If you think Republican leadership is to blame for the bad economy, consider your news source please. The MSM is in the tank for the Democrats. They’ve been lying to the public for years.
The red is when we had Republicans controlling 2 or 3 of the three budget and policy-making bodies (Senate, House, White House). Blue is when we had Democrats controlling 2 or 3 of these three.
A visually impaired radio journalist attended Pope Francis’ address to the media last Saturday. Accompanying him was his guide dog, a yellow Labrador Retriever named Asia. After the speech, the pope ask the reporter and his dog to come meet him. Pope Francis chatted with the reporter, who asked the pope for a blessing for his wife and daughter. Pope Francis also gave a special blessing to the dog, which is fitting. He named himself after St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals. 🙂
Speaking of animals … methinks the GOP doesn’t have a race problem so much as a species problem. The RINO species to be specific … like this pair of Dumb and Dumber.
Leftist dilemma: Whether or not to raise hell over how much the Satan in The History Channel’s The Bible series looks like a certain somebody. You know they want to (what with raising hell being their fave sport 365/24/7) … but doing so would give increased notoriety to and therefore free advertising for the series itself. What to do? What to do!
TWEET (tweeter’s gravatar shows a black woman): If you weren’t offended when Obama was been depicted as Jesus Christ, then spare me your outrage that an actor playing Satan looks like him.
ICYMI: At CPAC, Steven Crowder pointed out that the repugnant Ashley Judd had tweeted … from her iPhone no less … that Apple customers are financing “mass rape.” The lying liars who lie in the media reported this as: “Fox News reporter cracks Ashley Judd rape joke at CPAC.” Libtard heads exploded across virtual space cuz, you know, “Rape is nothing to laugh about!” (I’m guessing it’s still okay to wish it on Conservatives though.)
If you have any interest in politics (and you don’t live under a rock) you have seen the emotional confrontation between Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Senator Dianne Feinstein of California. Libs and the media (but I repeat myself) have been dumping on Cruz for his “abrasive tone”, but the fact is, Cruz clobbered Liberals and Feinstein so badly that it’s laughable.
The Unions vs. Obamacare: Disenchantment sets in By Mark Hemingway – Mar 25, 2013
Obama said, ‘If you like your health plan, you can keep it.’ NOT. Unions were big supporters of Obamacare, but they may be among the hardest hit and they’re starting to wake up and smell the burned coffee.
Mychal Massie says he has “never held animus and resentment toward any group of people much less a group of people based on color of skin. I wasn’t raised that way.” He shares what Alveda King answered him when he asked how she can harbor no hatred for white people when whites murdered both her father and her uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
“Oh Mychal, don’t you know that I’ve got Jesus?”
She went on to explain what God had done for her and how God’s love, grace and His forgiveness of her sins had made it possible for her to love and forgive others.
Compare this with Barack and Michelle Obama. They have never suffered the painful personal loss that Alveda has, yet they are both filled with hatred for America and a deep resentment of whites. For more than two decades, they chose to regularly attend and raise their daughters in a church that preaches a gospel of extreme anti-Americanism and racial hatred.
While Michelle was at Princeton, she unfriended black classmates she thought were acting too friendly to white students. Then, she wrote her entire thesis about how awful it had been for her to endure all the white people at Princeton. Most folks would have been grateful for the chance to attend an Ivy League college; not born-to-privilege-and-mad-all-the-time Michelle Robinson Obama.
It doesn’t matter what either of them says they’re all about on The View or Oprah or Letterman. What matters is what we see them doing. In Galatians 5:19-23, St. Paul taught us the FRUITS OF SIN include:
IDOLATRY
HATREDS
RIVALRY
JEALOUSY
OUTBURSTS OF FURY
ACTS OF SELFISHNESS
DISSENSIONS
FACTIONS
OCCASIONS OF ENVY
St. Paul further taught that the fruits of the Holy Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. What difference does it make? Nothing more nor less than eternal life. SINNERS “will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) staged an incredible nearly 13 hour filibuster to block President Barack Obama’s CIA nominee John Brennan, but mostly to bring attention to potential drone strikes against Americans in the U.S.

March 6, 2013: Dinner with the “messiah” at the Jefferson Hotel
President Obama broke bread with a select group of twelve Republican Senators. (Was this in an upper room, do you suppose?) The event was alleged to be “part of a larger effort to jump start budget negotiations.” Say what? BUDGET negotiations? ::snort::
This president has not passed a budget EVAH. Even during his first two years in office, when he had Democrat majorities in BOTH houses of Congress, he didn’t get a budget passed.
During the second two years, Republicans had a majority in the House; THEY passed budgets. The Democrat Majority Leader in the Senate wouldn’t bring them to a vote and Democrat President Barack Obama did nothing to make him.
The situation is the same with this, the 113th Congress. Democrats hold majority control of 2 of the 3 bodies that are required by BY LAW to pass a federal budget EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
Oddly … the Left spins every iota of economic bad news as being due to eeeeeeeeeevil Republican obstructionism. Apparently, Republicans have super-human powers!
2007-2008: Republican President George W. Bush was more powerful than a locomotive, able to destroy the global economy, drive gas and food prices through the roof and put millions of Americans out of work despite having Democrat majorities in both houses of Congress!
2009-2010: Even in retirement, George W. Bush was faster than a speeding bullet, able to fly UNSEEN from Texas to DC to continue his evil fascist control over the Democrat-majority House, Democrat-majority Senate and Democrat-occupied White House!
2011-Present: Since gaining a majority in just the House of Representatives, Republicans are still leaping over the Democrat majority in the Senate and White House, totally preventing these valiant warriors-for-the-people from doing their jobs!
