Slander them: Obama: Tea Party features ‘core group’ against him
President Barack Obama says he believes the Tea Party is built around a “core group” of people who question whether he is a U.S. citizen and believe he is a socialist.
You know, I’ve never seen the President come forward with a birth certificate to refute the whole citizenship thing. Seems like an easy fix to me. But, regardless of that question, he’s the President now, so it doesn’t matter one iota.
So, based on this, Democrats think that the Tea Party is comprised of people who are conspiracy folks and who hate the President (probably because he’s black. There, I said it.)
Republicans think that the Tea Party movement is comprised of voters who are sick and tired of the way that the Democrats are running the show, now that they have power, and that those voters will rush to the polls in November to thrust the GOP back to the level of greatness they think they deserve.
They’re both wrong.
The Tea Party is about returning this country to fiscal responsibility (the whole “Spend less than you make” mantra that Dave Ramsey talks about) and to turn our government away from the monstrosity it’s become, with its fingers in every part of your life, and return it to its original framework – one that valued the rights of the individual and the rights of the states over its own power.
True tea party members do not care if they are voting for a Republican, Democrat or a Liberatarian. They are voting based on principle, not party lines. I’m personally represented in Alabama by Democrats and Republicans. Guess what – they all voted against the HCR monstrosity, and I’m proud that they listened to their constituents. God bless’em for it.

How sad is it that, 2 days after the Healthcare Reform monstrosity passes through Congress,we celebrate the 235th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s case _or_give_me_Death!”>most famous speech?
How apropos are his words today:
Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Of course, in her brilliant snarky manner, Tam gives the rarely discussed reaction of those who surrounded him. Right?
He was, of course, sat down and told that grownups were hammering out improved compromise legislation with the King and that they were certain to pick up more friendly seats in Parliament in the next election cycle.
It’s time to grab the pitchforks and torches, boys and girls.

Let me start this post by saying that I own a Ruger LCP .380. I like my little gun. I own 4 Rugers in all. They’re all wonderful guns.
But lately, every time I read about an article about all the different .380s on the market, it seems that everyone refers to the Ruger LCP as “revolutionary” or, as this show refers to it, a “Game Changer?”
I’m sorry, but I just can’t buy into that hyperbole. I had been researching pocket .380s since I first heard about the Colt Mustang. I also purchased an Accu-Tek .380 at a gun show. (True story – I bought and sold it on the same day to a friend. I broke even, financially, but that gun turned out to be a real P-O-S. So I really came out ahead). But in my mind, Kel-Tec really started the pocket .380 trend when they introduced their P3AT model, at least 2 years before Ruger produced the LCP. I think that if anyone should get credit for “changing the game”, it’s Kel-Tec.
As I stated earlier, I own an LCP. I had been looking at both guns, and was leaning towards the P3AT because of it’s lower price and availability. However, I wound up getting a fantastic deal on the LCP, so I bought it instead. But c’mon… Let’s give credit where credit is due. Even if that credit belongs to a smaller firearm company, and not the company whose advertising budget probably keeps most gun rags in business.

There’s a reason that the Weather guys always say to be careful when driving during a flash flood warning:

You know, I’ve always been told that “Hell would freeze over before the New Orleans Saints won a Super Bowl.”
The Saints won the Super Bowl on February 7, 2010.
On that same day, Washington DC was buried under several feet of snow; enough that the Federal Government was shut down.
Coincidence?
Pure genius.

Yahoo! gives us a summary of the 2010 Winter Olympics. It states:
The Vancouver Games opened with grief, and they end under a shadow as everlasting as those cast by the hooded assassins of Munich and the midnight thunder of Atlanta.
The death of the luge athlete was tragic, and highly avoidable. However, to compare it to the murder of 11 Israeli athletes by Palestinian terrorists is asinine. Methinks the author needs to do a little more research.

So I watched the movie 2012 last night. It was entertaining. If you’re looking for a great storyline, this isn’t the movie for you. But if you want some good special effects and a fast moving plot, check it out. I really like Woody Harrelson in his minor role. I didn’t even realize he was in the movie.
My favorite line of the movie belonged to John Cusack, trying to convince his ex-wife that they needed to evacuate, even while the governor of California (complete with faux Austrian accent) was on TV reassuring the people that everything was in control: “When they tell you not to panic… that’s when you run!!”
