Come on everybody, sing-along!:

Hitlery-and-Osama-sitting-in-a-tree, P-I-$-$-I-N-G!

Sorry, just kidding, that’s not true about Hitlery at all because everybody knows that Hitlery wouldn’t pi$$ on a Conservative if they were on FIRE. Oh wait! California is on fire now, but those are all liberal anti-war democrap supporters whose houses are on fire. I guess Californians can get ready for one of Hitlery’s politically-biased Golden Showers. Maybe when Hitlery gets into the White House in 2009 she’ll discontinue waterboarding on real terror suspects. Instead, she’ll use all of her golden-tinted “moonbat juice” for waterboarding Conservatives who speak out against her Socialist “Nanny-State” Agenda. I guess that means the end of talk radio if “Queen Femminazi” is elected.

Oh, I can hear the slimy pinko roaches whining now: “Republicans name-call too much, Conservatives play too rough, Mad As Zell hits the liberals too hard, your spraying too much Raid (political truth) in Lucko’s blog, wah! wah! wah! Change my diaper, I want my mommy, Conservatives don’t play fair” That’s right, THE TRUTH KILLS LIBERALISM ON CONTACT. Just consider the truth as “Raid” for pinko cochroaches.

Actually, the fire seems to be in the heads of liberals like Jay Bookman (who fulfilled his left-wing bomb-throwing quota today with his weekly anti-Bush molitoff cocktail) and Mike LuckoVICK (who would do to Conservatives what Michael VICK does to dogs if he could get away with it. Instead, Mike settles for lambasting everything not far-left-extremist in his politically-biased psychobabble scribble on paper that he likes past off to brainwashed “Urinal” readers as “cartoons”).

democrats- They believe that the reason scholastic test scores are so low in Washington, D.C, is because of all the minorities that live there, they draw racist editorial cartoons of minorities they disagree with, they fought against Republicans in a failed attempt to keep slavery in the South, they publish disparaging photos in their “news” papers of the most accomplished, honorable black woman that has ever achieved high office not through extortion or whining, but through education and hard work:

Democrats question Rice on Iraq woes-Urinal

You have to buy the litter box liner to see their shi-tty little picture, if you do see it, isn’t your first thought that the scumbags that are employed by the AJC can go to hell?

And ask yourself why do minorities keep voting for these race haters, modern day Klanners?

Rice is a Republican and a Conservative and we should all have immense pride that the face of American foreign policy is represented by this distinguished woman, but no, we hate her cause she’s not a democrat.

~~~~~~

My Lord, the Atlanta Urinal Constitution must think that their readership is the stupidest people in the world:

{{{{$1 trillion plan would end alternative tax-Urinal}}}}

Is there anyone out there that doesn’t see the outlandishness of this statement?

Maybe it’s the reporter that is stupid, no?

~~~~~~

Again, you have to buy the paper, these libs don’t know how to post photos to their sorry website, but look at the front page and the glamour picture of the enemy troops ready to try and kill Americans:

{{{{The Guards are an elite branch of Iran’s military, created in 1979 in the wake of the country’s Islamic revolution to provide a counterweight to the then U.S.-trained military.}}}}

Ever wonder how the AJC gets a picture of the enemy troops so quick?

And only has photos of U.S. troops getting shot at?

Which side are they embedded in?

Geez.

Whining will only get you so far:

For 15 out of the past 17 years, Louisiana has been either America’s Least Livable State or runner-up in the annual Morgan Quitno research firm’s comprehensive rankings, which combine educational, economic, health, environmental and crime statistics.

In regards to Jay Bookman’s editorial (Poppin’ Jay Boogman who, as we all know, is a highly-trained certified expert on foreign policy): Jay Boogman and everyone else knows that the best possible U.S. foreign policy approach to dealing with despotic and tyrannical regimes anti-American would be to simultaneously take Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong EEL, Hugo Chavez and that Syrian slime, whatever the hell his name is, and turn their thick, hard-headed skulls into long-distance drive-thru lanes for hot .50-caliber slugs. At this point we could literally sneak in to Fidel Castro’s hospital room and just turn-off his life-support respirator, so dealing with him wouldn’t be much of a problem. Not to forget our friend, Vladimir Putin who loves to play with radiation poisoning, especially around political dissidents. Maybe Vlad’s meals could be served with a little “vitamin supplement” to add a little “glow” to his diet to help him understand the true meaning of democratic governing.

