Check out what happens to a pinko when they lose control of their hysterical feminine emotions:

{{{{About two minutes into the video, I could take no more. I was going to break decorum. I mumbled, “It’s a lie. It’s the worst kind of lie.” Realizing that not even the two people sitting directly in front of me had heard my utterance, I raised the volume and repeated it. I stood up from my cushioned chair and in a stronger voice said, “This ad is a lie!”- By Don McAdam, lives in Atlanta}}}}

Stand up on your seat cushion and start yelling in a Cobb movie theatre, see what happens.

{{{{I didn’t dare glance at my family. I needed to remain in denial as to how my wife and kids were reacting to my outburst. My heart racing, and in my angriest voice, I shouted, “It’s a lie, just like this war!”}}}}

Uh oh, look’s like the estrogen rush is starting to subside, will she burst into tears?

{{{{The pre-show ad that was playing was a music video titled “Citizen Soldier,” a slickly produced and, I suspect, highly effective recruitment ad for the National Guard… The scenes of the band playing were magnificently filmed with a shakiness that evokes a sense of being in the midst of battle explosions. I hated it in part because it was so well-made….Its lie is obscured under the veneer of misguided patriotism and false realism.}}}}

So she doesn’t like the National Guard Recruitment video because it could lead to the horror of “patriotism” and brainwash with national pride those watching it.

But then, suddenly, she recites her brainwashing from the Code Pinko indoctrination camp:

{{{{The war would be ended and the perpetrators prosecuted for the lies that created it and the utter incompetence with which it was waged. Still many, perhaps even most, Americans despair over this endless occupation and the needless suffering of those who serve.}}}}

How dare they free those 50 million people from tyranny!

{{{{Even with the repeated warnings of military experts that our military is at the breaking point, the policies of repeated and extended deployments remain. They remain for the simple reason that our military does not have enough people to properly carry out its missions.}}}}

Great, so now she’s worried we won’t have enough soldiers in the army to wreak future mayhem, because of

{{{{The —>unusually<— low temperatures led New Orleans emergency officials to enact a “freeze plan” on New Year’s Eve, allowing homeless shelters to temporarily exceed their fire safety capacity.}}}}

{{{{Following the snowiest December on —>record,<— many areas of New Hampshire got about a foot of snow on New Year’s Day, with a couple of inches added during the night and a couple more likely Wednesday. Storm totals could reach 18 inches in parts of Maine and New Hampshire and up to a foot in Vermont.}}}}

{{{{The latest snowfall in New England followed a storm on Monday that made for the area’s —>snowiest December in decades.<— December’s snowfall at Concord, N.H., totaled 44.5 inches, —>toppling a record of 43 inches that had stood since 1876.<— Burlington, Vt., got 45.7 inches, —>far above its 17.2-inch December average,<— and Portland, Maine, amassed 37.7 inches for its —>third-snowiest December on record.<—}}}}

Ahhh, global warming.

Brrrrrrrrrr, damn, it’s cold outside.

{{{{These conservatives, many of whom were disappointed with President Bush in some areas, are not in the mood for any moderates or converts this time around. Surf the internet and check out the conservative forums, especially the granddaddy of them all, FreeRepublic.com, to see who garners the most support among them.}}}}

{{{{If voters have any say in elections anymore, the press may yet have to deal with men like Thompson, should their early attempts at marginalizing him fail.}}}}

{{{{The real reason many in the media — left and right — continue to ignore Thompson and proclaim that his candidacy is in its “death throes” is that he won’t play their game.}}}}.

{{{{As the man said, “Let the political world swirl around me and let everyone run their attack ads and spend their money and spin their wheels and all that. But I’m going to be the same. It’s worked for me pretty well in my career, being Fred, and I’m going to continue to be Fred.”}}}}

Decision time Conservatives, is the Republican Party going to be led by a lib?

{{{{BAGHDAD — Coalition forces detained a suspected criminal during operations to disrupt terrorist networks early Wednesday in the Adhamiyah area. Coalition forces targeted an individual who reportedly trained criminals to perform attacks on Coalition and Iraqi forces.}}}}

{{{{FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq – Since Dec. 24, the Concerned Local Citizens group in the Arab Jabour area has played a significant role in diminishing al-Qaeda in Iraq’s ability to attack Coalition Soldiers, Iraqi Security Forces and local residents. The CLC has assisted Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division by turning in weapons caches and improvised explosive devices.}}}}

{{{{BESMAYA — A graduation ceremony filled with music, marching and speeches marked a tremendous step for all of Iraq, when the Iraqi Army’s 2nd Brigade, 11th Division graduated here, Jan. 2. The brigade is fully equipped and trained to battle the enemies of Iraq because of Unit Set Fielding, a process that takes an entire Army brigade and gives the Soldiers the equipment and training they will need to fight.}}}}

A year ago, British meteorologists made headlines predicting that the buildup of greenhouse gases would help make 2007 the hottest year on record. At year’s end, even though the British scientists reported the global temperature average was not a new record — it was actually lower than any year since 2001 — the BBC confidently proclaimed, “2007 Data Confirms Warming Trend.”

Here’s another little look into our future after Hillary Clinton (or any Democrat for that matter) places our healthcare into the hands of government.

