Wake Up America

This is an excellent article and facts that people need to consider voting day.

Right now we could be drilling for our own oil. Bush lifted the ban on drilling, but what has been done? Nothing. For months now we've been suffering high prices, not being able to travel, much less joy ride, and all this time we could have been drilling and we'd be that much further ahead.

But, no, the Congress dilly dallies while we burn.
Right now we're getting a small break at the pump, but not for long when OPEC raises its' prices as they are set to do.

I heard Obama say today the we Americans are going to have to suffer, turn the heat down, wear sweaters. Where have I heard that before? Carter anyone?

I get so mad about this I could scream. Hey can ya hear me scream all the way to NJ?

Pepp

Yup I can hear the screams because I am screaming just as loudly.
What is going on with these people?? How can so many in that party be so blind and stupid?
Why is what is so obvious to so many of us be ignored by them?
I am almost convinced it is time for another revolution! I hate to see what the 100 days of an Obama presidency will bring.
We conservatives better get in the storm cellar and hunker down. The trouble they will make will take decades to recover from, if it's ever possible.

Words

DEPENDANCE. POWER. SOCIALISM.

emjayne

Absolutely correct. Funny that's what Goshawk keeps sayiny that we need to hunker down once Obama is elected if that happens.

I don't know what is wrong with these people in Congress, other than that they are some of the dumbest people I've ever seen in my life. If they were employed in any private sector business, they all would have been fired a long time ago.

It's obvious they don't give a hoot about us out here in America. We can all just eat cake like Marie Antoinette stated, while we can't fill our tanks and put food on the table.

Pepp

Thank you, for posting my article.

I can only hope that some of those fence sitters will see what is going on. I don't want to have to live through another Carter in the WH, one was bad enough.

To all:

This article was written by one of my readers Dogged and ya'll should probably address your comments to him since he authored this really good post.

I'm very pleased to have him as a guest writer on my blog and he did a great job.

Dogged

You are quite welcome and I hope too that we do not sit through, suffer through, and go broke through, another Carter admin.

Remember those gas lines when he was pres? Because he put a windfall tax on oil profits? Duh!

Then he had interest rates up to 21%, unemployment at 12%, and we had to turn down our furnaces and lights and sit in the dark to save electricity. Duh again!

Then he made a debacle of the Iranian hostage crisis. I can't think of a dumber pres. And, I think we're in for another dumb and dumber soon.

Pepp

I have an appt. I'll read when I return. Just wanted you to know about more evil...Prolific this week, new post on my blog...

emjayne

What I don't understand is how they keep getting voted into office. We the people have to ask ourselves. Is this person I'm voting for, on my side or not? Right now, if they are against drilling, they are not on our side.

Notice that Nan was against drilling before going off to sell her book for 5 weeks, while we suffered. Now before this election to get your vote she's for it, but what about after? Do you want to take the chance that she really did change her mind, I don't.

Dogged on Peppemint's blog

Really great guest appearance!

Congress and Obama keep saying that we can't drill our way out of this.

No one said we could. We do need a comprehensive plan, but drilling MUST be a part of it.

There are oil reserves in this country that are set up and ready to go and we could have oil from them within 1 to 3 years.

Pennsylvania, my state, is LOADED with coal. There is more coal in PA and WV than there is oil in Saudi Arabia. And we have the technology to efficiently and safely produce energy from it.

The need for oil isn't going away, so it's not like we're never going to use it again. And to quote a comedian, Daniel Tosh: "My SUV doesn't run on corn. Ethenol is a dream and a dumb one."

Good work Dogged

The three are tied together. Energy*Economy*National Security. And the Dems don't care about any of them. Just blind power to reshape America. I'd like to say "It's about the economy, STUPID", but that would be too insulting, and we've had too much of that around here these days :) Glad you get to post Dogged, keep it up.

Hey Pepp, Gos, Dogged, new post at my place!

emjayne

Nancy Pelosi doesn't care about us. She is trying to save the planet.

Here's something Nancy Pelosi doesn't get.

She doesn't need to save us. Every couple thousand or million years, the earth recycles itself and annihilates what it doesn't want left behind. Ask the dinosaurs, oh wait. You can't. Ask the wolly mamoths. Welp! Can't ask them either!

I truely believe at this point that Al Gore probably did invent global warming. It is inconceivable to me that with what we do know about the earth's history of weather patterns that we can't sit back and say "Maybe outside factors outside of our control within the universe are causing climate change."

Nah. The government knows everything. They're scientists now.

Nee

Words, those 3 are words the Dems don't want you to think of, they just want to impose on us.

Dogged

Spot on, brother!

