, especially if you’re a woman (if the numbers/percentages tell a story.) This week 8 women & 1 man are scheduled to be executed at the direction of Iranian judges & officials.
Does anyone else think the extremist human rights wackos that are bothering our soldiers about interrogation methods, should maybe spend more of their time having these discussions with Iran instead?
Seems to me that a being executed for a roll in the hay (no matter how distasteful the circumstances) is a bit more extreme than being smacked around at Guantanamo for being a suspected terrorist/enemy combatant.
If things were right, groups like Amnesty International would be spending their time working on the most urgent & horrific travesties of justice, instead of sticking their nose into the Military’s decisions on how to handle so called “freedom fighters” who belong to no organized army, & therefore have no rights under the Geneva convention anyway.
Save the Iranians Amnesty International! Prioritize! Human Rights before Political agendas! Isn’t living up to your name of any importance to you anymore?
This decision is coming from the same Newspaper who undoubtedly supports the concept of the so called “fairness doctrine”.
NYT editor David Shipley did take his hands off his John McCain voodoo doll long enough to offer up this “pearl of wisdom”:
“Let me suggest an approach,” he wrote. “The Obama piece worked for me because it offered new information (it appeared before his speech); while Senator Obama discussed Senator McCain, he also went into detail about his own plans. It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama’s piece.”
Let me translate this liberal lingo for you, since this was of course his passive aggressive way of trying to embarrass McCain by implying that: “Obama is so smart & clever, yet you’re so stupid Mr. McCain. Why can’t you write an article of Obama’s caliber, & then I’ll print it.”
Maybe Mr. Shipley probably was watching file footage of Barack Obama working out, & was so distracted that he didn’t realize he was stomping all over McCain’s 1st amendment rights to say whatever he wants, how ever he wants to, but hey! Why would he understand that silly 1st amendment concept? He’s only in the News & Information business. Whatever the cause for his acute lack of judgment & journalistic integrity, I hope people take note of the New York Times constant pattern of hypocrisy & underhanded political schemes. My hope is that their circulation will continue to decrease, as quickly as the quality of their reporting has.
Dick Heller is the man who brought a much needed lawsuit against DC, to lift the unconstitutional handgun ban that has threatened the personal safety of it’s citizens for years.
Webster’s Dictionary defines a “machine gun” as the following:
Main Entry: machine gun
Function: noun
Date: 1867
:a gun for sustained rapid fire that uses bullets; broadly : an automatic weapon
Sustained rapid fire with seven rounds??? Doesn’t sound like Heller’s pistol even comes close to qualifying as a “machine gun” to me.. Clearly the DC moonbats had long ago gotten away with taking it upon themselves to break away from societal standards (such as the trusted Merriam Webster dictionary) to completely & arbitrarily redefine what a “machine gun” actually is.
The problem is that their little games will lead to more court cases to define the obvious for them, & it will be at the expense of the taxpayers. Meanwhile, the liberal media will black the stories out, & most of the public will never know that DC is wasting their money on trying to deny the Constitutional rights of it’s own citizens, unless people start to speak up for their rights.
Remember in November.. REMEMBER come November.. ~ Dan Lee
I knew it wouldn’t be long before the MSM liars concocted an angle to explain why oil prices took a $15 plummet soon after Bush lifted the drilling ban by executive order. Take this article over at CNN that over-confidently puts the cause squarely on “thawing relations” with Iran in recent weeks. No mention whatsoever of the curiously paralleled timing of the drop (right after Bush lifted the offshore drilling ban.)
ANYTHING, ANYTHING but the idea that the prospect of having our OWN resources available to us could lower the cost of oil, right? The liberal media must have gotten an SOS memo from Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid to bolster their positions on Oil futures, capitulations to Iran, & help save Obama from his big mouth when he called Oil Drilling/Exploration a “gimmick”.
Well David Harsani over at the Denver post “may” be an ardent liberal, but I give him credit for his intellectual honesty & balanced view of the energy problems we face RIGHT NOW.
Don’t be fooled folks. If we get the barrels of oil to pile up behind fences around the country HERE IN THE US, then you’ll see oil prices come down. Do you know why Overstock.com has made money? Because they take advantage of mistakes that companies make in over purchasing products; by purchasing their overstock at a low price & reselling it for a profit. But not only that, they buy from companies that made too much of a product that didn’t sell fast enough.
Well I’d like to see some discount sweet crude on overstock.com soon, because I’d rather give my money to them than to terrorist-sponsoring nations in the middle east who are holding oil over our oil starved heads like a carrot over an emaciated bunny rabbit. How do we get there? The answer is simple. We drill AND conserve at the same time!
I can’t believe this is not obvious to our Congress. In fact I know it is, they just don’t give two turds about us, because we’re just a cheap piece of rope in a political tug of war to them.
In November, we should vote out any fool who stood in the way of our crucial energy supplies for political gain & over Congressional infighting.
If one man on a ship threatens the safety of 100 others, he walks the plank.. It’s time for these clowns in Congress to choose their political fate. They are either for us or against us. Drilling for our own resources could not possibly go against us.
