They may be expendable, but they are expanding government.

I disagree with that sentiment. Not only is it not astonishing to anyone who paid any attention at all during the campaign, it was predicted and is expected.

Obama gave every indication of being 100% anti-American blend of every possible filthosophy to come dribbling out of europe over the preceding century. There is nothing about that man or his actions so far that is any surprise at all.

One could excuse a wacko flake now and then as slipping under the radar, but this many is not a coincidence, it is a definite strategy, with malice aforethought.

Everything legally and procedurally possible must be done to slow, if not halt this President's destruction of our country.

Shop for ptichforks, etc while there is still time.  And, work hard NOW to get rational patriotic Americans on the ballot in the upcoming cycle, and to get them elected despite the near certain chicanery of ACORN and their hordes of imaginary voters.

You forgot their 5 to 4 majority on the Supreme Court. That's pretty much a sweep.

Has anyone looked at the price of ammunition now a days...when you can get it? Punching holes in paper is getting to be an expensive hobby.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/thump_ththump.html#comment-93082 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/thump_ththump.html#comment-93082 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 15:54:36 -0600
Yeah, the print media and the broadcast journals have taken it on the chin because of the due diligence of bloggers who did the job they were too lazy, irresponsible, and biased to do.

Calling the internet a sewer of information is like saying the NYT is accurate.  Where are those rigours vetting standards in their own editorial policies?

Right?

So you would think that such dominance would lead to a high level of self-confidence and moral courage; stand to your guns, and all that. Yet Jones resigns because of some bad publicity. What's next, crying to his momma cuz the other kids were mean to him?

I'm not saying all liberals (or even lefties) are like this, but there does seem to be an ivory-tower subset who have -perhaps literally- never been challenged on their positions. When they do encounter such challenges, their reaction reflects an unconscious assumption not only that they're right, but their opponents must be liars, cads, or both. Not because they're liberal, but because they've never had to mount a serious intellectual defense.

If nothing else, William FBuckley in the 1950s, and the 1964 debacle forced conservatives into some critical self-analysis.

   Be nice if we could convince our Comgress Critters to help depose them. All of them.

If you are evaluated by the friends you keep and the people you surround yourself with; we are in a lot of trouble. Van Jones is just one in a string of people the President associates with not least of which are the two guys that started up The Weather Underground and murdered citizens of this country for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It is shocking to see the country come to this. I felt we could survive another Jimmy Carter type Lib for 4 years and then fix what was needed. But...this is becoming serious. Those jerks in Congress are feeding money and power to Acorn to perpetuate this travesty.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/thump_ththump.html#comment-93074 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/thump_ththump.html#comment-93074 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 10:55:06 -0600
