Here's my idea for a editorial cartoon!

Posted by Rick on Thursday, August 27, 2009 12:37:02 PM
It is a picture of Obama on the phone in the Oval Office.  He's telling the person to whom he's speaking,

"Yes, we never fail to spin an issue to our advantage.  Go ahead and name it after him."

In another frame, outside on the front porch of the White House, you see a coffin with Kennedy's name on it and a ribbon wrapped around it.

Let's say the Iranian leadership just evaporates tonight!

Posted by Rick on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 9:27:12 AM
To whom will the media give the credit for "removing" such a vile, hate-filled administration from the face of the earth sans firing-a-shot?

B.O., of course!  The media, prone to forgetting about the "advances" made by Iran's neighbors in Iraq, will be quick to THANK B.O. for all the "work" he has done to get rid of the Iranian leadership when it was B.O. who did NOTHING to support the troops looking to bring an Iraqi form of democracy to the Iraqis at the point of a gun.

Obama is racing to take credit for what GWB did in Iran!

Posted by Rick on Monday, June 15, 2009 11:17:32 AM
Bringing free elections to Iraq is the hurdle that the "elected" officials in Iran are having to surmount today!

Who brought the idea of free elections to the people of Iraq?  Who saw this as a wedge to drive between the people of Iran and the Iranian leadership?  Was it B.O?  Nope.  You would be off by eight years, nearly.  Let's see!  Who was responsible for the State of the World back then?  Hmmmm...Wait!  It was GWB!

By doing this GWB KNEW that the "leadership" in Iran would dismiss the desires of the people and put their own guy in the winning column to the displeasure of the people taking to the streets in Tehran and all over their country.  Granted, the position that Ahmed-the-nutjob holds is inconsequential, for the most part, but it is the idea behind it.

Let's Say We Gave Algore That of which He Demanded of us Way Back When!

Posted by Rick on Friday, November 21, 2008 7:00:21 PM
Had we done this, what do you think Algore would be telling us today as people FREEZE in upstate NY and lake-effect snow blankets these same areas?  He would be telling us,
 
"Way to go, everyone, but we need to do MORE to reduce man's effects on global warming!"
 
Like your usual liberal, he would NEVER be satisfied.  This is how they are by their nature.  They demand a little, you give it to them, then they come back demanding MORE from you.  What would we be doing to help "reduce" man's alleged impact on the weather?  Less air travel, for one.  Less driving.  That's right.  Uncle Sam would have a say as to where you drove and how you got there.
 
So, let's take a moment, while we can, to THANK everyone this Thanksgiving who voted FOR GWB in '00 and '04 for keeping the liberals outside as long as they could, but like rats, they've found themselves in the cupboard again, and we may have to call Jindal extermination in four years to clean the place out again.

Could Hedge Funds Become the LAST Bastions of the Free Market?

Posted by Rick on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 12:45:54 PM
A high school friend of mine runs one of the TOP hedge funds and he was one of the five people whom the Congress asked to speak to it last week.  If you are an avid C-Span viewer, you saw him.
 
Anyway, it just dawned on me that these hedge funds MAY become the last bastions of the free market because if Pres. Elect Obama starts moving towards socialism, which is the direction we on the right see him heading after Jan 20, 2009, these funds are going to dump their stocks en masse, and the markets are going to tank.  No idea what my friend's company owns, but his job is to provide money to the people who've invested in his funds, and he does this really well. 
 
When the markets tank, as we've been told for the last eight years, we are to blame the guy at the top - GWB.  The market's tanking after 9/11/01 was GWB's fault as well, as far the media are concerned.  Granted, a LOT of the tanking has happened already, and the only direction left for it to go is up.  *shrug*  Will Pres.-elect Obama give us those glassy eyed stares that Clinton gave us at news conferences in the '90s when the markets were shooting through the roof and he didn't know why.
 
Yet, he was the media's guy and lavish praise upon him they did.
 
