Thank you very much, Crawfish

for plugging our group's web site,"We're Watching You" on your blog post. You are a gentleman, a scholar and a red blooded American Patriot. Much appreciation goes your way, Sailor.

excellent post as always. $6,000,000.00 for snowmaking in DELUTH MINNESOTA where they have to dig their way out of it multiple times every winter??? What DC idjit came up with this brain buster? No wonder we're bankrupt.

Thanks for always telling it like it is.

bobbie

I just gotta learn to not be so timid and occasionally say what I feel......

Crawfish

Please note that the judge in the Holocaust deniers case is very likely a Jew.

Yep, sure has a good chance, doesn't he.

Newt...


The moon-faced former conservative named after an amphibian.

He needs to go back to the backwoods of Georgia, and inbreed some more or something.

Break out the bajos, boys!

crawdad, lemme tell you sumthin' about..


...these Tea Parties. Does Glorious Leader pay attention to them? No. Does San Fran Nan pay attention to them? No. Boxer, Ried, Kerry? No. But they don't have to, because they are only going to get elected by nut cases anyhow. There are however enough people up there on the Hill who NEED to pay attention because their re-election depends on the people attending these parties and without them Obama and Pelosi can't get the votes.

As to the latest example of what a backstabbing religion Islam is. I hope he lives long enough to be thrown to the hogs.

Newt only admitted the mistake after it was pointed out to him. Could be he did zero homework before making his pitch or he's been hanging around the inside so long she really looked Right Wing. Either way Brian is correct, time for Newt to take retirement, maybe write a book or two to stay in beer money but it is definitely time to hang up the spurs.

Another well done

Compendium of the morass of what passes for 'news' these days.

arik

Now THAT would be interesting...

Brian

I keep having flashbacks to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

"She turned me into a NEWT!......I got better."

Ray

It's quite telling that the House vote is now questionable for Saturday, because a large number of bluedog Dems have now come out against the bill. Might they be fearing for their jobs?

Give him some bacon grease in his IV.

Maybe he was getting his info from the 11 county leaders who nominated her and from her own tales. She convinced Smerconish that she's really a Reagan conservative most of the time. Then again, Smerconish has gone seriously squishy-middle lately.

Gar S

Paying attention to the news lately is a maddening experience. I really do need to start getting paid for this stuff.

Crawfish

I am still going to defend Newt. It was a tough situation when your party's candidate is lame. I am sure he only wanted someone other than Owens to win. One thing is for sure that GOP vs. Conservatives = Democrat win! Even if he endorsed Hoffman, Owens still wins. We can't continue to cancel votes in three way races.

Patrick B

That's why the party leaders need to make sure that they put forth candidates who support the core values of the Republican Party. If Newt had come out immediately for Hoffman, and pressured the leadership to do the same, Hoffman could have won.

Crawfish

Why won't they just admit the gunman Hassan is an Islamic terrorist or a nut bag.


I've seen who the left, such as the NY times or the LA times and Time magazine politicizes this. They think other soldiers will follow. Doubtful. Like you said, he either is a terrorist, a coward, or a nut job.

Crawfish

Phriday Phunnies... here we go.... A)C I D. This will be a helpful tool. B)Hmm... a muslim. You'd never know it by the way the steno pool has reported it.Prayers to the victims and survivors. DAMNATION for ANY muslim who does not condemn this s#!t.C) Obama was on those returns like stink on s#!t. The narcissist thinks it was ALL ABOUT him. D)Democrats LIE about things?? Fudge the numbers??? Say it ain't so!! Who'd a thunk it? (Sarcasm off).E) See D). Hey,Joe: See what trying to "get along" with these azshats gets ya? I'd have thought you would have learned that years ago. F) See D) YET AGAIN. Such redundancy. G)Norwood wins,Atlanta burns. No question about it.H) Nuck Fewt.Along with ANY OTHER R who supported Scozzofava. Newt's jumped the damn shark,no doubt.I)Sounds like Smerconish needs to step away from the Kool-Aid pitcher. J)
As damn well he should. Time to make RINO's extinct.K)Like these muzzie famel cuckers are going to pay ANY bit of attention to what she says. The thought of Hitlary! sucking up ANYTHING
is SOOOO nauseating.L) OK,what else would a madrassa-educated lad say? M) The ONLY solution for Mr.Hunt is this:7.62.N) I've got it!!! How about she lets her kids PRACTICE. At THEIR home.Here is a woman who NEEDS to be made sterile. OBVIOUSLY has NO concept of the great gifts she has been given.O) You know what's in store next. Bonus points if you said a public stoning. Till death. Continued...

