			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Background: Shannon Bream (interviewer for Fox News) was reporting on the Governor&#8217;s race in NJ which will be decided this coming Tuesday. The race is a close one between incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine and Republican candidate Chris Christie. This is one of those races that will seem to be a &#8220;litmus test&#8221; for the 2010 election. Shannon Bream had an impromptu interview with Chris Christie. Shep was obviously surprised and asked her when she would be interviewing Corzine. She stated that they had requested an interview with him several times and he had not replied. Then Shep apologizes for that &#8220;<a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/10/27/video-shep-smith-apologizes-for-foxs-lack-of-balance/">lack of balance</a>&#8221; and says it wouldn&#8217;t have happened if he were in charge.</p>
<p>Okay, first of all, how is it Bream&#8217;s fault that Corzine isn&#8217;t interviewed when he is the one who won&#8217;t give the interview?  There are a few people who have no business being on Fox.  Shep is one of them.  Geraldo is another.  And in my opinion, Bill O&#8217;Reilly is another.  These people are about stupid.  What was Shepard Smith trying to do?  Win his way into the heart of the Supreme O?  Kiss up to Axelrod and Dunn?  Piss off his viewers?  Well, atleast he succeeded at the last one. </p>
<p>Another little piece of this exchange that ticks me off is that Shep says, &#8220;the Democrat&#8217;s probably gonna win, right?&#8221;.  Um, no.  The latest <a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections2/election_2009/new_jersey/election_2009_new_jersey_governor">Rasmussen survey </a>has Christie (the Republican) ahead by three points.  Do your research, Shep.  If I really wanted to hear the liberal point of view, I would be watching CNN or MSNBC.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now usually I don&#8217;t agree with anything the Mainstream Media does or says. Today is different. I must say I am quite proud of how they handled themselves on this issue.</p>
<p>The White House contacted the press pool (representatives from ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and FOX) and stated that they would be conducting interviews with the new Pay Czar, Kenneth Feinberg. However, everyone BUT Fox was invited. The other members of the pool stood up for what is right (you know &#8211; the Constitution and all) and refused to do the interviews if FOX wasn&#8217;t invited. HOORAY for you, mainstream media! So, the White House retaliated by only allowing each interviewer 2 minutes instead of the original 5. Boo freaking hoo.<br />
Of course, when Carol E Lee from Politico asked White House Press Secretary, <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/10/20/raw-data-transcript-gibbs-discussing-fox-news/">Robert Gibbs</a>, if he believed that FOX should be removed from the White House press pool, he said that wasn&#8217;t his job to decide. Oh really? Sounds like you are trying to make it your job.  Of course, as the President stated, he isn&#8217;t losing any sleep over this.  He&#8217;s just spending a lot of his time trying to stick it to FOX and making a fool of himself in the process. </p>
<p>I just love it when evil schemes backfire!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, that would be the problem with Alan Grayson, the representative for Florida&#8217;s 8th district. Everytime he opens his mouth, crap oozes out.  He is so uncouth that even Vice Prez Joe Biden has called him a &#8220;bad comedian&#8221; in response to him making jokes about Dick Cheney liking to &#8220;shoot old guys&#8221;.  Wonder if we can get Cheney to take HIM hunting? <br />
He is the representative who infamously said that the Republican healthcare plan is 1)Don&#8217;t get sick. 2) If you do get sick, die quickly.  This little presentation was given only 3 weeks after Democrats got their undies in a wad about Rep. Joe Wilson shouting &#8220;You lie&#8221; during the President&#8217;s speech on health care reform.  The CNN and MSNBC pansies just couldn&#8217;t believe Wilson&#8217;s lack of respect and decorum.  Of course, they had no problem with Grayson&#8217;s rudeness.  That was just funny.  The most important fact being that Joe Wilson was right (the dems DO want health coverage for illegal aliens &#8211; the President WAS lying) and Alan Grayson was wrong (of course Republicans do not want sick people to just die).</p>