As for Glo-Bull Warming.....It is part of my post today both at my blog and my column at http://www.vajoe.com. Seems The Goracle is getting hammered by The Truth again.

dogged

It is absolutely an excellent article and they keep getting elected because we have ignorant and naive voters who are only interested in what they can get out of the government and are carried away by slogans and charisma.
They don't want to know the facts about Obama, for instance, and won't listen if you try to tell them.
I came from Mass. originally and tell me why people in that state keep sending Kennedy and Frank and Kerry back to Congress. With the school systems and universities in that state there should be more educated people than uneducated! But they don't act like it!
And can't the people of San Francisco see the ignorance and idiocy of Nancy Pelosi??
Neal Boortz says there should be tests to see if people are smart enough to vote. :-)) (or something to that effect) and I am sometimes inclined to agree with him. Right now is one of those times!!

American Sweetheart

My opinion of Nancy Pelosi couldn't be any lower.
She is either too stupid or too political (am I repeating myself?) to know what's right for the country.
She has swallowed global warming hook, line, and sinker, which proves she only reads what will help her politically.

davecat

Be over later. I'm pretty sick today. I'll try to make it over later on. I have to go back to bed before I upchuck. TMI I know.

DEPENDANCE. POWER. SOCIALISM.

That seems to be the mantra coming from the Democrat Party. Unfortunately too many self-described "conservative" GOP legislators are on board. If they don't let the market work, it won't. Opening the market to new sensible energy sources will create jobs. Letting the market work will CREATE JOBS. Spending more money and sending out checks to people who don't pay taxes will kill jobs because ythey the Dems will tax the "rich" to pay for their new spending - Barney Frank just said so on DNC-TV. We need a revolution at the ballot box, people. If a revolution by ballot doesn't happen by 2010, we may not be able to stop the advance of socialism here.

American Sweetheart

Thank you.

Drilling is not the whole answer but it is a large part, right now. It will help to make us independent, and break our foreign dependence on oil. Then we need to start looking for new sources of energy that we can develop.

emjayne

I only have one word that I have used to describe her during her reign as dictator of the house: tw*t

No other word is fitting. It's not intelligent, but then again look whom we're speaking of. She hasn't earned any other name in my book.

Sorry, Dogged, but

"energy independence" is a scam. It cannot and it will not happen.
http://gumballs.blogtownhall.com/2008/09/26/the_energy-inde pendence_scam.thtml
It DOES, however, offer further evidence that Tom DeLay was correct when he said, "Demagoguery beats data."

Davecat

Thanks Davecat,

"The three are tied together. Energy*Economy*National Security."

You are so right. I don't understand why people don't realize that. They just listen to the talking points and think they are getting the whole truth.

Pepp2

Hey! Thanks for stopping by the corner-here's what I know about the excutive orders/ACLU connection-(I know many eyes read these blogs so I will choose my words very carefully) A caller on a talk show mentioned concerns about what he has heard himself-he did not give the source of his information. He was worried because of the very litigation cases the ACLU is now famous for.I really hope that what he had heard is indeed-just a rumor. We all know the real intentions of the so called "fairness doctrine" and the very thought of "orders ready to sign" prepaired by an organization like the ACLU is very real cause for concern not only for Christian America but for all who believe in indavidual freedom for all.

Crawfish

Thank you, brother

I'm glad people are starting to wake up to the Glo-Bull Warming scam, being pushed by The Goracle. The truth sometimes hurts.

I'll be over when I get a chance.

Dogged/Peppermint2

EXCELLENT post!!! Should be a must read for everyone. SHould be on John McCain's web site and Ads!!! Great job of presenting clearly what is the real issue facing this nation.

No Minds Have Changed For Some Time


Awhile back minds quit changing on who to vote for.
After all the information about Obama has been put out for public consumption. His own statements, Biden's statements, Association with people who truly hate America...after all this information has been put out for the voters and he still has almost half the polled voters is a sad commentary on the American people.
That half of the country would vote for a Marxist simply because he promises them something for nothing is a statement of the mindset this country has reached.
There are two voter camps.
There is the camp that wants to have the OPPORTUNITY to make their own way in the world;
And there is the camp that wants to sit on the porch with a hand out waiting for the postman to bring the monthly welfare check.
Sadly, it appears the second camp grows just a bit every election cycle. What are they going to do when there are more bloodsuckers than blood?

Dogged

They keep getting voted back into office because they bring home the pork.

Check out my blog for the WISDOM of our elders.

As long as we have teachers indoctrinating vice educating, and turning out functional idiots, who don't understand economics, we'll keep getting Barney Franks, Dodds, Pelosi's, etc.

Great post, Pepp

If only we could give you the biggest microphone in the world for one day and make everyone listen, this kind of common sense could turn the tide.

Sorry Dogged, my compliments to you

You have made great points. Ditto to you on my previous comment.

Too All

I want to thank all of you for taking the time to read my article and comment.

I have to be off for awhile, I will be back with more responses later. Thank you all.