{{{{{Arlene Meeks is from Canada. In many parts of Canada it would be illegal for you to take your own money and pay for your own health care from a private provider. The Canadian government, you see, wants to maintain its monopoly on health care. It’s all about power. Anyway …. Arlene was visiting her family in California when she needed emergency surgery because her appendix burst. Lucky for Arlene, she was in the United States when this happened and she was able to seek immediate care. But two weeks later, Arlene still hasn’t been transferred back to Canada. She can’t go home. And why not? Because the South Fraser Health Region in British Colombia where she lives has a shortage of ventilated intensive care unit beds. They are saying it is because of the holidays, and it is no surprise that those beds fill up. So … no room for Arlene in the hospital. She has to stay in the U.S. The beds are full because the Liberal government cut acute care beds in British Colombia by 1,300. A report was issued last fall indicating that they are at least 650 beds short … but just like government, nothing has yet to be done.}}}}}

But all I’m really here to do is to amuse myself for short periods of time by making fun of idiots like you. I guess I could buy Guitar Hero for the same effect. However, with Guitar Hero you want to play for hours. Making fun of the likes of you and @@ gets boring fairly quickly, so then I move on to more productive things. Some people play Solitaire.

{{{{{Rushncap, You have (falsely) accused Moreland of not supplying evidence for his conclusions. Yet your post does precisely the same thing. Your complaint is an evidence-free zone. Even if you were correctly characterizing Moreland’s method — and you are not — you could not succeed by making the same mistake in response. Moreland’s entire article is an argument (one of several in a multi-part series) on the way to a point — the point being that the currently predominant secular world view misunderstands and mis-characterizes Christian thought as faith based rather than as knowledge based. It also misunderstands its own metaphysically unjustifiable claims to knowledge. Your snide rant makes no progress at all in refuting Moreland, if in fact he is mistaken. If you think he is, then prove it. But so far you’re too clever by half, and disrespectful to boot.}}}}}

4) Not giving due process to immigrants and denying life-saving health care in immigration detention facilities.

5) Allowing the CIA to destroy interrogation tapes.

This is both funny and sad. some here still clings onto this loser’s every word:

RÉSUMÉ

GEORGE W. BUSH 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20520

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

Law Enforcement: I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pleaded guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver’s license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been ‘lost’ and is not available.

Military: I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.

College: I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE: I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland,Texas in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn’t find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.

I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.

With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS:

I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America.

I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.

I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.

With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida , and my father’s appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President of the United States, after losing by over 500,000 votes.

By Midori

January 3, 2008 3:40 PM | Link to this

continued:

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:

I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.

I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.

I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.

I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.

I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market. In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues.

I’m proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My ‘poorest millionaire,’ Condoleezza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President.

I am the all-time U.S. and world record -holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.

My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. history, Enron.

My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.

I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.

I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.

I changed the U.S. policy to allow convict ed criminals to be awarded government contracts.

I appointed more convicted criminals to my administration than any President in U.S. history.

I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.

I refused to allow inspector’s access to U.S. ‘prisoners of war’ detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.

I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 US election).

I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.

I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.

I garnered the most sympathy ever for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.

I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. Citizens and the world community.

I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families in wartime.

In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends.

I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.

I am supporting development of a nuclear ‘Tactical Bunker Buster,’ a WMD.

I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice.

Last time I looked, Bushie won the Presidency of the United States of America, without the help of the drive by media, twice.

There’s something Fat Hillary can’t say.

Jealousy is a very, very bad behavioral disorder but it is curable, you libs should check in on it.

rushncrap: Aren’t you the same wormy little ankle biter that burst upon this blog today by proclaiming RW a “coward” for posting at 7 p.m?

And to this taunt, you follow up with a post to me, saying don’t bother to reply cause I ain’t gonna read it, na-na-na-na?

And what exactly does this mean-

{{{{considering that your side hasn’t yet shut up about Clinton I’d say criticizing a sitting President is not, how do I put it, old news}}}}

You ever wonder how you never hear from HW Bush, how he left the presidency and went gracefully into retirement?

He didn’t send his “wife” out to run for president or he didn’t criticize the current president, he just acted with honor and dignity?

On the other hand, we have red face blowhard Clintoon, running around the world telling what a wonderful job he did against Has bin Laden, how he was for the Iraq war before he was against it and all the other Aesop’s Fables that he can spin up for you klowns?

We’re just supposed to shut up, eh?

Andy,

it would be a truly sad state of affairs when I, or anyone on my side of the political fence, would be jealous of that moronic, inbread, retard of thief of a “president”.

Stealing the election was the ONE and ONLY way that incompetent boob could ever squat in the White House.

you know it and I know it.

To make matters worse, once he stole it, he had absolutely no idea what to do with it.

you know it and I know it…..

The only “jobs” the idiot ever held were given to him by his father or his friends. And he even sucked at them.

And I’m supposed to be jealous of something like THAT???

Only in your pathetic world. Try something else, jacka@@.

Bosch,

Not that it’s any of your business, but that site where I posted not rushncap’s words but the words of a respondent is a site of mostly Christian girls where rushncap goes to beat them up for their beliefs in the most rude manner imaginable. The reason he has to claim it’s stalking and spying to read what he writes in a public forum is that he’s most likely embarrassed by them.

I didn’t link the site or paste some of the more despicable and filthy things he writes over there and if he had a brain in his lil pumpkin head he was have denied it was him.

rushncap,

You libs are just plain pathetic. You have to be the biggest lying bunch of whiners I’ve ever encountered. You’re giving each other props for posting a laundry list of lies and act like there is truth involved in the discussion. I didn’t read the whole list and don’t plan to because when you read things such as:

“I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market. In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues.”

You realize you’re dealing with people who don’t have the intellectual honesty to bother. To blame the housing situation and the stock market drop as a result of 9/11 on Bush is just dishonest. Only liars or simple minded fools would make claims like that. Take your pick.

I got a nice topic that we can kill the time discussing until the voting results come in, how about the demise of the democrat party house organs, like the AJC for instance, and all the people canceling their subscriptions because they are tired of being lied to?

Or possibly we could discuss how the libs rode the coattails of all those moderates to success in 2006, but since then have been treated like little red headed moonbats?