<p>After Joe Wilson&#8217;s outburst, he later apologized for his actions.  (I wish he hadn&#8217;t, but he did.)  When Republicans called for Grayson to apologize, he refused and then later apologized to the dead that died because we didn&#8217;t pass health care reform.  Ridiculous.</p>
<p>Now he&#8217;s at it again, appearing on MSNBC to call Fox News the &#8220;<a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/10/21/alan-grayson-fox-news-gop-are-the-enemy-of-america-peace-puppies/">enemy of America</a>&#8220;.  He said, &#8220;They&#8217;re the enemy of anybody who cares about health care in this country, the enemy of anybody who cares about educating their children, the enemy of anybody who wants energy independence or anything good for this country. And certainly the enemy of peace, there&#8217;s no doubt about that. They <em>are</em> the enemy.&#8221;  Wow, think for yourself much, Mr Grayson?  Sounds to me like you are just being a good little lapdog for the President and attacking his newest annoyance, Fox News.  I&#8217;ll bet he&#8217;s real proud of you.  Good boy, Alan!  You remind me of that stupid little dog on the cartoons that kept running beside the big dog, jumping over him, and saying &#8220;Hey Spike.  C&#8217;mon Spike.  What are we gonna do now, Spike?&#8221;</p>
<p>One can only hope that the good citizens in the 8th district wake up and elect a new rep next year.  Until then I&#8217;m sure we will hear more of these ridiculous comments from Mr. Grayson.  Your day is coming, Mr. Grayson.  America is tired of people like you.  Fox news has the highest ratings for a reason.  MSNBC is in the tank.  America is tired of liberal crap and representatives like you who have no morals.  I think that YOU are the enemy.  The enemy of freedom.  The enemy of prosperity.  The enemy of progress.  The enemy of peace.  The enemy of the American Dream.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, here&#8217;s a little background. John McHugh was the Republican representative for New York&#8217;s 23rd congressional district. He left this position to become US Secretary of the Army in September. The governor of New York was required to hold a special election to fill this seat, and he decided to schedule this election on the regular election day, November 3rd this year.  The controversy surrounding this election has to do with the candidates, not the election itself.  The Republican candidate in particular.  Her name is Dierdre Scozzafava.  She has the endorsement of Newt Gingrich, the NRA, and <em>the founder of the Daily Kos?</em></p>
<p>So how does someone get the support of both Newt and the founder of an extremely liberal internet blog?  Interesting indeed.  Mrs.  Scozzafava could not be further from being a conservative.  She is a liberal running as a republican.  A wolf in sheep&#8217;s clothing, although I&#8217;m not sure that the Republican&#8217;s are the good guys either.  Scozzafava (I think I&#8217;ll call her The Scozz from now on) is pro-union.  She supports card check and is endorsed by the Working Families Party which has ties to ACORN.  She is pro-abortion.  She is pro-homosexual marriage.  She supported the stimulus package, cash for clunkers, and the bank bailout.  AND she has received money and support from both the RNC and the NRCC.  Yes, if you have donated to the Grand Ole Party, your hard earned money is actually going to support liberals!  How&#8217;s that for irony &#8211; just a few weeks ago I received a letter from them claiming that if I DIDN&#8217;T give them money, I would be electing liberals to office.  Wow, the old switcheroo.  Divert and evade. </p>
<p>Another twist to the story is that there IS an actual conservative running for the same office.  Doug Hoffman was originally a nominee for the Republican party, lost to The Scozz, and got picked up by the Conservative Party of New York.  Not only did the Republican National Committee choose to endorse a leftist Scozz over Hoffman, they are actually paying to run ads AGAINST him and smear his name.  WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?</p>
<p>Newt actually had the nerve to call her &#8220;our best chance to put responsible and principled leaders in Washington&#8221;.  Shame on you, Newt.  This is right up there with your Pelosi global warming love fest.   (Which reminds me that The Scozz is a global warming legislation advocate as well.)  Newt implied that if we (Republicans) want to win elections, we can&#8217;t be so worried about being moral.  He said, &#8220;If you seek to be a perfect minority, you&#8217;ll remain a minority.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Scozz is just like Obama and his administration in another way as well.  She can&#8217;t handle criticism or tough questions.  When a reporter started asking questions that she didn&#8217;t want to answer, she called the cops.  Oh, well, I&#8217;m sure it wasn&#8217;t a &#8220;legitimate news organization&#8221; anyway, right? </p>