Crawfish

Phriday Phunnies cont'd... P)I can understand the dhimmis doing this stuff,but Shelby? Say Buh-Bye,Dickieboy. Q)Looks to me like the Tribiots OWE Pat76 some money. Cash only,Pat 76,can't trust the Trib's check to clear the bank. R) That comment by buck was an EXCELLENT one.Among many he makes. S) Yep,some good stuff. Too bad the dhimmis won't even give it a cursory glance while they're tossing it into the trash. T) Talk about fukkin ridiculous.THAT would take up HALF the damn machine. Would be nice to see the vending industry tell her to fukkoff. U) Damn dhimmis and their CONSTANT projecting what THEY want to see onto the republicans. Lousy lyin' bastiches,anyway.V) I couldn't believe this one either. Can you imagine what this forse hucker is going to go through when the other cons find out WHY he's in? THAT should go on Pay-Per-View.
W)Newsweek. Not fit for intellegent consumption. This is ANOTHER rag that won't go paws up soon enough.X) Well,when your sort-of black azs is OWNED by the aforementioned,you let them in WHENEVER they want. Obama is going to need Soros-like money to keep the First Hag in the style she has become accustomed to this year. THAT could surpass the Obama era debt. Y) Had these two tried this in the OLD Russia,we would never have heard about this.They'd be somewhere in Siberia.Z) Better late than never for ol'Cal. Whatta pile. See ya Tuesday.

Crawfish

Long though Nancy the Red's nose may be, that's not her home district she's smelling, it's her own nether regions, where her had has been lodged for some time.

And did you notice: The Horse Buggerer didn't catch anything from the horse, the Horse caught it from HIM!

The British

downplayed the Tea parties also---this current congress and administration is about to get a history lesson! I believe Virginia and New Jersey can give us some clues!!(I posted about Ft Hood) Liberty still shines--allways will God bless our armed forces and God bless America!

Queen Nanny

proves us right everytime she speaks!So much for the "transparent" congress!!This stunt she is pulling today only further proves all they want is to advance "their" adgenda--they are just like the aliens on the new series V!!resistance time anyone???I 'm in!!

On Smerconsquish and Mr. Newt

If I'm not mistaken, Smerconsquish was an Obama supporter in 2008, wasn't he? So is it any surprise that he acts as though Scozzafava was "purged" from the Party for being a "moderate"? Card check, tax payer funded abprtions, and support for the stimulus aren't "moderate"...they are flat-out liberal positions!

As for Mr. Newt, I'm not going to make any inbred Southerner jokes about him, but I will say that he cannot talk his way outta this one. He did not just support the Party nominee, he parroted the liberal and GOP establishment lines about the eeeevilll conservatives attempting to purge the GOP, and he attacked those from outside of the distric who had the nerve to attempt to influence the race. He showed his true colors on this one, as he went full bore after conservatives for opposing a liberal alleged Republican. Newt is simply a Party hack and a political opportunist...end of story.

Eric

The lefties keep saying he is just a nut. They're trying to say Islam has NOTHING to do with it.

Obama said we need to NOT rush to judgement, but he rushed to judgement when a white cop arrested a black man who was breaking into a house, didn't he? Protect the blacks and the muslims at all cost.