Pakistan has 20 thousand schools teaching millions of children “I am Death to America and so can you” (Madrass Schools). Bush badgered Pakistan to crack down on these schools and Pakistan complied. Hundreds were keeled. The results backfires. Enrollments surged.

Foreign Policy should be: “Hawk Softly and Carry a Big Schtick”. Bush thinks foreign policy should be “Let them eat yellowcake”. (see what I did there, mad? Learn. Learn well, my fine friend) It will be nothing less than a miracle if Pakistan doesn’t go all Iran on us now.

{{{{“All Americans must vote Democrat,” insisted Jihad Jaara, an exiled Al Aqsa agent who commanded 2002’s siege of Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity.}}}}

{{{{“We see Hillary and other candidates are competing on who will withdraw from Iraq,” said Abu Jihad of Al Aqsa’s Nablus unit. “This is a moment of glory for the revolutionary movements in the Arab world…”}}}}

{{{{Al Aqsa’s Nasser Abu Aziz, considered it “very good” that there are “voices like Hillary and others who are now attacking the Iraq invasion.”}}}}

{{{{Islamic Jihad’s Abu Ayman felt “emboldened” by Clinton’s demands that America retreat from Iraq. He said: “It is clear that it is the resistance operations of the mujahideen that have brought about these calls for withdrawal.”}}}}

Getalife, resident of NOLA was recently declared “a popsicle” so maybe he can explain…

(((Jordan, the city’s first black district attorney, violated employment discrimination laws when after taking office he ordered the wholesale firing of white employees and replaced them with black workers, a jury found more than two years ago.)))

(((Jordan wanted Duval to freeze the $3.7 million award until the city has a chance to approve a new budget that includes enough money to pay off the legal debt, but that didn’t occur.)))

What is it about NOLA officials? freezing money seems to be a favorite pastime.

and then you have Nagin and Blanco whose first response to the devastation of Katrina was to declare a day of prayer? A Democratic Governor and a Democratic Mayor have to give permission to pray?

Let’s take a closer look at the “PROVEN” psychosis of denial…

(((HOW could she have not known? How could such an intelligent woman have believed her husband’s denial of infidelity, knowing his past history? Could she really have believed that being in the White House had persuaded Bill to mend his philandering ways? Or could she simply not conceive that he would be so stupid, so breathtakingly reckless as to jeopardise his presidency - and legacy - over a squalid entanglement with an infatuated intern? Or was it easier to live with denial than confront the truth?)))

Useful tools of the left hear ^^^ that and it gains their respect?

Someone who knows Hillary well and is NOT a useful tool…

(((Dick Morris, who acted as an adviser and pollster to the Clintons for nearly 20 years, put it bluntly: “Did Hillary believe her husband’s denials? Come on. Get real. For Hillary to pretend injured innocence at this point has only one motive: she needs to somehow justify her strident public defence of her husband. She can’t admit the truth: that she defended him because she didn’t want him forced from office - ending both their political careers -because he’d been unfaithful to her.)))

The left suffers from psychosis — unable to accept the truth but eager to create and embrace a lie.

Butch,

One of the problems with your theory is that the number of countries keep growing. What does that tell you?

It tells me that our plan isn’t working.

If the terrorists were to show up at my door, then yes, I’d say, let’s fight them, and no I wouldn’t run to Canada - it’s too cold up there.

History will show that Bush is the worst president to ever occupy the position, but you keep up that cheerleading for him. He needs it.

Think for a minute of the number of soldiers we’ve had killed since this war began. Think how many are permanently injured. We are facing another generation of soldiers who will require help for the rest of their lives and rightly deserve it. How are we going to pay for that?

We are facing another Cold War, or worse.