DRILL NOW DRILL DOMESTIC!

You hit it, the dimwits only want what's best for them and as long as they don't have to pay, they could care less! The Carter era nearly bankrupted our economy 4ever. Carter shut down domestic production, made many oil companies go belly up and sold us out on Nuclear. Now he bows at the feet of Hamas?? What a nutcase, of course, he's a dimwit. Gasoline is down to $2.29 here, and I'm sure that's just pre-election pricing, wait until the weeks to follow. If Obama wins, expect it to rise sky high. With Pelosi at the helm, even more so!

Wind power isn't feasible. I did extensive research on this very subject and have written papers on it, one which I blogged months ago.
http://str8truth.blogtownhall.com/2008/04/15/nuclear_power. thtml

You're right Pepp, and remember the gov't may not be in charge of the drilling totally but they are in charge of the taxing, for gasoline it's at least 50 cents at the pump!

Dogged

My apologies, I just noticed Pepp said you're the author, nice piece. Re: Pelosi, did you all hear about her 'tuna' company and the bills passed quickly in unison to keep it thriving?

http://www.nysun.com/opinion/pelosis-fishy-deal/46644/

Dogged

Good and timely article!

Who was it that said "Let Them Eat Cake." I think that attitude reflects the opinion the Dim/Liberal/Socialists have of the People! The only use the Dim Socialists have for the People is to take (steal) our money through tax's and make themselves very very rich.

Playing on the public's lack of knowledge, or interest. They continually come up with schemes to extract more money from the working stiffs. Taking an advantage of a disaster to motivate people or Creating a fictitious Global crisis is always a good way to "move" people toward their schemes.

First we have the Goricle pushing his Glo-bull warming scheme. And now we have the so-called Energy Crisis!

So we have Red Nan Peloski with several hundred thousand dollars invested in T-Bone Pickins natural gas and wind turbine scheme.

By playing up the need for alternative energy. And forbidding offshore drilling. Or any drilling for that matter. Thus keeping gasoline prices high. Then the big push for alternate energy and the people will demand that the government do "something!"

Well, Peloski and other Demobums are set up and ready to subsidize the Pickens scheme with tax payer money. They all stand to make billions on the backs of the American people.

Talk about Abuse of Power! They could care less about the people except to use them and their tax money.

They should all be prosecuted and hanged

emjayne

If Ovomit manages to get in with a majority in both houses. It probably will take a revolution to remove them. Trying to "vote them out" would be laughable!

American Sweetheart

You're post's about Peloski is right on! An the word you use to describe her is very kind compared to words I have for that B!tch!

Gunny

You're statement "As long as we have teachers indoctrinating vice educating, and turning out functional idiots, who don't understand economics, we'll keep getting Barney Franks, Dodds, Pelosi's, etc."

Is right on the mark! And the schools can only get worse if full Socialism becomes the norm.

Chad

We do need to create new jobs in our country. Drilling for oil, finding and developing new energy sources will do just that.

If we could put a man on the moon in less then ten years we can do this also.

The only things stopping us are the Dems in office that only wants to find new sources for the future.

goshawk

haha glad you enjoyed.

I'd love to hear you rant about her, but filters :(

Buck

I can’t agree with you more, with all the information that’s out about O he still has a lead in the poles. The American people are being sold a song and dances buy the MSM and the DNC and they believe it.

Any time anyone brings up his past the MSM and his lawyers attack that person, just look at Joe the plumber, all he did was ask a question, because O answered his question the wrong way the MSM goes after poor Joe.

Goshawk

You know it!!
We are headed for the worst time in this country for many years and no way I see to avoid it.
The public schools are teaching socialism, by example if not overtly. The universities are filled with liberals and socialists. The young are hearing the message from all directions.
The MSM is just about completely taken over by liberals and socialists. The moveies and TV are taken over by homosexuals and porn.
Does anyone see a light in the clouds ahead?
I would love to hear of one!!

Gunny

I’ll check out your blog for the WISDOM piece as you said.

As long as bad teachers are still in the classroom we will have this problem. This is a perfect example of how unions can hurt the American people.

Bob

Thanks, common sense, that’s the one thing for some reason most of us don’t listen to, or think about. Maybe we are just too busy in our everyday lives.

str8

Carter was and still is a piece of work. All those people who say we can live with O for four years either don’t remember, Carter, or weren’t born yet. If he hadn’t let the terrorists take over Iran the Middle East would not be the mess it is today.

You’re probably right about the gas prices, that’s exactly what I think will happen too. Quickly followed by drilling restrictions, as in no new drilling. The Dems stand to make a huge pile of money from the alternate sources of energy. If they allow drilling they would have to wait a while for their ship to come in. Nancy has invested heavily in T. Boone Picket’s gas venture that’s why she wouldn’t let a vote for drilling come to the floor. Do I hear Conflict of interest anyone? In the mean time we the people will suffer the most.

