    I have to say that aside from his marxist political outlook, the one thing that really pisses me off about the current occupant of the White House is the fact that someone who has never had a REAL job in his life is going to lecture ME about how I should live mine and how he knows what is best for me.

    He has no real knowledge of economics, the health industry, the car industry, the banking industry, the military or anything other than community organizing, and yet he’s engineering the takeover of all of it.

    I knew he was a moron by the summer….his picking of that dope Biden confirmed it.

    I never really said much about some of my adventures in politic over at 1.0 and I may not here. In the last campaign I was personally introduced to just about every candidate and there was only one that disturbed me and he is now our President with his cult like following, very disturbing.

    I think he doesn’t back it up because he doesn’t have the intellectual chops to defend any of his ideas past the first counter-argument.

    That’s what happens when you get your ideas from bumper stickers.

    It’s glaringly apparent, that anyone leaving 1.0 now, no matter how classy and gracious the poster is, will quickly be accused of being a closet racist, etc.

    There is no reason now, to leave in that manner. Of course, the option is still available, but it just goes to show you the great lengths the ongoing purge will be. No way to prove people are just leaving of their own accord, no disagreement, nothing.

    I’d never heard of him before, but that dude in the video is vastly smarter than Obama. What America needs is more black people like him and less Van Jones, less Reverend Wrights, less Kanye Wests and less Reverend Sharptons.

    It is a pure myth, perpetuated by racist liberals that Obama is so smart or enlightened. I’ve always claimed that he was an inexperienced dumbass, fancy schools or not.

    Black people have been getting scammed by the left and democrats for ages now. Just look at ACORN and the two very white and pretty grotesque looking Rathke brothers. The policies of the left only helps keep many black people enslaved in virtual chains.

    Everytime a fascist racist liberal of any color plays the race-card, they are merely admitting to their intellectual inferiority, as their goal is to stifle all debate and to shut up their opponent. Krauthammer says it best – “Racism is the last refuge of the liberal scoundrel”

    With the new crowd that has taken over 1.0, a crowd which mainly consists of a bunch of intellectually dishonest mental midgets, it is not surprising at all that they have also resorted to the tactics favored by the weak and the intellectually inferior.

    I find there’s a lot of things wrong with Dennis Kucinich, but to his credit, he does have a sense of humor.

    Case in point: During a Democratic primary debate in Iowa in 2003, Kucinich was told of Iowans who liked him as a candidate, but didn’t think he was electable. Kucinich’s response: “Well, I am electable, if you vote for me”.

    Also, when he ran in 2003-04, Dennis Miller would feature a recurring segment on long defunct TV show on CNBC called What Would Dennis Kucinich Do?; funniest thing I ever saw on that show.

    Afternoon Blogmocracy!

    I made THE best chicken the other day, I’m making again today and I thought I’d share it. It’s easy, delicious and easily duplicated.

    Preheat oven to 500.

    Take whole chicken, remove giblets (I fed most to my Pits – they went berzerk) and rinse the chicken with cool water.

    Quarter a fresh, washed lemon. Remove skin from 7-8 (or more) garlic cloves.

    Stuff lemon and garlic cloves in the chicky cavity.

    Liberally (heh) sprinkle sea salt, fresh ground pepper and garlic powder all over chicken.

    Stuff that puppy in the oven until the plastic thingamajig pops or until juices run clear. An hour, give or take.

    This was the best, juciest chicken I have EVER tasted, by far. Several friends visiting concurred. For extra flavor, baste the chicken a few times with the garlicky, lemony juice in the bottom of the pan.

    Enjoy!

    Beautiful weather, and friendly, feisty Americans who don’t want their country trashed by the clueless socialists in the WH. I am proud to have participated.

    I heard Obama told George S. on ABC this morning that he didn’t know about how ACORN was funded. Rather odd, don’t you think, since he was a friggin’ lawyer for that corrupt organization.

    If Obama isn’t a liar, he sure seems pretty unaware of what goes on the country he’s supposed to be leading.

    Many got that impression from his posts, which were often beer soaked.
    In the meat world he isn’t like that at all.
    You must also realize something very important to his mind-set at that time. He was EOD, and seldom a week went by when he didn’t have a friend killed by IED in Iraq. It wore on him.

    Glad to hear everything was great at your Tea Party (hope you also got to say hi to Michelle Malkin).

    When President Obama is without his teleprompter, he always seems lost.

    About that teleprompter:

    Sunday, September 20, 2009
    Uh Oh
    So after we watched all of Big Guy’s TV appearances this morning for the umpteenth time, he and I and a couple of other aides rehearsed a speech he’ll be making tomorrow. The idea behind the speech is to have him talking about the wonderful innovations America is developing.

    But the real reason is for him to announce his support for regulating the Internet, something called “Net Neutrality.” The way Big O was describing it, it sounds like socialism to me, but hey, you get what you elect, right?

    More important to me at the moment was the way Big Guy talked about how important it was that the government make sure everyone couldn’t do anything unique or special online, and he kept looking at my screens with this weird look in his eyes, like he was telling me, “I know what you’ve been doing, and now the feds are gonna shut you down sucka.”

    Or maybe he was just rehearsing a new, steely look, getting ready to face down the Russians next week at the G20. But then I remember that look for the Russians is a good six months too late and is now useless.

    If the current occupant of La Casa Blanca thinks he can fatigue us with his constant attacks on our way of life, then the fact that he really doesn’t know America will be on display.

    re: #183 by no2liberals

    Methinks the plan is to move as much of this stuff through, as quickly as possible, before the American people figure out they’ve been duped.

    “We’re” starting to figure it out now, so the White House view is that te pace must be quickened.

    All the while, there are people saying “all of you right wing kooks are paranoid, just relax and focus on the hatred on display at tea parties”.

    Rumor has it she is too big for the broom anymore. Has to rely on heavy haulers who are dead heading it.

    Got the eye bleach ready?

    I wonder if she has a picture of Charles on her dildo?

    You think you had the last laugh
    Now you know this cant be true
    Even though you banned me from your blog now
    Sometimes you must feel blue
    You make the best of each new day
    You try not to be sad
    Even though the sky falls down upon you
    Call it midnight feelin bad
    When you wake up to the promise
    Of your dream world turnin red
    With one less in your blogroll,
    Was it someone that I read
    Away you will go bikin
    In a race among the ruins
    If you plan to face tomorrow
    Do it soon

    The road to fame is littered
    By the bones of other blogs
    Who in the magic of the moment
    Were turned into link hogs
    You try to understand it
    But you never seem to find
    Any other explanation
    Is just a bannable state of mind

    When you wake up to the promise
    Of your dream world turnin red
    With one less in your blogroll
    Was it someone that I read
    Away you will go bikin
    In a race among the ruins
    If you plan to face tomorrow
    Do it soon

    So you open registration to the left
    You know this cannot last
    Even though Atari was your first love
    From its archaic code you pass
    Just think about the fools
    Who by their virtue can be found
    In a most unusual situation
    Playin jester to you, clown

    When you wake up to the promise
    Of your dream world turnin red
    With one less in your blogroll
    Was it someone that I read
    Away you will go bikin
    In a race among the ruins
    If you plan to face tomorrow
    Do it soon

    When you wake up in the mornin
    And your blog has gone to hell
    Just kilgore and Sharmuta
    And a really nasty smell
    The tip jar will be empty
    And your ISP shuts down
    And all the world will say
    Charles Johnson, what a clown!
