This picture of Mitt Romney pumping his own gas in La Jolla was a big hit on the internet Tuesday.
For some reason NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams decided to do a sneering story about it Tuesday evening.
During the campaign, they harped on how Mitt was allegedly this snooty, entitled, rich guy who was totally out-of-touch with ordinary working Americans. Now they’re mocking him because his hair is out of place and he’s doing something ordinary working Americans do every day?
Sheesh.
On Twitter, the whack jobs who voted for Obama crowed about how “deranged” and “haggard” Mitt looked in the photo. One called “Romney having to pump his own gas … the most satisfying picture you will see all day.”
Have these jerks even NOTICED that election day is over and that Mitt is again just a private citizen like themselves?
Or are they simply so pathetically addicted to their own hate-fueled adrenaline that they can’t just be happy and leave the loser alone?
On the plus side, many of those who saw Mitt at Disneyland tweeted nice stuff about him.
History tells us that after there was no more of the known world left to conquer,Alexander the Great wept.It is not beyond reason to think Obastard likewise felt something of a tinge (someone bereft of compassion has no capacity for sorrow or tears) when he came to the reality that he could no longer do the only thing in life he was ever any good at…campaigning. He will spend the next four years preening for an adoring mob and exacting revenge on the people of this country who are everything he is not: hard-working,honest,independent, spirit-filled families that endure what comes and attach no blame for their circumstance.They raise their children in the ideal that nothing of worth ever comes easy or without effort.
In all likelihood we will,indeed,careen over the “fiscal cliff” because that’s precisely what he wants.He doubled down on his demand for tax increases and now has $1.6 trillion as a target.He knows the republicans would be committing political suicide by surrendering to this magnitude of fiscal thievery and,of course,the resultant maelstrom will be blamed entirely on the GOP by his loyal bootlickers in the media. There will be multitudes of illegal,immoral, unconstitutional acts perpetrated by the left and the bastard’s overt duplicity will ,of course,be ignored or dismissed out of hand.
The regime knew of Gen. Petraeus’ trysts for some time and held it over his head like the sword of Damocles.He foolishly thought if he gave in to their extortion they would cover for him.He served his country with honor,but he doesn’t know shit about liberals.He is testifying today behind closed doors and will ‘revise’ his remarks about the Benghazi murders being a protest.I know there are several gold-digging bimbos involved,but I don’t care enough to get into the details.All I know is that the administration allowed the affair to go on and jeopardize national security.
The Palestinian killers were elated that Brother Hussein will be around for the next few years so they can go forward with their plans to attack Israel with impunity.America will stand by and watch.Israel knows it too,and unlike what we’re stuck with,they have a leader who really does love his country and is willing to kill those who would destroy her.Would that we had a leader with an iota of the stuff Mr. Netanyahu is made of.Unfortunately we’re stuck with what we got.
I had every intention of making this my last post.I was as heartbroken as any of you after the catastrophe of this week.I’d planned to divorce myself from politics and turn my computer into a solitaire game-playing machine.I was heartened by some of the comments that have been posted here the last two days and realized you don’t lose until you give up.You people have helped me through some extremely difficult times in my life and giving up would turn me into what I despise the most.It may be awhile until the sense of loss diminishes and the mourning period ends.Until then I’ve come up with an extensive list of things I resent.Consider this an open thread if you want to add anything you resent.
I RESENT
Being forced to see his vile countenance everywhere,smiling that chesire cat smile and lying openly,knowing half the populace will either believe him or don’t care and those who do care can’t do anything about it.He knows the press will never call him on it.
Him bellowing about bringing the parties together to work for the American people.I am fluent in Obamaspeak so loosely translated it means:I won again,you can’t do dick to stop me and you white motherfuckers can kiss my entire black ass.
His porcine broodsow issuing edicts on what wholly inedible foodstuffs our schools must feed our children while she stuffs anything not moving in her cavernous maw.
Being regaled with her taxpayer-funded junkets around the world and the media swooning over how beautiful a camel can look in designer clothes.
Mia Love lost her bid for the House.
Allen West was redistricted out of his seat with the help of some voting chicanery.
That odiferous turd Alan Grayson is back.
Mourdock lost his Senate bid not so much because he said something sophomoric,but Dickless Lugar wanted payback for being primaried out.
Akin lost to a corrupt bitch in Missouri not so much because he stepped on his penis,but the GOP and Rove cut and ran leaving him to fend for himself against a filthy pig with abundant rescources.
