Sarah Palin on Wisconsin Recall: “Obama had to distance himself from the solutions.”
“Solutions?” he says, “What solutions?”
“Obama is so self-satisfied that in his mind, his legacy was largely written before he stepped into office. So fervent is his ideological belief system that even objective evidence of his dismal policy failures doesn’t shake his confidence in his prescriptions.” David Limbaugh @ http://www.wnd.com/2012/05/obamas-morbid-vanity/
Limbaugh’s article reminded me of our once-upon-a-time pediatrician.
My youngest was on the 50th percentile for height and weight from birth through 2 months checkup, but at her next, 4 months, she had dropped into the 5th. I think in that time she gained something like 4 ounces. Her doctor seemed less than concerned; I was alarmed.
For six months, the baby’s growth crept along in that very-small-for-her-age place. If she’d been small from the start, that would be okay. But she hadn’t been.
The pediatrician diddled around with a “wait and see” attitude, which made me slightly nuts. So I went and did my own research, ultimately taking the baby to a specialist. He did some tests and worked with me to create a treatment plan, which we instituted at about the eight months mark.
Within six weeks of starting, the baby’s rate of growth had QUADRUPLED. When I showed this to the pediatrician and told her what the specialist and I had done, she just sniffed and said the treatment hadn’t done anything at all.
“You just started feeding her more.”
IOW, rather than admit that the treatment plan was effective, she as good as accused me of STARVING my infant for SIX MONTHS.
That kid is now 28 years old and I STILL want to slap that damn doctor. I KNOW that if she had prescribed a treatment that produced a quadrupling of growth, she’d have taken credit.
Ditto Obama’s policies. If they’d worked, he’d take credit. They haven’t worked, but he won’t take blame.
The past fortnight has really been a microcosm of what Barack Obama is really about.
The media went off in an orgasmic explosion this morning, practically wetting themselves to jump on the “story” about Rush Limbaugh calling Georgetown Law student/professional activist Sandra Fluke a slut.
Now, in the interest of fairness, I will say that I think Mr. Limbaugh made a poor choice of words in the matter. The proper term for a person who expects his or her sex life to be subsidized by, well, anyone, is “whore.” But I digress.
Not one to miss a moment like this, our dear President reportedly called Ms. Fluke personally to make the sad, sad puppy dog eyes with her over the phone. (I guess asking her over for a beer would have raised too many eyebrows.) And in so doing, we find Mr. Obama yet again offering his Presidential condolences to someone who, in all actuality, owes us a massive apology.
I’m referring, of course, to what Sarah Palin brilliantly dubbed the President’s “naive apology to savages” in Afghanistan. For anyone who was stuck under a rock as these events unfolded, here’s the short version: Our troops in Afghanistan disposed of desecrated Korans – desecrated, I might add, by Taliban prisoners they were holding – in the manner proscribed by Islam, which is burning them. For our troops’ heinous act of respecting the religious traditions of a country in which people are still trying to kill them, there were riots in the streets and some of our troops were murdered by Afghani soldiers. In what has got to be the most dickless move of the 21st century, President Obama apologized. And when his initial apology precipitated more riots and more murders of our troops, he apologized again.
What was the definition of insanity again?
Now, I live on a military base. My husband is in no immediate danger of deployment, but I do have two neighbors who were recently deployed to Afghanistan, leaving wives and children back home. Another neighbor is expecting her husband to be home soon. I spent some time chatting with one of those wives, a friend of mine, yesterday, and found out that she won’t even ask her husband if he’s near all the rioting. She’s already dealing with some mild insomnia, you see, and has no desire to make it worse.
These are good people, brave men – one of whom, judging by the bumper sticker, actually voted for the guy whose spineless, pantywaist penchant for inappropriate apologetics has now put him and his comrades-in-arms in even more danger of coming home in a box.
Just when I thought my indignity meter could go no higher, Obama dropped another bomb on the military in the form of his budget proposal, in which he outlines his desire for enormous increases to Tricare premiums for veterans, active duty military, and their families.
It was back during the New Deal era that companies started offering benefits as part of employee compensation packages, mainly as a way to get around FDR’s arbitrary salary caps; as such, it is now common for people to take a lower-paying job because the benefits make up for the cut in pay. It’s no secret that military personnel receive a fraction of the take-home pay that they would be getting in the private sector, but this is offset somewhat by housing benefits and Tricare, the military health care program. (Also, the fact that the military paid for your training in the first place.)
Anyone who’s had to deal with the labyrinth of red tape that is Tricare can tell you that it’s not ideal. This is not because of incompetence – these aren’t graduates of BillyBob’s Online School of Self-Medicatin’ or anything – it’s the result of the unholy trinity of massive bureaucracy, lots of patients, and cushy, cushy job security. My most recent experience in military healthcare was actually pretty decent, but previous ones have ranged from facepalm-worthy to out-and-out infuriating. It’s a pretty clear-cut case of “You get what you pay for” — and now the Dumb Bastard wants to jack up premiums by up to 300% while cheerfully whistling past his union buddies??
(As an aside: my favorite question that I got from ObamaCare supporting friends was, “Well, Tricare is better than nothing, right?” Yes. Yes it is. And dog food is better than starving; that doesn’t mean you force everyone onto the Purina diet.)
In one of the speeches Michelle Obama gave on the 2008 campaign trail, she promised something to the effect of, “Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.” I think we can count this as a promise kept …
NOTE: I am cutting this off far enough in, but before the end so you’ll be hooked and just HAVE to go visit Angela’s blog to read the rest. It’ll pump up her numbers. While you’re there, surf around. She’s a tremendous writer!
I must confess I enjoyed reading yesterday’s comments as much as I have any in quite a while.
Chrissy and I spend hours researching and posting for you,and we do it out of love.
But the best soloist in the world cannot replicate the fullness of a choir.I know you all appreciate our work,but it is meant to stimulate you to express how you feel.Getting people involved is the only way for our little group to grow.We are surely facing some trying times ahead and we need to support each other to keep our focus on what’s really important.
GP,I could only be your bodyguard if you can come up with bail money.I’m not in physical condition for a confrontation so it’s easier to just shoot somebody.I don’t suffer fools lightly and I don’t intimidate well.
SCOTUS MAY POSTPONE OBAMACARE RULING UNTIL 2016
It makes it that much more important to elect a real Republican and take control of the Senate this year.Remember Bush signed McCain-Feingold thinking that SCOTUS would surely overturn it.They didn’t.Take absolutely nothing for granted. http://www.therightscoop.com/four-more-years-scotus-may-postpone-obamacare-ruling-until-2016/
SHARPTONGUE LASHES OUT AT ‘FAKE CHRISTIANS,’ LIKE FRANKLIN GRAHAM
Keep in mind this pile of chocolate goo started his street-corner preachin’ at the age of 5. He’s gotten bigger physically,especially his piehole.Emotionally,he’s regressed.
As usual,there is a veritable plethora of agita-inducing outrages to pore over.Its only going to get worse,friends.It is critical that we stay united and support each other to survive the upcoming maelstrom.