We have bankrupted our economy to pay for this war and are now indebted to China and India.

We don’t have the manpower anymore to defend our own borders (you know, to keep the terrorists out) or to be there in the case of a natural disaster like Katrina or these wildfires.

Those are some of the realities we are facing these days.

Great Internet speeds are good for blogging about wanting others to do the fighting conservatives don’t want to do!

Conservatives have not been lining up at the recruitment centers but you give us hope. Please use your influence here because EVERY SINGLE Bush war loving conservative here has an excuse for not being in Iraq. Help them see the light.

How many leftists, or anybody for that matter, agree with that sentiment? Keep in mind that this statement goes along with a belief that if an Islamofascist terrorist had knowledge of a nuclear weapon getting ready to be detonated in the middle of an American city this same poster would say you could only ask and if the terrorist didn’t want to talk you would just hand him back his Koran and walk away.

Hey Adder Dude,

Since you’re such a stickler for rules, what do you think about what happened last night at Emory University?

“I’ve spoken at Emory University several times and I’ve never seen it this bad,” said Horowitz responding to the crowd as they shouted and jeered. “This is exactly what the fascists did in Germany in the 1930s.” The loud chants, sign-waving, and disruptive gestures continued to escalate from audience members until the atmosphere was so chaotic that even the police present were unable to subdue the crowd. Horowitz was led off stage and left the campus under tight security, and the event came to an abrupt end. After Senior Vice Provost for Community and Diversity Ozzie Harris announced that audience members should sit down and let the speech continue or risk being forcibly removed, protesters shouted, “Everybody stand up, they can’t take us all!” and “Stand up in solidarity!” At the end, when Horowitz’ speech could no longer continue, chants of “This is what democracy looks like” shot up throughout the audience.

This was one of my favorites:

{{{Are we going to talk about who killed JFK?”}}}

Wouldn’t it be more on topic to ask why Sirhan Sirhan killed RFK?

And, circumstantial evidence is admissable in court. We’ll see how the whole “Bush has done nothing illegal” bit works out. I hope the scum rots in jail with the likes of Eric Rudolph. One can always have hope.

Ah, a new item to attack. Randel’s tax plan. Just like any other bill the dems come up with, the wingnuts make up lies and prevent it from being voted on. Then the wingnuts take essentially the same plan, put their name on it, and try to claim they are saving society.}}}}

Ask ITN for help if you need it. Neither of you are able to back up any of your statements individually, but maybe a little teamwork will do the trick.

It would be wise for you Dems to remember that using a funeral service as an opportunity for political demagoguery is a really bad idea, but I always appreciate being reminded of how shameless and crass Libs are.

Does Mad as Zell even know southern California? That area hit hard by the fires in San Diego County is actually very conservative. In fact, Fallbrook, very close by and also hit by fires, was the headquarters for the Neo-Nazi fellow who ended up in Washington State, Tom Messinger and his son.

Why is that every time you expose leftist scum for being leftist scum they tell you to calm down?

Trust me Bosch, nothing is more calming than exposing leftist scum and their true feelings toward the best and bravest among us. Maybe you don’t really feel that way, but it’s remarkable how easy it is for you type a sentiment like that and how often you do it if those aren’t your true feelings.

By Bosch October 26, 2007 10:03 AM | We have bankrupted our economy to pay for this war and are now indebted to China and India.

Bosch, that’s the idea! Bankrupt the country! Destroy it from within! When we are BANKRUPT, there’s no $ for anything but the WAR! Eventually we have a ‘Rich and Poor’ class of people, just as we had prior to the New Deal! Idiots play on the abuses. Of course there are abuses, but the objective of caring people should be to ‘fix’ the abuses as much as posible, and that does not include passing more laws to punish! The role of government should be to help people help themselves! PLEASE! No tirades about what should be done with the murderers and rapists etc! We’re on the same sheet of music with this!

That’s funny RW. Hillary’s projects…Hillary’s projection.

Was it ITN applying definitions of “superiority complex” to conservatives yesterday?