<p>I&#8217;m actually glad that this is coming to a head.  This is the opportunity to separate the wheat from the chaff, people!  A &#8220;civil&#8221; war of the Republican Party.  This nonsense MUST stop.  Liberals should be running under the Democratic Party.  They do not belong in the RNC.  RINO&#8217;S GET OUT.  If I have to sacrifice my morals to win an election, I don&#8217;t want to win.  I want to be able to lay my head on my pillow at night and know that I have taken a stand for what is right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just love how liberals tout tolerance and open-mindedness when it fits their agenda, and then turn around and do the opposite. Love, love, love hypocrisy. BIG fan.</p>
<p>Representatives for the White House like Communications Director <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/62561-white-house-blasts-fox-news-wing-of-the-republican-party">Anita Dunn </a>and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel continue to make disparaging remarks about Fox News.  Ms. Dunn said that Fox News was like an &#8220;arm&#8221; of the Republican Party and called it &#8220;opinion journalism masquerading as news&#8221;.  <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/18/axelrod-emanuel-criticize_n_325097.html">Emanuel</a> stated, &#8220;it&#8217;s not a news organization so much as it has a perspective.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/18/axelrod-emanuel-criticize_n_325097.html">David Axelrod</a>, White House Senior Advisor, all out said that Fox wasn&#8217;t even news and even called for other news channels to stop treating them as if they were.  He said that &#8220;they&#8221; would continue to appear on Fox, but with the understanding that it wasn&#8217;t really news.  Just an opinion network or something.  Interestingly enough, &#8220;they&#8221; does not include the President.</p>
<p>What happened to that lovey-dovey, touchy-feely, hopey-changey thing?  It&#8217;s dealing with a 4-year-old.  If you don&#8217;t agree with me and constantly tell me how wonderful I am and how much you love me, I&#8217;m just gonna take my ball and go home.  What happened to that whole &#8220;we believe everyone is entitled to an opinion&#8221; thing?  What happened to that little freedom of the press thingy?  Oh, that&#8217;s right, we flushed that with the rest of the Constitution. </p>
<p>And, really, for anyone who has watched CNN or MSNBC, you mean to tell me that Rachel Maddow and Wolf Blitzer are fair and balanced?  HAHAHA!  The White House doesn&#8217;t have a problem with those networks because they are falling all over themselves to kiss his Presidential behind.  Messiah worship.  And they promote his evil ideology.  If any network is an &#8220;arm&#8221; of a party, certainly CNN and MSNBC oughta be on the DNC payroll. </p>
<p>In the end, the President and his cronies are doing themselves no favors.   In the 3rd quarter of 2009, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/30/fox-news-dominates-3q-200_n_304260.html">Fox News </a>was home to all of the top 10 cable news programs.  Fox averaged over 2 million viewers in primetime, more than CNN and MSNBC combined.  Also, while all of the &#8220;top&#8221; programs on those other channels were tanking, the programs on Fox were climbing in viewership.  Ah, it&#8217;s true - success is always the best revenge.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, we&#8217;ve all heard the saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Why does the GOP not get this? The latest Rasmussen report states that if Huckabee and Romney are two of our choices for Republican Party Candidate, Huckabee has a slight advantage over Romney. (Huckabee getting 44% of the vote; Romney 39%).  Worse yet, 81% of Republican voters polled said that they believed this candidate would beat Obama in 2012!  HELLO!  These are the same choices we had last time!  DIDN&#8217;T WORK!</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t really know how else to explain this to the Republican Party &#8220;powers that be&#8221;.  We don&#8217;t want the same old crap!  Have they not learned anything by watching the Tea Party movement?  We want someone who represents us.  We want a true conservative.  Both socially and fiscally conservative.  We want a return to the Constitution and we want limited government.  We want our lives back &#8211; no more bailouts, no more socialism, no more porkulus. </p>