Harry the Toad is trying to eliminate the filibuster so he can play the Keeper of the Realm.
The state of Israel is on its own since Barry would ask for a UN resolution of condemnation if Iran launched a nuclear attack.He has promised aid to Israel and we all know what his word is worth.He got 68% of the Jewish vote.
Hundreds of thousands of overseas military ballots arrived a day too late to be counted.They would have swung enough swing states to make Romney the president.
Three million white voters stayed home.The vote total McCain got in 2008 would have beaten Obama,who got two million less votes than he got in his first election.Maybe some were just tired of the mushy moderates we’ve had to swallow since 1988.Ron Paul voters are also suspect.
Our gallant military will be sliced to pieces by a CIC who openly despises them.
Veterans who have earned their benefits will be shown the back of Barry’s hand.
That gutless milksop John Boehner has already surrendered,telling Obastard he’s open to raising taxes in exchange for imaginary spending cuts everybody knows will never happen.
Tingles expressing his gratitude that Hurricane Sandy killed scores of people and destroyed millions of lives so his living god could look presidential and bipartisan thanks to governor Krispy Kreme.He can now spend the next four years cleaning his messiah’s sphincter with his tongue.
The day will come when we look back on when gas was $4.00 and refer to them as the good old days.
We were pushed over the cliff and into the abyss by dead-enders who have surrendered their dignity and self-respect in exchange for a life of Nanny Government giving them a lot of free stuff and making their decisions for them.They don’t give a damn about the deficit, taxes(they don’t pay any), unemployment(who wants to work?), health insurance(they get theirs free), or anybody that actually has skin in the game.
With our 2014 tax returns we will get a form to fill out listing any medical conditions you have,what medications you take and the name and contact information of your insurance carrier.If,like me,you have no insurance, you will pay a hefty fine and be placed in a government program.
The GOP-e is in the process of eliminating or marginalizing the Tea Party class of 2010 so they can go back to having circle jerk parties with the democrat buddies they split the taxpayer and lobbyist pies with.
My grandchildren may never have a good-paying full-time job or know what it’s like to be self-sufficient.
There will be another Republican president one day,but I may not live long enough to see it.I just wish I could see the country I love returned to a modicum of its former greatness before I lay my burden down for the last time.
If you have anymore feel free to post.I’ll be back sometime.
This is the day that the Lord hath made;I will rejoice and be glad in it.
We have endured ad after ad and poll after poll and it all comes down to this.Despite the LSM’s efforts to convince us it’s very close,but Obama will win a majority of the swing states, I just don’t buy it.We have predicted all along that there’s an earthquake coming and the media won’t know what’s happening.Think of Chick-Fil-A and the outpouring of support when people stand up for their principles.Think of the media dismissing the Tea Party as a small right-wing fringe group,even ignoring the Sept. 12 rally in DC that drew a million people.We watched as Obamacare was slipped through on Christmas Eve as a thief in the night.Two car companies were stolen from the rightful owners and one given to a foreign company and the other to Obama’s union thugs.So many outrages.The most grievous was allowing Americans to die because he was concentrating on his reelection.He has been a virus that has sickened us for four long years and today is the day we can administer the antidote.
But they that wait on the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.
The original plan was to go on hiatus indefinitely,since I could not accurately convey the breadth and depth of revulsion I’m feeling for this open,weeping sore on the genitals of humanity who has the unmitigated gall to consider himself the leader of the free world.But then I figured my inaction would put me in the same light as this cravenly yellow rat bastard.If you’ve been suffering from a snark deficiency,come forth and ye shall be filled for my cup runneth over….way over.
I watched Sens. Udall and Warner on FNS yesterday and when Wallace asked them directly if the drones over the Benghazi embassy were armed,they did a dance that would give Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers pause to duplicate. Politicians in general and libs in particular are loathe to say anything definite they cannot wiggle out of.That may be a large part of the contempt the public in general holds this gaggle of thieves in.
I do not watch the other Sunday talking head shows because my auto-immune system cannot process the bile spewn by these heaps of rancid animal entrails who laughingly call themselves ‘journalists.’ From what I’ve read,not one ever mentioned Benghazi.Protective to the end of the grinning purple lips with nothing but an empty soul behind them.They will successfully keep the embassy murders from becoming general knowledge until after the election,as their emperor has commanded them.How I pray the entire pack of them be laid low in 8 days time.