When you look up “inferiority complex” you get this:

Sensitivity To Criticism: Although people who feel inferior “know” they have shortcomings, they do not like other people to point this out. They tend to perceive any form of criticism, regardless of how sensitively or constructively it is presented, as a (((personal attack.)))

:-OMG, that sounds like every liberal on this board. Put that alongside Hillary’s “vast right-wing conspiracy” claim and it’s no wonder the left is on board with Hillary.

Hypercritical Attitude: These people cannot feel intelligent, attractive, competent, etc., unless they are the most intelligent, attractive and competent person around.

:-OMG, that’s PoliFore…AmVet/Huge…rushncap.

Inappropriate Response To Flattery: This can work two ways. Some people are desperate to hear anything good about themselves and will be constantly fishing for compliments.

:-OMG, that’s any number of liberal sockpuppets who come in and compliment themselves under a different ID.

Lovely Lucy:

When ITN spends time posting psychoanalysis of Bush with no foundation to support the diagnosis, my tendency is to give him a proven case study for reference.

Don’t get all defensive. Look up and see if you fit any of the criteria for “inferiority complex”. I believe you do.

Corky, since you seem new to this blog, or you haven’t been here for a little while, please let us explain something to you. When you post things as stupid as your comments about R’s sitting out of the wars, one of us, and this time it’s me, is going to call you on in and ask you to provide facts that support your idiotic statements. If, like most of the left wing bloggers here, you are unable to provide any FACTS to support your idiotic claims, we will toss you to the garbage heap with Goldie, mm, and Mrs. G who are also never able to support their nut case comments with facts.

So, here goes…
In the recent elections, have the military votes been more heavily for R’s or for D’s? Look it up. Don’t bring opinions, bring data.

Tom Messinger should have been Tom Metzger.

The W.A.R. Board Neo-Nazi boards began springing up in the United States as early as 1984, when a loose coalition of BBSs went online in California, North Carolina, and Illinois. One of the earliest, the W.A.R. Board (an acronym for White Aryan Resistance), began in the semi-rural town of Fallbrook, California, located halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego.

Tom Metzger, a blue-collar entrepreneur who owns and operates television repair shop in Fallbrook, started the W.A.R. Board from his home in 1984 using a Commodore 64 and a 300 bps modem. Its single phone line was constantly busy, indicating the high demand for online white- supremacist material and the number of neo-Nazis with the technology to access such information.

RW, there are enough people who believe that life does NOT begin at conception. You have no right to define that for them. If it is your personal opinion, fine. But you cannot enact laws which enforce it upon others, any more than I can enact laws enforcing my opinion of when life begins upon you. End of story. }}}

One lie is the one I caught you spewing last night about adults being able to use SCHIP.

I’m not going to waste my time with you.

Your post about the tax bill is from the Wall Street Journal, which is owned by Murdoch, who also owns Faux News Corp. The tax bill eliminates the ATM and also pays for its elimination.

You wingnuts are laughable concerning the presenting of facts.

Bush has a definite problem with being “relevant” or even “factual”, starting with his declaration of “Mission accomplished!” in 2003, all the way forward to our current mess of an occupation in Iraq… going on 5 years in occupying Iraq now and still no signs of the Iraqi gov’t doing any hard work necessary to govern.

And the photo-ops for Dubya’s pursuit in finding any relevance is just downright sad. Good riddance to the Repug Party in ‘08!

If I were just entering the political arena, and I had no idea whether I were a democrat or a republican, I would look at recent history and I would look at cold, hard facts. I would not get these “facts” from Bill O’Riley. I would see that years after the storm, New Orleans is still a wreck. I would look at the current forclosure situation and who Bush appointed as his Secretary of the treasury. I would look at the rising costs in Iraq moving into the Trillion catagory. I would look at the pathetic state of health care in this country. After seeing what has gone on in this country since Bush was elected, I don’t think I could physically ever be a Republican. I’m not trying to hate on the party here, I’m really really not. There are lots of republicans-ok not lots-but some republicans that I respect. But how can any intelligent person look at this nation and the crap hole we’ve dug for ourselves and still stand with the party of the president? I’ll never know.