<p>If Romney and Huckabee couldn&#8217;t beat McCain in the primary, and McCain couldn&#8217;t beat Obama in the election, what makes anyone think that Romney and Huckabee can beat Obama?  This ain&#8217;t fuzzy math, people.  It is simple.  Thank you Mr. Romney and Mr. Huckabee for your service.  Now kindly step aside and make way for someone new, fresh, and truly conservative to lead the party.  Please don&#8217;t let the door hit you when you leave.  Do not pass go.  Do not collect 200 dollars. </p>
<p>There just has to be someone better.  I have to believe it.  This cannot be the best we have to offer.  Once again, I am truly, truly disappointed with the GOP.  And then you got that &#8220;Republican&#8221; chick up in NY &#8211; Oh, that is a whole different post cause she makes me want to scream.  Wolf in sheep&#8217;s clothing = Dem running for office as a Republican. </p>
<p>Please, Grand Ole Party, Please, do NOT put some more of the same old people on the ballot in 2012.  I&#8217;m giving you plenty of notice!  Start looking now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Roughly 3000 people died in the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.<br />
Total number of military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan &#8211; approximately 5000.<br />
Number of innocent babies murdered every day in the United States alone: 4000. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.</p>
<p>In no way do I mean to belittle those who have given their lives in service to our country or those whose lives were taken away by cold, heartless killers on 9/11.  I simply hope that this shows you the vast number of abortions  that are performed everyday in the US. </p>
<p>Pro-abortion liberals love to say that they think abortion should be &#8220;safe, legal and rare&#8221;.  Which begs some questions.  If there is nothing wrong with abortion- if you aren&#8217;t really killing a child, just a fetus &#8211; then why should it be rare?  Why not perform them as often as we can?  If you say something should be rare, then you are at least admitting that it might be a questionable practice.  They love to say that they wouldn&#8217;t have an abortion, but they think that others should have the right to.  Well, now, I certainly wouldn&#8217;t commit rape, but maybe others should have the right to.  What if rape were safe, legal, and rare? </p>
<p>They love to throw that guilt trip on you and say, &#8220;But what about rape, incest, and cases where the pregnancy will kill the mother?&#8221;.  I mean what kind of a person are you to say that all those people who are raped have to keep their babies?  Abortions due to rape and incest combined only account for less than 5% of all abortions.  (Most sources actually say it is only 1%).  That would mean the other 95% of abortions (3800 per day) are due to people using abortion as birth control. </p>
<p>So the way that liberals get around the fact that abortion is murder is that they claim that the baby inside the womb isn&#8217;t a baby.  No folks, that is just a fetus.  It is not legally considered a baby until it is born.  Forget the fact that it has a heartbeat at about 4 weeks after conception.  Forget that most babies can survive outside the womb by weeks 25-28.  One liberal told my husband that a fetus was like &#8220;a car without a driver.&#8221;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s talk about partial birth abortion.  President Obama thinks it is wonderful.  This is the process where the baby is delivered except for the head which is still inside the mother&#8217;s body.  This way they can say it isn&#8217;t born yet so it isn&#8217;t really a baby yet.  Then the doctor takes a sharp instrument and stabs it into the baby&#8217;s brain, killing the baby.  Then the baby can be fully delivered.  Absolutely horrific.</p>
<p>There is also the little matter of the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act.  This was a measure that was to protect babies who &#8220;accidentally&#8221; survived abortion.  This measure stated that the babies could not be killed or left to die after they were &#8221;accidentally&#8221; born.  President Obama opposed a similar measure in the Illinois Senate.  He obviously feels that even though the &#8221;fetus&#8221; has been born and is now a &#8220;baby&#8221;, it still deserves to be murdered.  After all, he stated that he wouldn&#8217;t want his daughter to be &#8220;punished with a baby&#8221;.  Aw, isn&#8217;t that sweet?</p>