Doherty and Woods ignored the standdown order and rushed to the sound of the guns because they were Marines;they live by the motto: Never leave a fallen comrade behind–ever.On the best day of his miserable,meaningless street-corner hustling life the Kenyan half-breed couldn’t hack two days of Marine training.I wonder at what point the fallen warriors realized their Commander-In-Chief had sold them out to get reelected.
The damnable part is that there will be no price paid for this betrayal.Not Obama,not Cankles,not Leon Panheada.An admiral or general may take the fall,the truly guilty will walk away as they nearly always do.
During the 2008 primary when Hillary! asked about who would answer the phone at 3AM,now we know.Obama would answer the phone,watch Americans die then go back to bed so he could hop a flight to Vegas the next day to gather in more money.
I would be remiss if I did not offer prayers up for the safety of Chrissy,Ting and any other of our friends living in Sandy’s path.Be safe and well.
Jack Cashill notes that, “as the Obama campaign enters the final days, its message appears heavily focused on causes of the far left that are calculated to motivate the Democratic Party’s base.”
In short, the Democrats have abandoned any attempt to win the Independents in the middle and have gone full-bore for their message of “hand-outs and sex” … welfare, contraception and abortion without limits or regret. A recent Obama ad even likened voting for the first time to losing one’s virginity.
Your First Time [1:03]
Did you watch all of that? I couldn’t. Brrr. But check out the parody of that ad by stand-up comedian Steven Crowder. Too funny!
Free crap [1:36]
And, worst of all, Obama just isn’t pulling in the FANS like he did four years ago.
2008 campaign – Denver, Colorado: Obama draws a crowd of 100,000
2012 campaign – Denver, Colorado: Obama draws a crowd of 16,000
What?
Entertainers are actually MOCKING Teh Won?
People aren’t flocking to scream and faint for the New Messiah?
What has this country come to?!
IMHO, it’s the flies. Specifically, the White House flies.
A while back, I was doing my Bible study and decided to research the Hebrew word “bamah.”
A “bamah” was a high place that was used for idol worship in ancient Israel.
In the Google hits, I noticed references to an old viral email that had claimed Obama’s name proved him the anti-Christ.
Although I definitely believe there will be an anti-Christ someday, I haven’t seen any indication that the current White House _Resident is anything like that powerful or important.
In fact, I think our spiritual enemy showed us with White House flies exactly what teeny tiny place his servant, Barack, occupies in the grand scheme of things.
In the Bible, Satan has many names.
Among them are Beelzebub, which means Lord of the Flies; Devil, which means Slanderer; Deceiver; and Prince of the Power of the Air.
What’s that got to do with Barack?
On June 16, 2009, while talking with a CNBC anchor, Obama swatted and killed a White House fly that was disrupting the interview. Obama, the anchor and the film crew then devoted 21 seconds on camera to admiring Obama’s reflexes and zooming in on the dead fly.
June 16, 2009: Obama Swats Fly during CNBC Interview [:31]
The next morning, the swat was showcased on every “power of the air” broadcast network news show, where the anchors dripped with praise for Obama’s concentration, precision and ninja, cat-like quickness. ABC’s anchor said,
“Look at the hand coming up. The poise. The cupping. And the quick slap … Just knocked it away, very rare.”
[I think I just threw up my mouth a little.]
Now, I’m not saying that anyone who kills a fly does so with the power of Satan or is a servant of Satan. Not at all. I had my own (uncelebrated by the “powers of the air” broadcast news media) experience with a fly during a face-to-face confession in our parish’s Reconciliation Room many years ago.
There was a lighted lamp on the small table between my chair and the priest’s and a fly kept banging around on the shade and zooming at my face and at the priest’s face. It was really annoying us both and making it hard to concentrate on the Sacrament.
I don’t even know why I did this, but suddenly I just pointed at the floor in front of my feet and commanded the fly to land there. It did … so I stepped on it.
After the priest had picked his jaw up off the floor and plugged his eyeballs back in his face, he blurted out, “How did you do that?”
I just shrugged and said, “It was disrupting the Sacrament, so I took authority over it.”
Honestly, at the time it didn’t seem like such a big deal. I really just felt that I had total authority to command that particular fly to lay down and die. Looking back, I have to admit, it was kind of out there in weird-ville. But hey. It happened. Exactly like I’ve said here.
Obviously, the experience stuck with me, because when I saw that clip of Obama killing a fly with his hand and the camera panning and showing it lying there on the rug by his chair … it just struck me as significant in some yet-to-be-seen spiritual way.
Fast forward to one year and one week later.