Crawfish

I don't care how "Green" Newt tries to spin his endorsement, when I vouch for someone I understand that it is my reputation that is on the line. No sale!

Truth, Justice, and the American way! Since when does a job description for Superman translate to a simple task? HaHaHa!

clyde

a) Hope lots of folks check out We're Watching You! I'm gonna feature it for a couple of weeks.
b) The leftie blogs were going nuts blaming gun-crazy Texans until the truth came out. Then silence.
c) He campaigned in both VA and NJ, so it partially WAS about him!
d&e) at least Lieberman's calling him on it
f) hoist the "2nd repeater" flag
g) and they'll burn their OWN neighborhoods, so the taxpayers can pay to rebuild them
h) Newt is toast
i) well he DID endorse Obama...
j) The GOP needs to set some standards
k) They're paying attention to her, as long as she bashes Israel
l) Support Israel. oppose the Democrats
m) or 5.56
n) Another reason to send all of them back to their homelands
o) I'd say bomb them into the Stone Age, but that would just improve them

clyde 2

p) Shelby's obviously gone senile
q) Lots of media are picking it up. I saw another article like that from Miami Herald
r) I liked it
s) They won't even let it get discussed in public hearings
t) Too bad she technically has the authority to do it...interstate commerce clause...unless the machine, ownership, location, and all products inside are from the same state
u) Where's the media? (crickets)
v) (still shaking head)
w) Snoozeweek
x) You call that style? I call it Ghettohowhohitalottery
y) or Lubyanka
z) Cal's usually pretty good, but not really my style

c-bow

Just look back at 1993. New Dim-ocrat President riding a wave of public approval. Attempting to socialize health care. VA's Dim-ocrat Guvna is term-limited out. President campaigns for him. Noo Joisey has a lefty Guvna. President campaigns for him, too. GOP wins both governorships, and a groundswell of conservatism brings big GOP wins the next year.

Shadow

She's more reptilian than the Visitors.

E-50

Yes, Smerconish did indeed favor the Obamination. Scuzzy is pointing out her voting record, but not what she was saying in the campaign.

Newt did try to say that he had a record of building coalitions to give the GOP control. That's nice, but you don't build a coalition that represents the GOP base by building it to the left of center.

Sarge

Truth, Justice, and the American Way is what conservatism is all about.

claw

The Stupek Amendment on abortion might trip up some moderate Dems in their drive to help Pelosi-Obama socialist care today as they vote. Keep an eye on that. Drop my anytime. And as bonnie wrote, you were verbose today as O'Reilly might say on his word of the day! LOL

Good stuff Crawfish,

it cost them over $900,000.00 in campaign contributions, much embarrassment, a Congressional seat, and (hopefully) THEIR JOBS, Yes.
Not many would call muslim POS's subhuman but after reading about mum I would have to agree. I would definitely call failure mm mm mmm's muslim brother and they are brothers no doubt, Hasan about as subhuman as it gets, he should be unplugged Pronto.

finalrac

The arm twisting by P-Lousy, Hoyer, Obama, and Soros is amazing/sickening to watch. I want someone to stand up on the House floor and shout at Red Nanny, "YES WE ARE SERIOUS! WHERE DOES THE CONSTITUTION ALLOW THIS CRRAP?"

R E

Unplug him after forcing 5 pounds of ham down his throat.

5 pounds of ham down his throat

Amen.

Unplugging Hasam

would only allow him to fulfil his wish to be a martyr.

I say, keep that scum hooked up to machines that feed him, breath for him, even take a dump for him, for as long as he lives - and spare no expense to ensure that is a very, very long time. I want his paralysed arse to lay there for year after year - unable to do anything except contemplate what an abject failure he is - knowing that he blew his shot at 72 virgins, and there's not a damned thing he can do about it now.

Crawfish Facts

A couple days ago in the chatroom, YLG and I were talking about your blog, and I mentioned that I wondered when you found time to sleep.
YLG said you didn't need to sleep, because you were Crawfish.