Yep, shattered all over the floor & it may very well be because of his “final straw” comments on the Iraq War. You see he was the golden child to organizations like the moveon.borg, until he began to move away from their insane expectations on withdrawal from Iraq, among other liberal insanities. The libtards are tweaking out now over his comments, but they are trying to do it subtly so as to look all stoic & calm about it.
When you flip-flop around like a fish out of water (which he really is), eventually your halo will fly off & shatter on the floor. Barack is right about one thing, he’s not really a Washington insider, but not for the reasons one might assume. It’s not really by choice, but it’s more because nobody has respect for someone who is not only nontenured, but more importantly hasn’t done anything of note as a Senator since he arrived on the scene. I think he’s an outsider because the rest of the clowns in Washington simply got tired of him following them around looking like he’s doing something, all while the water from the back of his big wet ears keeps dripping all over their wing tips.
He’s got no experience & a lot of speaking ability. Like a professional motivational speaker. Hmmm…yes, that’s what Barack should really do, because it’s what he’s qualified for. Just my opinion, but I’m very far from the only one who feels that way.
He campaigned on a bunch of far leftist promises so he could “Out Liberal” Hillary, but now that he has, he of course can not deliver the insane concoction of ideas he stood for during the primaries.
You can write off what I’m saying because you think I’m just a rabid Republican who wants to keep the black man down, or you can look at what I’m saying objectively. I mean what has he done? Name one piece of groundbreaking legislation the man has authored? Also, I’m a conservative before I’m a Republican & that’s why McCain is on my S-list until he brings on a true conservative VP candidate to balance out his obvious “nanny state” inclinations.
Here’s the cold, hard truth. We have two undesirable candidates running for office, but out of the two, Barack Obama is the least experienced & gets blown around in his convictions like a hot air balloon with no pilot. It’s my honest opinion that anyone who votes for him simply did not do their homework, or doesn’t love their country enough to care that they are about to give the keys to the Rolls over to a blind man.
So a few days ago Bush lifted the 1981 offshore oil drilling ban put into place by his father. It was a smart & sensible move, & it immediately drove oil prices down about $9 a barrel. It’s simple, increasing supply, or even threatening to do it is going to influence the people who selling oil to drop the prices & maintain their precious market share. It’s easy business economics 101 stuff.. Competition controls pricing. But let me explain it for Pelosi & her minions anyway. Ok, ready?
If Johnny has a lemonade stand, the ONLY lemonade stand in the whole neighborhood, & it’s 105 degrees outside, guess how much Johnny can charge his neighborhood friends for a glass of ice cold lemonade? Pretty much whatever he wants if they want to get it without walking all the way three blocks back to home. But if little Jenny & Bobby on the blocks in between erect their own lemonade stands, then everyone will need to keep their prices lower to get a share of the market. Why pay an extra quarter to Johnny if you only need to walk 100 yds more, & can get an extra gumball out of the gumball machine by buying from Jenny or Bobby? Competition controls pricing.
Apparently the only thing more simple than that is the minds of the Democrats in Congress who are walking in lockstep with lead simpleton Nancy Pelosi. You know, the Congressman who thought gas was $2.56 per gallon at a time when it was about a dollar more?
Now months later we’re over $4 a gallon, & she’s still stalling for time. Why? Because if she does what is right for the American people & allows offshore drilling to commence, she will immediately have lost a POLITICAL battle with Republicans. It’s all she really cares about. After all, she doesn’t fill HER gas tank, we do, & with OUR tax payments to this government & her out of control congress.
You see if she can just hold off until AFTER November, she thinks she can make the Democrats look like the heroes by changing her tune in a flip flopping reversal that has become the signature of the Liberal Party, & even some of their rhino Republican kiss ass friends.
Meanwhile as they play their political games, the American people are going broke, & the economy is plummeting dangerously close to a deep recession.
I vote that we make the perpetrators pay dearly on Voting day in November. If you stalled on drilling & bringing relief to the people you were supposed to be serving & representing, you should be voted out of office. Remember, more than %70 (some polls as high as %74) of likely voters now support drilling for our own energy/oil reserves.
Keep standing in the way Pelosi… Go ahead, make our day.. >:)
The pen is mightier than the political horde..
Only in nanny states like Massachusetts, or California do you regularly hear about stories like this.
From a FreeRepublic article:
Father warns shoppers of ‘predator’ employee (father punches son’s molester, is arrested)
Enterprise News | 7/11/08 | Scarpati
Raynham father warns Market Basket shoppers of ‘predator’ employee he says groped his 4-year-old son
A father says he was horrified to find out that a janitor accused of groping his son in a bathroom stall at Market Basket is still working there.
RAYNHAM, MA — One Raynham father is taking justice into his own hands, warning other parents this week about an alleged “predator” who he says groped his 4-year-old son in a supermarket bathroom last month.
Police said the suspect, an elderly janitor at Market Basket, allegedly reached under a bathroom stall partition and touched the boy’s calf while the child was standing on a bucket June 1.