On June 22, 2010, in the SAME place and the SAME setting, while Barack was bragging on ObamaCare — which he had signed into law March 23, 2010 — a White House fly landed right on his mouth.
We all saw how much slander and deception the “powers of the air” (aka, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and their affiliates and lackeys) the Obama Democrats had used to get that evil piece of legislation passed against the will of free Americans.
But unlike the year before, this time the on-air White House fly did not conveniently lay down its life for the greater glory of the Left’s messiah. It landed right ON his deceitful, slanderous mouth.
Up until that day, it had seemed to me that Barack Obama was being supported supernaturally by forces I could not help but see as evil. His corrupt, hate-filled cronies, his lack of credentials and skills, and his absurdly fast and easy rise to the most powerful office on the planet just didn’t fit any other scenario for me.
And what one thing most typified his 2008 campaign? Celebrity. Fan-dom. Glitz.
Glamour.
Check out the definition and origins of the word:
GLAMOUR
1: a magic spell
2: an exciting and often illusory and romantic attractiveness
Origin: Scots alteration of English word, grammar, because of a popular association between occult practices and knowledge acquired chiefly from books. First Known Use: 1715
It fits, right? The thing is … Satan hates his own servants just like he hates everyone and everything else. We see it all the time in the movies.
There’s a scene in End of Days that really typifies this for me. It’s set in an alley where Jericho Cane (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has just killed two of Satan’s servants, Marge (CCH Pounder) and another police officer. A few moments later, Satan (Gabriel Byrne) looks at his two dead servants, scornfully leaves the one, but says of Marge, “You I can still use.” Then, he resurrects her.
So, the day I saw that fly land on Barack Obama’s mouth, my one and only thought was, “Whatever Satan wanted him to do is done. He has no more use for him.” I knew it would take time for Obama’s natural followers to drop away, but once the supernatural supports were removed, Obama was doomed.
Oct 27, 2012: Associated Press reporters filed a report from Libya that completely smashes the White House’s lame excuses about a protest gone bad.
The AP reporters say they interviewed five witnesses: one of the embassy guards, several people living next door to the consulate compound who were present when the militants first moved in and a lawyer who passed by the scene as he was headed to his nearby home.
According to these witnesses:
The attack on our Benghazi consulate began around nightfall with around 150 bearded gunmen sealing off the streets leading to the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
There was no sign of a spontaneous protest against an American-made movie denigrating Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, but the militants did gather around 20 youths in the area to chant against the film.
An hour or so later, the heavily armed militants blasted their way into the compound.
The trucks the attackers used to block off streets were marked with the logo of Ansar al-Shariah.
Ansar al-Sharia is one of the many powerful, heavily armed militias that operate freely in Libya. The group has an ideology similar to that of al-Qaeda, but it is not clear whether al-Qaeda’s branch in North Africa (AQIM) was involved in the assault.
Reporting international news is AP’s bailiwick.
On September 11, an American consulate in a red-hot Muslim region of the world is invaded by heavily armed men.
For the first time in 30 years, an American ambassador is murdered.
Our diplomatic compounds are U.S. soil, which makes this a direct, murderous assault on the United States of America.
The attack occurs on the anniversary of 9/11, the biggest attack on America by Muslim extremists.
AP filed this eyes-on-the-ground report October 27, forty-six days after the event. It says,
“The past week, the AP has gathered accounts from five witnesses.”
In other words, the Associated Press did NOT get around to interviewing eye witnesses of this world-class news event for SIX FULL WEEKS after it happened.
SIX weeks?
Six WEEKS!!
If you go and read the article itself (URL below), you’ll also see a lot of whining about how confusing it all was and where AP reports got some of it right and blahdiblah about those terrible Republicans who politicize stuff during an election year.
Whine. Whine. Cripes, they sound like Democrats. Oh wait. They are Democrats … Democrats who have seen not Chris Stevens’ blood on the wall, but their own.
Don’t expect to see me weeping big ol’ crocodile tears about these undeclared Obama PACs going DOWN. They so deserve it, the scumbags.
If you’re as old as I am — not that I would wish that on you — then you remember Dan Quayle, George H. W. Bush’s vice president. And if you remember Dan Quayle, then surely you remember the notorious spelling bee incident, for which poor Dan is still derisively remembered even now, twenty years later.