SARAH PALIN: ‘I’M GAME’ TO RUN FOR FUTURE OFFICE.IN EVENT OF BROKERED CONVENTION ‘ALL BETS ARE OFF!’
I don’t know what she’s doing.There is no doubt if she was in the race from the beginning it would be over by now.I understand her not wanting to subject her family to the hell they would no doubt be put through, but if anybody could explain how everything starts with the cost of energy she could. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/sarah-palin-im-game-to-run-for-future-office-all-bets-are-off-in-event-of-brokered-gop-convention/
BOR:IF OBAMA WINS REELECTION YOU WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS COUNTRY IN FOUR YEARS
EVER SEE A LIBERAL GET DEPANTSED AND TAKE A BARE-ASS SPANKING?WATCH THIS
Thank you all for your kind words and prayers.I could not ask for a more loving,caring group of people to call my friends.Chrissy,I was surprised to hear we’ve had the same experience.I’ll definitely use the Nature’s Sunshine HS-2,if you can tell me where to find it.
While I was doing transport,I worked one Saturday even though I was really sick.When I got back to the office I called DW and told her when I got home she was taking me to the emergency room.I had a fever of 102 and an x-ray showed I had pneumonia in my left lung.The doctor said my blood oxygen level was 72 and by law I couldn’t leave until it was at least 90.I spent over an hour breathing albuterol through a nebulizer.He said I probably have sleep apnea,but my body has adjusted to the low oxygen level.
When you start thinking death can come quickly it puts things in perspective.I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in a slower,more innocent time in America.Life was far more family-oriented and less cynical.Dad went to work,Mom took care of the house and she was always there when you got home from school.When mom said: ‘wait till your dad gets home’ it really meant something.
When somebody fom the neighborhood or from church suffered a hardship we didn’t whine about the government helping out.We offered anything we had to help because they would surely do the same.
Between my junior and senior year in high school one of my classmates got pregnant and her parents had to take her out of school.Now they have daycare for student mothers because it’s so commonplace.
We went from pickup baseball games at the park and reading 10 cent comic books to who had the fastest car or the loudest 8 track tape player.We cruised the local root beer stands and parked in the back row with our girl friends at the drive-in movie theater.I won’t go into details–I’m a gentleman.
I remember how things were and see how they are now and I can’t help but feel sad for those who will never know what it was like to have pride in who you were,where you lived,what you did and found satisfaction in never asking anybody for anything.

Actually,when they roll in the hay Barry feeds it to her.