Well in honor of Chuck Noris' new "Facts" book, I decided to create some Crawfish Facts.

Hope ya like 'em. :o)

Would it really be martyrdom if he was defiled by pork products before going to meet his 72 virgin male camels on viagra? Ham in every orafice, even using a catheter as necessary.

Jackpine Savage

I'd blush, but someone would think the red meant I'd been cooked.

Another masterful job of reporting all

the news that'll curdle your stomach. The obsolete media could take lessons from the Craw.

Thanx so much for your mention of the "We're Watching You" project and inclusion of the website link. We're showing 71 hits so far and I know that some of them are attributable to your readers. That's not many, but it's a start. We should all be pleased to know that the majority of those will have sent their letters to the selected ten reprobates. So each of them will have received (?) 40-50 letters so far. We WILL be noticed. And just in time for the Pelosicare bill vote too.

Thanks again for steppin' up.
G92

@Jackpine

Can't speak for the others, but on your '60 Minutes' mention - it's been a while since I've seen the show, but if it's as I recall, that's about ten minutes to much for the stuff worth watching...and that's counting Andy Rooney in the 'worth watching' category.

A few more comments

Stimulus: They're counting the jobs based on the projected tax bites, no doubt. You know, "I have to do the work of three people just to pay my taxes", that kind of thing.

My thoughts on the shooting:
To those who fought back, thank you, and may God bless you.
May the Lord comfort those who have lost loved ones.
And for the shooter himself, I can only say this: The LORD rebuke you for what you have done.

Obama wasn't paying attention, Craw. My suspicion? Hands over eyes, thumbs in ears, mouth uttering 'nah nah nah I can't hear you' througout the returns.

The 72 hour projection: Hour 1: 12:00 Noon - 1:00 PM. Hour 2: 12:01 PM - 1:01 PM. Hour 3: 12:02 PM - 1:02 PM. You get the idea. Not sure those times are accurate, though.

Hillary's stance on construction: Don't know about the U.S., but the US in her case probably don't like it. You know, "Me, Bill, Barack, Joe...US!"

Of course the current administration's blaming Israel. Aren't these the 'Blame the victim' people? (While claiming that's what conservatives do? To my knowledge, conservatives usually prefer to blame the actual guilty party...)

Don't ask for the impossible with the Holocaust denier, Craw. If the guy's not completely whacko already, merely self-deluded, there isn't a hole deep enough, and he's already in his own darkness.

About the eco-writer: Sounds like we've got another one for the choir...specifically, the choir singing this song:
"Oh worship the Gore, self sure in his praise, as others he'll bore, his monies to raise."

Apologies to whoever originally wrote 'Oh worship the King', and to all those for whom I've just permanently cramped their enjoyment of the legitimate song.

Crawfish

It’s important that we just don’t sit in our collective living rooms and shout at the top of our lungs. The time has come for communication and action. Last year the town said it did not have the money for a Veteran’s Day Parade, so this year we did not wait for the town to say no. This year the Norton Republican Town Committee did a standout at a Grocery Store and we raised enough money ourselves to have one. That is action. Message: Don’t wait for the government, do it yourself.
I also praise “We’re watching you” for the great job they are doing in giving others another voice they regularly would not have.
I can’t believe the media is portraying Fort Hood as a workplace killing. The fact that he was a Muslim does not matter. Lt Col. Ralph Peters was right “Political correctness will destroy the country.”

By the way Diane Sawyer, my last name is Smith you (bleep) that offends me.

Thoughts and prayers are with the families of Fort Hood.

Props go to my home away form home Virginia and New Jersey.
There is no such thing as a saved job. That is like trying to measure the amount of food that has not been eaten yet. Where does the number start and end? It doesn’t.