Here’s what happened: Vice President Quayle was visiting an elementary school classroom in Trenton, New Jersey, where the students were having a spelling bee. The teacher asked Quayle to be the one to read the words to the students. She handed him a stack of flash cards, on one of which was written the word “potatoe” [sic]. Quayle thought the word was misspelled on the flash card, but he deferred to the teacher. When the student spelled the word correctly, Quayle told him he needed to add an “e” at the end. The lamestream media, who detested Quayle, pounced on the mistake, citing it as incontrovertible proof that Quayle was a blithering idiot.
Ever since the moment Quayle had been chosen as Bush’s VP, the LSM had been trying desperately to destroy him. They spared no effort in searching for dirt on Quayle, but apparently the guy had led a pretty squeaky-clean life, because they weren’t able to find any of the kind of stuff they were hoping for — no affairs, no love children, no DWIs, not so much as an overdue library book or an unpaid parking ticket. By the time of the spelling bee incident they were truly desperate, and they pounced on Quayle’s little mistake like a shoal of starving piranhas on a three-legged cow. Quayle is an ignoramus! He can’t even spell potato! What a dumbass! He’s not qualified to be vice president! Hell, he’s not qualified to live!
Why am I dredging up this old story? Because I find it instructive. If an army of investigators spends insane amounts of time and effort trying to find out something horrible about someone they despise, and the worst they can come up with is that the guy isn’t the world’s greatest speller, what does that tell you? They might as well give up. They won’t, of course — they’ll seize on anything, no matter how trivial, if they think it will humiliate the object of their loathing — but the whole thing positively reeks of desperation. Even if Quayle had not been handed a card with the word misspelled on it, even if he had actually spelled it incorrectly himself, so what? If that’s the worst thing you can accuse a guy of, then your hatred of him obviously has no logical or factual basis. It says more about the accuser than the accused; in fact, it says precisely nothing about the accused, while saying a great deal about the accuser.
Which brings me to Mitt Romney’s innocent little comment at the last presidential debate about “binders full of women.” Without exception, everyone who heard that statement knew exactly what Romney meant by it. If Barack Obama or Joe Biden had referred to “binders full of women,” the lamestream media would have given it as much attention as they give to every other infelicitous phrase uttered by those two — which is none whatsoever. It became a story only because Mitt Romney said it, and the left hates him with a passion, possibly even more than they hated Dan Quayle. The “binders full of women” thing is Romney’s “potatoe” moment.
If the left had succeeded in finding out anything truly damning about Mitt Romney — and their failure was not for want of trying, or lack of resources, or insufficient time — would they be harping endlessly on the “binders” comment? Of course not. They harp on it because they have nothing else to harp on. As gaffes go, it wasn’t even very funny — not half as funny as Joe Biden telling a guy in a wheelchair to stand up, or Barack Obama saying asthmatic kids need breathalyzers, or Bob Schieffer talking about the SEALS killing Obama bin Laden, or Chris Matthews saying that he forgot for a while that Obama was black. But when you’re desperate, you’ll grasp at anything, no matter how lame.
Thus it was that a small coven of feminists who had too much time on their hands and nothing worthwhile to do decided to show up outside the Ohio Republican Party Headquarters dressed as binders. You probably wouldn’t be able to tell they were supposed to look like binders had it not been for their chanting “Equal rights, not binders” as they traipsed around in circles on the sidewalk. (Ladies: Next time you hold a protest, consider hiring a professional writer to come up with a more inspiring slogan.)
Mark Steyn comments:
Yes, indeed. Romney wants to return us to the 1950s, when a woman’s place was in the binder, when every predatory male had his little black binder, and condescending misogynists would interview applicants for lieutenant governor of Massachusetts and smirk, “Why, Miss Jones, you’re beautiful without your binder . . . ” It was the age of patriarchal sitcoms when the little lady would greet her man at the front door with his pipe and binders, where girls were told they could aspire no further than to ace Home Ec and thereby persuade some eligible young man to put a ring file on their finger. We all remember the careless sexist assumptions of the so-called family shows of those days — Leave It to Binder, Ozzie and Binder, Binder Knows Best, My Three Binders, Gilligan’s Binder, The Binder Bunch — until eventually the mold was broken by The Mary Binder Moore Show in the early Seventies. By then, feminists across the land were burning their binders, and Erica Jong had popularized the “zipless file.” As Gloria Steinem famously said, a woman needs a binder like a fish needs a three-tab manila hanging folder.
(Read the rest of Mark’s rant here — you won’t be sorry.)
The left is going bonkers. They are more desperate than I have seen them in a long, long time. When an innocuous little comment about binders can send them into such a frenzy, there’s only one explanation: Their days in power are numbered, and they know it.