Dogged when you say..

"If we could put a man on the moon in less then ten years we can do this also." and..

"The only things stopping us are the Dems in office that only wants to find new sources for the future."

Your exactly right! The Demo/Libs are flat lying to us! Several "Real" Oil men, you know, the guys that do the actual drilling. Have said on TV that they can drill anywhere inland and have a well "up and producing" within a year and a half! An added that they can and do work on more than one well at a time. And at many locations. IF ALLOWED too! Therein lies the source of the problem!

Our fine oil companies have the best technology and are the very best at what they do! They could have us out of this so-called "Energy Crisis" in a heart beat if the Demorats would allow them!

Gos

"Who was it that said "Let Them Eat Cake." I think that attitude reflects the opinion the Dim/Liberal/Socialists have of the People! The only use the Dim Socialists have for the People is to take (steal) our money through tax's and make themselves very very rich."

That was Marie Antoinette who said that, and yes it does reflect the attitude the liberal Dems have toward the people.

The only time they listen to us is when they want our vote, then they become our best friend, telling us exactly what we want to hear.

"Playing on the public's lack of knowledge, or interest. They continually come up with schemes to extract more money from the working stiffs"

It's a game to them, who can come up with the best schemes to take our money. When they should be thinking of ways to save us money, and they get payed to do it.

Hi, Dogged!

Drill, Baby, Drill! You made some excellent points. Madame should have been slapped silly when she shut down the house and turned off their lights to go on vacation. The GOP who remained and protested did not get much notice from the press, wonder why. The Dems want to control when we can leave our houses, drive, where we can go and how warm or cool our homes are. What kind of power trip are they on? Don`t get these control freaks. When fuel prices are too high, many people use public transportation and so we are held hostage to their schedules. Energy production in the US is a win-win! It would create a thousands of jobs and would boost our economy. We would save billions of dollars by not buying oil from bullies who hold the price of a barrel over our heads. It is also a matter of national security, especially now with Puty Boy sniffing around in the Arctic and OPEC ready to cut production. Very well presented essay, Dogged.

crossbow

I can only hope that they are in fact rumors, if O gets in we could have some big problems.

Gos

I know we could do it in record time.

One of my favorite TV shows this past year was, Ice Road Truckers on the History channel. They trucked in all equipment on ice, the drillers drilled hit a natural gas pocket, capped it, broke everything down and trucked it all away before the ice thawed.

But yet the Dems are saying ten years? What are they going to be doing for the first nine and three quarter years?

dawndawn

Thank you.

"Drill, Baby, Drill!"

Exactly, that's my point. We can develop other sources of energy. Right now we need what God put in the ground for us. We need to drill and we need to do it now, we have waited long enough.

To be held at the mercy of a third world country is just ridiculous, and right now that is exactly what is happening.

Dawndawn

You asked "What kind of power trip they're on?"

Socialism! If not outright Communism in the end! I think most clear thinking Americans, such as yourself, can see exactly what's happening in our government. It is no longer a government "Of The People" nor "For The People!" We the People are indeed being held hostage! Held and being used as these Socialist dictators see fit.

The perfect living example of Socialism or Communism that actually works. Is that of insects! Such as a Bee Hive or an Ant Colony! That is the "Change" Liberal/Socialists have been moving toward over many years. The workers become important only as a whole for the sole purpose supporting the collective. Any individual is expendable and will be replaced with another!

That is the world the Dim/Libs/Socialist are creating for us! Of course those in high office will be the Queens and Kings to rule over the mere Ants we will become!

God help us all if this Marxist/Communist Obama is elected President!

Gos

Excellent example of socialism, the bees and ants.

The oil cartel is about to cut supplies of oil, they control only 40% of the oil and just look at how they can control the price.

I just heard on Fox News, Iran, Russia and Qatar are talking about starting a natural gas cartel. They control 60% of the natural gas supply. Just think what they can do.

Dogged

I heard that. And guess who would benefit right away from this natural gas cartel? T Bone Pickens and our communist leader Nancy Peloski! Nice huh?

Did you also know that Russia wants Alaska back? And that Russia is planning to build a tunnel from Siberia under the Bering Strait to Alaska? One can google the info but here's one link.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/20 03672416_russiatunnel19.html

KevInFl

Thank you, for the complement, this being my first blog article it means a lot to me. What's sad is this needed to be said at all, it should have been the automatic reaction of the people who were elected to serve and protect our nation.

I just finished a unit

with my Freshman Physical Science class on energy, energy sources, and energy use....They were amazed to hear that the US has had ONE nuclear accident in the Nuclear Era and that was confined to the power plant. We have hundreds of Nuclear Naval Vessels (and have since the 50's), dozens of nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons, and our only accident was three mile island. The kids were amazed, they thought that Nuclear accidents happened regularly...And if they thought it, many of their parents did as well. I wonder why?