<p>The Bible says that God created man in his own image.  Obviously God holds human life to be very special.  &#8220;Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee.  And before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee.&#8221;  Jeremiah 1:5  KJV  &#8220;But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.&#8221; Matthew 10:30 KJV</p>
<p>I believe that life begins at conception.  Having been pregnant twice, I absolutely cannot believe that the little people I felt kicking around in my belly were not of any value.  Not real people.  Not human.  I believe that God created each life.  Do I think that if I were raped, it would be easy to keep that baby?  No, I don&#8217;t think it would be easy, but I truly believe that God would not give you a baby that he wanted you to kill.</p>
<p>What if you have already had an abortion?  Jesus died for this sin too and offers you forgiveness and salvation when you believe in him.  If you are not already a member of a church, contact a local Christian minister and ask for help and counseling.  If you are struggling with whether or not to have an abortion, please know that there are other options.  I currently know several families who would love to have a baby to adopt.  You can birth your baby and give it a nice home.  God created this child and would never want you to murder him or her.  Please explore your options with a caring Christian counselor.  If you go to Planned Parenthood, you will probably be talked into abortion. </p>
<p>Vote your conscience!  Tell your representatives that Abortion is wrong, and you will not support murderers on Capitol Hill.  God does not take murder lightly!  If you are a Christian and vote for pro-abortion politicians, I wonder how you reconcile that with God&#8217;s word.  You will be held accountable.  After King David ordered Uriah killed in the book of 2 Samuel, David confessed to murder.  He did not kill Uriah with his own hands, but his words were responsible for his death.  When you vote pro-abortion, your words are murdering innocent children.  You, like David, are guilty before God.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think you can tell alot about someone by the people they surround themselves with.  Most people have close friends that share the same interests and habits that they do.  We spend our scarce free time with like-minded Christian conservatives.  I do have people that I love who do not share my ideology, and I will always love them, but I think that most of us choose to surround ourselves with those who think like we do.  For example, I have had the same best friend for twenty years.  If you were to interview us separately, we would probably answer most questions the same.  For the most part, we share the same beliefs on God, family, and country.  This is one of the things that makes us a perfect fit.  (Another being that we are the only ones who get our jokes, but that&#8217;s another story!)  My point being that you could learn a lot about me just by knowing my friends and family.</p>
<p>If I were going to pick a group of advisors or assistants, I would certainly pick people who were similar to myself.  Especially if it were a situation where I wasn&#8217;t really able to constantly check over that person&#8217;s shoulder.  I would want someone who I could appoint and then trust that they would do what I would do in any given situation.  Those people would be acting in my stead and under my authority.  Why would I choose someone who was radically different than me?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s pretend that I am President and I decide that I would like to surround myself with a bunch of people who could advise me and oversee things that I don&#8217;t necessarily have the time to oversee.  Let&#8217;s say that I may be appointing people who wouldn&#8217;t pass a character investigation, so I make them &#8220;czars&#8221;.  They report directly to me and do not have to go through any approval by Congress.  Wouldn&#8217;t it be safe to say that these czars would probably share my ideology?  Would it be accurate to say that you could study the collective beliefs of this group and get a good idea of who I was?</p>
<p>What if one of the members of my group was Van Jones?  What would that say about me?  If one of my own hand-chosen advisors was a self-proclaimed Communist, with a history of radical anti-government comments, would it be safe to say that I shared some (if not all) of his beliefs?  Surely I would know about his stance on these subjects.  Surely I would carefully research my choices.  Well, maybe this one person&#8217;s past was overlooked.</p>