So, which will it be?  Will these hedge fund owners become the last bastions of the free market or will they fold and give up?  *laughter*

Come on, media!

Posted by Rick on Friday, November 07, 2008 5:30:04 AM
Your guy got elected, and the economy is tanking STILL!
 
You told us that ALL we needed to do was to elect Sen Obama, and things would be GREAT.  Well, you got what you wanted, and things are NOT turning around yet.  What's going on? 
 
Oh!  We need to fork over our 401K money to the government?  Not a chance! 
 
How much longer until you turn on him?  What will it take?

Were McPlain leading in the polls and Wall Street was experiencing the SAME thing...

Posted by Rick on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 12:39:13 PM
they would be blaming it on HIM!  Yet, since their guy is the guy leading in the polls, it's not HIS fault that investors are reading what the bathroom walls are telling them and getting OUT of the market before Obambi's tax increases start taking affect.  They will tell us that it's the republicans' fault.  The party that HASN'T run Congress for TWO years.  The market started taking this nose dive AFTER Nancy Pelosi took her crown as the House leader in the beginning of '07.  Were there a republican to blame, his butt would be nailed to a chair in front of MANY House committees before the Pelosi and Reid have him/her nailed to a cross and hung for everyone in the world to see.
 
Since there is no one to blame, Pelosi and Reid are to blame.  Were there a sacrificial guilty party, you would have seen him or her being skewered.  So, this is pap. 
 
We're toast.

What happened to Bush in eight months will happen to Obama within six months!

Posted by Rick on Monday, October 20, 2008 2:09:36 PM
 
Forgive me for not reading the column linked above, but my tiny brain doesn't need to concern itself with the details.  It has determined what the column is trying to tell us just from the title of the column, and it is this,
 
"What happened to Bush in eight months will happen to Sen. BO within SIX months, should he get elected."
 
To me, this sounds like a reason NOT to elect the guy!  They want to equate BO with GWB before he gets into office so that should things turn black, people will be able to raise the VP to the position of fortune teller.  *shrug*

Colin Powell is Sen Obama's response to plumber

Posted by Rick on Monday, October 20, 2008 9:36:43 AM
In my tiny mind, Sen. Obama called Colin Powell after the release of the video of him and Joe-the-plumber discussing politics and the Senator letting his mask slip a bit to reveal him as the socialist we on the right all know him to be.  Senator Obama revealed that he wanted to "redistribute" the taxes Joe would be paying were he to buy his new plumbing business and go into business for himself.
 
The USS Obama is sinking, and Powell is the only cork the Senator believes he has that can plug the holes, and the holes are his fault due to his big mouth spouting off the usual liberalist rant he likes to use when he is speaking with his closest friends back home in Chicago.  Ohio is CLOSE to Chicago, but only geographically.

But did Barack vote for it before he voted against it?

Posted by Rick on Friday, October 17, 2008 12:33:51 PM
Barack has done it!  He exposed himself as being the Marxist we on the right all knew him to be.
 
He was trying to explain his tax plan to an alleged "plumber" whom he met while a camera was taping the conversation.  He was a guy who "has a dream."  When one of their own had a dream 45 years ago, he gets the media's support.  This little plumber guy has a dream to earn $250K a year working as a plumber, and the media go wild trying to discredit the poor guy, and Obama wants to tax him to make it easier on everyone else who hasn't reached his level of success yet.
 
John Kerry did it four years ago, and the latest democratic nominee has done it again.  Seeing the media's response to all the hullaballoo this story has created tells those of us who recognized this with JFK that the wrapper has fallen from the gift and revealed him to be just as bad as JFK seemed four years ago.
 
Thank you, Barak HUSSEIN Obama.
 
Vote NObama on November 4th!

The Plumber vs. Sen. Obama.

Posted by Rick on Wednesday, October 15, 2008 7:35:35 AM
Did my ears deceive me?  Did that REALLY happen?
 