Hey Dogged!...

"If we vote for them and accept more of their plans and excuses that have hurt our great nation, it will be our fault."

You said a mouthful here. Its the nuttiest collection of voters in this generation. They've got great educations but not one ounce of common sense or street smarts. And I'm talking the ones who will vote for Obama. They operate on pure emotion which blocks out any ability for rational thought.

Keep up the good work Dogged. I'll be lookin' for your new blog on Townhall. Here's an idea for the name: Dogged the Bounty Hunter. Ha!!
Stop by for a visit. Darvin Dowdy

Wil

Just the potential of a nuclear accident frightens people. Yes, Three Mile Island was handled well. It was contained. But when people think of nuclear accidents, they don't think of TMI; they think of Chernobyl. Doesn't matter that we've shown we are capable of preventing something like that. So, I think, most of the assumption that there are frequent accidents comes from the fear of what could happen instead of being based on actual occurrences.

To be fair, it's understandable that living near a nuclear plant could be, at least, a bit unnerving. Not something that, with the current mindset, most people would want. But as I said, that mindset is based on perceived danger. Changing the mindset would require public education and reassurance on the extent of the safety measures.

Unfortunately, there's little chance of that ever happening while the Dems are in control. Since they oppose nuclear energy, their approach to the subject is to do what they do best; manipulate the emotions of the public and reinforce their fear to promote their own agendas.

Darvin Dowdy

Hey Darvin

Yeah, to us they're as nutty as it gets. We know what we have. We treasure it because we know how easily it could all slip away. But you need to take a good look at that generation. They were born and grew up during a time of prosperity. The theories and opinions they picked up from their fine educations are no substitute for life experience. They follow whatever they hear that matches their current opinion with no thought of the potential consequences. They protest whatever they dislike with no appreciation of the freedom that allows them to do so.

Easy to do both when you consider everything you have as "just the way life is and always will be". They're a prime example of the "what happens elsewhere can not happen here" mentality.

But in spite of how much they need a rude awakening, I'm hoping they don't manage to put us in a situation where they get one. That is a learning experience that the rest of us really, really don't need to share.

twisted logic -- capitol D

Hey, if you like that energy plan...just wait till you see where they put their energy after election.

Dogged

all to true---new post up at the corner!

Dogged -- New Cartel

I saw that Puty, Imanutjob and Qatar are discussing/implementing, hoping and changing for a new natural gas cartel in the region. Energy used as a weapon and its distribution is being held over the heads of everyone because it is vital for our economies and lifestyles. Our esteemed Dems in Congress would have us lighting candles to read by. People need to wake up, now! They are arrogant in their behavior acting as if the election is already over!

Hi, Goshawk

and Peppermint! Things are getting rough out there! In Colorado, protesters attacked Gov. Palin`s motorcade! The police were dragging them out of the street. Yard signs are being vandalized, stolen or destroyed and cars, keyed just for having McCain stickers. American Sweetie has a great photo on her blog that someone put in his yard as a response. Win or lose, election night will be rough in some areas. It won`t be because of actions of those on the right!

Now the MSM and bloggers are slamming Sarah because the campaign bought her some new clothing for $150,000. I posted a response on the main thread that Michelle had lobster and Iranian caviar, Sarah deserves every stitch, etc., and was called out as a liar! Rough over there, too!

Read at American Thinker, with two weeks to go and after all the glowing free media coverage, Ovomit will be charging beau coups dinero from the press for entre into his victory soiree. Talk about arrogance of the Ocamp and Dems now. Hope I stay sane these next two weeks. Take care!

Yes...

discussing new cartels. Gangs of thugs.
I saw a report that Iran and Venezuela say their governments need 80d/barrel oil to make them go.
Oh, now that's cute.

neocons

They shouldn't be and really don't have that power.

If they do, I'd like them to cite where in the Constitution (ours, not France's or Rwanda's!) they are allowed to.

Dawn/dawn

Last year Puty did just that, used energy as a weapon. People do need to wake up.

If they are successful in getting a cartel together then manipulating the price becomes very easy as they would control 60% of the supply. OPEC only controls 40% and just look what they are able to do.

To make matters even worse T Boone Pickens and all the Dems are pushing natural gas. We will be up the creek without a paddle, if we are cut off.

We need to find our own supplies of fuel so we can't be held hostage. It is a National Security issue, if some other country decides to use energy as a weapon. What exactly would stop them from shutting off the supply?

Hi, Dawn!

Yep, things are getting rough out there. And I expect them to get a lot rougher as we get closer to the end. If Ovomit should loose, I fully expect the blacks to riot after the Communist "Community Organizers" get them riled up.