<p>But what if you then learned that I sat in the pews of a black liberation theology church for twenty years.  What if my close friend, pastor, and confidante was Jeremiah Wright &#8211; the pastor who said &#8221; G. D. America&#8221; in a sermon?  What if the same pastor who officiated my wedding and baptized my children also claimed that America deserved what happened on September 11th?  Maybe I sat in that church for all those years and never heard a word.  Maybe I heard everything.  Maybe I heard him when he preached racism against white people and then claimed that it wasn&#8217;t racist to hate white people because they deserved it.</p>
<p>Okay, so I&#8217;ve got two questionable friends.  You can&#8217;t really hold that against me, can you?  Well then you dig a little deeper and find Timothy Geithner.  I appointed him to Treasury secretary despite the fact that he had a history of cheating on his taxes.  He should be trustworthy with the Treasury, right?  Then you find Cass Sunstein.  I made him administrator of the WH office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.  He believes that hunting should be outlawed and that animals have the right to legal representation when they want to sue their owners. </p>
<p>Aside from my domestic associations that might worry you, I also feel a comraderie with international thugs like Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong-Il.  I have also decided to turn my back on our trusted allies like Israel, claiming that the Jewish people are trespassing. </p>
<p>You couldn&#8217;t hold all those things against me!  They don&#8217;t speak for me!  I&#8217;m my own person!  Just because I surround myself with radical Communists doesn&#8217;t mean I am one!  Birds of a feather don&#8217;t flock together!  Do they?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me start by saying that I do not in any way, shape, or form give a flying crap about professional football.  I think that every Fall Friday night all across America, thousands of kids put more blood, sweat, and tears into highschool football games than those overpaid thugs ever will.  Something funny happens when you get paid a ridiculous amount to do something that comes easily to you &#8211; you become arrogant and complacent.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the National Football League. </p>
<p>So everyone has heard by now that the horrible, white, &#8220;racist&#8221;, conservative Rush Limbaugh was part of a group that was trying to buy the St. Louis Rams.  Rush was dropped from this group by the Dave Checketts, who was heading the bid.  But why?</p>
<p>NFL commissioner, <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4559454">Roger Goodell</a>, cited this reason: &#8220;divisive comments are not what the NFL is all about.&#8221;  And this, &#8220;I&#8217;ve said many times before, we&#8217;re all held to a high standard here. I would not want to see those comments coming from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL &#8212; absolutely not.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sooo, let me see if I&#8217;ve got all this straight.  You can be convicted of running a <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/17/AR2007071701393.html">dog-fighting </a>ring on your property.  That&#8217;s perfectly okay.  We&#8217;ll still let you play in the NFL.  You may be dropped by your old team, but obviously the Philadelphia Eagles will pick you up.  But you absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, be an outspoken conservative.  We will make up lies about you to prove that you are an evil racist.  We are about 100% sure that you are viewing the NFL as a Plantation.  (WHAT???) </p>
<p>I&#8217;m from the Charlotte area of North Carolina.  Back when we had both the Charlotte Hornets and the Carolina Panthers residing in Charlotte, those players were always in the news getting DUI&#8217;s, getting into fights, etc.  I think the crime rate rose exponentially with the addition of each new team.  First you had Rae Carruth who was charged with murder for having someone kill his pregnant girlfriend.  Just last year, Dwayne Jarrett- a Panther&#8217;s wide receiver &#8211; was arrested for DWI.  Back when Kerry Collins was still with the Panthers, he was also arrested for drunk driving and also used a racial slur (starts with an n) against a teammate.  Interestingly enough, Collins is still in the NFL playing for the Tennessee Titans.</p>
