A Statement of Disgust

Election night and the citizens of this country have made a statement!  No doubt.  But will that statement be read correctly?  Will DC see that they must begin listening to the citizenry?  Will they practice a bit of humility and decide to change course?

Will the new people see this as what it obviously is - a rejection of DC corruption, arrogance, and elitism?  Or will they take it as a mandate and go on with business as usual?

This is an historic election.  Will we see an historic change of attitude in DC?  Will they now accept they work for us -- no matter how stupid they may think we are?

We the citizens of this country have spoken.

Meet Sanity at the Rally

This is just too funny! 

At the Rally to Restore Sanity, people were carrying signs declaring how smart they are.  That in itself is funny.  I'm surprised they didn't also carry signs declaring their unusual modesty. 

Enter a small group carrying a sign asking, "Obama a Keynesian?" and a man with a microphone.

The microphone man asks several people if they think Obama is a Keynesian.  The replies are downright hilarious. 

One lady makes such an, ah, fool of herself going ballistic and yelling, "He was born in Hawaii. He's given you proof. What more do you people want?"  Others are calmer but claim that most of us are from other places, like Italy, for instance.

If you want a good laugh, here is the link to the video:  http://michellemalkin.com/2010/11/01/time-to-play/

Enjoy!!

Take his job! I demand it!

The Lisa Murkowski campaign is acting an awful lot like a group that supports the government arm reaching into lives of individuals.  She got a fellow fired from his radio job.  She claims to be a Republican, a conservative.  Hmmm.

The radio person had encouraged people to become write-in candidates to obfuscate Lisa's write-in campaign. She had to go with a write-in because she was rejected by the voters in the primaries and was late in deciding to run anyway.  A poor loser. 

I'm not sure of the legalities, but encouraging write-in candidates was certainly not as manipulative as outright lies against opponents.  And outright lies are disseminated every day by so-called news outlets. And no one takes away the jobs of the liars. 

So what have we here?  I know I wouldn't vote for Lisa simply because a poor loser who demands taking a job from an opponent is not my kind of candidate.  I don't want someone like that governing me, thank you.

Sarah Palin, An Influencial Woman

This morning I was thinking about what Sarah Palin means to this country and its politics in general and to women in particular.

Currently, Sarah does not hold an office but is a very influential woman, perhaps the most influential woman in US politics.  Like all active conservative women, she's been painted as a nutjob, ignorant, or just downright dangerous, but she perseveres and draws huge crowds who see the real woman, the intelligent woman who honestly believes our country can rise above dirty politics to be something better.

Her respect for women's abilities and for the power of their common sense has inspired so many women - some to aggressively seek office or aspire to a higher office than previously considered and some just to take a deeper interest in how they vote and what they vote for.  Women, young and old, are awakening to the importance of the female vote, the influence women can have on the direction this country takes - Mama Grizzlies and Gramma Grizzlies anxious to protect the young and the kind of country the young will inherit.

Why has she been so influential?  I think one reason is she has shown women that political involvement does not have to be limited to stodgy, corrupt old men worried only about their personal fortunes and shrill, unattractive women screaming about their right to kill babies. 

She has shown that attractive women with conscience and common sense can influence politics and attempt to clean up the corruption - try to raise the political machinations up from the mire.  This country deserves common sense in DC.  We should not have to be ashamed of the way Washington is run.

Sarah has validated conservative women in politics.  Like Sarah, they can get out of the kitchen and withstand the heat generated by their opinion that common sense, not corruption, should rule.

Vote on Tuesday

Are you voting on Tuesday? 

Have you truly considered your vote or are you supporting the same party you always have - even the same party your parents always did?  Or are you voting for the party your teachers and professors told you to support?  Or the party that you researched fifteen years ago and deemed good.

Your party has changed.  How do I know?  Because both parties have evolved over the years.  Your parents' party is no longer your parents' party.  Find out who is running it and what they stand for.

This is America.  Every voter is responsible for considering the pros and cons of each candidate.  Voting for a party is no longer acceptable.

My brother summed it up a while back.  He said, "I did not leave the party; they left me."

Be sure you know who and what you are voting for.  Make sure the policies the candidate supports are the policies you want to support. 

Our country is about to collapse under the weight of our debts and our policies.  Vote for the people you think will work for our survival.   All else is relatively unimportant. 

OofDah!  Make the right choices for our country.   My grandchildren are depending on you. 

Arizonians Quaking in Their Shoes?

Apparently the administration is sending Department of Justice (DOJ) personnel to "observe" at the polls in Arizona. 

Considering:

1. the behavior of this administration in regard to Arizona's state laws,
2. the administration's and the DOJ's attitude toward enforcing the federal laws applicable to the border, 
3. the administration's concession of a US zone along the border to the illegals and drug cartels
4. the DOJ's decision to let off the billy-club-wielding, threatening gangsters at the 2008 polls,

one has to wonder on which side of the law the DOJ people will be they get to Arizona.

As President Reagan said, some of the most frightening words in the English language are, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

OofDah!  That, I'm thinking, would be true in Spades in Arizona.  And they are accustomed to living next door to the drug thugs! 

Rally for Sanity Another Alice Moment

Another Alice moment.  The Rally to Restore Sanity.  A sign.  "I Support the Rally to Restore Sanity.  NAMBLA."

Hint MBL is for Man-Boy Love.  That's not my idea of sanity.  Not with boys in my family!

Another sign.  "I masturbate to Christine O'Donnell."  Held by some mother's daughter.  I'm sure she's proud of her sweet girl! 

I wonder, is the girl doing it to O'Donnell?  I mean is she offering it up as a gift?  Or does she mean "I masturbate, too, Christine."  I'm sure her English teacher is also proud of this literate girl.

Oh, yeah.  Sanity!   This rally was all about sanity!

Alice, are you down here in this rabbit hole?  Or are you inside the looking glass?