I'm with you! Sarah deserves every stitch! Can you just imagine the amount of our tax money that the sitting politicians use for personal things that go unreported? All of them carry gov. credit cards.

Yeah, and that Iranian caviar was probably a gift from his buddy Ahmadinejad!

NEOCONS

That's the point, the oil companies want to fix the problem, it is the Dems in our government that will not allow them to drill for oil and natural gas.

American Sweetheart

They don't have any right to be regulating companies. The govt dose it all the time by not allowing them to do certain things, or forcing them to do something.

expressit

Yes, and I think we all know where the rest of us would like them to go. The faster the better.

dawn/dawn

With all the free passes and free publicity the MSM has given O, one would think he would be giving them free access to his victory party, along with free lobster and caviler, because they have already paid for it with there integrity.

Goshawk

Thanks. I was howling reading your post on Peloski. Great tag for that commie.

While I don't support McCain, it appears that the 20 months of Obomunism is faltering at the finish line, and Team Palin is tied or ahead.

Can we dodge the bullet a THIRD TIME?

The schadenfreude would be awesome as the libs melt down again.

dawndawn

Your post on Wednesday, October, 22, 2008 10:49 AM was spot on. I'm off 5 Nov, the wife works in the Sheriff station, and the kids will be staying home as well. Win or lose, the leftist will riot.

dawn/dawn - Gunny

I'm afraid your right win or lose we're in for a riot. I really hope we're wrong,that's something we do not need.

Hey, Dogged!

Natural Gas Deposits in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Kansas are just seeping into the environment, causing global gas emissions up through the dirt that can cause potential harm to the moles, the squirrels and the little furry, field mice and those ugly, skinny-tailed rats! But don`t drill!!! Don`t do that!!! What a country! Time is running out and it ain`t gonna be pretty! Once those sleeping masses wake up with their Obama hangovers, there is no amount of Alka-Seltzer or Aspirin that will cure those hangovers. I had a hangover before! Okay, maybe more than one (dozens)! Cheers! Maybe we should buy pharmaceuticals! And a lot of tomato juice! It`s all about money. Barack Hussein Obama may, in fact, buy this election. I think I`ll have a glass of wine! And go light some candles!

Hi, Goshawk!

and Peppermint! You Pistols! I am so thankful to have found this forum on TH with like-minded people who truly love America! This is just unreal! Cannot believe the pass Ovomit gets, coming and going! Cannot envision him in the White House with access to Camp David with his teleprompter and Michelle in tow. Saw his prissy little press availability today with his little watch and all his advisors! I don`t know if I can take it! Cannot believe the American electorate will buy into his scam, although he has serious money. Thank you, Uncle Jorge! Neil Cavuto interviewed Don Imus today. Imus spoke with JMac earlier and I guess JMac was cranky, grouchy, in a bad mood and stuck up for Sarah. What a country! Take care of each other! I am glad you are here!

Pepp & Dogged

New post at my blog, Just for fun and Halloween...

Hi, Gunny and Goshawk!

There will always be an element that can never conform to society and which thrives on destruction and havoc. Whether it is in their fervor of victory or their agony of defeat, they will bang those drums, burn those cars and smash those storefronts, usually in their own neighborhoods. Frightening times now. Don`t want to be an alarmist but everyone must remain diligent, take precautions and pray for peace.

I liked to smoke when I drank, however if you live in one of those area's where gas is seeping from the ground, be careful if you light up.

Sounds like drilling isn't necessary, maybe a funnel could be used, no need to drill. LOL!!

Just leave it to our govt, they would ban funnels. No cheap gas for us.

dawndawn

Thank you for your compliment. I like the term pistols. That fits us to a T.

I'm glad you're on here giving your opinions of things. We actually need to keep each other sane these days. The MSM is doing such a job of brain washing people, not us, of course, but can you imagine what the ordinary family who doesn't have the time, with work and kids, and all the things they have to do, to dig down into the specifics of this Obama and all they hear are glowing reports from the MSM.

Did you see what CNN did to Sarah Palin this morning? The "journalist" told Palin that the NRO wrote a bad review about her, when the article was written by Byron York condemning the media and how they have treated Palin, not condemning her. Talk about sand bagging and down dirty tactics!

To all

Did you all see the new Ayers tape from 2002 where he claims to be an anarchist and a Marxist?

This was said a week before he and BO were doing some function together.

Now, I wonder how Obama "believes" he has repented.

Pepp

"Now, I wonder how Obama "believes" he has repented."

Ayers, told him he had repented. O believed him, because he is such a good judge of character.

Dogged

Right, BO is such a good judge of character. I guess that's why he chose Biden for VP because he knew Biden would say so many stupid things even to his detriment. It's utterly laughable.