<p>My point is, the NFL is not a bridge club.  It is not a tea party.  It is not the cub scouts.  These players, owners, coaches are not saints by any stretch of the imagination.  For this establishment to look down its nose at Rush, as if he would soil their spotless reputation, is ridiculous.  Once again, liberals have made up lies about someone because they have no other recourse.  They have no real case against him.  They hate him because he exposes them for their evil, anti-American ways.  And once again, if you do not believe the <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">liberal</span>  Socialist hogwash that is coming out of Washington, you are a racist.  And you are just waiting for the first opportunity to buy a plantation.</p>
<p>Just some food for thought:  One liberal interviewed after the G20 summit stated, &#8220;Please tell me why ANYONE would need to make more than $200,000 a year?&#8221;  The NFL should probably stick with Rush.  I don&#8217;t think he would favor capping their salaries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know when someone uses a word or phrase so often that it really ceases to have its intended meaning? Like when someone tells you that you are beautiful and awesome so many times that you wonder if they are telling the truth. What? That happens to me all the time. Well, a better example might be when someone overuses the word &#8220;literally&#8221;. For instance, &#8220;I literally just died&#8221;. Okay, you didn&#8217;t literally die, but whatever.<br />
The same thing has happened with the word &#8220;racist&#8221;. Pretty much if you are white and oppose Barack Obama, you are a racist. Nevermind the fact that he is the most dangerous, liberal President our country has ever had &#8211; you are racist.  Nevermind the fact that he has surrounded himself with self-proclaimed Communists and anti-American radicals- you are racist.  And if you happen to be black and oppose Obortion, I mean Obama, you are Uncle Tom (which is another way of saying that you are a traitor because you like hanging out with those white people too much). <br />
Of course, this is just to play into our great, self-destructive white guilt.  Our ancestors were mean,white people who oppressed and pillaged wherever they went, laying waste to entire civilizations with our germs and our guns.  This is what we are taught during our 13 years of public school liberal indoctrination, right?  We don&#8217;t even belong here, do we?  We took this land away from the unassuming Native Americans.  (I am aware that this PC term for Indians has changed to something even more PC, but I am not a very PC person so this will have to suffice.)  Let me just relieve a little of that guilt for you.  A little research in this area will show that we did not &#8220;steal&#8221; the land from the Native people.  We had European goods that they were interested in, and they were more than willing to trade land for those goods.  </p>
<p>Okay, so maybe we have a right to American land then, but nothing can excuse the white man (especially the Southern white man) from slavery.  First of all, no one is saying that slavery is a good thing.  However, the United States was certainly not the first land to have slaves.  Check out Egypt - who do you think built those pyramids?  And slavery in the US did not originate in the South.  Massachusetts was the first colony to legalize slavery in 1641.  (Virginia didn&#8217;t legalize it for another 20 years.)  The civil war was not over slavery (I&#8217;ll devote a whole post to that later).  And, most importantly to the issue of white guilt, just because I am white does not mean that my ancestors owned slaves.  Many people just weren&#8217;t wealthy enough to do so.  And even if they did, I certainly was not alive then.  Why should I be making reparations for them?  Let&#8217;s make a deal.  I&#8217;ll make reparations for slavery if you let me research your ancestors and hold you accountable for any immoral or criminal activity they may have committed.  Fair?  Any takers?   </p>
<p>One would think that if we had reached a point in our history where a black man could be elected to the highest office in the land, we would stop insisting that this is a racist country.  For him to win, he obviously had to get a few white votes. </p>
<p>I think the real issue here is that liberals have no real arguments to support what they believe.  They know that they have built their house of straw and they are trying to divert us from huffing and puffing.  It&#8217;s like yelling &#8220;fire&#8221; when there is no fire.  You might get away the first time, but if anyone falls for it the next time they have got to be pretty dense. </p>
<p>Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the like have built their careers on using the race card.  Sorry, guys.  It is just losing its effect.  You may have to research other career options.  I hear Denny&#8217;s is hiring.</p>