Did Fox, this morning, play a clip of Sen. Obama explaining to an everyday plumber that he was going to take HIS (the plumber's) money and give to people behind (socialists' term for people who earn LESS than you do) him?  OMG!!!
 
Stick a fork in Obama 'cause he's DONE!!!
 
With this nine-second clip, Sen. Obama has just nailed himself to his socialist cross and he's toast.  Forgive me for not posting it here.  It seemed wiser to write about it first while the brain's juices were flowing than to postpone it until a link for this clip revealed itself.

Are the stones of the Obama campaign crumbling already?

Posted by Rick on Sunday, October 12, 2008 5:47:18 PM
 
If you follow the link above, you will find a column that tries to explain to us that Sarah Palin is NOT the conservative we have made her to be.  Well, media folk, neither was GWB, but he BEAT your candidates TWICE.  Sarah Palin is CLOSE enough to a conservative to keep most of us happy.  The only unhappy people are the "independents" who are never happy, but McCain, for SOME reason or another, likes to think that these are "his people."
 
Sen. McCain, you can't please people who CAN'T make up their own minds!  *laughter*

It All Depends On What Your Definition of "Here" is.

Posted by Rick on Friday, September 19, 2008 6:00:28 AM
Like everyone else who associates him or herself with Townhall.com, a couple of months ago saw me getting an e-mail petition to sign that said, basically,
 
"Drill Here.  Drill Now."
 
The result of this petition would be shown to the leaders in Washington, allegedly, to give them an idea as to what "We the people" want to see them doing to address the increase in fuel prices.
 
What do we get from Comrade Pelosi?  We get a bill that "allows" drilling only in places where oil companies know that there is NO oil - outside a 50-mile limit from the shore.  Okay.  If THAT the way she wants to play it, fine.  Forgive me for being ignorant of drilling technologies, but isn't there a technology that we're going to use in ANWR that allows us to drill there utilizing an area relative to that of a postage stamp on a football field.  Why can't we utilize this SAME technology in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Mexifornia?  Sure.  It's going to COST more to utilize this technology, and we can VOTE all the dems out of office in November for throwing us THIS bill as a "compromise." 
 
Let's just be glad that they didn't try to redefine what "NOW" means.

Why Can't The Dems Call Her Plain Palin?

Posted by Rick on Thursday, September 18, 2008 6:15:35 PM
Sure!  It doesn't rhyme.
 
My tiny brain CANNOT wait until the VP debates that first week in September!  Did Obama follow the usual wimpy democratic tactic of sending out his underling, Biden, to take the first shots that Gov Palin is going to be sending his way?  The VP debate is scheduled for October 2nd, and my ears haven't heard about a debate between the BIG guns prior to this.  Some popcorn would be GREAT to eat as the rockets fly.  Another question that needs to be answered is what will Biden be wearing for "protection?"  *laughter*  Will be be wearing a condom?  *grin*  If he's smart, he going to be wearing MORE than that condom!  He going to want to be wearing a cup, helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, shoulder pads just to keep him as safe as possible after Sarah-cuda opens up on him.
 
This pick of Gov Sarah Palin is great on SO many levels.  Another one that most seem to be overlooking is the one where the libs are claiming that she doesn't have the "experience" to perform as a VP.  The debate ought to settle these concerns after she has ripped him a new bung hole a couple of times.  Biden won't know what hit him.  She is going to unload on him, and my suspicion is that he will be looking for the campaign's exit door after she is through with him.
 
For most of my life, liberals always have set themselves above the rest of us, and this is due to whatever they think it is that sets them above the rest of us.  Watching Sarah crush this little man in this debate will leave the liberals wondering what hit them too!  They will be telling themselves,
 
"I thought Joe Biden was supposed to be smart since he is a Senator from Delaware.  What happened?  Sarah is only an Alaskan governor.  This doesn't make ANY sense."
 
Watching him trying to BREATH as Gov. Palin comes after him with BOTH her debate guns a blazing will be a treat!