Pepp

Yeah, you are right about his good judgment. If you are just a regular person, he wants nothing to do with you. Be a terrorist and your his best buddy.

Dogged

Right. Regular, average Joes don't have a place in BO's dark heart, but anti American radicals.

And, what do you make of Murtha calling his own district racist, then he makes an attempt a an apology and calls the same people rednecks?

Oh I know if I were one of his constituents I would not be voting for that dumbo.

Pepp

Yes, choosing Biden was a brilliant move, he screws up so much, the MSM leaves O alone. Not that they were going after him mind you.

dawndawn

Can you believe that woman, Michelle O, in the WH?
It gives me the shivers. And to think some in the MSM of course have compared her to Jackie O? Come on now, Michelle can't hold a candle to Jackie O and never will. She is classless. Just another thug in my mind. Only a black woman thug. "We're mean here in America" according to her. I figure if we're so mean then she needs to get out of Dodge NOW.

Pepp

Murtha, needs to be put out to pasture. That will never happen as long as he keeps winning.

Funny how, no matter how old the Dems get, they don't retire.

Dogged

What really gets me ticked is Biden can say the most incredibly stupid things and the MSM doesn't even question one iota of it.

On the other hand, they go after Palin like rabid dogs making up every lie they can think of and more.

The bias is so utterly sickening and they don't even try to hide it anymore.

Dogged

Murtha is one of the BIG porkers so his district will probably never vote him out. They get too much pork out of the rest of us in the country.

Can you hear the squeals of delight as Murtha deposits our tax money into his district? Squealllllllll!!

Pepp

Wouldn't it be wonderful if McCain were to win, I would hope he would kick the MSM out of the WH.

Did you hear that O is charging the MSM a fee if they want to be there the night of the 4th. And they still love him, I don't get it.

Pepp

One of the reasons McCain might lose this election, he promised to kill all the pork.

A lot of people who are getting money back into their districts are afraid that it will end.

Dogged

A fee? For what? You mean his victory celebration?

I'm wondering how Obama got a hold of Iranian caviar? I thought we don't import their stuff here so where did he get that?

Dogged

Oh, you have a good point there. All those people who are getting those handouts and projects to nowhere for their districts sure wouldn't want that pork to disappear.

Pepp

Yes, a fee and not cheep either, I think the highest was $1870 for one of the areas, and $870 for another. I forgot what the other prices were.

Maybe, he brought the caviar back with him, when he visited Iraq.

Dogged

Good grief, that much to see the Messiah crowned? I could crown him and charge much less, say $5 a head.

If he bought that Iranian caviar while in Iraq he should be punished for buying from a country we have under sanction and we're not supposed to be doing business with. We're trying to ruin their economy, the dumbazz!

Pepp

Anybody who is making money from these pork jobs sure don't want to see it end.

Dogged

Ha, even the Muslims in these porker districts will take the kind of pork that's in dollars. Just think of all the mosque projects they could get and water basins to wash their feet. Or maybe new public squares for their calling to prayer times.

Pepp

You make a very good point. Now I wonder where he got it from and just how he would explain it.

Dogged

And I wonder how much he paid for it. That probably cost a fortune I would think.

Traitor, buying Iranian caviar!

Hey Pepp, Goshawk and Dogged!

What a trio! You cats sing great harmony! Hummmmmm! Bout to hit the hay. Have my last clay sculpturing class mañana. Exhibition on Wednesday at an Argentinian restaurant. My stuff is primative but not for sale!!! (This go round! Stop laughing!)

I cannot, have not and never will be hypnotized into understanding or accepting Barack Hussein Obama as president. Totally out of his league. No humility. If he were savvy, had an ounce and a half of brain matter, he would stay in the Senate, study, speak and consult with his teleprompter, and earn a reputation as ah, Senator? Maybe in 10 years, he could have the stuff real men are made of and could dare to attain the highest office with a stellar record of achievement. Okay, preaching to our choir, it is not about his race! It is about his arrogance! And don`t get me started on Bubblebutt, Michelle! Iranian caviar! Should they prevail (NO!), absolutely NO IRANIAN CAVIAR IN THE WHITE HOUSE! I tend to get emotional sometimes. Shame on me for hurling these barbs out against a couple, a party, and an ideology that is only out for power and suppression of those of us with no real power. Except for the First and Second Amendments! Hang on and Hold Tight!

Re: you're post @ 22, 2008 9:11 PM

This is indeed dangerous times we're living in. And from all indications it's going to get a lot worse! Especially if Ovomit gets elected Pres. If anyone has a sense of survival now is the time to be very vigilant to all that surrounds them. Whether it's the 'Political Atmosphere' or a Parking Lot.

Dawndawn, GunnyG

Dawn, You sculpt? Super! I'm an artist myself (oil paintings, sculpture.) Would love to see some of your work. Perhaps you could send some pictures of it to Pepp?