The boy’s enraged father, who police said saw it happen, allegedly flung open the adjacent stall and punched the janitor, giving him a cut on his lip and a welt on the middle of his head.
The employee, Valerio Rodriguez, 71, of Providence, allegedly told police through a translator “that he was wrong for touching the little boy.”
Although Rodriguez faces a felony charge, the father, Jason R. Beatrice, 31, was reportedly horrified to see him still cleaning floors at Market Basket when he visited the store July 4.
“He was pushing a mop bucket smiling at children,” reads an anonymous flier, which police said Beatrice authored and distributed in Raynham. Full Story Here
Obviously this was a self defense action by the father, who was neutralizing a threat against his child. The Police have handled it poorly in my opinion. Here is the e-mail I sent to them.
Dear Chief Lou Pachecho,
I feel that you made the wrong decision on the Beatrice vs. Rodriguez case. Was Mr. Beatrice supposed to wait until this man got his hand into the child’s pants damaging him even more than he has already been emotionally? Or pulled him into the stall? This was a clear case of self defense, & neutralizing a threat to his child’s safety. I respectfully encourage you to drop the charges. ~Dan Lee

Excerpted from the AP/Fox News story:
Today’s high gas prices could reduce auto deaths by nearly a third as driving decreases, with the effect particularly dramatic among price-sensitive teenage drivers, the authors of a new study said.
Professors Michael Morrisey of the University of Alabama-Birmingham and David Grabowski of Harvard Medical School found that for every 10 percent increase in gas prices there was a 2.3 percent decline in auto deaths. For drivers ages 15 to 17, the decline was 6 percent, and for ages 18 to 21, it was 3.2 percent.

What they have conveniently forgotten to tell you in the above story is how increased gas prices have forced many people to buy motorcycles to be able to continue to afford commuting to & from work. This same people are at a higher risk for injury & death on a motorcycle, & as a result, motorcycle deaths have nearly DOUBLED in some places around the US. They have increased dramatically overall, thanks to the inaction of the Liberal Democrats in Congress. Remember, the cost of Gasoline has doubled since Nancy Pelosi & her cronies took over Congress. It’s no coincidence that these little sham studies pop out of the mostly liberal University system around the country to try & justify the insane prices we’re paying. It’s all part of the liberal educational establishment trying to help their leaders save face in an election year.
The truth is that their inaction on energy policy, along with “some” but fewer Republicans, has gotten commuters who desperately turned to motorcycles for transportation, killed.
Environmental extremism; Always looking for a way to dupe the public, but never able to dupe us all..
I don’t want to be a hypocrite, so I won’t blame the democrats for every bit of this loss on Wall street, however nobody can deny that the Oil princes are causing most of the jitters, & the Dems have had no viable solutions. In fact, their refusal to capitulate to the rest of the country on the need to drill for oil on our own soil, has directly contributed to the worries on the Market.
I personally see a disaster in the making for the Democrats in November. Their decisions & current positions on oil exploration are effecting everything from how many Police patrol cars can afford to patrol the streets (instead of officers doubling up in patrol cars to save fuel), to the prices of food, & how much your 401k is worth, or growing. You my fellow Americans are the ones getting fleeced by the Democrat’s blockade on Oil Exploration, & now it’s even taking the stock market down in a serious way that hasn’t been seen since the 9/11 attacks.
The only difference is that we’re being attacked by 1 party of our own Government, & attacked from within. That would be the arrogant Democratic Party, who’s gas tanks we fill up on our tax tab. They couldn’t care any less what you’re paying for gas, instead of putting braces on your child’s teeth, because we pay for all of that for THEIR families out of OUR pockets.
1.2 million Americans have signed a “Drill here, Drill Now” petition that was formed by Newt Gingrich, yet Nancy Pelosi has determined single handedly that we are all idiots, & drilling for oil in American territories as a solution to high oil princes is “a hoax”.
Pelosi was recently quoted as saying: “This call for drilling in areas that are protected is a hoax, it’s an absolute hoax on the part of the Republicans and this administration” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference. “It’s a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that their policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline.”
Meanwhile China laughs hysterically at us, & drills for oil that should be going to us, just off the Florida keys.
Pelosi flailingly admits out of the other side of her mouth that putting more oil into circulation by releasing oil from the National Strategic Preserves would help lower prices, but somehow rationalizes that drilling for more of our own oil would not help. Does anyone else see how evil & crafty this woman is? She doesn’t mind weakening our national security in order to preserve her party’s relationship with environmental extremists, but yet she calls the idea of making our nation self sufficient on energy matters, “a hoax”.
Well Nancy Pelosi, your leadership in Congress is the real sham here, because since you took it over gas princes have doubled for the American people, & all you can do is blame everyone else.
Please be sure to e-mail “Speaker Pelosi” as I have, to let her know what you think of basically being called stupid enough to buy into “a hoax”.
Seriously people. You need to contact your Congressman (or “Congress Creep” in some cases) & let them know this behavior will not be tolerated, & the agenda of the American people WILL be tended to on OUR terms, not theirs.