ABC News called Obama’s dinner last night an “extremely rare” meeting between this president and Republicans in Congress. Duh. I have no recollection that Obama has ever done such a thing before in the entire time he’s been in office.
He played golf with House Majority Leader Boehner once. Ooh. Ahh. And I recall one budget meeting with Republicans where he demonstrated all that famous “cool leadership” when he got really pissed about not getting his way and stomped out.
Two members of the Senate participated in the FILIBUSTER BEFORE attended the DINNER: Sen. Pat Toomey and Sen. Ron Johnson.

Obama Furloughs FDA Inspectors; Keeps $100K First Family Dog Walker
Remember when Malia and Sasha were going to be walking “their” dog, cuz Michelle and Barack just sooooooooo believe in teaching responsibility? It seems the real responsibility for meeting Bo’s needs is left to the taxpayers who cough up $102,000 a year to pay for a professional dog handler.
Back in 2008, while the war in Iraq was the big issue, McCain was ahead because people trusted him with national defense.
Then, the economy crapped out. Now, I’ve seen credible evidence that the timing of the crash was engineered by Democrats to win them the election, but that’s another story.
My point today is that the media spun McCain as an out-of-touch Rich White Republican who couldn’t possibly be trusted to fix “Bush’s” mess. We needed OBAMA.
Keep this is mind. He was elected primarily To. Fix. The. Economy.
Feb 15, 2013: Democrat Representative Joe Salazar says women don’t need guns to protect themselves from rapists, because, well, the guy following you and making you feel like you’re in trouble might not actually be planning to harm you. And, well, duh, “That’s why we have call boxes, that’s why we have safe zones, that’s why we have the whistles.” [1:03]
Remember how the mainstream media harped on Republican Todd Akin’s remarks about “legitimate rape”? Do not hold your breath waiting for any of them to pressure anybody anywhere to talk about Salazar’s remarks. After all, he’s a Democrat. If a Republican uttered that “callbox and whistle” absurdity, the media storm would be visible from space.
Meanwhile, an 11-year old girl used a rifle to scare off home invaders. Don’t hold your breath waiting for the national media to cover this one. They would only care about her if she were a Democrat and her attackers (who they could prove or pretend were Republicans) had raped and/or killed her. But a strong-minded female who defends herself with a rifle (a PINK rifle no less!) … crickets.
Armed 11 year old Girl Defends Home from 3 armed Burglars: Armed Citizen [2:01]
Howdy everyone, hope you enjoyed your President’s Day. I took a moment to consider the typical liberal left hypocrisy as evidenced by media attention. Think about the episode involving former IL Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr, and his wife and campaign funds misappropriation to the tune of $750k. What, you’re not hearing about that in the media? Imagine if this were instead a former black conservative GOP Member of Congress. Or how about the countless droning stories about a Hispanic Senator taking a drink of water, as opposed to a Hispanic Senator involved in ethics violations and potentially underage prostitution. Yep, the duplicitous hypocrisy and double standards are alive and well…just think if Operation Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and drone attacks on Americans had occurred in a Republican administration.
On Feb.6,1911,the only man I would ever call president was born in Tampico,Ill.
We’ll surely never see his like ever again.He had the unique ability to talk above the biased media noise machine rather than try to talk through them.He recognized the innate ability posessed by most Americans to do great things when given the freedom to chase their dreams unfettered by government regulations.Just a few decades removed,he would not even be welcomed in his own party given the spineless,wishy-washy moderate proles who run the party these days and don’t want anybody who would interrupt the incestuous relationship they carry on with the leftist socialists to share the taxpayer-funded benefits.We’ve seen that with Sarah Palin and with the Tea Party candidates last year.If we cannot take our party back,God help us.
The Republican Party is now officially on record as supporting the de-funding of the taxpayer-supported Planned Parenthood abortion business. On Friday, the Republican National Committee passed a resolution to end “any and all” taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, the nation’s biggest abortion company, and to send money to legitimate women’s health care efforts instead.
Also on Friday, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson (a President Obama appointee) dismissed a lawsuit against the government that had been filed by The Archdiocese of Washington, The Catholic University of America, Consortium of Catholic Academies, Archbishop Carroll High School, and Catholic Charities of D.C. Her reason? The organizations had NOT YET been adversely affected by the HHS mandate. Catholic University says it will keep fighting the Obamcare HHS mandate.
An abortion facility in Lima, Ohio, succumbed to financial problems and and increasingly strong pro-life presence in Central Ohio. It’s closed!According to 40 Days for Life, this closing makes 27 abortion facilities that have gone out of business following peaceful 40 Days for Life vigils outside their doors. Praise God! The Lima abortuary had employed two baby killers. Sadly, Harley Blank is still killing babies in Columbus, Thomas Michaelis in Toledo. Blank was honored earlier this year by Planned Parenthood for his bloody 30-year career. Michaelis was convicted in 1991 of two counts of Attempted Gross Sexual Imposition, one count of Voyeurism, and one count of Public Indecency.
At 20 weeks, ultrasound showed Baby Gudrum had part of his brain growing down the front of his face. The docs suggested aborting. The family has 7 other children and the mom is 40. For many in our anti-life culture, it would be a no-brainer (sorry, pun intended). But these parents said no. “That’s my child. It’s that simple. I’m not going to take the life of my child.” I can’t do this story any kind of justice in a blerb. You gotta go read it! Kleenex Alert!! (Cool factoid: The Dad in this uber Pro-Life, faithful Catholic, homeschooling family is an appellate court judge!)
