Help Obama? No, Help America

Work for a color-blind community. Reject the race card and white guilt. Support charter schools, tax credits, vouchers. Demand intellectual diversity on the campuses. Resist the mediocrity drug called multiculturalism. Encourage a stay-at-home mom. Give to a crisis pregnancy center. Support the shaming of abortionists and pornographers. Boycott Hollywood.

Get arrested dumping tea in the Tidal Basin. Dare Congress to put themselves on Social Security and Medicare. Demonstrate for a timeline when GM gets privatized. Rally for right-to-work. Picket for paycheck protection. Organize for offshore drilling. Sit in for nuclear power. Coalesce for coal. Demand a tax-favored, direct-pay option for your medical costs.

Ridicule the climate alarmists. Tell Biden jokes. Circulate ACORN soup recipes. Start a Palin Club. Launch a Messiah milk carton movement (“Savior of 2008, mysteriously missing in 2009”). Retire Pelosi and Reid in 2010. Draft Petraeus in 2012. Get active as a Democrat and elect more blue dogs. Or get active as a Republican – not because they’re so much better, but because opposition is liberty’s lifeblood.

Voila, just that quickly: 50 ways to help America survive Obama. Please list more if you can. The lengthening lists on both sides will make us a better nation, just for the involvement they stir.

Long after BHO is gone, the USA will endure. But in what form? As he revs the motor for change, someone has to hit the brakes for continuity. I don’t want our kids inheriting a country that a rookie wrecked. Not even Huttner and Salzman want that.

Excellent additions to the list, Stan. Good for you!

You must be one of the few conservatives in WA, but you're not alone. The rest of us are with you.

How about:
Pay off your debts
Ask your doctor what he would charge you if you paid him cash.
Help someone become a citizen - legally!!
Organize support for tax reformation (flat, sales, or...)
Make it a policy to only hire legalized citizens of the United States.
Vote.
Get your friends to vote.
Drive your neighbor down and let them vote (it's about time you met them anyway).
Volunteer in the local food bank.
Run for elected office and serve only one term.
Write your elected officials at least twice a year.
Work on a campaign staff.
Start a national referendum to put Congress on the same benefit packages the rest of us have.
Take a day off every now and then and attend school with your kid...

Lilly and her posts are not the issue. The task at hand is to expand the list of how we can help America survive this administration.

Please, let's stop fighting with people like Lilly who are asking for a fight. Ignore them, and they will go away.

We ought not be 'celebrating' any skin tone, ancestry, or sex (Women's History Month). All that is, is an exercise in liberal white guilt. So yes, by all means let's please do away with all the celebrations of characteristics that are after all mere accidents of birth, and celebrate genuine accomplishment instead, by whomever it comes about.

Deal? :)

If lilly was voicing "her" opinions and not parroting Liberal "talking points", I would give her some slack. She doesn't think for herself. When someone comes here and merely chirps out Media Matters and Kos, then they should be prepared to get slammed.

I get your point about not feeding lilly as I have said the same thing about Hal before.

But lilly does not "converse" with anyone, she usually hits and runs, coward that she is.

Do you see her refuting the comments of St. Denis and Standshisground today? No. They are using facts and demolishing her assertions but lilly will not be back to defend her comments simply because she is unable to do so.

Personally, I gain knowledge and a wider perspective by reading the posts of those who take on silly lilly-livered lilly and expose the fallacy of her "argument."

Use lilly and other trolls as a learning tool and a good way to amuse yourself. Or, if you simply can't stomach the trolls, just scroll by them. Believe...

Rather sharp tongued with Lilly today but I understand as Lilly has gotten my goat a few times as well with her mostly off the mark comments. She is entitled to her opinions however, so don't be so hard on her. Enjoy reading you as you are pretty well informed and always have interesting things to add. By the way, please tell us what you think about Obama..:-)

There were a lot of advisors that were in charge of certain areas like manpower, production, rubber, etc. during the WWII. While the GOP may have referred to them in the pejorative sense, it was only in the 1970s that the name "Czar" gained widespread acceptance in the media and government.

Truthfully, it doesn't matter what they are called. If they have any authority, then they are unconstitutional, which even Byrd agrees. When our government has more Czars in one period than the Romanovs had in 300 years, something is seriously wrong.

The GOP seemed to have used the term as early as 1944 when they called for a "Food Czar."

I know she is frustrating, but we need to keep Lilly around as our current class clown. Hal Donahue seems to have dropped off the radar screen. We need some entertainment in this world of crazies and a reminder what the other side is thinking.

Now, all of you say you are sorry for picking on Lilly. She's just a little 'ole lady out for her last years of fun.

Since you seem to have such contempt for such a large cross-section of America (meaning, conservatives) and this country's operating economic system, at least until recently, anyway (capitalism), why don't you simply go back to your native Argentina? Or better yet, Cuba (and as a side benefit, they speak the same mother tongue YOU grew up speaking) or North Korea, where you won't have to put up with "bourgeousie oppressors", which capitalists supposedly are?

What, did you come to this country and discover only upon arriving here that to your horror - GASP! - you had actually come to a CAPITALIST and not a COMMUNIST country? So when you discovered this, why didn't you quickly re-route your final destination to the Soviet...

There may be some disagreement on the use of Czar by FDR, but there is ample evidence that he referred to them as Dictators. I doubt that the commie lovers in FDR's administration would have used the term "Czar". Many of FDR's "brain trust" journeyed to the Soviet Union in the 20s and early 30s to pay homage to "Uncle Joe" Stalin.

They would have picked someone more deserving if he had lost--say Wei Jingsheng (who should have won it). But he won and 12 days into his term he was nominated.

St. Denis:

The term goed back to at least Wilson and was used during the FDR administration, but they didn't become common place until the 1970s.

"Defend Israel to the death..."

And this related to helping the US in what way? Does "Defend Israel to the Death" include defending it when it sells advance weapons to China? Attempts to sink US warships or uses Americans to spy on the US and then trade that information to countries bent on the destruction of the US?

And since you "suspect China" and "Defend ISrael to the Death" what happens when these two goals are in conflict such as let's say Israel wants to sale PHALCON to China?

Mariah Carey, Derek Jeter, Halle Berry, and Alicia Keys "black". They all have white mothers. This is not the 1920's. The "one drop of blood" era is over.

Obama didn't "give" Republicans anything in the stimulus package. He didn't even participate in the drafting of the damned thing. He failed. The Democrats failed in their crapulous. Republicans knew that tax cuts would spur growth. The Democrats refused and now unemployment is near 10%. But, guess what? Obama may announce tax cuts at next year's SOTU speech.

"How long have US Presidents been calling their advisors czars? Since the administration of FDR, about 75 years ago."

Wrong. FDR called them "DICTATORS". Nixon was the first to have a Czar and call him that.

"Which President appointed the first "drug czar"?
Ronald Reagan."

At the behest of Joe Biden.

"Do czars have executive power? No. They act as advisors to the President, usually in some area in which they possess special expertise."

Wrong. The Pay Czar has the power to dictate pay and abrogate employment contracts that would pay more in remuneration than that which pleases him. He is just one of Obama's Czars that have extra-Constitutional authority and power. Even the uber Liberal Senator,...

Like the liberals want Obama to succeed, they want America to fail as they are interconnected. They won't come out and say it, but they believe America deserves to be punished and that is the only thing Obama has accomplished and he's just getting started.