Real Health Care reform:
Medical savings accounts that don’t expire at the end of each year, let people hold over the money.
Let all companies compete in all states, tear down the boundaries
Loser pays in law suit tort reform
Let companies work with families one on one without employment being the middleman, like car insurance
That should be the GOP plan, get with it guys. “It’s budget neutral!!”

It is that simple.

Crawfish Pt 2

Speaker Newt Gingrich, what were you thinking????? On second thought don’t explain… I am done. I’ve done all I can do… It’s sad what has happened to you. How could the GOP spend $926,014.00 on a liberal? Wait, oh yeah, they did that in the last Presidential campaign and several races in 2006 and 2008 and that is why we lost. Conservatism wins; lib-lite loses even in liberal states . Ford Lost, Reagan won, Moderate Bush 41 lost to Clinton, Moderate Bob Dole lost to Clinton, how many times must history repeat itself?

Charlie “George Hamilton” Crist is an idiot. Viva Marco Rubio!! I gave him a substantial donation.

Keep banging away Crawfish!! God Bless You and May God Bless America!


G92

No problem. That PSA will run in The Claw for a couple of weeks.

Ender

Welcome back!
I think I understand your method of job counting. It would make perfect sense to the liberal mind.

Obama was just saying that those people in Noo Joisey and Virginny are just too stooopid to understand what's good for them. He'll make 'em pay for those mistakes.

Hitlery! and the rest of the Administration and Congressional leadership believe that they ARE the only people in the US that matter and are educated and nuanced enough to know what is good for the world.

How can anyone deny the Holocaust? That's like denying the excellence of the United States Marine Corps.

The only burning and smoke allowed in the world is the insense burning at the worship ceremonies for The Prophet Algoracle.

MJSJR

That's part of the problem with our people. They've gone so soft that they DO wait for the gummint to do everything for them.

LtCol Peters speaks the truth!

Did Sawyer say something about you? Kick us a link!

A lot of the GOP plan is in line with what you want...and what I've been screaming for.

Conservatism wins whenever it is strongly advocated.

Crawfish

Col. David Hunt was on Fox this morning saying that the military would not follow up on statements such as the Ft. Hood shooter made because the soldiers have free speech rights too. I can't imagine that they didn't at least take a peek at what he was saying. Especially seeing as some of his colleagues said they had complained about him.

I can't wait to see how fast the judge throws the Holocaust denier out of court.

I heard Gingrich say he didn't think supporting a candidate without an R after his name was good for the party. Sorry, I haven't trusted him for a long time. He could have spoken to Steele.

The lamestream media had hissy fits any time an energy co. exec visited Bush and they have no problem with Stearn or Soros going to the WH? Gee, no agenda or worship or covering there, huh?

The SC horse guy should go live with the Russian lesbians. Maybe the woman who's marrying the fairground ride can join them.

This health care takeover is an un-Constitutional mess. I called Chellie Pingree's office and pointed out some un-Constitutional items in the bill and the aide told me that Chellie fundamentally disagrees with me. I told her, "No, she fundamentally disagrees with the Constitution." I said some other things, using pretty nice language, but I'm sure she was not happy when she hung up.
If this goes through, we will see our other freedoms and liberties go in the name of health care issues.

Another good job Crawfish.





b-mom

Believe me. If I was making statements supporting an armed rebellion against the US and I was identified, the military would come down hard on me.

Gingrich and Steele need to LOOK at candidates before supporting them. The GOP must set some simple standards that all must follow if they wish to be a member of the party.

But Soros and Stern have no agenda and aren't running companies that are making OBSCENE profits.

The conservative think tanks and research organizations need to take apart that 2000 page P.O.S. and publicly identify every single item that is anti-Constitutional and every single tax increase. Then we need to blast the airwaves and internet with the results.

oh, and b-mom

I saw that story at Malkin's site. I visit regularly (***SIGH***)

Craw



A new short one at my place.

I figured

you probably saw that story on Michelle's site.
Given your tendency to *sigh* when you mention her. ;)

b-mom

Well, that and how I link her stuff a lot...