Gunny, what Dawn is saying about Ovomit is right on. But what's really hard to digest is just how far down the intellectual level has fallen in our country!

It looks like at least half of the American people are willing to put this creature in the White House. With absolutely NO SECURITY CHECK! Unbelievable! All of us "plain folk" could not get a job in a high security factory if we had even ONE of the questionable things in our background that Ovomit does!

Plus he refuses to expose any of his past records whatsoever and may not even be a Natural Born citizen of the United States! There is a a law suit filed against him and the DNC where the Federal courts have demanded he provide a birth certificate within 30 days. Ovomit has ignored the demand and refuses to comply!

Yet there are those that will vote him in, or allow him in the Presidency, saying none of this means anything! It's just fear mongering! Yeah right!

A link with info about the law suit below.

WOW

This brought out the crowds!! Peppermint...great idea having the guest writer!
Hope you are feeling better!!

I came out of hibernation , at least temp. to post a short scream in my blog.

Hi, Goshawk!

And Pepp! Yes! I have been going to a clay workshop for about 3 months. Clay is so forgiving! I have done five pieces, but not truly "sculpture". Masks and plaques! The teacher has a collection of animal skulls and I chose the horse and the colt. I actually felt a spiritual connection to the skulls while I was laying the clay on. And they turned out great! You put the plastic over the skull and lay the clay over it, forming the eyes, mouth, etc. Of course, I will send Pepp some photos soon! Thanks for asking!

I also have read about the birth certificate. My understanding is that if one parent is a US citizen and is born outside the US, the child has dual citizenship until age 18. Don`t know if anything will come of this. Your point about security clearances is right on. I was a secretary at Boeing and when I applied for my clearance, they went all the way back to a fruit stand I had worked at as a teenager. The point is they can find you if they are looking!

Yo Dogged! This

is a great article. Too bad the MSM don't have the gonads or integrity to publish one jut like it.

emjayne

Glad you came out of hiding. Was wondering where you were and if you fell off a cliff. Welcome back.

dawndawn

Please do send me some photos of your work. We would love to see them. Gos and I are very into art as you would imagine.

I have my own artistic skills, Ron paints in oils.

I'm really wondering about that birth certificate of Bo. I saw a forged one that someone on TH had looked over quite well.

He's probably in Hawaii getting a very good forgery done right now instead of visiting his grandma. Sounds fishy to me.

Willibeaux

Dogged did a great job did he not? Got lots of comments. We need him to be a journalist.

Dawndawn

A lot of us would love to see your sculpting work, if you could put some of your pictures up on your blog then everyone could see them. Good luck with doing it.

Gos

I can't believe that a person can become a senator without anybody running a security check on them, they have access to highly secret data. What has our country come to?

willibeaux

Thank you for the complement.

Like you I wish the MSM would write an article like this, then people like Pepp, Gos and I wouldn't have to, just to get the truth out to everyone.

Pepp

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Dogged

You're quite welcome and deserve it.

Dogged

Right. Where is that security check on Obami? I have my doubts that he could pass one. So what is up with that?

There's an article for ya. Where in the heck is that birth certificate? Why is he in Hawaii? Hm.........to see his ailing grandma or to shut her up?

Pepp

"There's an article for ya. Where in the heck is that birth certificate? Why is he in Hawaii? Hm.........to see his ailing grandma or to shut her up?"

When you say shut her up, just how do you mean that? Reason with her, or is it lights out for granny.

I would put nothing past him, and after all she is white, and he is racist.

Hey, Pepp, Goshawk and Dogged!

Feeling onery! The suit about the Ovomit birth certificate is null now. The security clearance is another story. Does he have one yet? He is being briefed by the NSA, so they must have done something. He certainly has a lot of shady characters in his past and is an admitted (past) drug user.

Families are funny/wierd. I have often thought my family was nuts and then I compared them to other families. Do find it "odd" that the Ovomits did not make the trip to see Grandma Dunham together with their little girls. It`s none of my business but it just seems odd! Would have made a great photo op also. Really haven`t seen too much of Michelle Obidet recently! Hmmmm. Also read a comment on a blog that the campaign paid for the plane ride, security, etc. Of course, that`s ok! It`s for the One.

You are so kind to want to see my art! Wednesday is the opening and I will take photos then. Kinda slow on the upload and have no clue on how to put them on the blog. Will just send them to Pepp and she will probably share them with you, Dogged. Thanks so much for your interest! Nine days and counting! Tick, tick, tick --

dawndawn

You bring up some great questions. Why did he go see his grandmother by alone? If she is really that sick I'm sure she would have wanted to see her great grandkids.

Can't wait to see the pictures of your artwork.

Pep...

..."will comply" & hey to Goshawk. DD