OBAMA THE GREAT
“The world will little note,nor long remember
Barack Obama, because contrary to his own opinion, he is the nation’s worst president. He is an arrogant, hyper-partisan, race-baiting, committed socialist — a man whose deliberate attempts to transform the nation into a banana republic, with pictures of himself on the side of every building, have been thwarted only by his need to win one more election.
ON FEB.12,1809 OUR 16TH PRESIDENT,ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS BORN.
Ting,I’m chartreuse with envy that you got to see Sarah live.I watched on CSPAN and like the crowd there I got a little impatient with all the stuff they had to do before she spoke.I sat there watching her deliver her awesome message and kept asking myself:WHY THE HELL ISN’T SHE OUR CANDIDATE?????
People backing Newt claim he could beat Obama in a debate.Sarah would gut him like a salmon.If the media thinks they’ve intimidated her into shutting up they better think again.
There is no one–no one in the Republican party that can command an audience the way she can.It takes a lot to completely disembowel somebody and seem so polite about it.She even got in a dig at the establishment GOP by saying some Tea Party members WILL have leadership positions next session.
I’ve read elsewhere the last few days that there is a possibility of a brokered convention and Jeb Bush might be drafted.We don’t need another Bush right now but can you imagine Gov. Palin coming out the winner?The sound of liberal heads exploding would be the stuff dreams are made of.It’s more than we can hope for,but we know she’ll be heard from again soon.
I saw the Occubaggers trying to disrupt her speech and were shouted down by folks shouting USA!USA!
Dana Loesch,who gave a great speech of her own,followed these rodents outside.
WHITNEY HOUSTON WAS FOUND DEAD IN THE BATHTUB OF HER HOTEL ROOM LAST NIGHT.DRUGS WERE PRESENT.
THE GRAMMY SHOW IS SCRAMBLING TO TURN IT INTO A MEMORIAL.
God blessed her with fame,fortune,and a powerful voice that had few,if any peers.What a waste.
This is her last performance.
To those to whom it is relevant;Cathy arrived home yesterday,safe and sound.Needless to say,Mrs. Pistol and I were gobsmacked.She loves her new dress and I’m sure would like to tell us of her journey.
Words cannot express my gratitude for the warmth and compassion you all show in so many ways.You fill an emptiness in my soul and give my simple life purpose.It is a privilege to count you all as my friends.May God grant you the kind of peace and happiness I have found by loving and following Him.

OK,CHRISSY:HERE’S THE STORY
When I was about 23 my sister and her roommate(cute,as I recall)decided to have a Halloween party.The caveat was men had to be dressed as women and vice versa.Frankly,I never wanted my vice versa.I wanted to use one of my mom’s dresses(she was a big woman) but she talked me into putting on one of my sister’s dresses.She borrowed a wig from her neighbor and gave me one of her bras with the…uh… ‘foam rubber enhancements’.I think they were called “falsies.” I put on a pair of sis’ pantyhose,but they only came up to the top of my thighs so I had to keep reaching down to yank them up.Why did people give me funny looks when I did that?I was driving a 1971 Barracuda with vinyl seats and tried driving without sitting all the way down because they were cold as hell.
There I was,smoking cigars and shooting pool trying to look as macho as possible under the circumstances.It’s really a challenge to play nineball with foam rubber missiles always in your way.Anyway,sis’ neighbor staggers in not in costume,and starts watching me.As my grandma would put it,he was so drunk he didn’t know if he was afoot or horseback.Finally,he came over and said, ‘who are you,sweetheart?’
I told him I was twice the man he’ll ever be and more woman than he’ll ever get.I decided it would be better to leave the party early than to have this creep wake up the next morning thinking a girl beat his ass.Although I still appreciate a beautiful woman in heels,that was my first and only foray into the twisted world of crossdressing.That’s it.True story.
FIRST,THEY CAME FOR THE CATHOLICS
There was a discussion on the radio this morning about Bozo cutting off Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to non-compliant Catholic hospitals.Judging from the initial outrage Barky may have bitten off more than he can chew.
Chrissy:I was going to comment on your post about what would make a great president yesterday but at the time I was seething with such anger I could not control my motor skills.I was watching The Five on FNC as I usually do,just to check out the high heels Kimberley Guilfoile was wearing.(I’m a pig,sue me.)
That fat turd Bob Beckel was wailing about Allen West’s speech at the Lincoln Day dinner. As I was researching today’s thread I came across this article about it.There’s a video of the exchange between turd-boy and Greg Gutfeld.You can figure out what set me off.
DIANE SAWYER QUIZZES DEAR READER ON THE SUPER BOWL AND SINGING

CAMP MITTENS DUPLICITY ON ALLEN WEST WORSE THAN A CONSPIRACY–IT’S A HABIT
I don’t remember when I’ve been so outraged,so disgusted at the GOP.Even though they picked up 2 congressional seats,they redistricted West out to make other republican and democrat seats safer.The Tea Party electees were looked at as interlopers when they came to Wahington.Idealogues are not welcome in the DC den of perdition where everybody gets rich and republicans know their place.
The democrats in Ill-Annoy sure weren’t shy about pushing republican districts together where we face losing some good people.My congressman,Don Manzullo, is a ten-termer who has always stuck with conservatism.Now he’s forced to run against Adam Kinzinger,an Iraq veteran and rising GOP star.We have a difficult choice to make.The game is rigged and I resent it.