I still can't get over Obama

sying he didn't watch the returns. Not only is that a flat out lie (OK, he probably didn't have the news on, but he got regular updates sans doubt, which is really the issue) but it is an arrogant and hubristic showing that he does not care about the states. It could be interpreted to show that all he is concerned about is the growing federal government, where he wants all power anyway. If he does not care about the states, what does he care about?

Crawfish

This is the most interesting and informative historical article I've read in a long time. Hope you find it interesting.

http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/11/a_new_and_old_plan_f or_mideast.html

Crawfish

As a favor to me, I am asking you to use your military connections to research the following article:

http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2009/11/pregnant-soldi er-shot-dead-by-fort-hood-killer-screaming-allahu-akbar/

If it is true that the Muslim Major was one of the administration's own people, then this intel must be gotten out to Middle America.

I have already started my "recon" into this.

Crawfish

The Dems can crow all they want--but the senate is a different story. Now is the time for Lieberman, Snowe and the blue dogs to walk the walk -not just talk the talk!!

VA Dad

The One is only concerned with his own ego, his socialist agenda, and pleasing his masters (Soros, unions, Islam, and black nationalists).

arik

That's a great article from American Thinker. You'll see it again tomorrow.

Ghost

He may indeed have been a participant in some panel in his official capacity. I don't think that makes him a true insider.

Mike the Pirate

I seriously doubt that they can get a bill that will pass both houses.

Pan Fried Pork and Dirty Rice

When you sure packed the pan this time Mud Bug! Ok, first thing, of course they lie, it's the Marxist datum. You know "The ends justify lies" Well, that's what they are good at. There will be a whole generation of jokes from this era. "how can you tell when Obama is Lying? He's alive." What's the difference between P-Lousy and a habitual liar? There's a difference?"
Chatlie (almost RINO) Crist has been running a campaign here that he's the most conservative anti-bama Governor of all time. Sorry I didn't notice during his reign. Marco is my short list.
P-Lousey's Deathcare bill has more loopholes then Grandma's knitted blanket. It IS the "DEATH BILL" and the "Tax Bill" They mention Taxes over 900 times in the bill. I'm only about 40% through it, but it's very ugly. I was on vacation last week in the land of Rat (no not Washington)with the kids, so I'm playing catchup.

Thanks for the grub Mud Bug!

Jim

The difference between a habitual liar and P-Lousy is that the habitual liar is more honest.

Charlie thinks he's been a conservative? Up is down, negative is positive, left is right, and Charlie's a conservative.

Hey! I have a Granny-knitted afghan sitting on my dresser!

That bill is quite possibly the worst piece of legislation to ever see the floor of the House.

So how much did The Mouse take y'all for?

For the past 6 months

the FBI and it looks like, the military ignored Hasan's emails and attempts to convert people to islam and his complaints about the wars and complaints against him.
This has happened since Obama became POTUS.
The FBI is being run by Leon Panetta, Obama's guy.
This is proof that we have become less safe under the Barry administration.
That's my opinion.
The press is even covering for him. Some of them are claiming Hasan is the victim of bullying and what they're calling vicarious ptsd.
At least that's what it all looks like when you put it together.
I may be wrong. But this doesn't look good for the current administration.
Or us.

b-mom

The FBI is run by Affirmative Action Attorney General Eric Holder. Panetta runs CIA.

Thanx for reminding me...I put Vets Day in my Tuesday post, now I gotta add my Jarhead brothers.

Oops!

Thanks Crawfish.
I guess I need some more caffeine.

For Gods Sake

Don't foget the jar-heads.... You'll never hear the and of that (you being squidy and all)

Craw

Yeah, I even think he's beholden to Axelrod.

Obama is close to a puppet, I think...

Jim

Gunny would beat my arse via e-mail, and my father-in-law would yell at me over the phone.

VA Dad

He has so many masters that it's hard to keep track. The puppet strings are all crossed up.
